Whether you use it as a side salad with something cooked on the grill or pack it in a plastic container to take for lunch, this unique bean salad has all the flavors of summer (just in case you'd like to keep them around a bit longer!) And you can make the flavorful vinaigrette with frozen chopped basil, just in case it's not fresh basil season any more.
my favorite sun-dried tomatoes, drained them to get rid of the oil, then chopped them just a little.

AMHERST, Mass. (AP) — The new school year at the University of Massachusetts has started with a record-setting feast.
More than 3,000 traditional New England clambake dinners were served on the Amherst campus on Monday.
Chefs prepared more than 3,000 lobsters, 6,000 little neck clams, 3,000 steamers, more than 6,000 ears of corn and 1,500 pounds of potatoes for students and staff.
There was no previous record for largest New England clambake, but Guinness World Record officials had set a minimum bar at 1,500 meals in eight hours. UMass reached that mark in about an hour.
Ken Toong, executive director of auxiliary services, says most of the food was locally sourced, and all waste, including plates and flatware, will be composted.
The $70,000 cost of the clambake was covered entirely by donations and sponsorships.

Gigabyte F2A85XN-WIFI review -
The Embedded GPU
The GPU In The APU
Though we always felt that on the processor side, AMD might have forfeited a little bit too much. They compensate that with a very powerful graphics engine harbored inside the CPU. Let's realize one thing here, integrated GPUs (whether that is in the chipset or CPU) have always have been bad in terms of performance. Now we are not claiming that integrated solutions (especially in a CPU) will ever reach the level of a dedicated graphics card, but we do have to acknowledge that what AMD placed into Trinity & Richland is impressive.
We already spilled the beans a little but for the GPU part of the APU, things have changed quite a bit over time. Richland just like Trinity has a Radeon GPU with 384 shader cores. The distinct difference is that Llano had an architecture based on the Radeon 5000, Trinity makes use of Radeon 6000 architecture which you all know under the northern islands codenames. Also a tweaked video-encoder has been integrated, based on the latest Radeon 7000 and 8000 series. AMD calls the GPU embedded into the A10 6800 the HD 8670D and it runs at 844 MHz. Per chip series (A10 / A8 / A6) the GPU configuration will be a little different. We'll explain that later on. Also more system memory can be hogged, now 768MB.
So less shader cores but more performance, how is that possible you might wonder? Well AMD made the transition towards radeon 6000 architecure, and that's better known as the VLI4 architecture. Per core that means more efficiency, but also tesselation performance will have gone up a notch or two.
That 8670D GPUS makes the IGP in the Richland die a fully functional DirectX 11 GPU. To complement the multi-media experience, the UVD engine is harbored in Richland as well; it is actually UVD3, the latest revision used on the Radeon 8000 series and that means serious support for Full HD content playback with even 3D Blu-Ray capability. Quite important to know is that the new UVD engine also has an H.264 video encoder that you may compare with Intels Quick Sync.
The IGP will provide support for two monitors and all common connectors are supported including HDMI, DVI, DisplayPort and DSUB (VGA).
Mind you that not all APUs will have 384 cores. Depending on the SKU these will differ:
- Trinity A4 has 128 cores
- Trinity A6 has 192 cores
- Trinity A8 has 256 cores
- Trinity A10 has 384 cores
Oh and being a Radeon 6000/7000/8000 based IGP, yes... one may even drive multiple monitors thanks to Eyefinity.

[ED:- OXCGN"'s Second Look Review is aimed at re-capping a game that has been out for a while, but given some time for adequate play-through and the addition of other DLC to enhance the game. Come check out the Bioshock Second Look.]
Bioshock 2 is a great game that still doesn't manage to entirely crawl out from the shadow of its predecessor.
While it perfectly replicates the role-playing, superpower-fueled shooter gameplay that made the original game revolutionary, the story does not have the same M. Night Shyamalan narrative twist that made it genius.
Bioshock is one of the few game franchises where the setting is the star. The underwater city of Rapture is beautifully implausible, constructed in an imaginative art deco style reminiscent of the work of Hugh Ferriss, whose perspective drawings of New York buildings in the early 20th Century inspired legions of architects.
Ayn Rand would feel right at home in Rapture, a city founded on the principle that a man is entitled to the sweat of his brow and that the great should not be constrained by the small.
Its founder, Andrew Ryan, felt that government and religion-imposed morality impede achievement in art and science. The philosophy of utopia is a strong theme.
But that was before the fall. With unchecked scientific breakthroughs and exploitative capitalistic practices, the residents soon harnessed the power of a substance called Adam to "splice" their genes to give themselves super powers.
An arms race and power struggle followed. The survivors were mutated addicts, damned to wander the doomed hallways in search of their next fix.
It is in this world where the game takes place, nearly ten years after the civil war. And the signs of the struggle are written in the details of the leaking metropolis; scrawlings on the wall, audio diaries and pamphlets and advertisements.
The player takes the role of Subject Delta, the first "Big Daddy." Big Daddies are genetically conditioned humans in armored diving suits that protect the "Little Sisters" as they harvest Adam from dead bodies. You are on a quest to reunite with your ward, a grown up Little Sister who is the focus of an emerging cult.
Wielding a weapon in your right hand and supernatural "plasmid" powers in your left, Rapture is a gamer's playground.
Plasmid powers react with the environment, meaning you can shoot lightening bolts from your hands to electrocute multiple enemies standing in a pool of water, or freeze an enemy and smash him into a million pieces with your large drill.
You can even spray angry bees from your fingertips that seek out and swarm your attackers.
The weapons have an industrial feel which is furthered with MacGuyver-style upgrade attachments.
Every weapon has three unique ammo types with both offensive and defensive capabilities. Limits on the amount of ammo you can carry leave you constantly feeling vulnerable.
The new multiplayer mode takes players to the dawn of Rapture's downfall. Instead of following the single-player storyline, in multiplayer mode you play the part of a plasmid test subject taking part in the uprising that destroyed Rapture.
It is refreshing to see the city before barnacles conquered its intricate interiors.

Movement was minimal and the tone was serious, but anticipation for the week ahead was evident on the faces of the teenagers from as far south as Swainsboro, Ga., and as far west as Putnam County. They were clearly excited about the team-building skills they would learn and the survival missions they would complete at Camp Semaphore.
Some were already picking their events, taking bets on who could construct the strongest one-rope bridge, rappel a 90-foot tower the fastest and float in water using only a camouflage uniform the longest.
"You are going to be challenged individually and you are going to be challenged as teams," said Maj. Gen. LaWarren V. Patterson, the commanding officer of the U.S. Army Signal Center and Fort Gordon. "You're going to be up against some serious competition. Let's get that out of the way right now."
Retired Lt. Col. Thomas Murphy, the commander of Camp Semaphore, said cadets will get the full "military experience" during their time at camp, taking on obstacle courses covered in mud, sleeping in Fort Gordon barracks and eating the same Army chow local soldiers have "grown to love."
But even though the cadets will dive headfirst into the military world, Murphy estimates only 5 percent of the camp's graduating seniors will be commissioned as officers after high school or college. The modest projection comes even as the Army has pumped an additional $30,000 into ROTC scholarships and increased enrollment into the national program by 1,000 students since 2011.
The new measures are aimed to help recruiters – working in a depressed economy – meet lighter quotas
across all branches of the military.
Murphy said the intent of Camp Semaphore is to produce confident, focused and disciplined leaders.
Representatives at North Georgia College and Georgia Military College plan to talk to the cadets on the importance of school.
Ambs, a rising senior at Richmond Academy, plans to follow in the footsteps of his father and grandfather, trading in the rappel tower he loves to climb for Air Force wings.
"From the fellowship, to the thrill of the challenge, I love everything about camp," Ambs said. "It's so diverse. Each experience drives you to be a better person."
Forty years ago, Patterson joined the ROTC in Virginia. Three years later he graduated high school. Four years after that, he earned a college degree and was commissioned into the Army.
"It went by like lightning and when you look back, it is all going to be a flash to you," Patterson said. "Enjoy the moment. Enjoy the ROTC."

Product Details
Getting called Chief is only marginally better than being called Guy. Both imply a nauseating level of condescension, and given the choice most would rather be spit upon. However, if someone calls you Boss, you know you are doing something right. Having said that, the El Hefe, which translates to "The Boss" in Spanish, runs the scene. Featuring the NEW Carbon Slimeback, the bouncy feel and impulsive response is unlike any highback around. Paired with the high performance and lightweight Aluminum Infinity Chassis with adjustable heel cup, not only do you get a very lightweight binding,
but one that is designed to perform each day of the season regardless your choice of terrain. Our favorite feature is the natural feel provided by the Wedgie foot beds, a system that allows for a slight cant for more even power distribution.

Corporate Advocacy Program™
We had spotted a vehicle that seemed to be just what he wanted. My son and I took it for a test drive and were pleased with the car except that it pulled to the right. We returned to the dealership and started a discussion with a sales man about price. This process seemed to take more time than I expected and the sales people were very distracted with their holiday boating plans. A price was quoted and my son and I offered a bid, which amounted to about $200.00 less than the quote, pointing out that while test driving we noted that there was a pull to the right. The salesman (Todd) said he didn't think he could go any lower because of a recent price reduction but would consult with the used car sales manager.
A few minutes later a woman (dressed very casually) came to us with some comp. prices stating that the price of the car was competitive and the price quoted was the best she could do. I asked if we could see the safety inspection and the inspection sheet stated that there was a pull to the right. I pointed this out again to the sales manager and she stated that she didn't understand why that wouldn't have been corrected but would have it taken care of. I then asked if there was a carfax available for this car. She provided one for us and it showed that the car had 4 previous owners on a 2005 vehicle (this was in contrast with what a 3rd sales person had stated while passing by earlier). I pointed this out and again offered the same bid (approx $200.00 less than the quote). She then stated I can see that you would not be satisfied with this car no matter what I quoted to you. (getting late in the day on July 3rd and it seemed to my son and I that the holiday celebration had already started with our sales group) I asked the manager if there was any counter offer. She said "no my quote is the best I can do! So we left.... After the holiday weekend, I called the dealership asking if I could speak to the general manager. I was told that he was out of the offices at that time but was informed that he would be back later if I needed to talk to him. I said that
would be OK and asked if I could start the process of loan approval and was directed to a sales person, this sales person said that an on line form would need to be completed then the process could be started. After lunch time my wife and I came to the dealership and was able to speak with the general manager. I told him of my experience with the used car sales group and he said "that doesn't sound like my people" I inquired about the same car as before, he quoted me the same price. I asked if he could do any better, he looked at me and said "that's the price". I said OK and started to leave and he said "that was my price, what's your offer", I stated the same bid as before and he said he could do that, we shook hands and he directed me to salesman Todd Tressmer. Todd started the paper work and I pointed out the safety inspection and the pull to the right, he said he would get it right into the service manager and have it taken care of. Following the service work Todd told me that it was just a matter of changing some wheels around but it was OK now. Being skeptical I asked if I could dive it again and doing so found the pull gone. By this time it was getting late in the afternoon and the finance person wasn't able to finish the paper work on that day, but Todd said I could take the car after he had the cleaning crew prep it and he would bring the finished paper work to me at home the following day. Well the prep crew also had gone home so Todd pulled the dealer stickers from the windows and said That I could bring it back another time and he would have it detailed for me. So I took the car home and decided to check the tire pressures and found that the left front had 10 pounds of pressure and the right had 42 pounds (at this point it seemed to me that the right side pull had been corrected by changing tire pressures). Todd came to my house the following day with the finished papers, I told him what I had found with the tire pressures, he stated that doesn't sound right, a tire with 10 lbs. of pressure would be almost flat and he knows the service dept. wouldn't allow such a thing to happen but he would talk to the service manager". Later that day Todd called me saying he talked to the service manager and to satisfy this issue, when I bring the car in for the detailing they will put the car on the alignment machine while I'm there so there would be no further doubt about the pull issue. A few days later I attempted to contact Todd to arrange the service but he was out for the day. I spoke with a person in the service dept. and arranged for the detailing to be done and the check of the right pull. An appointment was made and my son and I brought the car back to the Tubbs Brothers dealership. They took the car in for the check, had it for a couple of hours then came to me with an estimate for brake repairs of $500.00 that would correct the pull problem. I asked about the alignment check that had been agreed upon. The hear service manager came out and said "I don't know about any agreement you had with Todd but we found the problem with the pull to the right and that's the repair cost and it's not covered!" I and my son went to the general managers office and attempted to explain the agreement that I had with Todd but he said "you told me a story about my sales people that I find hard to believe and now you tell me that my service dept. did this. I have never had these kinds of complaints before". Then he said "did you drive the car before taking it home". I said that I had. He stated that he had no other obligation for any other work! I said that I wasjust telling him what I had found with the tire pressures and he asked "do you think I'm calling you a liar? I responded "it seems like it".....He (the general manager) Blurted out "THEN WE'RE DONE HERE"..... On the way out I asked the service team about the detailing that had been scheduled and they said "oh we didn't have time you'll have to bring it back next week!" 8/6/2012Now Ive had the breaks checked out, finding no
problems with any of the parts that I was told would need to be replaced. But no one seems to care enough to respond!

RE: Case #9155922
Dear Ms. Appleton:
In answer to your letter dated 8/6/2012, I have reviewed Mr. xx complaint with all of the employees who were involved. I will address each point individually and then provide a summary.
Mr. xx states that the safety inspection sheet indicated, that there was a pull to the right. I have enclosed a copy of the inspection repair order. It does reference a pull to the right and indicates we aligned the vehicle at that time. Document is labeled A Mr. xx states that he and his wife returned to the dealership, spoke with xxx, our General Manager, and told him of my experience. In fact, he accused my employees of being drunk and insulting his son. That is a complete falsehood and my General Manager was right to defend our staff. xx indicated to me that Mr. xx was abusive and confrontational at this time. We did accept Mr. xx offer of $200 less than our asking price and we did have our service department check for a vehicle pull. xx our Service Manager took the vehicle for a ride and found no pull, only a slight drift to the right which is a normal condition due to road crown.
In an effort to reduce the drift, xx said that he added 8 lbs of air to each tire and crossed switched front tires (tires can cause drift and sometimes crossing them will change this). xx test drove again and found everything good. Customer drove vehicle at this time and said pulling problem was corrected. Ive attached xx statement labeledB. Mr. xx stated that he took the vehicle home and found that the left front tire had 10 pounds of pressure and the right had 42 pounds. This is very unusual since xx had just checked pressures and we found no air leaks in the tire. Furthermore, a tire with 10 lbs of pressure would be nearly flat and most likely would overheat and become ruined within a few miles of driving. More telling is that Mr. xx accused us of intentionally altering the tire pressures to correct his complaint. Not only would this be unethical, it would also expose us to liability should a tire fail and cause an accident.
On July 20, Mr. xx returned and indicated (or his son indicated) the vehicle pulls right while braking. Our technician found that the left front brake caliper was sticking intermittently and recommended replacing the sticking caliper as well as rotors and brake pads. When informed of this, Mr. xx denied that the vehicle pulled on braking and again became confrontational and abusive to my service personnel. He then walked into my General Managers office, became abusive with him and stormed out. Mr. xx was scheduled to return the vehicle the following Monday to complete the detail and put the vehicle back on our alignment rack with Mr. xx present so that he could personally see the specifications. Mr. xx did not return for his scheduled appointment.
Attached are copies of all the inspections and repair orders related to Mr. xx vehicle as well as copies of the sales documents. Upon review, we know that the vehicle has a brake caliper that sticks intermittently. Its possible that this began sometime between our original safety inspection and the sale of the vehicle, however, since Mr. xx never indicated a pull on braking until 2 weeks after he took delivery, its just as possible that it occurred after the purchase. (A pull on braking is a completely different complaint than a pull while driving) Additionally, our original safety inspection documents dont indicate any brake problems and in fact show 70% brake lining remaining (document C).
What is most apparent is that Mr. xx is his own worst enemy. He has been confrontational, accusatory and abusive since he first entered my dealership. He has managed to insult every person he has come in contact with. This attitude prevents resolution to any problem because Mr. xx cant control his temper long enough to work out satisfactory solution. Typically we would make, at minimum, some type of goodwill adjustment or repair in a case like this. Unfortunately,
Mr. xx's behavior prevented this conversation from ever taking place. Despite this, I am willing to participate in the repair cost of the brakes. Our original estimate was $444 and I am willing to split that cost with Mr. xx. That being the case, this offer is only good if Mr. xx can control himself and behave in a civilized manner. Should he become abusive with any of my personnel I will retract my offer and Mr. xx will be asked to seek automotive services from another source.
Please feel free to present this offer to Mr. xx. If Mr. xx would like to pursue this solution, please have him speak with me directly. If you would like to discuss this matter further you can reach me on my direct line, 810-648-3383.

I went a couple days ago to get my lips plumped up with Juvederm. The MD applied a topical anesthetic and then proceded to give a local one like you get in your gums at the dentist. It was so painful that I fainted. I didn't even get to have my lips done. I'm too scared to go back and finish the procedure but I paid a lot of money. Is there any way this can be completed with out me having to pass out from the pain? Should lip injections hurt this bad?
Is Juvederm for Lips Painful?
Doctor Answers 42
Anesthesia with Lip Augmentation: Juvederm, Restylane. Towards painless lip augmentation
Lip Augmentation with facial fillers such as Juvederm and Restylane is a very common procedure. Although pain tolerance between patients varies considerably, there are many topical, injection technique related, and infiltrative anesthetic treatments that can minimize pain.
A reasonable approach to anesthesia for lip augmentation should focus on the following techniques:
- Local anesthetic block of the infraorbital nerve and mental nerves
- Topical anesthesia of the inner lip mucosa and the outer lip skin
- Bolus injections of lidocaine into the upper sulcus and lower sulcus to reduce any ancillary nerve fibers
- Use of a smaller needle.
If you are still having pain after the first injection, have your practitioner apply more topical anesthetic and injection. Be aware that anesthetics have toxic doses and only an experienced medical physician should be injecting these medicines.
Juvederm placed in the lips can be painful if no local...
Juvederm placed in the lips can be painful if no local or topical is used. Some of my patients take it "cold" - no anesthetics. Most take at least a topical.
For the more sensitive patients, I will often place a topical on the skin for 30 minutes, and add a viscous lidocaine solution to be placed along the gum line inside the mouth for about 5-10 minutes prior to performing nerve blocks. This makes the lip completely anesthetic and very easy for the patient.
I am sure you were just very nervous, and that is why you fainted. My patients often comment on how easy the procedure went.
Have your doctor mix Lidocaine with Juvederm
That must have been really painful to faint like that.
Make sure the physician leaves the topical anesthetic on 30-40 minutes. Perhaps, after your experience, the doctor has found another pharmacy to mix up his anesthetic formulation. We have found our topical to be wonderful, after trying two others (one including Pliaglis).
I find Morita's Hurricaine sticks to be helpful under the lip and in the area for the dental block. Then the dental block should be performed knocking out the infraorbital and mental nerves.
Agree with the adding Lidocaine to the filler helps and slow injection techniques.
Not that I agree with this but some physicians, prefer not to do a dental block. They feel that the dental block can distort the lips.
Using the above measures should make lip augmentation much less of a harrowing event for you.

No need to have any pain
Juvederm to the lips are painful if you do not get adequate anesthesia.
I usually do nerve block (like the dentists use) to numb the lips. Once the lip is completely numb, I do the injection.
Next time, ask for nerve block.
Painful Lip Injections

Juvéderm injections are now more bearable than ever

Juvederm for lips
Thats sounds like a very difficult experience for you.
Its hard to know why you fainted. That may not be the actual pain, but more the thought of, or the actual viewing of the needle.
There are many good options for pain control during lip injections. Topical anaesthetic is great and so is ice. These can be used together and don't involve any needles. You may wish to try this and also try not to look at the needle on the syrige when your Doctor is working on your lips.
Pain with lips injections
Juvederm Injections: Pain Tolerance Varies
The lips have a high density of sensory nerves and for this reason are very sensitive to pain. Pain thresholds vary from patient to patient for a variety of reasons including anxiety. In some patients this procedure can be performed without anesthesia; while in others this would never be a consideration. Based on your history, quality anesthesia was never really attained and as a result the procedure was discontinued.
Clearly alternate strategies are necessary to make this a comfortable experience. Multiple options are available for anesthesia under these circumstances. These include topical agents, injectable agents and drugs that address anxiety. In many cases slowing down the process and using these tools in combination can make this a more comfortable experience.
Topical anesthetics are relatively easy to use. These agents are simply spread over the area before the procedure. They take approximately 10 to 15 minutes to work and are moderately effective. The administration of these agents is pain free, but doesn't totally alleviate pain from the injection of dermal fillers. They can also be used intra orally prior to intraoral anesthetic injections.
When using injectable fillers nerve blocks with local anesthetics are extremely effective. This procedure is performed by infiltrating local anesthetic intra-orally in the area of the infra orbital and mental nerves. This effectively provides anesthesia of the upper and lower lips and surrounding areas. This approach provides excellent anesthesia which is almost instantaneous.
Treating anxiety with Valium is also helpful when these situations arise. Using topical anesthetics prior to injections and giving these drugs adequate time to work is important as well. When injecting local anesthetics, it's important to inject slowly to avoid unnecessary pain. When these steps are taken treatment with injectable fillers can be a much more comfortable experience for patients.
Discomfort from Juvederm injected into lips.
That being said, you should know that you can still have lip injections! The most important aspect is managing your expectations and doing it in a controlled setting. I'd recommend going to someone who will take their time with you and explain the procedure calmly. In the past, a lot of doctors used a "Dental Block" but now, we typically use numbing cream and let it sit on your lips for a good 30 minutes or so. Also, we can use Juvederm that has lidocaine in it, so it isn't as uncomfortable going in, and it is numb afterwards.
For people that pass out easily, it will help if you are in a relaxed setting and in a reclined chair. It might be helpful to drink some orange juice before hand, so you are not low on sugar. Also, I find that instructing patients to take long - slow - deep breaths in and out helps tremendously.
Good Luck!

How We Help

There have been quite a few independent and big studio films which featured story lines about phone sex operators, from comedies to dramas, from thrillers to horror films. One intriguing indie film was Spike Lee's "Girl 6" (1996) which explored the world of a black phone sex operator working in a call center in New York City. The call center featured girls esconced in small numbered booths hence Girl 6 sat in booth 6 for her shift. Girl 6 fell into being a PSO while pursuing her dreams of becoming an actress. She primarily played a white Barbie type and adopted a white girl's look, manner of talking and attitude. Spike Lee expertly explored the theme of "black girl playing white girl" racism. At that time white girls populated the world of phone sex. Sexy white women were the objects of desire to the white men calling phonesex lines. The overtone that white men did not find black women sexually desirable as their fantasy was very compelling.
However, this racist attitude has changed in the past two decades. Black women are now very popular as phone sex operators without having to play white girls. They can just play themselves on phone chat mega sites like Niteflirt, Talk to Me and My Phone Site along with featuring themselves on their own private websites. Reality has overtaken fantasy in many aspects of the phone biz. The original white girl porn star phone sex patina that was popular in the 90's has been outshined.

Bedrest Mommies come chat here! We want to hear all the ups & downs, updates & news each week.
Andi- So glad you had a visitor! What an inspiration too.
Anna- When I'm at home I keep snacks next to the couch. I have a bunch to fit various cravings. My doctor lets me get up to microwave my lunch as long as it's already in a container ready to go. He just said to combine it with a bathroom trip, so I'm not getting up more.
Ali- 26 weeks is great! You do have a big baby girl. Hope she hits the 2lb mark.
Janie- You'll be 30 before you know it! Check redenvelope.com. They have the coolest gifts.
Survived 9 weeks of bedrest
Zachary Thomas born 3/30/09 at 31 weeks 6 days
Hi bedrest mommies,
I am new to the board and the club and wanted to say hi. I have been on bedrest for 2 weeks since 28 weeks (so I am 30 weeks today!) and yesterday I finally came to terms with the fact I will be on bed rest for a while. My cervix softened and effaced 2 weeks ago and have an irritable uterus on top of this (which does not describe it truthfully... more like extremely annoyed and angry uterus) so that is making things interesting.
It is so nice to that there are other mommies out there that know what I am going through... the tears, the having to rely on people, the obsessive counting of contractions, the joy of feeling a boot to your bladder as you know your babe is still okay, the fights with your husband, the guilt, inability to look after your other kids, and the aching body!
So hello to all and I am sure I will be seeing you online often!
Proud mumma to: Rebecca 2/15/07 and Alexander born�5/24/09 after 9 weeks of bedrest.
Welcome to the group Aussiemumma!
Anna - 6 months of Bedrest with Cerclage, IC..17p shots..mom to a 38weeker! 5 & 7 year old healthy preemies..born at 32 and 34 weeks!
Ali- congrats on 26 weeks. When do they check her weight again? I hope you get to the 2 lb mark.
Kelly- 30 weeks feels great doesn't it? It seemed like after 30 wks time just moved a lot faster.
Anna- I've been eating some of the microwave meals, like Kelly I just combine it with a bathroom trip. Also if we have left overs my DH will portion them into single serve packages and freeze them for me. Also I've redisovered how much I love lunchables too. Other than that I'm probaly not much help since I have GD and have to watch my carbs.
AFM- I slept in until 10 this morning. I couldn't believe it. I haven't slept that late in years. It felt great though. My heartburn is out of control. I'm taking Zantac, eating almonds and tums, nothing works except sitting straight up which isn't possible. It's supposed to be 70+ degrees today so I have all the windows open trying to enjoy the weather as best I can.
Happy St. Patricks Day to everyone.
Kelly-Congrats on 30 weeks! I told the graduates they need to drink some green beer for us. LOL!
Anna-I am lucky in a way. DH is home with me the majority of the time (except when he travels and my parents or a babysitter comes to help) so he brings me all my meals in snacks....which is nice since I have GD and have to eat 6 times a day. The only bad part is the reason he is home is because his business is SUPER slow right now so financially it's not good at all. I figure there is a reason for everything. We will eventually get on our feet financially and it is definitely easier on me having him here at home.
Ali-I started out on bedrest at 5 1/2 weeks and am now 3 weeks from delivering. It may seem like a long way off but the farther along you get, the more quickly it seems to go. 28 weeks was a HUGE turning point for me and they weeks just seem to be flying by now. Hang in there! My little guy has always been on the small side and he was 2 lbs 9 oz at 32 1/2 weeks so hopefully your little girl will be 2 lbs or more by Friday.
Janie-I am so worried at this point I am going to ignore the contractions when I shouldn't. I've been having them off and on since 17 weeks and every time I've been checked they aren't really doing much (although I did have shortening earlier on which they now are calling effacement.) I keep having this re-occurring dream that I ignore the contractions too long and end up delivering the baby in the car. Luckily my placenta is no longer in the way but still....with as complicated as my delivery is going to be, I'm thinking I should probably make it to the hospital. LOL! I also do smoothies a lot (although mine don't sound quite as nutritious as yours) because they help with the constipation from bedrest. Unfortunately I can't do them as often now because they spike my sugars. :-(
Welcome to the group PJ! I think you summed up bedrest pretty much perfectly. LOL! The women here are wonderful. I would probably lose what little mind I have left without them!
Angie-Sorry about the heartburn but I'm envious of the sleep! Hope you get to enjoy a bit of the warm weather today!
Happy St. Patty's Day Everyone!
Andi - Mom to DS 4/03, ^DS^ 11/09/05-11/12/05, 6 angel babies, DS 4/09, and surprise DD 1/11.
Angie- I tried Nexium for a few days. It helped with the reflux but gave me a really bad headache. It was also expensive. It might be worth a try if you are dying though. I've found that eating small meals helps. I eat breakfast in 2 shifts, and only eat 1/2 my dinner, then the rest a couple of hours later. It seems to help to never be hungry or stuffed. Have you tried that?
PJ- Welcome to the group! Congrats on 30 weeks! My due date is the day after yours! Your list is right on. I never imagined how sore bedrest could make you.
AFM- I am totally avoiding a paper I should be writing. Seems to be a new trend... It cracks me up because I'm just laying here with nothing to do. Make me get to work! I'm excited my mom is coming in town from NJ tomorrow. She'll be here until Monday. I'm going to get her to paint my toes! :)
Hope everyone has a great day!
Survived 9 weeks of bedrest
Zachary Thomas born 3/30/09 at 31 weeks 6 days
PJ - welcome to the group! I am in a very similar situation it sounds... a very hyperactive uterus with slight cervix effacement. I can't figure out what causes the contractions and what doesn't. I also thought this was a flukey deal but have over the past week come to terms with the fact that I am likely down for the count.
Angie - 10am is incredible. I slept until almost 8am yesterday morning and about fell out of the bed I was so shocked. But it was WONDERFUL and I'm not complaining. Sorry about the heartburn - I have been fairly lucky with that so far (knock on wood!) but I'm sure it must be awful, dealing with that discomfort on top of everything else.
Ali - I bet your little baby will get there. I've been amazed at how quickly our little guy has been growing of late. I get the next update Thursday and am rooting for 3 lbs, or a 6 oz gain from 2+ weeks ago. My peri told me they gain approx 1/4 lb/week right now.
Andi are you using a monitor? Sometimes I feel like I should but then if nothing is happening to the ol' cervix then I guess not. Trying not to obsess about the contractions is truly a challenge.
Another gorgeous day here in Big D. It almost makes it harder to be inside!!
Happy St Paddy's Day all
Welcome to the group PJ. This group is great for information and for support.
I just came back from the Peri, and it was a mixed appointment. She was able to identify the pain. She said that as my organs are pushed up, and my bowels especially, the are pushing against some scar tissue left from my gall bladder removal. At least that explains that.
That was the end of my good news. My cervix is down to 2.2 without pressure, and 1.9 with pressure. There is also a significant amount of funneling without any pressure. She has put me on Indocin to help reduce the contractions, and has removed the small privileges that I had. She will allow me pick up my son daily as long as I take the meds 30 minutes before leaving. Any other movement is prohibited. She also said that if I get any other migraines, I will have to stop the 17P shots for good.
My Mom is leaving on Thursday, and I'm not sure what I'm going to do without her. She thinks that I should leave my son with his other grandma during the week when I really don't have any help. After his regression from my hospital stay, I just don't think I can do it. He has become so clingy, and will only sleep in our bed. He worries every time I leave the room. I feel so lost right now.
Felicia-I am so sorry you didn't get better news. Does your son's other other grandma live locally? Could she come to you so that your son could be home with you but you would have help? I know finances are not the easiest when it comes to bedrest, but I know at one point when DH was traveling a lot, I had to break down and hire a babysitter to come in the mornings to help DS get ready for school and drive him to school. Then she would pack up a cooler of things for me for the day. Then she would pick DS up from school, make dinner, and help until DS was in bed. I am lucky in a way that I live in a college town because I always had several options for babysitting. My DS has had some less than desirable behaviors since I have been on bedrest mode. I do the best I can and just figure we are all kind of in survival mode at the moment.
Hang in there and hope you are able to figure something out!
Andi - Mom to DS 4/03, ^DS^ 11/09/05-11/12/05, 6 angel babies, DS 4/09, and surprise DD 1/11.
Hello other bedresters...
I am new to bedrest since Friday (3/13). I am 26 weeks now. On Friday they saw a funneling cervix & a "dynamic cervix" on the ultrasound monitor and told me I'd need to be on bedrest. They also picked up at the time that I was having contractions, although I didn't even realize they were contractions (just thought baby was rolling over in my tummy!). They put me in the hospital for about 30 hours, but after some shots to stop the contractions (not the magnesium, the one they try first....), they sent me home on bed rest (I can get up to go to the bathroom and such) and gave me some anticontraction pills to take twice a day. I had the FFN test and it came back negative, which was great news, but nobody seemed to be able to explain to me why I would still need to be on bed rest even with the negative test...but that was still the consensus! They gave me the steroid shots for the baby on Friday and Saturday, so I am glad to have those in me and be 48 hours past their injections...now I just need to sit tight for 14 more weeks (or at least 9 or 10...)...
I am so impressed reading this board about how so many of you have been on bedrest for so long. You all seem to be handling it so well! The doctors are so calm when they tell you that you'll be on bedrest, but it really is a major change in your life!
I am so glad to have found this board. I just moved from Chicago to Tucson in November so I haven't been here too long and while I have met some nice people, I don't have any family or old friends here, so it is nice to find people going through a similar thing to me.
Hope to be talking to you all soon!

I have been playing Puzzle Quest pretty steadily since downloading it this weekend. Thankfully I have had two days off from work this week. I am sure that I have put about 10 hours into the game so far. I downloaded it on Friday, after I got home from work. I played a few missions into the game and just as I was bringing down a boss I had to leave.
I met up with a friend of mine on Saturday, so I was not able to play the game at all. I got home around 11 o'clock at night. One of the first things that I did was turn on my XBox and start playing for a few hours.
I love the RPG aspects of the game. In a normal puzzle game (read: bejeweled), I would have lost interest long ago. I would have geeked out for a few hours the first day and might have come back to the game again after a few days or weeks, but the story and the leveling structure of the game have me turning on my XBox every few hours.
The game is very satisfying. I will turn on my XBox and play for a few rounds or hours whichever comes first, then I will get a wild hair up my ass, and turn the game off. I have had enough. It is like eating. If you are compulsive you will continue to eat and eat, until you have gorged yourself, but most people know when they have had enough food. This game is like that, I know when I have played enough of the game for one session.
The story is nothing too artistic or compelling, but it is nice and unobtrusive enough to keep me interested, when it does show up.
I have only just started to train my mounts and research spells, but when I did finally start to take some time and look at those things I could see the difference in the gameplay. Mainly, because there are some random enimies on the roads that I can now ignore. I am glad that I found this part out, because that was beginning to become the worst part about this game.
I am starting to get the itch again to turn on my XBox and play, but I have to keep myself from doing that because I have so many other things that I could be doing right now. I am going to try and convince myself to find another thing to do, but before this night is over I am sure that I will scratch my itch.

How did I ever cope without my mobile?
A report was published last week which presented some truly shocking statistics about our dependence on technology. It seems adult internet users in the UK currently spend an average of 25 hours per week online. Imagine that - more than a whole day surfing the net which, when you add it all up makes approximately 55 days out of every year.

Aside from some CSS elements I'm tweaking, it's a great plugin especially for my needs. The one issue I have is the gallery link doesn't take the User to the gallery. It takes them to linked page, which for me is where my albums lists most of my galleries.
Is there a setting I need to change to get it to go to the gallery itself? I'm digging in the code a little but can't figure it out.

App Review - Rollover
By admin
I love old school pinball games. There's just something about these vintage games that brings you back to your youth-even if you are way too young to remember these (and I'm including myself in those ranks).
Rollover contains that iconic bit of the freestanding gaming, the eternally beloved shiny metal ball. Like any good game though, Rollover takes the best of what we loved before and adapts it to the current technology-the iPhone. The objective of rollover is to get past blocks and other objects while keeping the ball on the board and avoiding those pesky holes. All right, so this part isn't new, but you get the idea.

The road to browserchoice.eu
We all know about the overwhelming supremacy of proprietary software in the desktop market. But not everybody knows that some steps have been taken to try to limit it, in favour of a more fair competition among vendors, and between the proprietary and free software worlds. A key player in assuring that the markets are not artificially biased is the European Commission for Competition.

Make sure you avoid using Splenda or aspartame as bot are toxic, aspartame promotes diabetes, Splenda can be harmful to kidneys which isn't good for people with diabetes. Don't use the truvia type products either because they cause serious stomach and intestinal problems.

New Zealand Police said Ryder, 28, had been rushed to Christchurch Hospital after suffering the injuries early on Thursday morning and remained there in a critical condition.
"It appears that Jesse has been the victim of a serious assault and suffered head injuries as a result," Detective Senior Sergeant Brian Archer told a nationally televised news conference.
"Jesse was taken to hospital where he remains in intensive care in a critical condition in an induced coma after suffering multiple injuries."
Ryder reportedly suffered a fractured skull and a collapsed lung, though it is not yet known if the injuries are life-threatening.
Ryder, who had been drinking at the bar with team-mates from Wellington, had been involved in two incidents, the first outside a bar with three other people.
Two of the three then followed him across the road to a nearby fast food restaurant, where one of them apparently assaulted the cricketer.
Local media reports have stated that Ryder was hit from behind, though the police did not confirm this.
Police are examining closed-circuit video footage, and "at least 10 or more witnesses" apparently saw the attack, according to Archer.
"At this stage we have not identified the people involved in the incident but are following positive lines of inquiry," he added.
"We are asking for witnesses to come forward and to speak to us about it."
Ryder, one of the most gifted batsmen in New Zealand, was in Christchurch playing for Wellington against Canterbury in the semi-final of the domestic one-day competition on Wednesday.
He had been in a self-imposed exile from international cricket after a series of alcohol-related incidents, however.
Despite having publicly sworn off alcohol, Ryder had begun drinking again in recent weeks, New Zealand Cricket Players' Association chief executive Heath Mills said.
"We have been dealing with Jesse for 10 years and there have been numerous issues documented in that time," Mills said.
"Jesse has been fighting some demons over the last few years and he has struggled with them. It will be an ongoing struggle for him but we are doing all that we can to help him.
"It shouldn't be a surprise in the future if we have to deal with isolated issues."
In 2008, Ryder needed stitches in his hand after he punched a window in a Christchurch bar, an injury that kept him out of the game for several months.
He has also been in trouble for turning up to training still affected after a heavy drinking session and was reprimanded by governing body New Zealand Cricket last year after he and fellow New Zealand international Doug Bracewell were involved in a verbal altercation with bar patrons in Napier.
Following the Napier incident, Ryder voluntarily stood down from international selection to address his issues with alcohol.
"There are some alcohol protocols around the (Wellington) team but my understanding was that those protocols were being met so from that point of view the organisation does not have any direct concerns," Wellington chief executive Peter Clinton said.
"Our primary focus is his welfare. We remain very concerned and hope that he will recover."
Archer said he did not think that alcohol was a "contributing factor" in the altercation on Thursday.
Ryder had been expected to travel to India for the lucrative Twenty20 tournament with the Delhi Daredevils on Friday.
He was not expected to return to international cricket until New Zealand's tour of England in May-June, following their 0-0 draw in the recently completed home series.
An aggressive batsman with a superb eye and delicate touch, Ryder has made 1,269 runs in 18 Tests at an average of 40.93 with a highest score of 201 and 1,100 runs in 39 one-day internationals at 34.37.

Rotary International's innovative campaign to develop the World's Biggest Commercial to raise public awareness about polio eradication has struck a chord with the Pharmaceutical Research and Manufacturers of America (PhRMA).
To help spur participation in the commercial, the largest pharmaceutical trade group in the United States has donated $50,000 to Rotary's PolioPlus program – enough to provide oral vaccine to protect more than 83,000 children against this paralyzing disease.
Participants in the World's Biggest Commercial simply upload photos of themselves making the "this close" gesture with their fingers – as in, "We are this close to ending polio" – to the ever-expanding promotional spot at Rotary's End Polio Now website. In doing so, they'll rub "virtual shoulders" with such celebrities and notables as Bill Gates, Archbishop Desmond Tutu, Jane Goodall, Amanda Peet, Jack Nicklaus, Jackie Chan, PSY and other high-profile Rotary Ambassadors for Polio Eradication.
Since launching the campaign on World Polio Day (Oct. 24, 2012), more than 4,500 people in over 116 countries have joined the online initiative by adding their names and photos to the World's Biggest Commercial. Beginning February 1, highlights from the "The World's Biggest Commercial" will air in Times Square, one of the world's busiest locations.
"Rotary International's effort to end polio is seen as one of the world's greatest public health advances," said John Castellani, President and CEO of PhRMA. "PhRMA and its members are pleased to have played a part in supporting Rotary in the effort to eradicate polio."
Castellani said he also encourages PhRMA employees and PhRMA member companies to participate in the World's Biggest Commercial.
In addition to helping Rotary set a new Guinness World Record, every person who joins the commercial can choose to add their name to a petition urging the world's governments to provide the $5.5 billion needed to finish the job and end polio forever.
Rotary launched PolioPlus in 1985, and in 1988 became a spearheading partner in the Global Polio Eradication Initiative, now led by Rotary, the World Health Organization, UNICEF, the U.S. Centers for disease Control and Prevention and the Bill & Melinda Gates Foundation. Since then, more than 2.5 billion children have received the oral polio vaccine, and the incidence of polio has plummeted by more than 99 percent. Fewer than 300 cases were reported worldwide in 2012, down from 350,000 annually in the 1980s. Today, polio remains endemic to only three countries: Nigeria, Afghanistan and Pakistan. However, experts warn that if the eradication initiative falls short, polio could rebound rapidly, affecting more than 200,000 children every year.

Beatiful colours Voted
Very nice!
re this colors really natural or a little bit photoshoped?
Thank you, "picsonthemove". Actually, the photo has not been "Photo-shopped". I have several filters that I rely on and, more than likely, much too often. I am constantly using neutral density filters and polarizers to increase contrast, cut haze and separate and intensify colors. I am also finding that the appearance of my photos is often quite different on Panoramio than they appear when viewing in other programs - In Panoramio, many of my photos appear darker and blue skies occasionally have a bit of an odd color cast to them that I really don't understand nor can explain. Anyway, Thank you for the vote! Ciao!
Great Photo!!! The mountains look as if they corrode. I Vote for You.
Beautiful shot P.J. Wonderful fall colours, green forest and Red Mountain. Gold Star for this one. Greetings from France. Yves
What colours! Great shot, and congratulate for your gallery. Greetings from Hungary, Pali
Gorgeous. One of the most beautiful, scenic roads anywhere. God's got one helluva pallet.
Nice shot, but too much photoshop to be realistic
Les McKee: The only adjustments to this photo were an increase in contrast and a decrease in brightness. The colours were enhanced by the use of nuetral density filters and a polarizer. Unfortunately, one of the drawbacks of the digital camera I was using at the time was that the "vivid colour" feature often over-amplified the reds, yellows and magenta's in my photos.

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

Definition of Debussy, Claude in English:
Debussy, Claude
(1862–1918), French composer and critic; full name Achille Claude Debussy. Debussy carried the ideas of impressionist art and symbolist poetry into music, using melodies based on the whole-tone scale and delicate harmonies exploiting overtones. Notable works: Prélude à l'après-midi d'un faune (1894).
