The Redhawks will play Akron at 8 p.m. on Saturday at Connolly Center. The bad news? Both Bonvicini and Kerfoot credited a tough week of practice for the victory. So, more tough practices to come! Actually, it was the time to teach. SU did have four games jammed together against established teams to open the season, so it was rocky start with a roster full of new faces. With time to focus on certain areas, the Redhawks snapped out of their shooting slump and got a needed win. SU shot 48 percent from the field and although it was outrebounded (43-38) and outscored in the paint (30-28), it still controlled the flow of the game. Ward and Sowell were impressive, again, Ward going 3-of-3 from three-point range and finishing with 14 points. Sowell had 10 points and 10 boards for her second double-double of the season. The Redhawks have never won their tournament. SU was second last year and the inaugural version was really a round-robin style, so it really doesn't count. The team may not be as hot offensively as it was on Friday, but solid execution and defense are still going to be key against Akron. The Redhawks could also cut down on the turnovers (21). But really, it's the performance is what you'd want to see after a tough week practice. LITTLE TEACHING: Bonvicini has put in the bulk of her youth, freshman Jessi Williamson closing out the highlights with a block. Others were getting instructions on procedure. BIG APPLAUSE: SU coach Joan Bonvicini put in freshman PG Jasmine Lemon for Kerfoot, who received a warm applause from the crowd and teammates as she took the bench. Kerfoot tweeted that she was sick, spending most of the Thanksgiving break in bed, but she's en fuego Friday. Kerfoot leads all scorers with 19 points and three assists. SU is up 68-42 with 4:20 remaining in the game. TOO FAST: SU is a little out of control, moving a little to fast on offense to convert. Good thing it started the half as well as it did the game, leading 60-36 with 9:08 on the clock. HALFTIME: The Dons stitched together a little 9-3 run to close the half only down 37-28. The Redhawks had two sloppy turnovers and missed shots to zap opportunities at holding on to the once 19-point lead. After a 20 percent shooting to open the game, the Dons closed shooting 7-of-14 from the field. SU will have to clean up its defense and grab the rebounds if its going secure the win. The Dons are outrebounding the Redhawks 20-16. Kerfoot still leads the Redhawks with 11 points, Ward and Sowell following with six points apiece. Ale has 12 for the Dons. Winston has six points to help the USF bench outscore SU's 10-9. FOR THREE: Seattle U. has stuggled with its offense in its three-game losing skid, but it appears to have snapped out of it against USF's defense. The Redhawks are 7-for-11 from three-point range. SU leads 37-22 with 3:30 left in the first half. LITTLE FLOW: USF hasn't threatened SU's lead, but at least found its shooting touch with a few moves in transition. Ale spun for a layin and Daniels picked off a dribble to score on the other end. A bucket by Sowell off an assist from Ward has the Redhawks up 27-10 with 9:14 on the clock. Kerfoot leads with 11 points. BALLIN'!: SU is feeling it. Ward and Kerfoot have nailed three-pointers while Ward spotted senior Maggie McCarthy in transition for a layin that forced Azzi to call time. The Dons can't shoot (15.4 percent) and are down 23-4 with 12:36 left in the half. HOT START: There's no lagging from overindulging on turkey on Seattle U.'s bench. The Redhawks are playing with good energy and hitting shots to take a 10-2 lead with 15:52 on the clock. Kerfoot had two three-pointer and Rhea had a nice dish in transition to Sowell to highlight the early run. The Dons have made some bad passes and are shooting 20 percent (1-of-5) from the field. Day 1 of Seattle University's annual Thanksgiving Tournament is underway at Connolly Center on Friday. Loyola Chicago (3-1) and Akron (1-3) are playing a tight second half, the Zips getting the 97-86 win behind a late second-half flurry. G Taylor Ruper led with 20 points on 6-for-11 from the field. Akron faces the winner of Seattle University's headliner with San Francisco. The game features two teams desperate for a win. The Dons (1-4) are transitioning back to a quality program under second-year coach Jennifer Azzi and the Redhawks (1-3) are looking to regain momentum after a thrilling season-opening win against UC Santa Barbara. SU assistant coach Joy Hollingsworth isn't with the Redhawks, healing from an illness. The Dons will challenge the Redhawks with its three-point shooting. Senior Katy Keating is shooting 57.1 percent from beyond the arc. But USF isn't strong from the FT line, shooting 69.2 percent, which could bode well for SU on defense. There's a Stanford undercurrent with the teams involved. Seattle hoops fans should remember Azzi from her ABL days playing with the San Jose Lasers. Azzi also won a NCAA title for the Cardinal in 1990. On her bench is fellow Stanford alum Katy Steding, who also played one season for the Storm (2001). Loyola assistant coach Clare Bodensteiner is a 2006 graduate of Stanford. Let's get you ready with the starting lineups: DONS F Vania Singleterry F Katy Keating C Whitney Daniels G Rheina Ale G Mel Khlok REDHAWKS F Ashley Ward F Talisa Rhea C Kacie Sowell G Elle Kerfoot G Sylvia Shephard Tonight's officials are Darla Foutz, John Weeks, and Ashley Gilpin Comments

I think I told everyone I went over on my ankle on the doorstep of the bungalow I am in waiting for a slope to be put in but that's another story. I think I also said I fell in my bathroom and have had my arm in plaster for 3 weeks now. Well went for MRI last Thursday at Poole general then had to go book an appointment to go back this week hopefully to have cast off. I booked the appointment my boyfriend had driven me but we had to walk to the car so crossed at traffic lights outside the hospital and was just walking along with one crutch in the unplastered hand when all of a sudden my right ankle just went right over again sending me sprawling across the pavement landing on my left hip elbow and hand as well as the agony in the foot that had let me down I just lay there unable to jump up like I used to do I was surrounded by 6 people coming to my aid trying to get me up but I just wanted a few minutes to lie there because I didn't know if my ankle was going to hold me. Eventually I was held up and we went on to the car where I just wanted to die of embarrassment. I was in bed for two days and have been awake all night tonight or last night as its5.48 am now with my ankle and knee. I have laughed about it now but had visions of having to call an ambulance from across the road to take me back in. It has now left me feeling very unsteady the fact my ankle has started just giving way at any time I was wearing flat shoes as I never wear heals the pavement was even so no holes. I have a Drs appointment on Wednesday and will be mentioning it to her as well as the hospital when I go Wednesday morning. Fingers crossed I haven't damage the hand more as it did swell up again around my fingers. Just a silly woman. I need this cast off as I need to be able to stitch to get my mental state back on track . ,my pain levels are currently off the chart which is impacting on everything.
Wishing everyone a relatively pain free day
Hugs to all

text: Nausea With or Without Vomiting SHARE Migraine sufferers often complain of nausea, an uneasy, queasy feeling or discomfort in the stomach. Some studies show that almost three quarters of those with migraines have nausea. The nausea can be so severe that it causes people to limit activities and is therefore a major cause of migraine disability. Nausea can occur by itself or it may cause vomiting. About a third of migraine sufferers blame their migraines for causing vomiting. Female migraine sufferers complain of nausea more often than males. Often vomiting makes the migraine pain go away. This was observed centuries ago by Hippocrates, who wrote that vomiting was able to "divert the pain and render it more moderate." What causes migraine nausea and vomiting? Because the underlying cause of migraine is largely unknown, there are no definite reasons why nausea and vomiting are common symptoms. Nausea and vomiting sometimes occur along with vertigo or dizziness, which may be linked to brain and inner ear disturbances. Nausea and vomiting is also associated with a decrease in quality of life and the inability to participate in regular activities. Some migraine sufferers, whose symptoms are primarily related to nausea, vomiting and other stomach discomforts, are diagnosed with abdominal migraine. The impact of migraine nausea and vomiting: Symptoms usually start and end quickly Researchers believe there is a link between migraines and cyclic vomiting syndrome, which causes episodes of severe nausea and vomiting that can last for hours and sometimes days and often has the same triggers as migraines Sufferers typically feel worse with movement Sufferers usually feel better being still or laying down Abdominal migraine: More common in children, abdominal migraines cause abdominal pain lasting one hour to three days. Symptoms include nausea, vomiting, warm flushes and the sweats. Abdominal migraines often lead to migraines with head pain in adults. In fact, children with abdominal migraines were four time more likely to develop adult migraines. Abdominal migraine is diagnosed more often in Europe than it is in the U.S. Nausea is a frequent complaint of people who don't suffer from migraines as well. Other possible causes of nausea and vomiting: Viral infections Reaction to a medication Pregnancy Motion sickness Reflux, heart burn Gallstones Food poisoning Food allergy Poll Sign up for emails from Migraine.com: Subscribe By providing your email address, you are agreeing to our privacy policy.

Another 130 U.S. troops arrived in Iraq Tuesday on what the Pentagon described as a temporary mission to assess the scope of the humanitarian crisis facing thousands of displaced Iraqi civilians trapped on Sinjar Mountain and evaluate options for getting them out to safety.Another defense official, speaking on condition of anonymity to provide additional details on the sensitive mission, said the extra troops were Marines and special operations forces whose mission was to assess the situation in the Sinjar area and to develop additional humanitarian assistance options beyond current U.S. efforts there. Still another official said the mission for the 130 troops could last less than one week. U.S. officials said that while Obama put caps on the number of troops deployed to Iraq, these latest forces were being sent under the authorization for humanitarian assistance and therefore did not exceed the limits.

Eco-friendly, high vibrational chocolate.
Made in Jersey by Maria with only the purest, healthful and organic ingredients from the earth. All of the chocolates are dairy free, gluten free, vegan, and are sweetened with coconut palm nectar and 'Sweet Freedom' instead of refined sugar. We also give chocolate making workshops!
Its been a fun and intense journey (as it can only be with Kali Ma) resurrecting my chocolate baby after 3 years for the world to come and delight at again.
This time around I've gone for a bit of a revamp! Vamp being the word as the boxes are a sexy burgundy and lots of gold trimmings on the boxes and bags too. The boxes will contain some VERY decadent raw chocolate vegan truffles. Its about time our little island had some real bespoke raw chocolates to be eaten and savoured. Finally. I'm a little exhausted though. I now have a beautiful girl and a lot less time than before so its all been a bit of a whirlwind. Interspersed with lots of Yoga Nidras and a few good friends coming to hang out with my girl, I've actually managed to get something done other than playing playdough and dancing around the living room with Suki chanting GOBINDAY MUKANDAY.
Not only am I a bit excited about selling my chocolates this weekend at Simply Spring, I'm also releasing an Organic Lip Butter which is just too mmmm for words. Seriously. Come and try my chocs and lips butter, I'll have samples out for you all.
Chocolate Love and Kali Ma Light to you all xxx
My photos aren't great, I have to get a posh camera now right but I'll post them very soon y'all.
Made with Raw Cacao – The Benefits
Unheated Cacao contains over 300 nutritional compounds, antioxidants, essential minerals and the love molecule PEA which is known to create a feeling of euphoria resulting in insatiable desire!
Cacao beans contain 10,000 milligrams (10 grams) per 100 grams of flavonol antioxidants. This is a whopping 10% antioxidant concentration level! This makes cacao one of the richest sources of antioxidants of any food. Yum!
Research has also demonstrated that the antioxidants in cacao are highly stable and easily metabolised. Cornell University food scientists found that cacao powder has nearly twice the antioxidants of red wine and up to three times the amount contained in green tea. It has also been shown, in small amounts, to lower blood pressure.
Cacao and dark chocolate boost antioxidants; however, studies indicate that milk/dairy products specifically block the absorption of all the great antioxidants in chocolate!
Chocolate truly is food for the heart due to its magnesium, antioxidants, love chemicals and esoteric properties. We have often heard that "chocolate opens the heart" – which is actually true as it serves to improve blood flow by increasing dilation of the brachial artery.
Chocolate is also the symbol of sensuality, pleasure, and sexuality. Some writers have claimed that 50% of women prefer chocolate to sex! Chocolate is the gift to all lovers. Chocolates are always given as love offerings. A box of chocolates is one of the most common gifts for Valentine's Day. Cacao, because it is unadulterated, has even stronger love energy. In ancient Aztec wedding ceremonies, the bride and groom would exchange 5 cacao beans with each other.
The Ingredients and flavours
Only the purest, highest quality, raw, organic and natural ingredients are found in Kali-Ma Chocolates:
Cacao Paste*, Cacao Powder*, Cacao Butter*, Vanilla, Coconut Palm Sugar*
*Raw & Organic
Why Are They Special?
Research has indicated that Refined Sugar contributes towards many diseases in our modern world. Kali-Ma uses COCONUT PALM SUGAR and SWEET FREEDOM (concentrated apple, carob and grape syrup) and Date Syrup for sweetness instead of refined sugar.
Currently available in these exciting flavours:
Dark and Naked, Hint of Orange, Peanut Ganache, Moreish Mintys, Sweet Rose, Amaretto Love, Coffee, Raspberry Ganache, Gorgeous Ginger.
Loving our Earth
Being packaged in recycled boxes means that they are contributing towards the care and well-being of our beautiful planet. Bags are made from pure plant cellulose and compostable! Please recycle the boxes again!
Who is Kali-Ma?
Do not mess with her. She means business. Kali is the powerful Tantric Goddess of Time. She is known as 'the black one' and is seen as a powerful force of nature. She is the fountain of every kind of love which flows through the earth through women and was the ocean of blood at the beginning of the world. She has been said to be the primordial mass from which all life arose and the mother of chocolate!
How are the chocolates best stored?
In summer they are best kept in the fridge but please eat at room temperature for the best flavour with a nice warm drink so your mouth is warm and ready to break down the many layers of beautiful flavours.
Where can I buy Kali-Ma??
Kali-Ma can be found in some local fayres this summer
They can also be ordered by email at email@example.com or by telephone on 07797 832400.
Can these Chocolates make me happy?
Perhaps, but as happiness really only comes from within, I always recommend that you also fill your life with fun, laughter and silliness.
Who eats Kali-Ma?
Classy people. Like Tracy Noble. "I adore Kali-Ma, I have one every evening and have even managed to maintain a steady weight loss since I discovered them." (A true Kali-Ma devotee!).
Help. I think I'm addicted!
Well there are much worse things to be addicted to, so relax and smile a chocolatey smile.

GODLESS ANGEL – Harvester Of Shadows (CD)
Godless Angel is a one-man band from the USA, and musically, it is a barrage of melodically fueled guitars with the growl style death metal vocals, all aided by a drum machine.
The vocals have plenty of Chris Reifert (Autopsy and Abscess) influences, which are very cool, but the music is made to suffer from the lack of a solid sound due to the use of a drum machine. I've never been a fan of drum machines within the death and black metal genres, as they just lack the feeling of a real drummer.
Godless Angel's music is nothing new or refreshing, besides the fact it is heavy and very ancient sounding in the execution and spirit.
"Harvester Of Shadows" is a decent release, but they've got to ditch the robot percussionist for a live sit in drummer and also recruit musicians who are willing to play out live. This is the only way a band nowadays can gain notoriety among the heavy metal crowds.
I think this guy behind Godless Angel has some good ideas that would sound pretty darn sick with a proper band. I feel that at this point in time, this one-man band seems like a fun type of project, and the album is released digitally, so how serious can this project really be? This is definitely not my cup of tea, but fans of Auoptsy and Grave will gobble this up alive. [Inverse Music] Sarjoo Devani

Warts, genital
Treatment for genital warts depends on the type of warts you have and where they are located. You do not need treatment if there are no visible warts.
There are two main types of treatment for genital warts:
Mosttopical treatments tend to work better on softer warts, and physical ablation tends to work better on harder and rougher-feeling warts. Sometimes, a combination of topical treatments is recommended.
For some people, treatment can take several months to remove the warts, so it is important to persevere.
You may be advised to avoid perfumed soap, bath bubbles or lotions while you are having treatment for warts as these can sometimes irritate the skin.
There areseveral topical treatments that can be used to treat genital warts. Some creams can weaken latex condoms, diaphragms and caps. Remember to check this with the doctor or nurse, who can advise you.
Topical treatmentsare described below.
Podophyllotoxinis usually recommended to treat clusters of small warts. It comes in liquid form and works by having a toxic (poisonous) effect on the cells of the warts.
A special application stick is used to draw up the correct dosage of the liquid, which is then dripped on to the wart.
You may experience some mild irritation when you apply the liquid or cream to the wart. Cream is usually advised for areas where applying liquid is difficult.
Treatment with podophyllotoxin is based on cycles. The first treatment cycle involves applying the medication twice a day for three days.
This is then followed by a rest cycle where you have four days without treatment. Most people require four to five treatment cycles separated by rest cycles.
Podophyllotoxin should not be used if you are pregnant.
Imiquimodis a type of cream usually recommended to treat larger warts.
It works by helping stimulate your immune system into attacking the warts. You apply the cream to the warts and then wash it off after6 to10 hours. This should be done three times a week.
You may experience skin irritation after you apply the cream. Usually this is mild, but contact the doctor or clinic if it does not improve.
It can often take several weeks of treatment before you notice an improvement in your warts.
Imiquimod is not usually used if you are pregnant.
Trichloroacetic acid (TCA) may be recommended to treat small warts that are very hard.
It works by destroying the proteins inside the cells of the wart. But if it is not applied correctly, TCA can damage healthy skin.
TCA is thought to be safe to use during pregnancy.
It is not recommended that you apply TCA yourself. Instead, you will be asked to visit your local GUM clinic once a week soa doctor or nurse can apply the medication.
After TCA is applied, some people experience an intense burning sensation for around 5 to 10 minutes.
There are four main methods used in the physical ablation of genital warts. They are:
These treatments are performed by a trained doctor or nurse.
Cryotherapyinvolves freezing the wart using liquid nitrogen andis usually recommended to treat multiple small warts, particularly those that develop on the shaft of the penis or on, or near, the vulva.
During cryotherapy treatment, you will experience a mild to moderate burning sensation.
Once the treatment has finished you may develop skin irritation, blistering and pain at the site of the wart. Your skin will take between oneand three weeks to heal.
Avoid having sex until the area of skin around the wart has fully healed.
Excision,wherewarts are cut away,is sometimes recommended to treat small hardened warts, particularly where this is a combination of smaller warts that have joined together to form a sort of cauliflower shape.
At the start of the procedure, you will be given a local anaesthetic to numb the area of skin around the wart. The wart will then be cut away with a surgical scalpel and the remaining incision sealed with stitches.
Excision can cause scarring, so it may not be suitable for very large warts. The area of skin where the wart was removed will be sore and tender for around one to three weeks.
You should avoid having sex until the area of skin around the wart has fully healed.
Electrosurgery is a specialist treatment. It is often combined with excision to treat large warts that develop around the anus or vulva that have failed to respond to topical treatments.
Excision is firstused to remove the outer bulk of the wart. A metal loop is then pressed against the wart. An electric current is passed through the loop to burn away the remaining part of the wart.
Removing a large number of warts in this way can be quite painful, so you may be given a regional anaesthetic (where everything below your spine is numbed, similar to an epidural during pregnancy) or even a general anaesthetic.
Laser surgery is also aspecialist treatment.It may be recommended to treat large genital warts that cannot be treated using other methods of physical ablation because they are difficultto access, such as warts deep inside your anus or urethra (the tube that connects the bladder to the penis or vulva, which urine passes through).
During the procedure,a surgeon will use a laser to burn away the warts. Depending on the number and size of the warts, laser surgery can be performed under either a local or general anaesthetic.
As with other types of ablation treatment, you should expect soreness and irritation at the site where the warts were removed. This should heal within two to four weeks.
Genital warts are small fleshy growths, bumps or skin changes that appear on or around the genital or anal area.
Genital warts usually appear within two to three months of developing an HPV infection, although incubation periods of up to a year have been reported.
Genital warts are caused by the human papilloma virus (HPV). The most common way HPV is passed from person to person is through sexual intercourse.
If you think that you may have genital warts, visit your local sexual health or genitourinary medicine (GUM) clinic.
Treatment for genital warts depends on the type of warts you have and where they are located. You do not need treatment if there are no visible warts.
Using condoms (male or female) every time you have vaginal or anal sex is the most effective way to avoid getting genital warts, other than being celibate.

Genital colonization and, rarely, infection by Actinomycetes spp. (most commonly A. israelii) has been associated with the use of intrauterine contraceptive devices (IUDs). This is generally identified on routine PAP smears and there is controversy about the most appropriate action. A conservative approach is advocated by many authorities as most women remain asymptomatic with IUD removal being curative for the few that develop symptoms.
The microbiology laboratory plays a small role in confirming the presence of Actinomyces spp. Secretions or scrapings from the IUD are Gram stained. Culture is not performed.
Direct Examination
Gram stain of secretions or scrapings from device

Thursday, July 3, 2014
Today I lay against the crinkly tissue, which wrinkled and ripped each time I moved--even when the only movement I made was to crane my neck around to the left and steal glimpses of my children watching the screen above us glowing its fluorescent purple. It was the first ultrasound they have been to, and will most likely be the last.
We were shown the brain, the eyes, the nose with the sinus cavities, the ears, the abdomen, the bladder, ten fingers and ten toes that continued to wiggle and wave as the probe pushed down against the cold, clear jelly on my stomach.
"The baby isth sthooooo cute!" Leah lisped with excitement, her hands clasped together.
"Dat baby looks like it's gonna eat dat shark," June explained, trying to make sense of the images before her.
"Is it a boy or a girl?" was the only thing Caleb continued to ask, until the technician finally answered.
I watched Caleb's face crumple as he brought his knees up to his chest and buried his head down. Ben reached over and wrapped him in his arms.
"It's okay to be sad, Bud," I said gently, attempting to comfort him while he was out of my arm's reach. The technician's eyes widened and shifted from my face over to Caleb's tears and I quietly explained, "We knew this would be hard for him, he's wanted a little brother for so long. The good news is, wanting a little brother has never stopped him from loving his little sisters."
"He's not the first one to cry, it's usually the mom though," was her upbeat response.
We continued the rest of the anatomical exam with a more subdued mood than we had begun, but it was still miraculous to see. There were so many parts and pieces working, dependent upon each other to connect and form together. The femur bones, the four heart chambers, the umbilical cord, the curved spine. I stared at her perfect little profile and tried to visualize the movements on the screen happening inside of me at the same moment.
I have admittedly been one who stays emotionally unattached--or mentally unattached?-- during my pregnancies, which used to bother me. I've wondered why I was not the type of woman to talk directly to my unborn child, or sing to them, or read them stories, or be able to associate my protruding stomach to a little baby actually alive inside of me, like I have heard so many do.
I've stopped being concerned with trying to be someone other than who I am, because the moment my child is placed in my arms the overwhelming love is so immediate, so thickly bound, that it feels like the missing piece of a puzzle I have been working on for 10 months is finally put in place. My brain can suddenly compute and accept the reality of growing another little human, and the disconnected time during pregnancy washes away.
One thing that does connect me during pregnancy, is to decide on a name. And I have, both a first and a middle name, one that jumped out at me a couple of months ago, and I haven't let go of since. It is a sweet, peaceful name with the middle one also belonging to two women of strength in my life. Ben isn't completely convinced yet, and this is the first time out of four that we haven't easily agreed, settling as soon as we heard the gender.
When the ultrasound was over, I met my midwife. I've always wanted to work with a midwife, and was excited to hear at my last doctor's appointment that our insurance covered them, so I made the switch. We spoke of what the next few months together looked like, and as she spoke, I felt a familiar feeling creep to the surface of my emotions--one I am currently digging through in therapy to continue to overcome.
More specifically, Fear of my own abilities and strength. I have barreled through many other Fears the past few years, and yet somehow as the midwife spoke, I recognized this Fear as one of the most deeply-buried, intrinsically ingrained of all of them. Working through this one will reach out and cause a shift, changing other areas of my life, I can sense it. These next few months will be interesting--that I know--and if I can meet the hurdles I for see ahead with faith in God and my abilities, they may also become one of the most challenging and rewarding of my entire life.
My little family went to lunch together after the appointment, all five of us sitting in a rounded booth. The girls passed the ultrasound pictures back and forth, and Caleb cheered up over his pasta and mandarin oranges. I found myself wondering how the dynamics of another girl will alter what we have in this moment, and could tell Ben was contemplating the same.
I am almost 20 weeks along, and feel that Halfway is very much a metaphor of my life right now. There are so many things unsettled, unfinished, unknown, waiting on one thing or another, still in Forming Mode.
Ben's need for full-time work that will make enough to support us continues, his dissertation is set to be finished (finished! I can hardly understand this concept! ) and defended by August 20th, our house may be sold while we are renting it, beginning any time after August we could be handed a slip of paper and told to find somewhere new, Ben will begin the application for interviews again in October, and---if all goes well--leave again for the majority of December and January while I do my best to juggle a newborn and three tiny people without the support of family close by.
The unknown of all of this can feel suffocating and terrifying, if I let it.
Like the tiny body parts I watched on the screen today, these pieces of our lives are dependent upon each other in order to grow, systematically working together to create what will become Our Future. Ben and I are doing our best to hang on, trying not to stress over how it will all come together.
We are trusting the process we are in, trying to believe in our own abilities and strength, waiting patiently while Halfway continues to develop, in both our lives and with our baby.

Oh, Lynsey Louise. You are magnificent. I love this. Your writing makes me want to write. I pray for you in the Forming and have great faith in God's power in our lives. In the process. I have seen it again and again as all the randomness of life takes shape. Rarely in the shape I've been anticipating, but always more beautiful than I'd imagined. Especially in hindsight. I love you!

The Latest Technology at Pediatric Dentistry of Brandon Benefits Your Child
Pediatric Dentists Dr. Jorges Torres and his associates at Pediatric Dentistry of Brandon, FL do everything they can to make your child's oral health care comfortable and precise. The latest technology is used to assist with imaging, treatment planning, soft tissue treatment, and even visualizing the tooth alignment that we can achieve with Invisalign. This technology sets our dental practice apart from the vast majority of other pediatric dental practices in Florida and the nation.
IRIS HD Intraoral Camera
By using our IRIS high definition intraoral camera we can show patients and their parents areas of the mouth that need treatment. A digital camera on a small, lighted wand is easily inserted in the child's mouth and comfortably takes close-up photos with extreme clarity. The images are viewed on a tablet, and we can zoom in on cavities and other dental features.
Chairside Digital Display
Parents are invited chairside to see their child's dental x-rays and intra-oral images on a digital tablet. Because digital images can be easily expanded, it is easy for parents and children to view what we are looking at in detail.
iTero Orthodontic Digital System
The iTero digital system is used to scan the mouth and create an articulated 3D digital model. This 3D model is used for treatment planning orthodontic cases and can be transferred to an Invisalign lab to make your teen's invisalign aligners. Digital scanning is more comfortable and accurate than taking traditional dental impressions and making dental casts. In fact, Invisalign cases that start with an iTero scan have seven times fewer fit issues than those started with traditional impressions.
iTero's ClinCheck software enables patients and parents to visualize how the teeth and smile will look after treatment with Invisalign. Orthodontic simulations are viewed in our consultation room on a large-screen ultra high definition (UHD) TV. When you can see how the teeth will look after treatment, it is easier to understand the benefits of optimal tooth alignment and make your decision.
Waterlase Technology for Soft Tissue Procedures
Waterlase® is an innovative tool that employs water and laser energy to precisely cut soft tissue. With this technology, our dentists perform some simple soft tissue surgeries, for example pediatric "tongue tie release" surgeries, frenectomies, and gingival tooth exposure can be comfortably and quickly accomplished with the Waterlase laser. Soft tissue surgical cutting with Waterlase reduces bleeding, post-operative pain and swelling.
Diode Laser for Hemostasis
We also have a diode laser which quickly dries moisture and stops bleeding in the mouth. This enables us to comfortably and quickly do dental restorations such as dental bonding and to stop bleeding after tooth extraction. This efficiency allows us to minimize the time your child is in the dental chair and speed wound healing.
Are you seeking a pediatric dentist who does everything possible to make your child's dental exams and treatment as comfortable as possible?
We're glad! We look forward to serving you and your children. Give us a call today to schedule your appointment (813) 685-0804.

CHANDIGARH: To check the surging prices of pulses in the state, the Haryana government on Wednesday decided to fix maximum rates of different pulses for retail selling.
As per the government decision, the wholesalers would sell pulses on prescribed rates at special places allotted by the administration in each district. Also, they would be given a rebate in market fee by the government.
Additional chief secretary (food and supplies department) S S Prasad said after detailed discussion with all wholesalers, maximum retail prices of chana, moong, masur (malkan), masur and urad (chhilka) pulses had been fixed as Rs 58, Rs 95-100, Rs 75-80, Rs 70-74 and Rs 120-125 per kg, respectively. Along with this, it has been decided that the manufacturers can stock 1/24th of annual grinding capacity for raw material and 1/48th of annual grinding capacity for finished material.
Similarly, the limit of dealers, including wholesalers, distribution agents and selling agents, has been reduced to 250 quintals and of retailers to 25 quintals. Distribution of pulses would be started within 15 days. This would lead to further decrease in the prices of pulses.
Prasad said all deputy commissioners had been issued directions to constitute a team at the district level, headed by an HCS officer with district marketing promotion officer and district food and supplies controller or district food and supplies officer as its members. These teams would extensively check stock holdings of all types of pulses in their respective districts to ensure that manufacturers, dealers and retailers have not stored more stock than the prescribed limit.
He said that these teams have so far conducted 736 checks in which only one wholesaler in Karnal district was found holding a stock of 120 quintals of pulses more than the prescribed limit.

It is with great sadness and heartbreak that I heard of the passing of one of my life's Angels, Stuart Wilde, Wizard Extraodinaire.
Stui was the first person that I met of incredible realised beauty. His was a beauty that came from being unconditionally, his authentic self, no edits and adulterations, no apologies nor adjustments made to gain approval. That courage to live without a mask, no matter what the consequences, created a radiant, precious and rare light.
He was a mystic with incredible gifts, the Merlin of his age whose ability to travel interdimensionally throughout the realms of this world were exceptional. A sage and teacher to many; he said what most would not have dared to say and foretold much of what is now happening in the world today as a result of darkness, greed and fear running the planet.
He was deeply irreverent in the best of ways, standing up to confront pretender powers, false authority figures and abusers. A champion of courage, truth, tenderness and beauty; he was undoubtedly an empowerer of humanity and dedicated servant of the divine feminine and Big Universal LOVE.
Such wonderful mischief; he was the funniest man I have ever met … playful , cheeky, witty, a sacred clown and self described "merry scamp" full of glee who would have most of us rolling in the aisles, tickled to the core by his perception of the robotic consciousness in the mainstream world he called Tic Toc.
If you have not read a Stuart Wilde book you might want to consider giving yourself that gift.
It is said that people come into your life for a reason, season or lifetime. His passing has made me realise that one category has been left out;
Many Reasons, Many Seasons and Many Lifetimes.
Too many words are needed and there will never be enough to capture your spirit and my love for you.
I am grateful for the precious memories and amazing connection with you beyond worlds.
May I live up to the path that you helped me discover.
My Eternal Love for My Eternal Friend,
See You Down the Rabbit Hole, Amongst the Stars in the Fiery Field of Unconditional Love xxx
For you Stui …"Somebody loves you more than you know …"
Stuart Wilde : September 24, 1946 – May 1, 2013
Stuart passed away from a heart attack after his final meditation on a mountain top in Ireland.

German versionThe German version of Darkseed suffered from its translation. There were lots of spelling and grammatical mistakes (the first one on the very first screen of the intro, written in big letters), the rendering from English into German was clumsy and inapt, and sometimes English idioms, which are unknown in their respective form in German, were translated literally, which made them sound unintentional ludicrous or rather stupid. And there were points in the game, when several of these things came together, where it was hard or even impossible to comprehend the meaning of some sentences at all.
- There isn't a single Giger design made especially for this game. Giger looked through all of his past work and chose those which he thought would fit better for Darkseed.
- It is one of the first (if not the first) point-and-click adventure games that used higher resolution (640x350). Rumour has it that it was made on Giger's demand.
Mike DawsonMike Dawson, the main character of the game, is based on the game's producer and designer Mike Dawson. Acting and voice acting was also provided by him.
Rumour has it that Dawson, went mad after that game was produced. In an interview with Gamasutra, he comments this myth: "Actually, I have no idea where it came from. In fact, I'd never heard that urban legend until just now. But frankly, I like it – and so do my six other personalities."
ManualThere was this strange advice in the manual (translated from the German version): "Think logically. We tried to give all puzzles in the game a logic meaning. Only sometimes the logic may seem hard to comprehend. If you are stuck anywhere, try to use everything that you already carry. That may be successful." That doesn't sound too confident in the own game design, doesn't it?
PackagingThe cut-out in the front of the box holds a small, removable diamond shaped box that originally contained the floppy disks. The small box shows a portrait of H. R. Giger's beloved wife Li who passed away in 1975. This painting (Li II, 1974, Work no. 251) measures 200 x 140 cm and contains a number of elements symbolizing death. The oversized head is decapitated and fed intravenously.
References: CybersoftNot only Mike Dawson, refers to (a member of) Cyberdreams:
- Mike Dawson lives, according to the manual, in an old Victorian house on Ventura Drive, Woodland Hills. The first office of Cyberdreams was located at 21243 Ventura Boulevard, Woodland Hills. Moreover, that's the same address as printed on Delbert's business card, Mike's neighbor in the game.
- The store in the game is called "Klug's Food Market". Rolf Klug was the owner of Cyberdreams (so he provided "the food").
- The clue on the microfiche card that you examine in the library on day 3 is signed by Ryan Ketchum. Pat(rick) Ketchum was the President of Cyberdreams.
- However, Pat gets his own signature. The cracked mirror note in the DOS version is signed by Timothy, but in the Amiga CD-32 version it is signed by Pat.
ReferencesIn the real side, at the graveyard, read all tombs. You will find one for G. Threepwood, the main character of The Secret of Monkey Island.
Differences between versions
- Amiga floppy edition of the game bears version number 1.0 while Amiga CD32 version is marked as 1.1.
- Graphics of Amiga CD32 version are slightly improved, polished and retouched, however the game still does not make full use of AGA chipset.
- Amiga CD32 was enriched with Mike Dawson's voice
- Amiga Joker

I decided to check if the coxa rams fit as designed, the answer is yes,, and no! The front and back rams are fine, but the middle ram has a clashing issue with part of the frame. I sat puzzling over this for some time, and went back to the 3D cad model and studied it for the same clash.
In the model sure enough there is no problem, but on the machine there is a clash of at least 3 to 5mm. So I started measuring everything.. and comparing to the model. Again, averting looked spot on.. that was until I measured the diameter of the ram, yup, the ram is 60mm diameter, and the 3d model is 50mm diameter. Hmm, not sure why when or how that happened, but there you go, it did! Nothing the grinder wont fix :).
The rams look great when they are in place, they break up the square shape of the chassis.

Belfius Bank Flémalle
transformation and extension of a bank branch
This major renovation-conversion project focuses on reorganizing the interior volumes, without changing the structure or the façades.
The extension part of the project is situated at the rear of the existing volume. The objective is to create a discrete volume grafted on in a way that respects the existing building. While differing architecturally through the use of like rough plaster and glass, the new part remains in perfect harmony with the existing building.
The project adheres strictly to the initial measurements, i.e. cornice height, proportion of volumes, and continuing the brick patterning. The only charge to the façade is a facelift of the lobby part.
At the rear, the additional functions are grouped around a landscaped garden with a transparent and open architecture. This concept allows maximum penetration of natural light into the branch to create a comfortable working area both for employees and for visiting customers.
The project consists of a bank branch located mainly on the ground floor. The upper floor remains intact. The size of the branch will be increased by approximately 88 m² on the ground floor.

CONSUMER ALERT: Beware of Unlicensed Health Plans
As a Massachusetts resident age 18 or older, you are required to have health coverage or face a tax penalty - unless you are exempt or have a waiver. If you are shopping for health coverage, the Massachusetts Division of Insurance want to help you make a smart health plan choice and avoid scams.
|Unlicensed Health Plans Under Investigation
Be careful to only buy health insurance from a company that is licensed by the Massachusetts Division of Insurance. The Division of Insurance and the Attorney General are aware of certain entities that are not licensed in Massachusetts and that may have been fraudulently marketing products as insured health plans in Massachusetts.
|The following companies are under investigation both within Massachusetts and by regulators in other states:
|Other unauthorized health plans are being sold by:
Please be cautious when looking into coverage with any unfamiliar entity. To make sure that the plan you are considering is insurance, sold by a legitimate insurance carrier, call the Division of Insurance at 617-521-7794 or check the website at www.mass.gov/doi.
|Beware of Health Plan Promises That Seem Too Good to be True
Do not be fooled by bogus health plans selling on the internet or through unsolicited faxes or phone calls. You should always be careful when surfing the web. Review any website carefully and look for disclaimers such as "this is not insurance" or "not available in Massachusetts."
When you do find a health plan that looks like it meets your needs, check the Division of Insurance website or call to find out if the company is licensed to sell that type of insurance in Massachusetts before you commit to buying the product. Unsolicited faxes or phone calls should be viewed suspiciously. Be careful not to give out personal information or make a payment in response to an unsolicited fax or without checking it out first.
|Look for the Warning Signs of a Scam
|No Company Name or Address
|Asking for Personal Information
|Beware of advertising that does not give the specific name and address of the insurance company offering the health plan.
|Beware of telephone marketers who ask for your personal financial information in order to enroll you immediately.
|Limited Time Offer
|Pay First, Read Later
|Beware of high pressure sales tactics that tell you a low monthly price is a limited time offer and will expire in a day or two.
|Beware of companies that will not provide any written information about the health plan unless you pay first.
|Do not Be Fooled by Discount Plans
Do not buy a discount plan as an alternative to health plan coverage. Discount plans do not pay anything toward your medical claims. Instead, they allow you to get a discount off of some of your medical charges. Discount plans may look like a cheap health plan, but they are not health insurance and they do not meet your Massachusetts "individual mandate" requirement for health coverage. Discount plans may promise big savings, but you may end up with no savings and no way to get your money back. Discount plans are not regulated by Massachusetts or federal law, so buyers must beware and know what they are getting before signing up for a discount plan. You should check with your doctor or local pharmacist to ask whether you will receive any real savings before you give your money or your personal information to anyone offering health care discounts.
|Read the Fine Print Before Choosing a Health Plan
Always take a close look at plan benefits and limitations before you sign up or pay any fees. That way you can see in advance if the plan is right for you and your family.
Make sure you understand what the plan does and does not cover. Remember to add up how much you will have to pay out of your pocket for deductibles and co-payments and items that are not covered. High out-of-pocket costs can soon wipe out the savings of lower monthly premiums.
|Where to Find Help
Choosing a health plan is one of the most important decisions you will make. Make sure you get what you pay for. If you think you may have fallen victim to a scam or if you have questions about a health plan or insurance company, please call the Attorney General's Health Care Hotline at 888-830-6277, or the Division of Insurance Consumer Service Section at 617-521-7794. You can also find additional information on health insurance at the Division of Insurance website www.mass.gov/doi.

|Milk, yesterday
She'd come straight off the stage at Shark bar, where she'd been jiggling like a wild thing, and then bounced straight into my lap. The barfine was paid, and we left in a hurry.
A little hungry though, we picked up some mystery meat kebabs and sausages on Cowboy before heading back to my place. And then, after feasting on these surprisingly spicy satays, we retired to the bedroom.
Where I discovered first-hand the all too unpleasant effects of having oneself pleasured by the mouth of a young lady who's just eaten nuclear spices.
The amount of pain I was suddenly experiencing in my nether regions, dear readers, lay somewhere beyond what is describable with mere words. Suffice to stay, it burned.
I ate a lot of spicy food in the UK, where curry is the staple diet in many areas. So I knew from experience that neither water nor lager have the power to douse spiced-up taste-buds. Milk, however, does.
And so, with this in mind, I sprang over to the fridge, poured myself a large glass of nicely chilled milk, and immersed the "old chap" in it. Forget Thai massage, dipping one's spicy burning knob in cold milk is by far the most soothing experience I've had in Thailand.
And I think it was then that I had what's referred to as a "Naked Lunch moment".
Naked Lunch is, of course, the surreal William Burroughs novel. Supposedly Burroughs' buddy Jack Kerouac came up with the title, which refers to the instant when a person can see exactly what is on the tip of his or her fork – that is, what is truly going on.
There I was, stark naked in my living room, at three o'clock in the morning, listening to the giggles of an entirely unconcerned bed-ridden whore, with my flaccid member immersed in a glass of milk.
Time seemed to stand still, as I took stock of my life, my achievements, and my current situation, vis-a-vis the natty penis/milk combo between my thighs. I wondered what my friends and family would say, if they could see me – frozen in time.
I decided they'd find it highly amusing. And so the clock of my life resumed ticking. I removed myself, pleasantly soothed, from the glass of calcium-rich, nutritious and now both slightly spicy and slightly cheesy milk, and took it into the bedroom where, before we resumed the evening's activities, I handed it to said bargirl – so that she might soothe her spicy-hot mouth*.
*Okay, so I made the last part up. But it would have been extremely funny if it were true.

Shorten promises $4.6m for targeted teaching as Coalition questions the ALP's economic credibility
May 12, 2016 | News | by The Learning Press staff
Opposition leader Bill Shorten has announced a $4.6 million boost for targeted teaching as he continues to focus on school education in the first week of Labor's election campaign.
The Labor leader says a Shorten government will expand the use of targeted teaching, a method through which teachers rigorously assess and focus on the specific learning needs of individual students.
It is an approach endorsed by the independent policy think tank the Grattan Institute, with Australian trials showing it has the potential to improve the proportion of disadvantaged students meeting early primary learning benchmarks by up to 20 per cent.
Mr Shorten claims the policy will help "put Australian students on the right track to meet Labor's target for our schools to be back in the top five internationally for reading, maths and science by 2025".
Labor's policy documents states: "Targeted teaching is about recognising that a one-size-fits-all approach to the classroom does not achieve the best results, and backing our educators in their hard work to support every student.
"It means catching students before they fall too far behind, and making sure students who are ahead are still challenged to reach their full potential."
But Mr Shorten has also warned that school funding under a Labor government would be "conditional on evidence-based learning programs which are proven to increase student results" - a reflection of the Coalition's plan to tie extra education funding to conditions around teaching and learning improvements.
The Coalition has meanwhile continued to attack Labor's economic management, with finance minister Mathias Cormann accusing Bill Shorten of being ignorant or deliberately misleading in his predictions of the economic benefits flowing from the party's proposed education reforms.
"Bill Shorten is not up to the job of successfully managing the important transition happening in our economy," he told The Australian newspaper.
The claim was made after the author of a report used by Labor to illustrate that its 37.5 billion schools spending plan would lead to a 2.8 per cent rise in economic growth, questioned the figures.
Stanford University professor Eric Hanushek, who co-wrote the OECD-commissioned Universal Basic Skills report, told The Australian that it measured economic gains over eight decades to 2095.
He said the 2.8 per cent growth was a predicted long-term benefit - not an increase flowing "the moment" children's academic performance improved, as claimed by shadow finance minister Tony Burke.
The professor cautioned against the claims of rapid growth and said his work did not directly link higher spending with better academic results.
The Coalition argues that greater spending does not directly equate to better student outcomes and Australians should focus more on teacher quality, parent engagement, school autonomy and a new curriculum as improvement drivers.
