Ten Goofiest Plot Points of the First Ten Issues of the Fantastic Four
10. Namor Weinstein?!
I will admit, I don't have that much of a problem with Namor as a movie producer, from Fantastic Four #9, but still, it IS pretty goofy.
9. Radar Eyes?!!?
Not as goofy, though, as the scene later in the same issue, where we learn that Namor has...oh lord...RADAR EYES!!
Luckily, this power has not been used much over the years.
8. Sue the Ball-buster
Greg already shared this nugget from Fantastic Four #1 with us awhile back, but it is too goofy to not include on the list.
Not only does she manage to sneak in a Commie shot, but she also gets to razz Ben!! Beautiful!
7. A Bit Forward On His Part
In #4, as the Fantastic Four where searching for Johnny Storm, who had (ahem) stormed off at the end of #3, Reed thought a motorcyclist might know where Johnny was. However, rather than waiting to ask them when they stopped, Reed had a better idea.
6. Luckily, there wasn't a war on at the time.
In Fantastic Four #2, the Skrulls convince everyone that the Fantastic Four are bad guys, so the Army locks them up.
Remember that the Army KNOWS who they have locked up.
They KNOW that Sue is the Invisible Girl.
And yet, when they open her cell door...
Yes, they thought that the Invisible Girl must have just vanished or something.
5. Cousins, Identical Cousins
This is another plot point that has not really been used since it was first mentioned.
The Puppet Master once had his daughter, Alicia Masters, inflitrate the Fantastic Four with a wig to make her look like Sue.
Sure, she apparently looked a lot like Sue, but it is still embarrassing that this disguise worked - not only wasn't she Sue, she was BLIND!!!
4. What's up with THAT?
My pal Kurt Mitchell first pointed this out awhile back, and it is still pretty funny.
Check out the cover of Fantastic Four #1.
Okay, so, well, WHO TIED REED UP?!?!
One of life's goofy mysteries, eh?
3. Sure, sooo simple.
In Fantastic Four #2, when the Skrulls pretend to be the FF, they also had to mimic their powers. This explanation as to how EASY it was to mimic the Human Torch always struck me as quite hilarious.
Yeah....that was TOO easy! A child could do it!
2. Dumb Skrulls
The whole plot of convincing an alien race that the planet is tougher than they think is a standard plot. Nothing goofy about it.
However, using pages you cut out of comic books?!!?
The only thing goofier is that it WORKED! The Skrulls can build ships capable of interstellar travel, but can't tell that they're looking at DRAWINGS?!!
How did the Kree NOT win that war?!
1. Lucky Day!
This, though, has to be the goofiest panel in FF history. From the classic issue #5, where the group meets Doctor Doom for the first time, Reed, Ben and Johnny go back in time...but what to do for disguises?!?
They need costumes, and they just so happen to come across...
Two pirates.
Fighting over a large bundle of stolen clothes.
Bwah ha ha ha ha ha ha ha!!
Stan Lee really gave that one a LOT of thought!!
Anyhow, that's the top ten! Feel free to quibble, or to offer your choices!
And Happy April Fool's Day!!

Chris Pratt is taking a few safety precautions for the upcoming Jurassic World press tour. In a message posted to the actor's Facebook page on May 22, Pratt offers a lengthy pre-apology for offensive comments he may say while conducting press rounds for the film. "I want to make a heartfelt apology for whatever it is I end up accidentally saying during the forthcoming #JurassicWorld press tour. I hope you understand it was never my intention to offend anyone and I am truly sorry," the message reads. "When I do (potentially) commit the offensive act for which I am now (pre) apologizing you must understand I (will likely have been) tired and exhausted when I (potentially) said that thing I (will have had) said that (will have had) crossed the line." Pratt's comments come on the heels of the Avengers cast's controversial press tour for Age of Ultron, during which Robert Downey Jr. walked out of an interview, and Chris Evans and Jeremy Renner received backlash for referring to Scarlett Johansson's character Black Widow as a "slut" and "whore." Read Pratt's full message below. I want to make a heartfelt apology for whatever it is I end up accidentally saying during the forthcoming #JurassicWorld...

Having been foolish (or senile) enough to forget to brag about my Whitsprgs OtterTail Tallulah, CD last summer when she earned her AKC Companion Dog obedience title by winning two High In Trial awards and a third place I had to post today to make amends to her. Yesterday Tallulah won her Rally Novice class with the only perfect 100 point score amoung 27 dogs entered. It was my first ever attempt at Rally-O. I knew Tallulah could do it, but was not so sure about myself and all those confusing signs! I managed and Tallulah did great - deserving her mug shot here on my blog. Tallulah is a fun Lab and a real social butterfly who is sure the world revolves around her, so she really shines when she is in the spotlight.
I am doing things backward by getting her Rally title after her Companion Dog title, but I have known how to show for a CD for 20 years. Rally is new for us. Next time I will do it in the right order and that will be starting with my chocolate Nissa later this year.
Thanks for the fun day out, Tallulah Bear!

Dog Training Tips - Feeding the pack
My own dogs learn the rules of proper etiquette at meals from the time they are young puppies. I feed them all in my kitchen at the same time, each from their own bowl. When I rescue dogs or take in fosters they all learn to follow the pack rules. It is more of a challenge for some than others, but all of them have learned to eat peacefully along side the rest of the dogs.
My feeding rules in general are - All dogs lie calmly while meals are being prepared (a struggle for some new dogs, but they learn). When food is ready they go to their spots and wait as I put the bowls down - in the same order in the same places every meal - new dog last. (New dogs have their first meals in crates or x-pens in the great room so I can assess their attitude and they feel comfortable while getting to know the rest of us.) No one is allowed to approach anyone else's bowl until that dog walks away. The first bowl down is usually finished before I put the last bowl down because I also make them each do something before getting their food (and being Labs, they eat quickly leaving no atom behind!). A new dog at first has to sit and make eye contact and not approach any other dog's bowl. Then they may have to down and wait, or let me check ears and teeth, or whatever little thing I think they need to learn - but starting easy and progressing in difficulty over time. One dog I rescued was food aggressive, so he progressed to sit and wait with his bowl on the floor and make eye contact. If he failed I simply pick the bowl up for a second and he corrected himself and we tried again. In the beginning he tried barking to boss me I turn my back on him, making eye contact impossible for a few seconds. Since he had previously learned he had to make eye contact before being rewarded, he corrected himself and tried harder when I turn to face him again. For my own dogs we do more advanced obedience stuff or silly tricks. The older they are the less they have to do.
The Labs that I bred and owned for many years were all softies and very obliging; taking pride in doing the "right thing". That's the personality I prefer; it fits my easy-going training and life style. But some of the rescue and foster dogs have more dominant attitudes and different histories, so need more discipline as well as clear step by step training rituals. If you have a dog that is food aggressive, please use caution. I have experience and a pack of well-behaved dogs setting good examples at meal time. The best way to avoid such problems is to control the food and the attitude from the beginning. I don't like the strict "no free lunch" approach to living with dogs, but you have to do what the dog needs to get your point across. I adapt my training to fit each dog and each situation and everyone eats peacefully. A few of my dogs retrieve all of the bowls for me when everyone is finished - a fun way to end each meal.

As an Olympic archer, Jennifer Nichols has no issue keeping her eye on her target, and her love and relationship values were no exception. In fact, the celibate athlete didn't even lock lips until she was 27 years old!
"I saved my first kiss for the man I knew I was going to marry — my fiance," the 28-year-old devout Christian tells Us Weekly of smooching her now-fiance, Chris Hardy, 25. "I made that commitment when I was about 13 years old. I knew that I wanted to save my kiss on top of purity. I felt like a kiss was something very special and I wanted to save that."
PHOTOS: Love lives of athletes
For the pair, who met while attending Texas A&M and have been dating since December 2009, it was love at first sight — or bite.
"We were both in the same political science class," Nichols describes to Us. "I saw him from across the room and I was really attracted to him and then one morning I was coming from my Arabic class and I had a box of donuts and I saw him sitting on a bench so I offered him some donuts."
It sounds like the Wyoming native has nabbed herself quite the top-notch man to marry. While she's busy training for her third Olympics, Hardy is putting his focus on their wedding, which is set to take place this fall.
"Chris is extremely involved in the planning process," she says. "We Skype like crazy. We email links back and forth of wedding venues and photographers."

The last post dealt with students' excuses for the way things are. Today's will focus on the parents of those young scholars. My first eleven years of teaching were on the high school level where meeting the parents of my students was often quite interesting. It left me thinking one of two things — either "Is that child really from that family?!" or "Well, that explains a lot!" As one of my college teachers used to say, "The apple doesn't fall far from the horse, does it?"
The following are reputed to be real notes written by parents. I have left (mis)spellings and grammatical problems intact. Some of them are funny, but some are just sad.
My son is under a doctor's care and should not take P.E. today. Please execute him.
Please excuse Lisa for being absent. She was sick and I had her shot.
Please excuse Jimmy for being. It was his father's fault.
Dear School: Please ekscuse John being absent on Jan. 28, 29, 30, 31, 32, and also 33.
Please excuse Roland from P.E. for a few days. Yesterday he fell out of a tree and misplaced his hip.
John has been absent because he had two teeth taken out of his face.
Megan could not come to school today because she has been bothered by very close veins.
Chris will not be in school cus he has an acre in his side.
Please excuse Ray Friday from school. He has very loose vowels.
I kept Billie home because she had to go Christmas shopping because I don't know what size she wear.
Please excuse Tommy for being absent yesterday. He had diarrhea and his boots leak.
Irving was absent yesterday because he missed his bust.
Please excuse Jennifer for missing school yesterday. We forgot to get the Sunday paper off the porch, and when we found it Monday, we thought it was Sunday.
Sally won't be in school a week from Friday. We have to attend her funeral.
Please excuse my son's tardiness. I forgot to wake him up and I did not find him till I started making the beds.
Please exuse Tiffany from being absent she had a sour throught.
George was absent yesterday because he had a stomach.
To give the benefit of the doubt, it could be that the notes were actually written by the student and signed by the parent. Now we know why parents are screaming for better education for their kids!
As I prepared for this post I found a excuse form from one fairly tough school district:
On the other end of the spectrum I offer you an All-Purpose Excuse Form, designed to help get you out of the trouble you've gotten yourself into. It's multiple choice, so pick the items that work best for your situation. You'll be surprised how effective this form can be! If nothing else, it will serve as fodder for learning to write your own excuses. (I realize this is something some of you may need no help with. In fact, you could probably make suggestions on how to improve the form below....)
a) Mom,
b) Dad,
c) Love of my life,
d) Assistant Principal,
e) Local Police Chief,
Words cannot begin to express how sorry I am that your
a) car
b) house
c) pet
d) espresso maker
e) left arm
was severely damaged by my
a) infantile
b) tasteless
c) inept
d) comically brilliant but nonetheless sadistic
e) woefully underappreciated
prank. How could I have known that the
a) car
b) jet ski
c) large helium balloon
d) rodent driven sledge
e) Zamboni
I was riding in would go so far out of control? And while it is true that I should not have pointed it in the direction of your
a) house,
b) wife,
c) Cub Scout troop,
d) 1/16th sized replica of the Statue of Liberty, complete with light bulb in the torch,
e) priceless collection of Coca-cola bottles,
you must understand that it was all meant in fun. The subsequent carnage that I caused is beyond my ability to
a) imagine,
b) fathom,
c) comprehend,
d) appreciate,
e) pay for,
and I must therefore humbly ask your forgiveness. I know that you are perfectly within your rights to
a) hate me,
b) sue me,
c) shun me,
d) take my firstborn,
e) gouge out my eyes with spoons and feed them to the fish in your koi pond,
but I ask you to remember all the good times we've had, joshing around at
a) school
b) work
c) church
d) the bowling alley
e) the municipal jail
and to remember that I am first and foremost your
a) friend.
b) child.
c) sibling.
d) lease co-signer.
e) only possible match, should you ever need a bone marrow transplant.
I think that counts for more than this one prank, especially a prank that
a) was so stupid.
b) was so silly.
c) would have been funny, if it had worked.
d) you would have done, if you had thought of it first.
e) I'm surely going to use again on someone else.

Check out what people are saying about us!
VENUES Liberty Station
VENUES Liberty Station offers 28 acres of incredible, historic surroundings at the former Naval Training Center San Diego. Our unique location encompasses beautifully restored buildings and lush landscapes, ideal for public and private events.
It was everything we imagined and more! We're definitely happy with our experience and the way everything turned out.
The staff members were so helpful! They had timely correspondence, they coordinated with my needs and wants, and were extremely hospitable.
We held our wedding reception at the McMillin Event Center and it was beyond what we had hoped for... Our guests are still talking about how impressed they were and how much fun they had!
The clean, polished look of both indoor and outdoor venues offer a perfect canvas for whatever theme/decor you choose to create.
Probably the best and easiest venue to deal with by far. The staff was great to work with and they made our lives easy.
The location was everything I could ask for and more. Having everything in the same area made it a very enjoyable experience for my guests... My guests were really impressed with everything.
I am so impressed and will be recommending this to friends and clients for a long time to come. Highly recommended!
We chose to have our reception here because it fit our budget and we were able to transform the space into exactly what we wanted. We were blown away when we walked in on our wedding day!
It was a beautiful setting and all of our guests loved it. We are planning on throwing more events there.
All my needs were met above and beyond and I couldn't be happier with the turnout of my event!

It's Time to Ditch the Tablets
Greater sales shouldn't spell greater headaches.
Third-party online ordering systems have revolutionized the restaurant industry, greatly expanding the revenue potential for restaurants. But too often they have spelled operational headaches, as restaurant workers are tasked with pulling orders from these platforms and manually entering them into their own point-of-sale (POS) systems.
That's where Chowly comes in. Chowly's software bridges the gap between third-party platforms and POS systems, eliminating the need for manual order entry. We believe that IT companies should manage software, allowing restaurant professionals to manage restaurants.
Did you know?
15% of manually entered orders contain at least one error.

Thanks for your help, Rick! Interspersed are some questions and rationales for you to shoot down... :-) > From: Rick James <rjames@stripped> > > s_product_sales_log has no PRIMARY KEY. All InnoDB tables 'should' have an explicit > PK. This table really has no identifying information. There could be two identical, valid rows, if the same person sold the same amount of the same product to the same other person on the same day. All the foreign keys were indexed. Is there something I don't understand about something a PK field does? If an individual record cannot be uniquely identified by its information, is there really any need for a primary key? None the less, I added field "ID" as an unsigned autoincrement INT and made it PK. > INT(5) is not what you think. INT is always a 32-bit, 4-byte quantity, regardless of > the number. > > Use TINYINT UNSIGNED, SMALLINT UNSIGNED, etc. wherever reasonable. Understood. I make all my keys UINT even when they could be smaller, because I've gotten into some gnarly consistency problems. with foreign keys. >> KEY `is_value_added` (`is_value_added`), > A single-column INDEX on a flag, ENUM, and other low-cardinality field, is almost > always useless. Why is that? Surely, even a flag separates the record space into two? > Performance issues... >> WHERE YEAR(sales.`Date`) = '{{{1}}}' > won't use >> KEY `Date` (`Date`), > because the column (Date) is hidden in a function. A workaround: > WHERE `Date` >= '{{{1}}}-01-01' > AND `Date` < '{{{1}}}-01-01' + INTERVAL 1 YEAR Thanks! Good catch. > JOINing two subqueries -- There is no way to index either of them, so the JOIN will > have to do a table scan of one temp table for every row of the other temp table. > (The alternative is to CREATE TEMPORARY TABLE... with an index, for one of the > subqueries.) But I made sure the subqueries were the smallest possible sets -- essentially, the domain of s_profit_centre, which only has 12 records. I had the entire thing coded up into one massive JOIN of everything, and it took 30 minutes to run! By LEFT JOINing down to a dozen or fewer records, it seems to run in reasonable time, even though it's two subqueries that are not indexed. > It would probably be better to move the mt.tot!=0 test inside: > > GROUP BY `Profit Centre` > ) mt ON mt.pcid = tt.pcid > WHERE mt.tot != 0 > ) xx > --> > GROUP BY `Profit Centre` > HAVING tot != 0 -- added > ) mt ON mt.pcid = tt.pcid > -- removed: WHERE mt.tot != 0 > ) xx > > That would make mt have fewer rows, hence that unindexed JOIN could run faster. My first attempt to do that produced an error. And again, both the subqueries will have 12 or fewer records, so I'm wondering if this really helps anything. Thanks for your help!

Finding the area of various geometric figures is a simple and useful mathematical operation that often proves useful in the real world. Finding the area of square or rectangular figures is quite simple. Calculating the area of circles, triangles or other figures can be a bit trickier.
Depending on the type of figure, you may need to make a few measurements before making a calculation. If you are solving a math problem in a textbook, the necessary measurements have likely been made for you already. If you are working with real-world figures, such as your rectangular living room floor, find the length, width, base, height and/or diameter measurements with a ruler or tape measure.
Always check your work (even if you are using a calculator), particularly if you are using these measurements to calculate how much of something you will need to buy or order, such as carpet or hardwood flooring. A few extra seconds checking your work can save from a mistake that costs you money and time.
Calculate the area of a square by squaring the length of one of the sides. In other words, if the length of a side of a square is X, then the area (denoted by the letter A) of the square is X^2. Therefore, A = X^2 for squares.
Know that rectangles have two short sides and two long sides. The length (L) denotes the long side of the figure, and the width (W) denotes the short side. To find the area of a rectangle, multiply the length by the width. Therefore, A = L x W for rectangles.
Find the area of a triangle. The base of the triangle (B) is on the bottom, and the height (H) is defined as the length of a straight line dropped from the tip of the triangle down to its base. To calculate the area of a triangle, multiply the base by the height by 1/2. In other words, A = (1/2) B x H for triangles.
Use a calculator to figure the area of a circle. Here, you are working with a constant. To find the area of a circle, you must first find the radius (R), which is equal to 1/2 of the diameter--a line that cuts a circle equally in half. To find the area, multiply the constant pi (a good approximation for this value is 3.14) by the radius squared. So, A = 3.14 x R^2 for circles.
Know that a trapezoid is a four-sided figure with a set of parallel sides. Though it might seem impossible to calculate the area of trapezoids, there is a formula that will help you make sense of it all. Simply add the values of both bases (hint: these are the parallel sides) and divide this number by 2. Multiply this number by the height of the trapezoid. In other words, A = (B1 + B2 / 2) x H for any trapezoid.

I've been talking a lot about how I need to get on-track with some ST or something new to my routine. I'm training for my half marathon, so the only schedule I seem to be following is a running schedule. On my non-run days I either bike or walk the dogs. Toward the end of last week I did start adding in some ST again, but since it was late in the week, that was only for one day.
Yesterday I was sick (some stomach bug... that included making my belly so bloated I looked a good three or four months pregnant...talk about a fat day!) so despite my plan to either walk or bike, and do some ST, I did....Nothing. I am feeling better this afternoon (other than a little tired) so I'm ready to start fresh. Today is a running day (30 minutes) so I'll be doing that followed by something else. I decided that I really like my BB DVDs. As of now I only have two programs, BBL and Rockin' Body. I asked a friend her opinion on programs, which she shared with me, as well as giving me info about hybrid programs. I didn't even consider that possibility! I thought that I'd have to do one program or the other, which is why I tend to tire of them so quickly. Both came with a plan to follow but I was trying to not do those workouts on run days (BBL was before training began, I believe so I was running and then walking for longer periods of time).
I found this hybrid plan that incorporates the programs that I have, which I'll be starting - today!!
Due to recent lack of weight loss, I know I need to make some changes. I know strengthening is necessary and will be a huge factor in getting my loss moving again. I get tired of doing the same things over and over again, which is why I think a hybrid plan will be a great idea for me.
I decided to revamp my entire workout thought process/plan.
First, I need to get back into twice daily workouts. There is no reason I cannot get up in the morning and do something (whether it be a 30 minute DVD or a 30 minute run) and then do something else later/after work. Not everything has to be done at once. When I did two-a-days I really enjoyed them. My sleep pattern has been better lately, so I should be able to get up without much difficulty. I've been getting to bed toward the earlier end of my bedtime range and haven't been waking much during the night.
I'm saying that this is my first week, even though I'm already a day behind in starting. I don't want to wait until next week. I find that saying "I'll start....next week...tomorrow...next month..." whatever is an easy way to allow myself to procrastinate or forget. Just because there is a set plan and I'm starting a day late doesn't mean it should be pushed off for another week! It would be very easy to wait and start tomorrow since I did not do a workout this morning and today is a run day. I don't want to do that either. If anything, I feel like I should ADD yesterday's workout to today's plan! However, I might add that in tomorrow or even Friday when I don't have a run scheduled. It looks like today's workout will take up enough of my evening.
I still need to sit down and look at the workout descriptions on the DVD cases to see what the time frames look like. I will then decide how and where I'll fit them into my day, based on what's going on. I think that at times it's going to be best/easiest to do as much as I can in the morning....Which is not my best workout time. . I like to sleep. I am not a fan of getting up early. BUT... There will be days I'll have to. I have a goal to reach by the end of the year so I'll have to work even when I don't want to. I usually feel better after I do, especially on those days!
On the days that I don't run, I might just block off an hour or more in the evening for a workout, and can sleep in on those mornings. The days that I run though, I will either get up and do my run or a workout and do the other later. Life happens so I'm sure I'll revise things along the way, but I think it's good to have an overall plan to start out.
For example, tomorrow evening I'm going out for Halloween with my cousin and her daughter. This means that I won't have the time to workout after work. I want to workout though, and I need to. So? Depending on the length of the workouts on the schedule, I'll be getting up and doing them in the morning. Tonight will be a longer workout session because I need to run and then have two DVD workouts to do.... Three if I decide to add in last nights (depending on time!). If my DVDs are going to be an hour and the run is 30 minutes, I likely will not do the workout from yesterday. If the DVDs are under an hour, I'll probably do the one from yesterday too.
I suppose since I have a bit of work to do, I should get to it! I'm going to start with a run then do the DVD work. After that it's a shower, dinner, and time to sit down and really look at this plan and come up with what will work best for me. I'm pretty excited to do that and would actually love to start on it now, but my workout is my priority at this point!
Hope your week has been off to a great start!

Cat Management Plan
RSPCA Tasmania welcomes "mixed bag" Cat Management Plan
The new Cat Management Plan released today by the state government – featuring some much-needed reforms and missing some opportunities – is a step in the right direction, says RSPCA Tasmania CEO Peter West.
"RSPCA Tasmania welcomes a number of constructive changes that will positively impact the wider community, primary producers, save more wildlife, and provide a greater focus on tackling feral cats in this state," Mr West says.
"RSPCA supports the decision to actively manage feral cat issues under the auspices of a newly proposed Tasmanian Biosecurity Act.
"However, any control measures must be humane and also integrated with initiatives to maximize the protection of vulnerable birds and animals."
Mr West says RSPCA Tasmania also appreciates that the new Cat Management Act has stronger penalties for cat owners who fail to de-sex or microchip their cats.
"We will continue to encourage the creation and promotion of subsidy programs that could greatly increase opportunities for owners to be responsible, safeguard the welfare of their cat, and avoid these penalties.
However, Mr West says it's an opportunity missed in not doing more with Tasmania's 29 municipal councils to introduce programs to implement cat registrations and confinement.
RSPCA Tasmania recognises that the new plan incorporates many of the recommendations from the Cat Management Reference Group, which included representatives from key stakeholders including RSPCA Tasmania, TFGA, LGAT, cat breeders and welfare organisations, and the AVA. The reference group recommended that the new plan needed to be a mix of action, education and more research.
"RSPCA Tasmania is looking forward to seeing things progress quite quickly now that the plan is in place," Mr West says.
"We have waited a long time to see meaningful movement in this area and we hope that the Government ensures that the new strategy is rolled out in a timely manner.
"As the state with highest per capita pet ownership in Australia it is fitting that we should have a strong plan to tackle the ongoing challenges of both feral and domestic cats including owned and unowned."
As this issue is also a national one RSPCA Australia is inviting comment on an important national Cat Management discussion paper released last week to increase collaboration across the whole of Australia and implement more consistent evidence-based approaches to improving the welfare and management of cats, while minimising adverse impacts.

hi everybody this pictures is so nice i love it
Justin Bieber is so beautiful amazinghe very col and not boring and when l dare to sing and as something good to happen in the words to describe Justin Bieberkisesfernanda
Due to the powerstruggle between the Maoists, the government and the puppets of the King in Nepal, the situation was tense on the streets. Strikes were followed by curfews and the Nepali could not go out of their houses, while we as tourists could wander about.
In any other country the people would protest, likely very violent. And though there were some demonstrations, nothing much happened. You might have seen enormous fights, bombs, gunshots and what have you, but as always the foreign -our- media liked to blow everything out of proportion. The average person on the street was inconvenienced but as always happy. The Nepali are for a large part dependent on tourism and the strikes hit them hard. But few complain and they try to make the best of the situation as always. This girl was waiting at the temple until the curfew was over. If you cannot move anywhere without risking the chance of being arrested or beaten, you might as well be at a nice cool and holy spot. And complaining might seem the best way, but most Nepali know that a smile will get you much further.

General Question
Should doctors in South Africa go on strike?
Asked by walterallenhaxton (888) May 29th, 2009
They make less than bus drivers at 800$ a month.
According to the agreement, bus drivers with more than three years' experience were now earning R8 800 a month, compared to junior doctors, who earn R8 000 after six years of study.

At Last
After too many days of no improvement, we are finally seeing glimmers of the old Delilah we knew and were often irritated by. Funny, how perspectives change, and behaviors that came across as a nuisance when she was overflowing with canine energy can become a celebration after a long series of days of droopy, pained existence.
Delilah has regained a little spring in her step, and has flashed moments of youthful yearning to playfully bite and romp, quickly curtailed with reasonable restraint.
Just hearing her let loose with a full-body shake that flops her ears in the rapid tremolo pounding against her own head is of significance when the sound has been absent for so long.
It is like a fresh ray of sunshine after a long period of rain, which is also an apt description of the day we have been blessed with today.
Hello, fall colors!

Webinar: New Healthy Places Index Available to Assess and Improve the Health of All California Communities
May 22, 2018
On June 14, PHI's Public Health Alliance of Southern California is launching the California Healthy Places Index (HPI)—a powerful new resource that offers actionable data and policy solutions for healthier community conditions statewide. The HPI has been intentionally designed to facilitate exploration of local conditions that predict life expectancy across the State of California, down to the census tract level.
The HPI provides user-friendly scores for each community and detailed data on specific policy action areas that shape our collective health, including economics, education, transportation, housing and more. Beyond data alone, the HPI also contains comprehensive policy guides with specific practical solutions and concrete actions jurisdictions can use to improve community conditions and health.
"I'm so pleased to be offering this valuable and timely resource across California," said Tracy Delaney, PhD, executive director of the Public Health Alliance of Southern California. "It is a thrill to see this incredibly rich Index roll out to people who will bring about important systems and policy changes that will assure healthy community conditions for all."
The HPI is unlike other indices due to its correlation with life expectancy, built-in policy solutions and signature mapping features, which are highly interactive and customizable. The HPI map boasts robust features, allowing users to: view and compare HPI scores and community conditions across multiple geographies; prepare detailed reports with score dashboards, map snapshots, and policy actions; pool HPI data into custom geographies; and more.
"The wealth of data that HPI puts at people's fingertips is extraordinary. From its well-researched asset-based frame of conditions that shape our health, to its depth of detail with granular data, to its accessibility of policy solutions, the Index should be the first stop for everyone working to improve health in California," said PHI President & CEO Mary A. Pittman, DrPH.
To commemorate the official launch of the HPI, the Public Health Alliance of Southern California is hosting a live webinar introducing the Index and interactive mapping tool from 10:00-11:00am (PST) on Thursday, June 14, 2018. Register for the HPI launch event below, or visit http://healthyplacesindex.org/ for a recording of the webinar post-launch along with additional how-to materials.

Price: $95
The Billboard Papers is the fourth book of photography by award-winning screen and stage actor Joel Grey. Twenty-eight full-color photographs of various torn and decaying billboards from the streets of New York resemble paper collages, revealing the strange and unexpected layers of billboards past. Grey's striking photographs are of tapestries of embedded memories—constantly fleeting and subject to change, or demolition, or renewal. The Billboard Papers, designed by Sam Shahid, features an introduction by Grey and a preface by American artist Ross Bleckner. The Billboard Papers is published in a limited edition of 600 numbered copies.

Overview of the Collection
The collections of the University of Iowa (UI) Paleontology Repository comprise over a million specimens, including >25,000 type and referred specimens, cited in >900 publications, of which >7,000 are primary types. They consist of invertebrate, vertebrate, and plant fossils of all geological ages, although more than 90% are Paleozoic marine invertebrates. The collections represent the fifth largest university collection in North America (Allmon and White 2000) and the invertebrate section ranked ninth in North America in overall significance and usefulness (CONARIP 1977).
The Paleontology Repository is the focal point for research and educational activities within the Paleontology Program, and an important source of outreach to the scientific community and the general public. The Paleontology Program is unique in its emphasis on field-based, specimen-oriented research combined with modern quantitative and analytical methods. From 1988-2006 the Paleontology Repository served as the editorial office of the Journal of Paleontology, the most widely distributed paleontological journal in the world and one of two primary journals published by the Paleontological Society. It currently serves as the editorial home of the revised trilobite volumes of the Treatise on Invertebrate Paleontology.
Collection strengths
Cephalopods- With >60,000 cataloged specimens (4,321 types), this is one of the most comprehensive collections of Paleozoic ammonoids ever assembled. Geographic breadth includes Indonesia, Middle Asia, the U.S., Europe, and North America. The collection provides the basis for the cephalopod volumes of the Treatise on Invertebrate Paleontology (Glenister & Furnish 1964, & in prep) and for the definition of Permian boundaries by Subcommissions & Working groups of the International Commission on Stratigraphy (Intern. Union of Geological Sciences) (Glenister et al. 1992). The collection has been cited in over 270 publications e.g. Miller & Furnish 1940; Glenister 1958; Glenister & Furnish 1961, Davis 1972; Spinosa et al. 1975; Manger & Saunders 1980; Frest et al. 1981; Spinosa & Glenister 2000; Glenister et al. 2004; Titus 2000; Work et al. 2000; Work & Boardman 2003; Work & Manger 2002; Work & Mapes 2002; Work & Mason 2003, 2004).
Echinoderms- The Midwest Echinoderm Collection consists of more than 52,000 specimens (3,346 types), from the Carboniferous of Kansas, Illinois, and Missouri and the Paleozoic of Iowa described in >240 publications (e.g., Strimple 1962, 1975; Strimple & Moore 1969, 1971, 1973; Warn & Strimple 1977; Frest & Strimple 1977; Frest et al. 1979; Brower & Strimple 1983; Lewis & Strimple 1990; Brower 1990, 1992a,b, 1994) including the Treatise on Invertebrate Paleontology (Strimple 1978). Currently 219 catalogue numbers are assigned for new types awaiting publication or deposit. Older important collections were donated by Calvin (assembled 1879-1911), Thomas (1922), Slocum & Foerste (1924), Laudon (1933), Laudon & Beane (1937), and Springer (bequeathed a large collection of non-types collected 1860-1925). Four large collections have been added since 2002 (Crossman 2002, 1,300 lots; Priest 2002, 500 lots; C. Strimple 2003 ~1,000 lots; Levorson, 2009, ~2,000 lots). Material previously donated by these collectors has yielded 17 holotypes (Brower 1992a, b, 1994, 1995, 1997, 1999, 2001, Brower & Strimple 1983, Frest & Strimple 1982, Kolata 1986, Kolata et al. 1977, Strimple 1976). The Crossman, Levorson, and Gerk collections are superbly documented with detailed stratigraphic logs and locality data. Excel spreadsheet inventories are available here for:
Conodonts- The conodonts include over two million specimens (5,419 types) collected by W.M. Furnish and G. Klapper with NSF support in the Ordovician through Pennsylvanian of North America, Europe (France), and Australia from 1938-1998 (e.g., Ethington 1959; Ethington & Furnish 1959, 1962; Klapper 1966, 1971, 1989, 1990, 1997a, b; Klapper & Murphy 1975; Klapper & Johnson 1980; Klapper & Lane 1989; Klapper & Foster 1993; Klapper et al. 1995; Becker et al. 1989; Metzger 1989; Day, 1990; Over 1992; Ritter & Baesmann 1991). The collection provides the basis for the "Catalog of Conodonts" (Klapper et al. 1977; Klapper et al. 1991), the conodont volume of the Treatise on Invertebrate Paleontology (Klapper 1981), and the definition of Devonian boundaries by Subcommissions & Working groups of the International Commission on Stratigraphy (Klapper et al. 1994; Chernykh & Ritter 1997). In 1998, BP AMOCO transferred its entire conodont collection of 20,000 slides from 1339 Paleozoic localities in the U.S., Europe, Russia, the Middle East, and Central and South America, making the UI collection one of the largest held by a university. The collection, along with digitized hard copy data will be available on-line from March 2010.
Fusulinids- The fusulinid collection is one of the largest single collections of its kind, and the UI was designated by the Paleontological Society as one of four approved U.S. repositories for fusulinid types. It includes: (a) the M.L Thompson collection of fusulinids, including >15,000 glass slides, and > 3,500 type and referred specimens (Thompson 1948, 1954; Groves 1984, 1986, 1987, 1988; Douglass & Nestell 1984; Brenckle and Groves 1986; Groves & Boardman, 1999; Groves & Wahlman 1997), and (b) the Bissell collection of 7500 glass slides (specimens cited in theses from Brigham Young Univ. (Marshall 1969; Robinson Jr. 1961; Wright 1961; Slade 1961; Hodgkinson 1961).
Corals- The Neogene scleractinian coral collection consists of ~12,000 specimens (641 types) collected over the past 20 years by Prof. A.F. Budd as part of NSF funded research (most recently EAR-9219138, EAR97-25273, EAR-0445789) in the Caribbean (Costa Rica, Jamaica, Curaçao, Dominican Republic, Bahamas) and Europe (France, Austria, Bulgaria). The material is described in four monographs (Foster 1986, 1987; Budd 1991, Budd & Johnson 1999a) and two edited volumes (Jackson et al. 1996a; Nehm & Budd 2008), and also serves as the basis for >35 articles since 1994 (e.g., Budd 2000; Budd et al. 1994, 1995, 1996a-b, 1998, 1999; Budd & Johnson 1996, 1997, 1999b, 2001; Budd & Klaus 2001; Budd & Manfrino 2001; Budd & McNeill 1998; Budd & Pandolfi 2004; Budd & Smith 2005; Budd & Stolarski 2009; Budd & Wallace 2008; Collins et al. 1996; Denniston et al. 2008; Fukami et al. 2004a-b, 2008; Getty et al. 2001; Holcomb et al. 2004; Jackson et al. 1996b; Johnson et al. 1995, 2008; Johnson & Budd, 1996; Klaus & Budd 2003; Klaus et al. 2007; McNeill et al. 1997, 1999, 2000). Also included are >2,000 specimens of Recent agariciids and faviids collected in Panama and Belize as part of Ph.D. dissertations by Stemann (1991) and Johnson (1991).
The Paleozoic coral collection consists of >2,000 specimens collected by Calvin (1879-1911), Belanski (1920s) and Stainbrook (1940-1950), 509 which are types (Calvin 1893; Easton 1944; Ladd 1929; Thomas 1917; Stainbrook 1940, 1946; Sorauf 1974, 1998; Edwards 1988; Webb 1993). The collection was assessed and reorganized under NSF grant DBI-0096768 and curated, catalogued, and made available on-line under NSF grant DBI-0544235.
Trilobites - The trilobite collections, totaling ~10,000 specimens, are derived mostly from Prof. Jonathan Adrain's research program and include ~2,000 type specimens from a series of systematic papers and monographs funded by NSF grants EAR 9973065, EAR 0308685, and DEB 0716065. Material is from the Cambrian and Ordovician of Nevada, Utah, and Idaho, and serves as the foundation for global revisions of major trilobite groups, as well as documenting a plethora of newly discovered taxa (Adrain & Westrop, 2004, 2006a, 2006b, 2006c, 2007a, 2007b, in press; Adrain et al., 2008, in press - a, in press - b; McAdams & Adrain, in press - a, in press - b; Westrop & Adrain, in press), and establishing a new biostratigraphic zonation for the Lower Ordovician of North American (Adrain et al., in press - a). Iowa is also the editorial home for the revision of the trilobite volumes of the Treatise on Invertebrate Paleontology (Adrain, 2008). The collections have also provided much of the primary data for studies addressing broader paleobiological questions involving diversity through time (Adrain & Westrop 2000; Westrop & Adrain 2001), habitat occupancy (Westrop & Adrain 1998; Adrain et al. 2000), and mass extinctions.
Brachiopods- The brachiopods consist of >10,000 specimens and 2,295 types studied by Wang (1949), Stainbrook (1945), and Belanski (1928a,b,c). The non-type brachiopod collection is mostly uncatalogued, but has been sorted and organized. Recent studies (Day 1989; Day & Copper 1998; Rogers & Pitrat 1987; Lescinsky 1995, 1997; Ma & Day, 2007) are based on the Belanski and Stainbrook material and Day has added new specimens from Iowa, New Mexico and Canada.
Large Mammals- The large mammal collection contains ~500 Pleistocene-age specimens described by Calvin (1909), Hay (1914), and Clement (1932, UI unpubl. thesis), and ~1,000 Holocene-age specimens. Bison bones from local peat bogs and archaeological sites comprise the bulk of the Holocene material (Whittaker 1998). Since 2001 the Paleontology Repository has collaborated with the UI Museum of Natural History and Emeritus Professor Semken on the Tarkio Valley Giant Ground Sloth Project. Material from four sloths (Megalonyx jeffersoni and Paramylodon harlani) have been acquired to date.
Micromammals- This collection contains more than 60,000 specimens from >50 paleontological and archaeological sites in Iowa and the Midwest, making it amongst the largest in the world (Semken 1974, 1980, 1984; Anderson & Semken 1980; Shutler et al. 1980; Falk & Semken 1990; Folk & Semken, 1991; Semken & Falk 1991; Semken & Graham 1996; Stafford & Semken, 1990). The material was collected primarily by graduate students and has served as the basis for >20 theses and dissertations (e.g., Croft & Semken 1994; Foley 1984; Jenkins & Semken 1972; Rhodes 1984; Davis 1987; Jans 1993, Benton 1999). The faunas from all Quaternary sites are included in FAUNMAP, a comprehensive database documenting the Late Quaternary distribution of mammalian species in the U.S. (FAUNMAP 1996; Semken 1994). Part of the collection was made available on line under NSF grant DBI-0544235.
Supplemental data for Semken, JR., H. A., Graham, R. W., Stafford, Jr., T. W. AMS 14C analysis of Late Pleistocene non-analog faunal components from 21 cave deposits in southeastern North America. Submitted to Quaternary International: The following sites (Supplemental Data File 2), which supplied specimens for AMS 14C analysis support a paper submitted by Semken, Graham and Stafford to Quaternary International, are described to provide more comprehensive information on the sites from which the AMS-dated specimens selected for analysis. The localities are organized into three geographic regions (1) the Appalachians, (2) the Allegheny plateau west of the Appalachians and (3) the Ozark Plateau of the central United States. Although Stafford et al., (1999) review the dates on the lower levels of Peccary Cave and the Creek Bend Cave samples, 70 of the 121 dates (Tables 1, 2, 3 and 4) from the project are reported here for the first time. All dates, chemical processes, and stratigraphic associations, etc., are tabulated in Supplemental Data File 1.
Paleobotany- The paleobotany collection encompasses an incredible diversity of specimens from 2 billion year old microscopic algae, to seeds and pollen from Ice Age flowering plants. Particularly important collections are (a) Cretaceous cycadeoids collected by Macbride in 1894, including two holotype specimens; (b) the F. O. Thompson collection of >1,000 Mazon Creek nodules; (c) a significant collection of coal balls from now inaccessible sites in Iowa (Urbandale, Shuler, What Cheer); (d) Iowa Carboniferous compression floras; and (e) ~500 Dakota Sandstone specimens collected by Sternberg. The collections form the basis of several publications (Brotzman & Schabilion 1971-2; Mapes & Schabilion 1979a.b; Reihman & Schabilion, 1976,a,b, 1978, 1985; Schabilion 1975, Schabilion & Brotzman 1979; Schabilion & Reihman 1985, Ward, 1899, Wieland, 1906, 1916). The pollen and plant macrofossils from >25 Quaternary sites in Iowa , other Midwestern, and Rocky Mountain sites have been used for paleoecological interpretations (e.g., Van Zant 1979; Van Zant & Hallberg 1976; Baker 1976, 1983, 2000; Baker et al. 1980, 1989, 1990, 1992, 1993a,b, 1995, 1996, 1998, 1999, 2000, 2001, 2002,,2005, 2006, 2009; Baker & Van Zant 1980; Bettis et al. 1990; Chumbley et al. 1990; Garry et al. 1990; Rogers et al., 1992; Baker & Drake 1994; Zhu & Baker 1995; Denniston et al., 1999a-c). The collection is important because it preserves material from an interval of time (the last 1 million years) that has not been previously well documented in North America. Also present are Paleozoic and Mesozoic palynologic samples (~1,500 slides) from Iowa coals (Ravn 1979, 1983; Ravn & Witzke 1995). The Paleontology Repository houses two important reference collections used in Quaternary studies: (1) ~1,250 slides of modern pollen from mainly midwestern and Rocky Mountain taxa; (2) ~3,000 specimen boxes of seeds, fruits, and other plant parts from taxa from the same regions. Both collections are used in identifying fossil specimens; the latter collection is thought to be the largest in the Midwest.
Stratigraphic and taxonomic collections from Iowa formationsUnique segments of the collection include: Calvin Coll. (1874-1911; Calvin 1878; White 1880); Belanski Coll. (1925-1929, Devonian; Strimple & Levorson 1969); Ladd & Kay Coll. (1920s, Ordovician); Thomas Coll. (1920-1930, Paleozoic; Walter 1923); Laudon Coll. (1930s and 1975, Mississippian); Stainbrook Coll. (1940s, Devonian); Fitzpatrick Coll. (1890s, Devonian); Orr Coll.(1950s, Ordovician); Van Tuyl Coll. (1920s, Mississippian); Levorson, Gerk, Crossman, and Gossman (1960-1990s; Ordovician, Mississippian); Walsh Coll. (2008, Silurian, Iowa) and Paleozoic fish (Eastman 1907).
Other important stratigraphic and taxonomic collections Several collections of predominantly non-Iowan material are under-utilized because they are incompletely cataloged [e.g., Springer Collection (1920) Paleozoic echinoderms; AMOCO Production Co. Florida Bay samples (assembled from 1965-1985, Holocene invertebrates of South Florida, Bahamas Platform and Caribbean); Guest thesis material, Cretaceous-Pliocene, Mississippi] or because they are inaccessible [e.g., Strimple Collection (1930-1980) Midcontinent Paleozoic echinoderms; Nutting and University Expedition Collections (1890-1922; Calvin 1892; Caribbean Neogene and Recent); Shimek (assembled 1878-1936; Quaternary non-marine molluscs; Frest 1981, 1982; Frest & Dickson 1986)]. Several studies using Univ. Iowa specimens not covered in the above categories have been published recently (e.g., gastropods- Rohr 1992; Day 1987; arthropods- Hesselbo 1993, Feist & Petersen 1995; conulariids- Van Iten 1991, 1992a,b; Van Iten et al. 1992).

Value of the collection for scientific research and resource management
Degree and range of use over the past five years: In the past 5 years, approximately 91 visits to the Paleontology Repository were made by scientists and students who studied the collections, totaling 415 visitor days. A breakdown of visits per fossil group is shown in Table 1. In addition, 101 visitors (excluding school groups), brought in objects to be identified, toured the collections, completed school projects and work experience, and consulted the Collections Manager for specimens for teaching and display. Sixty-five specimen loans were made to researchers, totaling >5,643 specimens (Table 1). The collections have formed the basis of eleven MS and PhD theses by UI students since 2000.
Research impact over past 5 years: Publications citing SUI specimens have almost doubled in the past 5 years (66 compared with 35 in the preceding 5 years) including: Acta Palaeontologica Polonica (1); Actazoologica (1); Bulletin of the American Museum of Natural History (1); Bulletins of American Paleontology (2); Canadian Journal of Earth Science (2); Geological Journal (1); Geological Magazine (1); Geology (1); Journal of Foraminiferal Research (1); Journal of Mammalogy (1); Journal of Paleontology (26); Journal of Vertebrate Paleontology (1); Memoirs of the Queensland Museum (1); Palaeogeography, Palaeoclimatology, Palaeoecology (1); Palaeontology (1); Palaois (2); Paleobiology (1); Paleoworld (2).

Rate of growth over past 5 years: Since 2004, >10,847 specimens have been deposited; ~3,000 by amateur collectors (excluding the Rhodes Bequest 2008, of 25 bulk samples of unprocessed sediment from a micromammal site), 5,400 by UI researchers, >600 by UI students, and >1,847 by researchers at other institutions. Of these specimens, 3,377 were assigned catalogue numbers in preparation for scientific publication. The Levorson Collection (2009, Midwest crinoids) and the Walsh Collection (2008-2009, new Iowa Silurian soft-bodied fauna which is to be the basis of a future research project) are typical of the large unorganized, un-curated collections bequeathed by late amateur fossil collectors, that are untapped resources of great research potential. The University of Missouri-Columbia conodont collection (8,500 specimens) will be transferred to the Paleontology Repository in 2011, fully curated and catalogued to our requirements under NSF grant DBI-0546549 to Missouri-Columbia.

Great Plains Studies, Center for
Review of Diaspora in the Countryside: Two Mennonite Communities and Mid~Twentieth~Century Rural Disjuncture. By Royden Loewen
Date of this Version
Fall 2008
Great Plains Quarterly Volume 28, Number 4, Fall 2008, pp. 333-34.
Copyright 2008 by the Center for Great Plains Studies, University of Nebraska-Lincoln.
Royden Loewen's recent book displays all the insights and delicious ironies we have come to expect from him. In this study, Loewen compares the Kleine Gemeinde Mennonites of the Rural Municipality of Hanover, Manitoba, with those of Meade, Kansas, during a time of dramatic change in rural life. Loewen begins with an analysis of what historian John L. Shover termed "the Great Disjuncture" itself, the fragmentation and scattering between the 1930s and 1980s of a once unified rural society, followed by a chapter focusing more specifically on the environment: the image of the snowdrift for Manitoba and the dust bowl for Kansas. The third chapter traces the development of a middle class in both locations. Loewen shifts his focus dramatically for the next two chapters to the radical divergence of religious sensibilities in both places. His analysis of the influence of North American evangelicalism on the Kleine Gemeinde suggests that it provided continuity with their earlier religious understanding and a bridge to being more like their non-Mennonite neighbors. For the most conservative of their number who would seek out the jungles of Belize, the evangelicalism of Canada spurred them to remember an earlier golden age in Manitoba but to reinvent conservative traditions thousands of kilometers away.
The next two chapters concentrate on gender in both locations, but use a feminine Kansas and a masculine Manitoba as the venues of analysis. Here Loewen reads his sources carefully to tell us about the changes the rural disjuncture brought to notions of gender. Finally, he turns his attention to the diaspora of the Kleine Gemeinde more specifically. One chapter seeks out the Kleine Gemeinde of Spanish Lookout, Belize, while the other observes the Kleine Gemeinde Mennonites who ended up in the cities of Winnipeg and Denver.

Now we know that recycling is a great thing. But it is best when you can make it into something useful. I've had several people ask about how I made my cereal box dresser organizer (look here). So I thought a tutorial would be in order. So here we go.
First you'll need some cereal boxes, or any other recyclable items.
Cover your boxes in contact paper of your choice.
Draw the shape of your cut. You'll use this pattern on both sides.
See how it looks when it is finished. =)
Here is the top. This can be cut again and used as another piece for the organizer.
This is the top of the cake box. I'm going to use it to create a rectangular container.
Slice on both sides of the cake box top.
Fan it out like this.
Fold it to the center and tuck it inside.
Glue the sides down and cut your box to the size you would like.
Cover your paper towel roll in contact paper. Cut it down to about an inch shorter than the pencil.
And Voila!!! Isn't it lovely.
See it is functional...and it was free!!!! Lovely!
See! It was so easy. And I totally used my hot glue gun!!!

went to the cupboard
and discovered she owned dessicated gonads.
My antenna waved Danger! as soon as I heard the tone of the nurse's voice down the phone: even over the bustle of the RSC foyer and Harry's grief-stricken howls (we had just discovered you need to book a timed ticket to go up the tower, and he had been Promised An Immediate Ascent) I could clearly hear that she was projecting enough Cheerful for two; I swiftly deduced that she anticipated I was about to be in deficit.
(AMH testing is Clever-Shiny-New fertility science, and they've recently changed methodology to a 2nd generation assay giving values 40% higher than previously. Keep Calm and multiply by 1.4 if your previous happy AMH level suddenly looks wide of the goal posts.)
Ovarian Fertility Potential pmol/L (Not ng/ml, which'd be helluva lot lower.)
High Level > 67.9
Optimal Fertility 40.04 – 67.9
Satisfactory Fertility 21.98 – 40.03
Low Fertility 3.08 – 21.97
Very Low / Undetectable 0.0 – 3.07
I scraped a 20. Distinctly and saddeningly sub-optimal, but not quite fully disintegrated into oocytical dust in the coffins of my ovaries, either.
I… wasn't expecting bad news. Alive to the possibility, yes, but my Autumn 2009 FSH & E2 were – I quote my Consultant – 'beautiful', and I felt reassured. Once I'd got my head around the difference between US & UK lab units of measurement, that is. John had been blithely complacent (the man is a congenital optimist, even appertaining to my haphazard reproductive abilities) that I had the ovaries of a nubile teenager, and has had to mentally regroup accordingly.
Ah, well. It's been a while since I felt really slugged in the stomach. They do say a change is as good as a rest.
Of course, my previous poor response to gonadotrophins now looks completely divorced from the possibility of a still-stunned pituitary after a shitty downreg, and simply looks like common-or-garden Rapidly Emptying Ovaries instead. And the shortened cycle I was crowing over last night might credibly be the dark horseman of the Menopause galloping towards me, waving his scythe, with hot flushes spilling from his saddlebags.
Damn it.
My Consultant has altered my protocol still further on receipt of this glad news and has now prescribed me Gonal F instead of Menopur: I'm not sure why & absolutely can't be arsed to Google it; the woman knows her business. 300iu for 10 days pro tem, and we'll see what we get.
Another day older and deeper in debt. Sources of Gonal F are, naturellement, more circumscribed than Menopur, although I have managed, after a few phone calls involving Far Too Many Fucking Zeros to get a quote that just squeaks in at under £700, so the cost differential isn't as Implicationy as I first thought it might be.
If nothing else, this news has made me feel a little more exculpated for already having chosen IVF over IUI – and exonerated altogether for wanting medical reproductive input this time around.
I know it only takes one egg, but we've got to find the bugger first.

G8 heads of state around the summit table.
First hand account of today's peaceful Greenpeace action. And
here's some vide of it:
Traditionally,this sort of thing is smoothed over beforehand.
However, this timegovernments kept fighting publicly until this
afternoon. In the end,the divisions got papered over with rhetoric.
Most likely thepoliticians feel quite satisfied at having avoided a
publicdisagreement. But the differences remain obvious for all to
see.The final document agreed by the G8 also contains a promise
that allleaders will "seriously consider" the binding emission cuts
the EU andalmost all G8 members have committed to. In other words,
Bush willwatch, while the rest of the world, hopefully, acts.
Thedeal is "clearly not enough to prevent dangerous climate
change" saidDaniel Mittler, climate policy advisor of Greenpeace
International atthe summit. "Governments failed to commit to what
science tells us isnecessary here. They must now urgently do so at
the United Nations."
Whatthese leaders, of the world's wealthiest nations, fail to
take intoaccount is that reducing CO2 emissions by 50 percent,
compared to 1990levels, by 2050 is not a negotiable diplomatic
point - it is a physicalreality. And, as we've already learned from
the last 15 years,voluntary measures simply don't work.
Politics aside, the G8 areresponsible for over 80 percent of the
climate change we witness today,and still emit over 40 percent of
all global emissions. They aretherefore morally bound to act first
and act firmly.
Silver lining in a cloudy sky
Theisolation of the US on climate change was at least further
exposedthrough this whole process - leaving the Bush Administration
scramblingfor diversionary tactics.
Today's document also confirms thatthe United Nations Framework
Convention on Climate Change is the bestway forward, which sets
back Bush's plan for a US controlled parallelprocess. This means,
that the road is clear for real negotiations onbinding emission
cuts to start in earnest at the next climate meetingin Bali in
December this year.
Though as Greenpeace UK directorJohn Sauven pointed out,
"Scientists tell us we need to slash emissionsover the next decade
if we're to have a chance of preventing dangerousclimate change.
This document acknowledges the seriousness of thesituation then
ducks reality by offering weasel words like 'seriouslyconsidering',
as if this was an after dinner discussion rather than themost
important issue facing the world."
Into the exclusion zone
Tensof thousands of people have been peacefully protesting these
past days,both at Heiligendamm and at an alternative summit -
trying to get themessage through to the G8 that the time to act is
Yesterday,German police pre-emptively boarded our ship, the
Arctic Sunrise - eventhough it was well outside the summit's
exclusion zone. The police cameon without a search warrant and
confined the 24 crew before seizingGreenpeace equipment including
engines from inflatables, making theboats unusable, and the hull of
a Greenpeace hot air balloon.
Thismorning, 24 Greenpeace activists, using 11 speedboats took
the message"G8: Act Now!" to the waters around the beachfront
summit hotel. Theyentered the outer restricted area at 11am,
informing the police as theydid so. They came in from both east and
west sides, entering into theinner restricted zone 10 minutes
Police boats ran oversome of the Greenpeace boats - injuring six
activists and sendingseveral to the hospital. Fortunately, no one
suffered more than severebruising. The activists were trying to
deliver a petition calling forclear commitments on climate
At last report, the boats and 19 activists were in police
Thenext major UN Climate Conference will be in Bali, Indonesia,
December2007. Governments there must commit to the reductions that
sciencerequires, to stop catastrophic climate change.
