Would there be interest in mommy & me bracelets?
Hi ladies-i'm totally new to the WHAM thing, and if i were going to do it at all i'd want to do something different. This is an idea I came up with as my son started wanting to walk instead of be carried. Please let me know your honest (but kind:goodvibes:) opinions. If you know of something out there like this let me know as well. I'd hate to pour myself into something that is already out there and selling!
Everyone with a toddler knows there's a point where your little one wants to be independent. They'd much rather walk than be carried anymore! But in crowded or somewhat precarious (walking near water or a roadway) situations it can be nerve wracking and frustrating keeping your little one close. They don't always WANT to hold your hand (ok it seems like they NEVER DO RIGHT?!) Stroller straps are great for older kids who know they HAVE To hold on or else, but what about those obstinate ones who basically see it as hand holding-or when you don't HAVE A stroller? And we've all seen the parents who are mocked and even chastised for leashing their children, whether it be a tether or a back pack! The leash is LONG and i've seen many a kid in this situation try to bolt from their parents only to end up tangling up some unsuspecting stranger in their leash!
That's where i got the idea for the mommy and me bracelets. Both mommy and toddler wear bracelets that are connected by a snap/loop system. Toddler wears a bracelet with the words "baby", "kiddo" or something of that nature (perhaps a nickname?) and their parents phone number, which is attached to the "tether" by a pull through loop (that way you CAN'T dissconnect on the toddler end). This SHORT tether then goes up to meet mommys bracelet, either by another pull through loop or by snap, which has "mommy" or your name with the matching phone number on it. The tether would be long enough to give a child a sense of freedom, but short enough so that noone gets tangled (mommy, kiddo or strangers!). I basically evisioned combining the safety and free-hand's-ness of a leash with the closeness of hand holding, which still giving the toddler, and mommy an open hand! It would look much less controlling looking than a leash, but still give you the peace of mind of knowing noone can just snatch your kid!
I envision the bracelets to be adjustable, with snaps, or perhaps make of a cotton/knit if desired so that the FIT but are still stretchy and comfortable!I also want them to be able to detach from the tether, that way you can both wear them, and if you and your child are separated, someone could see the phone number and call/match you up with each other.
SO what do you think? Are there gaping holes/safety issues i'm not thinking of? Would anyone want to see a prototype? We're going to the beach in two weeks, and i think the boardwalk would be a perfect place to test this out!
Re: Would there be interest in mommy & me bracelets?
I think the idea is a great one. I did find links to products that are already on the market, but I think people would be more interested in them if they had cute prints and designs.
Re: Would there be interest in mommy & me bracelets?
I think it would be great if it didn't have a bracelet for the mom. More of like a leash handle that the mom slips around their wrist while holding the kids hand, then if the kid tried to let go or their hand the mom still has control but if you want to let you kid have a bit of freedom you can just let go and they just have a little leash handle hanging off their wrist.
Re: Would there be interest in mommy & me bracelets?
i had 1 of theses when i was a kid! :) my mom and me wore them and i loved it let me feel independent yet not let me be lol i know they have the backpack style on the market now but i havent seen the type your talkin about for years! i think it would be a good idea! we tried the backpack style it was def a NO GO with DS1! he would freak lol we just quit tryin i would have tried this tho had i seen them! :)

An investigation into why a fishing boat sank off the Scots coast has blamed the captain for being distracted by a telephone call.
Skipper Neil King, of MacDuff, Moray, was in charge of the Prospect last August when she ran aground on Skibby Baas rocks at Lerwick Harbour in Shetland.
Mr King and his three crew were rescued by Lerwick's lifeboat, but despite attempts to tow the vessel to safety, she soon sank in 50 feet of water. In a report by the Marine Accident Investigation Branch (MAIB) on Wednesday, it was claimed that as well as being distracted by a phone call, Mr King's judgement may have also been hampered by alcohol drunk earlier that day.
Loading article content
It said: "The skipper had not effectively planned and monitored the vessel's passage. He had become distracted in continuing a telephone conversation while altering the vessel's course. It is possible that his performance was adversely affected by alcohol."
Weather conditions on August 5 were not considered a reason to cause the crash, as it was sunny with good visibility, a force two wind and a "smooth" sea-state.
In their report, the MAIB recommended Mr King, attend a navigation skills refresher course.

Upbeat fusion and sharp, scintillating smooth jazz guitar mark this brainchild of Terry "Toonz" Reynolds, a multi-talented guitarist/composer who penned all of the inviting tunes found on this album, Coast to Coast. Reynolds has a getting-started story not unfamiliar to a lot of polished guitarists, but it's worth mentioning all the same. For example, he notes that an old, cracked hollow body with three strings missing gave him his first introduction to guitar (what better sound than that first half-stringless guitar? Gives one character and perception, I say). He even ventured into Hendrix-land for a bit. That had to add dimension to his learning experience!
The selections on Coast to Coast range from refreshingly light and flavorful offerings arguably comparable to guitar greats like Kenny Burrell, Wes Montgomery, and George Benson to a touch of electronica on tunes like the moderately funky "Salammin" and the colorful "San Diego Streetz." Reynolds commands a very talkative guitar with clear precision chording and riffs. His pace, depending on where he wishes to take you, is most deliberate and telling, as is shown on such silky pieces as "Mourning Morning" (one of my favorites of his slower jams).
Other favorites of mine include "Gee Bees," a really smooth, moving work that captures (as do almost all of the compositions) the Montgomery/Benson/Burrell feel so powerfully. This piece is further enhanced by some really tight trumpet/flugelhorn work from Mitch Manker. The peppy "Tic Tac" is another funky little tune that works well for me, as does the lively, shake-it-down dancer "Freddie's Gospel."
It's clear that Reynolds knows where he wants to be. He mentions that he'd like his music to stick in peoples' minds "like an upside down jelly sandwich" and that he'd like at least one of his tunes to hit listeners where they live. Well, count me among those with that tasty "goo" in their minds and who happily welcome him into their musical "home."

Michelle Williams Says a Destiny's Child Reunion May Happen
We may not have seen the last of our favorite Independent Women, even if we have to wait quite awhile. In a recent interview with E! News, Michelle Williams revealed that another Destiny's Child reunion could be on the horizon — if a very distant horizon.
Questioning whether they'd be able to "top" the high-profile gig that is the Super Bowl, Williams said the reunion would have to be "something epic and worthwhile and amazing."
"I'm never going to say never, but it'll be a long time," she revealed, crushing any hopes of instant gratification that most fans would surely have upon hearing this news.
Williams and fellow Destiny's Child member Beyonce are slated to appear in a collaboration on Kelly Rowland's upcoming album — but as three solo artists instead of the original group. The project follows up their Super Bowl halftime gig and the recently released album "Love Songs," which includes the new track "Nuclear."
Rowland also recently speculated on a potential reunion, reportedly telling the New York Daily News that, while all three women are "very happy" with their solo careers, another album is indeed a possibility.
"It's not a no," she offered.
Rowland's new album is slated for a June 4 release, while Beyonce is currently headlining a world tour in advance of a new album coming this fall. Williams stars in the Broadway musical "Fela!" and will soon get her own reality series.

LOS ANGELES — When you look at their body of work the last two years — particularly this season — there should no longer be anything shocking about the Shockers.
Wichita State, a No. 9 seed in the NCAA Tournament's West Region, last night won its 57th game in the last two seasons and it was the most significant — a 72-58 victory over La Salle at Staples Center to advance to the Elite Eight.
The win sends the Shockers into tomorrow night's West Region final against No. 2 seeded Ohio State, which defeated Arizona in the early game at Staples Center. This is Wichita State's first regional final appearance since 1981.
Considering one of the Shockers' NCAA wins on this magical postseason season run came against Gonzaga, the tournament's No. 1 overall seed, don't expect them to be intimidated by the Buckeyes and their 11-game winning streak.
Wichita State (28-6) looked like it was going to blow La Salle (24-10) out early in the game, opening up huge leads of 14-2 and 17-3 before the Explorers could catch their breath.
"They're a high — very high — level team,'' La Salle coach John Gianinni said. "Wichita State won the game in the first half. They really overwhelmed us. It took us a half to adjust to the level they were playing at, but they just had too big a lead. We were just in too deep a hole.''
La Salle, which uses a tough four-guard lineup to rattle many of its opponents, was not able to shake up Wichita State thanks to 8-of-30 shooting in the first 20 minutes. La Salle ended up shooting just 35.7 percent for the game.
La Salle's Tyrone Garland was 2-of-10 from the field, Ramon Galloway was 2-of-9 and D.J. Peterson played 13 minutes and didn't take a single shot. Garland finished with 16 points but it came on 5-of-15 shooting. Galloway had 11 on 4-of-15 shooting.
"They were all over the place,'' Galloway said. "They came to play and were by far one of the most physical teams we've played.''
La Salle could not handle Wichita State's 6-foot-8 forward Carl Hall, who had 14 points and six rebounds in the first half and finished with 16 points and eight rebounds. Malcolm Armstead led Wichita State with 18 points and Ron Baker added 13.
La Salle, which trailed 38-22 at the half, was crushed on the boards by Wichita State, 26-12, in the opening 20 minutes and 47-29 for the game.
Now, Wichita State is one more win from the unthinkable — a Final Four berth.
"We need one more win to seal this deal and go back home and get ready for the Final Four,'' Baker said.
"We're 40 minutes away,'' Armstead said. "I'm looking forward to it. It's a dream come true.''

I'm going to be starting treatment for rectal cancer with liver mets this month. I just started a new job in December of last year. I'm a little worried how all the time I'm going to be missing is going to work.
I am not elegible for FMLA until after I have been employed with a coampnay for a year. I can't take Personal Leave until after 5 months.
Not sure how its going to work out. I am not married and rely on my employment for medical insurance.
Anyone with experience with this?
Mar 04, 2005 - 6:55 pm
Maria -
I'm not a lawyer - that's just a line I use on the cute gals in the bar - but you may be protected - at least some of your rights - under the Americans With Disabilities Act - RunnerZ... what do you think?
Mar 04, 2005 - 11:53 pm
I was recently diagnosed with colorectal cancer and liver mets. I started my chemo in the beginning of Jan 2005, I'll start my 5th dose this coming Monday. FYI, I have yet to miss a day of work and by looking at me you'd never know I have cancer. I still have my hair, however it's thinning a little bit, hardly noticable. Anyways, I recommend you go to work as often as you can, it's a great way to keep your mind of your illness. Last week I had a ct scan of my abdomen, the three leasions that were there on my first ct scan are no longer visable. Chemo does work:o) Hang in there...
Mar 05, 2005 - 5:00 pm
I agree with Buster. I have rectal cancer, was stage 3, now stage 4. During ALL my treatments (chemo + radiation, surgery, chemo, surgery again, chemo again) I only missed a total of 10 weeks of work. I worked through everything, full time. BUT, my co-workers & supervisors couldn't have been more supportive. I lucked out big time. I was allowed to leave early if I needed it. All in all, I handled everything very well.
Just take it all one step at a time. Every person reacts differently to treatments. Call the American Disability people.
Mar 05, 2005 - 11:30 pm
Well, after finally getting treatment plan straightened out and insurance coverage, started first round of chemo for rectal tumor with liver mets that was diagnosed Feb 05. They have decided to do chemo first before radiation or surgery then re-evaluate.
Its going ok so far. Worse part yesterday was getting the PICC line placed in my arm. Gave me the heebie jeebies thinking of then pushing the line up my vien in my upper arm to my heart. And then still freaked me out some that the chemo is going directly into my heart. Expecially after I was told how toxic 5-FU is. I guess it can damage your skin if it touches it! Eessh.
I got Avastin first yesterday, then Oxaliplaitin an Leukovorin at same time. Then a 5-FU push, and then 500 ml of 5-FU delivered by pump for 46 hours. I'm at about 24 hours in right now. Feel a little ill. Not too bad though. Taking Anzemat for nausea and Lorazepam for anxiety.
Very glad to be starting on something to kill those cancer cells that have been having their way in my body. Raargh...hope they shriveling to nothing. I was and stiil am a little nervous about Avastin. I've read of lots of scary side-effects, including bowel perforation. I have rectal tumor that bleeds a lot. I'm worried that I'm going to sit down in the john and see just a ton of blood, especially when I get cramping, feel like I'm putting a lot of pressure on the area and that that the tumor is going to pop. I'm going to try to get more answers to thes concerns tomorrow when I get pump taken off.
Thanks for reading. Good to type out what is going on with me and concerns and hopes. So for so good. I know that chemo can have a cumulative effect and that it may get worse, but so far its going ok.
Mar 06, 2005 - 4:46 am
Hi Maria, If you feel up to it try to work because I stopped & man I hated/missed it, and like Buster said keeps your mind off of it all, I think depending on the job & the chemo you may be able to continue, I was a waitress & my biggest was the bathroom all the time, not so much anything else, and though, fatigue, you may be able to swing it , but also check out the laws on that too like SB said. Some chemo is tolorable, mine (2nd time around) now is pretty decent, I feel kinda good except the dihaerra, and nausea, but hey Pills!! Good Luck & God Bless
Mar 07, 2005 - 12:09 am
Hi Maria,
The only thing I'd add is that taking care of your body (getting enough sleep, eating well, exercising) will help you get through the chemo, so try to prioritize all that as well. Good luck and let us know how it goes!

Ramona High School's girls swim team closed out its regular season Saturday by sweeping all 11 events against Classical Academy.
"It was really nice to get to finish up with a win," said Coach Jolyn Yanez.
The Bulldogs' 123-43 victory was also Ramona's final home meet of the season. Pre-meet festivities included honoring Ramona's only senior, Meredith O'Gwynn.
The May 5 result gave Ramona a 2-7 season record in dual meets. Ramona's league dual meet record was 0-5. The Bulldogs closed out their Palomar League dual meet season May 1 against Mount Carmel, with the Sundevils winning 105-63.
"There were lots of good races throughout the day, and I wasn't disappointed with the outcome of the meet at all," Yanez said.
Ramona took first-place points in two of the 11 races against Mt. Carmel. Gina Lucas swam the 200-yard freestyle in 2:00.10, and the 400-yard freestyle relay team of Danielle LaRosa, Paulina Bernd, Rachel Hogervorst, and Lucas finished with a time of 3:54.41. During the eight individual events, 42 percent of Ramona's varsity swims were best times.
Ramona increased its best time performance to 63 percent against Classical Academy.
Yanez placed swimmers in events to give them opportunities to make CIF consideration cuts. Bernd's time of 59.50 seconds in the 100-yard freestyle not only won the race but also earned her consideration status, as did her time of 27.59 seconds in the 50-yard freestyle.
Hogervorst already had a consideration time in the 50-yard freestyle, although her winning time of 27.18 seconds lowers her provisional mark. She obtained consideration status in the 100-yard backstroke, winning the race in 1:08.49.
The winning 200-yard freestyle relay team of Bernd, Podoris, O'Gwynn, and Hogervorst spent 1:52.51 racing. Schwegler, Podoris, Holabird, and Jessie Gilbert had a winning time of 2:10.01 in the 200-yard medley relay. The winning 400-yard freestyle relay team of LaRosa, Gilbert, Jocelyn Schwegler, and Lucas took 4:02.13. Schwegler also won the individual 200-yard freestyle race, taking 2:13.33. LaRosa's time of 2:27.61 won the 200-yard medley relay. Gina Lucas won two individual events with times of 1:00.82 in the 100-yard butterfly and 5:31.85 in the 500-yard freestyle.
League finals will be Saturday at Mt. Carmel.

Recto: Abraham Woodside (born Philadelphia, PA, 1819; died Philadelphia, PA,1853)
Verso: Carte-de-visite photographer: H. G. DeBurlo, Philadelphia, PA
Abraham Woodside was a prominent artist in Philadephia in the mid-nineteenth century. However, likely due to his death at the age of 34 at the height of his career, not much about his life is readily found. This carte-de-visite is from an alburm of American artists held by the Smithsonian American Art Museum/National Portrait Gallery Library. Although this album includes many famous artists of the mid-nineteenth century, it also includes many artists that are not as well-known, such as Woodside.
Abraham Woodside was the younger son of John Archibald Woodside, Sr., who gained fame as one of the most acclaimed sign painters of the Federal period in Philadelphia, although he also painted still lifes and animals on canvas, a few of which survive today. Abraham's older brother John Archibald, Jr. was also an artist who was trained as a wood engraver. Abraham pursued painting and in 1844 he is listed as a portrait painter in the Phildelphia city directory. He opened a studio in the Art Union Building in Philadelphia and gained renown as a portrait and historical painter (Jackson 1933, 65). After a fire in 1845, Woodside was one of a group of artists that reopened the Pennsylvania Academy of Fine Arts in 1847 (Weigley 1982, 344). He exhibited at the Pennsylvania Academy as well as the Maryland Historical Society and the American Art Union. His life was cut short at the age of 34 dying, according to the New York Times, "from the effects of the heat."—Doug Litts

Thank you for sharing this post.
I like to Google about Abraham Woodside. I am interested to know more about him.
That was a good information.I learned a lot to Abraham Woodside.Actually i am really looking for this information.
I am glad to know Mr. Abraham Woodside.It's nice to know something about him.I concluded that he is a honorable man.
Recto: Abraham Woodside (born Philadelphia, PA, 1819; died Philadelphia, PA,1853)
It's nice to know a lot of things about Mr. Abraham.I can say i know him now.
Before i never had any idea about Mr. Abraham Woodside.Actually, i never know that there's a person like him that was existing.Thanks to you and for this information about him.
Thank you so much for giving me opportunity to learn this.
Based on the information you provided to us, Mr. Abraham was a great man.I concluded that he is a type of a person that can be called as legend.Whose agree with me?
Thanks for sharing this information about Mr. Abraham.I guess i can use it in some other time.
It was my first time to encounter Abraham Woodside, but by your post I must say I have an I idea on who is he and his works.
Father, John Archibald Woodside is my Great, Great, Great grandfather.. We have quite a few of his paintings.. I have a sketch of Abraham's that he might have used for one of his known paintings.
I am proud to have these ancestors.. There are still the "art" genetics in my family, but never so famous..
Thanks so much for your article and the works cited. I have been interested in Abraham because I bought a most beautiful 'unknown' painting – and after some detective work I found that it is by him, dated 1847 "Fair Student". It was an 'American Art Union prize", number 373, 1848, to J.Husted, Elmira, New York. There is a lady seated reading a book. The details in the medieval room scene (e.g. stained glass window, tapestry cloth, pearls, lute, sun shining across the floor, folds on the silk dress) are staggering and remind me a little of the pre-raphaelite work Mariana (by Millais) but this is pre-Millais. I love it. The most well-known painting may be "Amanda Walter", 1851 which is in the Capitol Building? Thanks again. Janet.

One of my friends came over yesterday and I tried out his portable vaporizers. It was by a brand called "Omicron" and looked very similar to one of these:
Anyway, it's basically the size and shape of a ballpoint pen, and it just has this little button on the middle of it that you press, and you suck on one end of it while pressing the button and it creates marijuana vapor.
I tried it out a few times over the course of a few hours and it was pretty neat. The high was more mellow/less harsh than regular weed smoked from a glasspipe, kind of a slightly different type of high even, not just milder (per hit I mean (like, if you take enough hits you still can get as high as you want even with this vaporizer thing), but a different style of high sort of.
Anyway, the cool thing was, unlike with regular weed, which tends to intensify my pain disorder, this stuff didn't cause that, it just felt like a nice pleasant high but didn't worsen my pain problems or anything.
From what I understand, it has a small cartridge in it that has hash oil in it, and then it has a (battery powered) heating element in it that heats the oil up to vaporization point or something, but not combustion, so you inhale just the weed vapor, instead of smoke (just like with a volcano vaporizer but in a much smaller more portable kind of device I guess).
The only thing that kind of worries me is if like, I mean, I dunno how much I trust these random weed accessory companies who make this type of shit, like, who knows if they maybe have some shit inside of the cartridge that is bad for you when it gets heated up, like, in addition to the hash oil in there, if maybe there's some plastic stuff or I dunno that somehow is bad when you use this thing, without anyone realizing it, because these are small companies who I'm guessing never did any rigorous testing and studies to make absolutely sure it's totally safe, is my only concern I guess.
I'm debating maybe getting a medical prescription for weed from one of my doctors and then getting one of these things, legally, (since I live in California).
Just wondering if any of you have tried these types of miniature pen-style vaporizers before, or if any of you have much experience or knowledge about them, etc
they're pretty money. in addition to being better for you, the "smoke" also doesn't smell like weed so thats a plus. you sure about that hash oil thing? seems weird/illegal.
also, DEF go get a card. its beyond easy. i moved out here from Virginia, and i woke up one morning and decided i was gonna try to get my card. i went to the dmv, showed them nothing but my passport, was given a CA ID before I walked out, and then went to the "weed doctor" and had a year prescription within an hour.
My buddy takes his inside Texans games and hits it while we are sitting in our seats

So, the thing is, I remember when I first started with this pain management doctor I had to fill out some forms, and on the forms one of the things was something like "Do you abuse marijuana?" and there was another part was like "I agree to be urine tested at any random time to check that there are no narcotics in my urine (marijuana included), and if they ever piss test me and find that I have illegal narcotics (other than the oxycontin that's prescribed to me I mean), then I will be red flagged and not allowed to recieve narcotic pain medication ever again in the United States.
So, I'm not really sure how it works. Like, I'm not sure if if I have a medical prescription for weed, then they can't red flag me when weed shows up in my piss test, to make me not be allowed to get oxycontin prescribed for my pain disorder anymore, or if they still would or what. And then I'm worried about asking my pain management doctor about it, since, if he isn't a doctor who is in favor of medical marijuana, he might just immed think of me as a drug abuser for even brining the topic up and ban me from my pain meds or some shit. So, it's kind of a weird situation. Like, my urologist, smart guy, has an office in an upscale area, lots of rich/upper class patients (basically one of the top/most respected urologists in los angeles) told me straight up on one of the first times I went to see him he was like "By the way have you ever tried marijuana to see if it helps you pain condition at all? Because I can prescribe that medically for you if you'd like to try it. Some patients experience some relief from it, other's don't, but it's worth a try if you want to try." And I was like "Well, I've smoked weed before, but, as soon as I started having this pain disorder, then every time I smoked weed it just made my pain way worse (this was before I ever tried a vaporizer, which seems to not increase my pain at all, for whatever reason, which I only just tried yesterday for the first time)". So, in any case, obviously I'm sure that guy would be willing to prescribe it, I'm basically just worried about how it would play out with my pain management doctor, cuz if my pain management doc turns out to not be ok with it or something, then he could just red flag me just like that and then boom, I'd have to go move to a different country or some shit just to be able to get pain meds prescribed for my pain disorder, which would be pretty awful if that happened.
So, it's kind of a tricky situation I guess, iono :(
No but I've used one of these and they are pretty sweet:
You heat a rock which indirectly heats the herb. It isn't exact and it is possible to burn the weed if you heat it too much, but if your careful its pretty clutch and vaps like a champ.

I'd find a dealer loooooooong before I ever signed anything like that.
It's a pretty standard thing for pain management offices from what I've seen. So far I've only been to two different pain management doctors in the past 3 years, and both of them both had a form like that. I like my previous doc better (and I think he would've been ok with me getting a medical weed prescrioption in addition to my normal pain meds), but, I switched to a new pain management doc cuz the other one was like an hour and a half away from where I live, each way, so, since car rides are like the worst thing ever for me pain-wise, then, I wanted to go to someone nearer by, but then, this new pain management doctor that I go to who is much closer to me is kind of an asshole and all our sessions are always just awkward and weird, so I'm worried about even bringing the topic up with him, since he seems like a really uptight/anti-marijuana type of guy sorta.
Sigh. Sflame that it's not jut legalized so I wouldn't even have to worry about all this shit. bleh

let me clear real quick by what i mean when i say report...they didnt call the cops or anything like that, the doctor would usually stop seeing the person and they would be in their system
iVapor is the NUTS. Had the pleasure of using one a few weeks ago and it changed my life. I am on a mission to get one. The device itself is readily available, but the hash-oil cartridges must be purchased from a medical vendor and they do not exist in MD.
You just press a button and hit it. Very little smell, works instantly/easily and up to 100ish hits IIRC. Super discreet, no mess, shit is awesome.
I have an Iolite portable vape that was awesome when I first got it, but this new shit blows it out of the water.
Yea the one I tried was exactly like that, just a different brand I think. It was pretty awesome.
This is the Magic Flight Launch Box. I don't use it tons ATM cause I have no reason to get high out and about but in casinos and traveling and general they're pretty legit.
If that pen thing works as advertised though it may be better.
Yea, the thing I like about the pen thing is that, well first of all it just looks like a pen or something non-illegal like that, so you could literally just be like in the middle of a crowded shopping mall, and take a hit randomly and probly nobody would even have a clue what you just did, but even better still is that it doesn't even have like actual green ground up weed leafs in it the way the thing in that pic you showed has, like, instead it just has these little cartridges (sort of like a AAA battery, in terms of size/shape/look) and I guess all the shit is like all inside of the cartridge thingie, I think it has like hash oil in it or something, in any case, it's basically just toally all concealed and encapuslated, so it's not like there's any visible weed anywhere no matter what, even if you disassemble it, there still isn't, so, that's pretty cool (in terms of taking it out in public I mean).
Personally tho i don't even care that much about that aspect of it, mainly I just like that it is a very mellow type of high that actually feels good to me, and it's like even easier to control exactly how high I want to get with it, cuz the increments of highness are a little lower per hit with it than with regular weed, so you can control your high to like, the exact amount you want, and get no more/less high than you exactly want to be.
It is noticeably bigger than one of those electronic cigarettes? if they're similar, then this is awesome. could be sittin in a bar, casino, hell even a stadium and "hey look, just an electric cigarette, NBD" and everything's cool
have you ever been drug tested by your pain management peeps?
Yes. Only once so far (and I passed, since I hadn't smoked any weed for like a year prior to that, when that happened)
I recommend it
Haven't seen one of the cigarette type vaps but rumor has it that these one's are pretty good for a low cost / portable medical device ...
The one I used yesterday was almost exactly like this one:
^^^The thing in this video is an "ivapor"^^^ which is very very similar to the one I used. The one I used was an "Omicron", it's a different brand from the ivapor, but they look almost identical. I think the omicron was even a little smaller/slimmer than the ivapor in this vid, and also, it didn't have that bright light glowing like the ivapor that he showed in that vid, and it holds like 400 hits instead of 90 (supposedly), but basically the same thing as far as the device or whatever, they look almost identical to the one I tried yesterday.
bfactor, you should talk to your pain management doc, but bring up the issue in the context of "my urologiest told me that marijuana might be a good treatment option and that I would qualify for a card. do you think it might help, and how would it affect my oxy treatment as I saw I'm not allowed to combine narcotics"
that way it looks like you are being an astute patient asking the right questions about proposed treatments (which you are, in reality) without arousing much suspicion

My guess is in your perfect world Dyz people would just pay out of their pockets and then could do whatever they fuck they wanted to with their pills. Thats fine and dandy but we are a long way from something like that in this country...like never.

Which they usually just turn around and go buy other drugs with that money. They sure as hell dont need groceries cause they have food stamps or Link card or whatever.

Green light for Taylor Hopkinson
We welcome to the fold our newest client, Glasgow-based Taylor Hopkinson Associates, an award-winning recruitment company in the renewables field. Team39 will be working on a brand-spanking new website for them, which better reflects the company's ambition and place in the market.
Be My Valentine?
What does Valentine's Day mean to you? Is it a chance to re-iterate your undying love to the special person in your life? Or is it that day you have to remember to buy gifts and over-priced flowers to avoid getting an earful/the spare bedroom/dumped?
The most popular theory on the origin of Valentine's Day dates back to the time of the Roman Empire during the reign of Claudius II, 270 AD. Claudius didn't want men to marry during wartime because he believed single men made better soldiers. Bishop Valentine went against his wishes and performed secret wedding ceremonies. For this, Valentine was jailed and then executed by order of the Emperor on February 14. While in jail, he wrote a love note to the jailor's daughter signing it, 'From your Valentine.'
There you go, and a multi-million pound industry was born. Cynical? Maybe. But should you really need a designated day to remind someone you love them? Probably. Woe betide you though if you mess it up. We've all heard the horror stories of forgetting to book that table or buying rotting flowers from the petrol station. Maybe you've even contemplated saying that you deliberately didn't get anything for your partner as a prank and that you were always going to surprise them with gifts on the 15th, buying you that precious extra day to sort it out. No? Just me then. I suppose what I'm trying to say is that nowadays we all have to up our game.
Gone are the days when a bunch of flowers and a box of chocs would get you by. Nowadays you may as well simply save yourself the money and say 'I couldn't be arsed'. Surely your partner's worth more than that? If only for putting up with the likes of you. If you don't mind hearing 'I could have done so much better than you' for the next year then bravo, you're obviously stuck with each other and can look forward to a life that closely resembles 90s sitcom 'Married… with Children'. For everyone else there is hope yet. A little bit of imagination goes a long way and just trying something different is going to get you brownie points.
Here's a few things you could try…
First Date
Most people go out for a Valentine's meal but why not make it into a first date for a bit of added romance. Go out separately beforehand and arrange to meet at the designated time at the restaurant you've booked. If you've not seen each other all day it adds to the scenario and will take you both back to those heady days when you first started seeing each other. For a little while anyway.
Cook a Meal
Rustle up a romantic three-course meal, you don't even need to do much cooking, pick up a few bits from your local deli and you're ready to go without much effort. Make sure you present it well, turn the lights down, light some candles and maybe with your partner's favourite chill-out music in the background. Also remember that just because you're staying in doesn't mean you don't need to make an effort. Get yourself all dressed-up, smelling nice and wow your partner. As good old Gok would say 'It's all about the confidence'.
Buy a Plant
A good alternative to those roses that aren't going to see out the week. A plant will last for ages and will always be there as a little reminder for you partner. Try an orchid, lily or lilac plant. It's also likely to be a lot cheaper than the over-inflated cost of a bouquet at this time of year. Just remember to water it though!
The Card
Do not under-estimate the power of the card! Don't just simply put your names on there with a few kisses, do a little bit of thinking and write a little poem or write how you feel about your partner, why they're so special and the one for you. If you have trouble expressing yourself vocally then this is the ideal opportunity to get it all down in writing. Don't be embarrassed or shy about it, no-one else is going to see it and just make sure you mean it. If you're feeling adventurous why not make the card yourself, anything handmade will come across more thoughtful. Just go easy on the glitter, it's a nightmare to come off.
Pamper Yourselves
Book a spa day to get you and your partner away from it all. There are treatments designed specially for couples so you don't need to be apart and can spend the whole day de-stressing together. Unless it's your partner that stresses you in the first place, in which case you're probably looking for a completely different guide to Valentine's Day.
Now that we've given you a few ideas it's over to you. Remember the key factors are to make it special with a sprinkling of imagination. Oh and remember to tell them you love them (I know, I know, but you'd be surprised!).
So, do you have any interesting Valentine's tales to share? Any tips for all the budding romantics out there? Make sure to drop us a comment. Oh and try to keep it clean!

All Ireland Under 21 Hurling Semi Final: Antrim captain Donnelly wary of Tipperary
Antrim skipper Cormac Donnelly admits that the manner in which side were fully tested by Armagh in the Ulster under-21 hurling final has served as a warning for Saturday's All Ireland semi-final showdown with Tipperary.
Donnelly, who helped his club Ballycastle overcome Glenariffe in the Antrim championship at the weekend, acknowledges that the Saffrons will need to show a big improvement if they are to end Tipperary's interest in the competition.
"Armagh really put it up to us in the Ulster final and the fact that we had the forwards who got us late scores stood to us," points out Donnelly.
"But Tipperary will be a different kettle of fish.
"They have several players in there with senior experience and indeed some of them were involved in the All Ireland senior win over Waterford on Sunday.
"We know they have some very good forwards who can do damage when they get quality possession.
"Armagh got some early scores against us in the Ulster final but we recovered well from that.
"However, we cannot allow ourselves to have to chase the game against Tipperary.
"This is a big challenge for us but we feel we are ready for it."

Tokyo (AFP) March 12, 2011
In catastrophe-prone Japan, regularly shaken by earthquakes, dotted with more than 100 volcanoes and swept by typhoons, living with the threat of natural disasters is just a part of life.
The memory of past calamities has made Japan's 128 million people and their government better prepared for disaster than most other countries.
Even so, most people realise there are limits to preparing for a mega-disaster such as the massive quake and tsunami that hit on Friday.
But zealous safety preparations, regular drills and, crucially, the country's wealth, which allows for expensive quake-proofing of buildings and infrastructure, have saved thousands of lives in recent decades, experts say.
"If there is any place in the world ready for a disaster of the scale and scope of this historic calamity, it is Japan," said Stacey White, senior research consultant at the Centre for Strategic and International Studies.
The catastrophe showed just how many lives can be saved by a reliable warning network, state-of-the-art infrastructure and a strong government response, she said.
Toshitaka Katada, a professor at Gunma University's Disaster Social Engineering Laboratory, said Japan had proved that lives could be saved.
"In the past Japan used to be just like today's Southeast Asian countries when disaster struck," he said. "Thousands of people died every year until 50 years ago."
Since a typhoon in 1959 killed more than 5,000 people, death tolls have fallen into the hundreds or dozens during most disasters -- with the exception of the 1995 Kobe earthquake, which killed more then 6,400 people -- he said.
"This is because the government has made protecting its citizens from disaster a state responsibility," he said, in part by building infrastructure such as river dykes and retaining walls against floods and landslides.
"Local administrative bodies are trained to quickly issue alerts and evacuation orders and distribute food and blankets at shelters."
Most Japanese know the drill: keep a backpack near the door, filled with bottled water, dried or canned food, a first-aid kit, cash, clothes, a radio, a torch and lots of spare batteries.
People know they should try to hide under a solid table to guard against falling objects, to quickly turn off the gas mains, and to keep a door ajar lest a tremor jams it shut and traps them inside a crumbling house.
Common advice is to keep a spare pair of shoes under the bed, and a bicycle outside, to navigate rooms and roads littered with broken glass and debris.
Many people subscribe to mobile phone quake alerts, schoolchildren have padded and flame retardant headwear under their desks, and people can prepare for the real thing in a high-tech earthquake simulator.
Earthquake kits are sold in department stores, and people are urged to supplement them with key personal items -- spare glasses and special medications, or extra nappies and food for the baby.
Families are told to work out emergency meeting spots and times for the very worst cases -- for example, if many buildings have collapsed and are on fire, and mobile phone systems have broken down.
Many more lives are saved when disaster strikes in Japan than in many other nations simply because it is a wealthier country.
Nuclear power plants and bullet trains are designed to automatically shut down when the earth rumbles, and many buildings have been quake-proofed with steel and reinforced concrete at great cost in recent decades.
"Japan has the most advanced early warning system in the world," said Hiroshi Inoue of the National Research Institute for Earth Science and Disaster Prevention. "But it's not perfect, especially for those near the epicentre."
Good governance and the rule of law are also seen as crucial.
A school or hospital is less likely to collapse if it is well built and has not been weakened because a corrupt official has used shoddy materials to syphon off money, as has happened in other countries in the past.
Many lessons were learned from the Kobe quake, in which buildings were flattened, highway overpasses and train tracks uprooted and residents buried.
The human and economic toll highlighted a lack of preparedness and served as a wake-up call for authorities to better ready citizens for quakes in a country hit by an average of 1,500 tremors of varying strength every year.
"We have learned a lot from the Kobe quake," said Nomura Research analyst Satoru Saito. "As a result, Japan's quake-proofing technology has developed dramatically. Japan is undoubtedly leading the world in that technology."
In the aftermath of the Kobe disaster, Japan stepped up quake response drills, held regularly at schools and workplaces.
A law passed in 2007 mandated tougher quake proofing of new buildings.
Under the law, skyscrapers, factories, power stations, bridges and railway stations must be built or retrofitted to withstand stronger tremors, so that a magnitude-five quake would now normally cause little damage.
In the same year Tokyo also unveiled what was billed as the world's first wide-scale quake alert system, designed to give public utilities and citizens a few seconds advance notice before a tremor reaches them.
The warning system, operated by the Meteorological Agency, works by detecting primary waves, which spread from the epicentre and travel faster than the more violent secondary or shear waves.
Alarms are set off when primary waves of a certain intensity are detected ahead of the shear waves. Public broadcaster NHK relays the alerts almost instantly to its television and radio audiences.
Citizens can have as much as 30 seconds warning to dive under a table, turn off the gas, or put on a helmet.
However, no amount of preparations can avert the inevitable damage and loss of life of large-scale natural disasters such as Friday's quake, said White, from the Centre for Strategic and International Studies.
"It is simply impossible for any country -- no matter its focus on preparedness -- to predict and plan for all of the potential consequences of a natural disaster."

Hi guys. sorry if this is in the wrong spot, not too sure where to put it.
Anyway I'm trying to upgrade to windows 7 and I need to upgrade my BiOS. When I use the website for drivers and whatnot every time I had something to my download list and click download it just tries to get me to download the driver manager app (which I already have). In the driver manager it says I have no downloads whats going on?

Ahmadinejad: Iran Won't Retreat 'Iota' From Nuclear Program
Iranian president says that IAEA discredited itself by siding with 'baseless' U.S. claims about Iran's nuclear program.
President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad said on Wednesday that Iran won't retreat "an iota" from its nuclear program and he strongly rejected a UN report claiming that Iran is seeking atomic weapons.
Ahmadinejad chided the International Atomic Energy Agency, saying it is discrediting itself by siding with "baseless" U.S.claims that Iran is seeking to develop nuclear weapons.
Ahmadinejad made the comments on Wednesday in a speech addressing thousands of people in central Iran. The speech was broadcast live on state television.
The IAEA report - citing what it called credible information from member states and elsewhere - listed a series of activities applicable to developing nuclear weapons, such as high explosives testing and the development of an atomic bomb trigger.
Before the release of the report on Tuesday, Ahmadinejad said that Iran would not stop its nuclear work, despite media speculation that Israel was considering military threats.
"We advise the United States and its ally [Israel] to stop and be ashamed of [their threats] and be aware that Iran will not take one step back [from its nuclear program]," Ahmadinejad said in a meeting with students in Tehran.
"Anyone acting against Iran would gravely regret" a military attack, he said according to official news agency IRNA.

A trigger is a special type of stored procedure that executes when a specified DML operation (an INSERT, DELETE, or UPDATE, or any combination thereof) occurs. They're typically used to ensure that business rules are followed or to do other work when a data modification occurs. A trigger is the SQL equivalent of a 3GL callback function or a hooked interrupt vector.
You construct and attach triggers to tables using the CREATE TRIGGER command. When a table is dropped, so are its triggers.
Most of the details of stored procedure programming apply equally well to triggers. In fact, because you can call a stored procedure from a trigger, you can effectively do anything in a trigger that a stored procedure can do. One thing that triggers don't normally do is return result sets. Most front ends have no way of handling trigger-generated result sets, so you don't see this done very often. SQL Server doesn't permit triggers to return result codes.
Triggers fire once per statement, not per row, regardless of the number of rows changed by a given DML statement. You can set up triggers that fire after a DML operation (known as AFTER triggers, the default and most common type), and you can set up triggers that fire instead of a DML operation (INSTEAD OF triggers).
You can set up as many AFTER triggers as you want for a given table. Using sp_settriggerorder, you can designate a first and a last AFTER trigger on each table; the rest fire in no particular order. You're allowed just one INSTEAD OF trigger per DML operation on each table or view, although you can easily circumvent this by creating multiple views over the table or view in question and attaching INSTEAD OF triggers to each of them.
Declarative referential integrity (DRI) constraints have precedence over triggers. This means that a violation of a DRI constraint by a DML command will prevent triggers from executing.

The Chicago Bulls have been on a roll in this year's NBA Las Vegas Summer League having won their first two games against the Memphis Grizzlies and Denver Nuggets convincingly. Thus coming into last night's game against the 0-2 Portland Trailblazers people expected the Bulls to once again bulldoze their opponents. That wasn't the case.
Like the past two games the Bulls came out of the gate strong grabbing a double digit lead early. Though the team was missing Malcolm Thomas due to a sore ankle from Monday night's 22 rebound performance, the team looked as if they were going to cruise to another victory behind the efforts of Erik Murphy, Tony Snell, and Marquis Teague. Unfortunately a broken nose forced Murphy out of the game in the middle of the first half. Already without Thomas the Bulls were forced to move Snell to a power forward position.
The Bulls were humiliated on the boards from that point on leading 22 rebound differential in favor of the Trailblazers. Behind the play of CJ McCollum, Portland fought their way back from a double digit deficit in the fourth quarter and forced overtime. Several key shots from Andrew Goudelock put the game away for the Bulls.
With the win the Bulls are now 3-0 and move onto the Las Vegas Summer League postseason as the second seed behind the Golden State Warriors.
Player Recaps:
- Tony Snell
Snell's game was up and down last night. He managed to knock down several mid range jumpers, a floater, and some layups but for the most part his shot abandoned him last night. He managed to make up for this with good off ball movement, smart passing, and good overall defense.
- Erik Murphy
Murphy was on an absolute tear shooting wise before he was hit in the face on a put back attempt. Murphy's shot was as smooth as silk last night as he went 4-of-6 from the floor with 2-of-3 coming from long range. What struck me as interesting last night was Murphy's willingness to put the ball on the floor after pump faking scrambling defenders. It'll be interesting to see if Murphy can become a three point threat not only as a spot up shooter in pick and pop situations, but also as someone who can shoot off of some dribbling.
- Andrew Goudelock
The magic is gone for Goudelock (for now). Last night he shot a poor 4-of-13 from the floor and barely managed to get into double digits. Often times he over-dribbled which led him to put up prayer shots, only one of which I remember going in. Goudelock likely didn't hurt his stock and will still end up on another team, but let this be a reminder that volume shooters can lose their shot as quickly as they find it.
- Marquis Teague
Early on in last night's game Teague started off a bit shaky. Some of his passes were forced, were bad, and looked out of rhythm. But he quickly regained his composure and imposed his will on the pace of the game. Once again he used his speed to blow by his opponents to get to the rim which led him to shooting 12 free throws on the night. The most unbelievable part of the night is easily the fact that Teague went 3-of-3 from long range including 2 late in the game keep Chicago ahead and showed some confidence in his shot.

Moyer, at 49, makes his pitch for spot in Rockies' rotation
Moyer threw 92 pitches over four innings, the latest step in his comeback bid, and Dexter Fowler hit a two-run homer to help the Colorado Rockies beat a Chicago White Sox split squad 8-5.
The 49-year-old Moyer, who sat out last season while recovering from Tommy John surgery, gave up three runs and seven hits. He walked three and struck out four, facing 22 batters in all.
"I was around the plate most of the time," Moyer said. "They were very selective, and that made the game harder for me. But that's how the game is some days. You just have to battle out there."
The soft-tossing lefty, who is 267-204 in 24 major league seasons, has a 2.77 ERA this spring and appears to be a strong candidate for the fifth spot in Colorado's rotation. The Rockies are his eighth big league club and he is slated to start again next week in one of their final spring training games.
Colorado manager Jim Tracy said Moyer delivered a credible performance and liked ��the way he hung in there and kept us in there."
Tracy said a decision on Moyer will come down to the end of the camp. The club has seven exhibition games left, and the manager wants to see how Moyer recovers after throwing 92 pitches.
"There is no question about his arm. But can he bounce back five days later? We want to answer all those questions," Tracy said.
Chicago outhit the Rockies 14-8. Paul Konerko pushed his spring average to .407 with three hits.
-- Padres 13, White Sox (ss) 2�White Sox starter Dylan Axelrod allowed three runs and eight hits in 5 2-3 innings. He struck out four and walked three.
Axelrod, who posted a 2.89 ERA in 18 2-3 innings with the White Sox last season, is competing with four pitchers for two bullpen spots.
Chicago catcher A.J. Pierzynski had a run-scoring triple and is batting .268 this spring. He likely will be the No. 2 hitter in the lineup.
"That's all I've been trying to do all spring, not do too much and put the barrel on the ball and let it go where it goes," Pierzynski said.
White Sox notes
-- John Danks will be Chicago's opening-day starter, an honor that went to Mark Buehrle for nine of the last 10 seasons. Buehrle signed with the Marlins in the offseason.
Cubs shut out Indians
-- Cubs 2, Indians 0�Jeff Samardzija knew exactly what he needed to do to get back on track after a subpar outing.
Samardzija pitched six innings of three-hit ball to lead the Chicago Cubs to a 2-0 victory over the Cleveland Indians on Wednesday.
The right-hander had a solid season while working as a reliever in 2011, but new manager Dale Sveum told him he wanted him to make the switch to a starting spot. He pitched well in his first three starts, but gave up seven runs and seven hits against Colorado on Friday.
"I was cruising and I let it get in my head a little bit," he said Wednesday. "I came out today and made a little adjustment from the last time out. It's amazing what kind of a difference that can make."
On his new role, the 27-year-old Samardzija said: "I feel great, but I'm not going to worry about it (making the rotation)."
Samardzija also had a leadoff triple in the fifth that rolled under the glove of diving left fielder Russ Canzler. But Samardzija was stranded.
His teammates picked him up with two runs in the sixth on singles by Bryan LaHair and Joe Mather.
Samardzija takes pride in other aspects of his game.
"I've said all along that I want to be an athlete, run the bases and field my position," the ex-Notre Dame wide receiver said.
Cubs closer Carlos Marmol pitched the seventh inning in his second appearance since leaving a game on March 20 with numbness in his pitching hand. He struck out one and walked one.

TAXILA, May 27: The price of alternate energy products such as Uninterrupted Power Supply (UPS) and generators has skyrocketed and their manufacturers are fleecing customers by taking advantage of the prolonged power outages.
During a survey conducted by this reporter on Monday, it was observed that the sale of these items had increased in the twin cities of Taxila and Wah Cantt.
Chaudhry Javaid, a generator dealer in Aslam Market (Wah Cantt) said the past 10 days had brought a 40 percent increase in sales. "The demand for Chinese generators is increasing gradually, and have already grabbed 60 percent of the market share," he said.
On the other hand, Noman Ali, a dealer of imported and local UPS in Taxila, said the demand for locally manufactured UPS had doubled while Chinese UPS were facing less demand due to their high cost and high repairing charges.
Although the price of UPS and generators is high, people have to arrange for these to get some relief from the 18 hours of loadshedding.
Sheikh Zia, an electronics dealer in Taxila, said the price of generators had doubled within a year, giving a boost to their sale.
"The price of a small generator, used in houses and shops, was Rs 16,000 last year, but is now being sold for Rs23,000 to Rs26,000. The demand for heavy-duty generators, used for running air-conditioners etc, is between Rs 76,000 and Rs102,000," he said.
It was also observed that traders and dealers of famous brands of UPS are selling their products at different rates and earning a huge margin. The prices have now gone beyond the purchasing power of most people, and only those who are well off are able to purchase this essential commodity.
A UPS dealer Tauqeer Shah said UPS were preferred over generators as the latter made a lot of noise adding that a powerful UPS setup could simultaneously operate computers, fans and lights.
It was also revealed during the survey that the local market was facing an 'artificial shortage' of certain parts of locally manufactured UPS as a handful of dealers had formed a cartel to manipulate prices.
Consumers complained that most UPS manufacturers were using silver wires in the transformers instead of the heavy-duty copper wire. A silver wire UPS has a short life span and cannot withstand long spells of power outages as it heats up and burns away quickly.

New or used?
I can't even eimagine a car dealership turning you down, if you truly have a 730 score and proof of a steady job. Those dealerships are trying to sell and they'll find you a loan. Maybe not on the price level of vehicle you're looking at. You may have to lower your taste a tad bit.
But finding a loan on a used car, through your bank is another matter. They do care about your history and the risk is greater on a used car anyway because the resale value (if the bank has to re-possess) is less. If you're serious about buying used...why don't you start at your bank and ask them "what limit will you approve?" Then go find something in that price range and make sure the blue book value is in line with that loan or they'll deny it.

Good choice.
Has anyone on this site ever actually driven a sub $4000 car for more than 10 months? I recently got a loan for $10,000 while making only $20,000 a year for a used Chevy Spark with 45,000 miles. Sometimes reliability is worth it. My 2002 Focus attempted to kill me multiple times.

The issue I see is you are looking for a loan of 15K while making 30K, 50% of your income. I for one would not make a loan like that.
you need to look for a car that is more like 3-5k at most. and really closer to 3k. Best bet would to PAY Cash. and have no loan.
A car loan should not be more than 10% of your income.
Do you have a Savings? Can you Pay Cash for a much Lower cost car? if you can Do that.
Good Luck

That's right, Monday is not such a bad day.
I had my 5 week re-visit with the ENT surgeon who performed by second neck dissection in late March and was told that I was healing "fantastically" and that my tongue (site of the primary tumor) and throat were clean, clear and normal in all respects, and she said again "No Evidence of Disease".
I had anticipated a good report, after all I've been feeling increasingly better, taste is coming back, saliva and I've started my normal exercise routine, walking 4 miles a day in a little more than an hour. The walk is a bit of a challenge at present, I have to make sure to bring a water bottle, slather up with the million SPF sun block that my wife picked up, and wear a full brim hat, but I'll put up with it to be a little more normal.
A big difference from a year ago, hospitalized with a post chemo infection, critically low blood glucose levels, visual disturbances, a temp of 101, no wonder my wife though she was going to lose me that day.
A lot of recent posts have shared the challenges that so many of our family face every day and while I feel a little guilty feeling so much better, perhaps we can look at this as the rainbow that comes out after a strong storm.
Here's wishing everyone an easy trip through the hell that treatments are, a speedy recovery, and a return to normal life sooner than later.

HEART, n. L. cor, cordis, and allied to Eng.core, or named from motion, pulsation.
1. A muscular viscus, which is the primary organ of the blood's motion in an animal body, situated in the thorax. From this organ all the arteries arise, and in it all the veins terminate. By its alternate dilatation and contraction, the blood is received from the veins, and returned through the arteries, by which means the circulation is carried on and life preserved.
2. The inner part of any thing; the middle part or interior; as the heart of a country, kingdom or empire; the heart of a town; the heart of a tree.
3. The chief part; the vital part; the vigorous or efficacious part.
4. The seat of the affections and passions, as of love, joy, grief, enmity, courage, pleasure &c.
The heart is deceitful above all things. Every imagination of the thoughts of the heart is evil continually. We read of an honest and good heart, and an evil heart of unbelief, a willing heart, a heavy heart, sorrow of heart, a hard heart, a proud heart, a pure heart. The heart faints in adversity, or under discouragement, that is, courage fails; the heart is deceived, enlarged, reproved, lifted up, fixed, established, moved, &c.
5. By a metonymy, heart is used for an affection or passion, and particularly for love.
The king's heart was towards Absalom. 2 Sam. 14.
6. The seat of the understanding; as an understanding heart. We read of men wise in heart, and slow of heart.
7. The seat of the will; hence, secret purposes, intentions or designs. There are many devices in a man's heart. The heart of kings is unsearchable. The Lord tries and searches the heart. David had it in his heart to build a house of rest for the ark.
Sometimes heart is used for the will, or determined purpose.
The heart of the sons of men is fully set in them to do evil. Eccles.8.
8. Person; character; used with respect to courage or kindess.
Cheerly, my hearts.
9. Courage; spirit; as, to take heart; to give heart; to recover heart.
10. Secret thoughts; recesses of the mind.
Michal saw king David leaping and dancing before the Lord, and she despised him in her heart. 2 Sam.6.
11. Disposition of mind.
He had a heart to do well.
12. Secret meaning; real intention.
And then show you the heart of my message.
13. Conscience, or sense of good or ill.
Every man's heart and conscience--doth either like or disallow it.
14. Strength; power of producing; vigor; fertility. Keep the land in heart.
That the spent earth may gather heart again.
15. The utmost degree.
This gay charm--hath beguiled me
To the very heart of loss.
To get or learn by heart, to commit to memory; to learn so perfectly as to be able to repeat without a copy.
To take to heart, to be much affected; also, to be zealous, ardent or solicitous about a thing; to have concern.
To lay to heart, is used nearly in the sense of the foregoing.
To set the heart on, to fix the desires on; to be very desirous of obtaining or keeping; to be very fond of.
To set the heart at rest, to make one's self quiet; to be tranquil or easy in mind.
To find in the heart, to be willing or disposed.
I find it in my heart to ask your pardon.
For my heart, for tenderness or affection.
I could not for my heart refuse his request.
Or, this phrase may signify, for my life; if my life was at stake.
I could not get him for my heart to do it.
To speak to one's heart,in Scripture, to speak kindly to; to comfort; to encourage.
To have in the heart, to purpose; to have design or intention.
A hard heart, cruelty; want of sensibility.
HE`ARTED, a. Taken to heart. Not used.
1. Composed of hearts. Not used.
2. Laid up in the heart.
This word is chiefly used in composition, as hard-hearted, faint-hearted, stout-hearted, &c.

Nintendo UK today revealed a new features trailer for Hyrule Warriors, which launches in Europe on September 19th. This new trailer runs through almost every announced playable character including Link, Impa, Zelda, Agitha, Darunia, Ruto, Lana. It doesn\'t only show the good guys however as several of Hyule\'s shadowy characters feature including Ghirahim, Cia, Wizzro. As the trailer progresses it focuses on all of the known weapons and items the game makes use of from The Legend of Zelda series, not just the three main titles Ocarina of Time, Twilight Princess & Skyward Sword.
Towards the end of the trailer there are demonstrations of the co-op and adventure modes. The co-op mode is local only and for two players with one using the Wii U Gamepad, and the second using the TV with a Wii Remote and Nunchuk as they battle the swarms of enemies together. The adventure mode demonstration shows how players will travel around a tapesty inspired by the original Legend of Zelda game but as soon as they come across and enemy they need to defeat they will be transported to the world of Hyrule Warriors to battle the beast in full 3D.
Make sure you watch until the very end of the trailer to have a little chuckle at Lana\'s expense!
