Pain and slight bleeding after cervical suture
After 2 losses, they decided to put in a cervical suture.
I had it put in Tues, under general anaesthetic, with an overnight stay in hospital. I have been released from hospital with instructions to just take it easy for a week, i'm not confined to bed rest, and have been told after a week to just forget its there and do everything i would normally do... did anyone else find this was the case when they have had this procedure? I've even been told by the ob that intercourse is fine in a couple of weeks aswell - i thought with something like this that intercourse would be a definite no no.
I had some bleeding while i was in hospital, which by wed night, had just decreased to blood in discharge, over the next few days, i still had blood in my discharge, and was a pinky brownish colour. This has happened on and off, and isn't there every time.
Last night (Fri) i started to experience bad lower back pain on the left side, the pain after a while continued around to my lower left stomach, then had a sharp pain where my leg joins my body. It was a constant pain, wasn't coming or going, and after taking a panadol gradually eased off so i could get some sleep, then woke up pain free.
As the day has gone on, i've experienced slight pain in my lower back, but it doesn't seem too bad at the moment.
I'm 16 weeks pregnant. Is lower back pain like this normal at this stage of pregnancy? Or has anyone else experienced any pain or much bleeding after having a cervical suture put in?
I hoping it may be nothing, or just normal, but because of previous losses (one at 17 weeks) i stress over any little pain i get. I experienced lower back pain, and lower abdominal pain just before i lost my last bub, but that pain came in waves and wasn't constant like this one.
Any help or advice would be greatly appreciated... don't get to see the ob until wed.

Hi Cuddoolz,
Welcome to the forums!
So sorry for the late reply. I was out of town so am just now checking posts.
I would encourage you to call your doctor with any lower back pain or cramping. I know you mentioned that you will see your doctor Wednesday and would love an update.
How have you been feeling in the past few days?
I will ask our resident midwife, Jane, to give you some feedback on whether lower back pain is normal in pregnancy.
Are you taking any herbs or vitamin/mineral supplements? I had lower back pain after I had my first baby because I didn't have enough calcium and magnesium in my system. Once I started supplementing with that, my back pain disappeared. But I'm a bit concerned about the pain at 16 weeks of pregnancy coupled with the fact that you lost one baby at 17 weeks.
Do the doctors truly feel that it is an incompetent cervix that is the cause of the miscarriages, or do they not know, and just decided to try it because it might help.
Please post back and let us know how you are doing. I can check my email frequently now and I'll subscribe to this thread so that I can reply as quickly as possible.
Warm regards,

Hi Cuddoolz - I would suggest that you contact your midwife or doctor regarding the lower back pain. They can work out if the pain is of concern or not. With anything like this don't hesitate to call them.
Some suggestions would be to consider taking a magnesium supplement (this can help settle things down). If you are experiencing discomfort submerging yourself in a deep warm bath can also help.
Back pain can be from structural causes - you could see a chiropractor or osteopath for advise.

Aussiemidwife had some great suggestions. I would definitely encourage you to see a Chiropractor or Osteopath that specializes in CranioSacral work. If your skeletal system is out of alignment and/or your cerebral spinal fluid is not flowing optimally, these things can actually contribute to the inability to get pregnant. When everything is in alignment, all bodily functions including the reproductive system work much better.
Here's a page that will help you find a Chiropractor and here's a page to help you find other practitioners in your area.
Please post back and let us know how you're doing.
Warm regards,

Thanks for the replies, for some reason i didn't get any emails letting me know i had a response. The pain eased and didn't return. I spoke to a midwife on monday about the pain, and she said that it is probably just from everything stretching. I saw the obstetrician on wednesday, and he was very pleased how everything is going, and told me i dont need to see him again for 6 weeks now. He checked the baby using an ultrasound and we could see the heart beat and bubs moving around, so everything is going well, no more spotting or anything since sun so all is well. Have a scan in a week and a half, midwives in 3 n a half weeks and obstetrician 2 weeks after that.
They don't know for sure that i have an incompetent cervix. After the last loss, we were told a heap of tests would be done to find out why its happening, but once we saw the obstetrician, he said no tests. He said by 17 weeks a loss is usually due to an infection, or an incompetent cervix. All my bloods and the tests on the baby came back showing no signs of infection, so he said we'll just assume its an incompetent cervix and put a cervical suture in and all should be well. I'm really hoping this is the answer.

Thanks for the tip.
I am pleased to say that the bleeding definitely stopped and after a few more small issues through the pregnancy our little girl arrived safely last week at 38+6 weighing 5lb 14oz

By Errol Castens/NEMS Daily Journal
OXFORD – Authorities are investigating as a homicide the death of a man whose body was found in a Lafayette County creek on Sunday.
McKenzie Darrell Frierson, 27, of Oxford, had last been seen on Jan. 31. An autopsy on Monday confirmed his identity and that he did not die of natural causes.
The body was reportedly found by youngsters exploring the creek off Old Sardis Road west of Oxford. Lafayette County Coroner Rocky Kennedy, Lafayette County sheriff's officers and members of the Mississippi Bureau of Investigation recovered the body, and the scene was searched and documented for possible evidence.
Scott Mills, chief investigator for the Lafayette County Sheriff's Department, said that the cause of death is not being publicly released while the investigation continues.
Anyone with information concerning the disappearance and death of Frierson is encouraged to call the Lafayette County Sheriff's Department at (662) 234-6421 or Oxford-Lafayette County Crime Stoppers at (662) 234-TIPS (8477).
A $1,000 Crime Stopper reward is being offered, which Mills said is expected to increase in the near future, for information that would lead to the arrest and conviction of Frierson's killer(s).
Sheriff's Investigator Alan Wilburn said Frierson's death is the county's first likely homicide since the January 2010 killing of Frank Bowie on College Hill Switch Road.
That death also remains under investigation.

There is a lady in one of the training groups I train with once in awhile that brings a mini poodle and runs the set ups with it. It's pretty fun to watch. I think it has a tough time seeing over the high grass but no issues with wanting to get the birds on land or water. It hauls out ducks that look bigger than it is. I think she says it has either a Junior or Started title with it already(not sure). She brought it with while training her other dogs and it just wanted to give it a try. I have thousands of photos of dogs retrieving. The photos of hers are the only mini poodle I have ever seen go out and get ducks.
I wonder , will they be watching birds thrown out of the wingers,or will they be the ones thrown ?

We talk to Alex Hutchinson, creative director of Ubisoft's upcoming action adventure, about historical settings, new characters and immersive combat.
What has the reception been like for Assassin's Creed III on PS3?
We couldn't be happier; we're overwhelmed by how positive everyone has been. We tried to plan a lot of things to show people the breadth of the game. We have a city demo in Boston and a naval demo. We also have a frontier demo that shows weather, trees and animals. It's been great, people are really, really positive.
Why did you decide to introduce a new character into the series?
We always wanted to do that. Our plan was always to explore pivotal moments in history, layer our fictional story over those big moments and find fresh places to explore. Hopefully, moving forward, you'll see more of this.
How is Connor Kenway connected to Desmond Miles, and will we be seeing him in this title?
We're trying to keep it a secret what we'll do with it, but if you've played the game you'll know that the big day for us is 12 December 2012, which is coming up very quickly. Our fictional story and the real-world story will cross over and there will be more Desmond than you've had before, but we're keeping the specifics under lock and key for now.
Can you tell us a bit more about Connor's weapons and how they'll be used in the game?
When we decided that Connor was a Native American he came with some nice ideas that seemed like a nice fit – like the crossbow and the tomahawk. Then he has his tools that the assassins give him, like a new spin on the hidden blades, rope darts and a few old favourites coming back too.
Previous titles have been quite tightly based on historical events and even included some famous faces – will Assassin's Creed III follow suit?
We have more information on this piece of history than we did on previous games. About 80 per cent of speaking characters in the game – there are dozens and dozens of them – are based on real historical people. Everyone is in the right place at the right time and events play out as they did then. You'll meet George Washington, Benjamin Franklin, the Marquis de Lafayette and Charles Lee – lots of famous people.
One of the new features is the naval battles – what has been the reaction to that so far?
I think with a big popular series people are both desperate for change and a little scared of change. We were curious to see how people would respond and it's been overwhelmingly positive so far. It looks beautiful. It's still built around navigation, combat and action adventure so it's very much in line with the core gameplay.
How involved have you been in Assassin's Creed III Liberation on PlayStation Vita?
It's connected to Assassin's Creed III and we've worked on the story. They're inheriting a lot of our technology and gameplay innovation so in a weird way we all worked on it as well. We're just trying to make sure that it works within the Assassin's Creed universe.
Assassin's Creed III comes to PlayStation 3 on 31 October 2012. Keep up with all the latest news on the upcoming blockbuster at playstation.co.nz and PlayStation.Blog.

Ahhhh... a fresh new forum for a fresh new toyline. And one that has me interested in buying Star Wars again. Something that I haven't done really since a couple years after RotS outside of every Jar Jar figure, Jocasta Nu, and the Jedi Force line. So let's kick things off with everyone's favorite wish list.
I'll keep this thread updated as much as I can. So list your Top 10 Figures!

I just bought the 3 hybrid today, I was not hitting it really well in the hitting bay but decided to buy it anyway cause i thought it was more my swing and not the club and besides 100% store credit if i didn't like it. WOW I'm glad i took it. I went to play a round of golf right after and the ball just flew off the face amazing feel and distance. i was barely swinging this club and it went about 200 yards every time. You will not be disappointed. I am about to go back in a couple days and buy the the 4 hybrid that's how awesome it is.
I was a little "in the air" on using hybrids so I bought these ones used and they didn't disappoint. I don't even keep standard fairway woods in my bag now....I use these instead. They seem to hit so true that it has actually gave me so much more confidence off of the fairway with great ball striking and distance to match!
Very nice
Great clubs!
It's a little too long for me as a replacement iron, but as a forgiving wood replacement it fits nicely.

The Oregon State baseball team is headed to Omaha for the College World Series for the fourth time in nine seasons. That's a remarkable accomplishment for a school in the cold, rainy Pacific Northwest.
The Beavers will open this year's CWS against Mississippi State in the first game Saturday.
The last time Mississippi State played at the CWS was in 2007, the year Oregon State completed its amazing feat of back-to-back national championships. The Beavers defeated North Carolina (which is also in this year's CWS field) for the title in 2006 and '07.
Until you spend a winter and spring in Oregon and watch some youth league, high school and college baseball, it's hard to comprehend what an achievement Oregon State's rise in NCAA Division I baseball says about the program in Corvallis, Ore. There is a reason people up here say summer starts on July 5. The rainy season starts while Halloween and Thanksgiving decorations are the color schemes in stores, and it often doesn't end until deep into what people in the South call "summer." Sometimes a full week goes by without high school teams being able to play games, and it's an accomplishment in itself to play something close to a full schedule.
There are teams with synthetic playing surfaces, and that helps. Such is the case at Oregon State. But that doesn't solve the problem of wet baseballs, slippery bats and soaked outfields.
When Oregon State played in Omaha in 2005, it was the first CWS appearance by the Beavers since 1952. Standing near home plate during batting practice a day or two before the Series, I spoke briefly with Harold Reynolds, a Corvallis native and former major league ballplayer. He didn't play at Oregon State, but having lived near the school he could appreciate the odds overcome by the Beavers to reach the final eight in Division I.
A few years ago, I again spoke with Reynolds, this time for a story about three pitchers from McMinnville (not far from Corvallis) who were in minor league baseball. All three had pitched at Oregon State. One, Joe Paterson, was on the verge of making his major league debut with the Arizona Diamondbacks. Reynolds said some surprising things during the interview about players from cold, rainy parts of the country. He said it's actually an advantage in some ways, because you're forced indoors quite a bit -- and forced to work more on the fundamentals than simply playing games every day. He said some players from sunny parts of the country don't spend as much time on the fundamentals because they're playing games all the time.
It was an interesting take, and one I ran past Scott Brosius, the head coach at Linfield College. Brosius, a former All-Star and World Series MVP with the New York Yankees, agreed with Reynolds about how living in the Pacific Northwest can help rather than hinder a player's development. Brosius also grew up in Oregon and made it to the big leagues, and wouldn't you know it? His Linfield College team won the NCAA Division III national championship a few weeks ago.
I saw Oregon State's first College World Series game in 2005 while in Omaha covering the Tulane baseball team's appearance there. The Green Wave defeated the Beavers before eventually losing to Texas and Baylor. I watched Oregon State practice on synthetic turf on a really hot day in Omaha, but I really couldn't understand where the Beavers were coming from. Having lived in the Pacific Northwest for almost three years now, I can see it so much better in hindsight. The natives see it even better than I do. Sure, there are some advantages to their situation, as Reynolds and Brosius pointed out, but there's no denying the odds are against a program in the North or Pacific Northwest winning the Division I college baseball championship.
A look at past winners of the College World Series clearly shows that.
Just look at the champions from the past 15 years: Arizona, South Carolina (back-to-back), LSU, Fresno State, Oregon State (back-to-back), Texas, Cal State Fullerton, Rice, Texas, Miami, LSU, Miami and USC.
Then, check the list of all-time winners and see how few champions there are from outside the South, Southwest or southern California. Not many.
Oregon State's success in the past nine seasons is one of the best stories in college sports, and if you don't believe me, come and visit in March and April one year and catch as many baseball games as you can. You'll see what I mean.
But bring your wet-weather gear, and something dry to sit on.

The reason I don't use the diagonals much is because the diagonal is everything that is in between the horizontal and the vertical stated, whereas I've come to believe that in my work, the best way for me to represent everything in between is not to state it, to capture it by stating the two ends, and somehow imply everything in between. The diagonal insinuates itself, that's another thing. It's an insinuating form.

Kribensis Pair
Hello! Just some questions about Krib pairs. I bought a male and female Krib from my LFS which settled in quite nicely in my 60L. The male was slightly smaller than the female which I was a bit concerned about but they were acting fine together in the LFS and initially in their new home. That was until I fed them and the female decided to take a disliking to my male. She would chase him whenever she saw him and would nip at him. I was considering taking them back to my LFS. Then one day, starting off with her still chasing him, they suddenly were ok with each other and started shaking at each other. The female's stomach turned the characteristic red and now they're always with eachother. It seems to me that they've paired now but I may be wrong.
My question is: is it normal for a pair to happen were the male is smaller than the female? I know females are meant to always want large males. Also, what made her suddenly change her mind?
it could be that she has changed her mind because there is no other male in the tank...
if two (male/female) humans were the only survivors after an apocalyptic event, then they
likely will EVENTUALLY fall in love too, even if the male were a particularly ugly specimen.
normally cichlids can be choosy so the normal procedure for getting a pair
of cichlids is to buy 6+ youngsters and let them choose on their own, so you
were lucky on your purchase.
60 liters is a bit small for a mating pair of kribs though, especially if your want tankmates.
I personally would not keep kribensis in less than 125 liters...

Yeah that makes sense, didn't think fish as stubborn as Kribs would be like that though!
I do have backup plans in case things do get nasty in the tank, my parents have a 110L tank which they could be moved to and my LFS have said they will take in fish if necessary. For now though they are getting along well with the other residents!
They temd to accept most partners when kept in pairs as long as extremes are avoided.Do as I say. Not as I do.
they will do fine for a while, but well, the kribs have paired up for a reason, and
once they feel that their eggs and babies need protection the other tank mates will need room to evade the aggression.

I've had experience with Kribs breeding before and I know what they can get like so I'll do something about it. The other residents stay away from their area of the tank anyway as their area is more suited to them.

LAST RESORT | ABC, Thursdays @ 8 | Premieres September 26
Andre Braugher's new show, Last Resort, comes with an intriguing premise: a crew of a nuclear submarine defies orders to fire on Pakistan and sets up shop on a remote island. It pairs him with an executive producer, Shield creator Shawn Ryan, who's worthy of his talents. And, while there are indications of a possible conspiracy at work, the focus here is squarely on the characters rather than any kind of overarching mythology.

For kids and adults 2400mg and for middle aged and up 1500 which is really hard to hit.
I have read the average person eats about 3500 a day here in the US. Processed food is just full of sodium.
but again..how bad do you want to lose weight? how bad will you feel if that processed food you've been eating has been sabotaging you the entire time?
At subway right now for lunch.
I walk everyday around the neighborhood at a 4 mph pace for at least an hour. If not I walk for an hour same pace on the treadmill with the incline at 9 degrees. I watch Food Network while Im doing this.
Myth- What have you done to lose the weight. Any certain diet plan/workout routine?
. If not I walk for an hour same pace on the treadmill with the incline at 9 degrees
Are you doing a lot of cardio/weight training on top of that to lose?
At the same time as I worry about eating to many calories/day, I also worry about not eating enough. I heard that eating to few cals can deter weight loss as well. You haven't had any issues with this?
but varying the calories (tons of sites explain this) will help keep your body off-balance and losing weight.
Now that I have lost over 70 pounds and my blood pressure appears to be under control, I will slowly start adding exercise, but I have been in terrible shape for a long time so it will take time to get into any semblance of decent shape.
Check out the Couch to 5K plan I linked earlier.
This is why I feel no guilt the couple of time I go out each month to dinner with friends. It is the metabolic confusion meal.
So I don't count those nights as cheats.
Check out the Couch to 5K plan I linked earlier... I wasn't in shite for shape and now in less than two months I'm running 2+ miles multiple times per week with no problem. It works, for real... the whole point is to build your endurance up slowly so you don't burn yourself out early and start to hate it.

I am new to the post. I love turkey hunting. I'd rather turkey hunt than to eat when i am hungry. I have been hunting for a few years now, and have been able to harvest a few beautiful birds and tons of hunting fun. Trying to learn more and more. We did not have turkeys around when i was growing up so i am having to learn now. I have had buck fever growing up deer hunting, but it has NEVER compared to the rush of a thundering gobble at the break of sunrise on a cool April morning. Totally awesome. I pray that i can gain some knowledge for the people here. I am intrested in videoing some of my hunts for myself, does anyone know what some good cameras are to get started with?

I got bit by the retriever bug in 1963.
I had meat dogs since 1975. In 2008 I was with a training group training a new meat dog. The fellow heading the group suggested we all enter a Junior Hunt Test. I did not want to do it. He finally convinced me and the hook was set. Took that dog to a Master title and now have a 2 year old getting ready to run Senior, An 8 month old ready for Junior, and a new Ainley Chassis Mount on the way. Guess I'm addicted!

I was in Birmingham orthopaedic hospital having my knee reconstructed after a Rugby injury; took about six weeks with all sorts of complications. Not only did I see every game on TV (twice!) but I read the late Peter Moxons book on dog training which set me off into the world of Springers. At heart I'm still a Springer bloke, but retrievers are all I have at the moment. I think my addiction is with dogs generally not just retrievers, I love watching hounds work in a pack, and some of the shepherding collies round here are wonderfully clever animals.

Thank you, very kind, Mine's a pint.
I had gotten Gabe, a golden, as a pet around 1980. I was never allowed to have a dog as a kid. I had started hunting, without the dog, but without much luck. I then went to an LIGRC Field Trial. I went home and started training Gabe, got Free's book and Wolter's book and trained with the LIGRC a bit. I then started pheasant hunting and grouse hunting and actually finding birds and retrieving them. Then hunt testing started and our club got involved with that. My end game has always been hunting with a well tained dog but I always had my eyes on HT's and FT's. And I love the challenge of training a high flying dog.

This isn't exactly a diorama, it's definitely not a custom, but it's kinda an action figure-statue and I really like it. I set it up on my desk yesterday and I can't get enough of it. I think the "action" in "Action Figures" spoke to me and when I realized how I could have Maul held up in the air, I had to try it... and it worked! Originally, it worked without the clear rubber band because Maul's saber was OVER Plo's arm, but it was a bit too fragile and it seemed like Maul wouldn't have a hard time cracking Plo in the face that way. So check out the pics I took and enjoy!
BTW, I think Hasbro could do a killer 2-pack set like this with Vader choking Captain Antilles. Antilles could have hinged ankles to have the "dangling dead" look.

Bring a touch of Italy to the dinner table with a delicious pasta salad bursting with cheese, salami, olives and tomatoes.
Make this salad a day ahead, but wait to stir in the lettuce, croutons and Parmesan topping until just before serving.
Make it your way. Use a 3.5-ounce package of sliced pepperoni instead of the salami; cut the slices in half. Add canned (drained) artichoke hearts, or use other olives from the deli.
Purchase a bag of ready-to-eat torn romaine lettuce to save time.

I don't want you to think that Hershey is a horrible place. Chocolatetown USA, as it's known, is pretty, neat, and overall quite pleasant. There are surrounding dairy fields and rolling meadows full of corn. There are big red barns and there are the Amish. The air no longer smells like chocolate as the main plant has moved from the town centre proper (yes it was named for its founder Milton Hershey and his chocolate) but if like many people from outside the area you dislike Hershey's chocolate… maybe that's a good thing.
Do enough of the family/couple oriented activities on your own, particularly when you'd envisaged doing them not-alone, and it can be quite a lonely city. No. Not quite. Very. A very lonely city. Hersheypark, chocolate world and the many lovely restaurants are not that exciting on your own. Waitresses and hostesses are baffled you're dining alone (it's THAT kind of town). Hiking in the Pennsylvania backwoods is downright spooky with no one beside you. Without pepper spray OR a gun.
All this is coming from a girl who usually has no problem whatsoever being on her onesie. As you've well read, in fact.
Before you form any opinions on the place and its inhabitants (and the inhabitants of nearby towns), I do want to tell you two interesting things about Hershey. The first being the Amish community that exists in nearby Lancaster and surrounds. It baffles me that they accommodate tourists coming through in so many ways, but maybe by providing these facilitated activities (bake shops, quilt stores, buggy rides, farm visits) it stops tourists from charging through the backroads into private places we're not welcome .
On my visit to Amish country, I take the quick 40 minute drive from Hershey to 'Intercourse', PA. That's the other thing about the Amish. 'Intercourse' is not far from 'Blue Ball' and 'Paradise'… hmmmm… Anyhow, I opt to take a buggy ride with a local guide, using a company recommended to me by Will, who runs the first bed and breakfast I stayed in. The company is renowned for its personalized tours and knowledgeable guides so I jump in one led by Lonny the pony driven by Daveid, my Amish guide. I don't know if Daveid was having an off day, or if he thought I wasn't interested, or if the American reviewers didn't want as much information as me… but I DID notice the cows he pointed out to me already. And that there was a dairy farm ahead. And that we were passing corn. I didn't know there was tobacco in the barn we passed though. So that was one tidbit he did give me.
I shouldn't be so hard on him. He did take me to an Amish house where I could view some arts and crafts and when I pressed him a little on Amish life he got talking a tad. Also, he is Amish after all. There could potentially be quite a problem here with the buggies and a FOUR DONKEY TRACTOR I get stuck behind in my car later in the day (though I'm politely waved past when it's safe) but Daveid assures me there aren't usually any bingles!
The other neat thing about Hershey is actually to do with Milton Hershey himself. He's the founder of Hershey's chocolate, and the town. He only completed grade 4. He didn't come from a rich family. His story is pretty typical 'American Dream' 'Rags to Riches' type stuff, and I won't go into it. The thing about Hershey though is he actually did some pretty neat stuff and had a really unique way of thinking (shame his chocolate tastes like mouldy ass).
He really won me over, this guy. So listen up.
Firstly, Milton Hershey's lasting legacy is in the Milton Hershey School. Unable to have kids with the love of his life, Kitty, they set up the school for underprivileged boys. The boys were housed, fed, clothed and all their schooling was paid for as well as their medical expenses (important in this wacky country).
After Kitty died, Hershey invested more and more in the school. It grew and grew (it and the housing for the kids take up a fair chunk of the town!) eventually going co-ed and welcoming kids in real need from all over the nation. Graduates receive the same traditional gifts today that the original kids did - $100, a suit and a set of luggage. They now receive more though - if they continue their schooling into University they receive a laptop computer for their studies, and if they have a C average or better and have exhibited good behavior they also get an $88,000 scholarship to any university they wish to attend in the whole world. The goal is to set these kids up to have a better life than they would have in their birth circumstances, and some of these kids have gone on to be among the nation's best and brightest.
When he died, Hershey left his entire fortune to the school in a trust that is now worth tens of billions of dollars. The school owns 100% of the entertainment, arena, stadium, Hershey park and chocolate profits. And 100% of those profits go into the school - helping underprivileged American kids today get started on the road to a better life. Next time you buy a Hershey bar (not likely), lift the flap at the back before you tear it open, and you'll find a thank you from the school. It did make me go buy a few bars of ass-chocolate for sharing later. I'll admit. I held my nose and wolfed it down. You know. For the kids.
Hershey was big on getting people back on their feet. He didn't think Reese's peanut butter cups would sell (Reese worked for him) but he still helped him get set up to mass produce them and provided all the chocolate at a hugely discounted cost (Hershey later bought Reese's company in the 1960s and the peanut butter cup is still the Hershey company's number one selling product… OOPS MILTON). There is also a town in Cuba called Central Hershey. Devastated by Kitty's death, Milton traveled there to get away from it all. Appalled by the living conditions, he bought the sugar fields, created a business and jobs, built a hospital and a school and helped the town become independent again.
When he came back to Hershey during the depression he didn't want people to suffer so he created more work where he could, building and expanding the Hotel Hershey and Hershey Park (which housed his pet elephant named what else but "Cocoa"). A famous story from the time is when a business associate came to him with word of a new invention. "Milton!" he exclaimed, "there's this great new machine we can get hold of to help build the Hotel Hershey! The steam shovel! It does the work of 40 men!!"
"Brilliant!" Hershey replied. "Get rid of it, and give jobs to 40 men!"
It's this hotel, the Hotel Hershey, where I find myself at dinner one night. I chose to eat here because I was won over by one final story about Mr Hershey. It really resonated with me.
You see, the dining room at the Hotel Hershey is circular.
There are no corners.
If there's one thing Milton Hershey hated, it was being shoved away by the hostess in the corner of a restaurant just because he was dining alone. He created his circular dining room so that there were no corners to stow lonely diners away in, and you would never feel bad eating there by yourself. He was the original Patrick Swayze. Nobody puts Baby in the corner at the Hotel Hershey!
So there I was. Alone in Chocolatetown. On the verge of tears every time a hostess had said "Oh just one?!?".
But somehow… a long-dead, brilliant-minded, elephant-loving chocolate entrepreneur from deep Pennsyl-tuckey had foreseen this. He knew what it was to be alone in this town. He had felt what I felt. And he had my back.
So I took my seat in his circular dining room, raised my glass, held my nose… and sucked down my Hershey's kiss martini. Cheers to you, dear old Mr Hershey.
Have a sweet day.

The Bishop and the Caterpillar
I loved this story as a child.
by Mary E Manners
The Bishop sat in the Schoolmaster's chair :
The Rector, and Curates two, were there,
The Doctor, the Squire,
The heads of the Choir,
And the Gentry around of high degree,
A highly distinguished company;
For the Bishop was greatly beloved in his See !
And there, below,
A goodly show,
Their faces with soap and with pleasure aglow,
Sat the dear little school-children, row upon row ;
For the Bishop had said ('twas the death-blow to schism).
He would hear those dear children their Catechism.
And then to complete
The pleasure so sweet
Of these nice little children so pretty and neat,
He'd invited them to a magnificent treat !
And filled were the minds of these dear little ones
With visions of cakes, and of "gay Sally Lunns,"
Of oceans of tea, and unlimited buns
(The large ones called " Bath," not the plain penny ones).
I think I have read,
Or at least heard it said :
"Boys are always in mischief, unless they're in bed."
I put it to you,
I don't say it's true,
But if you should ask for my own private view,
I should answer at once, without further ado :
"I don't think a boy can be trusted to keep
From mischief in bed — unless he's asleep!"
But the Schoolmaster's eye hath a magic spell,
And the boys were behaving remarkably well —
For boys ; and the girls — but 'tis needless to say
Their conduct was perfect in every way ;
For I'm sure 'tis well known in all ranks of society.
That girls always behave with the utmost propriety.
Now the Bishop arises, and waves his hand ;
And the children prepared for his questions stand ;
With admiring eyes his form they scan ;
He was a remarkably fine-looking man !
His apron was silk of the blackest dye,
His lawn the finest money could buy ;
His sleeves and his ruffles than snow were whiter,
He'd his best shovel-hat, and his second-best mitre.
With benignant glance he gazed around —
You might have heard the slightest sound ! —
With dignified mien and solemn look
He slowly opened his ponderous book,
And proceeded at once the knowledge to try
Of those nice little children standing by.
Each child knew its name.
And who gave it the same.
And all the rest of the questions profound
Which his Lordship was pleased to the school to propound.
Nor less did secular knowledge abound.
For the Bishop, to his great pleasure, found
That they knew the date when our Queen was crowned,
And the number of pence which make up a pound ;
And the oceans and seas which our island bound ;
That the earth is nearly, but not quite, round ;
Their orthography, also, was equally sound,
And the Bishop, at last, completely astound-
Ed, cried.
In a tone of pride,
"You bright little dears, no question can trouble you,
You've spelled knife with a K! and wrong with a W!
And now that my pleasing task's at an end,
I trust you will make of me a friend :
You've answered my questions, and 'tis but fair
That I in replying should take a share ;
So if there is aught you would like to know.
Pray ask me about it before I go.
I'm sure it would give me the greatest pleasure
To add to your knowledge, for learning's a treasure
Which you never can lose, and which no one can steal;
It grows by imparting, so do not feel
Afraid or shy.
But boldly try.
Which is the cleverer, you or I!"
Thus amusement with learning judiciously blending,
His Lordship made of his speech an ending.
And a murmur went round of "How condescending!"
But one bright little boy didn't care a jot
If his Lordship were condescending or not ;
For, with scarce a pause
For the sounds of applause,
He raised his head,
And abruptly said :
"How many legs has a Caterpillar got ? "
Now the Bishop was a learned man,
Bishops always were since the race began,
But his knowledge in that particular line
Was less than yours, and no greater than mine ;
And, except that he knew the creature could crawl.
He knew nothing about its legs at all —
Whether the number were great or small,
One hundred, or five, or sixty, or six, —
So he felt in a "pretty consid'rable fix!"
But, resolving his ignorance to hide.
In measured tones he thus replied :
"The Caterpillar, my dear little boy,
Is an emblem of life and a vision of joy !
It bursts from its shell on a bright green leaf,
It knows no care and it feels no grief."
Then he turned to the Rector and whispered low, -
"Mr. Rector, how many ? You surely must know."
But the Rector gravely shook his head,
He hadn't the faintest idea, he said.
So the Bishop turned to the class again,
And in tones paternal took up the strain :
"The Caterpillar, dear children, see.
On its bright green leaf from care lives free.
And it eats, and eats, and grows bigger and bigger,
(Perhaps the Curates can state the figure?)"
But the Curates couldn't; the Bishop went on.
Though he felt that another chance was gone.
"So it eats, and eats, and it grows and grows,
(Just ask the Schoolmaster if he knows.)"
But the Schoolmaster said that that kind of knowledge
Was not the sort he had learned at college.
"And when it has eaten enough, then soon
It spins for itself a soft cocoon,
And then it becomes a chrysalis —
I wonder which child can spell me this ?
'Tis rather a difficult word to spell —
(Just ask the Schoolmistress if she can tell.) "
But the Schoolmistress said, as she shook her grey curls,
She considered such things were not proper for girls.
The word was spelled, and spelled quite right,
Those nice little boys were so awfully bright !
And the Bishop began to get into a fright,
His face grew red — it was formerly white —
And the hair on his head stood nearly upright ;
He was almost inclined to take refuge in flight,
But he thought that would be too shocking a sight ;
He was at his wits' end — nearly — not quite,
For the Pupil Teachers caught his eye.
He thought they might know — at least he would try-
Then he anxiously waited for their reply :
But the Pupil Teachers enjoyed the fun,
And they wouldn't have told if they could have done.
So he said to the Beadle, "Go down in the street,
And stop all the people you chance to meet,
I don't care who,
Any one will do ;
The old woman selling lollipops.
The little boys playing with marbles and tops,
Or respectable people who deal at the shops ;
The crossing-sweeper, the organ-grinder,
Or the fortune-teller, if you can find her.
Ask any or all,
Short or tall,
Great or small, it matters not —
How many legs has a Caterpillar got ? "
The Beadle bowed, and was off like a shot
From a pop-gun fired, or that classical arrow
Which flew from the bow of the wicked cock-sparrow.
Now the Bishop again put on a smile,
And the children, who had been waiting meanwhile,
In their innocent hearts imagined that these
Remarks applied
(They were spoken aside)
To the weighty affairs of the Diocese.
"The Caterpillar is doomed to sleep
For months — a slumber long and deep.
Brown and dead
It looks, 'tis said,
It never even requires to be fed ;
And, except that sometimes it waggles its head,
Your utmost efforts would surely fail
To distinguish the creature's head from its tail.
But one morning in spring,
When the birds loudly sing,
And the earth is gay with blossoming ;
When the violets blue
Are wet with dew,
And the sky wears the sweetest cerulean hue !
When on all is seen
The brightest sheen —
When the daisies are white, and the grass is green ;
Then the chrysalis breaks,
The insect awakes, —
To the realms of air its way it takes ;
It did not die,
It soars on high,
A bright and a beauteous butterfly ! "
Here he paused and wiped a tear from his eye ;
The Beadle was quietly standing by,
And perceiving the lecture had reached its close,
Whispered, softly and sadly, "Nobody knows ! "
The Bishop saw his last hope was vain,
But to make the best of it he was fain ;
So he added, "Dear children, we ever should be
Prepared to learn from all we see,
And beautiful thoughts of hope and joy
Fill the heart, I know, of each girl and boy !
Oh, ponder on these, and you will not care
To know the exact allotted share
Of legs the creature possessed at its birth.
When it crawled, a mean worm, on this lowly earth.
Yet, if you know it, you now may tell,
Your answers so far have pleased me well."
Then he looked around with benignant eye,
Nor long did he wait for the reply.
For the bright little boy, with a countenance gay.
Said, "Six, for I counted 'em yesterday ! "
To all who have children under their care,
Of two things, nay, three things, I pray you beware —
Don't give them too many "unlimited buns,"
Six each (Bath) is sufficient, or twelve penny ones ;
Don't let them go in for examination,
Unless you have given them due preparation.
Or the questions, asked with the kindest intention,
May be rather a strain on their powers of invention.
Don't pretend you know everything under the sun,
Though your school-days are ended, and theirs but begun.
But honestly say, when the case is so,
"This thing, my dear children, I do not know ; "
For they really must learn, either slower or speedier,
That you're not a walking Encyclopaedia!

Thin Line
By Tim McGivern
We got game. In a glowing review of last month's grand opening of the National Hispanic Cultural Center's new Roy E. Disney performing arts center, a Los Angeles Times caption on Sept. 21 asks: "But why couldn't it be in Southern California?"
Times reviewer Agustin Gurza calls Barelas an "unassuming barrio (that) can boast what some consider the country's premier venue devoted to Latinos in the performing arts." But the review then segues from praise to a bit of sour grapes. "For Southern California's undernourished Latino cultural scene, New Mexico's success has served as a model—and an embarrassment. How could the Land of Enchantment, one of the poorest states in the union with a fraction of California's population, be so far ahead on the Latino cultural front? More important, how could Los Angeles be so far behind Albuquerque, a fast-growing but still provincial town of about 500,000?"
Provincial? Well, we might be geographically isolated, but nobody can call the folks that put this crown jewel together narrow-minded. If you haven't checked it out, you owe it to yourself to go.
Dot-com, dot-org what's the difference? Even when Dick Cheney tried to be sincere during last week's vice presidential debate, he had trouble with the facts. When he suggested Americans go to Factcheck.com to learn the truth about his Halliburton connections, the website turned out to be a soapbox for George Soros, a billionaire-
So, in fairness to the vice president, I checked the record at FactCheck.org, the Web domain that Cheney rightly noted is run by the University of Pennsylvania's Annenberg Public Policy Center. But this nonpartisan, truth-filtering website was not kind to Cheney either. In summarizing the Oct. 5 vice presidential debate, the website states: "Cheney got our domain name wrong and wrongly implied that we had rebutted allegations Edwards was making about what Cheney had done as chief executive officer of Halliburton. ... Edwards was talking about Cheney's responsibility for earlier Halliburton troubles (before he became vice president). And in fact, Edwards was mostly right."
What Cheney wanted viewers to see was a Sept. 30 posting that highlighted a number of falsehoods in a television ad paid for by the Kerry campaign regarding Cheney's financial connections to Halliburton while vice president. But by the time folks finished reading Soros' diatribe against the Bush administration, then clicked over to FactCheck.org (the Soros site generously linked to it), the article Cheney attempted to reference had been archived, and the lead story focused on his whoppers during the debate. Ol' Cheney, it seems, just couldn't get a break on this one.

HOUSTON — Kenny Hilliard knows what it's like to be thrown into the fire in LSU's offense.
In the summer of 2011, the Patterson native arrived in Baton Rouge as a four-star recruit who had set the state high school record for career rushing yards. All eyes were on him the second he stepped on campus.
Little did he know that his presence wouldn't be felt until later on: Hilliard only had two carries for 3 yards in the 2011 season opener against Oregon in Arlington, Texas. It wasn't until seven weeks later against Auburn that he would post more than 50 rushing yards.
So when Hilliard stood with his teammates on the sideline and watched freshman Leonard Fournette struggle to find open space Saturday against Wisconsin, he knew what he had to say to reach the Class of 2014's top recruit.
"You've just got to stay humble with everything," Hilliard said after LSU's 28-24 victory. "Just stay praying, and just work."
LSU coach Les Miles certainly gave Fournette opportunities at NRG Stadium, but the St. Augustine product was consistently stuffed at the line of scrimmage. When the final whistle blew, he finished with eight carries for 18 yards — not including a failed pitch that resulted in a loss of 11 yards.
It wasn't the superstar debut most LSU fans were hoping for, but with veterans like Hilliard and Terrence Magee in the backfield, Saturday's performance likely will be used as a teaching tool.
"That's how it was for us when we were coming in," Hilliard said. "Guys like Alfred Blue, Spencer Ware and Michael Ford were able to take us underneath their wings and show us the way. That's what we're here for. We're here to help lift each other up and stay positive."
Jennings not fazed
Outside of one play — an 80-yard heave to receiver Travin Dural — sophomore quarterback Anthony Jennings had a first half to forget against Wisconsin.
Jennings completed 5 of 15 passes for 120 yards before halftime. And with 4:21 left in the second quarter, freshman Brandon Harris made his first appearance as a Tiger on the squad's eighth offensive possession.
Jennings said he was rooting for his teammate when Harris jogged into the huddle.
"That's going to be the choice that they have," Jennings said. "I have great confidence in him, and he's done great things so far. He knows the offense very well, and with him being in there, it gives us a little change up."
Like Fournette, Harris' much-anticipated debut was a quiet outing. He lasted just one series, giving a handoff to fellow freshman Trey Quinn before being sacked on consecutive plays.
Miles went back to Jennings for the rest of the contest. Jennings said the freshman shouldn't dwell on Saturday's outing for long.
"You just have to calm it down and continue to work with the process," he said. "It always works out."
The past is in the past
Junior safety Jalen Mills is ready to move forward.
After an offseason of off-the-field trouble — most notably his May arrest for knocking a woman unconscious, which resulted in a suspension from team activities until August — the DeSoto, Texas, native wanted to be a starter for the squad's season opener.
Miles gave Mills the nod, and he finished with four tackles (one for loss) and a critical interception in the fourth quarter. Mills said getting through that first game was vital.
"It was very important just getting back in the swing of things because I missed all summer," Mills said. "I came into camp and had to hit my playbook and practice hard. I'm just trying to work for my team."
Dural finished with three catches for 151 yards. All 10 of his career catches have resulted in a touchdown or a first down. ... Hilliard had his fourth 100-yard rushing effort of his career and his first since September 2012. ... Badgers defensive lineman Konrad Zagzebski, who was motionless and carted off the field after a first-quarter collision with Hilliard, was released from the hospital and traveled home with the team, the Wisconsin athletic department said. No details about his injury were released.

The itch is starting to get really bad now. It is less than 2 months away for me and my first turkey hunt of the season. March 29 will be my first time out this year, and it will be a great hunt as always. This year even more so than ever. It will be with our Learn To Hunt, with a first time hunter, and with Curtis Goettsch of Mossy Oak and Woodhaven. A camera will be rolling and Lord willing we will be taping an ecstatic kid who just shot their first turkey. I have started playing with the calls and agravating my wife, but hey, that is part of my job. Plus this will be the first year that my youngest daughter gets to go turkey hunting. She is excited and can't wait.
So my question to all of you is, what are you most looking forward to this season? I know we all just want to get out there and do this thing we love so much. This thing that some people just don't understand. The reason we get up early(sometimes earlier on the weekends than we do for work all week) for countless days in a row. It is a marathon for some with as many weeks as possible we can hunt.
I look forward to the smile on that newbies face as they put that tag on the turkey for the first time, and know it probably won't be the last time. Knowing I just helped seal the deal, helped give them this disease I have. But a good thing it is!! It can't come soon enough!!

Go out to the farm in the late afternoon and help Jai's nephew Tia with some ploughing using the 'iron buffalo'. These small tractors have replaced the erstwhile beast of burden that they are named after. Any buffaloes around here now are strictly for meat. They are just preparing the land to plant manioc/cassava which is one of the few real cash crops that they can grow here. The money it yields isnt great but ... Jai goes to check out the rice and finds that it has a 'fly' which isnt welcome at all.
I have been asked about what the cows are like here so I attach a photo. The price of cattle is right down at the moment but I have no idea how it compares to the UK or elsewhere. The 2 cows in the photo are about 7 months old and would sell for about 55GBP. When fully grown they still wouldnt have much meat on them but would retail at about 100GBP
Khamnadie has its own village market on a Tuesday and Saturday evening when the locals gather to sell their own produce,. Today sees the first Thursday evening market on a new site on the far side of the village, under a roof, on concrete with electric and water on tap - very posh, better than some of the houses !! We have to go and check it out as Jai has a mind to sell cakes later on. The market has not received much publicity and is very quiet tonight. With our week in Laos not very far away now we will leave things until our return and see if they have picked up before launching into the catering business.
Stop to visit Jai's garnd daughter on our way home and scrounge some flowers from their neighbour.

all of my love
I was fortunate enough to see them January 20, 1975 Chicago Stadium (my sweet 16) and again on April 10, 1977 at the same venue. They did play part of Dazed and Confused at the '77 show. I have photos of Jimmy using the bow while standing in a green laser light pyramid that danced around him. For each chord Jimmy smacked the strings and then pointed the bow to each direction, north, south, east, and west, one by one, freezing for a moment before turning to the next direction, pointing it up and out like a shredded sword. We all went absolutely berserk!
I bought a t-shirt in the lobby and it is a white short sleeved with a black Swan Song logo on it, a reverse of the common black one in the '1977 Tour Shirts' memorabilia list. I still have that t-shirt, the brown '75 t-shirt, and both ticket stubs.
I love them. Waiting for THE tour. Please and thank you.

I am continuing my 3 3/4" vehicle thread series.
This will discuss ONLY the vehicle in the title of the thread (in this case Luke Skywalker's Landspeeder).
I will cover several unmade vehicles for the action figures per week, choosing them from a rotating schedule through the movies and the Expanded Universe.
I'll order it TPM, AOTC, ROTS, ANH, ESB, ROTJ, EU, and then keep going back through the order in that manner.
So here I'm only asking you if you'd buy Luke Skywalker's Landspeeder from ANH?
This poll was another by request.
I must add that while I don't support it, I believe Luke's Landspeeder has not been seen at retail since 2002 or 2003, so it's re-release couldn't hurt.
I don't think they should spend new tooling costs on making yet another one.
That Saga 1 Toys R Us exclusive Landspeeder was a completely new sculpt I believe.
If you want this vehicle made or released again, I think you should describe how you envision it.
I'm not sure we need another release with Luke, Obi-Wan, R2 and C-3PO while Resurgence of the Jedi is still on the shelves.
But do you want Luke Skywalker's Landspeeder re-made?
How do you think it would sell if produced?

|While this bill would not effect large profitable dams out west it would strangle us here on the east coast. For instance, the dams on the Presumpscot River in Maine do not have fish passage. Most of these dams, (and many throughout New England) have profits of under 250k per year. If this bill is passed the dams owner ( SAPPI, South African Pulp and Paper) could succesfuly argue that they should not have to pay 4 million for a fishlift if the dam only makes a quarter million per year. That stinks, many of these dams like the ones on the Presumpscot, Kennebec and Sebasticook are owned by multi billion dollar corporations, their feet need to be held to the fire on these issues. Put up the passage or pull down the dam (preferably the latter).
One dam on the Columbia just put in a 160 million dollar smolt by pass system that looks like it may actually work.
Yup I said $160,000,000. The utility company who owns the dam will be able to use 10% more water during the 60 day smolt migration period. The amount of profit from being able to use 10% more water to make power will be at least $800,000 per day. Yup that's right $800,000 more profit per day than if they could not use that 10%. If it is a 60 day window on by pass then this power company will in theory be able to pay off the project in about 3.3 years.
The by pass system should last at least 20 years before being replaced. Even if power costs stay the same for those 20 years I wouldn't mind making that type of profit for the investment.
If this dam can do this type of expensive project and yet still make a large profit what are the other dam, (damn) owners talking about?
Let's face it we are in a 4 year period where anyone who wants to be really greety can lobby in Washington DC and has a good chance to get what they want. Screw the environment.
Tim, for the heads up on this. Looks like the wheels of Troy are grinding away on what little, and few, recent improvements we have won re. the "Enviroment".
|Done. Thanks Tim... and to the moderators, this is a model of the type of system we need to put into place for similar form letters, American Rivers does a great job... now let's see if we can do right by our anadromous species.
Heads up on proposed Hydro Improvement Act
Heads up on Hydro legislation.
H.R. 1013 the Hydroelectric Improvement Act will if passed make it more difficult to provide fish passage and make it more difficult to remove Hydro Dams in the future. American Rivers has some detailed info on it and a electronic letter you can sign on and send to appropriate legislators.
It appears that this bill as currently written would allow dam owners to argue and force regulators to consider the argument that fish passage is to expensive in relation to the profit of a given hydro facility. This would be a significant change from the current process, which recognizes that providing fish passage is a fundamental responsibility of dam ownership.
There is a lot at stake here, so if you have a spare moment go to http://www.americanrivers.org/takeaction/ and let your legislators know how important this is. We need to keep the OUR in our rivers.

Don't Forget; The Godslayer by Dave Walsh on Sale Now
- Written by Dave Walsh
Yes, I'm at it again.
As you may or may not be aware of, I, your fair and sometimes honest curator of this fine site, have released a novel. The novel, The Godslayer, is a work of fiction (duh) following the life and times of a fighter by the name of Alek Turner who was at one time one of the best fighters in the world before age caught up with him. It takes a look inside of the mind of a fighter who was at one point on top of the world and is now rapidly-approaching his 40s and is seeing his legacy go up in flames along with his family.
He's given one last shot at glory to return to the ring to face an old nemesis, but along the way discovers what he had been missing by spending time with his children. He is faced with some tough life decisions and you get an inside look into his mind and the machinations of the MMA world.
The Godslayer was just recently featured on MiddleEasy.com and should shortly be appearing in some other publications as well. For those with an eReader, you can purchase the DRM-free Kindle edition for just $3.99, or if you prefer paperback you can pick up a copy for just $12.99.
