Lydia I like to be careful too about not advertising that we are going out of town.
Chrissy, OMG, I would be livid about the toilet. Seriously that should be priority beyond anything else.
And I'm sorry about the truck....is it U-Haul? I had such an awful experience with them when we moved across state and not having a truck like promised....I had to fight with them to get my money back (they tried to charge us for canceling when it was their fault). I got lucky and Budget had a truck available and were so much nicer to work with.
And I'm really sorry to hear about the heat. It's been that hot by me and it's not fun. I can't imagine moving in it. Maybe you guys can do most of the unloading after dinner? It cools off somewhat at night.
Okay, finished back reading...
Myles sorry your boss is weird. It would upset me if I asked a question and couldn't get a response and especially if they were supposed to have trained me and didn't do a thorough enough job.
I also am not a twitter-er. No idea what a hastag was until it was explained. The sound of it brought "fag hag" to my mind which is something that my friend jokes about. He once said that a lady with a gay couple was their fag hag and explained to me what it was, basically Grace from Will & Grace, so I was like "I guess I'm your fag hag then. He assured me I am not but we joke about it now sometimes that I will go fag hag crazy on somebody who messes with him LOL.
And Chrissy, I would also be upset about the toilet. When we moved in our current house one of our toilets didn't work and I made to sure to fix it immediately and we have 3 bathrooms. There is nothing worse than no plumbing. We also didn't have hot water for a while until I figured out what was wrong with the hot water heater. It just needed a heating element. DH was content with us never having hot water and I am too cheap to pay a plumber or electrician something that I can MAYBE fix myself so I researched it and figured it out after trying a few different things. I am pretty good with toilets too. My DH can fix a lot of things, he is very handy but procrastinates so I don't like to wait on him to do anything for me. If it is something I do not feel comfortable fixing (most electricity/wiring problems) I will tell him that I am going to call someone to fix it and that will usually make him get off his ass and get it done.
The bright side of the uhaul delay is he has plenty of time to fix the toilet. I hope he can get right up there and get it. This is our second time using uhaul and our 2nd problem with them. I can't recommend them and will never use them again. Even if it means paying twice what they're asking to someone else. They're just not worth the hassle.
Dam* I just KNEW it was Uhaul. Even almost 5 years later, every time we see them, we comment about them and trash talk them.
This last move we did a year ago....we hired movers. Best thing we could have done. We brought over stuff ourselves for a week before and moved quite a bit. But anything big we saved for them. My parents were up helping with the truck but my dad has a pacemaker now and DH didn't want to get hurt like the time before when he pulled a groin muscle.....and I'm just kind of useless with moving since I'm not all that strong. God I hope to never have to move again but if we do, it will be a moving company coming over to do the moving....I'm good at packing though!
I'm too anal to let someone else do it. Rich is good about that stuff and I still have a hard time trusting him to do it 'right' (ie my way!)
No truck showed so shortly before noon I started calling around. I got helpful advice to call the toll free uhaul number so they could locate a truck for me, but when I called it they said they couldn't do that and transferred me to the office where our original rental was!!! Those people hung up on me and I didn't even get an opportunity to chew them out.
So I called Ithaca and the first Uhaul place up there happened to have a 24' truck so I took it. Rich is enroute right now to get it.
When we moved here we'd rented a 26' truck and had it reserved for over a month. When I went to pick it up some CEO or head-honcho at Uhaul called to 'ground' the truck on us. Meaning, they were sending someone else to pick it up even though WE'D had it reserved and those people didn't. The ladies in the office got hot and bothered about it and eventually just let us take it. I was on my phone calling Ryder (another truck rental company) and had found one in Binghamton so I'm sure that helped them decide. The head-honcho wanted us to use a 17' truck instead because we were "local"
Ugh. No more Uhaul. I've learned my lesson.
Ok so my story is that I had two weeks to move...I had taken a new job. So I called first thing and reserved a truck. We were in Milwaukee so plenty of options. And it was not college moving season. So the day before, they suddenly "didn't have any locally". So I was like, ok what about my hometown since my parents were upcoming up to Milwaukee anyway or even northern IL. Nothing. Oh but they could get us one in Fond du Lac...two hours north of me. So they wanted my dad to drive 2 hours north, 2 hours back do Milwaukee....and on top of that the drive was 5 hours to get to the new city. Um NO. I called around, locally a Budget truck the same size was available, we got it, we moved. Cancelled the UHaul and they charged my credit card I think $75 for not giving them 24 hour notice. Hell NO. I called them and said I didn't cancel because of me, it was because THEY didn't have a truck for me. I got bounced around and got nowhere so I started got my credit card company involved. Took a few months but I eventually won.
Budget was so much nicer in person and on the phone....and that was before the Uhaul issues that they weren't that nice on the phone.
As far as movers....anything really delicate like artwork we did move ourselves. We left them things like the couch, entertainment center, the big TV (not a flatscreen so heavy and akward) my bedroom furniture (which was on a second floor at the old place and was solid wood...and the armoire is one giant piece)....things were insured and we watched them load the truck and were there when they unloaded. We just didn't have a lot of help since we don't have brothers and my dad just is just not as young as he used to be.
Uhaul sucks!
So sorry about the Uhaul issues! I'll make a mental note not to rent from them. That's crazy.
Lydia, we missed you!
I'm back from the gynecologist. I can't quite make up my mind whether that was a totally wasted appointment or whether it was helpful. She didn't examine me, no bloodwork or anything. I'm not pregnant, I got my period yesterday afternoon. She asked how long we'd been TTC and I told her and she asked if I had regular cycles, which I do for the most part. She immediately said it must be a sperm issue with DH and he should have that tested because, she said, 40% of infertility is caused by sperm issues and 40% is caused by not ovulating and if I have a period every month, I ovulate. I do think I ovulate, but she seemed awfully certain of that and that it was DH's problem. I had written in my paperwork that I have a clotting disorder and she was completely unaware of it until I managed to get a word in edgewise to tell her that. I mean, literally there was a stream of talking for several minutes of her telling me it was DH's problem until I could explain myself. Then she immediately said I needed to see an RE (which I knew, but don't know if I have insurance coverage for). The one thing that made me like her is that she is the first doctor who has agreed with me that I am likely having repeated early losses. Every other doctor just tells me I'm crazy and it's really common to have a chemical. So I do like her ... I think. But basically she told me to go to the RE and come back when I was pregnant. Oh, and I should schedule an annual sometime, too.
She also said the RE might want to put me on prednisone (sp?). I haven't heard of that. Ironically, my dog was at the vet this morning to get a re-check for his ear infection and the vet prescribed him prednisone because apparently there is a polyp in his ear. DH said I could take some of Nero's. I understand prednisone causes weight gain - MIL's dachshund was on it and gained so much weight his belly touched the floor when walking. I would think that would not be healthy when TTC... I'm not really sure I want Nero to take that if it's just for a polyp, to be honest.

My cousin took that prednisone for her clotting disorder and ballooned up like 50 lbs of weight gain. She was on a pretty high dose though. I hope you get some results soon!
Yeah, that doesn't sound good for TTC.
Me (40) DH (47) & furbabies * m/c 7/08 4/12 11/12
OK. I just needed to get that out. I'll fill you guys in later. Just having a bad morning.
Mandy I am SO sorry AF showed An RE is probably going to want DH to get a SA. I am not sure the course of action for a blood cotting disorder relative to TTC. I know I read about it at one point and time, but for the life of me can't recall what it was. If your gynecologist is willing to write you a referral to an RE and you find a good RE who is willing to code things correctly than your insurance might cover testing even if it doesn't cover infertility.
Things are a little crazy, but I'm loving every minute of it My Blog
Prednisone is a good drug when used correctly but I think that usually it is for reducing inflammation. I know I was on it a while in high school for asthma.
I would say that gyn is right in that half the time it is the man and half the time the woman. And sometimes both. We had DH tested first thing because it's really such an easy and inexpensive test. he came out fine. And we do know for sure that I ovulate. We tested all the hormones and those were ok too. And it's been four years of trying. Well I'm done trying though at this point. I did not have an HSG so there might be a blockage though I have had an STD, PID, or any kind of infection so my risk would be low for that. Insurance does not cover IF so didn't see a point in an HSG and spending the money when we knew that IVF and even IUI was not right for us.
You said that there is a clotting disorder, right? Have you ever tried a daily baby aspirin?
Sorry, guys. I don't want to make a big deal about me. It just seems like I've been sleeping more and still feeling more tired than usual. I have a hard time finding time to exercise right now (and I feel really weird when I don't get out and do something). I've tried to take Bodhi out to the beach for a walk, and he's still not much of a walker. 2 times this week, he preferred to dawdle or jump off a log over and over again. Or worse still, he fixates on something back in the car and tries to steer me back there the whole time. I only get to spend a couple hours with him each night, so I don't want to force him to go where I want to go, but it's very frustrating.
Last night, he took a swat at me when he was almost asleep. When I asked him not to do that, he deliberately hit me again. So I got up from out of bed with him and left for awhile. He started freaking out and crying "Da da! Da da!" So DH went in and put him to sleep and I didn't get to say good night to him. B woke up in a really feisty, demanding mood this morning. As I was leaving, he clung to my leg and said "You don't want to go to work. You want to stay with me. I don't want to go to school." I just felt tired and sad that he was saying all those things, so I started crying.
DH came out and saw me and said "What's wrong"? I explained to him why I was sad, and instead of being soothing to me or B, he scolded B: "You made mommy cry!". Which was absolutely the wrong thing to say to him at that time, totally insensitive to what B was feeling. So I had to just put on a cheery face and tell B how much fun he was going to have at school today and how I was going to come home and play in the sand with him after I got back. It was just so hard to go off to work this morning. I think DH's reaction was a defensive one because he feels the responsibility that I have to go to work.
I didn't want DH to feel that way. Last week, he got a big movie studio client that has lots of work for him and didn't blink at all over how much he charges. And that's really good for us. So I def didn't want to make him feel bad about his contribution to the family. Maybe I shouldn't have cried this morning if it was going to make DH feel like a finger was pointed at him, but I was just sad to see Bode having a hard time with me leaving this morning.
Thanks for listening.
Mandy, I'm sorry to hear that your MD appt. was discouraging. It's great that she listened to you about the early losses, but hopefully she'll get better about making discussions more back and forth for the two of you. Are you going to pursue the question about your DH's sperm as well since she brought it up?
Lydia, welcome back. I was wondering about where you'd gone off to. Hope it was gorgeous there. My DH has never been and I'm dying to take him to Snake River country.
I also want to add that we are also NEVER EVER NEVER EVER going to use Uhaul ever again. Not only did they give our reservation away to someone else, they most likely lied about why, and another time, DH was helping a friend do a long distance move and the truck broke down 150 miles out of town. They are the worst company ever.
OK. Back to your regularly scheduled programming. Now I want to find some yummy chicken...
Sorry Myles It sounds very trying. Dh feels that way too, that he spends only a couple hours a day with Josh so he tries to steer Josh towards what DH wants to do, and it just doesn't work that way.
I agree your DH's reaction was probably defensive.
We haven't had a problem with uhaul to my recollection. We have never hired movers. Something about other people packing or moving my stuff...I don't want that.
I had a tiring day...I took Josh to his swim lesson which didn't go great, but not terrible either I guess. Before we went, DH called and we planned to meet at Panera after the lesson for lunch. Well after the lesson I realized I didn't have my cell phone so I went all the way home to pick it up in case DH needed to call me, and then all the way back out in the opposite direction to Panera. When I got there DH wasn't there. So I called him...turned out he was at a different Panera in the same town! And we'd wasted so much of his lunch break already we didn't have time to meet but he's getting out early today so he should be home in the next couple hours.
Hey lovely ladies. I'm here, just quiet, but keeping up with y'all. I'm at sort of crossroads (not relationship related, fyi) and doing some serious thinking. I'm just feeling like I really need to look inward on this one and figure things out for myself.
to y'all.
I do not look forward at all to having to leave the baby at home and go to work. I like work a lot and even now I don't really like leaving the house in the morning and would rather be at home with DH and Cosmo.
Kate, I'm sorry about the lunch meeting confusion!
Bridget....I hope that you get things figured out. It's always hard to be at a crossroads.
I'm actually having a great day. I have this friend that I love like a sister...we have known each other since we were 15 and she calls my parents mum and dad. One problem though....she lives in France. It's been months and months since we last talked though she has sent pictures of her little boy. Anyway, we were both on FB today and chatted for like an hour and on Saturday she is either calling me or we are going to skype. Chatting with her totally made my day and I really missed talking to her.
Hugs, Myles. I've been having a rough time with Travis lately, too, and my patience has been worn thin. But tomorrow is a new day and i'm determined to get through this with everyone smiling.
I don't know what my insurance does and does not cover as far as IF goes. I've really been hoping I wasn't going to have to go down that road but either way, IF or adoption, it's going to be expensive so I'm just going to have to figure things out.
I have not tried baby aspirin. After my cousin died, my aunt and uncle were put on a course of B vitamins and folic acid. Their doctor did testing to check their levels of something called homocysteine (which helps the blood clot) and then prescribed the B vitamins to keep the homocysteine levels to where they should be. My parents heard that's what they were taking and then started their own B vitamin regimen and added a low dose baby aspirin, and also gave everyone in the family bottles of B vitamins etc. for Christmas that year - well intentioned but slightly overboard which is how my parents are about everything. They never had their levels checked, which is what indicates the need for regulating it and so they don't know whether they were high or not. At this point their doctor told them not to stop because he doesn't want the levels to go up. But at the same time they were self-medicating for something that they didn't even know was a problem (presence of MTHFR gene does not necessarily mean homocysteine is elevated) and pushing all of it on me, I was in school and remember learning that extended use of low-dose aspirin can cause hearing loss (among many other things) and just didn't want to take any meds long term unless they were medically necessary. Of course, my aversion to doctors means I haven't had my levels checked, either. I try to remember take my B vitamins but I'm not consistent.
The doctor did recommend that I be consistent with that and add a low-dose aspirin, which does seem like a good idea at this point so I will.
I realized that my new position was the job for me when I realized I actually MISS work this summer!
In the meantime, DH and I went out to lunch at this Chinese buffet. We haven't been there in years but used to go there all the time. We were talking about the doctor and him getting his SA (which he keeps saying he will do but just won't schedule an appointment). I was just saying "I'm not sure how I feel about this doctor, but I think I like her. I opened my fortune cookie and it said, "Do not trust your first impression." Then DH's fortune cookie said "Do not think, act." Which is hilarious! What's even funnier is, just before we got engaged I had a fortune cookie that predicted that and I also had something that spoke strongly to me about graduating with my master's. Just bizarre! And both of those were at this same restaurant. I've never had any "relevant" fortune cookie at any other restaurant.

Hopefully your insurance will cover the RE if you go that route. You can always call them with the type of plan you are on and ask them without giving your name. I do that a lot about medical things. I love our insurance company though so far.
And I am another who will not use UHaul as well. I went to them around 3 times and they did not honor my reservation. Luckily DH has an old full size pickup now so whenever we move we use that. It takes about 3-4 trips but we don't have to pay a rental fee and we can move whenever we want.
So sorry about your rough morning Myles. I remember crying before work when I was employed at a large bank when Ky was around B's age. He used to tell me "Mommy, I don't want you to go to work. I want you to stay home with meeeeeee!" and make his huge puppy dog eyes look so sad and I would tear up. At that time I had to work and told him I had to work to buy food and clothes and pay our rent and he would say "I won't eat so much mommy and I don't like wearing clothes anyway. I can wear underoos." LOL, so I would laugh but I'd still be sad and I cried every day before going into that job. But I hated that job and was so relieved when I got laid off.
Oh no, don't worry about me. I didn't mean to come off that way. I was recalling what I had remembered the clinic saying and it was pretty similar to what you heard. Though I didn't go in with a history of blood clotting issues. I really sympathize....going through the doc sucked. It was horribly stressful, clomid for me was painful (tried it because it was cheap to just see if it would help)....after just three months I said forget it. It was annoying to have ultrasounds every two weeks and leave work...even though the clinic was where I work, it was still an hour or so away. Blech. it took a while but I'm really at peace with having a child through adoption and would kind of be disappointed in a way to turn up pg now. I mean I would be happy but I'm mentally geared up for adoption and have my amazon list of adoption books for the baby and am excited about the idea of not knowing what I would get. I could get an athlete for example...something that I would not really expect from a bio kid of ours though anything is possible.
I'm in a good place emotionally now and this just feels right....in a way that going further with medical intervention did not....especially once we tried the really easy stuff first. I REALLY hope that something as simple as a baby aspirin does the trick for you!
as for testing DH. I basically did everything...he never set foot in the office. I bought home the cup and directions...gave it to him and once he was done, I put the sample in my waist band of my pants (you have to keep it warm so next to the skin is what they said) and brought it directly to work (course I stopped off at the lab before heading to the library! LOL).
I am suprised that I got DH in for the physical since the adoption agency required a pretty extensive one. But again I made the appointments for us and we went together.
So I was eating at the Chinese buffet with DH for the first time 13 years ago...and my cookie said "Stop searching forever. Happiness is right beside you". And he was literally sitting next to me. I still carry the slip in my purse.
So I have learned two things from this thread today: Never use Uhaul, and fortune cookies are the true source of all psychic power!
I looked through my insurance policy and basically it covers nothing for fertility.
Here is what it covers:
And here is what it specifically excludes:25. Infertility. Benefits include only those infertility services provided to a participant: a) by a physician to diagnose infertility; and b) to surgically treat the underlying medical cause of infertility.
So I'm left wondering if there's even a point in seeing the RE. I don't need a diagnosis of infertility, and I highly doubt I need surgery. I am covered (I think) through Tricare for the next 30 days and they do cover some medical treatments (not IVF or anything) but there's no way I could even get an appointment scheduled in time to use Tricare. Plus I don't even have a card through them or anything.Infertility. A charge for infertility medication.
Infertility. Care, supplies, services and treatment for infertility, artificial insemination, or in vitro fertilization. Any Assisted Reproductive Technology (ART) procedure including associated services and supplies. Charges for services related to surrogate pregnancy.
Me (40) DH (47) & furbabies * m/c 7/08 4/12 11/12
I don't think this can just be the MTHFR, though. It doesn't make sense. I know it is associated with failure to implant, but my mother, my aunt, my sister, and my cousin all have the exact same condition (my aunt actually has a second clotting factor as well). My mother and aunt each had three children (four pregnancies for my mom with a m/c at 6 months), and my sister and cousin have each had two children. None of them struggled to get pregnant at any time and my cousin actually got pregnant both times while using birth control. My cousin is also the only one who knew about the MTHFR before/during pregnancy. My mother told me I was the only pregnancy she TTC'd, and my sister got pregnant with her first on her first month of trying and her second after 3-6 months. My aunt's children were all exactly 2.5 years apart. I just feel there has to be something else at work here for me to be the only affected by it in my family.

ITA with this.
Christina, there are some provisions that people really like. Like companies cannot deny you for pre-existing conditions. Like my sister got denied everywhere....because she had some ear surgeries in her past....more than five years in her past and it's not an ongoing issue. My coworkers daughter got kicked off her insurance because she had lap done for endo.
It is also nice that young people can stay on their parents plans longer. I was lucky and had until I was 25 but that was rare. I basically married DH when I did just so I could have his insurance.
There are some other interesting things going on...not sure that it's part of this act but it's a big push....like getting places on electronic medical records. This is going on where I work. So if I go to see doc A and get a test, all the docs can see the results and that can reduce repeat testing reducing costs. And there is a big push towards evidence based care....looking and see what the evidence shows....the newest flashiest thing (and most expensive usually) is not always the best. Another is an idea called medical homes....where you have a team based approach to chronic conditions and the hope is to keep things like say diabetes under control instead of letting it go until it's bad...and more expensive to take care of. There is a big emphasis on prevention recently...even since I started in 2003....instead of just focusing on curing things or managing them.
A lot of interesting things going on. I know my institution is pretty heavily involved in many of these things....I just wish that I had the time to read more than just scanning titles and sometimes abstracts before passing the literature searches on.
I am interested to hear what will happen in situations like mine. I am insured through my employer, and my benefit package basically allows me to insure myself at no cost to me (I voluntarily pay an extra $60/paycheck to bump up my insurance to a better plan, but I only pay the difference between the two plans). However, to insure DH i would have to pay the entire cost of his insurance, which would work out to $500 or more per month - basically it would be cheaper to self-insure. He is out of work and because he is a veteran and can use the VA services anytime for a sliding scale, we have chosen not to insure him. Medicaid is out of the question because I may way too much to qualify our family for any assistance, however with him out of work we are essentially living paycheck to paycheck because of our house. Another option available to us is to pay for Tricare because he is in the National Guard, and we have discussed that once I have a child we will insure him/her through Tricare. However, does DH being covered by the VA count as being insured? I suspect it doesn't. So we would either need to insure him or pay the tax if we can't - when he has access to healthcare without it.
Me (40) DH (47) & furbabies * m/c 7/08 4/12 11/12
I really don't think this will impact New Yorkers very much. Not only have we had Medicaid (even available to single men without children) but we have Child Health Plus as well as Family Health Plus available through the state. They're income based. My SIL had insurance available through her work, but it cost over 1/2 her paycheck. She made too much for Medicaid, so she had CHP for her kids for something like $9/month plus copays and FHP for herself for $13/month plus copays.
This sounds like it has a good core, obviously there are going to be some kinks. Hopefully in the long run it will be beneficial for everyone
The argument is that with more people paying for healthcare, it will cost less per person. I think it remains to be seen whether it is financially sustainable, but I don't think anyone really knows at this point.

Oh, I understand that logic. I just don't know that the prices will even out enough that prices will truly be that affordable. My employer has over 9000 employees, but I pay more for insurance through them than I did when I worked for a company of less than 300 people. The question is really how many more people will be paying into the system and how much will what they pay help to level out the difference in premiums? I don't know that anyone has shown the actual numbers involved (they couldn't).

Oh and thanks for helping me get a better grasp on this. I really appreciate it, ya'll are awesome
I don't know what I think of this system. I hate how insurance companies work. A Britain-style system where your taxes truly do go to pay for your healthcare makes more sense to me than this does.
Me (40) DH (47) & furbabies * m/c 7/08 4/12 11/12
I tend to tune out all things political. It's one of those things where my feelings on the subject are not going to matter in the end, so I just go with the flow. Nothing is perfect in the beginning and that is true for all new things, I just hope that the Insurance companies do not take advantage of people being forced to be insured. That is my primary concern at the moment.
I look at this as as step in the right direction. Change never comes easy. But we need change.
Dbf is Canadian. So we can escape if need be
Thanks for the links, Suja.
Me (40) DH (47) & furbabies * m/c 7/08 4/12 11/12
I agree with that. I think that this is better than nothing but not really wanted I wanted. Why pay a middle man if you don't have to? And I hate that some people seem to be "valued" more just because they are LUCKY enough to have good coverage.
Interesting enough....the UK was way ahead of the US in terms of actually using evidence based medicine. I subscribe to a number of their journals....
I am feeling irked by all the fb stati acting like this is about deadbeat welfare recipients. It's so much more complex than that. Like your sister, for example, Jennifer. Even my parents were pretty worried toward the end of my mom's life that she would lose her insurance if she stopped working. She was far from a deadbeat. *sigh.
I'd likely have to marry him. But the kids get to have dual citizenship which I love for them!

SPRINGHILL—North Webster senior quarterback J.O. Smith proved his skills as a two-way player as he scored touchdowns on both sides of the ball to lead his team to a 23-12 Homecoming victory over the Mansfield Wolverines.
"It was a great game, and J.O. played another good game," North Webster head coach John Ware said. "We had an injury in the secondary, so we had to play J.O. back there and he picked off a pass and ran it back for a touchdown. He also ran for over 100 yards and a touchdown on offense. He has some good players around him, so it's hard for teams to key on him, but it doesn't matter if they key on him or not, he just makes plays."

Berlin based product designer Daniel Lorch has created this trestle, Sinus. The trestle is currently produced as a small series in Germany under the label 'by Daniel Lorch'.
It's the little things that make a difference, as the expression goes, and the creative brains behind memobottle have taken this sentiment very much to heart. In a pledge to reduce the consumption of single-use plastic water bottles and to get rid of annoying clutter in your bag,they've invented memobottle, a drinks container the same size and shape as a notebook, or laptop.
If we're honest we lost interest in 3D printing for a bit there. After all the home-made gun controversy and the constant assurances it would democratise production processes forever more we had to deal very quickly with the reality that most desktop 3D printers were only capable of producing very small objects, and the materials they made them from were structurally unsound. We're still holding out hope though.
Former Fabrica designer and art director Dean Brown has just upped sticks and left the confines of Treviso in Italy to set up shop in London. He's spent the last four years honing his skills designing conceptual products, installations, interiors and exhibitions with collaborators at both Fabrica and COLORS as well as further afield. Last year we fell in love with his witty take on rug design, and now he's impressed us again with his ability to turn knitwear into an engaging, immersive environment through texture and colour.
It's no secret that Studio Swine are forever pushing boundaries in the world of product design, taking uncommon materials and putting them to universal use. But their latest project is extremely unusual, even by their own standards. For Hair Highway the pair ventured into the heart of mainland China to the epicentre of the global human hair trade. There they acquired enough human hair to use it as the basis for a number of luxury bespoke objects – the carefully-maintained strands preserved in deep amber resin, creating stunning patterns and textures. To top it all off they've made this lovely film to document their journey, the people behind this strange trade and the finished products themselves.
The interplay between design and the cultures they both respond to and help shape is not always easy to decipher. An interesting exhibition currently on show in London examines 20th Century Soviet Russia through the objects which defined it on a very human level – the toys and appliances, vehicles and sports equipment. There are products that became iconic such as the Chaika vacuum cleaner and others that may never have been feted before.
Epiforma is a brand new Portuguese design studio founded by Felipe Ferreira and Francisco Ribeiro in Porto. In spite of their newness it would appear they've long been busy working on all manner of projects across many facets of design. As well as practicing the more traditional graphic arts of branding and type design, they also produce high-end modular furniture, unusual board games and limited edition products. Judging by their website they're also pretty good web designers and art directors too. In short, these guys appear to be very much the complete package and we're excited to see what their first year of business holds in store.
I'm one of those people that will always need a desk-tidy. No matter how hard I try, I remain ineptly disorganised in the world of stationery – pens have missing lids, a pencil will rarely get re-sharpened and I've not been able to draw a straight line since I lost my ruler two years ago.
I'm always interested by the paradox which means that small exhibitions are often the most impactful, and the new show at the Design Museum, entitled Time Machines: Daniel Weil and the Art of Design is a prime example. Though it occupies a relatively small space, tucked in on the top floor next to the expansive Designs of the Year show, it seems to catalogue Daniel's original approach to design perfectly.His new series of clocks demand attention first; finely made with all of their parts exposed, they maintain the dematerialisation that he first established with his Bag Radios, exploring new means of conductivity, but they seem to have progressed to a more finely-tuned, beautiful state.
Here's an unbelievable statistic – 3.4 million people die every year due to water-related illnesses. The latest weapon in the ongoing war against this horrifyingly avoidable epidemic comes from ad agency DDB and super-clever scientist Dr. Theresa Dankovich who have created the world's first Drinkable Book for the Water Is Life charity.
As part of this year's DesignMarch in Iceland, one of our favourite illustrators and designers, Siggi Odds, got together with a few collaborators to produce something 3D and tangible. He and Geir Ólafsson, Hrefna Sigurðardóttir and Þorleifur Gunnar Gíslason all work in a predominantly digital fashion, producing things that are transient and rarely made physical. To counter that they partnered with product designer Jón Helgi Hólmgeirsson, and working under the name Børk created a selection of bespoke quilts, printed with custom graphic imagery that's evocative of Iceland's landscapes and natural environments, borrowing elements from traditional mythology and folklore.
We can all pretend that we don't care that much about design awards but the truth is that it's always interesting to see who wins what; particularly when it comes to the Design Museum's prestigious Designs of the Year. This morning the seven category winners were announced and they are as below; the overall winner will be announced on 30 June and the show continues until 25 August.
It's laudable that designers are working on worthy projects that will have a practical impact on building a better future, but we're big believers that creatives should be engaged in making tomorrow a bit more fun too. Luckily for us, there are institutions like the Ecole cantonale d'art de Lausanne (ECAL).
Us Brits are meant to be huge fans of queuing but in actual fact we're even bigger fans of speeding up these processes. Already we've seen contactless payments remove the time-consuming pin-entry procedure but now a Swedish student has gone one better with a system that SCANS YOUR VEINS.

RIDGE, N.Y. (AP) - A New York man has been arrested on Long Island after police say he shot and killed his girlfriend then barricaded himself inside an apartment, at one point trading fire with responding officers.
Suffolk County Police say they were called to a domestic dispute at an apartment complex in Ridge just after 11:30 a.m. Sunday. They say the unidentified man shot and killed his girlfriend before barricading himself inside the apartment with two children.
Police say the man eventually let the children go. That's when they say the suspect fired at responding Emergency Service Unit officers, who returned fire. Nobody was injured in the exchange.
Police say the man finally surrendered. The investigation is ongoing.

Rum is a drink that lends itself to being enjoyed in a number of different ways; with a mixer, as the base for a cocktail such as the Mojito, and on its own, as a bracing restorative. Rum was founded on the back of the sugar cane industries in the West Indies.White rum is a standard drink in the Caribbean with well known brands like Barcardi,and Havana Club. Dark rum such as Captain Morgans, Lambs Navy and Inner Circle are aged from anywhere between 3 and 12 years and its heavier consistency and deeper flavours lend itself to being drunk on its own, although some cocktails do benefit from its weight.
The International Wine and Spirit Competition aims to promote the quality and excellence of the world's best wines, spirits and liqueurs. All rum entrants are blind tasted by experts, and with entries from over 80 countries worldwide you can be sure rums with this award are of a superior taste and quality.

A provision for transfer of causes, civil or criminal, from one place for holding court to another was omitted. Such provision, as to civil cases, is covered by section 1404 of this title, and, as to criminal cases, is rendered unnecessary because of inherent power of the court and Rules 18–20 of the Federal Rules of Criminal Procedure, relating to venue.
A provision for making an interlocutory order at any place designated for holding court was omitted as unnecessary in view of Federal Rules of Civil Procedure, rule 77(b).
A provision requiring the clerk to keep his office at the State capital was omitted as covered by section 751 of this title.
Changes in arrangement and phraseology were made.
The table below lists the classification updates, since Jan. 3, 2012, for this section. Updates to a broader range of sections may be found at the update page for containing chapter, title, etc.

There are new rules about what kinds of bags people will be allowed to bring into Ford Field.The changes stem from a new NFL policy. Backpacks and most bags and purses and now prohibited.What will be allowed are clear plastic, vinyl or PVC bags, which must be 12" x 6" x 12" or smaller, and one-gallon clear plastic freezer bags, according to the Detroit Lions."I think we can get people into the building faster. When they can screen clear bags or no bags at all, that should make the lines move faster, and people will be moving faster into an environment that will be safer," said Tom Lewand with the team.Women can bring a small clutch purse, but it must be the size of your hand.If you come to Ford Field to see Kid Rock or any show or concert, the Lions are adopting this new NFL policy for all events.In fact, Michigan Stadium in Ann Arbor and Spartan Stadium in East Lansing already have no bags for fans policies in place. The difference is those venues do not allow the clear plastic bags.For more information on the new policy, visit www.detroitlions.com/ford-field/prohibited-items.html.

She also made it clear that in the wake of the Arizona shootings she's still a strong Second Amendment supporter. If she does run in 2012 one suspects this is what her tone on the matter will sound like.
"How important it is, for the [AZ victims] sake, for America's sake, that we do not allow the evil acts of one mentally deranged murderer [to] change America's way of life. We must not allow this tragedy to stifle our constitutionally protected rights, including our Second Amendment rights. Beware of what's coming. I really do believe that God has shed his grace on thee. We can't blow it. We can't allow an atrophy of the foundation that is America, that is so exceptional."

The saga continues, as does the experiment.
Chris, a housemate at The Reel Estate, had never seen any of the Star Wars movies. The last Movie Night, we showed him The Phantom Menace. He didn't run off screaming like a Death Star cleaning droid. This week, we turn to the next chapter.
It is about 10 years later. The siege of Naboo that we thought had ended has fueled a Separatist movement throughout the galaxy. A mysterious, new hand is behind the Trade Federation's fueling of discontent. Meanwhile, Senator Palpatine has become the new Supreme Chancellor.
Amidala's career has advanced as well. After her two terms as Queen of Naboo expired, she succeeded Palpatine as a senator. Natalie Portman and her character are both far more womanly by now. She is both things -- beautiful and a bad ass -- that make it easy to see how Leia Organa would be her daughter. Her peacemaking with the Gungans has led to equality such that Jar Jar Binks is now a representative, effectively her second in intergalactic politics.
A now bearded Ewan McGregor has taken Obi-wan Kenobi from wild-eyed padawan to Jedi Master. Though he is clearly wiser, his is not yet the sage that Sir Alec Guinness was/will be as his older analog. He is patient and measured, yet he proves shortsighted about too many important things.
In Obi-wan's charge is Anakin Skywalker, as per the elder's promise to his own dying master. A decade older, a new [and better] actor, Hayden Christensen, was needed for the filming that began almost as soon as the last movie hit theaters. We already know -- well, everyone except Chris -- who Anakin will eventually be. Attack of the Clones shows the catalytic event for the turn.
For the second film in a row, George Lucas introduces a great villain. Jango Fett will, unfortunately, suffer the same quick character arc as his predecessor, Darth Maul. His appearance, and that of his son, provide a great jumping off point for a tangent film or series that we may yet see with the Disney acquisition of LucasFilm and its related properties.
Lucas actually does it twice in this movie. We meet Count Dooku, played by British horror legend Sir Christopher Lee. If one checks out Lee's resume beyond his IMDB filmography, it is easy to see how Lee could supply the necessary gravitas to the menacing character and still remain almost regal. Again, this character could take his own cinematic tangent.
We get to see some great things in this movie. For all who ever imagined Jules from Pulp Fiction as a Jedi Master, Samuel L. Jackson and his purple lightsaber give just that. We [finally] see why Yoda is the most vaunted of Jedi. We see how the path to the Dark Side starts in corners as shadows and shades of grey. Virtually all of us had heard of the Clone Wars; now we get to see the clones.
Unfortunately, we also see maybe the worst George Lucas has to offer. Sections of Attack of the Clones turn into a "chick flick" so poorly crafted that you'd swear it was written by Nicholas Sparks or Stephanie Meyer. Christensen chews more scenery than Godzilla. Despite her radiance, Portman practically refuses to use her talents, as if she's acting with "one arm behind her back" opposite her love interest.
All tolled, I find this to be the worst of the entire saga, and maybe the entire Lucas pantheon. There are some stunning visuals and complicated ones at that. When it premiered, I saw it twice within 12 hours -- once at the midnight opening and again at 10:00 a.m. the next morning -- and still didn't catch everything. Clearly, the great dialogue of Lawrence Kasdan, the pacing of Richard Marquand and the wit of Irvin Kershner are all sorely missed though. Make no mistake, Lucas is a genius, but even geniuses need some help sometimes. Still, we'll see how Housemate Chris does with the next installment.
Still, the Force will be with us, always.

Multiple bags containing body parts have been found near I-94 in St. Clair County, according to police. Police say at least five bags have been found in the area along Allington Road between Fred W. Moore Highway and Trumble Road in China Township. One of the bags was found on Fred Moore Highway. Human remains also appear to have been scattered in plain sight across the area. Investigators are unclear at this time if the body parts are from one person or multiple people, and are not releasing information as to how the body parts were dismembered. The bags were discovered around 4 p.m. Wednesday after someone called police. "A citizen that came across garbage bags, but we also have some tips coming in of a vehicle that was possibly dumping garbage, which could be our human remains," says Sheriff Tim Donnellon of St. Clair Co. Police are looking for a middle-aged white female driving a mid-90s gray or tan colored SUV.

| AOA, Queen's Cypher
See Office Templates List
Lady Marguerite has been a member of the East Kingdom since 1998(ish). She is of the household Lochleven and is a member of the Queen's Order of Courtesy.
Marguerite, known to her family as Meggie, is the Eldest child of Lochlann, the Eldest Son of the Great Lachlain of Lochleven. She has a younger brother Lachlann Mac Lochlann Mec Lachlain and a half brother, Eoghan, called the Bastard. Her cousins include Sir Colin Mac Eoin, Emy, Eoin and other people who may not even know they are related yet. The Mec Lachlains are a family of border reivers living and raiding in the Scottish Lowlands. Marguerite is skilled with her needle, sewing clothes for her family and the other Villagers in Lochleven. She is an accomplished story teller, poet, drinking buddy, wild mushroomer and cunning diplomat. Marguerite is married to Robert Earlson, who is, sadly, English.
She is the Mouthpiece of Lochleven, which means it is her job to get the Village both into and out of whatever trouble they cause.
Sometimes people claim to see Meggie dressed scandalously, dancing & playing music with Bad Raqson'e Sahra, but when pressed in public, she will deny all knowledge.
Alternate Persona: Megha
Megha composes and performs bhakti poetry, makes jewlery, and encourages the women of Lochleven to dress scandalously.

Nina Tandon:
Could tissue engineering mean personalized medicine?
Each of our bodies is utterly unique, which is a lovely thought until it comes to treating an illness — when every body reacts differently, often unpredictably, to standard treatment. Tissue engineer Nina Tandon talks about a possible solution: Using pluripotent stem cells to make personalized models of organs on which to test new drugs and treatments, and storing them on computer chips. (Call it extremely personalized medicine.)

Angry Birds is highest grossing paid app of all time. 1.7 billion people developed a connection with those birds and wasted countless of hours at work trying knock green pigs out of the sky. The story line needs major fleshing out, but the brand is already there. That's why major movie studios were tripping over themselves for the chance to score the rights to the Angry Birds movie.
Sony Pictures were the victors. They announced today that they're secured the rights for an animated movie. The tentative release date is July 1, 2016.
Good idea or is this a new low in the movie industry?

I ordered one set, to see thickness and quality and make further decisions on what to purchase for a swimming pool. I previously worked or a luxury retailer, that sold bath fixtures and towels. I had hands-on experience with towels and knew what to look for. I placed the order on Wednesday, the delivery came first thing Friday. These towels are absolutely beautiful, and exceed my expectations! Perfect hand, plush, absorbent, and should be considered luxury-item! I loved these so much, I'm ordering another (14) for the poorhouse, to stock-pile!
Huge towels, just the ones you need out by the pool.
Love the 40" x 70" size. Soft and luxurious feel! Perfect for the guest bedroom!
These are the softest, thickest, most luxurious towels I have ever felt. Every morning after my shower, I feel pampered wrapping myself with one of these towels! I am very satisfied.
these towels are just what I expected--high quality and heavy fabric that does not feel cheap. They soften up more after a few washings, although you can't fit too many in the laundry machine at once!
Nice and thick, very soft. These are huge. We used them all winter for an outdoor hot tub in Massachusetts & they are big and thick enough to keep us nice and warm. LOVE them!
These tiles are very large and so absorbent. They make great gifts my family and friends love the. Even better they wash up very nicely. I usually wash them once with bleach and put them through a an express wash to lessen the bleach smell. They dry quickly so don't mildew as a result. I wish they sold a complete set of bath sheets, hand towels and wash cloths. Buy and love them.
I bought a set of these for myself a bit ago and loved them so much I bought a set for my boyfriend for Christmas. He is 6'5" and loved the huge bath sheets.
I cannot truly write this review as I haven't 'used' them yet and seen how they wash but UPS just dropped them off and I cannot believe the size of them!!! Gigantic! But very nice towels and they do seem nice and soft and should be pretty absorbent. I do feel happy about this purchase but cannot wait to see how they hold up.
These towels are great for large people who need extra big towels. I use two of them at the same time for my body and my head and shoulder area. They dry me in less than a minute but stay bundled up to stay warm and hang to dry. They are soft vey absorbent and well made.

Jazz Jackrabbit review — June 1995, US edition
Every Sunday, Tyler publishes a classic PC Gamer review from the '90s or early 2000s, with his context and commentary followed by the full, original text from the archived issue. More classic reviews here.
It's unbelievable now, but PCs were once seen as less-attractive gaming machines than Nintendo consoles. Heresy! But it's true. I'd probably never preface a review with 200 words of context, but I'm glad our 1995 review of Jazz Jackrabbit gives us some perspective. Sadly, Cliff Bleszinski's new studio is not making a new Jazz Jackrabbit, so we still don't have it that good.

Get a free estimate on car repairs
Online service checks costs in your area
Do you ever wonder if your auto mechanic is charging too much?
You can get a second opinion for free. RepairPal provides free price quotes on repairs to most cars, customized by ZIP code. The quotes are created using a complex database that draws from a number of sources, including expert mechanics hired by RepairPal to analyze the data. You can access RepairPal on your computer or get the freeiPhone app.
Even if you're lucky enough to find a neighborhood mechanic you trust, it never hurts to double-check the price quote. And, if you want to work non-urgent repairs into your budget, you can research the cost ahead of time. For example, the new timing belt I'm going to need soon for my 1999 Honda CR-V should cost $285 to $368 in my area, according to RepairPal.
Cars are one of the largest expenses, after housing, for many people. If you're not careful, you can easily waste money on your car. Keeping your cars as long as you can is one good way to save money, and the last thing you want to do is overpay for repairs.
RepairPal joins several similar services: DriverSide, which is also free (and says the timing belt replacement will cost $337.33) and FairRepair, which charges $9.99 for an estimate once you enter your VIN number but gives you that cost back as a rebate if you use one of their participating mechanics, who have promised to honor the estimates.
David Sturtz, the co-founder and CEO of RepairPal, said he came up with the idea for the service in the mid-'90s, while studying for his doctorate in international political economics at Stanford University. He told the Silicon Valley/San Jose Business Journal that, even though he knew more about cars than 90 percent of drives, he still couldn't figure out when a repair was a good deal.
RepairPal launched last year and has partnerships with Cars.com, AutoNation and AAA of Northern California, Nevada and Utah.
