Electronic cigarettes may be more tempting to non-smoking youths than conventional cigarettes, and once young people have tried e-cigarettes they are more inclined to give regular cigarettes a try, U.S. researchers said on Monday.
A report, released by a team at the U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, lends evidence to the argument that electronic cigarettes encourage youth smoking.
The study, based on nationally representative youth surveys, found that more than a quarter-million adolescents and teens who had never smoked used an electronic cigarette in 2013, a threefold increase from 2011.
Youths who had tried e-cigarettes were nearly twice as likely to...

Skip to comments.Time's Person of The Year
Posted on 12/14/2011 1:03:23 PM PST by MeshugeMikey
NEW YORK (AP) "The Protester" has been named Time's "Person of the Year" for 2011.
(Excerpt) Read more at finance.yahoo.com ...
What they mean is all protesters except tea party protesters.
They should have at least had the pic of the guy taking a dump on the front cover. That would sum up the content.
someone should photoshop him onto the Time cover.
Is there a Guinness' Book of World Records category for Most Consecutive Years of Colossally Stupid Selections for Person Of The Year?
Does anyone read TIME any more? I don't even think my dentist has a subscription these days.
The Time's "Public Park Poopster" of the year
I'd like to see Looter Guy, Pooper Guy and Matthew Lesko all all on the front cover together.
Yes,they mean the non-permit acquiring,deficating the the park, public masterbater,leave the area in ruins type protestor...in other words not the Tea Party folks.
I cancelled and got several family and friend to cancel Time and News Weeks years ago.Ha!
Next year: All carbon-based life forms.
"Next year: All carbon-based life forms."
Is there such a thing as non-carbon-based life?
You are right, though, that's the direction in which Time is headed (ell, that and towards bankruptcy). The following year will have to be everything that exists, I guess. Then everything theoretically possible. Then I don't know.
That's a really good question. You would think that the Internet would have killed it off by now. Who wants to read news that's a week old when you can read news that is five minutes old.
There was once a Star Trek episode in which they encountered a silicon based life form. Kirk and Spock and the guys were surprised to find a life form which was not carbon based.
So at least in the realm of science fiction, there are non-carbon based life forms.
Forbes said the smart money was on Steve Jobs "which would have made him the first deceased person-of-the-year".
Either Time still has Bill Gates as an advertiser, or they figure their arrogant elitism deserves to finish off the publication with one, big, final insulting dump against civilized Americans.
They are attempting to make the ludicrous OWS protests the "biggest story of the year".
I guess the Islamic takeovers, Japan tsunami, last shuttle flight, Norway massacre and other things are trivial. lol.
Having seen the cover, the Person of the Year sure looks like a terrorist to me.
Adam Carolla coined their proper title: ass douches
The magazine will get even thinner and subscription cancellations will swamp their mailbox...from the NON-OWStreeters.
They won't get cancellations from the OWStreeters - the half that can read don't subscribe to TIME - they'll buy this one issue for proof of their 15 minutes of infamy.
Pathetic that Time chose this nincompoop(idea) over runner up Paul Ryan.
I wish I subscribed to Time, so that I could call them and cancel because of this insulting Marxist choice for "Person of the Year"
Let's hope Time magazine dies a quick and painful death.
I'd like to see them ask for a bailout from our next Conservative president and see them denied.
"But, we're too big too fail!"
NOT THAT I KNOW OF but there certainly should be.

For those of you who don't already know the sensation that is "American Girl", let me explain. The company started off as a publisher. A way to get little girls interested in history through their line of historical dolls and books that told an accurate but fictitious story of those long long ago and far far away. From there the brand has sprung boarded. Growing their name with dolls that look like you and stories of girls that went through life's issues just like you. Lessons on bullying, a developing body, and saying no to drugs. Life made easy with manuals that read like a story. Mothers and daughters agree the dolls are a hit, a girl's best friend personified.
After visiting the American Girl Boutique at Chapters Robson and wanting to learn more about this experience and phonemon, it was time for a field trip to the states. Our destination, the American Girl store in Lynnwood. We went as a group of doll enthusiast ready to have eyes wide open and jaws dropped. Here we would reflect on our childhood and the absence of these wonderful dolls in them.
The cafe is located with in their store, another service along side the hair salon, the ability to pierce your doll's ears and to craft her her own tee shirt to match yours.
The cafe is a barrage of cute and pink, swirled together in varying shades to become every little girl's dream room, her favourite place to host high tea. Pink walls, pink tops, pink flowers in a miniature watering cans on each pink table, and pink menus divided into desserts and entrees. Each seat was set with napkins folded and tied off with a pink bow. A hair tie you then get to take home to use in your own hair or that of your doll's The booths were striped in pink, brown and green; and the chairs done with brown backs and a polka dotted cushion.
Most impressive was the ceiling feature, designed to look like a giant flower blooming from above. It's centre a swirl of lights, wires, and bulbs. And surrounding it, more lighting in the form of orbs made of intertwined wire.
Seeing as we didn't have any dolls of our own we were able to enjoy our snack with dolls that the bistro loaned out. Dolls sitting on shelves waiting to dine with you right at your table, and best part you can choose which one you wanted. Each doll came dressed in her trademark pink top, grey skirt, and brown boots. With them we were given a special pink seat. The miniature chair easily slid into place between the table's edge. Positioned beside you on the kitty corner, your doll and her seat didn't take up any extra space. Our group of three each choose a doll with hair and eyes that best matched our own. I named mine Ivy for the day. This concept is such a smart event. What little girl doesn't enjoy eating with her doll? If she brings her's to the dinner table at home imagine the joy of bringing her to an actual restaurant? And if any girl comes without her doll or with a friend who doesn't have a doll, they don't have to miss out on the experience by dining with the dolls on loan.
The servers wore pink aprons over their black and white dress code. Like the rest of the staff they were all female and all well trained to speak to younger girls and their older accompanying associates. After all this was all about letting these girls be girls in a safe space. Our server greeted us like a long lost friend. Inviting and friendly, she wore it on her face as a smile and spoke it through her kind words. As this was our first time she went through the adventure with us, setting down a little pink box when she was done. These were table top conversation starters. Random questions to propose to your group and stir some friendly comparisons or gentle debate.
When in Rome… Apparently the thing to get here is their "pink lemonade". A neon drink that best represents the pink of the place in liquid form. And as we were given our glasses each of our dolls got her own cup and saucer too. Little extras that we would be able to take home, as another great souvenir of today's events.
We were here focusing on their menu of desserts. Broken up between "frozen treats" and "one of a kind creations", we passed on the every day milk shakes, smoothies, and sundaes; opting instead for that which we couldn't find else where.
"Chocolate mousse flowerpot". Light and fluffy chocolate mousse topped with crumbled cookies, and served with a mini cookie on the side. Each serving arrives in their signature green flowerpot with a cheerful daisy planted in. What a cute idea, a visual feast before you actually feasted. The cookies were moist, clearly baked on the day. The mousse was whipped until smooth and best paired with the crunch of the ground up cookie crumb "dirt".
A "Trio of mini ice cream cones" in vanilla, strawberry, and chocolate. Each ball of ice cream is dipped in colourful candy sprinkles. They tasted like your standard Neapolitan flavours in your regular cones made of butter, flour, and sugar. It is more about the novelty of having three ice creams instead of one, and having three flavours instead of committing to one.
"Biggest brownie sundae ever". The suggested sharing was between 4-6 people. Our group of three women was up to the challenge. Eight alternating scoops of chocolate and vanilla ice cream, smothered with rich brownie crumbles and topped with whipped cream, chocolate syrup, sprinkles, and bright red cherries. At $21 this would be the most I have ever spent on ice cream. But wow you get a lot. Assembled for the most impact on a long dish, you can't help but to to stare with awe in your eyes while grinning with delight on your lips. The ice cream and toppings were out of your childhood dreams. Though the cookie crumbs were hard and almost stale; I wanted more chewiness from them like what we had with our heart shaped brownie pieces at each end.
This whole experience is replicated for every little girl that enters on any day of the week. Be it a Sunday high tea service with an actual three layered tray and tea pot, an everyday lunch of sandwiches or pasta, or a once a year birthday party with all her closest friends. The back is equipped with a full kitchen and a band of talented chefs. Their goal to put out the perfect plates to keep these little faces smiling. With advance notice the staff are also able prepare a special room to host any party. But for a birthday each girl and doll get their own crowns to wear in celebration of the occasion. And to take home a goodie bag with birthday themed tee and red American Girl balloon for each doll.
Would I come back? – Yes.
Would I line up for it? – Yes.
Would I recommend it? – Yes.
Would I suggest this for someone visiting from out of town? – Yes.
Maybe not the first place in mind for a meal with your grown up friends, but truly one of the best places for a little girl and her doll. I only wish I had this growing up and can share this now with all the little girls I know. A restaurant that is not only about the food, but has equal emphasis put into the setting and the service, then the experience of everything all together. For an hour I was allowed to be a kid again, to play make believe and order whatever I wanted without thought of consequence. For me this is a memory I will cherish, as I know, no doubt the other girls in the cafe would too. Don't deny your cravings.

The Good
Since jumping on the title with issue #17, Jeff Lemire has been adding all-new layers to Oliver's mythos. We've seen new characters here and there and heard about certain aspects, but now we're diving into the story that'll finally unravel it all. Even though Lemire's creating a big world around Oliver (one which reminds me of what Geoff Johns did with Green Lantern), this issue is mostly dedicated to the hero himself and what he's endured to become the man he currently is. It covers a lot of familiar territory, but it's presented to us in clever manner and with a sharp script. Because of that, seeing Oliver master a bow as he's stuck on the island doesn't feel redundant -- it feels immersive.
While they don't have the opportunity to hit us with any energetic action, Andrea Sorrentino and Marcelo Maiolo still have produce a lot of mighty fine looking panels. The scenery and landscapes are presented beautifully and with so much life. The character work remains strong and the emphasis on lighting is particularly commendable. There's also quite a few clever panel layouts and I love the decision to have some of Oliver's memories presented from his perspective. All in all, it should come as no surprise by now that this is yet another wonderful looking issue.
The Bad
Seeing as this is pretty much pure story building and designed as a jumping on point, there's a whole lot of exposition and some panels are absolutely loaded with dialogue. Everything's well done, but there's no real "wow factor" with this one. It's basically laying down the building blocks, but at least it ends on a note which will promise some excitement in the next chapter.
The Verdict
We've been hearing so much about all of the different clans and this opening chapter serves as mostly buildup to the greater picture. There's nothing explosive here, but I dig the character-driven emphasis with Oliver and you can really feel there's something epic coming around the corner. A few big factors are set in motion and, now that the set up is primarily out of the way, it's time for the "war" to truly begin. A return to the island may feel redundant (especially if you're watching Arrow), but with Lemire's creative writing and Sorrentino/Maiolo's impressive artwork, it's a very welcome trip and I'm seriously looking forward to the next issue.

Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Smart networks are becoming part of our daily life. Social networks and novel infrastructure networks are all around us and promise new exciting opportunities of communication, collaboration and doing business. These new adventures come at a high price though: Our privacy.
Online privacy is one of the major concerns in todays modern society. Far too often we trade privacy for trust in order to reap the promised potential of such smart networks. Since the fundaments of rights shifted from the person to social circumstances, it is increasingly difficult to protect the privacy of individuals sharing a public space, or performing public activities.
This issue collects tutorials and original contributions in the area of trust and privacy in networks. Contributions are welcome that contain theoretical work about trust and privacy in networks as well as present practical examples from our daily life.
Dr. Dieter M. Arnold

chime 1
- Take off the cover to the chimes or bells and inspect the points that strike the chime or bell for dirt.
- Some looked like variants of things I recognized; there were string instruments like lutes or small guitars, there were drums, chimes, tambourines.
- Here, Stewart's vocals hang in hazy suspensions of wafting guitars, piercing chimes, subliminal drones, and ornately wrought percussion.
- Even out here, he had heard the chimes and was transported.
- A few seconds after she spoke, the crew of the Varian could hear the same mysterious chimes floating through the air, but this time, they did have a melody.
- Reality of the situation came back down when I heard the chimes go through the house and I froze, horrified.
- It wasn't until we had reached the top platform in front of the door that we heard the bells and chimes tune telling everyone we had arrived.
- Much like musical doorbell chimes: you can only listen to a badly midi-ized version of the William Tell overture once before you rip out the batteries and revert to knocking.
- People choose chimes for two button doorbell circuits because they want different sounds for the front and back doors.
- Doomsday was not on the agenda when the chimes struck midnight and 2000 was born.
- The chime struck twice, to ring in the second millennium.
- Time passes again, the same clock hands spin madly, the same bells ring and the same chimes chime.

- Elsewhere, other fireworks lit the night sky, as the St Magnus Cathedral bells chimed over Broad Street revellers and Stromness echoed to the sound of ships' horns.
- At 10.29 am, when the second tower collapsed, bells chimed and fog-horns of boats on the nearby Hudson River sounded.
- Moreover, the apparently abstract nature of many of the paintings - particularly those with a limited range of colours and a simple geometric composition - chimes with the modern design aesthetic.
- Housing experts believe that the market in Scotland will continue to slow this year with rises pegged at around an average of 5% at the most, chiming with the results of the YouGov survey.
- But now the same complaint is chiming with adults, angered by a decision to go to war that flies in the face of public opinion.

Middle English (in the senses 'cymbal' and 'ring out'): probably from Old English cimbal (see cymbal), later interpreted as chime bell.
cymbal from Old English:
The shape of a cymbal is central to its name: it comes via Latin cymbalum from Greek kumbalon, from kumbē 'cup'. Chime (Middle English) was first recorded as meaning 'cymbal' as a noun, and 'ring out' as a verb. It is probably the Old English form, cimbal (which would have been pronounced with a 'ch' sound, the modern 's' sound coming from French) later interpreted as chime bell.

Need Advice,
I'm designing a 42" widescreen 16:9 touch screen interface. What resolution should I create my prototype in, what's a good resource site I should look into.
Thanks in advance
Hi Aleya
The following blog and articles provide a good start-point...
with the motherload of design inspiration on this Vimeo channel for tui/multitouch (which I personally curate :))
Best of luck,
Regarding the resolution; I guess you're best of finding out what the hardware you're designing for runs as a native resolution and use that as a starting point. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Display_resolution might be of some help.
This recent presentation at MIX10 conference may be relevant to your task: Touch in Public: Multi-touch Interaction Design for Kiosks and Architectural Experiences
When designing for touch-screen kiosks (for travel applications), I found the following publications useful:
Maguire M. C. (1999) A review of user-interface design guidelines for public information kiosk systems, International Journal of Human-Computer Studies 50, 263-286
O'Hara J. M., Brown W. S., Lewis P. M. & Persensky J. J. (2002) Human-System Interface Design Review Guidelines (NUREG-0700, Rev. 2), Washington: US Nuclear Regulatory Commission
Department of Defense (1999) Department of Defense Design Criteria Standard: Human Engineering (MIL-STD-1472F), Washington: Department of Defense
Waloszek G. (2000) Interaction Design Guide for Touchscreen Applications, SAP

The quick fix is probably to wrap the handler routine within #ifdef linux
(since that's the only archtiecture that registers it)
If you want to look at implementing the load function for other architectures
too, then feel free - that's clearly the better long-term approach.
But unless you're in a position to do this straight away, I'm inclined to
limit the effects of this patch to just Linux kit for now.

"The Giver"
Major Essay Assignment Description
"The Giver" by Lois Lowry is a story, seen through the eyes of the young boy Jonas that tells of a society in which everything seems ideal. Everyone has a job for which he or she is suited emotionally, physically, and mentally. Both the young and the old are cared for and given special attention. Each family has a mother, father, daughter, and son. There is no disease, crime, or any of the common problems we deal with in our current society.
For this assignment, pick 2 social issues prevalent in our current society or of interest to you other than Abortion, Birth Control, the Death Penalty, or Teen Pregnancy. (Possible issues could include Day Care, Gun Control, Surrogate Mothers, Overpopulation, Homelessness, State Assisted Welfare, Euthanasia, Drug Use, Crime, Gangs, etc.) Write an essay comparing the methods our society uses to deal with these issues with the methods the society represented in "The Giver" might use to deal with them. In your comparison, indicate clearly to me how you feel these issues could/should be best dealt with. You may cite personal experiences as well as examples directly from "The Giver."
The essay should be 2-3 typed pages, double-spaced, with the standard 1 inch side margins, and font size no larger than 12 point. This essay will be due at the beginning of class on Friday, October 1.

Making things better is about raising a smile and delivering that "Someone has really thought about me" feeling.
It's about using our creativity and expertise to improve brands and businesses. And maybe even change the world.
This is what gets our blood pumping, our hearts racing and our minds working. The idea that every day we have the chance to change things – for the better.
As creative people, it's in our nature to look at the world and everything in it with a curiosity that makes us question why? And how?
"Why was it done like that?" and "How could it be improved?"
We have an innate desire to enhance things, functionally, aesthetically and experientially so that they can have a more meaningful and positive impact on people's lives.

Easy Breakfast Recipes to Start Your Day
Morning meals to fill you up from The FIRM
Just as important as eating breakfast is eating the right breakfast. If you start out a little shaky (with something like sugar- and carb-laden coffee cake), you're very likely to continue down a less-than-optimal nutrition path for the rest of the day.
Many of my nutrition clients will tell me, "I already ruined my day with the donuts this morning, so what's the point in eating healthy for the rest of the day?" Although I don't agree with that "all or nothing" mentality, I do understand that it's hard to turn yourself back around midday. (I constantly struggle with this myself!)
"Bad" breakfasts often include a heavy dose of sugar, and sugar is just plain destructive to your nutritional plan. In short, eating sugar makes you crave more sugar, and this effect is even stronger in the morning hours, when you are setting up your blood sugar to cycle up and down all day. By eating sugar early in the day, you are setting yourself up for a day full of cravings.
The trick to starting your day off right is eating a breakfast with lean protein and fiber to keep you satisfied until lunchtime.
This month, I'd like for all of us to focus more on our breakfast meal. Take some time to plan a meal that contains protein and fiber, and that is void of sugar. Some breakfast foods to include are: eggs, egg whites or Egg Beaters®; low-sugar yogurt; cottage cheese; oatmeal, protein shakes; nuts and nut butters.
Below you will find three of my favorite tried-and-true breakfast recipes. Two of the recipes, the breakfast pizza and the pancake soufflé, are more for the weekend, when you have some extra time on your hands.
Try out these recipes or experiment with your own healthy breakfast creations and then come share some of your morning meals with us. We would love to hear from you!
Bronson's Breakfast Pizza
makes 3 servings
This recipe came from my brother's best friend Bronson. Of course, I tweaked some of the ingredients to make it more nutritionally "sound," but what I like best about this breakfast meal is that it will truly keep you satiated well into lunchtime. The high-protein and low-sugar content is a win-win situation for your body.
- 1 8-inch whole-wheat pizza crust (I use Boboli®)
- 4 scrambled egg whites
- ⅓ cup canned low-sodium diced tomatoes
- ½ cup reduced fat shredded cheese (cheddar or Mexican mix)
- 1 soy-based breakfast sausage patty, crumbled (I use Morningstar Farms®)
- 1 pinch Italian seasoning
Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Top the pizza crust with the scrambled eggs, tomatoes and cheese and then add the sausage patty. Season with a pinch of Italian seasoning and pepper, if you desire. Bake in the oven for 8-10 minutes or until warm throughout. Remove from oven and let the pizza "rest" for 5 minutes. Cut into thirds and serve.

Pancake Soufflés with Sautéed Apples
makes 3 servings
I can't say that this recipe is the picture-perfect model of a high-protein, high-fiber meal, but I wanted to include it because it was my favorite breakfast meal as a kid. I've played around with the ingredients to make it a little healthier, but if you want to up the protein, serve it with plain Greek yogurt or cottage cheese on the side.
For soufflé:
- ½ cup 1% milk
- ¼ tsp salt
- ½ cup flour
- ½ tsp sugar
- 2 large eggs
- ½ tsp vanilla extract
- ½ tsp lemon zest
- 1 tbsp canola oil
For apples:
- 1 tbsp butter
- 2 tart apples, peeled, cored and cut into ½ inch slices
- 2 tbsp sugar
- ¼ tsp cinnamon
- ⅛ tsp nutmeg
For soufflé:
Preheat oven to 425 degrees. Mix milk, salt, flour and sugar. Add eggs until blended. Add vanilla and lemon. Place a 10-inch "ovenproof" skillet over medium heat and add the canola oil. Allow the oil to get hot — about 1-2 minutes. Pour the batter into the skillet and place into the oven. Bake for 15-20 minutes or until crisp and "puffed" and lightly browned.
For apples:
Melt butter in a small skillet over medium heat and add the apple slices. Sauté the apples for about 5 minutes. Mix together the sugar, cinnamon and nutmeg; add to the apples. Cover and cook for a few more minutes, until the apples are softened to your liking.
To serve:
Cut the soufflé into thirds and top with the sautéed apples.

The "Make-Ahead" Bowl of Oatmeal
makes 4 servings
I much prefer steel-cut or Irish oats over "instant" or rolled oats. They are less refined, which results in a higher fiber more whole grain. The downside is that the steel-cut and Irish oats take a lot longer to cook. In order to enjoy the nutritional benefits of these whole oats on the fly, you can cook a large pot-full once a week and enjoy them all week long. Below you will find my recipe for 4 servings of oatmeal. I added in my favorite toppings, but feel free to experiment with your own.
1 cup steel-cut oats
1 tbsp canola oil
3 cups boiling water
Pinch of salt
Toppings (per serving):
½ cup skim or 1% milk
½ of a chopped Granny Smith apple
¼ tsp ground cinnamon
2 tbsp slivered almonds
In a medium saucepan, add the oil and heat over medium heat. Lower the heat to low, add the oats and stir often, allowing the oats to "toast," for about 1-2 minutes. Then add the boiling water and salt, reduce the heat to low and allow to simmer for 25 minutes without stirring. Remove from heat and taste for doneness. Allow to cool and place in an airtight container in the refrigerator.
Portion the oatmeal into 4 servings. Top each serving with the milk, apple, cinnamon and almonds. Microwave for 1-2 minutes, or until heated throughout. Stir well, allowing the milk to be evenly distributed.

H Saffy1984, I think you mean testing after a MC to see what the cause was? I think it is usually something that they only do if you have had about three in a row, such as genetic tests or physical reasons like a weak cervix, that sort of thing. I have had three losses but all very spaced apart and for different reasons so don't qualify for tests as most people would not unless they have had three all close together in a row.

My SIL is just now waiting for test results (16th Feb) as she had 3 mc's in 8 Months. The doctors told her after her 2nd mc that they don't do any tests to see if anything is wrong until you have 3 in succession. I find this very unfair but i suppose mc is a natural thing and in some cases there is no rhyme or reason for it.
Don't know if this is what you meant?? Other than that test with a hpt to see if you levels are back to normal. I was told I had mc'd over the telephone and I haven't seen any one since!!!

i have had 3 m/c and am due to see a specialist in march not sure what they will do tho,i had first m/c a few yrs ago second in june and 3rd dec.
When you have a d & c they dont do anything more as they say they get everything when doing the op and there is no need to re scan/follow up.
It really makes you feel like another number so to speak as you are practically left to just get on with it.xx

Yeah, I did mean tests to make sure that nothing is wrong. I know that sometimes it just happens and its one of those things but it does seem really cruel to me that they make you go trough 3 before they do any testing at all. I found it heartbreaking after 1 - i cant imagine wot it would be like to have to endure three!
Someone had written on one of the forums that they had some tests and found they had an infection - BV - that could have caused their miscarriage. It just made me think that after a mc they could perhaps give you simple swab tests??? I tried to get a smear test and swabs but the nurse flatly refused to give me one because im not 25 for 6 months!
I think you feel so isolated after mc - they send you off with ur leaflets & ur left with ur feelings & questions.
Sorry rant over!!
hope ur testing goes ok waiting4bfp & good luck to you all x

I have to agree with you Saffy1984, that I feel totally alone after my mmc and D/C!
The hospital just sent me on my way with some leaflets!
I just wish they could give you something like a written report on what tests they had carried out on my baby etc!

I didn't have any testing (or so i thought) after my mmc and visit to hosptial in Dec. They rang me yesterday to inform me of problems they found with the placenta. They ran these tests 2 weeks after my erpc and just filed my results - I'm so pee'd off!
She said they normally run tests but don't inform you unless there are problems. I'm not so sure what happens though with a natural mc.
It's almost like they give you some leaflets and tell you to be on your way, just feel like a number and not an individual with worries and concerns.

im not sure what happens during the opp you had or anything
but i know how you feel in regards to feeling like just another number!!
they wouldnt even give me a scan there and then to see if baby was ok and they new there was a high chance i was miscarrying.... after that they should have given tests to make sure there was no damage or infection especially with how far through the pregnancy i was but i had nothing

It is really bad how most of us have been treated after m/c. I was actually having a threatened miscarriage but they couldnt get me in for a scan for a whole week by which point I had already realised that the baby had gone by doing the test myself. The NHS just really dont want to know at all. Its especially disgusting what has happened to you n1c. It makes me want to start a petition or something!!! x

I had a post m/c scan, 10 days after but have been referred to a specialist even though it was my first m/c, due to the fact it took me so long to conceive, not sure what they are going to do though yet, i am still waiting for my appointment to come through, xxx

I didnt have any testing or even leaflets after miscarriage. In fact, I had to take 7 trips and 7 scans before they even decided to tell me what was going on with my body. I knew I was 8 weeks, but they kept telling me I was 4 weeks pregnant because there was no heartbeat. I pretty much knew it was a mc because of that plus i was going through 20 or more Courtney Love sized maxi pads a day and was experiencing contractions. I bled heavily for 3 weeks. That was my second miscarriage and I'm still resentful of the way I was treated.
Here I am, 17 months later, finally conceived again. It took a really long time to fall pregnant after that ordeal. I'm dreading to go back to that hospital to get my 12 week scan. But if they try to pussy foot with me again they'll get a Pele blow off in their ward.

Haunted MineEdit This Entity
- 2 Quest Points
|Start Point
Speak to the Zealot, south-west of Mort'ton
Members Only
Skill: 15 Agility, 35 Crafting
Quest: Priest in Peril
Item: Chisel
Other: Ability to defeat Treus Dayth
- These skills may be temporarily boosted with Stat Enhancers to complete the quest.
- Stat Enhancers can NOT be used on this skill to meet the quest requirements.
For Skill Requirements without either of these pictures, you may or may not be able to use stat enhancers. If you can confirm either way, please submit a correction.
Skill: High Ranged/Magic level
Item: Ball of wool, good food, energy enhancements, Ectophial
Part 1:
Exploring the Mine
Step 1
Talk to Zealot
Pickpocket Zealot
Climb over cart and crawl down tunnel
To start the quest talk to the Zealot located a few paces north of the Abandoned Mine. He will ask you to state your allegiance. Say that you follow the path of Saradomin, then say you come seeking challenges and quests. Finally ask him what kind of quest he has.
Next, pickpocket the Zealot to get a Zealot's Key; you will need it later. Go south-east of the Zealot and you will find a track with many mine carts on it. Climb over the last one, and you will be at the entrance to the mine. Crawl down the tunnel.
Step 2
Crawl through tunnel
Head west and through another tunnel
Climb down ladder
Evade cart
Climb down ladder
Pick fungus
Use fungus on cart
Head west, following the tracks to another cart tunnel with a ladder near it (Picture), ignore the ladder and crawl through the tunnel.Once out of the mine, head south to another tunnel and go through it. From there, head east, then north to another ladder. Once again, head east and climb down the ladder.
From this ladder, head north-west and you will see a track with a mine cart on it. The mine cart will move up and down the track. Hide in crevasses in the wall and wait for the mine cart to pass before you go; head south and climb down the ladder next to the mine.
From this room, head west and pick some glowing fungus from the water (Picture). Since there is a chance of failing, pick more than one glowing fungus just in case. Head north-west to another mine cart, and use the glowing fungus with it. The fungus is needed to be able to see further on in the cave; if you were to take one outside it would turn to ash - thus the following step.
Part 2:
Working the Controls
Step 3
Look at point settings
Pull A, B, C, D, and E
Go to first floor
Climb down ladder, step 4.
Go north-west and look at the point settings (Picture), you will need it to look like this:To do this you will need to pull the levers to change the arrows. There are two groups of levers, one north of the point settings (Picture),which has levers I, J, K, H, G, and F. The other is east of the settings (Picture), which has letters A, B, C, D, and E.
Pull them until it looks like the second picture in step 3, then press the START button. Each time you pull a lever, the dark and red arrows on the settings will switch, also keep in mind that the settings will not reset if you log out or leave the area. If done correctly, it will show a small animation of the cart moving and going toward the ladder. If done incorrectly, the cart will just go into the water. If it does this, the fungus you put in the cart will be gone, and you will need to replace it and redo the levers until it works.
Retrace your steps all the way to the first floor, and take the ladder that you ignored earlier in step 2 and climb down that one.
Step 4
Climb 2 ladders
Search cart
Climb up ladder
Climb down ladder near guarding cart
This room has many flickering ghosts called Hazes and level 1 rats in it. Ignore them and go north-east to another ladder, and climb down.
Head west past the first two intersections, then to the north; you will find yet another ladder to climb down. You will now be on an island with a mine cart and a track that leads out into the water; search it and you will find the fungus you placed in it earlier; take it.
Now climb back up the ladder. Now that you have the fungus, go all the way east to another mine cart which guards a room; avoid it and climb down the ladder there.
Part 3:
Taking the Key...
Step 5
Take east path.
Use key, water valve
Take west path
Take lift
Take east road, down path
Head south and you will find a large structure that splits into two paths. Take the east one, going south, until you find a water valve (Picture). If you try and turn it you will find that it's locked. Here's where the Zealot's Key comes in. Use it, and the valve will turn. Now go back to the structure and take the west path. Head all the way south and you will find a lift (Picture); take it.
Note: make sure you run fast from the turning of the valve to the lift, because if you don't, a ghost will turn it off and the lift won't work.
After you swim off the lift, head south and you will find a road with two paths, going west and east. Go east and down the stairs and prepare to fight the ghost.
Step 6
Go through door
Take key
Fight Treus Dayth, take key
Take stairs twice
Open doors
Cut crystals
Items required: Chisel.
Head west past the door into a large room, there is an innocent looking key on one of the crates, attempt to take it and the Treus Dayth will appear. Once he appears all the machines will come to life and start to attack you, along with flying axes. Be aware of the moving carts while fighting Treus Dayth, as they can cause severe damage. Super restore potions are recommended while fighting Treus Dayth, as he will lower your stats.
If you are going to use melee, you should obtain 100% energy before picking up the innocent key since the ghost will teleport around the room at random. This will give you only one or two chances to attack him before he becomes insubstantial and floats to another part of the room. Bringing a ranged weapon or using high leveled spells would be much easier than simply fighting it with melee, since he tends to force you to go through things that will hurt you. Protect from range does not work as he will fling pickaxes at you. Slayer dart is also very effective, but remember that 55 slayer is required for this. Cannons cannot be used.
Once you defeat him, take the key. Next go back up the stairs and head west to some more stairs, walk down them.
Open the large doors south of the stairs and head south-east, you will find a large area with many crystals in it, cut one of them (if you don't have a chisel there are a few by the lift, on crates) and you will get a salve shard in your inventory.
A: Use a ball of wool with a salve shard.
A: Yes you can, but you must first drop the current shard in your inventory before attempting to obtain another one.
A: Pickpocket the Zealot to get another one.
A: You need to bring the glowing mushroom down there. You must bring the mushroom every time; you do not need to pick new mushrooms or change the tracks, just start the cart rolling through the tracks.
A: You need to defeat Tarn Razorlor.

Many regaining optimism about retirement, but doubts persist
Despite gains, "Will I have enough?" remains a nagging question
When it comes to retirement, some folks are eagerly anticipating the long-awaited respite from decades of hard work, routine hours, and stress. Others are looking forward to exploring interests, pursuing hobbies, traveling extensively, and connecting with family and friends. But no matter how they spend it, much of the enthusiasm around retirement is tempered by a growing belief that additional assets will be needed to enjoy it fully.
Human resources consultant Aon Hewitt estimates retirees at age 65 will need 11 times their final salary if they want to maintain the same standard of living.1 A Bankrate.com report published last August identifies a potential savings shortfall, with only 18% of working Americans saving more for retirement than in 2012, 17% saving less, and 54% about the same.
Majority of seniors and Boomers feel good about retirement.
On the upside, most seniors are surprisingly optimistic about the future, according to a recent survey of adults age 60 and older conducted by the National Council on Aging, UnitedHealthcare, and USA Today.2 A reported 66% believe they can manage their monthly expenses, while many expressed excitement about living a longer life. Among the most anticipated events are watching their grandchildren grow and spending time with family and friends.
Baby boomers plan to retire sooner.
With several signs of economic improvement on the horizon, baby boomers are feeling increasingly positive about their retirement timeline. A 2013 Del Webb Boomer Survey3 conducted this summer revealed that a majority of employed baby boomers, aged 50-60, expect to retire earlier than planned just three years ago. Specifically, 57% intend to retire from their full-time professions at 65 vs a median age of 67 in 2010. This is in part due to their comfort with a rebounding real estate market and overall financial situation.
But it isn't all roses.
There are, however, substantial seeds of doubt. Over half of those surveyed are worried their life savings will not sufficiently support their retirement years, a legitimate concern, since 41% of older Americans will rely on Social Security as their primary source of income during retirement. Additionally, 49% say their city or town was not doing enough to prepare for the incoming wave of baby boomers approaching retirement while 15% reported feeling isolated.
To work or not to work. That is the question.
Work is one way many plan to meet the expected retirement income shortfall. According to the survey, nearly 80% plan to work in some capacity during retirement, with 28% working on a part time or flexible basis. Some 51% plan to work full time in their current career or at a new job while 21% plan to give up working entirely.
It's never too late to seek financial guidance.
Whatever your attitude toward retirement, there are a numerous products and strategies available for every life stage to help you achieve the comfortable retirement you've planned for. Your New York Life Agent can meet with you to review your situation to help you formulate a financial blueprint that's right for you and your loved ones.

The City of Ember
by Jeanne DuPrau
The Bean Sprout
Symbolism, Imagery, Allegory
The bean sprout first comes up in conversation when Lina asks Clary if Ember is really the only light in the dark world. Clary pulls the bean out of her pocket and says that something inside it knows how to make a bean plant. This might be some kind of clue as to what is going on with Ember, because Ember is also alive, and the life inside it had to come from somewhere.
Clary gives Lina the bean seed, along with a pot filled with some dirt, saying, "Stick the bean in here and water it every day […] It looks like nothing, like a little white stone, but inside it there's life. That must be a sort of clue, don't you think? If we could just figure it out" (4.98). Lina takes it home and waters it, and when Clary stops by to help Lina with the instructions, she points out that it's started to sprout.
Is it a coincidence that the bean starts to sprout right when Lina makes headway in deciphering the instructions, and learns that they're instructions for how to exit Ember? We don't think so. Just as the bean sprout breaks out of it seed shell and begins to flourish, Lina begins to figure out how the people of Ember can leave their long-term home and find a new, hospitable place to live.

Officially, the World Series doesn't begin until Wednesday, but I can't help but believe we actually watched it over the past several days with Boston and Tampa Bay. I have to say I was pulling for Tampa Bay. Despite the fact they won 97 games and their division, they were undoubtedly the underdog.
Underdog no more. In fact, they may now be the favorite heading into their frist World Series.
Can Philadelphia possibly match up against Tampa Bay?
Is Hamels-Myers-Moyer-Blanton as good as Kazmir-Shields-Garza-Sonnanstine?
Can the third-year manager (Manuel) beat the second-year manager (Maddon)?
Who has helped to put together the better team? The current Astros GM (and former Philly GM) Ed Wade or former Astros' GM and now Senior VP of Baseball Operations Gerry Hunsicker?
We'll talk more, but here's my pick:
Rays over Phillies, 4-2.
And congratulations to Gerry, Jim, Dan, Trever, Ben, Brad and Eric.
There's been a lot of Jake Peavy talk in recent days. While Peavy himself says he would like to pitch in Houston, the consensus is that the 27-year-old is most likely headed to a different National League city.
Whether or not you are in favor of trading Jose Valverde or Hunter Pence and others to acquire Peavy, we can all agree he's one player that would be a game-changer in the Astros' chances to return to the playoffs.
But are there other players that would put a sparkle in your eye if they were in an Astros' uniform? Is there someone who makes you drool even more than Peavy?
Let's frame it like this. Many of you would approve a Valverde-Pence-Wandy Rodriguez trade to San Diego for Peavy, Chase Headley and another key player or a couple of prospects.
Using the same package (Valverde-Pence-Rodriguez) — and excluding free agents (C.C., Sheets, etc.) — what other player excites you? Who would you pull the trigger on for that package?
Brandon Webb? Cliff Lee? Roy Halladay? Tim Lincecum?
Oh, and one more note in the Great Closer Debate: The Phillies have the best this season (Brad Lidge) and the Rays have their Closer Committee. So does a team need a $10 million pitcher to close the deal or not?
In reality, Tampa Bay may have a new closer. With a lefty who throws 95 mph, I've got an idea that 24-year-old David Price has at least moved to Chairman of the Committee, wouldn't you say?
In addition to Gerry Hunsicker and several players, have you noticed that there are a smattering of former Astros on the coaching staffs of the Phillies and Rays?
Tampa Bay: Steve Henderson (hitting coach), Jim Hickey (pitching coach), Tim Bogar (Quality Assurance Coach).
Phillies: Milt Thompson (hitting coach), Davey Lopes (first base coach), Jimy Williams (bench coach).

Regarding the public face-off, 'Tax-exempt some interest income?' (ET, Jan 1), I feel that the government is discriminating by providing better sops to investors in the securities market compared to those in fixed income securities.
In the securities market if you are a long-term investor what you pay is just STT of 0.2 per cent and zero tax. In case of fixed income securities, the entire income generated from interest becomes part of total income and then the same is taxed.

Cooperatives are committed to providing reliable power at the lowest cost to their consumer members and protecting the reliability and security of the bulk power system. Over the last several years, cooperatives have worked diligently with the North American Electric Reliability Corporation (NERC) and federal agencies to strengthen reliability standards — including a significant set of cybersecurity standards — to maintain and protect the reliability of the bulk power system.
NRECA is working with its member cooperatives who are required to comply with NERC's reliability and cybersecurity standards to develop and implement strategies and programs that will lead to a culture of compliance.
Where We Stand
- Cooperatives strongly support NERC's role as the delegated "Electric Reliability Organization" and the NERC standards development process which appropriately relies on industry expertise and consensus for the development of the most effective standards.
- NRECA believes that mandatory standards compliance and enforcement processes and actions must be consistent across all eight NERC Regional Entities.
- Mandatory reliability standards should improve reliability without causing unreasonable cost impacts or inappropriately affecting the operation of cooperative systems.

Interview with Hathor
Talk Show Host: Today on Good Day, Memphis, we have Hathor, goddess of love and beauty and many other things. She'll be telling us all about her latest endeavors and what styles of makeup and clothing all Egyptians should be wearing for the dry season. Hathor, welcome!
Hathor: Thank you for having me. Do you mind if I drink?
Host: Not at all.
Hathor: Good. It's Memphis beer.
Host: I'm all for supporting local industry. So Hathor, tell me: what have you been up to lately?
Hathor: Well, we just finished up the annual festival at my temple in Dendera.
Host: Tell me about that.
Hathor: It's a grand old time, when all of my followers drink a lot of alcohol in my honor.
Host: Why do they get drunk to celebrate a goddess?
Hathor: You see, getting drunk here isn't the same as just going to a bar. This kind of drunkenness honors me as goddess of intoxication and ecstasy. It all started a couple thousand years ago when my father, the sun god Ra, sent me to Earth to punish some stupid mortals. See, they were smarter than I thought. They got me drunk and I didn't kill them. Since then, we all celebrate the anniversary of my pacification toward mankind by drinking. A lot.
Host: I'm glad you're drinking, then. I wouldn't want the Eye of Ra to turn on me!
Hathor: Don't worry. I'm good now. [Burps]
Host: Tell us, Hathor, what do you think are the up-and-coming trends for this dry season? I hear the Nile is going to be extra fickle with its floods and there might not be so much water. Are we looking at a full-on drought that's requiring really light clothes?
Hathor: I think sticking to the usual garb would be all right. Linen, if you can find it, is a great fabric.
Host: And how's the family? What's everyone been up to?
Hathor: Not sure. You'd have to ask my son, Horus. Um, or my husband. It's really hard to tell. In fact, I'm worshipped as both Horus's mother and wife in so many different places that I can't even keep it straight.
Host: Is Horus a good son-husband?
Hathor: [rolls her eyes] He's the worst. He gets out of spending quality time together by turning into a hawk as soon as I suggest something like a stroll down the Nile bank. He doesn't respect me—he even called me a "cow"!
Host: But you're the goddess of cows, right? So is that really an insult?
Hathor: I guess not. Maybe. But I had just asked him if my hips looked big in this brand-new linen dress, so it sounds like that idiot just wanted to confuse me.
Host: Now, back to the latest styles. Hathor, what makeup are you loving at the moment?
Hathor: Currently, I'm wearing black kohl as eyeliner. Very chic and very Old Kingdom: kinda retro. The brand is Nile Paradise and the shade is Egyptian Night Sky.
Host: What about for hair?
Hathor: I'm coming out with my own brand of wigs, like all the court ladies are wearing. It's called "Hair by Hathor" and will be debuting in marketplaces across Egypt this fall. I'm really hoping it'll be a big seller. The one I'm wearing now is a model from my line. It's made of real human hair, so no one can tell you're not wearing your own locks.
Host: I know you're also a big-time dancer and musician. Any new tunes or moves?
Hathor: I don't dance as much these days, but I like encouraging my followers to dance at festivals. I've got some top-notch instruments that I use, like the sistrum, which is sort of like a rattle; and my priestesses shake a menat, which is a type of long necklace with beads.
Host: You're the goddess of so many things that it's hard to keep track. What are some of your favorite things to rule over?
Hathor: Besides music, drinking, and dancing? I'd have to say fate. I come in a lot of shapes and sizes, including the "seven Hathors," which are seven cows that figure out what each newborn child's destiny will be. It's a lot of fun assigning different things to each kid—whether he'll be a king or a soldier, who's to say? Oh, that's right, me. Or rather we: the seven of myself.
Host: Well, I can see we're almost out of time. Hathor, any parting words?
Hathor: Yes. Be sure to pick up "Hair by Hathor" in your local cosmetics stall, coming this autumn!
Host: Hathor, thanks so much for coming to visit us. I'll see you at your next festival.
Hathor: Thanks. I hope to see you then. Drunk, of course!
Host: Sure. Up next, what's in your water? The Nile goes under inspection.

Trey Songz, Essence Music Festival 2012: Singer Strips Down, Serves Up Sexy 'Dive In'
If there's one thing Trey Songz believes in, it's adhering to a formula. The R&B crooner has found his niche in creating songs for the bedroom, and on Friday night (July 6), the Atlantic Records artist performed his newest slow jam for the crowd at the Essence Music Festival in New Orleans.
The track, "Dive In," is the next single from his upcoming album, Chapter V. The highly suggestive lyrics encouraged a few screams from the women in attendance: "I'll just keep my head down… I'm 'bout to dive in, go under just for you."
It wasn't long before the singer shed his blazer in favor of a simple white tee and raw denims. He moved into some of his more innocuous material, including 2010's "Can't Be Friends" and this summer's "Heart Attack."
After blazing through his chart-climbing track "Sex Ain't Better Than Love," Trey teased the crowd: "You know what? Although that may be true, I got another song I wanna do." He tore through his career-changing smash hit "I Invented Sex" to the delight of his fans. By the middle of his set, Trey had taken off his tee and his undershirt. He again revisited his more unassuming singles: "Can't Help But Wait" and "I Need A Girl."
Gliding seamlessly between sweet and sexy for 30 minutes straight, Trey Songz proved once again that he can win on either side of the bedroom door.
