My period has never been regular except when I was on the pill. I haven't been on the pill for quite some time and I'm currently 21 days late. I have been late before but I don't think I've ever been this late. I don't really have any symptoms except for the occasional slight nausea (which is normal for me anyway). I took a pregnancy test this morning and it was negative. Is it possible the home test gave a false negative or is that fairly unlikely given that I'm already 3 weeks late and have no symptoms? #2Posted 16 March 2012 - 04:37 PM
Anything is possible so really a blood test from your GP is the best way to get quick answers.
Unfortunately when it happened to me it was just a really long cycle and AF ended up coming quite late. You can get false positives on HPTs but with your AF being 3 weeks late I would imagine that would be fairly rare. #3Posted 17 March 2012 - 08:39 AM
Do you know when you O'd? You possibly O'd later in your cycle, which would mean that your not late, just having a longer cycle than normal.
If your cycles are mostly irregular, then you should start charting & using OPK's so you know for sure when you O & how long your LP is. Good Luck. #4Posted 17 March 2012 - 08:51 AM
If you have irregular periods, I would be visiting my GP to have a chat about it.
My only other advice is to test first thing in the morning. I was late and kept testing in the evenings with neg results. One morning, as an afterthought, we figured we may as well use the last test "just to check" as we were planning on drinking that night...and it was positive Edited by ChiaraB, 17 March 2012 - 08:51 AM. #5Posted 19 March 2012 - 08:51 AM
Thanks all, I'm actually not ttc but this seemed to be a good place for advice.
I'm not sure when I o'd and the test I took was first thing in the morning so it's most likely correct I'd say. But it looks like I have missed that period altogether. I'm due for the next one this week so if it doesn't show up either I'll be heading to the doctor to see what is going on.

Worse, no one seems to want to do something about it

Aakash Chopra : India's selectors pick populism over vision
News : Yuvraj named in T20 squad, Rohit dropped from Test team Players/Officials:
Piyush Chawla
| Ishant Sharma
India's recent team selections have been a lot like the Indian finance minister's recent budget speeches. Much was expected, much was possible, a new road map could have been put in place (as the business channels would have put it) but you got the feeling that, like Pranab Mukherjee, Krishnamachari Srikkanth was saying goodbye too. This was a handover selection, one characterised by leaving the big decisions to someone else. It happens in public life all the time, though, doesn't it?
Not taking a stance can be harmful. Teams, like economies, cannot plod along at a barely acceptable rate of growth. If India want to be No. 1 again (and I am assuming that that objective isn't gathering dust somewhere) then you need to take bold steps. Part of that is making a place in the Indian team aspirational, not something that you turn up after a break and find waiting for you.
That is why, for all of Ishant Sharma's innate ability, he should have been made to prove that he is ready to play; he ought to have done the hard yards, run through a Ranji Trophy team, and then forced the selectors to look at him. He hasn't played a game for months, has had surgery, and as everyone knows, you don't prove your match fitness by turning up for a couple of practice games. Worse still, how were the selectors convinced that he earns a place even at full fitness? His last year-odd has produced 21 wickets from 11 games at an average of 68 in largely helpful conditions. In terms of experience, with 45 Tests he is now only next to Kapil Dev, Zaheer Khan and Javagal Srinath, and has played more Tests than some of India's greats. The message going out to a young man who is desperately short of fulfilling his undoubted promise is that the team is just waiting for him to be fit and that they really can't do without him. Ishant himself would have been far better served fighting his way back. It's a poor selection. And we haven't even come to Piyush Chawla yet.
Chawla had a decent IPL at best, and stumbled when the pressure rose. You would need an advocate of great skill to win his case to be in the T20 side; and, to be honest, he would struggle to find someone to take on the job in the case of Test cricket. As Aakash Chopra - a sane voice India should use more - points out, Chawla took 27 wickets in first class cricket last year at 40.62 per wicket. It is like setting the bar to one metre to pick a high jump team. I don't even remember seeing his name in an India A team recently.
If this is the best bowling team India can pick, I would like the BCCI to get into an emergency meeting and appoint detectives to search for bowlers. I had thought all along that India's cupboard was thinly stocked. I can now announce that it is officially bare. There are no bowlers in India. We had anticipated this but didn't think the day would come so quickly.
I don't know what is worse, the absence of bowlers in India or the absence of any intent at all in looking for them. I keep coming back to what an organisation's priorities are. The BCCI is a well-evolved, financially savvy body. The IPL, and for that matter most cricket in India, is fairly efficiently organised, and the legal and financial acumen is outstanding. Look how quickly they moved to tackle a huge potential problem with the Deccan Chargers.
But there is a major fire raging around Indian cricket and I do not see anyone rushing to do anything about it. There are just no spinners, and the new-ball bowlers, like seasonal flowers, wither away, never to return. If Indian cricket has thrown up Sreesanth, RP Singh, Munaf Patel, Praveen Kumar, Varun Aaron, Ashish Nehra and Parwinder Awana, it means new-ball bowlers exist; but the mortality rates are too high. Currently the only people worried about that seem to be columnists! Indian cricket needs the alacrity shown on issues like television rights and franchise defaults to apply in areas like nurturing bowling as well. Without that, the No. 1 spot will never return.
There are many other issues. The A team tours, thoughtful in theory, are being marred by roulette-style selections. I do not believe any country can have more than 25 players capable of playing at the highest level; even that is a stretch. The best 15 should be in the national side and the next 15 on A tours, and it stays that way till someone comes to knock the door down. But there is no pattern at the moment, or if there is, it is a deeply complex code that none of us can crack.
By end 2013, India may be without the services of some or all of Sachin Tendulkar, VVS Laxman, Zaheer Khan, Virender Sehwag and MS Dhoni. If three of those remain, India should be happy, but it also means that replacement players must start finding their feet around now. Maybe that is for a new set of selectors to do. Whoever they are, I would love to sneak in and look at their notepads for a things-to-do list. I greatly fear I know what I would find on it.

Mortgage Relief
Arizona Republic real estate reporter Catherine Reagor explains how a new federal mortgage relief plan could help more Arizona borrowers refinance their upside-down home loans.
Catherine Reagor - Real Estate Reporter,Arizona Republic
federal mortgage relief plan
View Transcript
Ted Simons: This week President Obama announced plans to help more borrowers refinance their upside down home loans. Here to talk about that is Catherine Reagor, she's a real estate reporter for "The Arizona Republic." It's always good to have you on. We finally got you on for some pretty encouraging news.
Catherine Reagor: Yes. I had heard rumors and speculation about this, and this is not the loan modification, this is the refinancing, where people who have done pretty much everything right, they just owe more than their house is worth because of all the foreclosures and short sales and drop in home sales and they're going to be able to refinance. They're lifting the cap.
Ted Simons: The cap was, if it was 125% of home value.
Catherine Reagor: That meant you had to be just 25% under water. And our home values have dropped 65%. So that doesn't help a lot of people.
Ted Simons: This is the home affordable refinancing program updated after it is already been updated once before.
Catherine Reagor: Called HARP. And they use that acronym, but it's called HARP. At first it was 105%. And then it went to 125%, but since 2009 when they announced it home prices have dropped more. So they are lifting the cap. Your 200% underwater, which some people are, and you qualify, Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac loan, which --
Ted Simons: That's a requirement; it has to be backed by Fannie and Freddie?
Catherine Reagor: Yes. And most conforming loans are. If you have a jumbo loan, no. The limit for a Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac loan in metro Phoenix has never been more than 500,000. If your mortgage is 500,000 you're likely not. But people get confused because Bank of America is their lender. They could have made your loan and you could be sending them your payments, but it is backed by Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac and you can go to making homeaffordable.gov and figure that out.
Ted Simons: You find out you're qualified, you say, hey, what exactly do you get? What happens? How does it work?
Catherine Reagor: We don't have all the details yet, but they say December. That's soon, and that's quick. They already have the program in place. Taxpayers, the government owns Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac, so this is something they should easily be able to administer through HUD and treasury. Essentially you don't have to get an appraisal, because that's a cost you usually have to pay for a refinancing, and they've streamlined the process, and also they're going to try to make it competitive with different lenders because they're cutting the fees for lenders. And these are mostly conforming loans. These are loans where people are paying. These are loans lenders should want to refinance and keep.
Ted Simons: I want to ask you about that. The lenders are going to have to cooperate here, are they going to cooperate here? The president says if they don't cooperate, this makes for competition for those who want to come in. That's a nice theory, it is going to work?
Catherine Reagor: We heard that before, remember when it was first announce it was the carrot and the stick. It didn't work. The loan modifications did not work. Now, Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac are owned by the government, they can push it through. They have the power, and it's working with the lenders, and again, these are the loans they want. These are the loans people are making payments on. So to get it -- if you otherwise, people are walking away from 7%, 6%, even if you're making 3.9% or 4% on a mortgage right now, if you're a lender, that's a great return on your money. So we'll see. But they have to carry a big stick. The government, the Obama Administration really has to bring that out.
Ted Simons: The idea of course being that once you get this refinanced, once that all is lifted a little bit over your head or your neck, you have the money to go inject into the economy.
Catherine Reagor: Yes. And have you more money to spend because you can save $500 or a thousand a month. The problem is, it's not cutting principle. You're still under water on your mortgage.
Ted Simons: Well, yes.
Catherine Reagor: But right now, if you can't sell anyway, you love your home, or like your home, you're in a good neighborhood, a good school, a good shopping center, close to your job, and you can cut your payment by $500 a month, and it costs you very little? And doesn't take a lot of time? Seems you know--
Ted Simons: You mentioned earlier, a previous government program, previous plans, this particular program, didn't seem to hit a lot of folks in Arizona. This one seems like this could be a bit of a game-changer if everyone cooperates.
Catherine Reagor: Yes. The problem is the big questions, we did a live chat on this, people have rental homes. It has to be your primary house. You have to live there. What is sad is some people couldn't make their mortgage payments so they moved out, and now are renting them. But the Obama Administration is going to have to consider all these factors, because the market has changed so much. If you have a second mortgage, they're kind of blurry on whether you still qualify, but they're going to have to look at that because so many people do.
Ted Simons: Skeptics will say another government program, it's simply not going to work. Are you hearing that?
Catherine Reagor: Yes. And we're hearing -- the money is out there. They didn't spend it on the modifications, the money is there. But this rewards the people who have done everything right, and helps encourage people to stay in their homes instead of walking away because they owe too much. They owe more than their mortgage, and it could be a good thing. It could be a really good thing for Arizona and help slow foreclosures and stabilize home values.
Ted Simons: And no jumbo, you can't have missed more than one payment in the last year?
Catherine Reagor: Yes.
Ted Simons: And if you're upside down, good news for you. Hope there's a Fannie and Freddie in your portfolio as well.
Catherine Reagor: You can check that out. You'll be surprised. They own most of the loans out there.
Ted Simons: How do you check that out?
Catherine Reagor: Makinghomeaffordable.gov is the federal website, and you can call your lender and figure it out, there are several ways to do it. If you're confused, email me at email@example.com and I'll help you.
Ted Simons: It's good to have you on the show. We got you on for some good news for a change.
Catherine Reagor: Yeah, yes.
Ted Simons: Thank you.
Catherine Reagor: Thanks.

Mac Specs: eMac OS 10.3.9
My very first post - so be patient w/ me as I learn the art of using forums.
I own an eMac but use my school's PC laptop. I love the flexibility of a portable computer, but I hate dealing with the PC aspect. I've recently started searching eBay for gently used Macbooks and I'm overwhelmed at all the different things to consider. I found one that looks interesting and the price is very appealing (I can't afford to get a new one from the Mac store on my teacher's salary) but will it suffice? I don't need anything fancy, just the ability to create worksheets, get online, play with my iPod, ... Should I be wary of buying a computer off eBay? The one I found says, "MacBook1.1 Pre-owned, very nice, clean, well cared for: Intel Core Duo, 1.83 Ghz,1 processor, 2 cores, L2 Cache 2MB, Memory 2 GB, 55GB HD, Mac OS X, DVD-CD-RW, comes with factory power cord." That's it. I don't know the model, year, anything (picture shows a white case). The seller is obviously not the original owner. I've looked at other sites with spec listings, but don't know what most of it means. Don't really NEED it, but the price (currently $85 including shipping, 4 days left to bid) seems too hard to pass up - even if I need to upgrade or get a new battery right away. I can tell that it has more that my current eMac as far as memory goes, so what could I lose? Any advice would be appreciated. |

That might not be the case with the MB you are bidding on. If something goes wrong with it, you are so out of luck. Then repairs will probably cost an arm and leg. T_T" |

For the record, I bought two Macbook Pros off ebay, along with other items, without any issues. It comes down to seller feedback, good reputation, and consistent selling patterns.
That said, a common thing on ebay is people will list something very cheap ($1), then it will simply skyrocket very near the end of the auction. The first MBP I was going to get, I bid nearly at the going retail, and in the last 10 minutes they jumped up PAST retail value. Huh? For that reason I stick to "Buy it Now" only things. No bidding wars and no doubt whether I will win. Just click and pay. Oh and use Paypal since ebay insures Paypal payments for lots of items. |

As for eBay purchases in general, you can get computers off eBay (I've bought and sold successfully on there), but you just need to be careful. I won't buy a computer from someone with less than 100 feedback with a very high rating, and even then you need to look at how much of the rating was left by buyers. Sometimes people have a very high rating but have never actually sold anything on eBay. Another thing to look for is plenty of pictures. If you can't see exactly what you're buying, that's a red flag. Look for auctions with several high-detail close-up pictures of the computer, especially if the seller is highlighting its flaws. That's what a good seller would do. I would tell you to consider looking at Craigslist too. I've bought several computers off Craigslist, and it's preferred because you can use the computer before you fork over the cash. Either way, I'd personally prefer Craigslist or eBay over Apple refurb because you can save quite a bit of money. But that's just me.

Just be careful in what you are buying.
If something is too good to be true, chances are it is I tend to buy things cheaply on EBay but not TOO cheap and only from people with solid histories. I have NOT bid on things before because I find the price a bit too low. Maybe I am being paranoid but I have heard enough stories to wonder. I made the comment in another thread how I once sold something by starting it at $1 and it only sold for $7 when it was worth a LOT MORE. My stupid mistake so maybe others do that too. |

Sep. 9, 2010 An astronomy graduate at the University of Hertfordshire has set up the first UK camera which can continuously scan the night sky and dictates the best conditions for surveys.
David Campbell, an Astrophysics graduate at the University, who collects meteorites as a hobby, set up the camera at Bayfordbury Observatory in October 2009 and has captured some interesting data since then.
The All-Sky camera records images of the entire sky continuously throughout the night. One of the main aims of the camera is to detect clouds above the observatory so that researchers can monitor sky conditions and gauge the best time to scan the sky.
The camera is an SBIG AllSky-340C, containing a highly sensitive Kodak 640x480 pixel CCD and a Fujinon 1.4mm f1.4 fisheye lens giving horizon to horizon coverage.
David's project is the first known attempt at automating the detection of clouds at night from such a camera and he has come up with findings that suggest that Sunday nights are four times clearer than Tuesdays nights, although more surveying is needed to confirm this categorically.
The Bayfordbury camera has already detected twenty-six potential fireballs, and a few actual fireballs from the recent Perseid meteor shower. Another camera has been set up at Hemel Hempstead and one at the Isle of Wight and a camera is currently being set up in Norfolk, which means that very soon the astronomers will be in a position to triangulate the path of an incoming meteor and help in the recovery of meteorites.
"We could be filming a supernova before we know it," said David. "The All-Sky cameras give us a complete record of the sky, not just a compressed picture. No one has surveyed the night sky over the UK like this before."

OSGeo should simply put a link to the project's "marketing" section, and if the project owners provide content on the other end, then good - if not, then so be it. I'm all about providing quality user experiences, but anything more than that is likely not worth the effort required. Our users are, for the most part, a very savvy and discriminating bunch. And for apps that are explicitly targeting users outside of the normal open source types, it should be up to them to provide the "marketing" materials they deem appropriate. -mpg From: discuss-bounces at lists.osgeo.org [mailto:discuss-bounces at lists.osgeo.org] On Behalf Of Bob Basques Sent: Monday, June 07, 2010 9:24 AM To: OSGeo Discussions Subject: Re: [OSGeo-Discuss] 5 Star OSGeo project maturity rating All, Did anyone else hear that thunder in the distance? :c) That's what I've been trying to say, let the projects handle this sort of thing themselves, but OSGEO CAN (and SHOULD in my mind) coordinate a standardized look and feel to such things. bobb >>> Howard Butler <hobu.inc at gmail.com> wrote: On Jun 7, 2010, at 11:03 AM, Bob Basques wrote: > Wouldn't it seem prudent to classify the projects before trying to compare them? /me screams into a room that no one can hear.

This whole exercise is quite frankly, masturbatory, and does nothing to help the projects who would be rated, provides very little to those "users" of said ratings, and calls into question our credibility by having the arrogance to rate *our own* projects in any way. OSGeo is doing enough by providing visibility for the projects, and it is up to them to pull them in as users with the quality of their software, the quality of their documentation, and the quality of their community. A silly sticker by us or anyone else isn't going to sway that process in any way. It would be more valuable to collate a series of "elevator pitch"-type material from each project who wishes to participate to make their case to the envisioned users of this rating. Projects who do not participate in this for whatever reason implicitly make a statement about their quality. That's going to be far more useful to both the projects and the users than an elongating graphic.

Good housekeeping could make a significant dent in employers' workers' comp costs. That's one of the tips offered to prevent common workplace injuries.
Slips, trips, and falls as well as overexertion were responsible for 60 percent of Ohio's lost time claims in 2010. The Ohio Bureau of Workers' Compensation is offering easy-to-implement, low-cost strategies to prevent what it says are mostly preventable injuries.
"Preventing the most common injuries can be as simple as maintaining good housekeeping practices, using slip resistance shoes, eliminating lifting tasks, and training employees on proper lifting techniques," said Steve Beuhrer, BWC's administrator/CEO. "Attentive employers can make a few minor changes at minimal cost that can significantly increase safety in the workplace and provide the added benefits of healthy, productive workers and lower workers' comp premiums."
More than 30 percent of Ohio's lost time claims were due to overexertion in 2010, mainly related to lifting, pushing and pulling, bending and twisting, repetitive motions, and awkward postures. More than half the claims were due to overexertion associated with lifting and pushing and pulling tasks.
The BWC suggests employers use conveyors, hoists, lift-assist devices, and other mechanical means to reduce material handling and manual lifting. Reducing the weight of objects to be lifted is another strategy suggested.
Teaching employees proper techniques -- lifting with the legs not the back and bending the tool not the wrist -- can go a long way to preventing injuries. Common-sense solutions include using handles on objects to be lifted, reducing the frequency and distances of lifts, locating frequently used items as close to the body as possible to minimize reaching, and adding padding to tools.

Updated Femtosecond Laser Carl Zeiss Meditec has introduced the next generation of its VisuMax femtosecond laser. With a 500-kHz upgrade in the pulse repetition rate, the new system is designed to enhance the precision of the therapy, shorten treatment times and improve patient comfort. In addition, VisuMax is the subject of a pending 510(k) in the United States for keratoplasty. Carl Zeiss Meditec Intraoperative Aberrometer WaveTec Vision Systems has launched its ORange system. Designed for use in the operating room on a range of applications, the intraoperative wavefront aberrometer attaches to the surgical microscope and provides on-demand readings of sphere, cylinder and axis in approximately two to five seconds. It also features a dynamic range of –5 D to +20 D. WaveTec Vision Systems Wide-View Lens Volk Optical has released the HRX (High Resolution eXtreme field) Vit Lens for indirect viewing of the entire retina during vitreoretinal surgical procedures. Compared with the company's previous offerings, Volk has expanded the field of view to 150 degrees for greater peripheral visualization and the treatment power to 0.43x magnification. The lens is available in either a standard contact option or the company's SSV (self-stabilizing vitrectomy) design. SSV lenses make direct contact with the cornea, eliminating the need for sutures or stabilizing rings, and reducing patient discomfort and surgical prep time. Volk Optical Low Vision Products Eschenbach has introduced two new magnifiers to its line of low vision products. The Makrolux 3.6 magnifier combines magnification and LED illumination with ergonomic lens design to reduce neck strain and fatigue while reading. The Makrolux features a 90-mm x 30-mm rectangular viewing area. The ridges on the bottom are intended to keep the lens 1 mm off the reading surface to prevent lens scratching. The easyPOCKET is a 3-mm thick LED pocket magnifier available in 3x and 4x magnification. It features a 50-mm x 46-mm aspheric/diffractive hybrid lens, automatic- contact illumination and a fiberglass-enforced plastic case to minimize lens scratching. Eschenbach Visualizing Scope Gulden Ophthalmics has introduced its EyeView Visualizing Scope to help patients explore and understand the interior of their eyes. The device creates a minute pinpoint of light, and holding it up to the eye creates silhouettes of floaters on the retina, including bits of cells, protein strands, specks, granulated filaments and other materials primarily in the vitreous humor. In addition, the scope can be used to monitor cleanliness of contact lenses. The handheld device uses an LED lamp and AAA batteries and features a pinhole light focuser. A booklet accompanying the scope shows images of typical normal and abnormal views that might be observed. Gulden Ophthalmics Absorbable Plug Variety Pack Oasis Medical has added an Extended Duration Variety Pack to its line of three-month absorbable plugs. The variety pack includes 10 pairs: One pair of 0.2-mm plugs, three pairs of 0.3-mm plugs, four pairs of 0.4-mm plugs and two pairs of 0.5-mm plugs. One-size-only packs are also available in 0.2-mm, 0.3-mm, 0.4-mm and 0.5-mm sizes. These packs come with 10 or 20 pairs per box. Oasis Medical

The real Scumbag Steve, by-elections & marijuana research
1. You know that guy Scumbag Steve with the backwards hat and fur-collared coat? You've probably seen him posted on Facebook walls with captions like "Yo, whose house is this?/My bros need directions." It turns out he's more than just a meme. His name is Blake Boston, 22, and he lives in New England. He tells the Boston Globe the photo was taken when he was 16 and then lifted off his Myspace page. Now, he's recognized by strangers with regularity. Let that be a lesson to us all about forgotten Myspace pages.
2. Humboldt State University in California has announced a new interdisciplinary research unit dedicated to studying marijuana. Eleven faculty members from fields including economics, geography, politics and sociology will conduct the research, reports local newspaper The Times-Standard.
3. Three by-elections made Monday an interesting night in federal politics. The Conservatives easily took Durham, the Ontario riding Bev Oda vacated after her $16 orange juice. In Calgary Centre the Conservatives won with just 37 per cent of the vote while the Liberals got 33 per cent and the Greens took 25 per cent. The Greens also had a strong second place showing in Victoria where the New Democrat prevailed. Here's a post mortem of the race for Calgary Centre.

Ottawa police investigate "memes"
Gay Carleton student targeted
QuickMemes, with their block-letter jokes superimposed on photos, have been shared on Canadian students' Facebook walls for much of the past year. Many of them are funny. But Arun Smith of Carleton University, who is openly gay, wasn't laughing after a friend showed him anti-gay QuickMemes with his photo on them in April. "They were phenomenally hurtful, they were harassing, they were libelous, they were hateful, and they were very, very violent," he told CBC News. Smith says he hopes charges will be laid if police catch the images' creator or creators.
Quick Memes: the new campus obsession
Students at Nipissing U. early to embrace trend
Students have a new online obsession. Quickmemes.com allows anyone to add their own funny captions to photos of familiar Internet stars, like Rebecca Black, before sharing them on Facebook.
The trend is starting to spread, but one community's Facebook walls are already littered with Quick Memes. There are more than 1,300 "likes" on the unofficial Nipissing University Memes Facebook page. That's a lot for a school with just 4,500 students. The page for the North Bay, Ontario school has become a place to share both points of pride (the fries at campus pub The Wall) and common complaints (transportation to the hilltop campus). Here are just a few of the dozens of memes from the Nipissing page that will make you laugh and then share, just like that Rebecca Black video.

When my wife Linda told me that the nurse said her Uncle Charlie was terminally agitated, I thought she was joking. It reminded me of old washing machines with their agitators and the talk of communist agitators during the 60s and what the old Italians call giving someone "agita." Agitation seemed like such a funny and soft word to describe anything to do with death and the hard facts of dying.
But the nurse said she wasn't joking and after Linda got off the phone with her, we googled "terminal agitation" and there it was, on a page dealing with hospices.
Here's what we read:
What is Terminal Restlessness or Agitation?
Those who work with the dying know this type of restlessness or agitation almost immediately. However, the public and patient's family may have no idea what is going on and often become quite alarmed at their loved one's condition. What does it look like? Although it varies somewhat in each patient, there are common themes that are seen over and over again.
Patients may be too weak to walk or stand, but they insist on getting up from the bed to the chair, or from the chair back to the bed. Whatever position they are in, they complain they are not comfortable and demand to change positions, even if pain is well managed. They may yell out using uncharacteristic language, sometimes angrily accusing others around them. They appear extremely agitated and may not be objective about their own condition. They may be hallucinating, having psychotic episodes and be totally "out of control." At these times, the patient's safety is seriously threatened.
Some patients may demand to go to the hospital emergency room, even though there is nothing that can be done for them there. Some patients may insist that the police be called ... that someone unseen is trying to harm them. Some patients may not recognize those around them, confusing them with other people. They may act as if they were living in the past, confronting an old enemy.
I got that from the Hospice Patients Alliance. Here's there link:
But that didn't come near describing what Charlie was going through.
He wanted so bad to get out of bed and stand up and walk out of the hospital that no word from Tony or the Nurses or the doctor could turn him aside. Charlie wanted to be on his feet and moving toward the door, and more than that. He wanted to walk out the door to the elevator and take the elevator downstairs and then walk into the parking lot and get into his candy-apple red 98 Mercury Sable and drive away from this hospice like a man being chased by the devil.
But he wasn't going anywhere, even though he moved his feet toward the foot of the bed and he tried to grab the bed rails with his hands and pull himself up. He tried that over and over. You'd put his feet under the sheets, and he would try to lift his shoulders up off the bed. You'd tell him that he couldn't lift himself up, and he'd try moving his feet toward the edge of the bed. And all the while he'd be talking about leaving the bed and getting stronger and walking out of the hospital. He's spent days trying to get out of bed and telling us he was feeling fine and was ready to go home—even though he was down to 80 pounds and his skin and eyes were a sandy yellow color.
And when he wasn't talking about how good he felt, he talked about people he had to call and things he needed to do, the projects he was working on and the places he needed to shop at. His mind was working overtime at time-a-half spinning through all of the unfinished business of his life. He was like a man on fire.

The U.S. Department of Transportation and the University of Michigan are testing out technology that allows cars to "talk" to each other. The idea is that these safety devices would allow drivers to be aware of the presence and intention of vehicles around them.
When the technology will make its way into cars and trucks everywhere is unclear. The National Highway Traffic Safety Administration has the authority to order the devices placed in all new cars, but LaHood said they'll have to study the data before making any decision. The data will be available in about a year.
In a demonstration at the Transportation Research Institute, a Volkswagen GTI equipped with a device got a signal that a car up ahead of it had braked. The warning allowed the GTI driver to slow down before seeing the brake lights on the car in front of him. The device also warned the GTI driver at a stop sign that another car was about to speed through the intersection.
Thanks for the link, Katelyn M.

Dates have recently become the healthier alternative to chocolate. In shops we can now buy different varieties of date – from dried and plain to stoned and glazed with pure sugar. The date itself is very nutritious but added Glucose is never a good thing. If you want to benefit most from this fruit, choose the most pure and natural version you can find. Sweetened dates will still have the benefits but also might carry disadvantages which are related to the overconsumption of sugar.
Dates originate from the Middle East and grow on palm trees. There are different types of date species cultivated which vary in size, colour and nutritional components. A review by London Metropolitan University (read the review) showed the nutritional differences in various stages of date development.
Dates are made out of simple sugars, some starch and cellulose. When ripening the simple sugar content increases and fibre concentration decreases. You can find more on fibre in the benefits of eating carrots. Dieters have recognised this property and commonly use it for enforcing weight loss. Dietary fibre also might prevent abdominal cancer.
Even though dates are fruit they still contain small amounts of fatty acids, both saturated and unsaturated. There has been spotted an opportunity to use dates as a source of oleic acid which can be found in the seeds of dates. Also found in the olive oil, it has a lowering effect on the blood pressure and cholesterol levels. The problem would be though to ensure the digestion of these seeds to get any benefits at all.
Mineral Content
There 15 different minerals present from which some tend to decrease in concentrations in later stages of date development depending on variety – Iron, Zinc, Magnesium, Sodium, Potassium and Phosphorus. This is another reason to eat more 'young' dates. Iron enhances the production of blood and dates are advantageous for people with Iron deficiency as the use of supplements can be avoided. Potassium is essential for a healthy nervous system and enhances physical activity too. On other hand Phosphorus is the building bone of genetic material in the body. It also is the part of the ATP (adenosine triphosphate) which is the energy fuel for all reactions in all living things. Lack of phosphorus might cause muscular and neurological dysfunction and disruption of blood cells. It is also beneficial for hardening the bones. Dates have 5 times larger concentration of these three minerals than bananas and apples.
Dates are also very rich in Protein, again 5 times more than other fruit. There are 23 different amino acids in dates from which most are not available in other conventional fruits at all. The concentration of these again decreases with ripening. Proteins are the building blocks of our body and are needed for the growth of muscles. Therefore people who want to widen the range and type of protein they intake, dates are a great option. In the largest concentrations of protein in dates are Glutamic, Aspartic and Aspartamine amino acids. Glutamic acid is an essential neurotransmitter which mediates different metabolic reactions and as a supplement is widely used by athletes.
Different vitamins are also present but not in great amounts. You would have eat a lot of dates to reach the daily recommendation. The most significant amount of concentrations have vitamin C(Ascorbic acid), B1(Thiamine) and B2(Riboflavin) but there is also presence of Folic acid, Nicotinic Acid and vitamin A. Vitamin C mediates metabolism, is an antioxidant, detoxifier and has been claimed to boost the immune system. B1 has been associated with increased mental activity but B2 has been used for prevention of migraines.
Benefits of eating dates:
- Increase of energy
- Enhance bowel movement
- Prevent abdominal cancer
- Lower cholesterol
- Lower Blood pressure
- Enhance metabolism and absorption of nutrients
- Enhance physical activity
- Prevent neurological problems
- Enhance blood production
- Contribute to muscle growth
- Might boost immune system
- Prevent migraines and other physical pain

28 June 2013
As part of the 'Everyone Counts' initiative, individual consultants' results are being published, based on national clinical audit data. Two of NICOR's national cardiac audits are amongst the 10 specialties covered, providing data in relation to adult cardiac surgery and non-surgical interventional cardiology. The work was coordinated for NHS England by the Healthcare Quality Improvement Partnership (HQIP) which commissions national clinical audit work for NHS England.
The outcomes reporting was led by HQIP Outcomes Director Professor Ben Bridgewater, a practicing heart surgeon who is the clinical lead for NICOR's Adult Cardiac Surgery Audit. NICOR's Becca Cosgriff worked alongside Ben during a specially-arranged secondment to HQIP. The landmark publication of the data, which is available via NHS Choices and includes quality information and survival rates, will help reassure patients about the high quality of treatment they should expect. It is part of a major NHS drive to improve transparency of information about its services and drive up quality.
Ben Bridgewater commented: "Ultimately there is one patient and one responsible consultant. This means the public can now know about the care given by each doctor and be reassured an early warning system is in place to identify and deal with any problems. A number of extra new safety checks have been created as natural by-products of putting this work in train, and this will only improve as processes are refined. In terms of geographical coverage and specialties covered, this is truly ground breaking."
Professor Sir Bruce Keogh, National Medical Director at NHS England, said: "This is a momentous moment in NHS history: Never before has this level of information been publically available in one place. As little as twenty years ago, this simply wouldn't have been practical. Not only will the information reassure patients the quality of NHS service is what they should expect, it provides unprecedented transparency and scrutiny and allows patients to have informed conversations with their doctors if needed. This really is a landmark moment for the NHS and sets the tone for how we intend to move forward. As a former surgeon, I know that this is absolutely the right thing to do." "I am particularly thankful to the consultants, specialist societies and national audit teams who have really got behind this important piece of work and made it a reality."
The publication of the data was initially set out in offer two of NHS England's planning guidance 'Everyone Counts: Planning for Patients 2013/14.' The data will be available via NHS Choices. It will initially be refreshed annually and reporting of data in this way will be mandatory from 2014/15. Further details can be found at HQIP and at NHS England.

While the Sea Dogs are off today, the .500 Red Sox are in the Bronx for the first time this year. After losses by Lester and Lackey, Boston is counting on Matsuzaka (how strange does that sound?).
In Pawtucket, underdog outfielder Daniel Nava went 2-for-4 to up his average to .320 ... Bubba Bell (.261) also had 2 hits ... Jorge Jimenez (.279) looks like he is past his early struggles with a 4-for-4 game ... Adam Mills started for the PawSox (5 IP, 2 H, 1 R, 2 BB, 3 K).
Salem has plenty of solid performers. Third baseman Will Middlebrooks (.352) went 2-for-5 ... second baseman Oscar Tejeda (.340) and catcher/DH Ryan Lavarnway (.336) saw their averages drop after one hit apiece ... catcher Tim Federowicz (.273) is getting hotter with two hits ... reliever Kyle Fernandes (1.91 ERA) was one of those figured to start the year in Portland, continues to do well (1 1/3 IP, 1 H, 1 K).
Greenville outfielder Reymond Fuentes, 19, the first-round draft pick from last year, went 4-for-5 and is batting .287.

Guess what, believe it or not, those curvy white shapes came from shadows! While Ellsworth Kelly was riding a bus one day, he noticed the shadows that fell across the pages of his book. He turned over the book and quickly made some drawings. Two years later he made this painting.
Instead of making the shadows black and the pages white, Kelly did the opposite. Find the place where the two white shadow shapes meet. If you look closely, you'll see that this is where the panels meet as well, like the two pages in an open book.
Kelly called this painting Atlantic because those shapes reminded him of waves in the ocean. Take a moment to think about what this painting reminds you of. If you could choose a different title or name for this work, what would you call it?

Glitch delaying election results in North Idaho | News
Title (Max 100 Characters)
Election officials in Kootenai County in northern Idaho say vote counting problems discovered Wednesday morning are preventing workers from tabulating results.
Chief Deputy Clerk Pat Raffee said the problem occurred about 1:30 a.m. and six hours later, officials were still trying to figure out what went wrong.
That means vote totals are unavailable for the presidential race as well as public schools chief Tom Luna's education overhaul initiatives.
The glitch in the county that includes the city of Coeur d'Alene is also preventing results for two county commissioner seats, county sheriff, prosecuting attorney and a measure concerning an optional form of county government.
Raffee said workers don't know which numbers can be relied on.
She said they're not ruling out any possibility to get results, including counting ballots by hand.

Hi Everyone,
I have a 3.5 months old who is exclusively breastfeed. Up until about 2 days ago I have had plenty of milk, even after going back to work 3 weeks ago and having to pump at work. All of a sudden yesterday I went to pump and not much came out (compared to what I normally produce). I had to pump 2 extra times yesterday just to make enough bottles for my son to have today. This morning I woke up and I didn't feel full like I normally do. Does anyone have any experience with a sudden drop in supply like this?
Earlier in the week I was sick with a cold, so I'm thinking maybe this had something to do with it. I didn't take any cold medicine, other than some coldeeze lazanges which I read were safe.
Does anyone have any advice for me to help me make sure my supply gets back to normal?

Bargain Hunt visits The Vyne National Trust property
1:00pm Wednesday 18th July 2012 in News
AN UNDER-floor surprise was filmed by the BBC at The Vyne – the National Trust property near Basingstoke.
Tim Wonnacott, presenter for Bargain Hunt and an antiques expert, was filming at The Vyne, in Sherborne St John, for a forthcoming episode, when conservation staff discovered some ancient tiles below the black and white chequered 18th century Stone Gallery floor.
Mr Wonnacott was surprised at the discovery, and requested that the BBC film it.
Karen Webb, The Vyne's Visitor Services Officer, said: "There were one or two areas of the floor that were cracked and needed repair, but when we lifted up a section of the Portland stone paving, we were amazed to glimpse at least five tiles underneath."
The actual age of the tiles is unknown. However, slivers of the tiles were found and photographed by archaeologists, and these will be sent for review and further analysis. The Vyne hopes to display the results of further research on the tiles, photographs and tile fragments, later in the year.
Karen added: "Some of the tiles had a green and yellow speckled glaze, probably produced by iron and copper. I've seen similar tiles to these, known as 'splashed ware', dating from the late medieval period, circa 15th and 16th century. One of the other tiles is brown, and at least two of them are completely intact."
The Vyne was once owned by Lord Sandys, Henry VIII's Lord Chamberlain, and then was in the Chute family's possession for more than 300 years.

Language and Style
One of the main things that draws us to certain writers is their language and style. How do they tell the story? What sort of words and sentences do the writers use to tell the tale? Language and style consist of diction (the specific words the writer uses), figurative language (similes, metaphors, imagery, and personification), level of description and detail, and sentence structure.
A simile makes a comparison using like or as: Your eyes are like shining sapphires. A metaphor is more powerful. It makes the comparison directly: Your eyes are shining sapphires.
Personification is the attribution of human characteristics to animals or objects. For example, in the poem "The Eagle" from the pretest, the eagle is described as "clasp[ing] the crag with crooked hands." Eagles do not actually have hands. This is personification.
Imagery is the representation of sensory experience through language. Imagery helps us see, hear, taste, smell, and touch in our imaginations. Notice the powerful imagery and the similes in the passage below, from Sandra Cisneros' The House on Mango Street (1984):
Everybody in our family has different hair. My Papa's hair is like a broom, all up in the air. And me, my hair is lazy. It never obeys barrettes or bands. Carlos' hair is thick and straight. He doesn't need to comb it. Nenny's hair is slippery—slides out of your hand. And Kiki, who is the youngest, has hair like fur.
But my mother's hair, my mother's hair, like little rosettes, like little candy circles all curly and pretty because she pinned it in pincurls all day, sweet to put your nose into when she is holding you, holding you and you feel safe, is the warm smell of bread before you bake it, is the smell when she makes room for you on her side of the bed still warm with her skin, and you sleep near her, the rain outside falling and Papa snoring. The snoring, the rain, and Mama's hair that smells like bread.
However, style is more than just figurative language. It is the overall manner of writing, including sentence structure and the level of formality, which is managed through word choice. It is also a matter of how much description and detail the author likes to provide. Notice, for example, the drastically different styles of the two science fiction writers in the next example. One uses very long sentences and sophisticated, formal vocabulary. The other is much more casual, with shorter sentences and more everyday vocabulary.
From Mary Shelley's Frankenstein (1818):
It is with considerable difficulty that I remember the original era of my being; all the events of that period appear confused and indistinct. A strange multiplicity of sensations seized me, and I saw, felt, heard, and smelt at the same time; and it was, indeed, a long time before I learned to distinguish between the operations of my various senses.
From Kurt Vonnegut's Slaughterhouse Five (1969):
Billy Pilgrim has come unstuck in time.
Billy has gone to sleep a senile widower and awakened on his wedding day. He has walked through a door in 1955 and come out another one in 1941.He has gone back through that door to find himself in 1963.He has seen his birth and death many times, he says, and pays random visits to all the events in between.
He says.
In fiction, writers often use symbolism to help convey the themes of their stories. A symbol is a person, place, or thing invested with special meaning or significance. It is a person, place, or thing that is both itself and a representation of something else (usually an idea). Flags are an everyday example of symbolism. A flag is a decorated piece of cloth, but it is also much more than that; it represents a group of people and the ideas that hold those people together. Colors are also highly symbolic. White may be used to represent purity or innocence; red to represent passion or bloodshed; purple to represent royalty. Birds often represent freedom, and an olive branch represents peace.
In "The Necklace," the necklace Madame Loisel loses becomes a symbol of what happens when we want desperately to be something or someone we are not, of what we can suffer when we are too proud to tell the truth to others.
All of these elements add up to express the story's theme. As noted earlier, theme in literature is like the thesis of an expository essay, but it is a bit more complex. You won't find a thesis statement in a short story or novel. Instead, you have to evaluate the whole and consider the questions the story has raised, the points it has made, and the positions it has taken. Indeed, stories can have several themes. The key is to ask yourself what the story adds up to in the end. What seems to be the message the writer wants to convey through all that has occurred? What ideas can you take away from the characters and events you just experienced?
In Frankenstein, for example, you might state the themes this way:
- People must be responsible for what they create.
- We should not "play God" and attempt to control or overrule nature.
- Everyone needs to be loved, and we bring destruction upon ourselves when we reject others.
All three of these themes and more come from the story—from all elements of fiction working together in the novel to convey the writer's ideas.

FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE Contact: +44 7900 243460 +44 7788 745479 Shibui Talks of Record Berlin, Sunday, Sept 26, 13.30gmt Yoko Shibui was philosophical about the incident which may have cost her an Asian record in the real,-Berlin Marathon Sunday morning. As she sped through the Brandenburg Gate with just 200 metres to run to the finish line, an over-zealous official tried to direct her to the channel that separated the women from the men finishers. In doing so, he managed to stand right in her path, so she had to stop and go around him, causing her to lose momentum. She finished in 2hr 19min 41sec, just two seconds outside the Asian record that Sun Yingjie of China ran in Beijing almost a year ago. "I think it did cost me some time," said Shibui after the race, "but I'm not going to dwell on that. I'm just happy I won and broke Takahashi's national record." It was in Berlin three years ago that Takahashi, the Sydney Olympic champion became the first woman under 2hr 20min, with her 2.19.46. Since then, first Catherine Ndereba of Kenya, then Britain's Paula Radcliffe (twice) have taken the world record down to 2.15.25. Radcliffe dropped out of the Olympic marathon in Athens five weeks ago, but Ndereba was a close second to another Japanese winner, Mizuki Noguchi. It was a superb return to form for Shibui, who has spent two years overcoming injuries in the wake of her third behind Radcliffe's first world record in Chicago 2002. "It has not been a good time," said Shibui, "I even thought about giving up running. But I'm glad now that I didn't." And to ensure that she didn't relent on Sunday morning, her coach Hideo Suzuki scrawled a message on the water-bottle she picked up at half-way. It read, "Don't Give Up." ###

iPhone 5 release date rumors and news about features, specs concept designs, and pictures have been a hot topic lately. No one really knows when the real launch date for the highly anticipated Apple smartphone will be, but most people feel the handset will arrive late Summer 2012.
One of the latest rumors to pop up in online news shows a part order which some tech junkies feel changes the design of the iPhone 5 from what most analysts, designers, and Apple groupies had thought it would be.
Apparently the leaked SIM card tray is nearly an exact match to the current model SIM tray, which leads to speculation that the iPhone 5 design may keep the same flat sides found on the 4S. The iPhone 5 release date and design rumor talks about parts which have leaked from suppliers and resellers. An online source claims one of the parts is the iPhone 5 SIM card tray. How would this change the design of the 6th generation Apple smartphone model?
Of course Apple keeps all information about upcoming launches hidden away until the time comes for the big unveiling, so no one really knows what can be expected when the iPhone 5 release date finally arrives. Except of course that the world will have a new Apple smartphone, hopefully in 2012.
What do you think about the SIM card part leak rumor? Does it really hint at a similar smartphone design to what consumers already have? Will it matter?

Linen, towels, fuel, power and central heating are all included.
There is plenty of outside space at Garden Cottage in which you are welcome to wander, enjoying the birdlife, flora and fauna. There is storage for bicycles and ample parking at the property.
