Urinary Tract Infection (UTI)
Has anyone of you tried this during pregnancy? How did you feel? How did you manage it? As for me I have tried this and it is really painful and had to do a lot of diagnostic and follow up tests with medications.
UTI may be symptomatic or asymptomatic. And pregnant women are more prone to this. This should not be ignored since this may cause preterm labor just like what happened to me, but thank God it was halted. So if you feel like you are having UTI, never hesitate to consult your healthcare provider.

I would NEVER wait to see the doctor if I had a UTI -- pregnant or not. For one thing they are really painful -- at least for me and waiting is not an option. Plus, it is an infection so you want to make sure you get it taken care of quickly so if doesn't turn into a kidney infection or something worse.
I don't like taking antibiotics unnecessarily and for me, a UTI is very necessary.
Drinking lots of water, wearing cotton underwear, urinating after having sex with your partner, I also notice if I am consuming a lot of sugar or soda (which I rarely drink) I will end up with a UTI if I'm not careful.

When I was ten I had a UTI. It remained undiagnosed for months because my symptoms were not straightforward for a long time. I do not remember haivng painful urination or backaches. I had headaches and fever. My mom finally switched me to a different pediatrician who immediately found out what was wrong. She gave me a urine test and I realized I had stopped urinating. The little bit of urine that came out was dark brown. I had to be in the hospital for one month of the third grade with IV antibiotics. I almost died. I have significant kidney damage that I have to live with forever.
It is important that you see a doctor if you think you have a UTI because they can become very serious and as stated, they are related to preterm labor. I rarely take antibiotics but a UTI is an exception to that. Like DoubleSunshine, I also get them if I am taking in a lot of sugar.
As for pregnancy UTI, I've had two. With one I had classic symptoms, including very painful urination. With the other, I thought I was in labor because of back pain and stomach aches.

Hi everyone!
When I was pregnant, I had UTI twice. The first time I had it, I didn't had an idea that I was having such infection because I was not feeling any pain. It was only when I was admitted to the hospital due to bleeding problems wherein I was diagnosed to have UTI and threatened labor. The second was when I experienced hematuria, dysuria, and back pains. My obstetrician advised me to have laboratory tests such as urinalysis and an abdominal ultrasound. It was seen that I have small kidney stones on my left kidney. I was shocked with the findings since I drink atleast 2 liters of water a day during my pregnancy. My doctor explained that it might be due to the hormones produced during my pregnancy. Because of that, I really got scarred that until now, I make sure to drink lots and lots water everyday so as to avoid having complications with my kidney.
By the way, when I had UTI during pregnancy I was given antibiotics to treat the infection.

We seldom get urinary tract infections (UTI) but when we have, we have treated them naturally. I'm not saying that they shouldn't be treated with antibiotics because antibiotics can be extremely effective at clearning a UTI. It's just that I like to take precautions to avoid them and if we do feel like we might be getting one, then I like to treat it naturally as to avoid the risks and complications that can come with taking antibiotics.
Having said that, I'd encourage anyone who tends to get urinary tract infections easily, to be proactive in doing a few simple things to avoid them.
One thing is to take pure cranberry juice (very sour) or extract. This can be taken in capsules, chewable tablets, liquid tincture or soft gels. For my young children, I give them the chewable tablets. For myself, I take the capsules or soft gels. The benefit this offers is that the bacteria causing the UTI (most of the time it's e-coli) will attach to the cranberry and when you drink water, it will be flushed out of the urinary tract and bladder.
Something else you can do is to boost your immune system. One way to do this is by taking colostrum. Colostrum has become much more readily available in the past 20 years, and I find it at my local vitamin store. It is colostrum from cows. Also, taking a probiotic like Salivarius (very expensive) can be helpful. If you can't find or afford Salivarius, at you can try something like acidophilus or bifidus, which is more affordable.
Drinking plenty of pure water and keeping your sugar, juice and fruit intake to a minimum can also help as mentioned by a couple of other moms. Bacteria thrive on sugar which means they will multiply faster once the bacteria is introduced into the urethra.
At the slightest symptom of a UTI (achy feeling, strong smelling urine, difficulty urinating), we immediately turn to cranberry (unsweetened) and drink plenty of pure water. Works every time for our family.
Here's an example of how well this works.
When my first child (a girl) was 3, she had fever and was just not feeling well. I remember her being like this for 3 days, and I even had her in a pull-up because it was just easier. Well I remember changing her pull-up and noticing that it smelled strong and that her urine was darker than usual. That's when I suspected a bladder infection.
I immediately started her on cranberry and I had her give me a urine sample in a very clean jar, and then I took it to the lab. The doctor prescribed an antibiotic, but I wanted to see if I could resolve the infection naturally. That was on a Friday. I decided not to have the antibiotic prescription filled until I knew for sure she had a bladder infection.
By Sunday she was MUCH better, and asymptomatic (showing no symptoms of the bladder infection). On Monday, when I called and asked for the results of the test (after they had time to culture it), they said that her bacteria count in the urine was over 100,000. I told them that she was asymptomatic and that I wanted to have her urine tested again. I took another sample in that day, and when I got the results back, everything was within normal range.
My gut feel was right in that situation and that's why it is so very important to know your body and to know your children. The sooner you can pick it up the better your chances of treatment.
Hope this gives someone some good ideas on how to avoid or treat a UTI or bladder infection naturally.

Thank you 5Homebirths4Kate for the wonderful information you provided. Yeah in our family we are also into drinking cranberry extract. We also drink tea like wachichao because it greatly helps in lessening or even cures UTI. Drinking lots of water is a must. And yes just like DoubleSunshine, I'm more prone to UTI when I consume soda frequently.
I was treated with category b antibiotics that time and was on tocolytics also to prevent the progress of my labor. I was on complete bed rest for 1 month and was taking laxatives too because I wasn't allowed to have a hard time defecating. I also had oxalate crystals that time which made my condition worse and painful. But thank God my labor was stopped and gave birth at exactly 37weeks, just enough time for the baby to have functioning lungs.

I have had UTI's during my pregnancies. With one pregnancy. I had them fairly often. I did go on antibiotics for it, but I know drinking plenty of water and cranberry juice are both natural ways to help prevent a UTI and even treat it. In my case, they were recurrent and very painful. I ended up going into labor nearly three weeks early with that pregnancy.

Hi Jessica - I have found Thompsons Ultra Cranberry 17000 - which is a high strength Cranberry extract - very good at helping prevent urinary tract infections. As a preventative they recommend one capsule a day and two capsules daily with food if you have a UTI.

Wow, I'm checking out this Thompsons Ultra Cranberry 17000. I believe this would be a good alternative compared to other commercially prepared cranberry juices which offers only a lesser amount of cranberry. It's just amazing amazing how you can get so much in one capsule. I would definitely love to try this!

Well I'm 8 months along with my third, and I'm having some serious bladder issues. I'm wearing pads 24/7 because everything causes me to leak. I also need to pee at least every hour, if not more. Me and the husband have tickets to a concert this weekend, and I'm considering using ADULT DIAPERS. I know they are gross but so are the porta potties they are going to have on sight, at least I won't have to keep leaving my seat to wait in line. Has anyone ever used adult diapers while pregnant? Anything I should know or any advice?
21st March 2012 05:34 AM #11
I haven't used Adult Diapers while pregnant, but I'd say give it a try (maybe before the concert) and see how it works for you. I'm guessing that you're not wetting that much and that the bladder is just having a hard time holding a lot of liquid. If you're going to a concert, you could stop drinking 2 hours before the concert, and try not to drink until you leave the concert. That way your chance of having to go during the concert will be much lower. Just a thought

Yes rachel you may use adult diapers but just make it sure that it won't get wet too much. As much as possible keep yourself dry, and if you think the diaper's wet already, you change immediately. Remember that bacteria thrives on moist places and that would be the last thing that we would want.

I AM one of Jehovahs Witnesses, and I am always learning. I am NOT an expert in the full sense of the word but I can answer questions on the reliability of the NWT - the so called mind control problems-so called prophecies - how being a JW affects the individual and relatives and general practices and history of Jehovahs Witnesses. >>WARNING<< Please be aware that there are people here who ARE NOT practicing JWs. By all means ask these ones questions. Depending on the question you will get an honest answer, but, generally the answer you get, will mislead you as to what we believe, often because, they do not give ALL the relevant details. These ones will, have an agenda against JWs., and will at times give answers that are not correct in regard to JW teachings and practices. If you are after a answer from one of Jehovahs Witnesses, please read some of the answers that the various experts have published before choosing someone. If you want to ask one of the NON JWs a question, that is fine, BUT if you want a balancing view after asking one of the NON JWs, ask a JW the same question. PLEASE ALSO NOTE: There(have been)and are, some "experts" here who are NOT always the most courteous and polite, at times are actually quite rude, that applies to both JW's and non JW's and their answers may offend, especially when they get personal and attack the character of the person and not the message. Unfortunately some here that have done that. So it IS IMPORTANT to chose an "expert" that YOU feel will best suit YOU by reading some of their past answers . . . . .
I have been a publisher since 1964. When I first went on the internet I found a lot of negative information dealing with Jehovahs Witnesses covering prophecy, mind control and what many said was a very bad translation of the Bible known as the NWT. It shook my faith. After may hours researching these topics I could see why some felt that way, but, I was also able to explain why there were these misleading views. I can now set matters straight for anyone that has negative information about Jehovahs Witness to show them that such information is at best misleading and at worst dangerous lies.
I have been a student of the Bible for many years, am trying to teach myself Biblical Greek. Was a public tax accountant for many years untill SEP 2009 when I gave it up due to health problems.

Women's tennis has a new champion. On Sunday, at Arthur Ashe stadium, in Queens, New York, Australia's Samantha Stosur won the women's U.S. Open title. She beat Serena Williams to take home her first Grand Slam title, winning in two sets 6-2, 6-3.
Despite the fact that Stosur was ranked higher than Williams going into the Open, and was deemed to have a better chance of taking the top prize, her win was startling. That's because Stosur has never won a major tournament. Williams, however, is a three-time U.S. Open champion. Over the course of her career, she has won 13 Grand Slams. There are four Grand Slam tournaments a year. They are the Australian Open, the French Open, the U.S. Open and Wimbledon, held in England. In more than a week of play leading up to Sunday's finals match-up, Williams hadn't lost a set. Still, Stosur came out ahead.
Stosur's victory marks the first time an Australian woman has won a major tennis championship since Evonne Goolagong Cawley won at Wimbledon in 1980, thirty-one years ago. After the match, Cawley sent a text message to Stosur: "Twinkletoes, you finally have got what you deserved."
Stosur has been moving toward the top for some time. She was once a specialist at doubles, a style of tennis where a team of two players is matched against an opposing pair. But over the past several years, Stosur has been focusing on her singles play, and has moved into the top 10 in that category. Just last year Stosur was runner-up at the French Open.
Stosur has played against Williams in the past. Though Stosur had lost to Williams four times previously, she had also won twice. That experience helped boost her confidence going into Sunday's match.
"I knew I had to go out there and play well and actually do it," Stosur said. "But I think having those victories in the past, for sure, made me feel a little bit more comfortable."
Tempers Flare
While Williams was dealing with a determined Stosur, she also got herself involved again in some controversy.
At one point in the match, Williams whipped a forehand shot deep to Stosur's backhand side and screamed out 'C'mon!' — figuring she had hit a shot that Stosur wouldn't reach. But Stosur stretched out and got a racket on the ball. Umpire Eva Asderaki called Williams for a hindrance. A hindrance is something that delays or disrupts the game. Because of the umpire's decision, the point was awarded to Stosur, and she won the game.
Williams was upset by the umpire's call. She lost her temper, and shouted at Asderaki. In response, Asderaki issued a warning for verbal abuse.
Despite the eruption of emotion, Williams admitted that the call didn't determine the match. "I hit a winner but I guess it didn't count. It wouldn't have mattered in the end. Sam played really well."
For her part, Stosur stayed positive. "To go out and play the way I did was an unbelievable thing," she said.
The men's final, between top players Rafael Nadal and Novak Djokovic, was scheduled to begin Monday afternoon.

You know I love writing scary stories. But I don't like it when the scary stories happen to ME!
In April, my wife Jane and I went to London for a short vacation that turned out to be longer than we planned. Yes, the Iceland volcano erupted, the airports all closed, and we were stranded in London for days.
And, of course, in my mind I began imagining story plots:
- What if the volcano spewed its ashes for a year or two? What would people do—just forget their homes and start new lives in a new place?
- What if a kid goes away to camp, there's a huge blast of black air from a volcano—he is stranded in another dimension, and cannot find his home or see his family ever again?
You can see how my mind works. From real to fantasy. But it would make a great story, don't you think? Write what you think happens next in the Comments.

The exhibition
For the first time the National Gallery of Australia will give visitors the opportunity to experience Early and High Renaissance paintings by many of the greatest Italian artists. Raphael, Sandro Botticelli, Giovanni Bellini and Titian are some of the painters represented in our summer exhibition, which reveals an amazing gamut of talent and creative splendour. More than 70 works on canvas and wood panel will be on display only in Canberra.
These treasures are on loan from the Accademia Carrara in Bergamo, Italy. Borrowing from its marvellous collection is only possible because the Accademia is renovating its display spaces, and the museum is temporarily closed.
The works in Renaissance were created between 1400 and 1600 by exceptional artists in northern and central Italy. Of extraordinary quality, the paintings were made in such centres of Renaissance culture as Venice, Florence, Milan, Bergamo, Padua, Ferrara and Siena, where the Church and private patrons commissioned religious scenes as well as magnificent portraits. Subjects range from poignant depictions of the Madonna and Child, Bible stories, the lives of the saints and moving renditions of the Crucifixion to insightful images of nobles and patricians.
These two centuries of Italian art are the foundation of the grand tradition of European painting. The genius of Raphael and Titian is known to all, but less famous artists such as Cosmè Tura, Carlo Crivelli, Lorenzo Lotto, Bartolomeo Vivarini, Vittore Carpaccio, Pietro Perugino and Giovan Battista Moroni announce their prodigious talents in Canberra. Paintings by Raphael, Botticelli, Bellini, Andrea Mantegna and Perugino have never been shown in Australia before; other works, painted by some of the most important and talented artists to practise in this formative period of European art, have rarely or never been shown here.
In Crivelli's Madonna and Child 1475, an ornately dressed Mary is crowned the Queen of Heaven. She holds her Son protectively with elegant hands, her head tilted to Him as He nestles into her. The panel is shaped in graceful curved arches, reminding us of the earlier sources of Renaissance art, while beautifully executed fruit and a carnation symbolise elements of the Christian story. The landscape setting repays close attention, contrasting a verdant scene with a harsh one. Crivelli worked in the Marches of central Italy, away from the then modern cultural centres, so his art retains Gothic decorative features such as the relief on the Virgin's clothes.
Lorenzo Costa's Saint John the evangelist c 1480 was originally painted in tempera on wood panel and later transferred to canvas. His use of bright, clear colour enlivens the portrayal of the saint, who holds his attributes of the palm frond of martyrdom and chalice. The dead tree and live cypresses represent death and eternal life, while a severe marble structure locates the apostle's life in the Roman Empire. Costa demonstrates his knowledge and love of classical architecture while providing a counterpoint to the lush folds of fabric.
Renaissance Europe saw bursts of invention and new technology, from the development of telescopes to the introduction of oil paint. The medium spread into Italy from Flanders in the second half of the fifteenth century, and its brilliant hues and depth came to its apogee in Venice in the sixteenth century. One of the earliest masters was Bellini, whose Madonna and Child 1488 shows a mother looking tenderly at her baby Son. Her deep-blue drapery dominates the image. The Christ Child stands on a marble ledge upon which rests a pear. Bellini proudly signs his work on a cartellino (small piece of paper) painted onto the canvas.
The Florentine artist Botticelli created The story of Virginia the Roman 1498 as a large panel. He narrates the tragedy of a young girl whose death saves the Roman republic. Reading from the left, Virginia's fate unfolds: the assault on her virtue, trial by her kidnapper, murder at the hands of her father and her posthumous vindication. Botticelli presents the theatrical scene in three acts, rich in colour and rhythmic in movement, and set within grand Classical architecture. Saint Sebastian 1501–02 is depicted by Raphael holding an arrow, which would become the instrument used by his torturers. Instead of the traditional iconography of a partially draped man shown full length, the artist presents an elegant and richly dressed young man wearing gold-embroidered black brocade, a red cloak with gold edging and a gold chain. Raphael enjoys pictorial devices such as the saint's oval face mirrored in the loop of his chain, the curved halo echoed in his eyebrows. Again, the early Christian subject is placed in an idyllic central Italian landscape of the Renaissance.
Among other exquisite images of the Madonna and Child is Titian's canvas of about 1507, resplendent in colour, sensuous in its rendering of flesh and drapery and set in the countryside surrounding Venice. Such depictions of local scenery, bringing the sacred stories home to their audiences, signal the birth of landscape painting. The naturalism of the scene is underlined by the warm rapport of mother and baby, totally absorbed in each other.
The most charming portrait in the exhibition is Moroni's Girl from the Redetti family 1566–70. She is dressed in her best clothes and jewellery, holding her pearl necklace in one hand and wearing a coral bracelet to protect her health. The artist captures the little girl's patience, as it is about to turn to weariness with the hard task of sitting for her portrait. His rendering of the gold-and-black silk dress is a tour de force of oil painting.
The National Gallery of Australia is delighted to show great art from the Italian Renaissance. The exhibition will enrich the cultural life of Australia and reinforce our already warm bonds of friendship with the people of Italy, who have generously agreed to share their wonderful paintings with us.

Pros: Separation, Soundstage, Mids
Cons: Bass is nice and controlled, but no impact. Treble is too veiled.
Genres I listen to : Metal/Rock - Dream Theater/Megadeth/Metallica/Eagles/Scorpions
Songs I listened to when testing: The Dance of Eternity, Stream of Consciousness(Dream Theater); Little Wing(Stevie Ray Vaughan); 2112 Overture(Rush); Wind of Change 2000(Scorpions)
Overall Impressions:
The Westone UM3x provides excellent instrument separation, good sound stage and very good mid response. It's bass is controlled and tight, but provides no punch and impact. Treble is nice,detailed and clear but is too laid back and often seems veiled.
Build Quality:
Build quality of these earphones are extremely tough and durable. I've dropped them on the floor, accidentally knocked them onto tables/chairs but they still look good as new. The wires which comes together with the UM3x is braided and tough with zero microphonics. Having said that, they tangle easily and can be really annoying at times.

I remember trying this when my mom bought it. I have extremely dry eyelashes and they have no volume or curl. I noticed that this really worked well. It hydrated my lashes. I did notice though, it made my eyes feel heavy, I could have been tired but by the end of the day I was eager to take it off. Though I think this is a great product and the idea of what it does is perfect but I wouldn't be spending $150 on something like this, to be honest. I hydrate my lashes with olive oil and it has helped me a great deal!!

The latest development in The Children's Society's well-being research programme is our new index of subjective well-being for children aged eight and over. We wanted to develop an index of children's well-being that is statistically robust and covers the main aspects of children's lives, including those identified by children themselves.
The Good Childhood Index includes a five-item measure of life satisfaction, a single-item measure of happiness with life as a whole, and a series of questions about well-being in 10 key areas of children's lives. Analysis of the 2008 survey yielded the discovery that these ten areas explained over half of the variation in overall well-being:
- Family
- Friends
- Health
- Appearance
- Time use
- The future
- Home
- Money and possessions
- School
- Amount of choice.
The Good Childhood Index can be used in two broad ways.
1. Our short index
Our short index, which was launched in October 2010, has been designed to measure trends and variations in children's subjective well-being at a population level. This index was tested with a representative sample of 8- to 15-year-olds in July and October 2010, and shows good stability and validity. We will use the index to monitor children and young people's well-being on an ongoing basis with a quarterly survey of 2,000 8- to 15-year-olds.
There is also potential for the short index to be used to measure change in overall well-being for smaller samples of children and young people, for example, at the school or local authority level. We are currently piloting the index with schools and local authorities, if you'd like your organisation to join in these pilots please email firstname.lastname@example.com
By conducting a local survey, we heard from more than 50 organisations and individuals around the UK who are interested in using the index to explore the well-being of the children and young people with whom they work.
2. Our longer index
Our longer index was completed in July 2011 and parts of it are already in use in our programmes. It is useful for organisations that would like to evaluate their work and measure change in the well-being of the children and young people with whom they work. Organisations may choose from a menu of multi-item measures for the 10 key areas mentioned above. If you would like to be one of the first to use our longer index, then please email firstname.lastname@example.com

"My name Chris Constantine and I am from Cardiff, Wales in the United Kingdom.
I have been kayaking and canoeing extensively for 20 years (since I was 8 years old). I have paddled throughout the UK, Europe and more recently returned from a winter season rafting in Nepal.
I just love to be afloat on the water in a boat or on a board, from coaching trips or just a day out creeking with friends.
I have competed in freestyle, surf kayaking and raft racing, and I enjoy paddling class 4-5 rivers.
Off the water I like to climb, mountain bike and play guitar. I also enjoy a game of pool or going out socialising with friends down at the pub watching Rugby"

You have again proven my point....I think your independent view is what allows you to see it.
where WAS the outrage??? you ask: YOU ARE THE OUTRAGE!!!!!! your repeating the banter, MR Bush ( I think we still offer the respect of "President" even though they are not in office anymore, ie.President Clinton) spent billlions bombing....ya-da-ya-da
That is what you said right...see above for a refersher (kiinda like CE's..lol)
The protion you quoted of my post was INTENDED to make you think, here it is again
"could you imagine what the nation would say if Bush were to lend this kind of money out to a foreign country durring a major recession...wait we know what was said"
See you thought about it and came up with...."hey what was it I and MILLIONS of people were upset with....ohhhh yea, let me post it up for NCA to see, and then finish it off with "where was the outrage" ohhhh yea, wait, no this isnt gonna come out right.............duhhhhhoooo I did it again."
My point is WHERE IS THE OUTRAGE (funny huh, it's just my round about way of making you see the point)...this is a SCANDLE through and through and they are slipping it buy the american people...
yea you could say its on the rather small side of things at only 2 billion dollars, but it's that big toe in the cold water stuff I am worried about. To me this is just a Teaser.

In "Decision Time," Editor Brian Lovett will share a scenario from his 20-plus years hunting turkeys. Each hinges on a critical decision. Post what choice you would have made, and then see how things actually turned out.
Another Day in Mexico
If you go way back to the sixth installment of "Decision Time," you'll remember how I shot my first and only Gould's during a three-day hunt in Sonora, Mexico.
I didn't care that it had been a tough hunt. I didn't complain that I felt like I walked from one end of Mexico to the other. And I didn't mind that my bird was possibly the smallest adult Gould's gobbler ever recorded. However, I was concerned because a camp-mate hadn't shot his bird yet, and his hunting options were dwindling.
Let me back up. I shot my gobbler on the third day of the hunt on a small, rocky ranch surrounded by majestic Sierra Madre Occidental peaks. The key to that spot — as it is throughout much of Mexico — was that it held water. Most of the turkeys seemed to be wadded up in one giant breeding flock, but they were always near the old ranch yard and its stock tank.
Actually, after several hours of trying, my guide and I hadn't done anything with the breeding flock, but we'd yelped in several jakes and my bird, a diminutive 2-year-old. When I shot, the breeding flock erupted from the area near the stock tank and hustled up the mountain. No matter. I was tagged out. But what about my buddy?
Had I been at home, I would have hit another spot the next morning. After all, I'd just killed a bird and boogered the rest to high heaven. But we weren't at home and, not being intimately familiar with that part of the Sierra Madres, didn't have many other options. My buddy would have to hope the ranch-yard turkeys weren't that spooked or try his luck in parts unknown.
Our flight left at 9 a.m., so he only had one shot.
What would you have done? Post your decision below.

i hope we use wes welker in our offense alot this year. he seems to have morethan just kr/pr talent and could add a whole new demesion to the offense.
i hope we use wes welker in our offense alot this year. he seems to have morethan just kr/pr talent and could add a whole new demesion to the offense.
You are right... he has kr/pr/ko/fg/wr... he can probably play on defense as well. I would love to see him give a tony bua type hit to someone one day.
We will see alot more of Wes play at WR this coming season IMO. After pre season of course but i see him being a suprise for us. We all know he has the jinking moves and he can run. All we need to know now is how good are his hands.
From the Sun-Sentinel:
It will be hard to keep WR/KR Wes Welker off the field this season, as he not only catches everything thrown his way but also has the speed to break away.
I too share your enthusiasm for his potential, however, I caution over-using him. He is not big and I would really hate to lose him on special teams due to getting hurt as a WR. He needs to stay healthy for us and I would like to see him used sparingly on offense.
Skilled players are only as good as their line.
Wes Welker will be used probably exactly like Dante Hall was used. Returning like a madman, and sparingly at WR. Especially since the Fins are much deeper at WR than the chiefs were/are.
Look for him on "unique" plays and crazy formations. Do I smell a quadruple reverse?
Tacklin' Fuel.
(knocking on wood) I've seen that guy take some BIG hits in the four years of his college career at Tech, but never saw him miss a game due to injury. There were numerous rumors floating around all of the time about injuries he had, but he never left the field because of it. Welker has some heart let me tell ya.
good talent, came out of nowhere, maybe a dante hall type, could be a slot receiver type....
i think he is the most virsitile player in the NFL now or at least close to it, maybe we sold try him out at corner:goof:

For a project we are currently working on, we needed to generate, and send a Word 2010 document to the client. The document was generated by a great PL/SQL document generation tool called Doxxy, and was sent to the client using the wpg_docload package. This is a standard Oracle pl/sql package that can be used to download files, BLOBs and BFILEs.
Before the download, we set the Content-type in the http header as follows :
When sending the document to the client, we got the following popup in our browser :
So it looked like our browser didn't recognized that this was an Word 2010 document.
Looking at the response header, using Firebug, we got the following result :
Somehow the content type for Word 2010 was overwritten to text/html; charset=utf-8.
So, time for the good old trial and error approach, which, after a while, paid off.
Before setting the response header to : owa_util.mime_header('….',FALSE); we need to issue the following commands :
htp.flush(); htp.init();
Now the code looks like this :
After adding these 2 lines, we got the correct mime type :

text: honestly, i find long's decline really sad. from the second game of 2009 until about 2/3 of the way thru the 2010 season, long's play was absolutely dominant, the best stretch of tackle play i've ever seen from a dolphin (and i was a fan during the webb years). he looked like a surefire hall of famer and he hadn't even hit his prime yet. then he hurt his elbow, i think it was against tennessee, and the next week long was obviously not the same; julius peppers abused him. and ever since then it's just been a steady stream of injuries and declining play and it just sucks.

Film & Discussion: People of a Feather
Featuring groundbreaking footage from seven winters in the Arctic, PEOPLE OF A FEATHER takes the audience through time into the world of Inuit on the Belcher Islands in Hudson Bay. Connecting past, present, and future is a unique cultural relationship with the eider duck.
Recreations of traditional life are juxtaposed with modern life in Sanikiluaq, as both people and eiders face the challenges posed by changing sea ice and ocean currents disrupted by the massive hydroelectric dams powering eastern North America. The eyes of a remote subsistence culture challenge the world to find energy solutions that work with the seasons of our hydrological cycle.


text: I'm moving to the Spokane, Wa area Jan 10th 2013. I'll actually be living in the Mica Peak area south of greenacres. I was wondering if there is a group of guys/gals that train in the area. I'm not really looking for a club right now due to limited funds. I am getting out of the Air Force after 9 years of active duty. I'm currently stationed in Great Falls, Montana. If everything goes as planned I'll only be in the area until July when I will hopefully be attending the WA State Patrol Academy. I have a 7 year old yellow lab "Cash" who has 2 HT passes, and a 3 year old black lab "Koda" who took 1st in a couple of puppy stakes in Minot, ND. I haven't been able to run them for the past 2 years in any test due to the baby machine being activated a few times. Thanks in advance for any offers, ideas, leads, etc. Here are a couple of pictures of both of them taken on a cold (-10 F) December day this year. Far left pic. is Koda on a 150+ yard retrieve in the Missouri River. The next one is Cash on a 100+ yard retrieve also in the Missouri.


text: Went to Wal-Mart today and the stock guy said when asked if there were more in the back that the line was "deleted". This is otherwise known as discontinued. If this is true, looks like TRU, Zellers will probably be the only stores left carrying this product. I heard this on another site from a guy who heard this at another Wal-Mart store so this confirms the fact. This is pretty strange since Wal-Mart has been selling them pretty good and is where I picked up all my sweet finds (Chewbacca, Orn Free Taa, Vader, Solo).

What a weekend. Spent a lot of time outside (even though it was cold and raining most of the time) with my son, wife and her little brother. Got some yard work done too.
The UltraSPARC from Donovan Systems came in this weekend (Sat. delivery, yeah FedEx!). Problem is, it's only one of the two I was supposed to get, and there appears to be no monitor :/ Oh well, it's a nice system, and it'll leave my UltraSPARC 5 open for much testing (can we say bootstrapping binary-sparc64? :)
Lots to do before work in Monday. I dread the traffic around D.C., but I love the scenery on the way. Hate leaving my wife and kid, even for 2 days though :(

Back in June 2010, I got my wife a 10g tank and she picked out a betta for it. She asked if live plants would work in the tank, and I said that I didn't think they would unless we upgraded the stock lighting (a single fluoroescent bulb) but there was no harm in trying... so we added a bit of java moss and some water sprite cuttings from my planted tank.
Well, I was right. The water sprite wilted and died, and the java moss turned brown and succumbed to algae. Oh well, no big deal. I removed all the dead plant matter.
Two years pass by. The betta is an old man now, spending all his time between meals sitting around on the decorations. For two years I have not added any plants, and there has not been any sign that I m issed removing any of the dead stuff. And then...
One day I notice some green fuzz on some driftwood. I watch it grow, and, over the course of a few weeks, turns into this: java moss, clinging to the driftwood at the filter outlet. Pretty thin and wispy, but nice healthy green.
Somehow I must have missed some of the java moss, and that little bit that I missed was dormant for two entire years, surviving who knows how, until one day for some reason it decided to spring to live and start growing again. Pretty amazing stuff.300 gallon mega tank: sailfin pleco, clown loaches, silver dollars, roseline sharks, congo tetras, new world cichlids
125 gallon office tank: Africian cichlids, synodontis catfih
75 gallon community tank: bolivian rams, black skirt tetras, dwarf neon rainbowfish, corys, harlequin rasboras, otos, bristlenose and bulldog plecos, assassin snails, various shrimp
60 gallon goldfish tank: fancy goldfish
That is awesome! Interesting story:)Coastie-to-be... hopefully.
Isn't that Incredible? We had kind of the same thing happen in our yard. Bear in mind my wife and I do not have the greenest thumbs ever seen by man. But every few years we get a wild hair and try to replant our flower beds. This usually results in our dog or some other critter eating the shoots. Well the other week she went outside and a little plant caught her eye. It was a sprout from some unique non native plant (can't remember what she said it was) that we had planted when we first got married almost 9 years ago. We have redone that flower bed maybe three or four times since then? No idea how it held on this long."A grain of sand is all I ever wanted to be. Lay me down and let the water wash over me, wash over me." -Mickey Newbury

Bill, Thank you for your kind words about Ellie and my breeding program of 38 years. Have the best of days, Al Bianchi Orion Kennels.
thanks for the message - remember the trial like it was yesterday - youngster just starting out - stayed the whole week on grounds committee - have a picture of Charlie Hayes, Joanie william, Bob Sabban, Nora and Howard Larson - think you would remember all of them - thanks for the message he was not a super star in trials as we used to call him "last bird Joe" - hardly ever went out until last series but always found a way to mess up last bird
Vern was a very special person - was with him at his last trial with a derby dog - think you co owned it and then when to GA to pick him up after Abe
died - that was a drive home with Mary H and him talking about the "old days"
thanks again
still can't forget Herb Walsh

Our raw organic Irish moss grows wild in the pristine and protected oceans off the coast of Canada. Known by many different names such as pearl moss and carragheen, Irish moss is a unique herb with many health benefits. This North Atlantic seaweed is edible and has mucilaginous substance as part of its yield which is what gives it the inherent medicinal qualities.
Its mucilaginous compounds help you detoxify, boost metabolism and strengthen hair, skin and nails. Traditionally used for a low sex drive. The wonder seaweed may have positive benefits for a number of health conditions such as the formation of varicose veins, halitosis, inflammation and dysentery. Irish moss has also been used as an emollient. Raw Irish moss may also have positive effects on hypertension, arteriosclerosis, and protection against fat.
Irish moss (chondrus crispus, carrageen) is full of electrolyte minerals - calcium, magnesium, sodium and potassium. Raw Organic Irish moss is a seaweed and a great natural source of Iodine / Potassium iodide (KI). Iodine is a chemical element essential for the production of thyroid hormones that regulate growth and metabolism. Diets deficient in iodine increase risk of retarded brain development in children (cretinism), mental slowness, high cholesterol, lethargy, fatigue, depression, weight gain, and goiter: a swelling of the thyroid gland in the neck. The natural Potassium iodide (KI) / Iodine from Irish moss is absorbed by your body more slowly and safely than chemical or synthetic iodine. Further Irish moss helps promote an alkaline pH balance within the body and also boosts the immune system.
Iodine / Potassium iodide (KI), administered orally immediately after exposure to certain types of radiation, may be used to protect the thyroid from ingested radioactive iodine. But Potassium iodide (KI) would only be effective if the radiation contains radioactive iodine.
The application of Irish moss on the skin helps to enhance its natural moisture barrier. It may keep all sorts of harmful external elements that will harm the skin outside while leaving the beneficial moisture inside. With constant regulated use of Irish moss the skin develops better moisture retention and the ability to retain essential lipids as well. Overall the skin develops a healthy glow and appearance when treated with Irish moss.
Some possible traditional uses of Raw Organic Irish Moss Powder may include:
● Great natural source of Iodine / Potassium iodide (KI)
● Ability to scavenge chemicals, drugs, heavy metals & radioisotopes throughout the body
● May Reduce formation of varicose veins
● Combating halitosis
● Protecting against obesity
● May Deter cholesterol buildup in the body
● Polysaccharides: important in the prevention of degenerative diseases
● Fighting peptic and duodenal ulcers
● One of the richest plant sources of calcium
● Boosting metabolism
● Improving many bladder disorders
● Containing mucilaginous compounds help you detoxify
● Helping to inhibit arteriosclerosis
● More vitamin C than oranges
● Good natural source of vitamin K
● May Strengthen hair, skin & nails
● Reducing coagulation of the blood
● May Reduce hypertension
● May Support recovery from cancer & radiation poisoning
● High mineral content, especially: iodine, calcium, iron, magnesium
● Strengthens an underactive thyroid
● May be used as an emollient
● Excellent source of bioavailable iron
● May play a role in lowering risk of estrogen-related problems
● Anti-viral, anticoagulant, & antithrombotic properties
● Contains fucoidans which may have anti-inflammatory benefits
● Natural source of the mineral vanadium which appears to play a multi-faceted role in regulation of carbohydrate metabolism & blood sugar
Naturally mineral rich, powdered raw Irish moss can be easily included in practically any dish. Sprinkle it on entrees, soups and salads. Or add it to smoothies, teas and iced drinks.
Suggested Use: Take 1/4 teaspoon 1 - 3 times daily.

I just can't wait! I love the creature-types of the Star Wars Universe. So here we go, in my series of Top Ten Must Have figures, the Top Ten Jabba's Palace/Sail Barge/Skiff (anyone from Jabba's entourage. Here are my picks...
10. Fozec - One of the more distinctive of the strictly human members of Jabba's Court. Appears to be amoung the guards of the palace.
9. Yoxgit/Sic-Six Two Pack - Though refered to as Hermie Odle's assistant, it is unlikely that you would get a full-scale, articulated figure as a pack-in with a Deluxe figure as large as Hermie. A two-pack with another small character is the best bet, so I would pair him with the bizarre Muppet, Sic-Six.
8. Tanus Spiijek - This is Elom (the Mole) in earlier incarnations. A great choice as one of the more unusual Jabba's Palace couriers. A smaller, shorter character, perhaps an ideal canidate for Worrt (rock creature) as a pack-in.
7. Woof - This is the "Jabba's Palace Klaatu", the one with the sheep's wool waist wrap. A must have that should carry one of the distinctive Jabba's Palace pistols.
6. Loje Nella - Looking like a combination of an earthworm and a mushroom, this background character is a favorite of mine. Lots of possibilities with what the rest of the figure should look like. Perhaps an even better choice to have Worrt as a pack-in, or perhaps a Jawa.
5. Jess - Another of the more distinctive humans in Jabba's Court, she would make a nice counterpoint to all of the creatures. Plus you can't go wrong with a blue and white haired female character in a striking two-piece number!
4. Hermie Odle - The next Deluxe shoe-in character, Odle is HUGE and strange. We need these guys (like Ephant Mon) who are like Big Bird or Sweetums were to the other Muppets, real standouts.
3. J'Quille - Known as "Tooth Face" in early literature, this is a great choice for a Jabba's Palace grouping.
2. Yarna d'al' Gargan - Who's list won't she be on? Probably the most wanted character out there. She should include Attark (Hoover) as an accessory.
1. Bubo/Herat (Jawa) Two Pack - No surprise here. Bubo has been on my wish list for ages and I think that "Jabba's Jawa", Herat, is a must have as well. Don't forget the palm frond fan, Hasbro!
There it is, my difficult to achieve Top Ten list. The runners up were Sasha Tiel (Ishi Tib), Weequay Skiff Master, BGJ-38 (throne room droid), Cane Adiss, and Sgt. Doallyn.

http://www.cc.nih.gov/about/SeniorSt...l_emanuel.html. Also see http://blogs.abcnews.com/politicalpu...e-outrage.html which points out Zeke's long term opposition to euthanasia.
The basis for all the attacks on Zeke has been his support for advance planning directives, long supported by most Republicans until they decided that it was more fun to call such counseling (currently required by Medicare under provisions adopted with Republican leadership) "death panels". Both of my parents were allowed to die when their times came with no extraordinary efforts to prolong their bodies when their minds and souls had passed on. This was possible only because each left advance directives that expressed their desires. We could have taken advantage of all the "miracles" of modern medicine to keep their bodies technically alive for weeks or months longer.
I have prepared a similar directive and discussed this with my children to be sure they know my wishes. If you make different choices, that is you right and privilege as it should be, and I hope that you have also made those choices clear to guide those who may be forced to decide what happens if you are no longer able to direct your own care. Personally, I do not want the government or hospitals making those decisions without regard to my choices.
To seek to withhold information from people concerning the choices they may make concerning end of life care is fascism, not freedom. Is that what you support, or do you, like Zeke Emanuel, believe each person should be able to make his or her own choice? By the way, euthanasia is not a legal choice anywhere and is opposed by Zeke Emanuel. Personally, I would prefer to have that option available. I doubt that I would ever take advantage of it, but having the option would make the fight easier.

By Emily Le Coz/NEMS Daily Journal
TUPELO – The Tupelo Historic Preservation Commission, best known for its efforts to save the Spain House, will launch a nonprofit, fundraising arm with a kickoff event Thursday.
The gathering seeks to register new members while raising money for the newly created Tupelo Historic Preservation Society. Open to the public, the event is set from 5-7 p.m. at the home of Mary Connor Adcock, 1304 Lawhon Drive.
A minimum donation of $35 is required for membership, though higher funding levels are available.
The move comes seven years after the City Council formed the commission, which since then has designated several local historic landmarks and one local historic district – downtown's Mill Village. It also successfully lobbied the city to save the century-old Spain House from demolition.
Yet despite its advocacy role, the quasi-governmental group has lacked funds to tackle preservation projects of its own. So it created a sister society that, as a nonprofit, can raise money to purchase and renovate historic properties.
"We heard people say all the time, 'Why don't you do this or renovate this?,'" said commission member and new society president Karen Keeney. "But we couldn't. We're all volunteers with no operating funds. We had no ability to make a project happen. Now we will."
All proceeds raised in the first few years of the society's operation will fund restoration of the Spain House, which will be relocated from its current site on the corner of Main and Madison streets to a city-owned lot in Mill Village.
A $175,000 grant from the Mississippi Department of Archives and History will fund a majority of that move, along with help from the city and Calvary Baptist Church. But restoration will be left to the Historic Preservation Society, which also will become the home's new owner.
"I hope Spain House can be a headquarters for Historic Preservation Society and that it will be available for all historic groups," said commission member Doyce Deas. "I want it to represent the importance of historic preservation to a community."
WHAT: Tupelo Historic Preservation Society Inaugural Membership Meeting
WHEN: 5-7 p.m., Thursday
WHERE: At the historic home of Mary Connor Adcock, 1304 Lawhon Drive, Tupelo
COST: $35 to become an individual member;donations of all amounts welcome
• DONATIONS: Mail to THPS, PO Box 3115, Tupelo, MS 38803

Cast iron cleaning is something of tradition passed down to generations along with the cookware itself. Some cooks and cast iron diehards dare not let theirs near water, much less soap of any sort, and letting one rust may indeed fall into the book of unpardonable sins for some southerners.
But fear not: on a recent visit to the Lodge factory in Tennessee, I learned the proper way to restore rusty cast iron from the experts themselves. A few simple steps at home can restore rusted cast iron cookware to cook-ready condition!
How To Restore A Rusty Cast Iron Skillet:
Watch the Video
Regardless of the extent of rust, there are options beyond discarding rusted cast iron. Most commonly, neglect or moisture results in what's termed "profile rusting," which can be seen and felt on the cookware. Thankfully, profile rusting is easily removed at home in an afternoon.
For severe rust that covers most of the cookware surface, take the piece to a machine shop to have it sandblasted and restored to raw cast iron, then season immediately. You can start with step four here, or use the following tutorial:
Otherwise, for mild rust, follow the steps in this post and you're all set. If you need a little more inspiration, check out this video by Lodge Manufacturing on this same project. See? It's not that hard.
How to Restore a Rusty Cast Iron Skillet
What You Need
Steel wool
Scrubbing brush or sponge
Dish soap
Dish towel or paper towels
Vegetable oil (or cooking oil of choice)
Aluminum foil
- Remove all the rust: Use fine steel wool to remove rust from affected areas. Scour the skillet until the area returns to raw cast iron.
- Wash the skillet thoroughly: Wash the cast iron with warm water and mild dish soap. Scrub with bristle brush or mesh sponge if needed.
- Dry the skillet: Thoroughly dry the cast iron immediately with a clean dish towel or paper towels.
- Cover the pan with a coating of oil: Apply a small amount of vegetable oil (or cooking oil of choice) to the entire piece, including the bottom and handle. Use only a small amount to avoid a sticky surface.
- Place the pan in the oven: Place the cast iron upside down on the top rack of your rack. Place a sheet of aluminum foil or a foil-lined baking sheet on the bottom rack to catch any oil drips.
- Heat the pan for an hour: Heat the cast iron for one hour at 350 degrees.
- Let the pan cool before using: Turn off heat, let cast iron cool, then get back to cooking!

This is the garden at the Barringer's, located in the Poconos near the Ashokan reservoir. Very pretty area.
This is the largest gigapan I've taken - 548 images. The focus was on nearby objects, so the house and further away trees tend to be a little fuzzy at high zoom.

Wall Murals
Excellent quality and great price! Not many companies stand behind their product once they get your money. If you have any issue, they act fast to correct it. I had a small issue and their customer representative was on it. Norbert was very understanding and went out of his way to help fixed the matter. I purchased 5 murals for my business. I'm a salon owner and presentation of my salon is very important. Must look trendy, modern and I got all that from their product. Norbert helped me to finalize image selection. My salon looks so much better than just paint on the walls. I will be purchasing several more murals in a few weeks for other areas in my business. I 100% recommend pixersize!

I ordered the Game of Thrones black crow to hang over my sons bed- and it is AWESOME! I couldn't find a print large enough to fit his wall anywhere and this is perfect and the resolution of the picture is great. Shipping was fast- I ordered in Sunday and received it on Thursday- just 4 days to the US. The item was well packaged and received in perfect condition. I will be back!
