Definately call. I have had spotting this pregnancy and then I realized it happened the day after Rob and I had sex, every time! At my first u/s, everything looked great, but because I was concerened my dr told me not to do anything for 3 weeks. So last night was the 3 week mark and of course Rob was counting down. We had sex and things were fine. But sure enough, I went to the bathroom at 2 am and there was a pink tinge when I wiped! I hadnt spotted in 3 weeks and now it happened again. Lucky for me I had a drs appointment already scheduled for today and I told him about it so he checked me- my cervix is closed, but he said it looks a little raw (TMI) and said thats where the blood came from, not my uterus which is when they start to worry. He said thre wasnt continual bleeding up there, which is also good. He said I should be ok and that a lot of women bleed through out their pg because their cerix is so tender. He scheduled me for an u/s next week to make sure everything is still ok, but we heard the hb through the doppler, and so everything seems to be fine. I am sure youre ok too, but I would call your dr. You might get a free u/s out of it! I get one next week!

Tarot Readings for You for March 26, 2014 Wednesday©
Guidance We connect with a person or a concept and find ourselves headed in a different direction as a different person … that fast! The change, even a drastic one, is imperceptible at first, sometimes. We have this 'Duh' mentality is toward the turning points in our lives. It may be years later, dusty old hindsight, before you make the connection to a major turning point, but of course you are usually aware that you were headed east and are now speeding southward.
Are YOU here for the first time? Come in!
People love this place! Our site is divided into four sections: Guidance, Tarot Readings, Learn Tarot by Observation, and Learn Tarot by Pictures.
If you just want your daily look ahead, Guidance and Tarot Readings are all you need. 'Guidance' (above) is a summary of what the cards are telling visitors to be aware of this day.
'Group Tarot Cards Reading' (just below this) is the actual word-for-word messages from the pictures of the four cards you see – to everyone. These readings are about you and the people around you. They are about today and the days around it. So, go ahead and pick the sentences you feel are yours and decide whether to encourage or reject them for yourself.
Did you come here for your predictions? – You are done now – See you tomorrow. The family of commenters here would love for you to join in (the very last thing, at the bottom.

Tarot Readings: Love as a Sudden Change (Lovers and Knight of Swords)
Tarot Readings: Questions and Wondering about Love (Lovers and Seven of Pentacles)
Tarot Readings: Love as a Sudden Change (Lovers and Knight of Swords)
What happened? – all of a sudden I'm in love and loving it?
Blurts out 'I love you' enthusiastically – where did that come from?
Pours out expressions of love but I think that might change.
They love and adore one another instantly somehow.
Lover says to you 'What if I came back?'
Thrilling (delicious) – and maybe brief – love.
It feels good to be in love, at least for the moment.
How fast can we get to be lovers and everyone know about it?
So happy to be in love all of a sudden, but still have my doubts.
Crazy about you, love you, how did that happen so fast?
The more crazy in love he is, the more he ponders a quick escape.
Where did this ecstatic love bond come from all of a sudden?
That loving feeling, good vibrations, seems to have hit us – boom!
Ecstasy together happens so fast we can't believe it.
Tarot Readings: Questions and Wondering about Love (Lovers and Seven of Pentacles)
Talk to her about being lovers, for a change, if that is what you want.
When she asks 'Do you love me?' say your piece and get it over with.
Is this a re-run of Lover's performance?
You asked if I loved you: I told you this before.

Lover ponders changing to make you happy.
Lover ponders getting out of the promise.
Take back what I said about 'I don't know whether I love you or not.'

Why am I so happy to have this lover back?
Now, Part Two,
Do you want to know a little, or a lot, about how this Tarot Verbatim™ thing works? If so,
*Go to Learn Tarot by Observing section below. This tells about the combined four pictures in the Tarot Readings – the pictures above here. It explains how these four cards get together in your mind to make the messages. HERE ARE PHRASES FOR ALL SIX 2-CARD COMBINATIONSis a stream-of-consciousness bridge to your subconscious if you use it regularly – people report.
*Go to Learn Tarot by Pictures. It is what each of the four cards, by itself, has to say. It shows you how that illustration makes that card's meanings in today's Spread. All the words of each Tarot card reading you see here are a phrase-by-phrase translation of the scene pictured on those cards: no filler, no psychic impressions, no spirit guide. Word-for-word Tarot Verbatim™.
You can put all this together and intuitively see yourself how Tarot Verbatim™ works.
This is a group reading, with no Questioner and no Question to limit what the cards say, so there's more variety – even contradictions – and also the pronouns are more flexible. If it feels like it's yours, and it says 'he,' and you're a 'she,' feel free to adopt it anyway.
Knight of Swords
Star – Lovers – Seven of Pentacles
Star and Lovers Star is saying 'I love you' and Lovers is lovers. Star is 'most any kind of talking, and Lovers is any kind of contact or connection. Star is feeling good and good health, and Lovers is making a connection to. So Star and Lovers together is also a conversation with a contact (as in business), and Knight of Swords adds 'quickly' to that notion. The meat of our reading today is Star + Lovers.
Knight of Swords, as I said, means immediately or quickly. It also means a change, change of direction, switch (to or from), quickly or immediately (as in 'jump on it'). Get back, go back, come back are also prime phrases, plus turnaround or turn around. Those are his meanings we use today anyway
Star and Seven of Pentacles Seven of Pentacles ponders, doubts and wonders, is iffy and 'maybe.' Seven of Pentacles is one of the 'Duh' cards. With Star, it says "Ask questions." Star and Seven of Pentacles also 'doubt those promises.'
Star and Knight of Swords 'I take back what I said' or 'take back the promise.' Expressions of love that change. But 'all of a sudden I have that good love feeling' too. 'I'm telling you again.' 'Calls you back.'
resonates with your subconscious awareness!

Star feels good, is singing in the bath outdoors at night, nude. It's a performance, it is talking and confessing love, and making love promises. Star is blurting out how he or she really feels. That is the part of Star we use today.
Lovers' central meaning is 'connection.' It shows Adam and Eve, a volcano (usually for passion) between them, the snake in her tree and his tree of life, a red-winged angel with red and green hair, and the noon sun. Several categories of meanings are called forth with all these elements. Today it's lovers, contact, connect/connection.
Seven of Pentacles wonders, ponders, questions, asks 'if' and asks 'whether.' He doesn't know. He isn't sure. The illustration shows him leaning on his shovel wondering whether his labor on the cucumber vines will be worthwhile, whether he will have cucumbers – because he may not have planted both genders of the vegetable.
Knight of Swords doubles back in a hurry, returns, changes direction, gets back to (you), last minute, gets out of or makes a quick escape. 'Again' is a very common word for him. He gets out of or takes back (what he said). (It) hits … sudden or fast or rush, instantly, brief, for the moment, prematurely, very soon, get it over with. A re-run, even.

Design Motivation
Relevance of Environmental and Physiological Parameters
Airborne Particulate Collection
Figure 2: Location, ambient temperature, ambient humidity, and body temperature are all automatically logged to flash memory through a portable microcontroller. All parameters can then be correlated via timestamp and uploaded to a report which is generated for each user. Images are also taken via a time-lapse, and will be used as waypoints to which time correlated data can be added. Figure 2 shows the GPS, sensors, and flash memory interfaced with an ArduinoDuemalonove. The entire unit has a very small form factor.
Figure 5: Data was exported to a .csv file and manipulated to display raw humidity, environmental and body temperature. This data is also correlated with the map waypoints for user viewing. One can see the body temperature reducing as the cold air interacts slightly with the thermistor. Environmental temperature and humidity increases midway, while walking past John Jay cafeteria.
Design Specifications
Figure 3: The particulate collector uses a high power fan to draw air through the 30 micron nylon mesh filter. The cartridge is actuated by the servo motor at programmed time intervals to allow air to flow through each individual wedge. A total of eight samples can be taken over the course of the day, and the fan runs for 10 minutes at each designated sampling time.
Figure 1: Our current prototype encompasses all of these design specifications. Electronic components and a particulate filter reside in the outermost pocket. Discreet external sensors collect environmental parameters and track location – this data is stored in removable and easily accessible memory.
Pollen was collected for ten minutes, filters removed, and analyzed. The image at left is representative of isolated pollen, while the image at right shows the pollen that has collected on the surface of our nylon mesh filter. Images taken at 10x.
Future Plans
Figure 4: A GUI is used to quickly program the microcontroller which actuates the particulate collector. (a) Sampling times can be entered at a standard interval – ie. class times – or individually. (b) The user report can also be accessed via this GUI. (c) All parameters are added to photo EXIF data, and displayed via Google Maps. Future iterations will include a search engine which will allow a user to search for specific triggers, locations, or stress responses.

"St. Mary's Food Bank Alliance, the world's first food bank, is a non-sectarian, non-profit organization that alleviates hunger by efficiently gathering and distributing food to the hungry," states their website. Relying on volunteers and developing important community relationships with local businesses, news networks and anyone willing to get involved, St. Mary's Food Bank Alliance is a member of Feeding America. "Our mission is to feed America's hungry through a nationwide network of member food banks and engage our country in the fight to end hunger," states the Feeding America website.
People get excited about donating food during the holidays and when tragedy hits. However, hunger is a daily problem that never goes away. Summer is one of the hardest times for food banks in Arizona. It's hot here – extremely hot. Winter visitors disappear. Dust and monsoon storms make for nice weather pictures, but not for feeding the hungry and keeping food bank shelves full.
There's always a need. Wouldn't it be amazing to keep a steady stream of food lining those shelves, just like people who can afford to go shopping do every week or so? I've shared two links in this post, one local and one national, where you can easily find out what it takes to get involved. Let this be a starting point, one that continues each month of every year. The need is great and it's present all year long.
Thank you for visiting Writing Tips today. I hope this post inspires you to get involved, either by donating, volunteering or writing a few blog posts to inspire others to get involved. Feeding the hungry isn't just a random act of charity. It's what we are called to do as citizens of the human race.
Thanks to my friend, Tina Downey, for helping me host this special blogfest!

Ms. PELOSI. I thank the gentleman for yielding, and I thank him for his great leadership on protecting American workers while promoting the global economy which we are proudly a part of.
Mr. Speaker, I rise today, as we consider the Colombia free trade agreement, to make the following statement:
Much has been said about this agreement creating 6,000 jobs in the United States--6,000 jobs. Now, we want to fight for every single job for the American people. But it is ironic or strange to hear a big fuss about we have to do this because it's going to create 6,000 jobs, when the leadership of this body is totally ignoring the fact that we are losing 1 million jobs--1 million jobs--because of the China currency bill.
When it was discussed that these bills would be brought to the floor, many of us said we shouldn't even be considering these bills: 6,000 for Colombia, perhaps 70,000 for Korea, maybe 1,000 for Panama, 77,000 jobs. That's significant if, in fact, those numbers really bear out. But let's assume they do for a moment.
We're making a big deal out of 77,000 jobs, which are a big deal. But how much bigger a deal is it to say we're ignoring the fact that we are losing over 1 million jobs per year because of the China manipulation of their currency?
The distinguished Speaker has said, if we push this bill, we will start a trade war with China. My, have I heard that song before. Many of us have been fighting for a better relationship with China in terms of our trade relationship, and for at least two decades we've been fighting for opening of our markets to China to stop the piracy of our intellectual property. The list goes on.
But this manipulation of currency, okay, the Speaker says we're going to start a trade war. Twenty years ago, when we started this debate, following Tiananmen Square, our trade deficit with China was $5 billion a year. We tried to use our leverage with most favored nation status to get the Chinese to open their markets, stop pirating our intellectual property, et cetera, and everybody said, if you do that, you will start a trade war. Just let the natural course of events take place.
Well, we didn't start a trade war. But do you know what China's surplus with the United States is today, what our deficit is with China? $5 billion a year two decades, 20 years ago when we fought this fight and lost. It's now $5 billion per week, over--more than $5 billion a week. Over a quarter of $1 trillion in surplus does the Chinese Government enjoy in their relationship with the United States.
So you're telling me that if we say, ``We want you to act fairly in terms of your currency,'' that they're going to give up a quarter of $1 trillion in surplus, much bigger exports to the United States, but in surplus.
This manipulation of currency is the subsidy of the Chinese Government for their products. By subsidizing their exports, they make it uncompetitive for us, not only in the U.S.-China bilateral trade relationship, but also in the global marketplace where we have to compete. Our exports have to compete with China's exports, and they have subsidized their exports on the manipulation of about 25 percent of their currency, 25 percent manipulation.
This is just not fair; a million U.S. jobs. So when our colleagues make a fuss about 6,000, every one of them is precious to us, yes, but why are we missing in action when it comes to a million jobs if 6,000 jobs are so important? And I agree, they are.
Last night in the Senate, they passed this legislation. They passed legislation to take action if China continues to manipulate their currency. We shouldn't even be talking about any trade bills until we do the same. They're not voting on Colombia, Korea, and Panama before they voted on China. They did that. They staked their claim for the American workers.
The Speaker says we're going to start a trade war. The Chinese Government started a war with America's manufacturing sector a long time ago. They've undervalued their currency, as I've said. They've violated intellectual property rights. They've subsidized target industry. They've dumped their products into our country. This is a one-way street to the disadvantage of American workers.
Look, many of us, when we grew up, we dug a hole in the sand at the beach and we said we were going to reach China if we were digging far enough, if we dug far enough. It's a country that we want to have a brilliant relationship with culturally, economically, politically, in every possible way, economically, too.
But when are we going to call a halt to something that is so obvious? We're talking about not an 800-pound gorilla, an 8-ton gorilla that is lying on the floor of this House that we want to ignore so we can talk about 6,000 jobs and 70,000 jobs, which are important. I don't want to minimize that. But why are you minimizing a million jobs at least that would be affected?
It's funny to me because when we were having the fight on most favored nation status for China, we were winning every vote; we just couldn't override the Presidential vetoes. And so they had to change the name. You've heard the expression, PNTR. Do you know what that means? It went from most favored nation, which they said that sounds--we can't win that argument, to permanent normal trade relations.
You know what that means? Surrender all your leverage in the trade relationship. Surrender because this is a permanent normal trade relationship. So when specific things come up like the manipulation of currency--and, by the way, other Asian economies peg their currency to China's currency; so we're getting an onslaught of this. It's really, really important for us to say: Whom are we here for? Whom are we representing?
We have a Make It In America agenda to grow and to strengthen our industrial and manufacturing base in our country. Exports are essential to our success economically. Small businesses are essential to the success of our economy. Small businesses want to export as well. But why are we saying to small business people, to our industrial workers and to our manufacturing base, you are now going to go into an arena which we have subscribed to that makes you engage in an unfair relationship because we will not speak out against this manipulation of currency?
Sixty-one Republicans are cosponsors of the bill. It has bipartisan support. The Senate has passed the bill overwhelmingly with bipartisan support. They took it up first as a premise planting a flag, staking a claim for the American worker before they went on to consider other trade agreements. Why can't we do that in the House? I think we should call a halt to voting on any of these things until we say to the American worker, we're on your side. We're on your side when it comes to these trade agreements.
We recognize that trade is very important to us. President Kennedy is part of the legacy of all of us here talking about America as important in the world economy and free trade. Fair trade, I like to think, is part of that. But after 20 years of violations of our intellectual property, subsidizing their projects--the list goes on and on--we just sit by and say we're going to start a trade war if we do something about the war on America's manufacturers that the Chinese already have done.
Remember, 20 years ago, they made the same claims, $5 billion a year. How did that work out for us? Today, $5 billion a week at least. So the Chinese are going to walk away from a quarter of a trillion dollars in profits? I don't think so. Let's stop riding that tiger. Let's do the right thing for our workers. Let's not even consider any of these trade agreements.
Since we're talking about Colombia, I want to say the following. I really wanted very much to be able to vote for this legislation. I was very hopeful when the two governments, Colombia and the U.S., negotiated the U.S.-Colombian action plan related to labor rights. They addressed labor concerns to start the process of ending the abuses. But that didn't happen. The administration was advocating for this, but the leadership in the Congress said, no, and leadership in this House said no, we're not going to put language in the bill, the language that the two governments negotiated to address the labor concerns. If it's not in the bill, it doesn't exist. If we're going to implement this action plan, it has to be part of the legislation, or else we're just saying it's an incidental, it's something on the side. That's not fair to the workers in Colombia or to the workers in the United States.
So when the commitment made by our government and Colombia to each other was not included in the bill, I lost my faith in the legislation. I hope that today we can get a vote on China's manipulation of currency, get a Colombia free-trade agreement that can work for Colombian workers and U.S. workers, and get a trade policy that recognizes that it's a competitive world. We intend to be number one, we intend to be innovative, and we intend to educate our workforce so that our entrepreneurial spirit can prevail. It could be a very exciting time--something new and something fresh, instead of reverting to the same old same old ways.
So I urge my colleagues to urge the leadership of this House to take up the China currency bill before we consider any other trade bills.

Ok, this is really cool!
YouTube - Space Shuttle Launch view from commercial flight!
Pretty amazing.
It would've been better if that guy kept his mouth shut. Very cool video though.
Dude....I can do without the play by play from surfer dad.......Dya think he really talks that way, or is that just cool daddy camera voice? Koo Koo Cachoo little Braa!
That thing is moving.
Almost as good as from a Parachute

Holy Smokes. Can you see it? Holy smokes. Can you see it?
"Holyyyyyyyy ****"
Holy Smokes...look at how fast it is going.....Holy Smokes.....
Fully maaaaaaan
I was always partial to the SRB cameras myself...
[ame=http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=NLpwSePce60]YouTube - NASA" STS-124 SRB Camera[/ame]
I saw Atlantis in person back in '89 or so. This video does not give the speed of the takeoff justice. It goes up incredibly fast.
My father was lucky enough to catch a space shuttle launch from a commercial flight quite a few years ago.
I thought it was that at first but I think it's a "Canadian accent"...
We were lucky enough to be in Florida for a shuttle launch, if anyone gets a chance I would highly recommend it. We were 5 miles away with mostly water between us and the launch pad. What was amazing was how the water started shaking before you heard anything. Plus every bird in the area took off at the same time. It was kind of surreal.
You know, you can play videos without the audio. :smile:
I can remember when the Challenger exploded. I just can't watch a shuttle take off without thinking of that tragedy.

Rosicky to face Germany
By Robin Hackett
Last Updated: 01/01/70 1:00am
Karel Bruckner says Tomas Rosicky will play in his country's clash against Germany.
Czech Republic coach Karel Bruckner says Tomas Rosicky will play in his country's clash against Germany on 24th March, despite having missed the last three weeks with a groin strain.
Bruckner believes the 26-year-old is ready to return for Arsenal and has no doubts about the midfielder recovering in time for the Euro 2008 clash.
"Tomas Rosicky should play in the Premier League on Wednesday and he will play against Germany as well," he said.
But Bruckner did concede that there is still time to make changes if Rosicky or any other players are ruled out through injury.
"We still have some names to add to the nomination. We have various alternatives. The squad is not necessarily the final one."

Reginald D Hunter: Some People V Reginald D Hunter at Orchard Theatre
He may have been born in Georgia, US, but Britain has taken this American stand-up to their hearts, following a string of hilarious panel show appearances, including Mock The Week to 8 Out Of 10 Cats. With wry cultural and political observations and hard-hitting humour, the joker pulls no punches in a show which is side-splitingly funny, but definitely not for the easily-offended.

It really is time to move on
FIANNA Fail have an old trick which they like to deploy in the immediate wake of a blunder, usually within a day or two. The issue, they say, has been settled. We must focus on matters of greater importance. Time to move on.
In recent times their Green partners have adopted the same tactic. The Green leader and Environment Minister, John Gormley, showed his mastery of it yesterday in the latest chapter of the controversy which has followed Taoiseach Brian Cowen's unfortunate radio interview last Tuesday.
Sadly for Mr Gormley, not all his ministerial colleagues share his attitude. Still less do the Fianna Fail backbenchers share it. It is not too much to describe their mood, when they think of their chances at the next general election, as one of panic. And that of the grassroots, for all their genuine and long-held affection for Mr Cowen, is close to dismay. In short, the question of the Taoiseach's future just will not go away. His own party, at every level, has begun to doubt whether he can ever restore his authority and credibility.

That is Marina Orlova… She is a fine example of Geekery at it's finest! Marina Orlova is a philologist (one who studies linguistics and etymology) it's amazing what she does really…
Anyway here is my point, I'm a geek, nerd, dork whatever you want to call it! I'm an anime loving, video game playing, RPG pwning, reading a book in my spare time kinda person. Yes I like to learn an take the time to find interests of other people, yes the sci-fi channel is my favorite channel. Don't ask me why they changed it to sy fy because I don't get either! Maybe l like history a little too much, maybe science tickles my fancy, I mean come on baking is my thing and it's a science people. Maybe I want to learn elvish and make it my official language and maybe
I can totally pwn at dungeons and dragons on a Saturday night… I mean I guess that's how I end up drinking in the shower. I Like zombies and the apocalypse is going to happen… I like werewolves and monster types and also vampires… I mean that's enough about me and why I'm a nerd it's not like I want to marry batman or anything… GEEKERY AT IT'S FINEST!
Now, now ladies and dudes if your not a geek but you are dating Geekery at its finest here are some lovely dating tips:
Guys, flowers can be kinda boring, considering they die. Chocolate can be cool but it makes us ladies fatties. Just think outside of the box!
1. Plan a board game night. Consider the interests, and find a few board games that are compatible. Then let them choose which ones to play. Make sure you find ones that work well with two players.
2. Plan a trip to somewhere new and that exercises the brain. On a small budget, go to a museum or nature preserve. If the budget allows, think bigger or more crazy. Go somewhere that makes discussion (though not argument). You're creating memories that you'll always be able to share.
3.Be able to have interesting conversations on any topic. Doesn't mean that you have to be an expert in everything, but be willing to discuss unusual topics. Know nothing about oh let's say The planet Jupiter? Be willing to have them teach you what she knows, and ask relevant questions. If you try to learn something new each day, you'll always have something new to talk about.
4. Be able to make time appropriate jokes. It's always super fun when you and your significant other are the only ones in the room who get the joke.
5.Give unusual flowers. If your geeky girl loves flowers anyway, don't go for the conventional roses. Choose something unusual or personal. Choose by color, by source or find something related to your history together.
6.Learn about what your significant other enjoys. Consider their interests. You love shoot-em-up video games, she likes puzzle games. Give her games a try some of the time. She'll give you points for the attempt. This also holds true for movies, books, restaurants and other activities. Chances are that she'll reciprocate and try out some of your interests. You both may learn to like some new things.
7.Learn to cook a variety of dishes. Some people are able to make one dish that is always a awesome, but if you're going to go on more than one date, or have a long term relationship, knowing how to cook a variety of dishes is always important even if your significant other likes to cook also. Staples like spaghetti or macaroni and cheese, pb&j are great for later, but at this point, try for something a little more hard to make. You get brownie points for pairing the meal with an awesome wine or other fancy beverage (sparkling apple cider, sparkling white grape juice or higher end root beer work very well for the non-drinkers).
8.Be able to honestly express how you feel. Showing how you feel is very important, but it is equally important to say the words. Geeky people are often more introspective than average, and can often articulate how they feel or what they want. It is important to be able to reciprocate.
9. Leave a little mystery. While geeky people love to learn all about your interesting personality, it always helps to leave a little bit of mystery to keep them wanting more. Just make sure it's not suspicious mystery, that could backfire!
Throughout it all, remember this: Geeks like to think. They like to be with people who think, especially those that have plenty of mind boggling conversations. Appeal to their intellect by displaying yours, but respect and cultivate their intellect in the process. Your efforts will be rewarded!

Sky Sports News HQ journalist Kavel Solhekol has taken to Twitter to update Manchester United supporters on their club's interest in the Sweden international.
As recently as Friday, The Daily Mirror published a report suggesting that the Red Devils were on the brink of signing Lindelof in a £38m deal in the January transfer window.
However, Solhekol has now claimed that the Red Devils have cooled their interest in the centre-half and Serie A giants Inter Milan have entered the race for the Swede's signature.
Solhekol tweeted:
Manchester United not interested in signing Victor Lindelof from Benfica at the moment. Inter Milan interested
— Kaveh Solhekol (@SkyKaveh) January 9, 2017
Manchester United signed Ivory Coast international Eric Bailly in a £30m deal from La Liga side Villarreal in the summer transfer window as the defender became the first signing of the Jose Mourinho era at Old Trafford.

Delighted Louis Ludik's new deal will benefit Ulster and Ireland
Perhaps the painful outcome of colliding with Bundee Aki has been slightly eased for Louis Ludik after being granted a three-year contract extension to stay on at Ulster.
The South African, who is currently recovering after fracturing his cheekbone in that collision with Aki - in what was the first defeat of the season to Connacht at the start of the month - will now be with the province until the summer of 2020, which is also significant as he becomes Irish-qualified after the end of this season.
The new deal means that Ludik - who can play wing, centre or full-back - should find himself becoming part of the national set-up next autumn with his versatility likely to bring him very much into the reckoning for selection.
Ludik has also been in notably great form but, thanks to the cheekbone which required surgery, he will now have to sit things out until the end of next month before being able to pull on an Ulster shirt again.
The 30-year-old was originally signed from French club Agen as an overseas player in 2014, but last season was granted an extension by the IRFU which involved having his status revised to that of 'project player' who would qualify to represent Ireland after three years.
"I feel so blessed and it's really amazing," the former Sharks player said.
"Last year I signed a one-year deal and this year they've offered me another deal so I'm extremely delighted.
"I didn't think twice about saying yes and I'm really fortunate to stay here for a few years longer.
"It's an amazing club so I'm really looking forward to it and I'm thrilled to be extending my stay at Ulster. Myself and my family feel very much at home here.
"Everything about Ulster Rugby is first class; the stadium, the training facilities, the players and coaches, the medical care and the supporters.
"There is a brilliant vibe amongst the squad and everyone is working hard to try to achieve success this season.
"Once I return to fitness, I'm looking forward to contributing to the team this season and for the following three years."
As for his current predicament, Ludik described having to go under the knife after shipping the injury in Galway.
"I've had surgery and they put in two plates to put it (the cheekbone) back in place. It's not that painful, it's just very uncomfortable," he said.
Ulster's Director of Rugby, Les Kiss, said: "Keeping Louis is a major boost for us.
"He is an outstanding guy who gives 100 per cent to the cause and adds so much value both on and off the pitch.
"He is a great influence on the squad and does some great work in the local community.
"His form at the start of this season has been absolutely brilliant and I'm looking forward to seeing him deliver for us over the next few years."
Meanwhile, Ulster Rugby will be out in force to pay their respects to Munster boss Anthony Foley, who passed away at the weekend, in the lead-up to tomorrow's funeral with players, coaches and officials travelling to Killaloe in Co Clare.

Podcast Episode #20: "Greater" by Mercy Me
This song leads us straight to 1 John 4:4 where God's Word tells us, "The One Who is in you is greater than the one who is in the world." I discuss the evil one who is in the world and his agenda, but I counter it with a discussion of who you are in Christ and the power that is in you because He makes His home in us.
Podcast Episode #22: "Wake" by Hillsong
This song leads us to a variety of Scriptures that encourage us to wake up spiritually, walk in obedience with wisdom and let Christ shine in us…with joy and passion! Dance along with this energetic song full of Scriptural truth and allow Christ to "wake within" you!
Podcast Episode #38: "Just Say Jesus" by 7eventh Time Down
This song leads us to Acts 4 where the apostles accomplished great things in the name of Jesus. We have the authority of God Himself when we act in the name of Jesus. The enemy is still using the same tactic as the Jewish leaders in Acts 4 when he tries to limit the use of the name of Jesus, thereby limiting its influence. So let's join in with 7eventh Time Down and "Just Say Jesus" in our circumstances.

On this episode, you will be guided through an exercise to answer for yourself, "What makes God MY good, good, Father?" Then we jump into Psalm 18 and discover many amazing characteristics of God that we can incorporate into our daily prayer, praise and gratitude for our Heavenly Father.
Podcast Episode #63: "First" by Lauren Daigle
Putting first things first is a solid habit in life. Did you know this habit started with God? This episode leads us to understand how important "first" is to God. Brothers Cain and Abel in Genesis 4 give us a great example of "giving some" versus "giving the best of our first." On this episode I give practical tips on giving the "best of our first" as it relates to our commitment to God's Word.

Lancaster County Council met with York County Council last week to discuss possibilities for a future extension of Dave Lyle Boulevard.
At the meeting at the Baxter Hood Center in Rock Hill, council members listened to several studies involving the potential construction of an extension to Dave Lyle Boulevard.
The extension would provide a link between Interstate 77 and U.S. 521 as an alternate route south of Charlotte.

Since we have agreed that the Community will own all buildings and land, we agree also that the Community will have primary responsibility for and final say on the design and location of buildings, the use of sustainable materials and building practices, landscaping, and other planning associated with building a home. We recognize the importance of appropriate housing that fits an individual's or family's needs, and so as much as possible without compromising the appropriateness of the building and its possible future uses, we will try to construct homes that meet prospective residents' preferences and requirements.
We also recognize the passion that many members feel towards the creation of their own home. Therefore we welcome the involvement of the planned occupants of a new home in the building group's design process. The future occupants are welcome to contribute as much or as little as they wish to the design process. In all cases, the building group will be available to share the experience of the community in designing and building, as well as to ensure that community agreements and intentions around building are considered.

A reduction in the maximum daily intake for men to the same level for women is also expected to be announced by chief medical officer Dame Sally Davies, the Daily Mail said.
The report will say there is no "safe" alcohol limit and even drinking small amounts could cause illnesses including cancer.
Dame Sally has been leading a review into the current NHS guidance on alcohol, which was established more than 20 years ago.
The current guidelines say men should not drink more than three to four units a day - up to 21 units or less per week - while women should drink no more than two to three units a day, or 14 units a week.
Since the review was launched in 2012, scientific research has emerged suggesting abstaining from alcohol could help prevent serious illness, particularly later on in life.
A recent University College London study found patients who gave up for four weeks saw benefits for their liver function, blood pressure and cholesterol levels and were also at lower risk of developing diabetes and liver disease.
And a report by the National Institute for Health and Clinical Excellence (NICE) said experts warned middle-aged people should be told there is "no safe level of alcohol consumption".
The proposed guidelines will be published later this month.
A Department of Health spokeswoman said: "The chief medical officer, with advice from a group of independent experts, has reviewed current drinking guidelines.
"The proposals will be published in the New Year."

Commercial Apron Service
The thing is – I don't care a bit about fancy, but I do want to enjoy my unique, delicious meal in a clean environment. When a server shows up at my table with stains on their uniform, or I see a disgusting towel being used to clean a table, my appetite immediately disappears.
I cook a lot – really, and everything is from scratch. There's no such thing as cutting corners in my kitchen. I always wear an apron when I cook, so I know, just in my own personal kitchen, how difficult it can be to remove food stains. To clean commercial towels and aprons, it takes more than just spraying on some grocery-store spotter and then throwing them into the washing machine. Commercial towels and aprons are subjected not only to incredibly difficult stains but to a lot of them. It takes experience, skill, and the right supplies and equipment to restore these types of linens back to their like-new condition.
There's so much involved with running a restaurant – from ordering food and supplies to managing wait staff to cooking food and handling customers, it can be a bit overwhelming. Why would you want to add uniform, commercial apron, and towel cleaning to all of that? Not only can A Cleaner World Commercial Services lighten the load for your restaurant so that you can concentrate on the parts of the business you enjoy, we can also help improve your restaurant's image. Just imagine your servers arriving at customer's tables with a clean, smooth uniform or apron, and your busboys using fresh, clean, sanitized, stain-free towels to wipe tables. Not only will items look clean, they'll be clean thanks to our state-of-the-art cleaning process which includes washing in bacteria destroying hot water temperatures and adding bleach to rinse cycles to guarantee cleanliness and safety. Restaurants that use A Cleaner World Commercial Services are definitely 'Barb approved'; Matt would have no trouble convincing me to eat at one of those places.
If your restaurant needs help caring for uniforms, commercial aprons, and towels, just call Scottie Springer at 870-6299 or 992-0700 to find out how our service can help you.

rssHugger · Increase RSS Subscribers with rssHugger's Blog Promoting
rssHugger is a unique website that aims to bring bloggers and readers together.
In a unique marketing plan (although very much in keeping with the ethos of the company), the registration fee for a permanent rss feed on their rssHugger is waived for those bloggers who review their website on their blog! If you do not want to talk about rssHugger on your blog, there is an alternative - simply pay a $20 review fee, which ultimately runs down to only $2 per year!
In their own words.
rssHugger aims to provide blog owners with a unique easy-to-use way to promote their blogs by sending them traffic, building backlinks for search engine optimization, as well as attracting new rss subscribers if the content is interesting to the reader. rssHugger aims to help visitors be able to easily find blogs that write about subjects they are interested in. These subjects include: internet marketing, making money online, charity, sports, gambling, and many more. If the visitors find a blog that they had not previously heard about, they can easily add it to their RSS readers or
bookmark it.
My view.
I think they are on to a winner. The bloggers promote rssHugger which, in turn, promotes the blog. It is a self-fulfilling cycle. Best of luck to Colin LaHay (the founder). If you are a blogger, drop by and check it out. If you are interested in reading blogs, you can find some real gems in here that a search engine might not track down.
The Experiment.
Right now, my blog has zero traffic. Mostly because I tend to post items I find on the net rather than create new content - this is due to laziness - and I don't do much self promotion. Let's see what rssHugger can do for my traffic. I will post on my birthday next month and report the increased traffic created by this association with rssHugger.

An international initiative is developing a scientifically rigorous approach to evaluate the potential risks to nontarget arthropods (NTAs) posed by insect-resistant, genetically modified (IRGM) crops. It adapts the tiered approach to risk assessment that is used internationally within regulatory toxicology and environmental sciences. The approach focuses on the formulation and testing of clearly stated risk hypotheses, making maximum use of available data and using formal decision guidelines to progress between testing stages (or tiers). It is intended to provide guidance to regulatory agencies that are currently developing their own NTA risk assessment guidelines for IRGM crops and to help harmonize regulatory requirements between different countries and different regions of the world.

Q: I don't want to spend a lot of money, can I still get great photos?
A: You get what you pay for. If your brother's wife's cousin does your photos for free, your photos will look like your brother's wife's cousin did them for free.
Q: Do you deliver every image you shoot?
A: No. I eliminate duplicate images, test shots, shots with bad expressions (those half-blink ones are my fav) and shots of my foot (I tend to do that).
Q: Does your studio provide videography services?
A: At the moment, no – but stay tuned. For now I'd be happy to recommend some excellent video teams I've worked with.
Q: Have you shot at my venue before?
A: I've shot at many venues, so there's a reasonably good chance that I have. However, if not, I always get to the venue either beforehand or early on the wedding day to do a walk-through to scout the best photography locations. I also do extensive online research prior – Google and I are tight.
Q: Do you do destination Weddings? What additional fees are associated with destination weddings?
A: While I'm based in Severn, Ontario, Canada – I'm happy to travel all around the world. Switzerland, Italy, Hawaii and our very own Canadian Rockies and Newfoundland are on my bucket list hint hint. Learn more about my destination wedding investment here.
Q: Which photographer will be shooting my wedding?
A: Me. While I bring an assistant and sometimes a second photographer – I'm the lead shooter for all of my weddings.
Q: Do you provide partial day coverage?
A: Generally I don't provide partial day coverage on weekends. For weekends I only accept clients that require at least 8 hours of coverage. Read my wedding day timeline post which goes in depth explaining the amounts of time typically required for each portion of a wedding day.
Q: Do you do head shots, lifestyle portraits, sports, family portraits, other types of photography?
A: Yes, I have experience in many fields of photography. Feel free to contact me.
Q: What is your photography style?
A: I'm known for developing a unique style of wedding photography with a photojournalism base. I love creative lighting, unique angles, compositions and artistic post production to highlight our clients personalities. I pride myself on pushing the envelope in exploring new and creative avenues to create one of a kind images.
Q: Can I see a full event from start to finish?
A: For sure you may! It's good to see what a photographer can produce over the course of an entire day – not just a small selection of their best work. See my post on finding a wedding photographer here.
Q: Do you edit all the images?
A: Yes I do. Every image I deliver is post produced with my unique signature style. This involves color correction, exposure adjustment, selective black and white processing, clarity adjustments and other corrections. Many photographers will do little to no post production – or will only post produce "select" images from your wedding. This can lead to pictures that are too dark, have strange skin tones or other common flaws.
Q: Do you shoot in JPG or RAW?
A: RAW. This leaves me with maximum flexibility in post production. Once editing is complete I convert all the images to JPG format for you.
Q: How many hours do you suggest I set aside for wedding day photos?
A: Take a look at my sample wedding photography timeline to see a detailed breakdown of how much time to set aside for your wedding photos.
Q: What happens if I go over the contracted coverage time?
A: I understand that not everything goes as planned during a Wedding. I never pack up before the contracted time; and moreover I'm certainly not leaving on the dot when my contracted coverage is up. Instead, I will ask you at the end of your contracted time whether or not you would like to extend. If you would like me to stay, additional hours are $250 unless otherwise specified and I'll round to the nearest 30 minutes.
Q: Why do I need to charge for additional coverage?
A: I've dedicated the entire day to your wedding, so I won't be racing off to catch up with other plans that evening. However, I need to charge for additional coverage primarily due to compensating my second shooters and assistants. Also, the additional photos taken will need to be post processed which adds to my overall costs.
Check out my engagement photo session FAQ here.
Q: How are our images delivered to us following shoot/wedding?
A: Your images are delivered via your online Gallery. From your Gallery you can download individual photos or the entire set of images easily straight to your computer. From your Gallery you can also order prints and canvases – as a client of mine, you have direct access to my professional lab that will ship your prints and artwork straight to your door. Your online Gallery is designed to make everything simple and seamless for you and your family!
Q: How long does it take to get my prints?
A: Product times vary – however print orders will generally be completed within 1-2 weeks after the order is submitted. If you need the order quicker – additional fees for rush processing & shipping will apply.
Q: How long does it take to get my wedding album and/or guest book?
A: Production times vary – however you can generally expect to receive your album 3-5 weeks after placing the final order. The album approval process takes place prior to placing the order. I design the album then provide you with a digital copy to review and make any changes. Once you've approved the final draft the order is placed. Rush orders are available – additional fees for rush processing & shipping will apply.
Q: How many pages and images do we get in our wedding album?
A: My signature album contains 30 pages and approx. 50-70 images. If you'd like to fatten your album by adding more pages and images, each additional spread (1 spread = 2 pages) can be added at an additional cost which includes the design time and revisions.
Q: What rights do I have to the digital prints?
A: You have the right to reprint the images as often as you'd like. However you may not sell the images for profit or publish your images without the written consent of Vaughn Barry Photography.
Q: Do you provide the RAW files from my engagement or wedding?
A: Each of my wedding collections come with full resolution image downloads in JPG format. However, I do not provide RAW (unprocessed) files from my shoots because I believe in delivering only the finished product. Read more about why I do not provide raw files to clients here.
Q: Am I able to pay with my credit card?
A: No, when email transfer fell from the heavens the unsavory credit card and PayPal fees bit the dust. E-transfers make life so much easier!
Q: Do you backup our images? How can I ensure that our images won't be lost?
A: I've never lost an image from a Wedding due to the following backup measures:
I shoot with professional camera bodies complete with dual card slots meaning every shot I take is recorded on the primary card and immediately backed up to the secondary card. When I arrive home from a wedding, the cards are backed up once again to my primary hard drive and then again to an external drive.
Q: Do you have liability insurance?
A: Yes. Many venues require the photographer to have Liability Insurance. So before hiring Uncle Bob, make sure he's covered.
Q: I don't live in the area and won't be able to meet in person. Are there any other options?
A: I would love to meet with you in person however, if it's not possible we can do everything remotely via video chat – technology's a beautiful thing. In fact, many of my destination wedding couples are from the east and west coast as well as the USA – these meetings are done via video chat or phone.
Q: Do you travel to meet clients?
A: Due to the limitations of my schedule, I currently do not travel to meet clients. If you'd like to schedule a meeting, we can meet via video chat or phone call. However, if you're able to meet in Orillia, I'm always up for a good cup of coffee.
Q: How do I reserve you for my date?
A: All dates are reserved once I receive your signed contract and retainer.
Q: How are the payments structured for local Canadian weddings?
A: Your local wedding package payments are broken down into three parts:
- 30% retainer to secure your date
- Additional 30% is then due 6 months prior to the wedding
- Final balance is due 3 weeks before the wedding
Q: How are the payments structured for destination weddings?
A: Destination wedding package payments are broken down into three parts:
- 30% retainer to secure your date
- Additional 30% is then due 6 months prior to the wedding
- Final balance is due 3 months before the wedding. Why so soon? I have to get my travel itinerary in place and book my trip.
Q: What if I exceed our contracted time for our engagement shoot and/or Wedding day coverage?
A: Additional hours are $250/hour each.
Q: Do you charge for travel for weddings?
A: In my typical coverage area (Muskoka, Barrie, Collingwood) I do not charge for my travel. However, outside of my typical area I charge $55/hr.
Q: If I cancel the wedding, will I receive our retainer back?
A: Unfortunately no. Retainers are used to block off your date on my schedule meaning I turn away all future work for that date.

Of the three different models in Scion's new Canadian lineup, the xB is arguably the most evocative and memorable.
As well as standing out in a crowd, it was - when it was introduced in the United States - the first vehicle to embody the "hip to be square" body style now found in models like the Honda Element, Kia Soul and Nissan Cube.
But first, a few words about Scion in Canada.
Although Toyota introduced this division in the U.S. eight years ago, it's only just now making its way into the Great White North.
There are two main reasons for the delay, according to Toyota. First, it wanted to see how things went in the U.S. before it introduced Scion to the relatively small Canadian market. Second, the Generation Y-ers who are the primary target for these vehicles apparently hadn't reached their full demographic potential in Canada by 2002.
And, third, Toyota didn't want to go through all the effort of setting up dealerships, building an advertising campaign, bringing in service personnel and all the rest to address a market that might not be there to begin with. As it turned out, it worried needlessly. To date, the company has sold more than 700,000 of its Scion models in the U.S., and those Generation Y-ers that the company has been courting so assiduously have responded enthusiastically and positively. And just to clarify: apparently, a Generation Y-er is not the same as an echo-boomer. Different groups, different sensibilities.
Whatever they're called, in Canada, that market is a little tougher. Apparently, Gen Y-ers in this neck of the woods aren't predisposed to buy cars in the first place, and many are still content to ride their bicycles or skim along on skateboards. They do not see cars as a necessity, and public transit suits many Gen Y-ers just fine. Plus, they have "notoriously" bad credit, and just haven't jumped onto the consumer bandwagon with the same gusto as their parents. Toyota concedes that Y-ers are a tough crowd to sell a car to.
The other big question that lingers is: why not sell Scion models with a Toyota badge? Surely, its current troubles notwithstanding, Toyota has one of the most enviable reputations in the business and a car with Toyota stamped on it is usually a guarantee of success.
Again, it's about the demographics. Toyota's marketing mavens reckon that if their parents buy something, then Generation Y won't have anything to do with it. The last thing in the world they want to be seen driving is a Camry or Corolla.
But back to the xB. This is a functional mobile box with four doors and a hatchback, and is powered by a 2.4-litre four-cylinder with either a five-speed manual or four-speed automatic transmission. It does not have an all-wheel-drive option, and the back seats fold down flat. The one-piece rear tailgate swings up to reveal almost 308 litres of cargo volume and the xB is utilitarian without being bleak.
Although it's aimed at physically active Gen Y-ers, the xB bound to appeal to anyone that needs to move stuff or people on a regular basis. When Honda introduced its Element, a few years back, it too was ostensibly aimed at active Y-ers who cycled, surfed, boarded and skated as part of their lifestyle. It ended up being the vehicle of choice for aging baby boomers and garage-sale trolling grannies, and the xB, despite Toyota's marketing insights, may enjoy the same fate.
But what's interesting about the xB is the pricing structure. According to Toyota - er, make that Scion - the price quoted by the company is all-in, and includes standard features such as air conditioning, cruise control, power door locks, tilt-telescoping steering, power windows with one-touch up/down feature on the driver's side, Bluetooth, and a full whack of safety features. Apparently, there are no options and what you see is what you get.
However, you can also order leather interior with heated front seats, an engine block heater, upgraded stereo, rorty exhaust, glitzy 18-inch alloy wheels, lowering kit, heavy-duty clutch and so on. These extras, however, are classed as accessories, not options. You say tomato, I say tomatoe. Base price for the 4A model I drove is $18,270, with another $1,020 for the automatic transmission.
A few observations about the xB. First up, assembly quality is first-rate (like all Scions, the xB is made in Japan), performance is nimble and agile, there is good peripheral visibility, and the xB delivers decent, but not exceptional, fuel economy: 9.5 litres/100 km in the city, and 7.2 on the highway for both the manual and automatic transmission versions. I drove the autobox, and found the power delivery to be a little on the snatchy side, but this is a lively automobile -to a point.
And at just more than 18 large to start, it's a lot of car for the money. That's something that transcends all demographic categories.
