^^ Page is headed "Womb with a View: Labor inside an MRI Scanner Reveals the Mechanics of Childbirth" and has three smallish jpeg images of an MRI scan made during childbirth.
The first line of the article is "In 2010 a woman in Germany became the first person to give birth inside a magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) scanner. The results, published May 2 in European Radiology, provide an extraordinary view of what exactly happens as a baby moves through the birth canal."

Thanks for looking Cornflake. Will give it a miss, sounds icky enough to stick.. So to speak. Lol that reads worse than it is

Dr. Watson and Sherlock Holmes's dog Gladstone was named after the British PM.

Fudo stuff, as well as the thirteen Buddhas, go-dai Myoo and hachi-dai Myoo. Fudo is sometimes depicted with attendants, servants, though he is himself a servant. There are a few and sources are unfortunately inconsistent but the two most common are Seitaka and Kongara. Seitaka actually comes from Sanskrit cetaka meaning servant, think it might mean crane or bird or somethingin Japanese. Dunno about kongara. Sadly can't post pics as I have a great one of this particular trinity. Plus like fudo the depiction is symbolic and quite interesting as the two attendants often appear as opposites one peaceful and one wrathful.. Seitaka should be the wrathful one but even here some sources differ. Probably not as fascinating to others, granted.

Who or what the f**k is this?

Here is something quite interesting:

Rather lost my nerve seeing the comments for the vid, but it did indeed seem quite interesting. Thanks.

Also, I should apologise to joe90, was quite rude. Sorry about that. There's kinda a reason, not personal I hasten to add, but I have no excuse.

for those people hoping to save money by ditching their cable subscription and receiving their tv reception via terrestrial broadcast, remember this- the Advanced Compatible TV system [digital HDTV] that america uses is insufficiently robust to deliver reliable [consistently strong] signal to anybody more than 20 miles distant from the transmitter tower, on average, unless said people take extraordinary measures to insure reception. unlike the old NTSC analog system [which was very robust and would receive very weak but usable signals, albeit with noise] the digital system lives up to its name by being either "ON" [receivable at all] or "OFF" [not receivable unless one has exceptionally powerful reception equipment]. for consistent reception out past 20 miles [IOW no drop-outs] the typical HDTV ACTV tuner requires very strong signal strength compared with an older NTSC tuner. i live 50 miles from the nearest broadcast antenna tower, and to receive any usable signal at all, i had to get an antenna guy to climb a tree about a hundred feet up, and erect a "deep fringe" "flyswatter" high-VHF/UHF antenna [most ACTV HDTV broadcasters in america use UHF frequencies] precisely aimed at the weakest [lowest elevation] cluster of north puget sound TV broadcast antennas, boost this weak signal with an inline signal amplifier, use a sensitive ACTV tuner [thankfully my sony set's tuner is very sensitive] and hope for the best. thankfully after all that trouble, i get all the primary puget sound stations in ok, 'cept for 9 [KCTS seattle] which drops out sometimes- a tv guy told me that its broadcast tower is only 150' high, in downtown seattle which means the antenna is partially blocked [in the southern direction, south of which is where i live] by KOMO-4's taller broadcast tower. lousy planning, if ya ask me.

Over here I think they're about ready to switch the terrestrial signal off for good.. Though i'm not really sure. Seems a waste not to use it.

That said, I don't really watch TV, but have now found I can use tvcatchup.com on my phone for free live TV. Sorted

The tvcatchup thing is just online, I think I could get local news though it used to be set to London as default. Technically shouldn't be entirely free because if I'm not mistaken I should be paying TV licence if I can receive live TV.
Might be able to fool the site with a proxy server and get it over there. I think most people here have either "freeview" which is all BBC channels terrestrial and a few more like 30 or so. You pay for the box thing and then it's free or they have sky or Virgin something which is just like sky or cable. Also, thanks to the efforts of youtube uploaders like nick from Fulham pretty much all BBC shows end up being available. BBC has no ads/commercials as such either which is great.

Health insurance sounds like a real pain. No pun intended.

Wrote my first kanji in years today. Was scruffy and not quite correct, even if viewed as scruffy. Still, wasn't so terrible. Last time I attempted anything it was the two symbols for kung fu/gongfu.. That's not kanji that's Chinese, I hear them say.. True, but do you really know what kanji means?

Also, Britain is more than one country..
