RelationshipsHow do my partner and I know if we're emotionally ready to have a baby? How much stress does a pregnancy put on a relationship? How will our life as a couple change when we get pregnant? What kind of stress should we expect? What should my partner and I talk about before getting pregnant? What other issues should we talk about before getting pregnant? Does my partner's lifestyle affect the pregnancy? Will we still be able to travel when I get pregnant? How can friends and family members help us prepare for pregnancy? How do my partner and I know if we're emotionally ready to have a baby?You're emotionally ready to have a baby if you're having it for the right reasons, with the right person, at the right time, and go into it with realistic expectations of yourself, each other, and your relationship.The emotional demands of parenthood on each partner are enormous. Each must be prepared to commit to communicating and connecting to a new baby at all times and be able to accept the constant demands of a baby. How much stress does a pregnancy put on a relationship? How will our life as a couple change when we get pregnant?Changes that come with pregnancy will, to some degree, cause stress in any relationship, no matter how strong it is. Pregnancy is a major life-altering event with important physical, emotional, and financial effects that you need to deal with in advance.Working together will make pregnancy preparation and the changes you will need to make in the future easier, and help you forge a strong, healthy family. You and your partner must be ready, willing, and able to withstand a range of degrees of stress. Your levels of stress may intensify, diminish, and vary constantly; it may be difficult to predict. What kind of stress should we expect?You must expect and be ready to endure feelings of stress, frustration, incompetence, vulnerability, and responsibility. You must be ready to act with total selflessness because that's what a new baby will require.A key change is that you and your partner need to expect and be ready for interruptions of intimacy, obstacles to spontaneity, and limitations on your availability for each other. Finally, relationship experts tell us that, ideally, any unresolved issues in the relationship should be worked out before pregnancy. What should my partner and I talk about before getting pregnant?Sit down with your partner and ask yourselves the questions below. There are no right or wrong answers; whatever your answers, they will increase your awareness of your readiness for parenthood.
This will be a very important and powerful conversation. It may take some time and some soul-searching. Be prepared to have it once or twice or even three times to make sure you get to all the issues or to revisit issues that need more time. Be prepared to have insights into yourself, your partner, and your relationship that may necessitate additional consideration and conversation. Consider couples counseling to help resolve issues that are important to you and your partner. What other issues should we talk about before getting pregnant?If there are existing problems in your relationship, discuss them openly and honestly now because they might escalate after you become pregnant. If you are unable to work them out, consult a professional, someone trained in family therapy.This is especially true if there is physical (hitting, pushing, kicking) and emotional (yelling, scaring) abuse in your relationship. Abuse is never ok. Becoming pregnant will not stop abuse, and sometimes the abuser's violence escalates when his partner becomes pregnant. Physical abuse is a risk not only to you but also to your baby. It can injure your baby or lead to miscarriage or preterm birth. It is psychologically harmful for children to witness domestic violence. Also, child abuse is more common in families where a parent is violent. Get help right away. Go to our resources to find assistance. Does my partner's lifestyle affect the pregnancy?Yes, your partner's lifestyle can affect your pregnancy. Therefore, we recommend that you ask your partner to adopt the same healthy lifestyle as you. We know that's not always possible. However, if your partner can't or won't change a harmful behavior or lifestyle, you need to think about the implications of this for yourself, your relationship, your pregnancy, and your family.We strongly recommend that before you try to get pregnant, you and your partner stop smoking, stop drinking alcohol, and stop recreational drug use. You should eat a healthy diet and avoid exposure to chemicals and pollutants that may harm you and your baby or in some way jeopardize or compromise a healthy pregnancy. We also recommend paying serious attention to your work and home environment and that of the child's father. Studies have shown that a man's sperm can be affected by chemical exposure and that the effects on pregnancy are most likely to occur from exposures in the three months before conception. This is because sperm matures in the testes over a three month period. A father's exposure to chemicals, such as some pesticides, has been linked to miscarriage and premature babies. Additionally, your partner's lifestyle can have an impact upon yours. For instance, the benefits of your decision to quit smoking can be compromised by the smoke from your partner's cigarette (sidestream and secondhand smoke). And, his drinking or smoking behavior can influence your behavior. Your partner has the opportunity to play a major role in helping you avoid alcohol use and smoking during pregnancy. It is easier to make behavior changes when you work on them together. Working together this way can also help bring you closer and help you build a strong and healthy family unit. Will we still be able to travel when I get pregnant?A trip with your partner before your first pregnancy might be the last chance you and partner have to travel alone together for a long (long!) while. So, if you have any plans for a distant or foreign vacation, now � before you become pregnant - would be a good time to take that trip.That said, there is no reason why you can't travel when you become pregnant; it largely depends on how you feel and how healthy you are. Long distance travel can be uncomfortable for some pregnant women. Two important things you need to know are: 1. Most airlines won't accept women who are over 35 weeks pregnant. 2. Foreign travel can expose you to illnesses you might not encounter at home.
How can friends and family members help us prepare for pregnancy?Friends and family members who have been pregnant can help you plan, tell you what you might expect, and ease many of your transitions through pregnancy and into parenthood.If you don't already have a support network of friends, relatives, health care providers, health education professionals, clergy, etc., now is a good time to create and/or strengthen it.

Hi Miss Meyer!
I just saw Breaking Dawn - Part 2, and it was truly beautiful! I know you are - like many other authors - probably tired of writing at the time, but can I ask you something?
In the movie (at the end), Jacob Black and Renesmee Cullen are getting together. Does this mean that there will be a new book series based on their love in the future?
I don't mean to sound desperate, but if you have the time to reply back, I would be (truly) honored.
Thanks! - Chris
will there be a book for the volturi
hi Katie, one can never tell what is just around the corner - lol.
Jessica - just select bookmark from your net and save the bookmark so you can come online here any time you wish.
Be well and be safe
There is a book out about Bree Tanner - so maybe if you wait long enough you might get to collect each of the character's life story - and maybe whilst all this is getting put to paper, we might one day get Midnight Sun
I don't know if you will read this or someone else will but I just wanted to know do you think you might write about Jacob and renessma all I can say I really enjoyed your books and the movies thanks for a great story and I hope your able to write midnight sun some day Let me know if you do
1 of your favorite fans,
Precilia Marquez
Is there anyway i can get a bookmark sent to me?
Hello Yoon Chung,
I really suggest you get the book and read it for yourself. It is sci-fi with some action in it as well as a bit of romance. I think only then you will be able to see for yourself. I am sure you can get a preview of a little of the story to see if you would like to buy it or not.
I am sure that many people out there read a vast amount of books. To say that those that write novels are not inspired by another writers work is a lie. Often something we read will stay with us for a long time and in time we will even forget where we once heard or read it. These thoughts or ideas will over time come back to us when we hear something else on similar lines, or when we write something down. When we use these in our written work it is not meant to be thought of as stealing someone elses work. If that is the case then every word or phrase that comes out of our mouths has been said or written down by someone. Does this mean we are stealing someone elses words? Rubbish. Every living person on this planet does it. Thanks for the input though, and have a great day.
Hi Jess,
In answer to your question on how a vampire can reconstruct itself once it is literally torn apart, they can't. This was only written into the story for visual effect. Logic - if I tore your head off there is no way that you would be able to live never mind think - I hope this helps.
Stephanie the Twilight series is even better than NCIS. Are you going to write anymore Twilight books? I sure hope so because it's always facinating to see what happens next. There are other people like me who never get tired of watching them.
Hello Stephenie. I was just wondering if you are intending to publish anymore stories. Say, I heard you wrote The Host, and I'm wondering what kind of book that is. I heard it was some kind of book about Aliens coming down to earth. Is that true? And also, is it a romance story or action?
I cant wait until Breaking Dawn Part 2 Comes out! I just love your books and movies. Judy Lashely
Hello Stephenie, I loved all of the Saga but when are you planning to finish Midnite Sun? Don't let one bad apple ruin the barrel for the rest of us. To me, Jacob aka Taylor really grew into the part and Jacob was really good as the churlish were-shapeshifter. Thank You for a killer love story.
hi! and hello Stephanie,
I just want to ask you if you gonna published the midnight sun? and, what is your next book? im excited....how long can i wait i repeat the saga a thousand times...before i sleep at night.. hope you anwer this thanks...;>
Dear Stephanie,
I am in my early 50's . Firstly thank-you for the wonderful Twilight series. Yes, I too am one that has the wish for the completion of MS and perhaps an extention at some time to the series, but I mainly wanted to say thank you for re-igniting my interest to reading again. I had not read a collection or a book for that matter in many many years. I just couldn't put these down. Hooked. Now I am trying to fill a void. I have just purchased your book the Host and look forward to receiving and reading this. Keep up the good work and again...thank you. Pauline
Dear Stephanie,
will you write a book that focuses on Renesmee and jacob's relationship?

Dirk back, and I believe West is as well. Let's see how it goes
West cant buy a shot, and Dirk isn't getting any looks. JET hates the Spurs though.
it's because of the water in the riverwalk
nice to see Dirk hit that at the end there
So when was the last time that a Mavs team could look this good without Dirk playing well? 1989?
the $#@! is this $#@!?
Jesus Christ. Had to put in some work this evening and following via gamecast. We had like a 15 point lead last I looked and now down? What in the $#@! is going on?
This is the most frustrating game of the season. Worse than the first two games. Jesus.
damn, awesome game. outside of blowing a lead and all
Unbelievable shot with a .5 second! That's sure is close.
We got lucky on that one. I wasn't sure they would reverse the call.
Last edited by Jack; 01-29-2012 at 09:04 PM.
double holy $#@!. i don't think he got it off
Is it me or does Timmy look like he's pouting even when he's smiling?
Mavs appear to be getting the calls late in the game tonight. We'll see after this review.
wow what a game, nice double dribble by green not called...
Wow /exhale.
Major props to Popovich and the Spurs bench. That was a crazy shooting display. Even more props to Jason $#@!ing Terry. #realcrip
Just glad we won this. That last posession had game winning shot written all over it.
We went through enough against OKC, LAL, and LAC to get beat like that one more time.
Yea, the Spurs have to be pleased with the play from their bench. The Mavs were fortunate to get the win after blowing that big lead. Glad to get the W.
This is my first year to have League Pass. I never realized how many homer announcers there were around the league. It makes me appreciate our guys even more. Derek Harper isn't great but they aren't like fans watching a game.
Boston and San Antonio have by far the most biased announcers. The Nuggets guys are bad. The Cleveland color guy isn't that biased but he has stupid sayings.
Followill is choice.
Last edited by CBT; 01-29-2012 at 10:30 PM. Reason: And I love Skin.
Got to catch the end of the game on the plane and am much happier for it. Go Mavs, $#@! the spurs.

Life insurance is one of the simplest insurance concepts on the planet. If you die your estate gets paid a cash sum. It isn't really life insurance but death insurance.
Life cover is often taken out to protect your family. This could be by ensuring there's enough money to pay off the mortgage, making sure there's an income for children and other dependants, or to pay funeral costs. Protecting your family from the financial consequences of an unexpected death often makes sense.
Unlike health or car insurance, you will not be around to argue your corner at claim time, so getting the right policy, through the right people, is really important. Various options for life insurance are considered in this section

The whole country benefits when Democrats burn their money.
every time I think I finally understand how stupid some of these major "stars" are, I find out that I have underestimated them again.
must be a slow news day...who cares what jackson thinks??
...just another racist idiot.
...would be fitting, a supreme court justice who gave up their law license to avoid an ethics charge. A fine suggestion...
And she accomplished what exactly to deserve this?... Exactly...
Drive to have the Mooch run for president will surely begin in 10/15, although she will have been campaigning 12 months earlier. Obama will claim that his policies are close to ending the Depression that began at the start of his 2nd term. He´ll tell the American voter once again that "we won´t go back when we are so very close to achieving unemployment below 12%". Michelle will trounce Hilary in the Dem primaries. CNBC will roar when BLS reports an 11.9% rate in 10/16.Only thing that would stop Mooch is an executive order that states that BO is not subject to constraints imposed by 22nd Amendment. Chief Justice Susan Rice will lead Supreme Court to 5 to 4 vote granting Obama the exemption to run for 2 more terms. To console Mooch, BO will issue executive order for a First Lady´s salary equal to that of a president.
Never go full retard.
And so it begins.We didn´t think he would get re-elected either, but here we are.
Jackson has snakes on the brain... what a complete idiot he has turned out to be.
In this day and age, anything is possible. We live in an era where a simple statement is considered to be evidence.For example, if I said Michelle Obama would make a good President, the masses would take that to mean that there exists evidence that she would make a good President. There is almost a total lack of questioning and analysing beyond the statement. It´s a form of cultism.At the rate things are going, you´ll have Michelle as President, Malia as Secretary of State, and Beyonce as education czar.
Court jester logic! How charming...
Don´t think this isn´t being floated for a reason. Michelle wold like nothing better than to follow her husband. Her qualifications are being 1) black, 2) female, and 3)married to Obama. And I would assume those facts alone will be enough for every Democrat voter to pull the lever for her come 2016. You should assume that too.
"Celebrities--is there anything they don´t know?" -- Homer Simpson
1. This is like having Ray Charles compliment your photography.2. FTA: Despite little indication that she has political aspirations....Are you nuts? She´s already got a personal staff of 22 or more. And while the Daily Mail says this, the fact is that she´s sticking her meddlesome fingers into all sorts of corners of American life. Unasked. Uninvited. And unendingly, it seems.So if not "aspiring" to the process, she sure does l-o-o-o-v-v-e wielding the power. Ugh.
Yes, and I could be a helicopter.
Bragging about 54 X-Mas trees in the WH gets you adulation from Tinseltown. I hope Barry´s tax increases hits them the hardest.
Or an actress cast with Samuel L Jackson
The reader comments are good. My favorite:Another Obama in the White House? I´d sooner move to North Korea.
Considering how the current administration has literally dumbed down, disrespected and cheapend the Office, Hes absolutely right. The qualifications are at an all time low.
Heck, canonize her for good measure!/sarcasm of course
#10,Snakes on the brain ... love that one!
Jackson probably has eyes on playing Bammy in a three picture deal.
How about just the queen of the Moochers?
Living in a country with Mooch as president?I´d rather disembowel myself with a spoon.
See folks this is why they killed Mace Windu off in SWROTS. To much of an dumb a-hole to keep around. Typical black liberal actor like Sammy L either doesn´t know or doesn´t care that a large percentage of us "little people" really don´t give a rip what he thinks of the First Wookie. Sadly though enough of the racist black idiots in our entertainment industry think that Chewie should be somewhere in our government. I have a good place for her but I can´t type it here.
Be afraid. Be very afraid.
All Michelle Obama has to do is read Barack Obama´s speeches to the Democrat base and she will win the Democrat nomination for President over the likes of Hillary Clinton.If the Democrats were to nominate Hillary over Michelle, much of the black vote that the Democrats absolutely need to win national elections would stay home on election day and the Democrats would loose the national election. The politicians who run the Democrat Party know that, are not about to loose the election, and would nominate Michelle over Hillary in a second.That why if Michele runs, Hillary will not run against her, and the country will end up with the Obama´s in the White House for another eight years. They are already putting out feelers talking about Hillary becoming Mayor of New York city rather then running for President in 2016.

Since visiting Greece years ago, where we first saw the "Evil Eye," we have worn the symbol in some shape or form ever since. The eye is known to protect from envy and or ill wishes from others. People in the Mediterranean believe so deeply in the symbol that they pin an "Evil Eye" to the clothes of their infants. When we saw that, we became believers too!
Our protection against the "Evil Eye" t shirt is a must have! We made it our own by incorporating a Peace symbol in the center of the eye. That way you can give PEACE while protecting yourself. It's a win win! Made with 100% cotton and genuine rhinestones.

Rockford Auburn's RAVE set is looking for potential mirror sites around the nation! Lloyd and I will be serving as head editors of this set. Between the two of us, we've written questions for Fall Novice, ACF Novice, NAQT, SCOP Novice, and the Jean-Baptiste Lully Memorial at the 2010 Chicago Open, as well as other tournaments. We will be employing the services of Saad Sheikh and Jordan Hoffmann for help with science writing and editing, and will also likely employ the services of other Auburn students, current or graduated.
Our mirror fee will be $10 per team in attendance.
Difficulty and Aims: We will be writing a set that will feature answer lines which are typically accessible for the "average" high school quiz bowl team, but our tossups will feature lead-ins which are geared towards nationally competitive teams. Similarly, our bonuses will feature very accessible easy parts, but will also feature hard parts which will look to challenge nationally competitive teams. Thus, we will look to strike a nice balance and produce a set which is not only accessible and whose playoff rounds will still feature competitive matches between beginning and middling teams, but also a set which will be legitimately challenging for top teams. In order to be very clear, though, we'll explicitly say that, on the whole, this tournament will be harder than "regular difficulty," but not to the point that developing quiz bowl teams should shy away from this tournament. On the other hand, we do not recommend this tournament to be the first varsity tournament a quiz bowl team attends. We will look to maintain a consistent difficulty throughout the set.
Format: Our tossups will be capped at 6 lines in length (in size 10 Times New Roman font) before powers are marked, and individual bonus parts will be capped at 2 lines. We will employ powers and negs. We aim to produce 10 rounds + 2 finals packets + tiebreakers, perhaps more.
Distribution: Our distribution will be as follows:
4/4 Literature (1/1 American, 1/1 European, 1/1 British, 1/1 World and Ancient)
4/4 History (1/1 American, 1/1 European, 1/1 World, 1/1 British/Ancient)
4/4 Science (1/1 Biology, 1/1 Physics, 1/1 Chemistry, 1/1 Other, consisting of Noncomputational Math, Earth Science, Astronomy, Computer Science, General)
3/3 Fine Arts (1/1 Painting, 1/1 Compositional Music, 1/1 Sculpture, Opera, Architecture, Ballet, Jazz, Photography, or Other)
2/2 RM (1/1 Religion, 1/1 Mythology)
.5/.5 Social Science
.5/.5 Philosophy
.5/.5 Geography
.5/.5 Current Events
1/1 Trash
If anyone is interested in mirroring this set, contact me at ahaseeb618[AT]gmail[DOT]com.

I normally just drink a protein shake after my workouts. I've been thinking about doing a pre-workout supplement like iso mass xtreme gainer. Should i do both or only one?
Doesn't matter. You want to have an overall balance of macronutrients, not specifically timed macronutrient intake. Hit your protein macro by the end of the day and you're good to go. If you're having energy issues during your workouts, i'd work on your pre workout nutrition. I typically eat some fruit + natural peanut butter + greek yogurt and i have plenty of energy for a 1.5 hour lifting session + 25 min of cardio.

You don't need the weight gainer at all...or the shake after working out...Why has people forgotten and forsaken Steakadrol and Methyl-Carbohydrol...what happened to good old foods...the knowledge of macronutriens , diets and healthy eating is growing scarce in this world...
>SNS-Glycophase<Serious Nutrition Solutions Rep
Sense of achievement , besides to really make use of other kind of supps (more advanced Anabolic sups , or hormonal stuff , all natty of course) you need to be really in tune with your body and diet , this can never , and I repeat NEVER be replaced or made up by any fugging supp ...Us newbies should stick to perfecting that MM connection and diet before thinking about supps! (let alone AAS , thats for people with genetic potential reached and they know what they are doing by then haha)
>SNS-Glycophase<Serious Nutrition Solutions Rep
mass gainers are a pretty big waste of cash unless you just have it to burn...if it's a convenience issue, I get that, but there's nothing a mass gainer contains that you can't get from an at-home recipe, in fact the at-home weight gainer you can make with oats, peanut butter, whole milk, olive oil, and protein powder can be far superior to what you can buy pre-made
Honestly. I think if you are taking a pre, intra, then a post workout shake won't be of much need. Just eat your whole food meal. In fact I think it's better in terms of fat loss to just eat whole foods post workout.

Trending in History
American Revolution
Although English exploration of the North American continent began at the turn of the sixteenth century, the English did not establish permanent settlements in the vast New World territory until much later. (The New World is a European term for North and South America.)
Those who chiseled out new lives for themselves in the wilderness of North America did so for various reasons—to gain religious freedom, to obtain jobs, to take advantage of new farming opportunities, to enjoy a better standard of living than the overpopulated country of England could offer, even to try their hand at "get rich quick" schemes in the bountiful New World.
As word of the New World's...
History: The South, since 1886 voted for the Democratic Party. How did the Republican Party...
The Republicans' takeover of the South began because of racial reasons and continued because of cultural reasons.
Beginning at least in the 1950s (it is worth noting that the "Dixiecrats" ran in opposition to the regular Democratic Party in 1948) the South started to move away from the Democratic Party since the Democrats were becoming the party of civil rights. Much of the South was ardently segregationist. When the Democrats started to favor civil rights (this accelerated in the 1960s), the South moved towards the Republicans.
This trend became more pronounced in the 1960s as the continuing Civil Rights Movement, the Vietnam War, and the "counterculture" all worked to push Southerners away from the...
Prior to 1820 in America, books, magazines, and other printed material typically were produced and sold locally by individual printers, binders, and booksellers, all working independently. Mechanical limitations, difficult transportation conditions, and the financial instability of the young nation made the business of publishing an unprofessional and unprofitable affair in early America. Only with improvements in transportation, such as the opening of the Erie Canal (1825), and the invention of new technologiesncluding stereotyping (1813), the steam press (1833), and advanced cutting, folding, and binding machines and materialsid businesses akin to the modern professional publishing house begin to...

World War II: How did governments convince the perpetrators who were gulity of mass...
To some extent, the governments involved in the mass killings of World War II did not have to convince their people to participate in those killings. To the extent that they did have to convince them, it was done through the use of propaganda and, to some degree, fear.
Some of the perpetrators were motivated by long-standing hatreds that were not really caused by any governmental body. For example, there had been a long history of anti-Semitism in Germany (and elsewhere) before WWII. As another example, the ethnic Russians of the Soviet Union were strongly anti-Polish due to ethnic/nationalistic rivalries. Such people did not need much convincing to participate.
Government propaganda helped to push people towards...
Quiz: History
History: What advantages did the North have over the South in the U.S. Civil War?
The primary advantage that the North had over the South was manufacturing capability. The North had already had an industrial revolution and had the ability to produce better weapons and more weapons. Obviously, this was a huge advantage for the North! The South was still dependent on slavery and this hindered their ability to industrialize.
Other advantages the North had over the South include a considerably larger population, naval power, and superior military leadership.
Middle Ages
The Middle Ages, or medieval (med-EE-vul) period, lasted roughly from A.D. 500 to 1500. It was an era of great changes in civilization, a transition between ancient times and the modern world. With the rise of the Roman Catholic Church and other institutions, Western Europe during this period grew apart from Eastern Europe, which centered around Greece and its Orthodox Church. The Middle East at the same time experienced the explosion of the Muslim, or Islamic, faith, and the region became home to a series of Arab and Turkish empires. Farther east, and in Africa and the Americas, other great empires—among them those of the Chinese, the Mongols, and the Incas—rose and fell.

1950's Lifestyles and Social Trends
Baby Boom.
The 1950s was a decade of unprecedented economic and population growth for the United States, The baby boom that had begun in the years immediately following World War II continued well into the decade. From 1948 to 1953 more children were born than in the previous thirty years, and in 1954 the country experienced the largest one-year population gain in history. Some experts worried about society's ability to handle the added burden of so many new Americans. But each new American was also a new consumer, and most people thought optimistically that the high birthrate would help to support the expanding economy.
Adding to the burgeoning...
World War II: Who were the perpetrators in the various occasions of mass killing in WWII?
There were many perpetrators of the various mass killings that happened during World War II. The most famous mass killings were what we now call the Holocaust, but there were others. Some of the perpetrators were military, some were paramilitary, and others were simply civilians.
Some of the mass killings were carried out by paramilitary units. For example, one non-Holocaust mass killing was the killing of Polish officers and others by the Soviet Union at Katyn Forest. This killing of over 20,000 military officers, police officers, and intelligentsia was carried out by members of the Soviet secret police, which could be seen as a paramilitary group.
Other mass killings were carried out by more formally military...
An Indian's Looking-Glass for the White Man
Almost forgotten until the late 1970s, the writing of William ApessApess" has become standard although the name is also sometimes spelled "Apes" Pequot, exists today in a volume of complete works and in a growing body of critical work. His extraordinary essay "An Indian's Looking-Glass for the White Man" (1833) is a powerful indictment of what Apess called color prejudice and what would today be called racism.
William Apess was born in 1798 in the small town of Colrain, Massachusetts, some distance from North Stonington and Ledyard, Connecticut, where his people, the Pequots, mostly resided on two small reservations. Early in his life his parents moved back to Connecticut and unfortunately...
History: Why did the United States enter World War I?
Since the beginning of World War I in 1914, the United States, under President Woodrow Wilson, had maintained strict neutrality, other than providing material assistance to the Allies. Even in May 1915, when a German submarine sank the British ocean liner Lusitania, killing 128 U.S. citizens out of a total 1,200 dead, the United States, though in uproar, remained neutral.
In January 1917, Germany announced that it would lift all restrictions on submarine warfare starting on February 1. This declaration meant that German U-boat commanders were suddenly authorized to sink all ships that they believed to be providing aid of any sort to the Allies. Because the primary goal was to starve Britain into surrendering, the...

History: What did the Opium Wars between China and Britain indicate regarding China's...
In order to answer this, you need to think about what the Opium Wars were about and what their result was. These were wars that were fought because the British wanted to sell opium to the Chinese while the Chinese government wanted to prevent them from doing so. The British overwhelmingly defeated the Chinese. This gave them the right to sell opium in China. It also gave them the right to get various concessions from the Chinese, allowing the British, for example, to try their own citizens in their own courts rather than making them subject to Chinese law.
So, we have a case in which the British were able to force China to grant them major concessions, including the right to sell narcotics in China. This clearly tells...
Mongol Conquests
In many parts of the world, in particular, the Arab Middle East, Europe, and the Americas, the Mongols have become synonymous with murder, massacre, and marauding mayhem. Their advent is portrayed as a bloody "bolt from the blue" that left little but destruction, death, and horrified grief in its wake. A medieval Russian chronicle from Novgorod vividly describes their impact on the region:
No one exactly knows who they are, nor whence they came out, nor what their language is, nor of what race they are, nor what their faith is . . . God alone knows (Mitchell and Forbes, p. 64).
A thirteenth-century Persian eyewitness succinctly summarized their initial impact...
History: Please explain the origin of 'Children's Day' in India.
In India, November 14th the birthday of the first Prime Minister of India Jawaharlal Nehru is celebrated as 'Children's Day.' However, the practice of celebrating November 14th as 'Children's Day' in India was begun only after Pandit Jawaharlal Nehru's death in the year 1963.
This is because in his life time Nehru was very fond of small children and spent much of his free time with them. Wherever he went in India, Nehru was always surrounded by small children. His ability to establish an immediate rapport with children was legendary.
Renaissance and Reformation
The Renaissance began in Italy in the latter half of the fourteenth century, when a group of scholars called humanists set out to revive the Greek-based culture of ancient Rome (an era known as the classical period). They took the name "humanist" because they focused on the importance of the individual human spirit and concentrated on secular (nonreligious) subjects. They set out to initiate a new age, which they called a renaissance, a term that comes from the French word for "rebirth." The Renaissance took place during the latter part of the Middle Ages (also called the medieval period), the thousand-year era that followed the downfall of the West Roman Empire in the fourth and fifth centuries....
History: What national and international events precipitated the Marcus Garvey's movement...
Both Marcus Garvey's UNIA and the KKK were nationalist organization in the United States. They were both helped to prominence in the 1920s by some of the same factors.
In the international arena, one of the major causes of their rise was World War I. Another was the rise of radical ideas such as socialism and anarchism in Europe. Both of these influenced events in the United States which, in turn, influenced the rise of these organizations.
World War I influenced the rise of these groups largely through the fact that it caused the movement of many African Americans to the North. It also helped expose some African Americans to influences from outside the country. This led African Americans to form more of a...

mm mmm mmm this is some tasty dim sum! I recommend to go monday - wednesday so you grab the 50% off dim sum, makes it so much better cos you can have that much more! Really good service, nice ambience and friendly staff. A must go when in Camden. Can't comment on the other food, have only had the dim sum, just proves how good it is.
Annie Mon Sep 2Rated as: 5/5 -
Food was terrible - straight out of the freezer and fryer with sauces from a bottle.
Unhappy Sun Nov 25 2012Rated as: 1/5 -
Good dim sum, not particularly tailored to Western tastes (hence the presence of chicken feet on the menu which, according to my dining buddy, were excellent). The restaurant is scruffy but the food is good - if you don't like authentically "Chinese" Chinese food, then you probably won't like it. But that's ok, you can go across the road to Camden Market for sweet and sour chicken balls in highlighter-orange sauce and leave this place to us.

Best Dim Sum in London!
Very traditional Hong Kong style dimmy, fast attentive service, good food. Spaces available downstairs for booking also very good.
Highly recommended, good value for moneyChristina Mon Feb 13 2012Rated as: 5/5 -
Following this review I ordered the dried shrimp and mushroom cheung fun, and a chicken dumpling. The chicken dumpling was good (although a bit dear at £3.50 for 3 dumplings), but the cheung fun - although 8 or 9 long pieces in the serving - was an utter disappointment, containing almost no filling and totally flour-y and glutinous.
I'm not one to judge a restaurant on one visit though, so will definitely go again - but during the half-price evenings mon-wed.Ashwin Tue Sep 20 2011Rated as: 3/5 -
one of the best dim sum places in town. the food wouldnt be out of place in royal china. cocktails arent half bad. excellent value for money (even at full price). ive been there twice, and i only have two complaints, the atmosphere is dull and cheap, and the service is shocking, but the food is churned out quickly. definitely reccomended though.
mark Fri Jan 7 2011 -
It was quite decent dim sum, not out of this world but decent. Go for the 50% off evening dim sum on Monday to Wednesday and you'll find it to be great value.
The portions were small-ish so do order slightly more than you would usually do when it comes to dim sum.
Service wasn't very attentive but don't worry because the food comes out pretty fast.
William Lim Tue Sep 28 2010 -
Four stars? Seriously? It wasn't bad, but it really wasn't great either. I'd probably give it two and a half stars, or three at best. We ordered six plates of dim sum. Two were really very nice, three were decent and one was awful. (The awful one was the chicken shumai - minced chicken in an open wonton case with no discernible seasoning at all). Only the first two were actually better than the standard of the equivalent Waitrose ready meal. It's not that I thought it was awful, but it certainly wasn't good enough to merit a return visit.

I always buy time out, I hope this will not disappoint me.

Absolutely brilliant dim sum - the best I've tasted in the UK. This Singaporean restaurant seems a bit shoddy from the outside (and the inside), but don't be fooled. There is nowhere in Chinatown that does dim sum this good. And it's cheap as chips.
I only wish that I wasn't accelerating the day when there are massive queues on weekend lunchtimes to get into this place. Royal China, eat your heart out....IJones Sun Mar 28 2010

Tonight is the first night of Hanukkah. Christmas Day is two weeks from today.
For the last three or four weeks, I've been deluged with press-releases from public relations firms all over the continent offering to set up interviews for me with psychologists and other "experts" who will enlighten me – and you – about "new ways" to cope with an old story – the stress of the holidays.
Holiday stress has become an industry, I think. As viable and real as any retail venture offering "seasonal specials" at wildly discounted rates.
I suspect the "stress of the holidays" is a media event, to some degree.
Charles Dickens may have had a hand it, too.
Before I go one step further, let me be straight with you. I'm Jewish. My tradition is very different. But, I confess that I have been stressed about holidays in the Jewish calendar, like Passover and the High Holidays.
However, I do not believe I have ever had a publicist approach me and propose I interview a psychologist about Passover stress or Rosh Hashanah stress or Yom Kippur stress or Hanukkah stress. Somehow, these holidays don't seem to generate the same calibre of stress. Maybe they did and I was too young to be aware of it. Maybe stories about how to weather Hanukkah stress run in Jerusalem Post. I don't know.
More likely, it's simply a question of demographics. And business.
In the Western world, Christmas is everywhere. Big Business. No matter what your religion, it's Christmas and it's contagious. So, it seems, is its stress.
As I think back, way back to my childhood, I don't recall any sense of stress or anything like it. Anywhere. It was a beautiful time.
Christmas had no religious meaning for us though we knew its origins. We went to public schools and Christmas concerts were regular annual events – and great fun. I loved singing all the Christmas carols. Still do. Especially the way Diana Krall sings them.
We were taken to see Santa Claus at Eaton's downtown Toronto flagship store (below is a picture of me at age 5, in 1953), to sit on his knee and answer the question he always asked, "And what would you like for Christmas this year?"
I was precocious. A mite like the little girl Natalie Wood played in the classic 1947 Christmas film Miracle on 34th Street. I probably lectured him on why I didn't want anything for Christmas since we don't celebrate Christmas because we're Jewish. Then, I'd tell him that my parents would probably buy me some little things for Hanukkah.
Still, Christmas was utterly magical for me. We always went to see the elaborate Christmas windows at the big downtown Simpson's and Eaton's stores. Those stores are gone and I think those delightful moveable displays are long gone, too.
They're still a tradition in New York and other major U.S. cities. Selling stuff is reserved for inside some major store, to a degree during the holidays, like Lord & Taylor in New York. But not here.
It was a tradition for us to be driven around the twinkling, glowing residential streets of my grandparents mid-town neighhourhood or ours in North Toronto after dark. Now we don't have to drive far. We've dubbed our street "'Las Vegas North."
And, of course, there was The Santa Claus Parade.
We had holidays from school. All this often coincided, depending on the lunar Jewish calendar, with Hanukkah, which had its own lovely traditions and delicious foods – like potato latkes smothered in apple sauce or sour cream. Lighting the Menorah every night for eight nights and singing the Hebrew blessings. Playing the game of Driedel, which I have never understood and still don't, with gold-foil wrapped chocolate coins, that you could eat whether you won or lost.
I remember the early days of television. My grandparents had one. I was born in October 1948. Mass marketing and advertising were in their infancy. We weren't commercialized at the age of two and three like the phenomenon of Consuming Kids today. We also weren't as sophisticated and knowledgeable either.
I don't want to sound like an old fogey bemoaning "the good old days," but I feel sad that these holidays, which should be happy, are somehow so stress-laden.
My friend, Tufts University clinical psychiatrist Ron Pies calls them the Holiday Blues, With Some Shades of Grey in an excellent post on PsychCentral about the myths and realities of suicide and depression at this time of year, too.
So, I plan to muse about The Holidays over the next little while. Not in every post. Not all the time. It may be a cathartic activity for us. Therapeutic, perhaps. Mentally healthy.
I want to open a forum for you. Come and share some of your warmest memories of this season, no matter how you celebrate – even if you escape to the south, where Christmas is snowless and sunny, but still Christmas!
Let us turn "Coming Out Crazy" into a place of respite from the stress of the season. Come and vent if you wish, if that will make you feel better. It's open season during the holiday season here this year.
You know me. Ever the cockeyed optimist, even as I face mountains of essay marking. I'll find some hummable seasonal music to keep me company.
And tomorrow night, we have our annual family Hanukkah party. Mmmmmmm. I can taste those latkes!

Just finished a play through as Elizabeth on an archipelago map. I wanted to provide some constructive criticism on how the AI handles play on this type of map.
With the new way naval units are (being able to actually destroy units outright), naval power is very important and the AI is not treating it as such. Many countries had a decent land force on their 20-25 hexagon island. However, there was nothing to prevent my ships from circling the island whittling them down. I conquered a few empires with a single land unit. City bombard was doing a ridiculous one damage, and after a few level ups my ships had the heal anywhere upgrade.
Powerful ranged units might help some, but the AI should have the ability to recognize when they are on islands or totally along a coastline and focus on building a fleet. It should also manage it just like that... a fleet. A whole bunch of ships wandering around by themselves are easy pickings for the focus fire of 3-4 ships traveling together.
I realize some people have seen the computer build more ships than others, but I can honestly say other than barbarian ships I saw one or two per empire before my space victory in 1920, on prince difficulty. It isn't simply the lack of ships, but the number of melee land units that I think needs to be addressed.
Overall an enjoyable game, hopefully will provide some insight on how the AI could be improved.

Today Research in Motion (RIMM) revealed two new phones, well over due for the market and the saving of the company, after over two years of excuses as to why they couldn't produce. Well, I won't necessary call them excuses, more so "we couldn't get the job done in time as we lose our bottom line" but the lag time has definitely not done well for the company's staying power. The question that remains is, will this bring them back into the game? Competitors like iPhone and Android have been enjoying their surge in market share as they have launched slicker products and phones and RIM hasn't. Apparently, RIM (who also stated they will be changing their name to Blackberry) has a lot to prove as many consumers have long jumped ship. Nevertheless, the company still has a global presence and hopes to rebuild their brand with newer phones which are set to hit the market mid March.
Today, RIMM loss 12%, closing at $13.86/share. Net income growth for the prior year of 2012 surged 66.84%, with sales growth down almost 10%. There are some positives about the company's balance sheet for the past year and one of them is debt. There is no short term or long term debt on the books for 2012 and their liquidity looks strong. This is proven by their 1.78 quick ratio and 0.52 cash ratio (the two most conservative liquidity ratios). They also have strong retained earnings as well as solid equity left over for the year.
With the cash flow statement, there appears to be a problem with their net investing cash flow and this proves itself under capital expenditures. But, as we know the negative capital expenditures in "other assets" should benefit the company for the future. With that said, lets just call this a positive (only time will tell).
Gross margin for 2012 was 32.92% and Apple's was 42% (not bad for a company that has waited two years to put a product out and it's market share thrown to the sharks of the new world order of technology). Operating margin for 2012 came in at almost 12%, with it's current 2013 P/E ratio at a little over 7%. Analysts estimated EPS for February 2013 has it down $0.29 for the 1st Quarter of the year, but is nothing compared to last years report which was up $0.81!! Currently, the estimate for growth for February 2013 is a horrible -136%, more than half of the hit the industry is taking which is nearly -67%. Even with an approximate positive growth of 76% for the company, the industry will topple it with more than 40 times better growth at 3,025%!!! Clearly, you can see the estimated growth for the industry will grow substantially in the next quarter, the question is who will be taking most of that growth?
Analysts are calling this stock a 3.4 out of 5, with 1 being a strong buy. That would put this stock in the category of "hold" if you still are holding shares. If you're a big option player, then you could place more than a few option plays on this stock in the coming months and also hedge your money. I'm not much of a gambler, so I wouldn't come near this stock. Globally, RIM (soon to be Blackberry) could gain some strength and I would look there for their momentum to sprang into action, but definitely not here in the US. I would strongly say if their strategy for restructure works, sales will be based on a global affair with consumers; a definite divorce of US sales would remain solid on their bottom line.

Dear Pam,
I have a 110 liters (30 gallon) tank and was interested in making it a Cichlid tank. I was wondering if you could suggest some good Cichlids to keep in this small environment (I don't want to put a fish that will be in too small of a tank). I have the tank ready to set up with a penguin® 330 and a gravel substrate but any suggestions that you have on this would be appreciated as well. Thanks in advance for your advice and time. Could you also include water conditions for the fish that you suggest? Eventually, I do want to breed the Cichlids and I am looking for colorful species. My water conditions are a pH between 7.0-7.2. I was thinking of kribs (which I know would go well in my tank), electric blue johanni, and Labeotropheus trewavasae, but am open to any suggestions. What I am ideally looking for is a colorful Cichlid that displays good color and is easy to breed in aquaria. I appreciate your taking the time to help me out with this.
Thanks, John.

Causes and Symptoms (Magill's Medical Guide, Sixth Edition)
Thiamine, one of the B vitamins, plays an important role in energy metabolism and tissue building. When there is not enough thiamine in the diet, these basic energy functions are disturbed, leading to problems throughout the body. There are two major manifestations of thiamine deficiency, cardiovascular disease (wet beriberi) and nervous system disease (dry beriberi). Each can be caused by chronic alcoholism, malnutrition, diuresis, dialysis, and high carbohydrate intake.
The accompanying symptoms of thiamine deficiency may include weakness, irritability, nausea, vomiting, tingling, or loss of sensation in the hands and feet (peripheral neuropathy). Progressed symptoms include mental confusion and difficulties speaking or walking; these are often the precursor symptoms leading to coma and/or death.

Treatment and Therapy (Magill's Medical Guide, Sixth Edition)
Thiamine hydrochloride is the initial treatment of choice for beriberi. Successful treatment reverses the deficiency and alleviates most of the symptoms. Severe deficiencies may be treated with high doses of thiamine given by muscular injection.
Alternative treatments stress a diet rich in foods that provide thiamine and other B vitamins, such as brown rice, whole grains, raw fruits and vegetables, legumes, nuts and seeds, and yogurt. Additional supplements of B vitamins, a multivitamin and mineral complex, and vitamin C are also recommended. A balanced diet containing all essential nutrients will prevent thiamine deficiency and the development of beriberi. People who consume large quantities of soda, pretzels, chips, candy, and high-carbohydrate foods made with unenriched flours may also need vitamin supplements to avoid thiamine deficiency.
(The entire section is 124 words.)
Perspective and Prospects (Magill's Medical Guide, Sixth Edition)
The first clinical descriptions of beriberi were conducted by the Dutch physician Nicolaas Tulp around 1652. Tulp treated a young Dutchman who, upon returning from the East Indies, suffered from what the natives of the Indies called beriberi, or "the lameness." Not until the early twentieth century did scientists discover that rice bran, the outer covering of white rice, actually contains something that prevented the disease, thiamine. In the 1920's, extracts of rice polishings were used to treat the disease.
Beriberi is fatal if left untreated. Most symptoms can be reversed, and full recovery is possible when thiamine levels are returned to normal and maintained with a balanced diet and vitamin supplements as needed.

Beriberi (Encyclopedia of Medicine)
Beriberi is a disease caused by a deficiency of thiamine (vitamin B1) that affects many systems of the body, including the muscles, heart, nerves, and digestive system. Beriberi literally means "I can't, I can't" in Sing-halese, which reflects the crippling effect it has on its victims. It is common in parts of southeast Asia, where white rice is the main food. In the United States, beriberi is primarily seen in people with chronic alcoholism.
Beriberi puzzled medical experts for years as it ravaged people of all ages in Asia. Doctors thought it was caused by something in food. Not until the early 1900s did scientists discover that rice bran, the outer covering that was removed to create the polished white rice preferred by Asians, actually contained something that prevented the disease. Thiamine was the first vitamin identified. In the 1920s, extracts of rice polishings were used to treat the disease.
In adults, there are different forms of beriberi, classified according to the body systems most affected. Dry beriberi involves the nervous system; wet beriberi affects the heart and circulation. Both types usually occur in the same patient, with one set of symptoms predominating.
A less common form of cardiovascular, or wet beriberi, is known as...

Beriberi (Encyclopedia of Neurological Disorders)
Beriberi is a condition caused by severe prolonged deficiency of vitamin B1 (also known as thiamine). Beriberi refers to a constellation of heart, gastrointestinal, and nervous system problems from thiamine deficiency.
Thiamine is found in a variety of foods, particularly whole grains, legumes, and pork. Thiamine serves as a coenzyme in the chemical pathway responsible for the metabolism of carbohydrates. Thiamine deficiency interferes with the metabolism of glucose and the production of energy.
Four major types of beriberi exist: wet beriberi, which affects primarily the cardiovascular system; dry beriberi, which affects primarily the nervous system; shoshin, which is a rapidly evolving and frequently fatal form of cardiovascular beriberi; and infantile beriberi, which tends to strike babies between the ages of one and four months who are breastfed by mothers who are severely thiamine deficient.
Because so many foods in the United States and other western countries are vitamin enriched, beriberi is extremely rare. In developed countries, beriberi is primarily a complication of malnutrition secondary to alcoholism or gastrointestinal disorders. Because alcoholism affects more males than females, rates of beriberi in...

Beriberi (Encyclopedia of Food & Culture)
BERIBERI. Beriberi is a disease that usually begins with a loss of feeling in the feet and then weakness and pain in walking. In many, but not all, cases the body then becomes swollen and in the most serious cases the heart begins to fail, and the patient becomes breathless and soon dies. The problem stems from an insufficient intake of the vitamin thiamin (or "thiamine") even though we require each day only about 1 milligram, which is equivalent to one 32,000th of an ounce. The word "beriberi" comes from Indonesia and may mean "weak" or "swelling," but there have been many other suggested meanings.
The disease used to be a serious problem in Far Eastern countries where white rice was the staple food and people ate only small quantities of supplementary foods. Husked rice grains provide a reasonable amount of this vitamin, but further processing, or "polishing" to rub off the bran and germ, removes most of the remaining thiamin. Washing the grains and boiling them leaves even less thiamin in the final cooked food. Unfortunately, brown (unpolished) rice goes rancid more quickly under tropical conditions and so has only a short storage life. In traditional peasant communities, where enough paddy (unhusked grain) would be pounded and winnowed each morning for the day ahead, this was not a problem. When inexpensive power machinery for milling and polishing rice was developed, this made the provisioning of the armed forces in particular much more convenient, but in Japan and other Asian countries it was followed by serious outbreaks of beriberi in the army and navy.
Infantile beriberi also has been a major cause of death among breast-fed infants in the Philippines and other communities where mothers are in a state of borderline, subclinical thiamin deficiency. Affected infants typically cease to pass urine and experience difficulty in breathing. Even those near death, however, respond dramatically to a dose of thiamin.
It is technically possible now to mix in with white rice a few vitamin-rich pellets manufactured to resemble rice grains. However, where rice-growing communities each have their own small village mill, it has been found impracticable to control such additions, which slightly increase the millers' costs. As an alternative, communities at risk can be supplied with inexpensive vitamin pills.
In developed countries thiamin deficiency is still a problem among alcoholics, partly because such addicts have highly abnormal diet patterns and partly because they seem to absorb the vitamin less efficiently. They also may show acute heart problems without any early symptoms of traditional beriberi. A small proportion progress to a syndrome with irreversible brain damage that requires indefinite hospitalization.
In many Western countries, millers are required to fortify white wheaten flour with thiamin (along with other micronutrients). Thus, even the population groups, such as alcoholics, who are eating an unbalanced diet are less likely to become deficient. It also has been suggested that alcoholic drinks should be fortified with thiamin. This would not be prohibitively expensive, but authorities have felt that, on balance, it would be undesirable because it would allow them to be marketed as "health drinks" despite the injurious effects associated with or caused by alcohol consumption, that is, automobile accidents, disruption of families, and a wide range of health problems.

Toasted Walnut
Drink it fireside
Traditional Chinese medicine says walnuts are a warming food. Which makes sense, because this is the kind of tea you spontaneously want to cozy up to on a cold winter afternoon. The comforting, lightly bitter taste of toasted walnuts is sweetened and deepened with dried pineapple, coconut, almond and organic green tea. Sip it in front of an open fire and chase away the cold.
Ingredients: Chinese sencha green tea, nut brittle, candied pineapple, coconut rasps, almond flakes, walnut bits.
