Berlin has more questions on state hospitalBy DAVE GRAM
The Associated Press | November 24,2012MONTPELIER The state appears unlikely to meet its goal of starting construction on a psychiatric hospital in Berlin before the end of this month.
But acting Mental Health Commissioner Mary Moulton and local officials in Berlin say they think the $22.5 million project is still on track.
I dont think anybody saw show-stoppers, Berlin Development Review Board Chairman Robert Wernecke said Wednesday.
Board members had questions including what sorts of trees and shrubbery would be planted on the facilitys grounds and what materials would be used to build a retaining wall.
Wernecke said he expected the state would be able to provide satisfactory answers to the questions in time for his boards next meeting Dec. 4. He said the five-member panel would then deliberate and likely issue its findings later in December.
That would delay what state officials earlier this year had said they hoped would be a November start of construction on what has been a fast-tracked project since the Vermont State Hospital in Waterbury was forced to close due to flooding from Tropical Storm Irene in August 2011.
Wernecke scoffed at the idea the state might have expected approval from his board in time to start construction this month.
To think theyre going to have a shovel in the ground the same week we have a hearing is ... optimistic, he said. I think that would be a very, very high expectation. Im sure they recognize that.
Now the challenge will be the onset of winter weather, Moulton said.
Were hoping that it doesnt freeze over in the next couple of weeks, she said.
Wernecke said the project has drawn little opposition. Three parties asked to intervene in his boards review: the town of Berlin; the Berlin Mall shopping center; and Blue Cross Blue Shield of Vermont. The shopping center and Blue Cross Blue Shield are near the site of the planned psychiatric hospital, which is to be built along a road northwest of Central Vermont Medical Center.
Wernecke said the town has been pushing for a promise from the state that if the town sets up a municipal water system something its considering the state hospital would be a customer.
Moulton said she will be talking with the town police department about any increased police coverage that might be required and how the state might support that.
The state has been under intense pressure since Irene to map the future course of its mental health system. Lawmakers last winter approved a plan to replace the 54-bed Waterbury hospital, which long had been viewed as antiquated and in need of major updating or replacement, with a 25-bed facility in Berlin and a series of smaller psychiatric units scattered around the state.MORE IN Vermont NewsMONTPELIER Officials from the Vermont Agency of Natural Resources are going to be holding a...

So, I was checking out Pathfinder Online... They have no game footage on display yet, but they're asking for money. Apparently, investors only want to invest in a company that is going the "traditional route" and making games like "WoW 1.5" (Their words, video attached)
Well, I did some research on the company, and this is what I found... Apparently, they are hiring, but only people who have worked on plopping out the same old trash we've seen for literally the past 5 years. They won't consider anyone who has worked in the field prior to WoW, or is a fresh Grad like myself.
I just found it funny. These people are not interested in making a revolutionary game. They want to make money. They can't get investors, so they want YOU to give them your money.

I think you read way to much in to it. OFc they are looking for people who have some REAL experience seeing as how many so called MMO's that never see the light of day.
That was in my mind a pretty standard job advertisment. And if you have the skills and can back that up you still have a good chance. But the fact is that "game developer" are dime a dossen these days due to every college and university offering some form of courses in game design.

I watched the video and read your post adn checked out their "job postings", and it sounds like to me, that they are just trying to get people who are expirenced in making an MMO.
I think you are misreading them wrong, or are just upset that they won't consider you?
I think you are right about them not having game footage yet though, they should have some sort of video demo so people can see what their vision is before they decide to invest.
Phlacc, read my post again.
I would never work for a company like this, I'm happily employed. After watching the video of them begging for money ($100,000 donations ONLY please, thanks! - Goblinworks), I just wanted to do some research, to see what kind of people they were hiring.
Well, it turns out, they're not looking for visionaries, or talent. They're looking for people who can produce the same shit games we already have.
They can't have it both ways. They can't say "We're making something new and revolutionary." and say "We're only hiring people who have experience in producing trash for mass consumption to make as much money as possible."
They simply don't jive.

Draw Something is now an MMO. God has forsaken us.
Do you understand that the coder isn't what makes the game revolutionary? The designer does that. It doesn't matter if you were a coder on a WoW clone or on ATITD, you aren't the designer. And furthermore having made such a mainstream MMO says nothing about your desires anyways. I know many people who worked on commercial titles who hated it and wanted to make cool games but they weren't lead designers so they didn't have a choice.
I am somewhat suspicious of Pathfinder. Generally you need a working demo or in progress engine like Repopulation has before you start begging for cash.

Agree with previous post, coders don't really have much to do with the actual design of the game which is what they're trying to do different, that comes down to the designers of the game. Also, I don't see them having working on a WoW like MMO as a requirement, the actual requirement they post is experience with a shipped videogame title. Of course they're going to give preference to aplicants that have worked semi-recently with games in the same genre of the one they're trying to do (MMOs) since that shows they're familiar with the current technologies. Plus from what I've read they're saying that they prefer someone that has worked in an MMO operating live in the last 5 years, not one that was released in those 5 years.... that could mean anything from UO and onwards (or whatever MMO is there that was released before UO and was still running in the last 5 years).
What can men do against such reckless hate?

Experience in the past 5 years means you are in touch with how things work today - as opposed to 10 years ago. A lot has changed since then: the technology and how things are run and made. And demanding that they've shipped a finished product is a huge thing since practically anyone can start something but never finish it. They want someone who has experience in carrying the product through from development to launch.
You're a grad student. Likely you have no experience of the sort.
I also think Pathfinder Online is fishy, but your reasons are just... forget it. Just think it through before you get worked up about nothing.

The Sandbox Foundation does not exist!
[mod edit] The add asked for a game designer not a lead designer. They need someone who has done this before in a recent game to do all the grunt work for them.They dont want to babysit you. They cant afford to have anyone untested at all, and the last thing they probabally want is a visionary to collide with their current visionary. You seem like trouble to me already. I wouldnt hire you if this is what happens everytime something doesnt go your way.
suck it up, get some experience, probabally as a tester and make some of your own designs and submit them to companies.
if your designs are good, someone will catch on to them.

How old are you? jokes a side have you ever been in a job interview and they did not want relevant past experience?
Q: Do you have any relevant programming experience?
A: Yes back in 1972 i used to program COBOL apps
Q: What have you done since?
A: I've been a professional dog walker
Do you think this will get you hired? Any company which is hiring needs people with relevant experience, the fact that they've worked on games you might not like does not matter, heck even if they took the lead designer of WoW and made him make a new game it does not mean it will be WoW 2.0.
People with the right skills, and good ideas can make any thing they want it might be WoW 2.0, it might not be, but the fact that they are hiring people with relevant experience has nothing to do with it.

Look, we get it - you feel they don't want you and you're upset. However you've got a very apparent sour grapes thing going on here. Personally, I put a lot more credence in the past history, past successes and present development blogs/articles of the team than in the very odd takeaway you present here from one misinterpreted job description.
There isn't a "right" or "wrong" way to play, if you want to use a screwdriver to put nails into wood, have at it, simply don't complain when the guy next to you with the hammer is doing it much better and easier. - Allein
Let me break this down one final time.
This company is saying "We want to revolutionize the MMO market. We want to make something unlike anything ever released".
Then, when you dig deeper, they are explicitly stating they will ONLY hire designers who have experience making the very thing they are trying to revolutionize.
Do you people want the same DESIGNER who worked on Warhammer Online, Age of Conan, etc designing new games?
Does no one on this site have a sense of irony, or a hypocrisy detector?

My gripe is that they're advertising one thing, and then doing the complete opposite. They're lying to people to get money.

Yeah asking for a guy to designe quests that actually worked on another game before is a horrible decision...
Specific quests and PVE encounters are not whats wrong with games these days, in fact that's the only thing that is keeping some games today alive.
WoW's problems have nothing to do with the quality of specific quests, and PVE encounters those for the most part have actually significantly improved over the years, while the whole experience of the game has diminished atleast in the eyes of "hardcore" fans.
I don't think any one would complain if you could still get some of the really cool quests and encounters we got with the expansions if the game was still as hard and demanding as it was during vanilla, and TBC.
P.S. i would suggest to you to go outside, get some real job exprience, and then complain.

I'm not seeing anything that is "clearly" them saying want someone who can create another WoW clone.
The experience working in the past 5 years, to me, is them saying "is up-to-date and knowledgable about modern technologies and methods applied to developing and running a MMORPG in the last 5 years." Things change and progress and they would, logically, want someone whos experience and knowledge of the field isn't out-dated and irrelevant.
If I saw something like "experience and working knowledge of popular, casual friendly MMOs of the last 5 years, specifically World of Warcraft, Warhammer, Lord of The Rings, etc" then I could agree that, yes, that does seem a bit fishy.
But I don't see that.
They're placing a desired window on when the applicant actually worked in the field.
For example. I used to be a web designer. I got out of the field when HTML 3.0 was just gaining presence. I haven't looked at it since. If I applied for a job that required knowledge and hands-on experience of HTML 5.0 and other current technologies, I'd be up the creek. I clearly wouldn't fit their requirements. Anything I could contribute would be out-dated the moment I wrote the first line of HTML or CSS.
I think it's the same thing here.
I agree with others in this thread, OP. I think you're reading far too much into it, and barking up the wrong tree.

That is because you think designer actually design game.
The actual job for a designer is to make sure the game works.
They dont' need ideas. Internet is full of ideas. Look around this forum. It is full of people who think they should be game designer.

Where did you get that from?
So far everything else seems pretty reasonable.
Quit worrying about other players in a game and just play.

I see nothing wrong with that job application. They're looking for expierenced people. People who have expierence have worked on games before, specifically MMOs. And they don't want someone who just programs in their basement claiming they've worked on a MMO. They want known and shipped titles as references.
A person who created WoW can go on to make a different MMO with the expierence they've gained. It doesn't take some fresh 22 year old out of college who wants everyone to listen to their ideas to do it. Fact is, in the game industry, game designer is not a entry level position. You work either in QA, Sound, Art, or Programming, get expierence and hope someone likes you so you can become a designer on the next title.

The "technology" have also changed substantialy in the past 5 years. Besides the actually game design, you need to have knowledge on the tools that creat game.

Look, the sun is out! We've been soaking it up. In between laying out slip n' slides and trips to the beach I've managed a teensy tiny bit of sewing.
Last year I made a few little quilts tops to be donated…and then they've sat waiting to be finished. I looked at them this week and realized I better get them done so someone can love them. They are finished super simple…but better done than fancy right?
The pattern is Suburbs…modified to be a large crib size. I did super simple quilting around the seams, then bound it using the quilt back with this method (so fast!).
I won't even tell you how many pots of hot water I had to add to the pool before they'd get in…my kids are cold water wimps! ;)

It has been an exciting year for the Madison-Danville Jaycees, a local chapter of the United States Jaycees and Junior Chamber International. "We began the year with some big goals and even bigger dreams. We a lot of help, we have accomplished most of them!" said Kris Richmond, 2012 Chapter President.
Established in 1920, the United State Junior Chamber is the nation's leading organization for leadership training for adults ages 18 to 41. Their mission is to provide development opportunities that empower young people to make positive change. The organization offers many benefits to their members which include courses by nationally and internationally recognized trainers and membership in JCI, Junior Chamber International. The Madison-Danville Jaycees were established in 1986. "Being a member of the Jaycees has enriched my life immensely. Along with valuable leadership skills, I have gained new friends, precious memories, and a better sense of self." Mackenzie Price, 2013 Secretary-Elect.
The chapter's primary goal for 2012 was to grow membership. Through various projects, promotions, and the media, this was a major success leading to what is called an 'internal extension' during the month of September when 11 new members were added. "Through the last half of the year, we have added members nearly every month. Although inactive members and those who have aged out are dropped, we have still had significant positive growth for 2012." said Richmond.
Known for years as the Haunted House group, the Jaycees now offer a Haunted Trail, but have moved beyond that. Chuck Mitchell, 2011 Chapter President and 2012 State Director says "We have partnered with Rev-Up Madison and STAGE for many projects. In addition, we have done our own projects such as a Fabulous 50s Dance for seniors. We have also offered Individual Development classes for our members like cake decorating and golf."
Another success in 2012 was obtaining a clubhouse. Madison City Council and Mayor Howell allowed the members to hold their monthly meetings in the Council Chambers; however, the Jaycees were looking for a place of their own. The solution came in July when Danville City Manager Josh Barker offered the group a space in the Danville Community Center. The Jaycees now meet on the second and fourth Thursday of each month at the Center and have space to store items for their projects.
The chapter accomplishments have been recognized on the state level as well. Annual and quarterly awards are given in a many areas. For 2012, the awards for three quarters have been given with the fourth awarded at the year-end banquet in February. Each quarter, Madison-Danville has come home with a variety of awards representing both individual and chapter achievements. In 2012, West Virginia Jaycee of the quarter has been won by Madison-Danville members Chris Price, Barry Stowers, and Chuck Mitchell. Rising Star awards have been given to Chris Price and Sara Price. WV Jaycee Officer of the Quarter has been won by Mackenzie Price. Award winning project are the Fabulous Fifties Senior Dance, Learning to decorate cakes, Hillbilly Steak Fry, and Learning to use power tools. The chapter won the Facebook award for their page every quarter.
Next year will be a new start with current Chapter President Kris Richmond moving on to be President of the West Virginia Jaycees. She will be the first State President from southern West Virginia since 1993. The Madison-Danville Jaycees will be led by current President Elect, Sara Price. She has a great deal of enthusiasm for the organization and looks forward to leading the group forward. "The new year is going to be an exciting one for the Madison-Danville Jaycees. We're focusing more on the community and how we can make a difference in the lives of everyone. It's going to be a busy but fun time for us."

Material is wide ranging, covering every topic from how to apply basic drum rudiments into live playing, to bass drum technique, to time keeping and how to approach practicing. A highlight is Steve's deconstruction of his drumwork on Paul Simon's "Fifty Ways to Leave Your Lover", and the amazing discussion/demonstration of his four stick technique on Paul Simon's "Late in the Evening". The segment on Samba patterns is another part I especially liked on this video.
Other material includes how to approach recording sessions, breathing techniques, and how to quickly get the essence of a piece from charts - and Steve does strongly emphasize the importance of reading music.
I am a big fan of Steve Gadd and love this DVD because it both teaches and gives rare glimpses into his thoughts and approach. Any drummer, Gadd fan or not, will learn a lot from this by watching it multiple times, letting the information sink in, and watching some more. Even after a few dozen viewings something new will surface.

This is a collection of speeches and essays by Dr. Jeyakumar Devaraj, a Malaysian opposition parliamentarian. A social activist since his university days, he is a founding member of the Parti Sosialis Malaysia and is currently a PSM central committee member. In this collection, Dr. Jeyakumar champions the needs of the common man, as well as small and medium-sized enterprises, and proposes how political systems must address social challenges.
The Korean Wave (hallyu) refers to the international spread of South Korean popular culture, including films, television dramas, online games, cosmetics, food, fashion and music. This collection of essays aims to distinguish the very unique Southeast Asian region from the very problematic and abstract label of East Asian popular culture. Instead of including such a diverse and radically different region under such an umbrella term, this collection aims to investigate how such products have been received in, and exist within these very different nations that are separate from East Asia yet are still a part of Asia and heavily connected to this region in various political, geographic and economic ways.

But when work sent him to London a month later, Shannon embarked on a wide-eyed newcomer's journey through Hong Kong - alone. She taught in a local school as the only foreigner, explored Asia with other young expats and discovered family history in Hong Kong, all while trying to hold on to her thwarted romance.
Accepting the challenge of rethinking connections of food, space, and identity within everyday spaces of 'public' eating in Malaysia and Singapore, Jean Duruz and Gaik Cheng Khoo enter street stalls, hawker centers, markets, cafes, restaurants, 'food streets', and 'ethnic' neighborhoods to offer a broader picture of the meaning of eating in public places. This book creates a strong sense of the ways different people live, eat, work, and relax together, and it also traces negotiations and accommodations in these dynamics. Simply put, Eating Together is about understanding complex forms of multiculturalism in Malaysia and Singapore through the mind, tongue, nose, and eyes.
This publication addresses issues concerning social cohesion in both Europe and Asia. Subject matter experts from Europe and Asia examine the underlying factors affecting the degree of social cohesion and civic engagement in a number of countries, including the impact of globalisation, increasing multi-culturalism, the working poor, increasing income inequality, social polarisation etc. The papers consider a number of policy initiatives implemented in various countries, assess their effectiveness and proposes policy changes.
This catalogue focuses on a group of 72 batik altar cloths recently donated to the Peranakan Museum. Families traditionally used embroidered cloths made in southern China, but in the early 20th century, the cloths began to be made of Javanese batik. Essays by Peter Lee, discussing the use and historical context of altar cloths in Southeast Asia, and by Fiona Kerlogue, on the significance of the designs on the cloths, complement beautifully illustrated entries on each cloth.
The triennial Asia Pacific Breweries Foundation Signature Art Prize was inaugurated in 2008 by the Asia Pacific Breweries Foundation and Singapore Art Museum. Recognising the most outstanding contemporary work by both emerging and established artists over the last three years, the prize puts the spotlight on compelling works of visual art from across the Asia Pacific region. This comprehensive exhibition catalogue features works nominated and exhibited during the third edition in 2014. A total of 105 works were nominated from 24 countries and territories, and a juried panel selected 15 finalist works which were shown at the museum. Staying true to contemporary practice, the entries for the 2014 edition demonstrate a diversity of medium, innovative approaches to genre and materials, and strong conceptual ideas. The critical essays and artist and nominators' statements in this volume address topical issues and collectively shed light on the region's contemporary art landscape and also on concerns and conversations relevant in society today.
To record the artist's 40 years' journey in painting, this book is published on the occasion of Journey in Art: Retrospective Exhibition by Fan Shao Hua, organised by Nanyang Academy of Fine Arts, from 21 March - 8 April 2015. This richly illustrated publication contains extensive writing from art critics, and includes many pages of artworks from the artist's early works as well as his sketches and paintings in various mediums and themes.
Huang Rui: The Stars Period is one of a very few books to be published about late-1970s avant garde art in China - and it certainly stands as one of the most extensive and insightful statements on this important genre ever attempted. Illustrated with images of more than 200 works by Huang Rui plus more than 200 archival photographs, the book goes on to describe the Stars Group, which pioneered many of the themes and techniques in Chinese contemporary art. Essays by important scholars and critics such as Wu Hung, Lü Peng and Shu Yang give additional context for this exciting period in Chinese artistic and cultural history spanning from 1977 to 1984. A number of the pictures, invitations, and magazines related to the exhibitions and events discussed in this book are newly rediscovered archival materials and are republished here for the first time.

With writings by Ronald Kiwitt, Martina Ziesse and Haffendi Anuar.
This book traces the history of the costume of Peranakan women; specifically, the sarong, kebaya, and baju panjang. The sarong kebaya is only a starting point, however, for a rich history of language, women, trade, slavery, community formation, and education. Profusely illustrated with a wealth of historical photographs and beautiful images of sarongs and kebayas from a large donation to the Peranakan Museum, as well as those in a private collection, the book will become a valuable reference. Independent scholar Peter Lee has amassed impressive documentation from primary and secondary sources in this highly readable, visually stunning book.
Time Present: Photography from the Deutsche Bank Collection is the first Deutsche Bank exhibition on international photography and features works from the 1970s to the present day by 28 renowned photographers from regions such as Japan, China, India, Europe, and North and South America. Shedding light on the relationship between photography and time, the exhibition explores the myriad ways that photography has made sense of a changing world while highlighting the various technical, formal, and conceptual methods undertaken to expand the artistic potential of the medium. This fully illustrated exhibition catalogue includes artwork captions and essays by the exhibition curators that address the complexities of seeing, and making images, through the photographic medium.
Afterimage: Contemporary Photography from Southeast Asia is a survey of the photographic practices of thirteen artists that expand the medium's field of operations as art, visual language and social practice. Using the photographic image to articulate a range of concerns related to the idiosyncratic cultural, social, political and alternative histories of Southeast Asia, these artists trace links to national and transnational iconographic legacies and shared aspects of the physical landscape. The critical essays and detailed artworks commentaries in this publication explore the commonalities and antimonies between artists, and map the ways geographic proximity informs contemporary photographic narratives produced in the region. Afterimage is an essential tool for scholars of Southeast Asian contemporary art and photography.
This is a heartwarming story told by Abby, a veteran stray cat who insists "We are not strays, we are community cats!" It brings to life the many stray cats who live in almost every community giving each cat featured in this book a face, a heart, feelings, thoughts and the same fears and happiness of the humans who can make their lives a blessing or a curse. Abby, the macho yellow male cat walks us through his very colorful adventures and experiences as he and his siblings and friends live each day to the fullest of their nine lives, never knowing whether they will be alive at the end of the day! There is never a dull moment and some harrowing matching of wits with those who hate their very existence and believe that community cats should neither be seen nor heard!
With money and freedom, a growing pool of young, well-educated and ambitious Japanese professional women are no longer submissive, demure extensions of their menfolk. They are ready to enjoy life, and with power and position four women (onna) have formed a strong supportive bond. Their friendship has withstood romantic conflicts, the fast-paced, glitzy life of Tokyo, trials of the workplace and the insulting 'ainoko' label given to one of the four. Now sordid secrets from the past have emboldened a blackmailer, threatening the very foundation of the friends' bond.
This is a groundbreaking survey of the Buddhist architecture of Southeast Asia, abundantly illustrated with new color photography and 3-D renderings. It is the first volume in a projected six-volume series that will take a new multidisciplinary approach in showing how Buddhist thought and ritual have interacted with local traditions across the Asian continent to produce masterpieces of religious architecture. The Golden Lands is devoted to Southeast Asia. Following a general introduction to the early history of Buddhism and its most characteristic architectural forms (the stupa, the temple, and the monastery), Lall examines the Buddhist architecture of Myanmar, Vietnam, Indonesia, Cambodia, Thailand, and Laos in turn. For each country, he provides both a historical overview and case studies of noteworthy structures.
Death is the inevitable fate of every single person on earth. How do we accept the inevitability of our own death? Industrialist and philanthropist Satish Modi is a member of one of the most influential and affluent families in India. Yet despite privilege and success, he discovered happiness was not synonymous with wealth-and the secret to a meaningful life begins with a fresh understanding of death. This moving, powerful, thought-provoking work based on his own reflections as well as the experiences of people from all walks of life. The result is a fascinating book that teaches us that whoever we are and whatever our aspirations in this life, it is important for each and every one of us to accept our own passing. In doing so, we free ourselves to live as fully as possible, guided by the principles of goodness, love, and compassion.

I haven't seen too many strikers do well when they have to worry about getting taken down and possibly smother fucked, mounted or submitted.
Anderson Silva:
Best Fighter on the planet.
There is nothing to buy into the hype about. Weidman is a sterling prospect and will no doubt be champ one day. The only question is, will it be while Andy is in the MW division?
Sonnen sucks! I knew he sucks after he lost to Silva. That tricky son of a gun had me fooled for 4 & 1/2 rounds, but I eventually figured out that he sucks. I also bought into the hype of the 49ers being good until they barely lost in the Super Bowl. I'll never be tricked into thinking someone is good again unless they win the title. Only the champion is good.
Big Hairy American Winning Machine
Cyclops was right
Anyone else catch the weigh ins? Anderson just kissed Weidman. Nogueira probably won't train him anymore lol.
Weidman is more wreckless when it comes to ground and pound, but far more powerful and diversified. Chris often lost position when getting leverage for ground strikes in his early UFC fights.
Weidman's submissions and sub D are infinitely better than Chael.
I think Weidman loses a close fight, then earns a rematch next year. soares whines about it like the bottom feeding scumbag he is, but eventually Silva has to face him or retire. Chris wins the rematch, but it's discredited because by then the Anderson-can-walk-on-water crowd says Anderson is too old to be taken seriously.
All manner of men came to work for the News: everything from wild young Turks who wanted to rip the world in half and start all over again -- to tired, beer-bellied old hacks who wanted nothing more than to live out their days in peace before a bunch of lunatics ripped the world in half.

The award-winning Snuzzler provides the ideal support for baby's back and head, adjusting upward as baby grows. Keeps baby perfectly supported and comfortable in any seat, and in any season! The Snuzzler reverses from plush velboa to smooth woven fabric for two distinct looks.
The unique contours work easily with all harness straps, including 3 and 5 point harness systems. The Snuzzler transfers with ease between all infant seats to provide support in car seats, strollers, jogging stroller and swings. No need to thread straps!
To stabilize wobbly newborn heads, the lower portion of the head support overlap the body support cushions.

With padding only on the sides, not behind baby, the Snuzzler does not interfere with the safety of car seat harnesses. Crash tested for safety and Machine washable for easy care.

Hi there, my name is Janice, Im in Ireland, not sure if this is a world wide forum but I found through internet searches..
Anyway in 2010, i was taken into hospital ay 31 weeks with mild pre eclampsia, after 2 days, it went to severe, i was 22, had no idea about the condition and was so scared at the thoughts of delivering my baby so early. doctors told me on a thursday they had to deliver my baby or i would die, i had severe epigastric pain, and blood pressure was going to 220 over 120 throughout the night. after meds, it would relax a bit and my doctor left on friday saying we would wait til monday.
throughout friday night and saturday bp again was very severe and i complained of headaches and nausea. by saturday afternoon, the only way i could describe how i felt was like i wanted to give up, i was so so weak, couldnt even drink a sup of water. i was in high dependency unit and mam and partner were taking it in turns being by my side as only one left there at a time. my partner had just left to leave my mam come down and say bye before the night. as my mam came in the door i begged her to get the doctors to do something, as she went out of sight, all i could see were flashes of light dropping around me and i knew something was wrong. i had of cup of water in my hands and 2 tablets and just dropped them, thats the last thing i remember until days after having an emergency section. turned out i had a pre eclamptic fit.
as you can see, this was an extremely traumatic birth and i suffered post traumatic stress for months.
I had a legal case settled with the hospital for negligence when they clearly should have delivered days early by the extreme signs. i have lost all trust in the health system in my country and am so afraid of what can happen with next pregnancy should there be one.
my own local gp tried to get me to drop the legal case (turned out she was a friend of the doctor involved) so i have lost trust with her too. She tells me I will be grand for another one but from my own research it looks like i would be taking a high risk. my boy is great now, 3 next week and is a star!
im really hoping you might be able to tel me your experiences with 2nd pregnancies?? or anything at all, i have the same partner, and we would love a brother or sister now for our lo,
thank you so much for reading

Higgins: Christmas list haunted by Christmas PastWritten by Tim Higgins | | firstname.lastname@example.com
It's that time of year when I can't seem to avoid the misdirected missives on behalf of Toledo's public servants originally intended for another overweight guy with a white beard. As I've mentioned before — and contrary to "Miracle on 34th Street" — the botched delivery of these written appeals by the post office doesn't constitute irrefutable proof that I'm the one, the only … blah, blah, blah.
I did receive a pleasant note this year from "Himself" again (we often visit near year's end to compare unrealistic diet goals and white beard grooming tricks), apologizing for the annual mix-up and insisting that I once more had permission to use those I'd received for my own twisted purposes before sending them on to him, along with my own suggestions.
Letters poured in for former Mayor Carty Finkbeiner, who is rumored to be sniffing around the Council seat soon to be vacated by Mayor-elect D. Michael Collins. My personal recommendation was instead a one-of-a-kind DVD titled "Carlton S. Finkbeiner, This Is Your Life" to keep him caught up in watching his past so he might forget about a returning to public life and finally rest on his rather thorny laurels.
What do you get the Ghost of Christmas Past? That's what I asked myself while reading the requests from another former mayor, Jack Ford, after his return to Council. Ignoring the suggestions for voice change software for his Council seat or a turntable that played vinyl only at 78 rpms, I favored the prohibitive (and rather obvious) favorite: a year's supply of Red Bull.
The missives for three potential City Council members were likewise obvious. Theresa Gabriel, Larry Sykes and Adam Martinez all had requests sent to the big guy to find a few ballots with their names checked that hadn't been counted yet under their tree. Since these three candidates are fewer than 100 votes apart to win their seats (and two separated only by five votes), I was kind of curious myself. Santa however, responded that there are lines he won't cross. Besides, he said, any effort on his part would be amateurish by comparison with those of the local Board of Elections (BOE), who've been doing such an amazing job of finding votes for "good little candidates" that Ohio's Secretary of State keeps almost as close an eye on them as Santa does.
Speaking of those pesky little vote counters, the members of the Lucas County BOE actually received a couple of letters with group gifting suggestions that were mostly unprintable.
In spite of the list they're on, however, who could disagree with the idea of them finding a copy of Ohio's Constitution, a calculator and a copy of the CD "101 Versions of Kumbaya" under their trees in the hopes that they'll learn how to follow the rules, to count and to play nice before the 2014 election?
Letters for confirmed new City Council member Sandy Spang were mostly sarcastic recommendations for NoDoz pills, antacids and even noise-canceling headphones. It seems more practical to pass on a request for patience and luck. She'll likely need an abundance of both.
Rob Ludeman received letters this year, but I'm not sure there will be a gift under his tree. Councilman Ludeman did nothing wrong in his successful return efforts, but he's a Republican who was largely ignored by the Lucas County Republican Party while simultaneously being noticed (if not forgiven for being Republican) by Toledo voters. Sounds to me like Santa's delivered already.
Speaking of Republicans, in spite of my endorsement, Councilman Tom Waniewski seems to be on the "Naughty" list again for not playing well with others (i.e., pointing out when they're wrong). I'm nevertheless trying to secure him copies of "Silver Streak" and "Unstoppable" on DVD for Christmas so he can take a break from his own efforts and watch someone else attempting to stop a runaway train.
Most of the sitting members of City Council (not up for re-election this year) received few dispatches, and many of those included questionable (if not tasteless) gift suggestions like: "the sense God gave a goat," placement on a cranial-rectal reversal or spine replacement surgery list or a copy of the "Stuck on Stupid" Dictionary.
I couldn't pass these on in good conscience, but understand that they and other Council members might well be receiving boxes of stationery this year. (Wow!) These sets contain "special envelopes" that fill themselves out to facilitate automatic matching personal donations by Council members to charities that they feel deserve taxpayer funding. No paper or stamps are included, however, since this gift will likely be treated like the pajamas from grandma that get buried in the bottom of a drawer and never see the light of day again.
There were a number of letters for outgoing Mayor Mike Bell, who promised before his first campaign that this would be his last roundup. Perhaps the best gift he could receive from Toledo then is a simple tip of the hat and a classic sunset in which to ride off on his Harley. I hope he gets it. I also hope he doesn't ride so far that he won't drop a note from time to time to let us know how he's doing.
Incoming Mayor Collins had a couple of things on his list, some more simple than others to fulfill. I tried to get him a new address book with a couple of the old pages torn out before he named his transition team, but failed. He'll likely receive a book on parenting skills, though, to guide him through the difficult first days as a grown-up dealing with the obstinate and sulky behavior of the kids he used to hang out with. (Don't we always get children like ourselves?) Less easy to obtain (and perhaps impossible for even Santa to fulfill) will be some domestic investors for real estate projects the new mayor might attempt once in office.

Exclusive Toys Sell Out Saturday; Todd Holds Autograph Signing
Friday, February 06, 2004
For the second year running, McFarlane Toys and spawn.com invaded the NFL Experience, this year in Houston for Super Bowl XXXVIII. Following up last year's LaDainian Tomlinson and Junior Seau exclusive action figures in San Diego, the city of Houston received credit for their current and past football success with special figures of current Texans quarterback David Carr and former Oilers running back Eddie George.
The David Carr figure was painted in the Texans alternate red jersey and showcased the quarterback's taped-down wedding ring on his left hand. Eddie George went from a Heisman Trophy-winning Buckeye to a first-round selection of the Houston Oilers, starting all 16 games in 1996 – the final season before the franchise relocated to Tennessee and eventually changed its name to the Titans. Only 5,000 of each figure were produced. Regular Yao Ming figures from our NBA 5 lineup were also available at the booth for the local basketball fans.
The first official day of the NFL Experience show was Thursday, Jan. 29. The line to purchase the toys wrapped around two-thirds of the entire collectibles area before doubling back on itself. Everyone who stayed in line Thursday was able to purchase a set of exclusives, and brisk sales on Friday and Saturday led to the final set of Carr and George figures being purchased Saturday at 2 PM.
Saturday also offered a special treat for our fans as Spawn creator and McFarlane Toys owner Todd McFarlane was seated in the autograph booth (next to five NFL stars and one NASA astronaut) from 4-6 PM. Following his "official signing," Todd came over to the McFarlane Toys booth and spent the next three hours talking with fans, signing more autographs and even drawing original sketches for some very happy folks.

iPad App Store updated to include search filters, install buttons
Looks like Apple has made some changes to the App Store on iPad, including adding a slew of filters and will even let you know if any of the resulting apps are already bought/downloaded by giving you a new Install button.
New filters include Category, Release Date, Customer Rating, Price, and Device, as well as a Reset Filters option. Since App Store, like iTunes is really just an app-wrapped, internet powered, WebKit UI Apple can make all sorts of changes without having to wait for a new iOS version to ship. Usually these are just content features, banners, etc. (or the addition of Ping...) but it's nice to see new functionality sneak in every once and a while.
Also new, if you've already bought or downloaded an app but it's not currently loaded on your iPhone, you get an Install button instead of the usual Buy button.
Andrew also noticed that if you leave a search to go to Featured or Top Charts, etc. and then tap the search field at the top right, you're whisked right back the previous search results, sans keyboard.
So what do you think, welcome new features?
[Thanks Peter and Trevor!]

iPad App Store updated to include search filters, install buttons
No, the installed buttons are not new, but the "install" is. Usually if you deleted an app earlier and want to go back to re-download it, it shows up as "buy", which can be confusing at times if you've downloaded a whole slew of apps before.
This new feature is a nice way to quickly check and see that it's already purchased in your account instead of making a guess to see whether or not you need to roll the dice and buy it again to determine whether or not the purchase was already in your account history.
So wish I had an iPad....
REALLY like this feature. I agree, I wish this was in iTunes, I hate having to try to add to the wish list or having to search my email to see what apps were purchased.
But at least I can see it through the iPad app store. That's something, at least. And is a sign of things to come! :)
TiPb Team,
I just thought that I would let you know that not only does the iPad App Store now include Install buttons, it also includes Update buttons on the App's page if the app is already installed but needs updated. I still prefer the Updates page, but this is a nice touch for the App Store.

Women's Tennis Downed by No. 68 Virginia Tech
MORGANTOWN, W.Va. – In a neutral site match held at the Charleston Tennis Club in Charleston, W.Va., the West Virginia University women's tennis team was defeated by No. 68 Virginia Tech, 5-2.
"Again, we fought hard today," said coach Tina Samara. "Our girls need to understand the importance of displaying intensity from the first point. If we can do that, we will start to see some gains on the court."
The Hokies (7-2) began the day by earning the doubles points, as they took two of the three doubles matches.
Seniors Emily Mathis and Audrey Wooland earned the lone doubles victory for the Mountaineers, as they defeated Emily Lauten and Ilinca Stoica, 9-8 (4). The victory was the duo's team-leading sixth doubles win in eight matches this season.
"In the No. 1 doubles match, we went down 4-0 and rallied back to 7-6," Samara said. "Not getting the doubles point hurt us. We have to stop starting slow in our matches."
In singles play, WVU received victories from Ikttesh Chahal and Hailey Barrett.
Chahal earned her third singles win and second in as many weeks by defeating Kelly Williford, 6-2, 6-3.
Barrett's win, which was her third of the season as well, knocked off Isel Martinez-Marcos, 6-3, 6-3.
"Ikttesh and Hailey did a great job of taking care of business against two solid players," Samara said. "We will need the same type of effort from them tomorrow in order to compete for a win."
Virginia Tech closed out the match by winning at No. 1, No. 4, No. 5 and No. 6 singles.
At No. 1 singles, Audrey Wooland nearly defeated Ilinca Stoica, but she fell short in the third set.
"Audrey was so close to breaking through for a win," Samara said. "She has to continue to get fit in order to get wins against opponents of that caliber, especially when it comes down to the third set. Emily and Vivian battled, but they couldn't make things happen. It is not going to get any easier, but we are proving that we are knocking at the door against these ranked and much more established programs."
The Mountaineers (1-7) return to the court on Sunday morning, as they take on Marquette (9-5) at 10 a.m., at the Ridgeview Racquet Club.
No. 1: Ilinca Stoica (VT) def. Audrey Wooland (WVU), 4-6, 6-2, 6-3
No. 2: Hailey Barrett (WVU) def. Isel Martinez-Marcos (VT), 6-3, 6-3
No. 3: Ikttesh Chahal (WVU) def. Kelly Williford (VT), 6-2, 6-3
No. 4: Raluca Mita (VT) def. Emily Mathis (WVU), 6-3, 6-4

Aiken County is now searching for a new Recreation Department director now that Brad Barnes is no longer in that position, according to Aiken County Administrator Clay Killian. Assistant Recreation Department Director Emory Langston is also no longer employed with the department, but may be transferred to a different department in the future, Killian said.
Killian referred to Barnes' situation as a "personnel decision" and offered no further comment on the matter. He said the assistant director's position with the recreation department will no longer be funded based on recommendations from the master plan for recreation currently being devised by Clemson University's Department of Parks, Recreation, and Tourism Management.
Consequently, the County is currently discussing options with Langston about transferring to another department, Killian explained.
With the changes, Vincent DiPietro, the supervisor at Boyd Park Pond, will be taking over the department in the interim.

Manning up, Dirk Manning scares up some 'Love Stories (to Die For).'Written by Jeff McGinnis | | email@example.com
Dirk Manning smiles. The Toledo-based horror comic book author has made audiences the world over cringe with delight during the course of his career, with stories like "The Tales of Mr. Rhee" and "Nightmare World" garnering a huge following.
His latest work is a departure in more ways than one. "Love Stories (to Die For)" — which, like most of Manning's work, began life as an online comic — comes to print with two previously unpublished stories brought together in one double-length book.
"I tell people that 'Love Stories (to Die For)' is very scary and very romantic. Just like me. As the title suggests, they are very horror-infused love stories," Manning said in an interview with Toledo Free Press Star. "One of them is a vampires versus Vikings story from the Middle Ages, and the other is a futuristic story about three people trapped on a space station overrun with aliens, and there's only one escape pod left for two people."
The series originated as a series of stories on the website Shadowline (shadowlineonline.com). Three installments were posted there, leading to the publication of this set of two new stories. And Manning said there's plenty more where those came from.
"The reaction has been incredibly positive, people really stoked about it. So I'm definitely hoping to do more stories in this format. This is the successor to 'Nightmare World,' in a way," Manning said. "I would love to do more."
The introduction of "Love Stories" to print is just one part of a roller coaster month for Manning. He is also preparing to take over for an arc on Big Dog Ink's series "Legend of Oz: The Wicked West," which reimagines the classic L. Frank Baum franchise as a Western.
"I'm getting to do the flying monkeys, which … is a little in my wheelhouse anyway," Manning noted. "That's some of the scariest pop culture characters out there."
It's a bit unusual for Manning to work on such a project for a few reasons — not the least of which being that he almost always works with in his own universe, with his own characters.
"For many, many years — most of my career, almost all of my career — I've been staunchly creator owned," he said. "I do my own thing. I did 'Nightmare World,' I did 'Tales of Mr. Rhee' … 'Farseeker,' 'To Die For,' everything has been creator owned. And, honestly, it took a certain property for me to say, 'Yeah, I'd be willing to do that.'"
Then there's the Kickstarter. With an eye on bringing his enormously popular online series "Tales of Mr. Rhee" to print, Manning will launch a specialized fundraiser on the website around the end of the month — a process that he's actually had some misgivings about.
"'Mr. Rhee' was a book that would be a perfect Kickstarter. People really like it, it's self-contained, it's done. I even had a great cover artist on board, Riley Rossmo, who did 'Proof' and 'Cowboy Ninja Viking,' who wanted to do the covers — very well established artist. So all the pieces were there, but my dilemma was, I couldn't pull the trigger because I didn't want to cut out the comic shops."
The solution: Offering fans that back the Kickstarter a deluxe hardcover edition of "Mr. Rhee," exclusive to them, then creating a straightforward paperback for the direct market.
"I'm going to be telling people straight out … what I want to do with Kickstarter is to raise the funds to produce a really nice hardcover for everyone that contributes, and there'll be other bonuses they can get," Manning said. "But also raise the money so that we can print a direct market edition, so that comic shops and casual readers — people who don't want to spend money on a hardcover, who would rather spend 15 bucks or 20 bucks on a paperback — can."
In support of all these projects, Manning is heading out on his most ambitious tour ever — 13 signing dates over the course of 13 weeks, with appearances at numerous comic shops and conventions all throughout Ohio and Michigan. But the one he's most nervous about? Right here in his own backyard — a signing at Seann's Anime and Comics in Sylvania at 2-6 p.m. Sept. 28.
"It's one of those things where I come home and I do a signing in Toledo, and my biggest fear is to show up and be in the comic shop for four or five hours and, you know, crickets," Manning said. "So it's much more frightening to do a hometown signing than to be out on the road. Come hang out with me, kick it. It's a rare, old-school hometown appearance."

I was impressed by Alistair. I didn't think he would be able to neutralize mirs guard like he did.
"If a man with no arms and a man with no legs started learning karate, the same light bulb would appear over every head in Japan. Thats right: Glue them together and see if it can kill a panda."
Man Dana must be on his period or something, I have not heard anything nice or intelligent come out of his mouth in quite some time.
I think Overeem looked pretty good in that fight. He stayed loose, was light on his feet, and moved around a lot (instead of plodding forward). It is still hard to tell if he can pull off this kind of performance against a higher ranked guy, but it will be interesting to see if he can get some wins together again.
He's been in a bad mood since the GSP fight.
"If a man with no arms and a man with no legs started learning karate, the same light bulb would appear over every head in Japan. Thats right: Glue them together and see if it can kill a panda."
Got a lot of soul searching to do. Sorry to everyone I've let down
He should be lobbying hard for a rematch with Bigfoot if the suspension timeline is right. That's what makes sense right now.
You say shark I say hey man, Jaws was never my scene and I don't like Star Wars
Alistair Overeem responds to Dana White's 'crappy' criticism: 'Sometimes you have to play it safe'
Alistair dropped by The MMA Hour two days after his victory to defend his performance and respond to Dana's criticism.
His words:
He continues:"Dana's a very upfront character. I like that about him, I like to know where I'm at. He's entitled to his opinion, as we all are. Do i think it's fair? I think it was a very technical performance. It is what it is. I can't make more of it now. I can understand him, he's a promoter, he wants to have exciting fights. Ratings matter, fans matter, fans want exciting fights. That is important. I hope he also understands my position. I mean, of course I'm fighting in a loser leaves town match, so of course, for me, and also since the Travis fight, that has been a factor, a lot of things about my cardio. Sometimes, in life, you don't always get what you want. Of course, I'd rather had punched him out in one minute, but then, I would have gotten, 'Yeah, but he can't last three rounds.' Then maybe I wouldn't have learned my lesson from the Travis fight."
In addition, Overeem admitted to "playing it safe" -- something he said you have to do at times -- and fought to secure the win. Something that will likely add fuel to White's fire."Listen, I'm still that guy that wants to knock people's head off. But it is important to have that switch. Sometimes it's not possible. You can want it as hard as you want, and if I look at my history, my last fight, that was my downfall, going for that knockout. So, it's logical and I hope that viewers back home and everybody watching can understand that."
There are many paths to freedom, not all are peaceful
Mir's face didn't look "safe" to me but you could tell he was only going at 70-80% and the guys I was with noticed the same thing.
Personally, I liked it. Guys in boxing have been doing similar for years in order to get more rounds and test out newer training techniques. That being said, everyone wanted to see reem do the hulk smash.
You say shark I say hey man, Jaws was never my scene and I don't like Star Wars
Overeem made a very good fight. He absolutely dominated Mir and did not gassed.
If Dana was a former fighter, or at least had any idea about what it is to be a fighter, he would understand that when you dominate 2 guys, and at the end you get KOd, then you must definitely change something for your 3rd fight, specially when you know that if you lose this one, you lose your job.
But Dana is just a former aerobic instructor, and he would be now working at McDonalds if it was not for the Ferttitas, so you could not expect anything intelligent to come out of his mouth.
It is a little bit what happened with Fedor. He lost to Werdum and Hendo because he rushed to finish the fight and got caught.
So then, in the Monson fight he played it very safe.
Overeem maybe indeed could have finished Mir, but after 2 loses like those, obviously you will not take risks.
As for his callout, well it was maybe a bit weird but it was not that bad. Anyway if Brock returns, I am sure that they will not match him against Overeem.
Overeem vs Cigano is a real possibility now. Overeem vs Hunt is another good option.
Not only brazilians can do this stuff
Reem vs Skyscraper
