Sabres' rookies set to take a another big step
Briere remains frustrated by abdominal injury
'Briere traveled with the team to Toronto on Wednesday night, and today he'll go to Montreal to meet again with Dr. David Mulder, the Canadiens' head physician and medical director of the McGill Sports Medicine Centre. Briere and Dumont met with him earlier this month, when Mulder recommended sports hernia surgery for Dumont and rest for Briere. Rest and an anti-inflammatory injection haven't helped, so Briere is going back for a re-evaluation that may include a recommendation for surgery.'

Q&A with Marek Zagrapan
'Have you been in contact with Buffalo since the being drafted? What parts of your game are they hoping to see you improve? MZ: They have been in contact with my agent, but when we spoke at training camp in Buffalo they wanted me to continue to improve my skating. I like to play an offensive style and I think that things will be very good for us in the future.'
These Sabres are sharp
'"Since we last saw them they've been the hottest team in the league," Leafs coach Pat Quinn said . "They have good speed and with that quickness, they're playing a very assertive checking style."'

Sabres rally as confidence remains high
'It's the sixth time this season Buffalo won when trailing after two periods, a number that would have seemed outrageous in the old clutch-and-grab NHL. Comebacks are so common now, players and coach don't merely think they'll rally, they know they'll have a resurgence. "It's a different frame of mind and it's a different game," Sabres defenseman Brian Campbell said. "Now you're able to come back and make plays. … We know we can win these games."'
Special Sabres Autograph Session Announced
'The Buffalo Sabres will hold an autograph session following the Panthers game on Sunday. It will start approximately 30 minutes following the end of the game and run for up to one hour. Sabres players will be seated at tables located throughout the 100, 200 and 300 levels of HSBC Arena. There will be a limit of one autograph per person, per player.'
Sabres on surprising surge
'"We expected to be a good team, but nobody expects something like this," Ruff said. "We're almost at the point where we don't even want to talk about it."'
Latest win is worth the wait
'"We're kind of fearless in some ways. We just find a way to win," said Sabres co-captain Chris Drury, who had a goal and two assists.'

As a result of a desire to provide school age children an understanding of natural resource stewardship, the Division of Reclamation has annually sponsored an Earth Day Celebration since 1995. Each year, the fifth grade from a region school has traveled to a pre-1977 abandoned coal mine that has either been reclaimed or is in the process of being reclaimed. Land restoration conducted by the Division of Reclamation's Abandoned Mined Lands Program is highlighted.
The Division of Reclamation and Earth Day partners show the children the importance of mining along with the wise management of our natural resources. Conducted with care and proper planning, it is possible for both to be achieved successfully. Over the years, the day-long program has included presentations on cultural and historic resources, tree planting, aquatic education, watershed protection, mammals and birds of Indiana, recycling, and water quality.
Events such as this are part of the Division of Reclamation's ongoing education initiative. The Division believes this is a wonderful opportunity for local children to obtain hands-on experience with the environmental restoration of their community. If a school or local organization would like more information, contact Ms. Colleen Baughman, DOR Education Coordinator, at 1-800-772-6463 or (812) 665-2207.

ECO-STRUCTURE recently caught up with Hua Guodong, project architect for Y Container, the entry from Shanghai's University of Tongji for the U.S. Department of Energy's 2011 Solar Decathlon.
How is your solar paneling unique?
The cutting-edge technology we used in our house includes a hot water system and an air-conditioning system. We use a thermal collector on the rooftop to generate domestic hot water and a thermal radiation floor system. The small water tubes under the floor take responsibility as a great compensation and electricity saving solution to the air-condition system.
What other sustainable features have you incorporated into your design?
Recycled containers and a specially designed series of features and technology to adapt to this house—this is the most sustainable feature we have.
What was the inspiration of your design, and does it display any regional influences?
The Y shape originated from the image of a plant bud. Shanghai, as an important shipping terminal for all of Asia, has an abundance of wasted containers, so the regional influence is very obvious. When we tried to find a sustainable solution for our solar house, we accidentally found that the best approach was always with these containers, which we've gotten familiar with.
How has the new affordability criteria affected the design of your house?
We use recycled containers to offset the expense of solar technology and high–performance insulation, and controlled the price to lower than $250,000. The price of six recycled containers is only $6,000, so the main structure and the water-proof system are really cheap.
What will happen to the house after the Solar Decathlon?
It will be reconstructed in a permanent exhibition area in our campus for exhibition and education.

Healing Chöd is an ancient Buddhist ritual known for its power to heal physical, emotional, and mental illness and suffering. There are no instructions to follow or techniques to learn. One simply lies down, rests, and receives healing. Healing Chöd is suitable for everyone, including those with chronic and mild illnesses. Healing Chöd rituals consist of music, prayers, and mantras in the sacred sounds of Sanskrit and Tibetan, transformative mudras and offerings, and meditation to cut through the destructive emotions and repel negative energies and obstacles.
Dakini's Heart-Essence Chöd, led by Acharya Lama Migmar Tseten, is based on the female Buddha Vajrayogini. It originates with the tenth-century Indian yogi and mystic Mahasiddha Naropa. This healing tradition was passed down to Lama Migmar's guru, the great master Chogye Trichen Rinpoche, renowned worldwide as a powerful healer. Chogye Trichen Rinpoche was also His Holiness the Dalai Lama's guru.
Lama Migmar Tseten was born in Tibet in 1956. In 1980, he received the Acharya degree from the Tibetan Institute at Varanasi where was recognized for academic achievement by His Holiness the Dalai Lama. In addition to his role as Buddhist chaplain at Harvard University and director of the Sakya Institute of Buddhist Studies in Cambridge, Massachusetts, Lama Migmar has also served as the head of the Sakya Main Monastery at Puruwala, India, Sakya Center at Rajpur, India, and he directs the Sakya Retreat Center in Barre, Massachusetts. http://www.lamamigmar.com

UPDATE: Winterboard was updated again yesterday with an included "White Icon Labels" package, so this post is mostly unnecessary now. Original post follows for archive:
SOLUTION 1 (try this first - simple, but might create problems with your theme)
Open Winterboard, and set 'Summerboard mode' to OFF. Respring. This will fix your icon labels, but it might make some elements of your theme go away. Try this one first, and if everything looks good, stop here.
If anything is wrong with your theme after doing this, switch 'summerboard mode' back to ON, respring again, and proceed to Solution 2....
SOLUTION 2 (it works - but labels might not look quite how you want)
Download a winterboard theme in cydia called "white labels." In Winterboard, under 'Themes,' just select both 'White Labels' AND the theme of your choice. Respring. If you're happy with this look, stop here. For what's, in my opinion, closer to the stock iPhone look, go to Solution 3...
SOLUTION 3 (advanced - gets labels to look pretty much like they did before)
Do Solution 2 above, then navigate to Library/Themes/White Labels/ and edit info.plist
<string>color: white</string>
<string>font-family: Helvetica; font-size: 11px; color: white; text-shadow: #000000 0px -1px 0px</string>
<string>font-family: Helvetica; font-size: 11px; color: white; text-shadow: #000000 0px -1px 0px</string>
Then respring again.
It should now look nearly the same as it did before the Winterboard update. If they release another Winterboard update to fix, just remember to disable or uninstall the White Labels theme.

In four of my eight books on Windows security, I've preached host hardening, explaining to readers how to fine-tune their computers beyond the defaults to decrease the attack surface. Probably a quarter of the articles I wrote in the last decade, out of hundreds, were about host hardening. In the past two weeks since the latest IPv6 exploit was published, I received more questions about the practice. Who could argue with the "least privilege" dogma that underpins most of computer security?
Well, after 20-plus years of giving hardening advice, I realized I was wrong. A few factors have changed -- for example, nearly every OS vendor now has very reasonable and relatively secure defaults. But there's more, including a startling personal realization: In general, there is very little evidence to support the case that a company tightening Windows beyond Microsoft's (my full-time employer) recommendations experiences any significant benefit.
[ Master your security with InfoWorld's interactive Security iGuide. | Stay up to date on the latest security developments with InfoWorld's Security Central newsletter. | Get a dose of daily computer security news by following Roger Grimes on Twitter. ]
Yes, leaving unneeded services turned on may increase the possible attack surface, but good security is all about risk management and cost/benefit trade-off. Why disable a service or tighten a permission if it isn't attacked? Why expend the energy and increase your operational risk? As it stands, there are greater risks to worry about.
I'm in the field 90 percent of the time helping clients fight off hackers, and all the attacks I see stem from client-side, social engineered Trojans or application data malformation. I've never seen (in real life) an attack made possible because an organization did not harden its defenses beyond the vendor's defaults or recommendations. It's always because the organization accidentally weakened some default setting it shouldn't have, ran socially engineered Trojans, or didn't follow advice that everyone has been promoting for 10 years, such as good patching, strong passwords, and so on.
Many security practitioners want to disable unneeded services to decrease the risk of remote buffer overflows and the like. But since March 2003, there have only been a handful of truly remote buffer overflows in default Microsoft services. Most of the buffer overflows you read about are only considered "remotely" exploitable in that gaining access to inside resource from outside the network requires tricking an end-user into clicking on something.
Most remote buffer overflows, especially the biggest ones, affected services that everyone was either required to run (such as RPC) or had to run because of needed functionality -- that is, Web server, SQL, and so on. The three most successful attacks in the history of Microsoft Windows -- Blaster on RPC, Code Red on IIS, and the SQL Slammer worm -- demonstrate this. Note that these major exploits happened a long time ago, and in all three cases, vendor patches were available, sometimes for months, before the remote exploit hit.

Post subject: On the Defense, Players, and Schemes
I honestly see little problem with Griffin's play.
You know what I see? An ok tackler, good coverage guy who plays his assignments well. He played absolutely great in the first half- nothing was given up. And then we switched away from bump coverage, and into a doubleshell zone defense, and suddenly the Lions are just racking up yards like there's no tomorrow.
Please understand this- most NFL offenses are are built around timing and finding dead spots now. When we play tight coverage, or blitz, or, god willing, get a lot of pressure from just a four man front, it throws off the timing of the other team, and really smashes their passing game.
You're blaming Griffin for things that are in no way his fault. When we don't get pressure, or throw off the other team's timing by doing the bump coverage, Griffin will ALWAYS look bad. Why? Because all of the dead spots in our defensive backfield are between the safeties and everyone else. Tight Ends have been destroying us- why? Because we play close zones with the linebackers, and deep zones with the safeties- in between is a lot of dead space, and because the safeties are playing deep and watching the WRs constantly, the TEs just find empty spots constantly.
The other spot that kills us is deep and mid range plays out of the slot- Megatron was exclusively on the outside to start the game, but then they moved him into the slot in the second half (and we switched back to the stupid deep shell scheme) so he started finding those dead spots and tore it up.
You all complain and complain about Griffin, but to date this season, I haven't seen him give up a pass behind him. In fact, going into this week, we were one of like 5 teams that hadn't given up a play over 40 yards. If a pass play goes over 40 yards, then you can blame the safeties 100%. That IS THEIR RESPONSIBILITY.
But blaming Griffin for all the pass plays that end up in front of him is ridiculous. He is responsible for keeping track of EVERY receiver that goes beyond ten yards. You think he's slow to hit the player, or that he should have been closer and made a play on the ball? Look at the whole damn field- he's watching at least two players, if not three, all at the same time. And if he tightens up on the wrong one, boom, you have a 40+ yard play or a touchdown.
He is doing his damn job. Jerry Gray isn't (well, he did the first half). He's putting our defense in a bad spot, and making the safeties look far far worse than they are.
Griffin has not whiffed on tackles this year. He has allowed 0 plays behind him. He has been in position to tackle the receivers in front of him. And he has tackled them well. HE IS DOING HIS JOB. Is he an all pro? No. But is he playing badly? Absolutely not.
Our defense has looked bad because of the scheme we've been playing. We did ok with the deep shell for two quarters against San Diego- why? Because we were blitzing and getting a ton of pressure on Rivers. Then fatigue hit and our ability to pressure fell off.
We did decent early on against the Pats too- again, blitzing helped a lot to create pressure. But because NE has two all-pro level Tight Ends, it worked far less than it did against SD. Today, we abandoned the two deep shell against the Lions and went with a bump and run, one safety tight scheme, and looked fantastic. Then we went back to two deep shell, but didn't even blitz, and looked terrible for a half.
EVERY PROBLEM ON DEFENSE SO FAR IS TRACEABLE TO THE SCHEME. Not a single player has been bad this season. All of our corners have looked fantastic. The safeties and linebackers look bad in pass coverage because our SCHEME leaves a ton of room in between the two groups.
When we rush successfully from the 2 deep shell, that problem disappears. When we constantly throw off timing in bump and run (also lowering the chances of deep passes before the rush gets to the QB) and play one safety close, we look great.
It's easy to hate on Griffin, he was legitimately bad last year (not his coverage though, same problem as this year, but because his tackling was just awful). But he has played well this year. Rob Johnson has too-
You know why Babs started today? Because we did the bump and run with a tight safety, and Babs is a great in the box safety. When we switched back to the deep shell, Johnson came back in.
Honestly, half the time you guys sound like politicians. You take a complex problem and try to pin it on one guy, or a very simple explanation. Football is the most complicated, interesting game in the world- I say game because Football is real time chess with variable pieces and variable boards.
Right now, our team, in the run game and on the defense, is failing mentally. That's a problem of the coaches- Palmer's inability to recognize CJ cannot run in a zone scheme, and Gray's stubborn insistence on running two deep shell against teams that can exploit it. CJ had a bunch of good runs today- all of them were in a "here's one direction/hole, or you can cutback" play. He was absolutely terrible on his own in OT, just making awful decisions. And all those runs he got stuffed on, or got like two yards? Same old Palmer zone-read plays.
Look, I'm buying Palmer's passing offense. It really clicked today, and it looked fine the first two weeks (our inability to run and Palmer's insistence on not abandoning the run killed us). Palmer can either take CJ out, or run the plays CJ is good at. I've said this before.
Same on defense. Gray is smart. and his scheme isn't bad, per se. But to run a two deep shell, we either need to blitz and create pressure (ala the Giants/Eagles for the last decade) or have such a damn good front four we don't need to blitz (ala the Colts for the last decade). We definitely can't do the latter- our Dline is good, but not that good. And the former doesn't work against QBs like Brady and Rivers, or against teams with high level TEs like the Pats.
It's clear we can do bump and run with a safety close. We have the speed and strength at corner, especially in nickel with Mouton.
Here's our formula for success-
Against a high level QB- either 2 deep shell with blitzing (if they have a bad offensive line) or bump and run (if they have good tight ends)
Against a high level QB w/ a good offensive line and high level tight ends- have to do bump and run with a close safety.
Against a middle of the road QB- Two Deep Shell is fine. Bump and run might be even better (take away his close passes and short stuff and let the DLine come after him)
The point is- we need to change our style against different matchups. We have the talent and ability to run 2 deep shell, with or without heavy blitzing, or 4 man rush bump and run coverage with a tight safety.
If Gray can do this, and choose the right scheme and play call throughout the game, we should have a top level defense, just as we did in quarter 2 and 3 against SD, and the first half against the Lions.

Amazing post. i agree with just about everything you said. Was just about to make a post earlier about how i felt like i was watching Jeff Fisher coach all over again. We play the exact same scheme as he did when he was here. Rush 4, play soft zone behind it was safeties deep. its so predictable and easy to exploit, especially with a good quarterback like stafford. i just don't understand how our coordinators and coaches think that can be an effective scheme especially with a mediocre front 7. We had an effective scheme going in the 1st half, then we go conservative and basically start playing prevent defense(Ala Jeff Fisher)

My problem with Griffin will always be how soft he plays.
He had the chance to LAY THE WOOD to Calvin Johnson on that big gain in OT. But Griffin just whiffed.

The reason people like myself trash Griffin is because the guy has all the tools all the tools height speed physicality to be an elite safety in the game,but he's so damn inconsistent & what I see hurts griffin the most be the little things he keep doing,that you would think by now he will correct.
1.He bights on play action so much that sometimes he plays deeper position so he want get beat deep,but he's so far off he can't make a play on the ball.
2. He takes bad angles in the run defense & sometimes cutting off his receiver route.
3 He just don't play with a swagger anymore like he's 1 of the best or you better not throw on my side. He plays like he want someone to feel sorry for him

The problem with our defense right now is the lack of a pass rush.
It isn't Griffin, and it isn't the fact that Gray is an idiot or a bad coach. It's the fact that the scheme we are running doesn't work without pressure.

Well then adjust. Don't go out in the 1st quarter with a great gameplan and then just throw it out after that. Our pass-rush isn't that bad. Their getting pressure, just not the sack. Plus idk how many times I've seen Wimbley held in the past 3 games. Once we get McCarthy back and hopefully Spoon is benched in favor of Brown(Spoon is just terrible), we'll be better IMO.

Yeah, the 4 man pass rush is fine- if you look at the tape today, we essentially had 0 blitzes. It was 4 (and a lot of 3) man rush all day. Like I said, our dline is pretty good, but they're not good enough to consistently get sacks when it's just a 4 man rush. They did put pressure on Stafford though- he had to move, he had to throw fairly fast.
I don't know what we saw against SD that we didn't here, because we were blitzing from everywhere against them, and it really worked early on (again, fatigue).
I'd also like to point out that despite winning, our time of possession didn't improve that much. Two scores on special teams means no breather for the defense, and on offense two touchdowns from 60+ yard plays doesn't give time for a breather either.
I mean look at our games so far- we gave up 6 in the first quarter, 3 in the second, 7 in the 3rd, and 25 in the fourth. Against SD, we had a terrible first quarter (although 1 TD was a defensive TD), same against Pats (Locker turnover at our 14). Then we buckle down and do great in the second and third quarter.
But by the time the 4th rolls around, the defense is bone tired. SD put up a ton in the 4th, Lions put up a ton in the 4th.
Our inability to run and control the clock is really a big cause of our defensive slowdown. I still think Gray made a terrible call on the scheme change in the third, but we were still doing ok-ish. But trying to keep up with that offense in the 4th turned bad real fast.
Guys, we honestly have a great defense (talent wise). The players are individually playing well (Witherspoon is the weak link). But our scheme hasn't been great, and the fact they're on the field 35+ minutes every single game so far is just making the 4th quarter so, so bad.
I was thinking last night that maybe Gray wasn't as dumb as I think- he might have left bump and run and went back to shell because he recognized how exhausted the defense was getting (playing zone is a lot less tiring than bump and run for the DBs).
Anyways, we need to do better at TOP. We did have a few long drives (with Bironas missing field goals due to injury). But the lack of a running game, and our emphasis on big plays on offense, is definitely hurting the defense.

WATCH: Nicki Minaj Swaps Snakes For Spiders In Usher's New Music Video
Listen to Usher Radio on iHeartRadio | Listen to Nicki Minaj Radio on iHeartRadio
When you're busy slaying iTunes and breaking VEVO records like Nicki Minaj is, you're just not going to have time to give 100% to everything in your schedule. That's probably why Her Minajesty doesn't actually appear on screen with Usher in the R&B crooner's new music video for "She Came To Give It To You."
Instead, Nicki phones in her feature, recording her guest spot from a separate room that's been spliced in with the main nightclub setting of the video.
Despite not being physically present alongside Ush, Nicki brings her A game by playing up to the camera and showing off a selection of her super cute facial expressions.
She also trades in her anacondas for spiders by letting a tarantula crawl on her breast!

First of all I know I should be happy with Kiffin but I feel like we may have missed out... Bur more importantly... If Philly ends up with Horton to implement the 3-4 D Kelly apparently wants I am going to flip.... Bowles was a player for Arians at Temple and AZ has plenty of talented defensive players, but if Philly ends up with Horton essentially trading DC's with AZ I am gonna be pretty pissed. Arians is gonna be under a ton of scrutiny if this backfires because it seems like he's on something. BUT Apparently Cleveland wants him bad though, but they already lost the Kelly sweepstakes to Philly so who knows.... Crazy

By Jerry Cornfield Herald Writer
OLYMPIA — Third-graders who have trouble reading no longer face automatic flunking, thanks to state lawmakers. But there also is no guarantee that if those students are reading way below grade level they will move on to the fourth grade.
A new law which will take root in the fall of 2014 requires parents, teachers and principals to sit down together and chart the best path for helping those with the most difficulty reading.
Retention may wind up as the option for some, while summer school and extra classroom assistance in the fourth grade will work for others, lawmakers said.
"It's not a reactionary approach. We want to see significant change in some of these kids," said Sen. Bruce Dammeier, R-Puyallup, vice-chairman of the Senate education committee. "I wish I could flip a switch and have better outcomes."
It's a far cry from the controversial legislation he put forth in January which required most third-graders be kept back if they did not score above a certain level on a statewide reading test.
"I think the bill ended up in a better place. I think there is a whole lot of common sense in the bill," said Superintendent of Public Instruction Randy Dorn, adding the kind of conversation envisioned in the new law is already taking place on elementary campuses.
In Washington, third-graders' reading skills are gauged by their performance on the statewide Measurements of Student Progress test, successor to the Washington Assessment of Student Learning or WASL.
Students are grouped by their scores in one of four levels — Advanced, Proficient, Basic and Below Basic. Those in the Below Basic level, which totaled 6,430 students statewide in the 2011 school year, are the targets of the new law, as well as of Dammeier's original legislation.
Starting in the 2014-15 school year, schools must keep parents better informed of their child's reading progress. To do that, report cards for students in kindergarten through fourth grade will include information on whether the student is reading at grade level.
In addition, schools will step up efforts to identify students with reading troubles before they reach third grade and provide them intensive reading instruction. Funding would come from the Learning Assistance Program which provides instructional support for students performing below grade level in reading, writing, and mathematics. Lawmakers added $143 million into the program over the next two years.
Dammeier's original bill ran into a firestorm of opposition from House Democrats, Gov. Jay Inslee and the education establishment, dying in regular session alongside other GOP education reform ideas like giving schools a letter grade based in part on student test scores and allowing principals to hire and fire the teachers they want.
In the second special session, much of Dammeier's bill got resurrected in Senate Bill 5946, an omnibus education bill which also deals with student discipline, professional development and alternative learning.
It included changes sought by opponents including replacing the term 'retention' with 'grade placement decisions'.
Dammeier called it "more constructive" language and allowed the focus to be on the goal of helping students who are not achieving well because they can't read.
"This is all about getting a strong reading foundation," he said.
Dave Powell, government affairs director of the education reform group Stand for Children, said the bill wound up stronger as it makes sure parents won't be surprised to learn their child is falling behind in reading.
"This bill requires something to happen. That is really important," he said. "Does this bill change all of the things in our system that we think need to be improved? No. But it does create a well thought-out strategy for a real problem."
Some Democrats who opposed the original bill because of its reliance on retention, backed the final bill.
"I'm not concerned about retention," said state Sen. Rosemary McAuliffe, D-Bothell, the ranking Democrat on the Senate education committee. "We left that up to the parent and teacher and principal to make that decision. We want to make sure the schools have the flexibility."
But some didn't have a change of heart.
Rep. Mike Sells, D-Everett, a former teacher, voted against SB 5946 because it was a "grab bag of the things they tried to get in separate bills."
While it had a few good pieces, overall it contained too many top-down directives to public school educators, he said
"I thought it was micro-managing," he said. "The concern I had was these were the decisions that should be made at the local level."

'Dead' Man Rescued When Family Sees Body Bag Move
Listen to Drowning Pool Radio on iHeartRadio
(NEWSER) – A 54-year-old Brazilian man may be suffering from terminal cancer, but the docs got it wrong when they told his family he'd died of respiratory failure and multiple organ failure Saturday night. Two hours later, when family members went to the morgue to dress Valdelucio de Oliveira Goncalves' body, they noticed the closed body bag moving up and down as if he were still breathing, reports news.com.au.
They implored staff to free him, given he was tied up and his ears and nose were stuffed with cotton wool.

Hi,I am trying to clean up a site which has some pretty awful errors. Not my doing, and I wil get to fixing them, please ignore.Right now the one that is the biggest issue and one i want help with is Price not showing in IE7 and IE8. This is a problem page.http://www.brielledogboutique.com/shop/dog-grooming-tools/look at it in any other browser you will see the price below each image.IE7 and IE8 it is not there.
Price does display for some people on IE8 is there a browser setting that makes IE8 render as IE7?
Compatibility mode will have IE8 render almost like IE7 but it is not exactly the same. Do you have compatibility mode on? However, I view the page in IE7 and 8 (in IEtester, though I did open my real IE8 to see) and all the prices are appearing.
Hi,I used http://netrenderer.com/ to test, I saw prices in IE8, none in IE7.My client sent me a screenshot of IE8 on his PC with prices not showing. Obviously the clients computer matters!No sure where to go from here. I will have him check for Compatibility mode.Where is that found in IE8, same place as IE9?
I am on a mac so can not check real world
The prices are showing in IE8 and are showing in IE7 until the javascript kicks in and resizes the boxes and then they disappear.
It looks like the normal haslayout issue so try this:
Hi,thanks for the reply.prodtitles is not the price, is it important though?. Should I target the price span .pricedisplay or one of the containing div's? I just read the http://reference.sitepoint.com/css/haslayout. I could do this by trial and error but I don't have a PC to test with me as I am on the road, and a mac user, plus the site has caching.Both parent div and form have widths set, which would imply they should be OK? so maybe span which does not?further thought says not just the span as it is failing to show the "This product has sold out" text on the half dozen products at the bottom of the page.PS. what did they name that new grand daughter of yours?
Can you humour me and add that rule I gave you and then I will test again.
It works for me locally and on your live site as far as I can tell with the IE developer tools. Prodtitles doesn't have have a layout until the javascript writes a height directly into the tag and I think this dynamic change from no haslayout to haslayout is causing the problem because prodtitles is actually sliding under the rest of the div.
Of course I will humour you!I did it. I am not seeing it in firebug? Does it show there?I am not sure if caching is stopping it from being used or firebug is unaware of it. Last time you helped me your Grand daughter was bien born!
Its working for me in IE7 now.
The rule wont show in Firebug because its proprietary IE code and Firebug only shows code it understands.
I suspected that was the case with firebug,awesome thanks, yet again you solved my problem.how did the h2 prodtitle effect the price div/span? Obviously the h2 could not contain the price div/span
The h2 was being repositioned under and at the top of that little block which then meant the price followed it and was therefore also under the little block. If you use the developer tools in IE8 and outline the element you can see where it was.
That's the problem with haslayout and the trigger element can be miles away from the actual problem and causes errors down the page because it has a knock on effect.

Power Struggle: Energy Industries Open Up the Pipeline to Democrats
July 17, 2008 | President Bush's decision this week to lift the federal moratorium on offshore drilling defied the Democratic Party's long-held opposition to oil exploration along the U.S. coastline. But recently more Democrats are indicating that they might change their minds, leaving environmentalists wondering whether the lawmakers will stick to their ideological guns or be swayed by high gas prices and campaign contributions from big industries.

Q: So Jennifer, why do you think you were picked as a Super Kid?
A: I really have no idea; I'm just an ordinary 17-year-old kid. But it may have had something to do with my interview with the White House.
Q: What did you do to get an interview with someone at the White House?
A: I actually got the interview through my internship at the EdLab Group in Lynnwood. They had me send in my thoughts on what things I'd like to see in a White House-sponsored Web application meant to promote civic education.
Q: What were your thoughts?
A: I just wanted to see more information about the process of running for office and more about the qualities of a good leader. Then I got a call back from someone from the White House on the Council of Women and Girls.
Q: What did you guys talk about?
A: We talked about equality for women in the work environment and in education.
Q: Are you proud of the interview?
A: Yeah. I might actually have another one coming up through the EdLab.
Q: What is EdLab?
A: EdLab Group is a nonprofit organization dedicated to education innovation, especially in STEM. It stands for science, technology, engineering and mathematics.
Q: How did you come to intern at EdLab Group?
A: Actually, it's for my senior project. I went in and asked to talk to them about their program. I explained what I wanted to do, and they offered me an internship.
Q: What do you do there?
A: My supervisor has me work in the classroom sometimes, but mostly organize paperwork and input data. Working at EdLab Group has confirmed my passion for computers and technology.
Q: Are you in computer classes at Meadowdale?
A: Yes, I'm in AP computer sciences.
Q: How did you get into computers?
A: Well, my parents moved the family from Ho Chi Minh, Vietnam, when I was just a few months old. They weren't very tech-savvy when I was growing up. So they relied on me for that sort of stuff: setting up televisions, installing things on the computer; nothing too complicated, but I really liked it.
Q: Do you want to be a computer programmer?
A: Until recently, yes. I switched. Now I want to go into interactive media design. It's like graphic Web design. I enjoy the fact that it's artistic, but technology also plays a big part.
Q: What do you do for fun?
A: I like to hang out with my friends, watch movies and play soccer with my brother.
Q: So you're a techy teen — iPhone or Android?
A: I have an iPhone.
Q: What are your plans after high school?
A: I want to go to the University of Washington Bothell. It has an entire major dedicated to interactive media design.

Adver Reporter tries life as Santa's little helper
4:59pm Friday 21st December 2012
By Emma Dunn
4:59pm Friday 21st December 2012
By Emma Dunn
AS I stood in Santa's grotto wearing a red and green elf outfit, I could see how hard the team at the Brunel Shopping Centre were working to deliver Christmas cheer.
I was having a go at being an elf in the town centre grotto, where about 200 children are expected to visit today.
Instead of making toys in Santa's workshop, an elf's duty includes greeting the children and asking them their name and age to make sure they get the appropriate present from Father Christmas.
Fellow elf, Hollie Delphin, 19, of Lyneham, said: "When the kids go in they light up and get all happy.
"You have helped make their day happier and all the parents are happier too.
"It's nice at the end when some of the kids come up and hug Santa, that's really cute.
"Being an elf is the best job I have had, I love it."
The wooden grotto is filled with toys and Christmas decorations which are sure to get everyone in the Christmas mood.
Santa and the elves have seen between 30 and 80 children visiting on weekdays, with about 400 children visiting each weekend.
Santa, who is also known as Steve Penny, of Rodbourne, said: "The elves bring the children in and find out their names.
"The children come and sit next to me and we have a chat.
"I find out what they want for Christmas and find out whether they have been a good boy or a good girl. This year the children have been asking for iPads, iPods and laptops.
"They have also been asking for dollies and batman and Spiderman outfits.
"This is the best job ever. Our youngest customer this year was five days old. She sat on my lap."
Santa and the elves spend up to five minutes with each child, depending how busy it is.
Each child is given a present from a tub, which includes books, toys and accessories, and they also have their photograph taken with Santa.
The grotto, which is on the top floor of the Brunel Shopping Centre which is opposite the management suite and is open from 10am until 5.30pm today 10.30am until 4.30pm tomorrow and 10am until 5pm on Christmas Eve.

Henrietta Hornbuckle's Circus of Life
Reading Level: Grades 3-6
Henrietta Hornbuckle is a clown in Filbert's Traveling Clown Circus, and has been her whole life. Used to the travelling life, loving to watch the world pass her by as she tumbles and exaggerates movements and brings cheer and laughter to each town the circus visits. To Henrietta, circus life is a fluid, dynamic constant in her life. Then suddenly everything changes - Henrietta learns that the circus is in danger of closing, financial problems having finally become insurmountable. Furthermore, her mother, Hortense, wants to reconnect with her estranged sister Carlotta - a woman with an enormous house (the first Henrietta had ever entered) and a butler - a lavish, expansive lifestyle absurdly foreign to the young clown. Then the unthinkable happens, and Henrietta's jolly life is thrust away from everything she loves.

Trump Not Giving Up On Healthcare
President Trump is not giving up on repealing and replacing Obamacare. During a White House news conference yesterday, Trump praised efforts by House Republican leaders to craft a revised bill. He said the measure is evolving and is getting "better and better."
The renewed effort follows the collapse of a House Republican healthcare bill last month. Trump said he hopes to see the bill on the floor of the House soon. Meantime, Trump expressed confidence that there will not be a government shutdown anytime soon. The government runs out of money late next week without a funding extension.

Featuring a couple ex-members of the Minneapolis group Lifter Puller who moved to Brooklyn after the breakup of their old band, the Hold Steady definitely stand out from the rest of the Brooklyn crowd. Their second album combines smart, sometimes snarky lyrics with frontman Craig Finn's gruff, spoken-word shouting and a rousing indie-rock sound that sounds like a post-hardcore version of the E Street Band. 5/4/2005 - Don Yates

Canon EF 16-35mm f/2.8L USMMonday July 09 2012
The Canon EF 16-35mm f/2.8L USM is the ultimate wide-angle lens. It allows photographers to take pictures with unusual angles and in tight spaces. But the lens was tripped up in DxOMark testing in one important category.
While Canon updated its EF 16-35mm f/2.8L USM in 2007, the ultra-wide-angle lens still remains popular among photojournalists and other professional photographers for its ability to focus just centimeters away from their subjects. The lens also allows for sweeping wide-angled pictures, making it an ideal piece of glass for lanscape photographers looking to be the next Ansel Adams. As an added bonus, the lens' f/2.8 aperture helps users excel in lowlight and nighttime environments.
But how does this lens compare to its replacement – the EF 16-35mm f/2.8L II USM? Or how about alternative lenses like Sigma, or rivals like Sony and Nikon? DxOMark has some answers.
Strengths of the EF 16-35mm f/2.8L USM include:
- Good resolution, especially at the center of images.
- Well controlled distortion with measurements around 0.5%. However, distortion is notable at the edges of photographs, especially at wider focal lengths – a common effect in wide-angle lenses.
- Vignetting was kept in check, especially at higher apertures.
Weaknesses of the lens include:
- Chromatic aberration – an effect that can create color fringing, especially at edges where dark and bright contrast meet – was unacceptably strong, particularly at the widest aperture of 16mm.
Canon EF 16-35mm f/2.8L USM vs EF 16-35mm f/2.8L II USM
From the surface, Canon's EF 16-35mm f/2.8L II USM largely resembles its 2001 predecessor. The biggest physical differences of the EF 16-35mm f/2.8L II USM come down to its extra 40 grams of weight and an added centimeter in length. More striking differences between the two pieces of glass can be found inside the lenses, with the EF 16-35mm f/2.8L II USM making improvments overs its sibling in:
Much better control of chromatic aberration, a defect that dogged the EF 16-35mm f/2.8L USM.
The roughly $1,700 (USD) lens also made small improvements in brightness. It also better contained vignetting.
Canon EF 16-35mm f/2.8L USM vs. Sony Vario_Sonnar T* 16-35mm F/2.8 ZA SSM and Nikon AF-S Nikkor 16-35mm f/4G ED VR
How does Canon's EF 16-35mm f/2.8L USM compare to similar wide-angle lenses made by Canon's biggest rivals and the camera industry's other titans – Sony and Nikon?
Chromatic aberration was much better controlled in Sony's Vario-Sonnar T* 16-35mm f/2.8 ZA SSM and Nikon's AF-S Nikkor 16-35mm f/4G ED VR. But it is important to note that this defect was rectified in the newer Canon EF 16-35mm f/2.8L II USM. Canon's older 16-35mm was still able to compete with the best, standing up to its rival in nearly every other category. It equalized Sony's score for resolution, and trailed Nikon's lens by just 4lp/mm. It ran in the middle of the pack for brightness and vignetting.
Other advantages of the Canon EF 16-35mm f/2.8L USM include:
- It is more lightweight and compact than Sony and Nikon's 16-35mm.
- Good control of vignetting.
Perks of the 2009 released Sony's Vario-Sonnar T* 16-35mm f/2.8 ZA SSM include:
- Its brightness, making it an excellent wide-angle lens for for lowlight conditions, and those considering a Sony camera body.
- Chromatic abberration, which was very well controlled in this lens.
Strenghts of Nikon's AF-S Nikkor 16-35mm f/4G ED VR are:
- Its strong resolution, besting both Sony and Canon's 16-35mm lenses.
- Its affordability, priced the lowest among the three.
However, it's important to note that the widest the Nikon AF-S Nikkor 16-35mm f/4G ED VR's aperture reaches is f/4. With its tested transmission score of 4.6 T-stop, the lens will struggle in the dark and lowlight conditions.
The Canon EF 16-35mm f/2.8L USM is a dependable and bright lens with sharp resolution and good control of vignetting. However, the camera's big weakness is chromatic aberration, which will create unflattering pictures for photographers who frequently work in high contrast conditions. Canon lovers should consider ponying up the extra money to spend on the updated version of the EF 16-35mm f/2.8L USM, the EF 16-35mm f/2.8L II USM. The latter does a more superior job at putting chromatic aberration in check.

When they shout: "We strongly condemn..."
"A quick review of the racist Western perspective of what is happening in occupied Palestine explains the failure of all previous attempts to reach real solutions and just and comprehensive peace. It is because such a peace should be based on fair and balanced solutions....For negotiations to succeed, the sponsors of the process should be convinced that the life of the Palestinians is at least equal to the life of a criminal settler living on a land not his own in order to steal this land and kill the people living on it. Only then, there might be some hope of achieving peace based on justice and not on killing one party and giving the occupying killing party everything it wants. When Obama, Clinton and the European Union condemn killing the Palestinians with the same strength they condemn the killing of settlers, there might be hope of a real peace in our region."
Why Iran won't attack Israel
No credible analysis of the situation envisions a scenario in which Iran would use nuclear weapons against the Jewish state. But proponents of Israel's colonial enterprise, who support maintaining a Jewish majority by the force of walls and soldiers in occupied territory, want everyone to believe that the focus should be on Iran, not on the occupation, and that Israel's security policies are justifiable against "existential threats."
Is One Iraqi's Self-Hatred Newsworthy?
"We are not told how Karim Hassan came to acquire this 'vision' of American soldiers as blond giants with good blood. Was it based on hearsay? Who had furnished him with this description of an army that now included many blacks, Hispanics, Asians and women? Or was this villager in remote Halaichiya a history buff – as Anthony Shadid claims – who relied for his 'vision' on Arab historians of the Crusades?"
Hitchens has no clothes: A response to 'Vidal Loco'
"...his screed on Gore Vidal is merely yet another example of Hitchens's escalating propensity to project his own increasingly vast distance from reality onto those who object to his war-mongering. It is not Gore who has 'taken a graceless lurch toward the crackpot', in the unabashed words of Vanity Fair's introduction to Hitchens's outburst. Rather, it is Hitchens who has become after 9/11 an unhinged and deranged cheerleader for Total War. After Gore, Hitchens would have himself anointed 'emperor'. But it is Hitchens, not the indefatigable Gore Vidal, who staggers and stumbles, shamelessly exposed, screaming nonsensically, through the streets of the American capital."
Inviting David Brooks to My Class
"Technological prowess will not save Jewish apartheid – nothing will. But Jews can shore their lives and build a more promising future for themselves by discovering their common humanity with the Arabs, by making amends to the Palestinians, and learning to give back to the Palestinians what they have taken from them over the past nine decades."
A response to Hillary Clinton's assertion that all nations should play a part in the Afghanistan mission
"No government in Afghanistan or Pakistan was threatened until the U.S. became involved. Yes, they are poor regions with much backward fundamentalism, but those governments knew how to handle the difficulties of their own affairs before the U.S. bombed and machine-gunned its way in."
Seeking Knowledge -- Our National Imperative
"History before Islam was a jumble of conjectures, myths and rumors."
Through the Looking Glass: Muslim Timeline for World Rule?
"The bottom line is that terrorism is always wrong. There can be no provocation to justify attacks on innocent civilians. Retaliation, revenge, or pre-emption are not legitimate excuses. Who carried out the first act is not important. Most often the religious affiliation of the perpetrator is not important except in their own warped minds."

You should really try out the different methods available and see what works for you.
Besides the USB wireless, there is the need to boot a host OS. This with the VM product and the guest will eat up memory and cpu cycles by themselves.
These are just a few major "problems" that kind of jump off the top of my head right now.
Oh and do try to be a bit more descriptive with your thread titles. It will help get you more viewers/possible answers.

Toyota Texas Bass Classic Announces Concert Lineup
Limited quantity of free tickets available for Oct. 28-30
Conroe– The Toyota Texas Bass Classic (TTBC) will once again bring a stellar lineup of country music artists to Conroe, and this year it is free! The Toyota Texas Bass Classic will take place Oct. 28-30 at the Lone Star Convention & Expo Center and concerts will be headlined by Billy Currington on Friday, Oct. 28, Pat Green on Saturday, Oct. 29, and Robert Earl Keen on Sunday, Oct. 30.
Limited quantities of tickets are free this year to the three-day outdoor music festival and professional bass fishing world championship through exclusive tournament partners. Free tickets are only available while supplies last through respective sponsor promotions or by visiting Houston-area Toyota dealerships. Tickets will be available beginning Monday, Aug. 22 in stores and online.
Tickets are available for Friday, Saturday and Sunday individually. Walk-up tickets the day of the event will require a donation towards the Texas Parks & Wildlife Department and all days are subject to sell out. Fans interested in attending are encouraged to visit toyotatexasbassclassic.com for complete details on how to obtain free tickets in advance.
The daily tickets are valid for admission into the festival grounds for angler weigh-ins and the concert of that particular day. All activities, including concerts, weigh-ins, interactive expo areas and the Texas Parks and Wildlife Outdoor Adventures Area will take place at the Lone Star Convention & Expo Center's festival grounds in Conroe.
"The Toyota Texas Bass Classic brings national exposure to this area with a huge boost to the local economy, all while providing an unbelievable entertainment value and three exciting days of action," said Conroe Mayor Webb K. Melder. "It is outstanding for the city of Conroe to host this world-class event."
Billy Currington has recorded seven No. 1 hits in his career including a pair of Grammy nominations. The happy-go-lucky Georgia native has charmed crowds since he burst on the scene in 2003, and has toured with the likes of Kenny Chesney, Brad Paisley and Sugarland. Enjoy Yourself, Billy's fourth album, builds on the success of his 2008 collection, Little Bit of Everything, which yielded three No. 1 hits: "Don't," "People Are Crazy" and "That's How Country Boys Roll."
Pat Green has blazed his own trail in the country music world since 1995. The three-time Grammy nominee and Texas fan favorite has also enjoyed widespread national success since the release of his 2003 mega hit Wave On Wave. Green's supercharged live performances have evoked comparisons to the likes of Bruce Springsteen and Jimmy Buffet. In addition to national tours with superstars like Chesney, Dave Matthews and Keith Urban, Green sells out headline shows across the country. His winter 2009 release, What I'm For, debuted at No. 2 on the Billboard charts and signaled Green's arrival as a major American singer-songwriter.
As singer-songwriter, Robert Earl Keen has built a reputation as one of the nation's finest musical storytellers. Keen's formula for success has worked well since he began performing in 1981 and paving the way for a generation of songwriters and performers who make a living on the road. He paints vivid musical portraits and tells timeless stories that have led artists like George Strait, Willie Nelson, Johnny Cash, Lyle Lovett and the Dixie Chicks to record his songs over the years. It's because of Keen's confidence in his work that he had the courage to abandon his tried-and-true formula while making his new Lost Highway album and 16th release, Ready for Confetti, which goes on sale Aug. 30. As a result, he has produced one of the finest albums of his career.
The 2011 TTBC will also host a 50-angler field, assembled from the top professional leagues in the world, including the PAA Bass Pro Shops Tournament Series, Bassmaster Elite Series and the Walmart FLW Tour. The format has created a true bass fishing world championship.
The Lone Star Convention & Expo Center is a state-of-the-art facility conveniently located minutes from Lake Conroe and The Woodlands and only 40 minutes north of Houston. The location offers easy access to event activities, local shops and restaurants. For more information visit thelonestar.org.
The Toyota Texas Bass Classic tournament functions are operated by the Professional Anglers Association with technical assistance and support from Texas Parks and Wildlife Department's Inland Fisheries Division. Title sponsor for the event is Toyota. Additional sponsors include Evinrude, IKON, Oakley, Carrot Stix, US Reel and Mustang CAT. Corporate partnership opportunities are available for 2011.

Introducing PSB speakers at Crutchfield
Kristen is a former copywriter for Crutchfield. She wrote copy for both the web and catalog, covering a variety of home A/V products that included speakers, camcorders, and Blu-ray players. She also wrote a number articles and blog posts for the Crutchfield Know Zone.
More from Kristen Schaub
Heads up!Welcome to this article from the Crutchfield archives. Have fun reading it, but be aware that the information may be outdated and links may be broken.
For all you high-end home audio enthusiasts out there, Crutchfield brings you PSB Speakers. We recently started selling three home speaker lines from this award-winning company: their flagship Synchrony family of speakers, mid-level Imagine family, and value Image family. We recently got to hear their speakers first-hand in our vendor training room, and I have to say, I was pretty impressed.
First, a little background on the company: PSB was founded in 1972 by Paul Barton, an experienced woodworker with a love for classical music. Paul started making speakers in the very same workshop where his father made his childhood violin. Paul's love of accurate, musical sound and gift for woodworking led to his founding of PSB upon his high school graduation. Pretty cool, huh? But PSB's sound isn't just about cabinet construction. Paul started a partnership with Canada's National Research Council, and uses test results from their anechoic chamber, as well as careful computer modeling and listening tests, to design every one of his speakers.
We were lucky enough to have Paul at our training session in our vendor training room, which tends to be a rarity among big-name companies. I should also note that our vendor training room is not the most "speaker-friendly" listening venue. In short, it's our old install-bay (aka garage) turned into a listening room. So not only is it long and large, it also has a number of reflective surfaces, from curtain-covered aluminum doors to sheet-rock walls, that make it less than ideal for critical music listening.
But that's what makes our listening room so great — you pretty much know that if the speakers sound good there, they're going to do well in just about any room. In my opinion, PSB's speakers passed the test with flying colors.
The demo started with their flagship floor-standing speaker, the Synchrony One (shown in top photo at far left). According to Paul, this gorgeous speaker took three years of design and testing to make it sound as perfect as possible. From titanium dome tweeters and extra-large voice coils to tri-chamber cabinets with hand-selected, real-wood veneers, the One had all the trappings of a high-end speaker at a relatively reasonable price tag. The sound that I heard was dynamic, crystal-clear, accurate, and incredibly expansive.
After designing the Synchrony series, Paul decided to push the envelope even further by designing the Imagine and Image series. He used many of the same technologies in the Synchrony family as with the Imagine and Image lines. As expected, I could hear a difference.
I was one of the unlucky number of attendees sitting off to the side. As the demo switched from the Image T6 to the Imagine T and back to the Synchrony One, the sound became wider, fuller, and more dynamic. In fact, I felt as if I might as well have been sitting in front of the Synchrony One, the imaging and sound stage were so fantastic.
But that's not to say the Imagine and Image speakers were lacking. All three carried a very similar tonal quality, and while I would love to own a pair of Synchrony Ones, I'm sure I would be more than happy with the crisp, full sound of a pair of Image T6s. Though in my opinion, the Imagine Ts were the real lookers across the lines. They featured curved, seamless real wood veneer cabinets that reminded me of wood sculptures you're more like to see in a museum than in somebody's home (see photo of top of Imagine T cabinet at left).
Also worth noting: the Image B4s sounded amazing (see photo at right). When we heard these little gems demoed without a subwoofer, I was very impressed by their wide soundstage and impact. And at just $300 a pair, they're one of the most affordable options for high-end sound that I've heard yet.
We're pretty excited about carrying PSB speakers. And when you call or chat with one of our sales Advisors, be sure to ask them what he or she thought of PSB's training and demo.

Mind-boggling past experience
I have this mind-boggling experience I had more than 10 years ago.
That was when I was 17 and had no idea how things were.
I had a boyfriend then and we had sexual intercourse the first time. As far as I can remember, it didn't last for a few minutes. I was very scared so I went home, rushed to the bathroom and washed myself very well.
After less than a week, it happened again. But this time, I bled. We thought it was normal but the bleeding didn't stop. I lost a lot of blood and was rushed to the hospital. My blood pressure was 50/30 when we got there. I remembered I couldn't talk even if I wanted to. I couldn't get up. I was so weak.
After being in the hospital for a few days, the doctor sent me home. They said I had a miscarriage. I still had some bleeding but it was lighter then.
But then after a few more days, the bleeding seemed to have worsen and I had to go over pads after pads.
My parents decided to take me to a different hospital. They did an ultrasound, ran some tests. I ended up needing blood transfusion as the bleeding kept getting worse.
After a week, the doctor said I was ready to go home.
When I went back to school, they needed me to get a Medical report or record of some sort to prove that I got sick those days when I missed school.
The doctor that gave me the paper wrote "complete abortion" on it. I was scared, surprised and still wondering up to this day if I really got pregnant and had a miscarriage. I was even scared I wouldn't be able to get pregnant again if I really had miscarriage. But God has been good to me and gave me 2 wonderful blessings, my 3 year old daughter and 6 month old son.
My question is: was really possible for me to get pregnant that quick and then lose the baby that easily.. or whether it really happened or not?
12th October 2013 09:14 PM #2
Dear Herasky,
I'm so sorry to hear about your experience. That must have been extremely scary and it has obviously played on your mind since.
It is possible to have an early miscarriage at the time after sex that you describe. In rare cases a miscarriage can lead to hemorrhaging which is dangerous for the mother and it sounds like this is what may have happened in your case (as you needed to have a blood transfusion).
When a doctor says that a miscarriage is 'complete' he means that there is no part of the embryo left in the womb and so no further action is needed to remove any remains of the pregnancy.
Most women who have a miscarriage do go on to have a healthy pregnancy in the future. I am delighted to read about your two children.
In conclusion, from what the doctor said at the time and what you describe it does sound like you had an early miscarriage that lead to complications with very heavy (and unusual) bleeding. I'm so sorry that this happened. Even though it happened many years ago, loss and trauma can still have a very real effect on us today. You may find this article useful about remembering our babies when they were lost at a very early stage in pregnancy.
Please post back how you are feeling and if you have any further questions.

Thanks a lot for the reply, LJ. Now I know why it happened. Everything happened so fast and I was in shock that I didn't even know what was really going on. Hopefully, this will make me feel better.

I really hope that understanding what happened to you does help you to come to terms with the traumatic experience you went through and the loss of a pregnancy that you experienced. No matter what stage of pregnancy someone has a loss it is always a loss and grieving needs to take place. Have you had a chance to read the article I linked to above? I think it will help you to come to terms with what happened.
I'm so sorry to hear you were not informed properly at the time about what was happening with your body. It shouldn't have been like that.

Just read the article..and wow.. I'm at a loss for words. Thank you so much for sharing it. It means a lot to me.

Yes it is a deeply moving article isn't it.
I hope that you are able to come to terms with the loss you experienced many years ago and that you are able to replace the negative, scary trauma of this with positive and special ways to remember your baby who you lost at a very early stage in the pregnancy.
Please do post back as you process your feelings and let us know if you have any further questions.
Warm wishes,
