Following are some of the more frequently asked women's health issue questions and answers from our on-line health chat archives.
Q: I have been getting the Depo Provera shots for two years now, and will not be getting another one as my husband and I are going to try to have a baby. How long does it take for the Depo to get out of my system? How long before I could conceivably become pregnant?
A: Dr. Bradley: Depo Provera is an excellent method of birth control. Usually, the method will be effective for 12-16 weeks. However, it is not uncommon have the effects on the menstrual cycle for 6 -18 months following the last injection. If you are planning for pregnancy soon, I would recommend that you stop the Depo Provera shots soon.
Q: How young can a girl safely go on birth control pills, when being used to help regulate her period? How long can she stay on it?
A: Dr. Natalie Bowersox: At the risk of sounding vague-that depends! I have had patients as young as 13 on a birth control pill to manage their periods. There is not a time limit of how long it is "safe" to be on birth control pills. I usually tell patients that they should stay on the pill until their symptoms are controlled or until they do not need it anymore.
Q: Any new contraceptives on the market?
A: Dr. Linda_Bradley: Mirena® (progesterone only intrauterine contraception - IUC) have gained renewed interest by physicians and marketing (commercials.) It is very safe method of contraception, inserted by a health care professional in the office and provides 5 years of hassle free contraception. Additional benefits include very light menstrual cycles, decreased menstrual cramps and 99.9% pregnancy avoidance. It is reversible. The other newer contraception is Implanon®, a single rod is inserted in the arm and provides 3 years of contraception. There are also 2 new sterilization procedures that do not require incisions on the abdomen. They are performed with a hysteroscope (Essure® and Adiana® procedures.) The Adriana procedure was just released July 6, 2009. These two sterilization procedures take less than 20 min. to perform in the office by a qualified gynecologist.
Q: Regarding the new sterilization procedures, how do they work to prevent pregnancy?
A: Dr. Linda_Bradley: Both sterilization procedures block the fallopian tubes. The Essure® procedure utilizes a metal coil with a matrix embedded that will block the fallopian tube. The Adiana® device utilizes heat plus a matrix that blocks the tube. Both require a confirmation test - HSG (hysterosalpingogram) 3 months after hysteroscopic sterilization. Patients must use a contraceptive method for 3 months after the procedure until the HSG confirms tubal occlusion.
Q: Is it common for IUD removal to delay normally-regular cycles? If so, are there an average number of cycles it takes to return to normal?
A: Dr. Linda Bradley: There are two types of IUD's currently available. One is the copper IUD which usually when removed results in regular menstrual cycle. The progesterone IUD may require 2-3 months before re-establishing normal menses. However, again, if you are perimenopausal periods may skip. Also you need to check for pregnancy if your IUD has been removed and your periods have not returned to normal.
Q: Two years ago I had a breast reduction (Size Double I to B). They had to remove my nipples and put them back on. During the healing process, they were black and it was unsure if they would take. After about 3 weeks they were turning pink. Now, I am getting a smelly discharge from them. Is this normal, or does it indicate a problem?
A: Dr. Bradley: Any discharge from the breast related or even unrelated to surgical procedures should always be evaluated. Is it normal? There are very few reasons for having a discharge i.e. recent breast feeding or recent surgery less than six months. It is recommended to see your doctor for an examination and additional testing.
Q: What are the current recommendations for breast cancer screening?
A: Dr. Devorah Wieder: Monthly self-exams have been under fire lately, but the truth is, most women find breast lumps themselves. The best time to examine your breasts is after your menstrual cycle is finished. Have your breasts examined by a healthcare provider at least once every three years after age 20, and every year after age 40. Have a baseline mammogram at 35 if there is a family history of breast cancer, and a screening mammogram every year after 40 in all women.
Q: My GYN doctor has mentioned I have some small fibroids but they are not clinically significant. If they begin to grow or cause problems, what type of symptoms will they cause?
A: Dr. Linda Bradley: Fibroids are found in 50-80% of women. Luckily, most women have no symptoms. Most common symptoms can be change in menstrual bleeding (intensity, quantity & duration), cramps, infertility and cosmetic effects (markedly enlarged abdomen). And urinary frequency, constipation and pelvic pain. As you can imagine there are many conditions that can mimic fibroid related symptoms. It is best to check with your doctor to determine if the fibroid are a culprit for symptoms. We do not endorse therapies such as hysterectomy or fibroid removal when patients are asymptomatic. We believe "if fibroids do not bother you, we do not bother them."
Q: I have two children (both delivered vaginally). The last birth required the use of forceps and now I have a mild rectocele and have difficulty with incontinence (mostly urine, sometimes stool). What types of treatment are available to help with this?
A: Dr. Megan_Tarr: The mild rectocele and the fecal incontinence may or may not be related. I would advise that you seek consultation from a pelvic reconstructive surgeon. Many times, fecal incontinence can improve with dietary manipulations and medications. Fixing the rectocele may help reduce the stool trapping and reduce the sensation that a bulge is present.
Q: My husband and I have been trying to get pregnant for well over a year. I am concerned that we may have a problem. What is our next step?
A: Dr. Julie Tan: Difficulty conceiving a child is not uncommon. There are millions of couples each year that are unable to become pregnant without medical assistance. Infertility is generally defined as not conceiving after one year of unprotected intercourse. At this point, couples may benefit from an infertility evaluation. Standard testing done by our Cleveland Clinic fertility specialists includes some blood work for hormone level, a hysterosalpingogram (HSG) to evaluate the uterine cavity and document that the fallopian tubes are open, and ,for your husband, a semen analysis to assess the number and quality of the sperm. The HSG is performed in the X-ray department by injecting X-ray dye through the cervix while observing on a TV monitor. Additional tests may be recommended by fertility specialists based on the individual patients' history, physical examination and the results of previous testing. These may include additional blood work, ultrasound of the uterus and ovaries or laparoscopy.
Q: What is a desired range of progesterone levels for pregnancy to occur?
A: Dr Cynthia Austin: I assume that you are asking how high a woman's progesterone should be during the second half of her cycle. The answer is that there is no right level. Progesterone levels rise and fall throughout the day so measuring the level does not tell us if there is enough progesterone. If your progesterone level is checked, it is either in the post-ovulatory range or it is not (indicating that you did not ovulate). The more important issue is how long your cycle is between ovulation and the onset of your next period. It should be 12 to 14 days.
Q: Does taking birth control pills for a long time have an effect on fertility? How about the Depo-Provera® (medroxyprogesterone) shot?
A: Dr Cynthia Austin: Birth control pills do not cause infertility. In some cases, women may ovulate best when they first stop taking birth control pills. Women who have irregular periods and go on birth control medications to regulate their cycle often have the same irregular cycles when they come off. If a woman is having irregular cycles, she is either not ovulating or not ovulating regularly. Depo-Provera is an injection of synthetic progesterone. It does not damage fertility, but it can take a long time for it to wear off. If a woman was given Depo-Provera to treat irregular bleeding, she will probably have that same problem when it wears off.
Q: What vitamins/herbal supplements if any do you recommend for women experiencing conditions such as endometriosis and diminished ovarian reserve (DOR)?
A: Dr Cynthia Austin: All women attempting pregnancy should take vitamins containing 400 mcg of folic acid. Unfortunately, herbal supplements do not improve either endometriosis or DOR. Some herbal supplements may contain estrogen, which you would not want to be taking in addition to fertility medications.
Q: I have been temping during my treatments still to help detect ovulation. I am on Clomid now. Does Clomid mess with your temperatures during use?
A: Dr Cynthia Austin: Have your doctor or nurse take a look at your charts. If you are having regular cycles on Clomid you are almost certainly ovulating. Temperature charts are not perfect, but at least they are free.
Q: Is there any possibility of becoming pregnant if the female has one blocked fallopian tube? If so, what is the percentage rate?
A: Dr Cynthia Austin: Women with one normal functioning tube usually get pregnant almost as well as other women. In other words, if a normal fertile woman has one tube removed, she usually does not have trouble becoming pregnant. If a woman having difficulty becoming pregnant has one blocked tube, it may suggest that the other tube, while not blocked, is also damaged.
Q: What foods do you recommend to be filling, low in calories and nutritious?
A: Dr. Margaret_McKenzie: Oh those vegetables – fibrous: brussel sprouts, cabbage, sweet peppers, romaine lettuce, onions, radishes, beets. Eat veggies with every meal and yes have all veggie days weekly. Get creative with flavors to help keep them not being so boring and try various prep methods such as stir fry, raw, broil after marinating, etc. Remember when we do raw we tend to add dressings, so stick with low calorie ones. (Note I did not say low fat.)
Q: What advise can you offer someone who is extremely overweight that mostly eats proteins, fruits & veggies (pretty much lives on salads and vegetables) that cannot exercise except in a pool due to other health conditions?
A: Dr. Margaret_McKenzie: Limit the number of fruits per day to 2 - 1 in the morning 1 hour after breakfast and 1 hour after lunch. Make it a hard chew: apple, pear etc. Stay away from high sugar fruits like mandarin oranges, grapes, cherries, watermelon etc. as we tend to over eat them.
Q: Can you please talk about the safety of the HPV vaccine? My daughter (who is 14) has gotten the first shot. A coworker told me the she didn't want her daughter (who is 12) to have it because of safety reason. I am now rethinking my decision.
A: Dr. Linda_Bradley: The HPV vaccine represents one of the greatest bench to bedside breakthroughs for women. Just think about it - we have eradicated Polio, chicken pox, measles, mumps and rubella infections all with a vaccine. We now know that cervical cancer is caused by a HPV virus. This vaccination helps prevent cervical cancer. While there are minor aches, pains, redness in the inoculated area, major safety issues have not been raised.
Q: Is there any relation between chronic cervicitis and HPV?
A: Dr. Linda_Bradley: Chronic cervicitis is a non-specific finding on PAP smears. If it coexists with a vaginitis (bacterial vaginosis, yeast, trich) then cervicitis may be noted. However, if there are no vaginal complaints, the HPV virus is not present and there are no cervical lesions then we ignore these findings.
Q: I have had a cone biopsy for dysplasia. Would that be from HPV?
A: Dr. Linda_Bradley: Most causes of dysplasia are due to the HPV virus. It is only recently that we have been able to test for the presence of the HPV virus. If you have had a cone biopsy (or LEEP procedure) then make sure that you get PAP smears regularly as well as HPV testing.
Q: Is there value to testing for HPV in the absence of any clinical findings?
A: Dr. Linda_Bradley: Yes - the current recommendation is to begin HPV testing at age 30 years when the traditional PAP is performed. HPV is very common. Approximately 50-70% of women will acquire an HPV infection during her lifetime. For most women, the virus clears up.
HPV testing is done until 65-70 years unless sexually active.
Q: After having a hysterectomy in 2001, I sometimes experience the same symptoms as before (abdominal pain, swelling, nausea). If the hysterectomy was done to eliminate the possibility of getting cysts and tumors again, what could be happening to me? Can they actually come back after a hysterectomy?
A: Dr. Bradley: A hysterectomy only removes the uterus and cervix. This is called a partial hysterectomy. Your ovaries are left intact and still function. Therefore, some women after a hysterectomy will still have PMS-like physical and emotional symptoms such as bloating, abdominal pain, swelling, nausea and mood swings. Luckily, there are medicines for PMS. See your physician. The reason for not removing the ovaries is that they serve a vital function. The ovaries make estrogen. Currently most gynecologists do not remove the ovaries until age 55 if a hysterectomy is needed. Premature removal of the ovaries often causes lower estrogen levels leading to hot flashes, night sweats, decreased libido, increased risk of osteoporosis and other menopause related symptoms.
Q: How can I know if the menstruation pain is because I have tumors or ovarian (cysts)?
A: Dr. Bradley: Most women have menstrual pain (cramps) with menstrual cycles. If the pain is not easily relieved with other the counter (OTC) meds like Aleve, Motrin or Tylenol ... or if you are unable to participate in work, travel, hobbies, sports... then you should see your physician. There are many reasons for more significant menstrual pain such as fibroids, endometriosis or ovarian cysts. A physical examination and ultrasound might be required to determine the cause of the menstrual pain.
Q: My daughter is 18 and she has strong pain every month. The doctor had said she probably has some (cysts) in her ovaries. Can this be true if she is very young?
A: Dr. Bradley: Yes. Beginning with the onset of menstruation until menopause, ovarian cysts are made monthly. This is normal. Cysts are usually not cancerous and are small. When they enlarge more than 5 centimeters doctors may advise birth control pills and a repeat transvaginal ultrasound to determine if the cyst resolves. Although normal, many women do make cysts. Frequently, physicians will recommend low dose birth control pills (BCP's) to suppress the formation of cysts. Luckily, 90% of women who take BCP's will favorably respond and have decreased pain. Often a combination of BCP's and OTC products (Aleve, Motrin, and Tylenol) will relieve the menstrual cramps or pain.
Q: Is it normal to experience rectal pain during your menstrual cycle? This is the only time the pain occurs, and is sharp shooting pain and usually never lasts longer than 10 seconds... it's also more frequent when I need to release bowels.
A: Dr. Bradley: Rectal pain may be normal however endometriosis can also be the cause of rectal pain during menses. See your physician for a physical examination, including a rectal exam would be important. The physician will be checking for rectal nodules, tenderness and rectal masses. An ultrasound may also be ordered to determine the presence of masses.
Q: When does menopause typically begin and how do you know you are in menopause?
A: Dr. Bradley: The definition of menopause is the absence of menstruation for 12 consecutive months. The average is 51 years; however by age 51 only 80% of women have stopped their periods. By age 55, 95% of women have stopped their periods. By age 58, 100% of women should stop menses. Please note that 1% of women at age 40 have stopped their periods and 10% by age 45. Our bodies are not like a light bulb. Menopause does not 'just happen.' But a 'gradual change' will occur. This time is termed Perimenopause. Premenopausal changes (hot flashes, night sweats, vaginal dryness, and menstrual irregularities) do occur 7-10 years before menstruation completely stops.
Q: Vaginal estrogen did not help painful vaginal dryness. HRT helps, but I have been on it for 10 years. Are there any other choices?
A: Dr. Bradley: There are three ways to take vaginal estrogen (vaginal creams, vaginal rings or vaginal tablets.) I would recommend switching from whatever product you are currently using to another product. Sometimes it is trial and error to determine which product will work best for you. In addition, an OTC (Over-the-Counter) vaginal moisturizer (without estrogen) will help to hydrate the vaginal tissue in combination with a vaginal estrogen product may improve symptoms. However, please note that up to 30% of women will still require a systemic (oral or patch) estrogen to improve symptoms. Unfortunately, for some women topical products will not be enough. Some OTC products include Replens, Astroglide, Lubrin or WET.
Q: Is Fibromyalgia part of the menopause symptoms??
A: Dr. Bradley: Some patients during menopause will experience muscle aches and joint stiffness. Fibromyalgia has many additional symptoms that are unrelated to menopause. Only your physician can differentiate between menopause and Fibromyalgia related symptoms.
Q: What other factors might you contribute to a person averaging eating 1300 calories per day that weighs in excess of 350#?
A: Dr. Margaret_McKenzie: Slow metabolism! Just not consuming enough calories, you will be starving at this low caloric intake and then you will overeat at the next meal. Also, how much fiber is in those 1300 calories? The more the better! Ask for help from a doctor and nutritionist, who usually treat weight challenged patients and they can help you figure this out.
Q: I've heard horror stories about women having problems with the synthetic mesh used in many sling procedures. How common are mesh problems?
A: Dr. Megan_Tarr: This is a very important topic in pelvic reconstructive surgery. The concern is mainly focusing on synthetic meshes that are placed vaginally for prolapse repair. The recent reports focus on the high rates of the mesh coming through the vaginal wall over time, resulting in pain with sex and vaginal discharge/bleeding. These particular uses of synthetic mesh should be differentiated from the midurethral tapes (or slings) that are used to treat stress incontinence. These have a much lower risk profile and are used as the first line of treatment for stress incontinence by most practitioners. In addition, vaginally placed mesh for prolapse repair should also be differentiated from abdominally placed meshes for prolapse repair.
Q: What types of diagnostic tests are needed to determine if someone has a 'dropped bladder' or other organ? Can it be done without an MRI?
A: Dr. Megan Tarr: A simple office exam by a physician experienced in treating pelvic organ prolapse is usually sufficient to diagnose prolapse ("dropped bladder"). Oftentimes, we will do a standing exam, as the prolapse is largest when you are able to bear down with the assistance of gravity.
Q: I have uterus prolapse; will I also need to have a bladder lift? If yes, is it common to have these procedures done at the same time?
A: Dr. Megan Tarr: This question is best answered with an analogy. Think of the vagina as a sock suspended inside your pelvis by various support ligament. Prolapse occurs when there is a loss of support of the vagina. Consequently, there are several structures that prolapse simultaneously. Most commonly, the very top or apex of the vagina (or cervix in women with a uterus) loses support, and the front wall (where the bladder is located) and the back wall (where the rectum is located) follow. Consequently, many prolapse surgeries focus on fitting these multiple sites where pelvic floor support has been lost.
Q: I have vaginal prolapse, no incontinence (yet). My OB/GYN is aware but seems unconcerned. I am 72. I have had it for about three years. Are there exercises that can help?
A: Dr. Megan Tarr: Prolapse can be watched over time, as it may or may not progress. Non-surgical treatments usually involve a pessary. Pelvic floor physical therapy can help prolapse symptoms, especially if there is a mild degree of prolapse and one's doctor notes pelvic floor muscle tenderness upon exam.
Q: I go regularly, every year, for my pap test and everything is fine. My doctor suggested that I have a sonogram, a procedure that inserts into you a camera to check your ovaries. He said it might show something that doesn't show up in a regular pap. Is that something you would recommend to have done when no problems are evident?
A: Dr. Bradley: I would recommend that you follow the instructions for an ultrasound as requested by your physician. The ultrasound can check for the size of the uterus and the presence of fibroids or ovarian cysts. Ultrasound is not a routine test at a check-up. It is usually requested if the physician is concerned about a mass in the pelvis or to evaluate pain in the abdomen. The PAP test only screens for precancerous tissues and cancer of the cervix.
These are two completely different tests that assess the health of the female pelvic organs.
Q: At what age can you stop getting PAP tests?
A: Dr. Bradley: Women should begin PAP tests within 3 years of sexual activity. If someone is not sexually active, PAP tests should begin by age 21. The current recommendation for interval screening is an annual PAP test for 3 years. If negative, the test is done every 3 years. The cause of cervical cancer is due to the HPV virus. In addition to the PAP test, physicians are also checking for the presence of the HPV virus. Therefore, when the PAP and HPV tests are negative ("double negative PAP smear") the every 3 year interval is advisable. If a woman has the presence of HPV, the annual PAP tests are advised. If you have had a hysterectomy and removal of your cervix for a non- cervical reason, then you do not need to have a PAP test again. Currently we stop screening at age 65 if all the PAP tests have been normal. However, if you are over 65 and began with a new sexual partner or resumed sexual activity, I would recommend continuation of screening as described above.
Q: Can you get a STD from oral sex? For instance - if one person has a fever blister? Or - if a person has an STD, is oral sex still okay?
A: Dr. Linda Bradley: Yes - STD's may be transmitted orally during oral/anal sex - including GC (gonorrhea), Chlamydia, Herpes and Hepatitis. If there are blisters or ulcers or any lesions present, you should abstain from this activity.
Q: At times, bumps arise on my private areas (vagina, butt, between legs). They are like abscesses. They are filled with pus and blood, and are very painful. They are large in circumference, and don't get any better until they are drained. What are these bumps called, why are they present, and what can be done about them?
A: Dr. Bradley: The 'private areas' have oil glands and hair follicles. Believe it or not, these areas can develop acne. Very often, these small abscesses are due to inflamed hair follicles or oil glands. This could also be seen in the underarm area and beneath the breast. It can also be seen in men who have beards. This is called folliculitis. In general a dermatologist can evaluate the skin area. They might advise antibiotics or ointments to the affected area. Other treatments may also be needed. This is an easy problem for dermatologists to fix.
Q: One week after a spinal, I experienced slight incontinence with coughing. If nerve was injured or affected, what can be done? Years later, I now have frequent urinary leakage beginning.
A: Dr. Bradley: This is most likely a coincidence, but is unrelated. There are many causes of frequent urination including diabetes, urinary tract infection (UTI), too much caffeine or water. A very common cause of urinary frequency is due to an overactive bladder. There are tests (urodynamics) that can be ordered by your gynecologist. These tests are very easy and help determine the cause of frequent urination. Additionally, daily medication may also decrease urinary frequency and urgency.
Q: What can I do to get a full night sleep? I am up 4 or more times going to the bathroom every night.
A: Dr. Natalie_Bowersox: I would make an appointment to see your physician. Getting up that many times during the night can be due to many reasons ranging from pregnancy to drinking too much fluid in the evening, to issues with bladder control.
Q: After my third child, I now have issues with urinary incontinence. More so, I have to go to the bathroom all the time. I will go, and then ten to twenty minutes later I have to go again. When I do go, there is not a lot of volume, which I would expect the opposite to be true? I have tried doing the Kegel exercises, but they don't seem to work. What else can I do?
A: Dr. Natalie_Bowersox: I think this would be a great time to discuss this with your gyn. Some of us do treat incontinence or they may refer you to a urogynecologist (a GYN with additional training in urologic problems) to evaluate your concerns. Sometimes medications can help treat the symptoms that you are experiencing and can make a big difference.
Q: When I go to the bathroom, I almost always have to urinate again within about 10 minutes. Does this mean I am not fully emptying my bladder the first time? What can I do about this? It is very annoying; especially when I am going somewhere, have a meeting at work, etc.
A: Dr. Megan_Tarr: Urinary urgency without incontinence is often best approached with the use of vaginal pelvic floor physical therapy and behavioral therapy. Many times, women with urinary urgency feel that they are not completely emptying their bladder. After it is assured that a woman is completely emptying her bladder, it is important to assess how much she is drinking during the day and to make sure that she does not have a urinary tract infection. With proper training through physical therapy, women can often gradually prolong their intervals between voiding, as some of this becomes a behavioral issue.
Q: Do you have any suggestions to help a woman empty her bladder completely when urinating?
A: Dr. Megan_Tarr: In order to answer this question, I would have to know why you feel that your bladder is not emptying completely. If it is due to a past incontinence surgery, you may find that sitting backwards on a toilet or attempting to relax your pelvic floor muscles while urinating may be helpful. Sometimes, a specialized pelvic floor physical therapist can teach you how to train your pelvic floor muscles to relax more completely during voiding. Alternatively, if you have pelvic organ prolapse, you can simply reduce the prolapse bulge with your fingers and more fully empty your bladder.
Q: I am 52 and prone to urinary tract infections. What can I do decrease/stop getting them?
A: Dr .Megan_Tarr: When women have recurrent urinary tract infections, it is very important to obtain urine specimens for culture at each doctor visit. This tells us if the urinary infection is cleared with antibiotic treatment or if it is a persistent infection with the same/different organisms. After reviewing the causative organism, some physicians will initiate women on daily suppressive antibiotic therapy for several months at a time. It is also important to make sure that the woman is emptying her bladder well. In addition, foreign bodies in the urinary tract, such as stones or mesh from a past pelvic surgery can also harbor microbes and result in recurrent urinary tract infections.
Q: How are stress incontinence and overactive bladder different?
A: Dr. Megan_Tarr: Stress incontinence refers to urine leakage that occurs with an elevation of intra-abdominal pressure (during coughing, sneezing, lifting, or laughing). Urge incontinence is urine leakage that occurs after one feels an "urge" to urinate. Many women have symptoms of both. As urogynecologists, we like to differentiate them because they are treated differently.
Q:: At what point should I seek the advice of my doctor? I am 50 and have to wear pads every day due to urinary leakage. I am annoyed with the problem!
A: Dr. Megan_Tarr: Although urinary incontinence is more common as women age, it should not be considered a "normal" part of aging. Feel free to seek a consultation for this issue at any time in your life. If it is bothersome to you, please seek treatment.
Q: Does atrial fibrillation contribute to frequent urination? Will slowing the heart rate reduce the urges?
A: Dr. Megan_Tarr: This is a bit of a complex question. The atrial fibrillation may be causing the heart to excrete atrial natriuretic peptide (which often occurs in sleep apnea), which will ultimately cause the kidneys to excrete more urine. This may then cause you to urinate more frequently, due to the increased urine production. There are many complex hemodynamic changes that occur with cardiac function and the medications used to treat cardiac issues, so it is not certain that treatment of the atrial fibrillation will improve your urinary symptoms.
Q: I have three children that were born naturally. I now have some incontinence, but mostly very frequent urination. I have been told that pregnancy can cause this. How is this? I know that therapy can help with the incontinence, but can it also help with the frequent urination?
A: Dr. Megan_Tarr: Urinary urgency is best helped with pelvic floor physical therapy. These specialized therapists do myofascial release (just like when you have a back massage) and help retrain the muscles to both relax and contract when you need them to do so. We believe that urinary urgency is often due to spasm of the pelvic floor muscles, and your brain cannot discern this spasm from urinary urgency.
Q: I am a 36 year old woman. Due to ovarian cysts, fibroid tumors, excessive bleeding, pain, and troubled pregnancies, I had a hysterectomy back in 2001. This past weekend, after sex, I experienced pain in the lower abdomen, followed by a dark brown vaginal discharge. I know this is usually the body cleansing itself of dead blood, but with me having had a hysterectomy, what could this have been? It has cleared up now, but do I still need to go see a doctor?
A: Dr. Bradley: It is not normal to have vaginal bleeding after a hysterectomy. Sometimes bleeding may be due to endometriosis that can still occur after a hysterectomy because you still have your ovaries. I would advise that you see your gynecologist for a physical examination to determine if there are any vaginal infections, or scar tissue or an ovarian cyst. It is likely that a more comprehensive evaluation with a transvaginal ultrasound will be needed.
Q: It seems like I am puffy - water weight. Does 'water weight' really make a difference and how can I get it off without medications.
A: Dr. Margaret_McKenzie: Water weight typically happens just before our period and is related to one of the hormones we make that cause us to retain. Consuming high sugar and high sodium foods also make us retain. Limiting sodium intake and switching to birth control pills to turn off those hormones are the only 2 things I know that helps. Many of my patients gain up to 5 lbs per month during this part of the cycle and plateau on weight loss programs during this week of the month. Knowing it will happen can help you keep your mind focused so you don't cheat if you perceive you are failing on your weight loss program. It usually resolves after the cycle. If it persists after, check with your doctor to see if any medical condition is contributing to this persistent water weight gain.If you are menopausal and your sodium intake is ok please check with your doctor to make sure no other medical condition exists.
Q: When a person loses weight fast, someone always says - 'Oh, that's just water weight.' What exactly does this mean and is this true?
A: Dr. Margaret McKenzie: Initially, when you first limit your calories, we tend to see most of the weight we lose is related to water weight just by cutting back. When you start exercising, this slows down and you may tend to even plateau or gain weight as you breakdown fat and build muscle.
Q: The older I get the harder it is to lose or even maintain my weight, what can I do?
A: Dr. Margaret McKenzie: This is expected as we have 3 things working against us: our genes (what family members look like as they age), our habits (the poor food choices or portion sizes we have gotten used to) and our slowing metabolic rate (we can't use up food fast enough and so our bodies store the excess calories). So our approach has to be 3 fold: if you have family members with weight issues (we all have), pay attention and note that this will be your tendency, so start with good habits early. Secondly, we can no longer have the luxury of eating anything we want. We have to make choices about the number of calories we consume daily, and how and when we consume carbs as well as the amount of fat we consume. Thirdly we have to move. Tailored regular exercise helps us to use up excess calories and stop the storage. Once we lose the weight we have to then stick to an approach or program to keep it off. This is the hardest part, so getting a good support system like friends and family to verbally keep you on track when you are regaining, cheating etc., will help you stay on target. Journaling and paying attention to EVERYTHING you consume daily is very helpful as well as making exercise like brushing your teeth: first thing in the morning and don't leave home without doing it! Keeping track daily also helps me: I simply pinch my waist skin daily and so can keep track effortlessly of if I am gaining there again. Weighing every day initially helps as well, until you get your hands around keeping the weight off long term. Old rule: "balance what goes in (our mouth) with what you work off (exercise off)" - still is true. Helpful website: Sparkpeople (I have no ties)
Q: I have hit a plateau with my weight loss - but I still need to take off at least 20 lbs. I am eating right, exercising etc. How can I get jump started again? I am getting discouraged.
A: Dr. Margaret_McKenzie: Don't get discouraged! Kudos for losing so much! Plateaus mean we need to tweak something else. Usually it is carb consumption at the wrong time or hidden sugars in your food. Carbs are best consumed by noon as we slow down the rate at which we consume them as the day progresses. True for every human alive. Also, this may be the time to introduce interval training thus mixing up your workout as your body is good at adapting to the same old workouts and meal patterns. Here is where your doctor can help you! We could help with appetite suppressants and this can sometimes help. But don't give up. It is just time to re-analyze and reset new targets and patterns of eating and exercise.
Q: I am menopausal and my waist line is thickening. It is harder to lose weight especially when I crave nothing but sweets. I am staying away from them and eating healthy - but why at this age is it so much harder?
A: Dr. Margaret_McKenzie: For the same reasons that we have been chatting about. Our metabolism simply slows down! Removing simple carbs from the diet removes the craving. See South Beach- he has a good program to help overcome the cravings. (no ties)
Q: It seems really hard losing weight since menopause. Any suggestions?
A: Dr. Margaret_McKenzie: Menopause is a time of slowing of our metabolism, both for reasons related to hormones and also aging. The best approach is to anticipate that you too will be a victim of this slowing metabolism and start a solid balanced exercise program, such as walking 45 -60 minutes daily and strength training 1 or 2 days a week. We can no longer consume the same amount of food and the calorie dense foods we used to, without storing them, so modification is important. Check with a good nutritionist to help you plan for this inevitable change in all our lives.
Q: Is it true that women gain weight after a hysterectomy? Does is matter whether or not you take hormone replacement therapy (HRT)?
A: Dr. Margaret_McKenzie: Only if the ovaries are removed at the same time, as you become postmenopausal instantly and your metabolism starts to slow down. Anticipate this and work out and mind the caloric intake and you can avoid it!

Many shoppers will research purchases and buy via their tablets and smartphones.
Thad Rueter
More U.S. consumers will shop online this year for Easter gifts than was the case last year, with 21.1% planning to visit web merchants, compared with 18.7% in 2012, according to a new report from the National Retail Federation.
Overall, 15.1% of respondents plan to spend more this Easter, which takes place on March 31, than last year's holiday. 19.9% plan to spend less this year, with the remainder, 65.0%, planning to spend the same.
Total Easter-related retail spending this year will reach $17.20 billion, the trade group predicts, up 2.7% from last year's estimate of $16.75 billion. Consumers will spend an average of $145.13 this year on such products as candy, other food, apparel and decorations, nearly the same as last year, the National Retail Federation says.
"With a plethora of budgetary concerns already on their plates, Americans this Easter will look for special, creative ways to celebrate the holiday without breaking the bank," says NRF president and CEO Matthew Shay. "And as spring weather rolls in, consumers will find affordable ways to spruce up their homes and wardrobes, just in time for visiting family and friends this Easter holiday."
The trade group based its findings on an online survey of 5,050 consumers conducted by BigInsight between March 5 and March 11.
The survey found that 56.6% of respondents own a smartphone. Of those, at least 14.8% plan to use those devices to buy Easter items, with 25.9% expecting to use the phones to research products and compare prices. 19.6% of respondents with smartphones, meanwhile, plan to use them to look up such information as retail store hours and location.
34.7% of survey respondents report owning tablets. Of those consumers, at least 22.1% say they will use the devices for Easter-related purchases, with 34.0% planning to conduct product research and price comparisons. 20.7% will use their tablets to look up retail store information.
Respondents with mobile devices were asked to list all the activities they would use them for during the Easter shopping season. Those responses also include:
• 13.9% of tablet owners who say they will use apps to research or buy items; 10.7% of smartphones owners say the same.
• 16.3% of tablet owners who say they will redeem coupons via their devices; 16.9% of smartphones owners say the same thing.

Hooyman scored 22 for SCC
The Shoreline Community College women's basketball team beat Edmonds Community College on Monday night in the SCC gym by the score of 65-59 to break an 11 game losing streak.
SCC was down 29-26 at half-time, but stayed close during the second half, as both teams could not find a consistent offense. Kylie Williams scored 28 for the Lady Dolphins, as she took control of the game in the later stages, hitting 8 of 10 free throws down the stretch. Gnanamani Hooyman added 12 for SCC before going down with and ankle injury late in the games.
SCC is now 6-16 on the season, 2-12 in the NWAACC Northern Region. The Dolphins play their last home game of the season on Wednesday night in the SCC Gym at 5:30 PM, in the athletic homecoming game. SCC will face Peninsula College. Edmonds drops to 10-12 overall and 6-8 in the region.
Kylie Williams scored 28for the Lady Dolphins
The Lady Dolphin losing streak continues as SCC lost to Northern Region leader Skagit Valley College 85-53 on Saturday afternoon in the SCC Gym, to extend their losing streak to 9 games. SCC started the year off 5-5 and 1-1 in the region, but have not won game since starting forward Lynsey Sandum broke her ankle 9 games ago.
Tess Cathey led the Dolphins with 17 points, Jenny Voss added 13 and Gnanamani Hooyman scored 12.
The Lady Cardinals push out to a 52-24 lead at half-time, as Dolphins only shot 28% on the half against 49% for Skagit. SCC played a much better second half, being outscored only 33-29.

While the party continues for the Irish on St Patrick's Day, we have sat down and settled on our Six Nations Team of the Championship.
While the party continues for Ireland on St Patrick's Day, we have sat down and settled on our Six Nations Team of the Championship.
It wasn't easy and there is an omission set to ruffle feathers, but we settled on a team that includes five Irishmen and seven English.
So without further ado, here is our XV.
Six Nations Team of the Championship
15 Mike Brown (England): He topped the tournament's try-scoring chart, made metres (543), beat defenders for fun during the five rounds. Brown has now cemented his place at full-back in this team, with Alex Goode and Ben Foden now a good distance away from the Quin. He leaves nothing in the tank every time he steps out on to the pitch for club and country and deserves all the plaudits that come his way.
14 Yoann Huget (France): Harsh to leave out Andrew Trimble after a workmanlike championship under Joe Schmidt that saw him given a good run in the side. But there was one Frenchman who stood out from a disappointing bunch over February and March and that was Huget. The Toulouse finisher scored three tries – two of which being key against England and Scotland – as he gets the nod in our side. Munster beware in April.
13 Luther Burrell (England): We're not a sentimental bunch here at PR HQ and that has led to Brian O'Driscoll missing out. While he was Man of the Match in his last two outings – the one in France possibly debatable – we just thought Burrell was the most consistent 13 in the competition. Three tries to his name and he should've got more had he not been replaced in Rome. Definitely has his feet under the Test table.
12 Jamie Roberts (Wales): An initial mention for Billy Twelvetrees, who was excellent for England in a new-look midfield partnership. However, Roberts' devastating running was on show yet again as he stood out for Wales alongside Scott Williams, George North and Jonathan Davies.
11 George North (Wales): Far from Wales' best tournament, but North finished with three tries (more than any other left winger in the championship) and was a constant threat out wide when Wales managed to bring him into play. Questions over the lack of variety in Wales tactics will continue to rage on but there can be no doubting the 21-year-old's talent – more importantly, he's still only 21? One of the world's best, who stood out easily compared to Dave Kearney and Jonny May.
10 Jonathan Sexton (Ireland): Lifting the Six Nations trophy in the very city you play your club rugby could make for an uncomfortable welcome back to Racing Métro duty for Sexton. He won't care about that though as he enjoyed a personal championship that saw him top both the try and points charts. Next in line for this spot was England fly-half Owen Farrell, who is coming of age in the white jersey. Both were superb.
9 Danny Care (England): Stuart Lancaster has his nine and ten for the Rugby World Cup. There is a sprightly new edge to this English XV and Care has been the catalyst to that speed, having seemingly been given the right to keep the tempo high. His try against Wales set the tone in round four and he has been strong throughout, seeing off Conor Murray for this jersey. Lancaster's confidence in him really is paying off.
8 Jamie Heaslip (Ireland): Has been head and shoulders above his rivals for this position. Heaslip played every minute of the Irish's Six Nations campaign and rarely put a foot wrong. He sees off David Denton of Scotland, who went well when given opportunities.
7 Chris Henry (Ireland): Ireland needn't have worried about replacing Sean O'Brien. Calls have been made for some time to include Henry in Ireland's back-row and he repaid that faith handsomely. His try against Wales set Ireland on their way to their most impressive win of the tournament, while he was part of the choke tackle at the death in Paris that secured the title. It's no coincidence to see him involved in two huge moments for Ireland such as those. With O'Mahony, O'Brien, Tommy O'Donnell, Jordi Murphy and Rhys Ruddock all in contention in the back-row to name a few, Ireland have great depth. A mention for England captain Chris Robshaw – it was fitting that the skipper scored England's final try of championship after regularly topping the carrying and tackling stats throughout.
6 Tom Wood (England): England's quiet presence on the blindside exudes leadership and works tirelessly. A preferred option at the lineout, Wood also made 54 tackles and his carrying abilities for Stuart Lancaster are priceless. More importantly should England ever lose Chris Robshaw to injury, then they have a ready-made leader sat next to him in Wood. Dan Lydiate misses out despite making an impressive 66 tackles out of 66, but his penalty count against Ireland stuck on the mind. Peter O'Mahony and Yannick Nyanga are others who while both outstanding in the opening two matches both faded away through injury.
5 Courtney Lawes (England): One part of the standout lock partnership of the Six Nations, Lawes is another to have come of age in recent months as mistakes in his early career have been replaced by a consistent, mature and intelligent style of lock play. Lawes and Joe Launchbury got through a heap of work for England and were excellent in the set-piece, with Lawes taking plenty of line-out ball from the opposition throw. A word too for Italy's Joshua Furno who looks like a star for the future.
4 Joe Launchbury (England): Launchbury keeps producing for England at the tender age of 22. In such a young English team, he's arguably become a senior player quicker than expected but is taking on the challenge alongside Lawes as the locks go from strength to strength. He made several turnovers in the tournament. A mention also for Ireland's Devin Toner and also Italy's Quintin Geldenhuys, who was the top tackler (70).
3 Mike Ross (Ireland): At a time where quality tightheads are firstly rare beasts in world rugby, and secondly worth their considerable weight in gold, Ireland have a hefty prize in Ross. He hasn't always impressed supporters across the Emerald Isle, but the Leinsterman has adapted well to the new engagement protocols at scrum-time, and enjoyed a formidable Six Nations in the tight. And while a prop's bread and butter remains the scrummage, it is important the big men up front get about the pitch and do their share of the work in open play, an area in which Ross is really improving. A mention too for David Wilson, who as one of Europe's top exponents of the tweaked engagement, eschewed fears over Dan Cole's injury absence.
2 Dylan Hartley (England): Hartley enjoyed probably his best Six Nations to date after a tempestuous end to last season. His

dle 30cc v2 fit in a baby edge ? Do you have to cut the fire wall out?
got any pic or build threads? cant find anything!
need help!
Come guys !! Has know one bild a baby edge with a dle30 v2 motor!!!!!!
Dle 30 rear carb fits perfectly in the baby edge, this is what the plane was designed for. All of the documentation uses a DLE-30 as its basis.
Just ordered my first gas airplane and i decided on a baby edge with every thing to get to fly .I have a DLE 30cc v2 motor and a spectrum ar8000 for the plane.
Thanks Tom!
Its here and it looks great and the ups man didnt kill it!!!!!!! Thanks Tom
It looks like they tried real hard to shorten the box.
Iwas just glad it was double boxed! I still got to buy a few other thats andthen I can start building!
I will keep everybody updated on the build with alot of pic !
Tom the plane looks great and looks like it will be a great flying plane!
Got the gas tank done and saved about 12 grams and got 6 more oz! Still waiting on parts ! ill keep you post on my progress
Be careful with that cute tank setup. I saw a guy at a contest who had to completely rebuild his carb and miss a round of the competition because he didn't take the liner inside the cap of the bottle out before he built a similar tank. The gas eventually ate into the wax/paper/plastic liner enough to turn it into small enough pieces to foul up his fuel filter, carb, etc... Several flameouts, hesitations and general engine maladies later, he figured it out. Much fun was had cleaning it all out as you can imagine. Anyway, just a word of warning.
slsmith please make sure to use tygon fuel line on a gas engin it is yellow
thank for the warning about the the fuel tank but the fuji bottle does not have a rubber lining in it . Iam just waiting on the fuel barbs before I put the yellow tubing on It. Should get all the parts to start on it this week or next.
Back on the original question. I have the baby Edge with a MLD-28 and it flies great. I honestly believe the DLE-30 woudl be even better 'cause I think it has a bit more power. I can't imagine you won't be happy with this combo. It's about as good a flying plane in this size range as I've ever seen.
jsallade what was the final weight of the plane ? Does it have a good vertical climb and pull out of a hover with out a problem ?
This is my first gas airplane a bubby of mine is going to help me put it together and are whole club has open their doors for advice and help.
Just ready to fly it . the guy at the field have let me fly some 50cc plane to show me how different it is then my elecric stuff.
Still going to fly my eletric stuff around the house and at our park flying feild. Thank for all the help along the way!
I believe it weighs just a few ounces over 10lbs... though I have a CF main landing fear on the way that may take it back down to 10 even. As I recall, at the present weight it will pull straight up out of a hover... Not rocket out but will pull straight up. I think with the 30 you will have a bit more pull than I do with my 28 (not just the difference in cubes, the 30 is just has a bit more thrust in it). It won't fly as well as my 88" WH Edge (with DLE-55) of course but it flies as well as anything in it's size range. It is capable of a good IMAC basic pattern, perhaps even sportsman and seems like it would be a capable 3D bird if I was so inclined.
Everything isIN and now it time to build a 30cc wildhare edge!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
We will be building this weekend!
ill take some pic during the build!
Unpacked everything and then we started to seal up all the wood on firewall and inside were the fuel cell will be. We just used some thin ca and a plastic bag to spread it around.
Then we started on drilling the holes for the dle 30 and found out that you need to grind or cut some of the bottom of the template . This way it sits flat on the firwall.!
Then we bolted up the dle 30 the template is right the money !
Then we start to cut on the cowling. I will be using a pitts muffler and we had to cut of 1.5 to 2 inches off of the down pipes. Thisis so we didnt have to cut the cowling ring.
It fits great and the motor is in the just right spot and the clerance for spinner is right on the money. You will need to twist it on and pull on were the spark plug is or just remove it!
Nexted was to putting in the ignition mode in.It will not fit on the side of the firewall So we put it on the back side of th firewall and the we marked the fire wall for the throttle and fuel lines would go.
This is were the direction tell you to turn the carb over a 180 degrees .We found out this is for the trottle arm is at the bottom and not the top. This make it easier to put on servo rod.Then we hooked up a rod for the choke and put the fuelline on . Put the cowling back on to make sure the the rod will be the right length. then we put the fuel cell in it and hooked everything up.
[size=1]This is my first gasser and I was looking for a thread like this before I bought my plane, but I went ahead and bought the complete outfit from Tom at Wild Hare and just finished getting it all together. This will not be a continuing build, just sharing some of my experiences so far with those folks who are interested in this model. Unfortunately it may be a month or two before I get to fly if it ever stops snowing.
The package comes with a Dubro 10 oz. fuel tank which seemed to me to be on the small side. However the guys at the field assured me that I would get 20 minutes flying time on the DLE-30 with this tank. I found that the Tygon tubing was too stiff to allow the clunk to move around freely. I used neoprene instead (Tower LXD735).
It also came with an A123 battery. At first I wasnât going to use the battery for two reasons. First I was uncomfortable with powering the ignition from the same battery as the receiver because of interference concerns. Second, I didnât want to invest in a new charger. However the more I investigated A123 batteries I became convinced that this was the way to go â especially on a 30cc airplane. FMA Direct has a charger for under $30 (Cellpro 4S)`[link]http://www.fmadirect.com/products.htm?cat=89&nid=72[/link] Tech Aero http://www.tech-aero.net/ultra-ibec sell an IBEC that functions as a kill switch, ignition battery eliminator, RF filter and voltage regulator all in one package. So that is what I purchased and installed. I would not advise going directly to the ignition with the A123 battery.
A word about the included hardware. The clevises are very stout, but I modified them by removing the metric screw and replacing it with a 2-56 screw. I also tapped the ends for 4-40 connecting rods. I didnât use the supplied rods since I donât care for Z-bends on a plane this large. I used Dubro 4-40 swivel ball links (Tower LXD916) on the servos. I also used Dubro heavy duty arms (Tower LXD670) on the servos. For the rudder servo I used an MPI aluminum arm. All linkages are very tight with absolutely no binding or slop.
I added a small bracket on the side of the motor box and fitted it with a couple of pieces of Nyrod sleeve to enable me to tune the engine without having to remove the cowl.
Control is with an Airtronics RDS 8000 transmitter and receiver.
Elevator â Two Hitec HS-5485 servos (separate channels)
Aileron - Two Hitec HS-5485 servos
Rudder â Hitec HS-645 servo
Throttle â Hitec HS-425 servo
I used the supplied tailwheel but Iâm not too crazy about it. At present I have it set up to freewheel. Any suggestions would be welcome.
The next step will be to balance it and run the engine. The manual that comes with the engine leaves a lot to be desired. I found this document to be far more helpful.
More pictures
couple more pics
Just wanted to know what size of fuel tank?what did it weight?
10 oz. fuel tank. No idea what it weighs, not important.
I think the weight is one of the most important thing if you going to fly 3d or just want to fly a good flying airplane!
Bottom line is the size of the tank isn't going to change much, maybe a couple ounces at most. The plane is drastically overpowered anyways, a few extra ounces will not hurt anything.

Retailers like GrandSt.com offer it as a low-cost alternative to credit cards.
Paul Demery
GrandSt.com launched last December as a web-only retailer of high-tech games and gadgets like hydrogen-fuel-cell-powered model cars and online board games designed with interactive Bluetooth-enabled dice. With that kind of line-up for tech-savvy shoppers, it also wanted to offer a new kind of online payment option, co-founder Amanda Peyton says.
"We were really interested in emerging systems to create the best experience around purchasing new technology devices," she says. "As a brand, we stand for innovative products, so supporting innovation across our whole business, including the online payments, was important to us."
In addition to paying with credit and debit cards, customers on GrandSt.com can also pay with Dwolla Credit, a new online payment service launched this week by Dwolla Corp. that operates outside of established payment card networks like Visa, MasterCard and American Express.
Steve Mott, who operates the payment consulting firm BetterBuyDesign, says that, by avoiding the fees charged by established payment card networks Dwolla Credit appears to be offering merchants "the first meaningful change in 20th Century business models for payment transactions, bringing the payment industry into the 21st Century."
Dwolla Corp. operates with its own payment network, but until this week it only offered consumers the option of making online and mobile payments with a stored-value account that consumers typically load with funds from a bank account. GrandSt.com is one of about 40 merchants offering Dwolla Credit as a payment option under a beta program. Dwolla plans to make the credit program generally available early next year.
Dwolla Credit lets consumers carry a balance as with any credit card, but without using a plastic card, says Alex Traub, the company's head of business development. The credit service is being underwritten by Comenity Capital Bank, which is a banking subsidiary of Alliance Data Retail Services.
To complete a payment with Dwolla Credit, users take the same steps as with the Dwolla stored-value option: they enter a user name, password and a four-digit personal identification number.
Unlike with payment card networks, however, merchants do not pay Dwolla network transaction fees, which typically run 2% to 3% of transaction value through traditional credit card networks. Dwolla charges a flat fee of 25 cents for each payment transaction valued at $10 or more. It charges no fees for transactions valued at less than $10, and it charges no set-up fees.
While it's a good deal for merchants, Dwolla Credit can be costly for consumers who do not pay off their balances right by the monthly due date. Consumers pay interest on outstanding balances, and 24.99% is a typical rate, says a spokeswoman for Comenity Capital Bank, which will underwrite the credit option. She notes the annual percentage rate varies with each Dwolla Credit account. Account holders are also charged a $35 late fee if they don't make a minimum payment by their monthly due date. By comparison, the national average across the United States for credit card annual percentage rates as of Oct. 24 was 15.03%, with an average rate 23.48% for account holders with bad credit histories, according to CreditCards.com, a comparison site for credit card offers.
Comenity Capital Bank also underwrites consumer credit transactions for Bill Me Later, a delayed payment invoicing service that is a subsidiary of eBay Inc.'s PayPal payment service. Bill Me Later is under investigation by the U.S. Consumer Financial Protection Bureau for potential consumer abuses related to its lending practices.
With Comenity Capital Bank extending credit to consumers, Dwolla does not need to rely on the banks associated with established credit card networks like Visa, MasterCard and American Express to take on the risk that consumers won't pay their bills. Because it doesn't need to work through the existing payment card networks, Dwolla can afford to charge only 25 cents per transaction, says Ben Milne, Dwolla's co-founder and CEO. The company supports consumer-to-consumer transactions as well as transactions among consumers and businesses, and its long-range plan is to grow through handling a large volume of transactions, he adds.
Mott of BetterBuyDesign contends that traditional payment card networks have become overly complicated in how they process authorizations and settlements with banks and deal with the security of transactions carrying payment card account numbers.
By comparison, he says, Dwolla has established a relatively simplified payment transaction network that processes all payment transactions with Comenity Capital Bank. He estimates that it may cost Dwolla far less than 25 cents to process each transaction, enabling it to earn a return at its 25-cent per transaction fee.
Dwolla declines to comment further on how it decided on the 25-cent fee, but notes that it has no plans to raise it, a spokesman says. To help keep costs down, the company will apply additional security requirements on merchants and account holders if necessary to help block fraudulent transactions, he says. Dwolla declines to comment further on those requirements, but notes that they have not been applied to any merchants.
Individuals can use Dwolla Credit to purchase up to $5,000 worth of goods in any single transaction, though Dwolla sets no limit on the number of transactions valued at $5,000 sent within any period of time. Businesses with a commercial Dwolla account can spend up to $10,000 per transaction, but can also apply for the ability to transfer up to $50 million in a single transaction, the company says.
Dwolla, which launched as a company in 2009, is backed by about $22 million in venture capital from firms including The Members Group, The Veridian Group, Union Square Ventures, Thrive Capital, Village Ventures and Andreesen Horowitz. Milne says Dwolla chose to work with these venture capital firms because they were willing to let the company grow over the long term through transaction volume, rather than building revenue faster by charging higher fees per transaction.

After a week off to celebrate Christmas, the Lady Spartans went back to work and hosted the Lady Warriors of Snow Canyon High School last Friday night in the Spartan Center. In what best could be described as an off night for both teams, Emery prevailed 35-21.
It was an offensive nightmare for Emery but a defensive gem as the Lady Spartans won this game because of their quickness and their ability to function as a team. My notes during each quarter had the following comments; rusty shooting inside in the first quarter, blas� in the second quarter, no touch on shots in the third quarter and finally, looking for timing in the fourth quarter. Looking at the preceding, you would have suspected a loss. A player's father after the game said, "That sure was a long second half."
Head Coach Steve Gordon, talking to his team after the game in the locker room, said, "If we make our lay-ups and our easy baskets, we win this game easily. Our perimeter players must shoot the ball with confidence; I never thought that this would be a problem with this team. We must play through this; it is all mental as we are a good team. And free throws, we have got to work on this."
In the first quarter, Emery missed six shots that could be considered point blank and nine in the first half. Emery was only 2 for 8 at the free throw line.
Emery had 12 steals, caused Snow Canyon to throw the ball away another half dozen times and held the Warriors without a field goal in the final period as they continued playing solid defense in the win.
Emery outscored Snow Canyon 15-4 in the opening quarter to take a double-digit lead that they never relinquished during the game. Ashley Hansen and Camille Fehlberg each had 4 points, Meagan Pearson hit a 3-pointer and Alexis Swasey and Tahna Merrell each had a single basket.
Emery won the second period 9-7 as Camille had five more points and Callie Seeley had a pair of baskets. The third quarter was a long one offensively for Emery, as they did not score a basket until Alexis made a lay-up with 1:03 left in the period. Camille had made a free throw earlier in the quarter. Although Emery only scored three points in the quarter, they held the Warriors to five points so that they still had an 11-point lead.
Emery finished out the game by winning the final quarter 8-5 to get the preseason victory. Having a basket in that final period were Alexis, Meagan, Ashley and Frankie Komar, a freshmen point guard.
Lest you get me wrong, I must clarify my thinking about this team. This team had not played for nine days and had only a single practice the day before the game. This offensive production was almost to be expected because of the time off and the holidays and all. This team is so talented that even in an off night they are still able to come home with a good win. One last quote from Coach Gordon said it all; "You have got to be disappointed with yourself when you miss easy baskets." Looking at the faces each time, they clearly were.
The Emery JV team snuck out a 1-point victory earlier in the night as they won 39-38. Meagan had 20 points in the win and Rachel Rasmussen added 10 points. Jodi Lundell had 7 points, and Shalae Cox and Jodi Robertson each made a free throw.
Emery is at home Tuesday night, Jan. 3 as they conclude the preseason hosting Wasatch. They then host North Sanpete on Thursday night as region action begins. Varsity action starts at 7 p.m.

When Johann Wolfgang von Goethe was staying in Františkovy Lázně, he described the town as "heaven on earth". To this day the smallest settlement in the famous West Bohemian spa triangle – the other two points being Karlovy Vary and Mariánské Lázně – still boasts elegant neo-Classical colonnades, well-pruned parks, an agreeable ambience and a feeling of tranquillity, rest and relaxation. Come and see for yourself if the words of the famous German poet still hold true, and enjoy some time in the town that gave the world its first mud spa.
For more information please contact:
Information Center and CA FL TOURSFrantiškovy Lázně, Americká 2
Locals began to notice the curative properties of the local springs around five centuries ago. The spa town itself, however, was only founded in the 18th century by Austrian Emperor Franz I, after whom it is named. At its zenith people like Johann Strauss, Prince Metternich, Kafka and Beethoven came to take the cure.
In Františkovy Lázně you can put yourself in the capable hands of no less than 20 cold mineral springs, top-quality natural mud and gases with curative properties. All of these are used in the treatment of the muscular-skeletal system, cardiovascular disease and, in particular, gynaecological problems, including infertility. However, the graceful spa houses also offer enjoyable wellness procedures, which are guaranteed to return your lost vitality, rejuvenate the body and de-stress the mind.
It's not just Brussels that uses the symbol of a little boy – Františkovy Lázně does too. The West Bohemian boy's name is František and he is said to have miraculous powers. Locals believe that if a woman touches his statue in a certain place, she is guaranteed to become pregnant. Not far from the well-known statue you can drink from the František Spring. Strolling along the main avenue, don't forget to stop by at the House U Dvou zlatých lvů (At the Two Golden Lions) where Beethoven stayed during his visits to the town. If you like a bit of watery fun, why not enliven your visit with a splash around at the Aquaforum, where both indoor and outdoor pools, water slides, whirlpools, water caves, saunas, hydromassage and beach volleyball courts await.
Widen your horizons and hit the road to discover the surrounding area. A mere 5km from Františkovy Lázně lies Cheb, one of the most attractive towns in the country with its marvellous half-timbered houses. If you like enigmatic landscapes, come and explore the unique SOOS nature reserve where mud volcanoes are the only relics of once greater volcanic activity.

Valera is the maker of the industry's first anti-tangle cord, the ROTOCORD (patent pending) featuring a swiveling base for graceful styling.
UpdateI used this hair dryer again for the second time. I have to say that this is 10 times better than the Solia dryer. The cool shot is cold (after a few seconds) and the lowest temperature is cool air. it does not get too hot and it does not blow as hard as the Solia, as I've said before. But, it gets the job done fast!Sep 23, 2013CourtHAIR TYPEBlack / Dry Hair / Thick or Coarse Hair / Relaxed Hair

Fantastic!I currently own the Solia dryer (the dark blue one). I love it but wanted to try something new since I was pushing the buttons accidentally while drying my hair. I also wanted to try this product because I used to study and work in Switzerland and I know the Swiss make great products. The air doesn't seem to blow as hard as the Solia but this one gets hotter. I was convinced that I would have to return the dryer upon opening the package because the box did not mention tourmaline. However, the dryer itself indicates tourmaline on the bottom, next to the logo. The cool shot is not as cold as my Solia. Because the Solia blows truly cold air on low temperature setting like its cool shot, I will keep my Solia. However, this one is great. I was using the Infiniti Styler to help straighten new growth after shampoos & conditioners but, it got too hot for my hair. I decided to try it again and so much of my hair broke off even though I had a heat protectant. This Valera will replace that Infiniti styler. Another thing, the buttons are fine where they are because there's more room on the handle. Great idea!

Hot And LightSo far so good. This 7200 replaces my Solia which was a bit heavy and took quite some time to dry my medium short hair. The Soila replaced my Sedu which was hot and heavy but had the worst cord for a personal hair dryer. Both the Soila and the Sedu had tangled cords that wrapped around and became difficult to untangle. Honestly can't someone create a cord that does not look like a boa constrictor after 6 months of usage. Well this is where the Valera corrects the problem by creating something it calls a RotoCord. Its a little ball that allows the short top portion of the cord to swivel around and not tangle the longer bottom portion of the cord. Voila-a cord that does not look like its about to strangle itself when used. So I like the cord - what about the dryer? The black plastic is not as nice as the Sedu or the Solia and it seems thinner (and lighter). The other dryers -while they did not function well - were a bit more attractive. Also this seems a bit louder than the other two. Maybe it has a larger motor or the thinner plastic allows for more noise to come through. Other than that I like that it is hotter and lighter and the cord is not tangling. I'm willing to live with more noise to get something I enjoy using and don't have to waste time playing with a tangled cord before drying my hair.Mar 17, 2013Debbie G. / MarylandHAIR TYPELight Brown / Color Treated Hair / Fine or Thin Hair

Buy This Dryer Period!!!! You Will Not Regret This Purchase!My hair is naturally wavy, shoulder length, color treated hair. I am happy to say that I no longer have to use my GHD straightener after drying my hair with this dryer. It leaves my hair shiny and soft and stick straight. The air flow is seriously strong on high and dries my hair in about 3 minutes flat. It gets nice and hot but not scorch your scalp hot. The cold shot is nice and cold and the adjustable heat offers the perfect temp for all your needs. I really cannot comment on noise because my other dryer (Chi) was pretty loud and this is comparable, maybe slightly louder. It's not overly heavy either. One of the best things however is the rotocord. You don't realize how awesome it is, to not contend with cord tangles until you use this dryer and see the difference. The rotocord elminates them. Worth it's weight in gold for sure. Do not hesitate to buy this dryer, run, don't walk, it's that fantastic!!!!!
For reference, I've used Solano, Chi, iTech and Babyliss. This dryer blows them (pun intended) all away.Jan 24, 2012B.j. / MassachusettsHAIR TYPEMedium Brown / Normal Hair / Curly Hair / Color Treated Hair / Fine or Thin Hair

Great Dryer!!!!My T3 died and I bought this Valera dryer and am super happy with it. I was initially planning on buying one of the more popular Folica dryers from its top 10 list. However, when I read the reviews, quite a few of the dryers were criticized for being too heavy, unreliable, etc. I noticed that although this dryer had no reviews, the other Valera dryers got great reviews so I decided to take a chance. I love this dryer because it is ligh weight, has the ionic/tourmaline feature and although the description doesn't state it, it also has the roto cord, which means no more twisted cords! My hair looks much better now than it did with my T3 It looks more finished with less effort. I often skip my flat iron now, which I wasn't able to do before. I am super happy with this purchase and would buy this brand again.Jan 11, 2012CarmHAIR TYPEDry Hair / Curly Hair / Chemically Treated Hair

ANNA – Lt. Governor Sheila Simon and Illinois Department of Veterans' Affairs (IDVA) Director Erica Borggren visited residents of the Adjutant Illinois Veterans' Home in Anna to celebrate the holidays and highlight the importance of funding for veterans homes throughout Illinois.
"Veterans' homes like this allow us to better care for the men and women who have served our country. The state's fiscal reality has already resulted in cuts to services for veterans, and it is vital that we work together in Springfield to make sure that these homes – which provide a sense of community, medical care and more – remain open and operating," said Simon, chair of the state's military base retention and reuse committee.
Lt. Governor Simon and Dir. Borggren celebrated the holidays with veterans at the southern Illinois home by building gingerbread houses, and they talked about the importance of preserving funding for veterans' homes even in the state's current fiscal instability.
"During the holiday season, it's important for all of us to remember and honor our veterans, many of whom spent the holidays away from home during their time in uniform, and some of whom are even now serving in harm's way," said IDVA Director Erica Borggren. "The work we at IDVA do throughout the year in Anna and at our other Veterans' Homes is an important way we honor and thank our heroes for their service and sacrifices."
The IDVA currently operates four veterans' homes throughout Illinois. In addition to the home in Anna, facilities are located in LaSalle, Manteno and Quincy. Work is also underway on a fifth home in Chicago. Each home is fully staffed with professionals who provide quality long-term, skilled care and services to resident members. Volunteers from veteran service organizations and the local community provide many additional supporting services and activities to the veterans.
The state's veterans' homes have not been immune to budget cuts, due in part to the state's growing pension burden. During fiscal year 2013, the homes housed 44 fewer veterans, and 36 staff positions were cut. The Governor is working with the General Assembly to stabilize pension costs that are threatening spending priorities, such as education and medical care for homeless veterans.
The state's veterans' homes work closely with local healthcare agencies to ensure that each resident's health care needs are met. Emphasis is given to ensuring that each resident member is well cared for, has a full quality of life, and enjoys a caring, supportive environment.
The Anna Veterans' Home is located in the Anna-Jonesboro community in Union County. It is a modern, single story structure opened in August 1994. Situated on 16 acres, the home provides skilled nursing care services to eligible veterans. The home has a 50-bed nursing care capacity and 12 beds in six adjoining apartment-style domiciliary units.

After winning two games on the road last week, the Emery Spartans came home to host the Coal Country Classic this past weekend. The Spartans have now won four straight games as they defeated the Park City Miners 71-55 on Friday night and the Morgan Trojans 65-58 Saturday night. Other teams playing in the Spartan Center were the Snow Canyon Warriors, the Tooele Buffalos and the Canyon View Falcons.
On Friday in a 9:45 p.m. start, a great first quarter by Darrin Winn propelled Emery to a 19-14 lead. Winn had 10 points in the quarter along with 4 rebounds to have a good start to a pretty good night of basketball for the Emery senior. Emery opened the period on a 17-8 run before two late three's by the Miners cut into the Emery lead.
Emery started the second quarter on a 6-0 run before allowing Park City to go on their own 9-0 run to cut the lead back to 2 points. Emery then responded with a 7-0 run to go to the half leading 33-26.
Park City left their man-to-man defense and went to a zone, as they were constantly being beat by Emery's penetration into the paint. Emery also changed defenses as they went to a 1-3-1 zone to slow down Park City's three point shots.
The third quarter belonged to Emery as they won the quarter 17-9 as Josh Eden hit two 3-pointers to pace the Spartans. Eden hit three more in the final period to lead the Spartans in scoring for the night with 17 points.
The Emery offense runs through their point guard Dave Justice as a lot of teams do but Emery does it with a twist. Justice is especially effective when he gets the ball to the high post. He has the ability to hit the shot from there but also to dish to his two big guys inside or to the outside shooters set up along the three-point line. Against Park City, the offense ran smoothly.
Justice finished the night with a triple double. Along with scoring 11 points, he also had 12 assists and 11 rebounds. Vic Rosen, a left-handed post player at 6'6" finished the night with 11 points and 9 rebounds. Winn, a right-handed post player, finished the night with 16 points and 22 rebounds. Dempsey Jeffs, the other Emery starter hit a couple of three pointers to finish with 8 points.
Also scoring were Kyler Edgehouse, Blake Mortensen, Karson Jensen and Tyler Killpack.
On Saturday night against the undefeated Trojans, Emery had a big first half to withstand a good second half by Morgan to secure the victory. Emery led 35-21 at the half.
Morgan went to a full court press in the second half and threw the Spartans off their game. Morgan got physical as they double and triple teamed the ball with a harassing defense that forced Emery into numerous turnovers. Emery failed to score for the first four minutes of the second half.
Coach Todd Jeffs after the game talked about his team, "We did not play smart in that second half. We have got to get our heads up, see the floor and play smarter."
Eden again led the Spartans, this time with 22 points as he also hit four 3-pointers. Winn had 11 points, 9 rebounds and 4 blocks and Rosen had 10 points and 11 rebounds.
Justice finished with 7 points; Jeffs with 5 points and Edgehouse had a good game and finished with 10 points. Justice and Winn fouled out of the game. Emery had 19 turnovers, 18 assists and 36 rebounds.
Emery will host Hurricane and Pine View this Thursday and Friday in the Spartan Center. Games start at 3:30 pm with Varsity action slated at 7 p.m.

A dominant first-half display from Saracens was enough to secure a comfortable 30-13 victory over Racing Metro on Saturday.
A dominant first half display from Saracens was enough to secure a comfortable 30-13 win over Racing Metro in a historic Heineken Cup clash in Brussels on Saturday.
The London club are playing a host of home games in across Europe and made history at the King Baudouin Stadium by becoming the first team to stage a European encounter in Belgium.
After Olly Barkley and Charlie Hodgson traded penalties in the opening ten minutes, Chris Wyles scored the game's first try on his 100th appearance for the club thanks mainly to a strong run and offload from hooker Schalk Brits out wide.
Sarries were playing by far the more enterprising rugby and, after another period of concerted pressure just before the half-hour mark, Steve Borthwick thundered onto a flat pass from Neil de Kock and powered through former team-mate Barkley to score.
And the nomadic Londoners were unfortunate not to add to their two tries late on in the first half as the backs continued to look dangerous and Racing had Bernard le Roux sent to the sin bin but they had to settle for a Hodgson penalty to leave the score 20-3 at the interval.
Hodgson edged Saracens further in front at the start of the second half but Racing suddenly sparked into life on the hour mark as Juan Martin Hernandez launched an attack down the right flank and exchanged passes with Masinivanua Matadigo before flicking the ball inside to Juan Imhoff to score.
Fabrice Estebanez slotted over the conversion and replacement Gaetan Germain added another three points with ten minutes remaining to cut the deficit to ten points but that was as close as the Frenchmen could get.
Saracens sealed victory late on through Will Fraser after Hodgson took the ball flat and burst between two defenders before offloading to the flanker to crash over.
The English side pushed hard for the bonus point try in a frenetic final few minutes but they came up short and had to settle for just the four points from their home game in Belgium.
The scorers:
For Saracens:
Tries: Borthwick, Fraser, Wyles
Cons: Hodgson 3
Pens: Hodgson 3
For Racing Metro:
Try: Imhoff
Con: Estebanez
Pens: Barkley, Germain

Replacements: 16 John Smit, 17 Mako Vunipola, 18 Carlos Nieto, 19 Alistair Hargreaves, 20 Andy Saull, 21 Richard Wigglesworth, 22 Joel Tomkins, 23 David Strettle.
Racing Metro: 15 Juan Martin Hernandez, 14 Benjamin Fall, 13 Mirco Bergamasco, 12 Fabrice Estebanez, 11 Juan Imhoff, 10 Olly Barkley, 9 Maxime Machenaud, 8 Bernard le Roux, 7 Jacques Cronje (capt), 6 Antoine Battut, 5 Francois Van Der Merwe, 4 Karim Ghezal, 3 Luc Ducalcon, 2 Dimitri Szarzewski, 1 Andrea Lo Cicero.
