Ideas are like seeds or germs, depending on your outlook. Once they find some fertile soil they get nice a comfy and set about growing and propagating. My upcoming zine, in a practical sense took maybe a couple of hours to put together, this was because I had had various ideas floating around and they suddenly all fused together. Once I got it straight in my head there was no stopping me. I honestly can't say how long I had been mulling all the themes etc. over. So who can say how long a…Continue

My dear Children,
... The beginning of this Harvest was very promi[sing]. The crops in general had a very rich appearance, and it was generally expected that next season would be very plentiful. But within the last few weeks the greatest alarm prevails throughout the kingdom. It is dreaded that nothing less than a famine must prevail next summer unless the Almighty lord interpose. A disease seized the potato crop which was the standing food of the Country. The Potatoes which were good and healthy a few days since are now rotten in the Ground. Even some which were dug in beautiful dry weather and stored in Pits seem to be affected with the same blight. The newspapers teem with alarming accounts of the same disease throughout the kingdom. I cannot say whether the loss is equal to the alarm ...
I remain your
Affectionate Father
James Prenderg[ast]

We don't know what Amada did or did not do, but she was declared not guilty after spending 4 years in an Italian prison. In the USA she could not have been charged again after being released with a Not Guilty verdict- am I correct?

Arsenal can cope without the injured Bacary Sagna this weekend because they are blessed with two top-class right backs, according to Arsène Wenger.
Emmanuel Eboue will play against Birmingham on Saturday with Sagna sidelined by a thigh problem but their manager has no qualms about throwing the Ivorian into his starting line-up.
"You need two right backs and we have two quality right backs," he said.
"No matter who plays – Sagna or Eboue – we always feel we have a strong right back.
"Eboue will play tomorrow. He has a good club mentality and he has a sense of collective belonging.
"He wants to be part of the Club and is a great player.
"Usually I will rotate him and Sagna and Sagna has had more games [at right back] because Eboue can play in midfield."Copyright 2017 The Arsenal Football Club plc. Permission to use quotations from this article is granted subject to appropriate credit being given to www.arsenal.com as the source

"The design was super easy to edit to reflect my contact information, and leave off what didn't apply (no job title, no fax, no headings on the back) They come in a nice sturdy little box to keep the cards neat & clean!"
"I used the red for a bold pop of color. Love how the card stands out in a group of other people's cards. VERY pleased with this and highly recommend based on quality and creative design."
"I was ecstatic when received my orde earlier than expected, and I was so happy when I opened the package. my business cards were beautiful, professional, and added a bit of my stylish touch to it. I added the pearl shine to my cards which helped them stand out more. Being a new photographer, I'm so excited to pass out my cards to my clients!"
"The front of the card was gorgeous but the print on the back was blurry and the red was bleeding into the white at the edges so it made the text hard to read."

Ocean heat content revisions
Hot on the heels of last months reporting of a discrepancy in the ocean surface temperatures, a new paper in Nature (by Domingues et al, 2008) reports on the revisions of the ocean heat content (OHC) data – a correction required because of other discrepancies in measuring systems found last year.
Before we get to the punchline though, it's worth going over the saga of the OHC trends in the literature over the last 8 years. In 2001, Syd Levitus and colleagues first published their collation of ocean heat content trends since 1950 based on archives of millions of profiles taken by oceanographic researchers over the last 50 years. This showed a long term upward trend up, but with some very significant decadal variability – particularly in the 1970s and 1980s. This long term trend was in reasonable agreement with model predictions, but the decadal variability was much larger in the observations.
As in all cases where there is a data-model mismatch, people go back to both in order to see what might be wrong. One of the first suggestions was that since the spatial sampling became much coarser in the early part of the record, there might be more noise earlier on that didn't actually reflect a real ocean-wide signal. Sub-sampling the ocean models at the same sampling density as the real observations did increase the decadal variability in the diagnostic but it didn't provide a significantly better match (AchutaRao et al, 2006).
Other problems came up when trying to tally the reasons for sea level rise (SLR) over that 50 year period. Global SLR is a product of (in rough order of importance) ocean warming, land ice melting, groundwater extraction/dam building, and remnant glacial isostatic adjustment (the ocean basins are still slowly adjusting to the end of the last ice age). The numbers from tide gauges (and later, satellites) were higher than what you got by estimating each of those terms separately. (Note that the difference is mainly due to the early part of the record – more recent trends do fit pretty well). There were enough uncertainties in the various components so that it wasn't obvious where the problems were though.
Since 2003, the Argo program has seeded the oceans with autonomous floats which move up and down the water column and periodically send their data back for analysis. This has at last dealt with the spatial sampling issue (at least for the upper 700 meters in the ocean – greater depths remain relatively obscure). Initial results from the Argo data seemed to indicate that the ocean cooled quite dramatically from 2003 to 2005 (in strong contradiction to the sea level rise which had continued) (Lyman et al, 2006). But comparisons with other sources of data suggested that this was only seen with the Argo floats themselves. Thus when an error in the instruments was reported in 2007, things seemed to fit again.
In the meantime however, calibrations of the other sources of data against each other were showing some serious discrepancies as well. Ocean temperatures at depth are traditionally made with CTDs (a probe that you lower on line that provides a continuous temperature and salinity profile), Nansen bottles (water samples that are collected from specified depths) or XBTs (eXpendable bathy-thermographs) which are basically just thrown overboard. CTDs are used over and again and can be calibrated continuously to make sure their pressure and temperature measurements are accurate, but XBTs are free falling and the depths from which they are reporting temperatures needs to be estimated from the manufacturers fall rate calculations. As the mix of CTDs, bottles, XBTs and floats has changed over time, minor differences in the bias of each methodology can end up influencing the trends.
(If this is all starting to sound very familiar to those who looked into the surface stations or sea surface temperature record issues, it is because it is the same problem. Almost all long historical climate records were not collected with the goal of climate in mind.)

Tomas Rosicky says it is crucial for the Arsenal squad to show togetherness when their critics "smell blood".
Following recent disappointments in the Champions League and FA Cup, a number of pundits have questioned the team.
But Rosicky believes that with the Gunners in pole position to claim fourth place in the Premier League, they must demonstrate their unity for the rest of the campaign.
"The outside world will try to separate you, they smell blood, so we have to stick together and for the rest of the season fight for fourth place," Rosicky told Arsenal Player.
"We are there right now so we want to keep that position. Togetherness is very important; we can't be influenced by the outside.
"We have the quality to [finish fourth], there's no doubt about it, but we have to avoid performances like those last week."

Migraine is a type of recurring headache that involves blood vessels, nerves, and brain chemicals. Sensations called auras may come before a migraine. Auras can include visual changes or numbness and tingling. There are 2 types of migraines:
- Migraine occurring with an aura
- Migraine occurring without an aura
|Copyright © Nucleus Medical Media, Inc.
Migraine headaches can affect a child's performance in school, relationships with friends and family, and other factors in a child's life.
The precise reason that a child is susceptible to migraines is unknown. Factors that may play a role include:
- Genetics and environmental triggers
- Changes in a nerve that serves as a major pain pathway
- Imbalance in brain chemicals, like serotonin
Factors that can trigger a migraine include:
- Physical exertion or too little physical activity
- Too much sleep or too little sleep
- Missing a meal
- Motion sickness from traveling
- Tiredness
- Overuse of pain medications
- Being overweight
- Smoking
- Certain foods such as chocolate, citrus fruits, dairy, processed meats, or fried foods
- Certain environmental triggers such as flashing lights, odors, loud noises, or weather changes
Risk Factors
Migraines are more common in males. However, it is more common in females after puberty. The average age of onset is 7 years old (boys) and 10 years old (girls).
Factors that increase your child's chance of migraines may include:
- Family history of migraines
- Infantile colic
Migraines occur in phases that may include:
A warning may come before a migraine. In the hours or days before the headache, symptoms may include:
- A change in mood
- A change in behavior
- A change in the level of activity
- Fatigue
- Yawning
- Food craving or decreased appetite
- Nausea, diarrhea
- Sensitivity to light
The most common aura is visual. The aura lasts about 15-30 minutes. It may produce the following sensations:
- Flashing lights, spots, or zig zag lines
- Temporary partial loss of vision
- Speech difficulties
- Weakness in an arm or leg
- Numbness or tingling in the face and hands
The Migraine Headache
Migraine pain starts within an hour of the aura ending. Symptoms include:
A headache (usually on one side but may involve both sides) that often feels:
- Moderate or severe in intensity
- Throbbing or pulsating
- More severe with movement
- Nausea or vomiting
- Sensitivity to light or sound
- Lightheadedness
A Post-Headache Period
Migraines usually last from 4-72 hours. They often go away with sleep. After the headache, your child may experience:
- Trouble concentrating
- Fatigue
- Sore muscles
- Irritability
- Mood changes
You will be asked about your child's symptoms and medical history. A physical exam will be done. Your child may also be given a neurological exam. The diagnosis is often based on your child's symptoms. To rule out other complications, your doctor may order imaging tests such as:
- CT scan
- MRI scan
The doctor may order blood tests or other tests before starting treatment.
Migraine therapy aims to:
- Prevent headaches
- Reduce headache severity and frequency
- Restore your child's ability to function
- Improve your child's quality of life
Treatment options include:
Medications often used as first line agents in children with headaches include:
- Nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDs)
- Acetaminophen
Note: Aspirin is not recommended for children with a current or recent viral infection. Check with your doctor before giving your child aspirin.
Your child's doctor may also recommend migraine medication.
Therapy may also be used to reduce the length and frequency of migraine headaches. It may be used with or without medication and may include cognitive behavioral therapy, biofeedback, or relaxation methods.
Other Treatment During the Migraine
To help your child during a migraine:
- Apply cold compresses to painful areas of your child's head.
- Have your child lie in a dark, quiet room.
- Try applying constant gentle pressure to your child's temples.
- Try to help your child fall asleep.
Preventing Migraines
Keep a diary to understand what factors may trigger your child's migraines.
Some steps that may help prevent future migraines includes:
- Have you or your child keep a diary. It will help identify what triggers migraines and what helps relieve them.
- Maintain regular sleep patterns, even during the weekend or on vacation.
- Learn stress management and relaxations techniques.
- Do not skip meals.
- Exercise regularly.
Foods are not proven to trigger migraine, but consider keeping track of what your child eats. Foods suspected by some to trigger migraine include:
- Nuts and peanut butter
- Beans—lima, navy, pinto, and others
- Aged or cured meats
- Aged cheese
- Processed or canned meat
- Caffeine—intake or withdrawal
- Canned soup
- Buttermilk or sour cream
- Meat tenderizer
- Brewer's yeast
- Avocados
- Onions
- Pickles
- Red plums
- Sauerkraut
- Snow peas
- Soy sauce
- Anything with MSG (monosodium glutamate), tyramine, or nitrates
There are no current guidelines to prevent migraines in children since the cause is not known. If your child is prone to migraines, talk to their doctor about prophylactic medications.

This article was originally published in June, 2001 on SailNet.
The first step in the search for that perfect upwind leg is boat preparation. For most boats this means having the rig tuned for the given wind and wave conditionstoo tight a rig and you'll lack power in moderate air; too loose a rig and you'll have trouble pointing upwind. If you're sailing in a one-design class, consult your sailmaker's tuning guide for the basic rig set-up. Regardless of what type of boat you're racing, you'll want to have a magic marker and a tape measure handy to document your rig and sail-control settings because having easy references for such things as jib-lead positions or halyard tensions can put you ahead of the game when the conditions begin to change.
Before you even leave the dock, measure along the jib/genoa tracks on each side of the boat and make evenly spaced, numbered marks on the deck where they are easily visible to the headsail trimmer. The next person to get the power of the pen is the pit person or foredeck crew (depending on the location of the halyard and whose job it is to ensure the halyard tension is set appropriately for the sailing conditions).
Once you've taken care of those basics, it's time to go sailing and make sense of all the nice, neat marks the team has made on the owner's pride and joy. If you can, get your core team on board so that everyone learns from the exercise of understanding this collective set of marks. Hoist the appropriate headsail for the conditions, head upwind, sheet in, and get everyone in their racing positions.
The first setting for the trimmers to confirm is halyard tension. Generally, the luff of the headsail wants to be tight enough so that it just takes the wrinkles out of the sail along the luff tape. Naturally, you'll want this to be tighter in breezier conditions and looser in lighter conditions. The headsail trimmers and the pit crew (or whoever secures the halyards) should notementally and in writingthe proper settings for each sail and for the conditions throughout the range of that sail.
Let's say you're out sailing on board a 30-foot boat and it's blowing 12 knots. Chances are you'll be using that boat's largest headsail, probably a No. 1. Get the halyard tension set so that you have enough shape in the forward portion of the sail for the sea state, but no so much that the boat won't be able to point well. That's what I'd consider a ballpark setting for the halyard. You can fine-tune it from there.
Now the sheet-lead positions need to be sorted out. A good place to start is when sailing along with the headsail fully sheeted inadjust the lead so that headsail is roughly the same distance from the spreaders on each tack, or the spreader and the chainplate, depending on the rig configuration of the boat you're sailing.
I'd recommend that you take a moment to ensure that the halyard tension is correct for the existing conditions before making a final determination regarding the sheet lead position. If the halyard is too loose, the leech will be too round, causing you to pull your lead too far aft. The same is true if the halyard is too tight; you may end up with the lead too far forward in an attempt to round out the leech. So start with the halyard, and once you've gotten that right, move on to the lead positions.
Now that you know how tight to pull up your halyards and how far to pull in your sails, it is up to the trimmers and the halyard crew to keep track of this information. The best approach is to simply write it down and read it on the way out to the racecourse. On some of the boats that I race aboard we make laminated "cheat sheets" containing this information and we post them somewhere within easy access so that we know what changes to make to the settings as conditions on the racecourse change. It's a great way to keep the confusion to a minimum.
Once you arrive at the starting area, put away the newspaper, drain the last cup of coffee, and hoist your mainsail. You'll probably have one or two more discussions regarding headsail choice, but leave yourself plenty of time to get your final choice hoisted before the starting countdown begins.
Ultimately, it's up to the helmsman and trimmers to determine if the settings are correct. The trimmers should be looking at sail shapes, making the necessary adjustments to the controls depending upon the conditions, the research, and the notes made while tuning the rig, as well as the input from the helmsman. If time permits and the opportunity presents itself, it's always a good idea to try to line up next to a competitor to compare your speed and pointing ability. If you think you are moving better than the other guy, make another note about all of your settings. Likewise, if your competitor seems to be sailing around you like it's your first time on the boat, double-check your settings and see if you are able to identify something your competitor is doing regarding settings or sail trim that may be different from yours. If you've got plenty of time before the start, now is the time to make the change and sail upwind again to see if there is a positive difference. All of this preparation might seem tedious, but once the gun goes off, it can really pay off for you and your crew.

Hey all, I'm looking for any tips you can give a beginning caller. i'm having trouble finding any definitive help on line on calling, though I have some guys that can help me out (probably not before early season though)
Also, what can i get for cheap calls that sound good. So far I've bought three short reeds (Buck Gardner Goose Hammer, Primos Honky Tonk, and RNT Goozilla) and have been doing well with clucks (still havent figured out the moan yet or the feeding chuckles, mainly because i can't get a low enough note out of the Primos or RNT (havent gotten the buck gardner yet)). Still trying to figure out cadence to the calling and the strings of notes to use at different distances or whatever. Honks and clucks will work to begin with, where to next?

Arsène Wenger admits that Arsenal are in "a big fight" for a top-four place but he insists there are positives to take out of Wednesday's visit to Bolton.
The visitors had to settle for a point at the Reebok Stadium and have dropped to seventh in the Premier League table behind Liverpool and Newcastle. All the same a win over Blackburn this weekend will take them to within two points of fourth-place Chelsea and Wenger remains confident.
"It is a big fight for fourth but the fact that there are more teams involved is not too bad," he told Arsenal Player.
"We have of course to focus on the game on Saturday and win our home game. Once we do that we can have a good weekend.
"But of course we feel overall it is two points dropped [at Bolton]. We produced a good game - when you play away from home and you create six or seven chances like we did you can not demand much more. We did not concede so overall those are the positives.
"The negatives are that we didn't take our chances. Maybe we lacked a little bit the relaxed attitude we need when we get chances at the moment and hopefully that will go away now."

Crude oil prices drifting lower
Oil made a strong recovery on Tuesday on a combination of short covering and ongoing concern over the evolving geopolitical situation in the Middle East... in particular the growing conflict between Syria and Turkey. It is not that Syria and Turkey are significant oil exporters but Iraqi crude from the northern part of Iraq (Kirkuk) flows via pipeline thorough Turkey to Ceyhan. In addition if the Syrian civil war spreads further throughout the Middle East it is only going to result in another level of instability in a region that is very unstable and a region that exports the largest amount of oil to the consuming world countries. At least for a day the potential for a geopolitical supply disruption was the main focus of most of the oil market players.
At the moment yesterday's rally has eased as market participants are once again focusing on the slowing of the global economy and the impact that will potentially have on oil demand growth along with what is expected to be a weekly oil inventory report (EIA inventory report to be released tomorrow morning) that is currently projected to be biased to the bearish side with builds projected for both crude oil and refined products. The market is concerned about the possibility of a supply impact if the evolving geopolitical situating in the Middle East is elevated further. However, the current supply situation is more than balanced as OPEC is producing about 1 million barrels per day above their quota (latest from Reuters) with Saudi Arabian production around the 10 million barrel per day level and based on statements by the Saudi Oil Minister the 10 million barrels per day level is expected to continue through November at least. As has been the case for an extended period of time there is no shortage of crude oil anywhere in the world even with the Iranian sanctions impacting Iran's oil export level.
The monthly oil projections will begin to hit the media airwaves today with the OPEC report to be released this morning, the EIA report early this afternoon and the IEA report on Friday morning. The market will be looking very closely to see if all of the reports will once again lower their oil demand projections for 2012 and 2013 as the IMF has once again downgraded their global economic projections and the World Bank lowered their growth forecast for China... the main oil demand growth engine of the world. If oil demand growth continues to deteriorate and if global oil supply remains at the current elevated level oil inventories are likely to build for the rest of the year adding additional downward pressure on oil prices going forward. Barring a geopolitical supply disruption it currently looks like the fundamentals through the end of the year are likely to be biased to the bearish side for oil prices.
The OPEC monthly oil report was just released. Following are some of the main highlights from the report. They did lower their oil demand forecast for 2013 by about 30,000 bpd with the risk skewed to the downside.
• World economic growth in 2012 was revised down to 3.1% from 3.3% previously, reflecting slowing growth since the start of this year. Assuming the deceleration will bottom out in the current quarter, the forecast for 2013 has been left at 3.2%. The US expansion remains below potential at 2.2% in 2012 and 2.0% in 2013. Japan is increasingly feeling the weakness in exports and is seen expanding by 2.2% in 2012 and 1.1% in 2013. Meanwhile, the Euro-zone is expected to grow at 0.1% in 2013, following a contraction of 0.5% this year. The weakness in developed economies has been widely felt in the export-oriented emerging market economies. China is now forecast to expand by 7.6% in 2012 and 8.0% in the coming year. India is forecast to grow by 5.7% this year and 6.6% in 2013.
• World oil demand is expected to grow by 0.8 mb/d in 2013, unchanged from the previous forecast and in line with the growth for the current year, which has been revised down by 0.1 mb/d. The projections for global oil consumption continue to be affected by the uncertainties facing the world economy. Slower industrial production has sharply reduced global oil demand in both the US and China, and the winter outlook represents further uncertainties in the coming months. Risks to the forecast for 2013 are primarily on the downside, due to the turbulence in the world economy.
• Non-OPEC oil supply is now forecast to increase by 0.6 mb/d in 2012, following a downward revision of 0.1 mb/d from the previous month, due mainly to lower-than-expected supply from Brazil, Kazakhstan, China, Azerbaijan, and the UK. In 2013, non-OPEC oil supply is expected to grow by 0.9 mb/d, supported by anticipated growth in the US, Canada, Brazil, and Kazakhstan, as well as Sudan and South Sudan. OPEC NGLs and nonconventional oils are expected to increase by 0.4 mb/d in 2012, and 0.2 mb/d in 2013. In September, total OPEC crude production averaged 31.08 mb/d, according to secondary sources, representing a drop of 265 tb/d from the previous month.
• Demand for OPEC crude for this year has been revised up by 0.2 mb/d from the previous assessment to stand at 30.1 mb/d, representing a decline of 0.1 mb/d compared to last year. In 2013, demand for OPEC crude is forecast to average 29.8 mb/d, a decline of 0.3 mb/d from the current year and representing an upward adjustment of 0.2 mb/d from the previous report.
In the tropics there are still a few weather patterns to keep on the radar. As of this morning there are two areas... one a couple hundred miles northeast of the Bahamas and one about 1,050 miles east of the Windward Islands. Neither pattern has a very high probability of strengthening into a tropical cycle over the next forty eight hours nor is their direction currently projected yet. Thus nothing needs to be done on the oil or Nat Gas front other than to simply watch the progress over the next few days.
From a technical perspective both WTI and Brent have been in a relatively wide trading range for the last three weeks or so with WTI trading between $88/bbl to about $94/bbl while Brent has traded between about $107/bbl and $115/bbl. Both of these markets have been relatively indecisive as to their next price direction. Over the last three weeks about half of the trading sessions ended lower on the day with the other half ending higher... certainly a market that is laden with uncertainty and not a strong conviction one way or the other at the moment.
Global equities have been on the defensive for the last twenty four hours as shown in the EMI Global Equity Table below. The only bourse that gained value over the last twenty four hours was China which had a minor gain in a global market that saw most all other bourses drifting lower. The EMI Index is now lower by 0.5% for the week resulting in the year to date gain narrowing to 6.5%. The rankings have remained the same with Germany still on top of the leader board with a year to date gain of 22.5% followed by Hong Kong and the US which are both still showing double digit gains for the year. Global equities have been a negative price driver for oil and the boarder commodity complex over the last day or so.
The weekly inventory cycle has been delayed by one day due to the Columbus Day holiday on Monday. The weekly oil inventory cycle will begin with the release of the API inventory report Wednesday afternoon and with the more widely followed EIA oil inventory report being released Thursday morning at 11:00 AM EST. With the global economy and oil fundamentals becoming more the focus of the trading and investing community this week's oil inventory report could be a price catalyst especially if the actual outcome shows a large deviation from the projections. However, any inventory reaction could be short lived if the macroeconomic data remains the main focus of most market players.
My projections for this week's inventory report are summarized in the following table. I am expecting the US refining sector to hold relatively steady even as there have been a rash of refinery issues over the last several weeks. I am expecting a modest build in crude oil inventories, and a build in both gasoline and distillate fuel stocks. I am expecting crude oil stocks to increase by about 2 million barrels. If the actual numbers are in sync with my projections the year over year comparison for crude oil will now show a surplus of 29.1 million barrels while the overhang versus the five year average for the same week will come in around 35 million barrels.
I am expecting a modest draw in crude oil stocks in Cushing, Ok as the Seaway pipeline is now pumping and refinery run rates are continuing at high levels in that region of the US. This would normally be bearish for the Brent/WTI spread in the short term but the spread is currently trading at the highest premium to Brent in over a year. The slow return from maintenance in the North Sea has been the main driver that has resulted in the Nov Brent/WTI spread now trading over the $22.50/bbl level as of this writing. The widening of the spread should begin to ease once the North Sea returns to a more normal production level over the next month or two.
With refinery runs expected to increase by 0.3% I am expecting a build in gasoline stocks. Gasoline stocks are expected to increase by 1 million barrels which would result in the gasoline year over year deficit coming in around 12.7 million barrels while the deficit versus the five year average for the same week will come in around 7.8 million barrels.
Distillate fuel is projected to increase by 1 million barrels. If the actual EIA data is in sync with my distillate fuel projection inventories versus last year will likely now be about 28.9 million barrels below last year while the deficit versus the five year average will come in around 26.1 million barrels.
The above table compares my projections for this week's report (for the categories I am making projections) with the change in inventories for the same period last year. As you can see from the table last year's inventories are not in directional sync with this week's projections. As such if the actual data is in line with the projections there will be a significant change in the year over year inventory comparisons.
The oil complex has breached all of its current support levels and as such I am keeping my view at neutral for today as crude oil continues to trade within a wide trading range (see above for more comments). The battle continues between the negativity from the slowing of the global economy compared to what global stimulus programs might do to the economy going forward while geopolitics has continued to remain an issue for market participants.
I am keeping my Nat Gas price view at neutral with a neutral bias. Even though current prices favor coal over Nat Gas (based on a macroeconomic comparison) the market is now more focused on the upcoming winter heating season and what it may due to Nat Gas demand.
Markets are mostly mixed to start the US trading session as shown in the following table.

Pregnancy after Induced Birth and Miscarriage
My second baby was induced because I had typhoid during my 8th month pregnancy. Since then, I began experiencing menstrual cramps. When I had a miscarriage last February, I began to have irregular periods plus the cramps. Do the induced labor and miscarriage have something to do with it?
27th July 2013 02:24 AM #2
Hi xylumictin,
Thank you for your post. I would like to say once again that I'm so sorry for what you have been through.
After a miscarriage, some women have irregular periods whilst their periods are settling back to normal. However, for some women their periods can remain irregular for an extended period of time following a miscarriage. This is largely due to the changes in a woman's hormones following a miscarriage. Just to clarify, was it February 2013 or 2012 that you experienced the miscarriage?
Were your periods regular before the miscarriage? Has the period pain that you experience changed since the miscarriage or since you were induced?
Typhoid itself can also affect the menstrual cycle. Have you seen your doctor recently about this?
I will ask our midwife Jane to help us to support you with this.
With my best wishes,

Hi xylumictin - Induction of labour doesn't cause irregular periods or menstrual cramps. I do not have any experience with Typhoid as it is very uncommon here in Australia. Have you seen a doctor to exclude anything else that can be causing your symptoms? When experiencing menstrual difficulties it can be helpful to have a health professional guide you with nutrition, exercise and supplements to help improve your symptoms.

Dear aussiemidwife,
Thank you for your reply. The last time I've seen a doctor regarding typhoid was after my daughter's death. He said that I can opt for anti-typhoid vaccine before my next pregnancy to lessen the risks of having it again. But, I really do not know if it's okay... my friend therapist and herbalist said that I just need to boost my immune system through taking food supplements. A friend's doctor (that friend of mine also happens to have had typhoid when she was still single) said that typhoid can easily be triggered if the immune system is weak. So, I guess, I just really need to stay healthy... Or would you advise me to have that anti-typhoid vaccine?

I really want to go "all-natural" in my next pregnancy, so I am really not that 100% percent into anti-typhoid vaccine...

Dear LJ,
The period pain start after being induced in 2011, while the irregular periods started after the miscarriage.

hi, LJ.
I would like to thank you first for your unending support and reply to my questions.
The last time I had typhoid was when I was pregnant with my 2nd baby in 2011. The miscarriage happened last February, just this year, and since then I have irregular periods... which, I think, greatly affects why I cannot really track my ovulation period even with the help of phone applications for tracking and counting menstrual cycles.
Can I do something to speed up the process for my hormones to be normal again?
31st July 2013 02:18 PM #8
Hi Xyleane,
You are very welcome.
I've put some detailed information about the typhoid vaccine in this thread here under conception questions. I hope this is helpful. It seems it is best to have the typhoid vaccine at least one month (some sources state 3 months) before you try to conceive - you can check the very latest recommended waiting period with your doctor when you have the vaccine. It is best not to have the vaccine in pregnancy. I know it must be hard when you want to have another baby and you don't want to wait, but this would be the recommended way to be protected against typhoid if you are in an area where it is prevalent.
There is some information here from the CDC about avoiding typhoid. Even if you have the vaccine it is not 100% effective so you still need to try and avoid contaminated food and drink.
I would second what Jane our midwife said about concentrating on good pre-conception care - this may help your cycles to become regular quicker. Stress is also a factor in preventing your periods from becoming regular again. It would also be useful to check with your doctor, like Jane says, that the typhoid you suffered from is not still affecting your periods.
After what you have been through, your body may just need extra time to recover and for your periods to settle again. It must be very difficult for you - you have my thoughts.
Please let us know if this helps with your questions.
Best wishes,

Dear LJ,
Hi... your answers were very helpful. I will talk with my husband with regards to the vaccine.
I think typhoid does not have anything to do with my irregular periods. Because after I had typhoid and giving birth to my 2nd baby, my periods were still regular. I just started to have cramps.
It was just after the miscarriage last February that I started having irregular periods.... plus the cramps.
Do you think it's necessary for me to fully recover to unload of some work? Or should I really consult a doctor?
1st August 2013 01:45 AM #10
Hi Xyleane,
Stress can have a huge affect both on conception and pregnancy. I personally would not underestimate how stress can result in physical problems including irregular periods.
When I experienced the loss of a baby in a miscarriage I wanted to conceive again straight away. I desperately wanted a baby and I was scared that I could not have children. However, after such a difficult emotional and physical event our bodies often need time to recover and gain strength before the next pregnancy.
Did you have an ultrasound scan after the miscarriage had occurred to check the miscarriage was 'complete'?
There is some further useful information about miscarriage on the Tommy's website which I have used before.
It is not medically concerning that you have not conceived yet since your miscarriage in February (as it often takes couples between 6 and 12 months to conceive). However, if you are concerned that your cycles are still irregular then you should see your doctor.
Is there any pattern at all to your cycles at the moment?
Best wishes,

Calvert, a lifelong Bulls supporter who has also become a shareholder, will join former general manager Ryan Whitcut and other local businessmen Mark Moore and Ian Watt on the board of the Super League club.
"This club is a big part of my life and I've been coming here since the age of 10," Calvert said. "I remember all the dark times with Northern and glory days with the Bulls.
"Although I'm a lifelong fan, the main reason I'm on board is that I think I can help from a business perspective. I believe there are a lot of positive things we can do at the club and a lot of improvement to make.
"I believe we will get this business turned around very quickly because we've got people with different core skill sets. If you look at the successful clubs nowadays, they get their off-field activities right and that's what allows them to sign better players."
Whitcut and Moore stepped in to take over Bradford a month ago when owner Omar Khan relinquished control due to health reasons and left the club with immediate effect, along with fellow directors Gerry Sutcliffe and Vipin Joshi.
As they wait for the RFL to deliver a verdict on the club's business plan and "fit and proper persons" test, the new directors will hold their first board meeting on Thursday at which Watt will become managing director, with former player Robbie Hunter-Paul confirmed as chief executive.
The Bulls have spent the past month in "special measures", which means they cannot make any signings but Moore is confident the new regime will get the go-ahead to take the club forward.
"We are not investors in name only, we all have key responsibilities too and it's now down to us to do the job," Moore said.
"There are four shareholders and no-one has a majority share, so we're all singing from the hymn sheet. That's why it's going to work.
"We had a really good meeting with the RFL yesterday and have further meetings on Friday and Tuesday. We're hoping for some good news very soon."Reuse content

Chad Ebert Wins Horizon League Golf Title
By: Andrew Gavin (@GBGavin)
HOWEY-IN-THE-HILLS, Fla. (GreenBayPhoenix.com) - Junior Chad Ebert (Kenosha, Wis.) fired an even-par 72 on Sunday afternoon at Mission Inn Resort, tallying three birdies in the process to win individual medalist honors at the 2012 Horizon League Men's Golf Championships. Ebert carded pars on the final four holes to finish the 54-hole tournament at 6-over par and two strokes clear of a three-way tie for second which included teammate Cam Fuller (Sturgeon Bay, Wis.).
Ebert's win was the All-Horizon League performer's first collegiate victory and earns him an automatic berth into the NCAA Regionals. He becomes the first Phoenix golfer to win the Horizon League championship since Shaun Rezachek in 2001 and the second all-time. Rezachek was also the individual medalist in 1998.
"I am extremely excited. I hit the ball well all day without doing anything special," Ebert said. "I made three birdies including 18 which was probably my hardest hole on the golf course. I played really well all day and it felt good to close out a round. It was also my first win so it felt really good to get the first win on a big stage."
The play of Ebert and Fuller had Green Bay in contention for the team title all weekend, but in the end the Phoenix finished the championship in the same place they started the round Sunday, two shots behind Loyola. Green Bay and Loyola each shot rounds of 16-over 304 Sunday, leaving the Ramblers at 45-over 909 and the Phoenix at 47-over 911.
The finish was Green Bay's fourth runner-up finish at the Horizon League Championships, including the second time in the past three seasons (2010).
"I hit a couple of bad shots but I didn't let it get to me because I had the team in my mind," Ebert said. "Our goal was to win as a team not for anyone to win as an individual."
Ebert entered the day in second place and three strokes off the lead, but after a birdie on the 18th hole, his ninth of the day after each player in the field started the round on 10, the junior was in the lead heading to the final nine holes. Ebert followed with a birdie at the first, but Fuller eagled the same hole to sit just one stroke behind his teammate with eight holes to play.
The fifth hole got the best of both players, with an Ebert double bogey and a Fuller bogey putting them in a tie. Ebert, playing one group ahead of Fuller, carded pars the rest of the way while Fuller dropped a couple of shots.
Focused more on the team score, Ebert was unaware of where he stood on the leaderboard during the final few holes. After playing the seventh at 4-over in the first two rounds, Ebert parred the hole before recording two-putt pars from 60 and 15 feet, respectively, on eight and nine.
"I didn't know anything about the scores and that was nice in a sense," Ebert. "The eighth hole was very intimidating over water and into the wind. The most satisfying thing was parring the seventh hole because I had bogeyed it and tripled it, so it was nice to get some redemption on that hole."
Fuller birdied his first two holes on Sunday before a string of four bogeys in a row dropped him to 2-over. He then birdied his next hole before recording his first par of the round at 17. He finished the day with an 2-over par 74 which included three birdies and the eagle at 10. His three-day total of 8-over par 224 left him tied for second.
Sophomores Dan Ozga (Edgerton, Wis.) and Sam Weber (Heartland, Wis.) each had 79s on Sunday and Ozga finished 20th (232, +16) while Weber tied for 22nd (234, +18). Freshman Tyler Schmidt (Jefferson, Wis.) rounded out the Phoenix golfers in a tie for 36th (241, +25).

Spaz in the US is a very minor insult, in fact it doesn't even have to be insulting, it can mean something as harmless as jumpy or excited.
From what I understand "the C word" is in pretty common usage in Europe but in the US it's quite taboo.

Depends upon your personal world, I suppose. To you, they are minor insults. To those of us in the "disability world", they can sometimes be quite sharp (esp if spoken by someone of "typical" abilities).

Hullo everyone! :)
I was just wondering-how important do you think it is to tell people you're an atheist? I suppose I'm talking about both people you're close with and just people in general. I came out to my parents about a month or two ago, and my mum in particular was surprisingly supportive, but I never actually used the 'A' word. I just went about it by saying, "I'm not a Christian." And afterwards, she mentioned that even saying it that way was a bit harsh, so when I tell other people I know I should maybe rephrase myself.
This sort of took me by surprise, since telling the rest of my friends hasn't really been the biggest priority in my life. I've never really thought, 'I'm an atheist, so every single person I know MUST know of my lack of faith!! *Cue demonic laughter*'. The only reason I told my parents was because I'm going to university next year, and my dad kept going on about Christian clubs I could join while there. (He actually started networking a bit with some of their leaders, so I felt a bit bad breaking the news to him.) All-in-all, I just hadn't really planned on going public with my atheism, but ever since I voiced my lack of faith to my parents, I have felt a little more awkward about hiding my atheism, and have been wondering about breaking the news to some of my friends. (Who, of course, are all devout Christians)
I've only really got two friends in mind:
-One is a girl I've grown up with pretty much my entire life. Her family are MEGA christians with a capital 'M', and while we never exactly had a lot of religious conversations when we were little, and while she MUST have noticed I haven't been coming to church or youth group a lot lately, she's been having a bit of a religious calling recently. I'm happy for her-I wish I was as certain about what I want to do with my life-but every now and then she says something like, "I really feel God's spirit, and I feel like he really wants to move the world through me," and then there'll be this awkward moment where I go, "Right", and start eyeing the fire escape. (Okay, the fire escape is a joke...but I think you get the point. It's kind of awkward.) I'm also VERY pro-gay, and there was another awkward moment when I mentioned homosexuality while we were hanging out at youth group, and she just gave me this really long, disbelieving look and said, "We're in a church." So yeah...I think it's kind of obvious where she stands.
-The other, who I haven't known for quite as long, is REALLY close to god; only not on a rule-following, religious level like the first girl, but on a more personal, spiritual level. She's actually planning on being a pastor, and loves being a christian. She's probably the sweetest, happiest, most friendly person I've ever met, and has always struck me as being open minded. (In comparison to friend #1, she's also pro-gay.) The only thing is she doesn't go to the same church as me, so probably doesn't have any doubts about my 'faith'. (Since she doesn't know I haven't been attending church that much since I came out to my parents.) We're in philosophy class together, and we have these fun little debates about the meaning of life, etc. Sometimes she'll ask me a philosophical question that has a bit of religion in it, genuinely interested in what I have to say, and I'll try and give her to most honest answer I can without totally letting it out that I'm not religious. She's always looking out for other people, and I have the feeling that if she were to find out about my atheism, she'd be completely heart-broken.
Honestly, my social skills aren't really up to par. I have a bit of trouble making new friends, so I'd really like to hold on to these two. So basically; in your opinion, should I be telling them, or anyone else from church, etc. that I'm an atheist, and also, should I consider telling my parents that I'm not just non-religious?
Also, just as a side note, I'd like to say that I'm kind of new to the site, and it's by far the most supportive, friendly resource I've come across. It's just so nice to find a community like this where everyone's so open-minded! :D
Thanks everyone! (And sorry about the rant-it's just nice to be able to properly talk about all this.)

When directly questioned or a statement is directly addressed to me, I hit it head-on, no ifs or buts about it. I am who I am and I won't have a religious person force me into the closet to suppress my views.
At work it finally came out one day in a meeting when another employee during a meeting started flinging religious references out with regards to work and the management did nothing. I stood up turned towards the door and said "This is BS" and walked out the door. My manager called me in his office after the meeting and I knew what it was going to be about, so I cut him off before having to listen to the whole BS. I said "I apologize for walking out of the meeting, that was wrong BUT if the religious discussion continues, which has NOTHING to do with work, then I'll be contacting the Human Resources Dept.. And that there's no place OR need for religion at work. If they want to worship, they can do it at their own house. I don't believe in that crap and I shouldn't have to be subject to this at work. Then I just looked him directly in the eyes and waited for his reply. He was definitely in shock. He fumbled to find words but was really at a loss. Finally he just told me that he'd have a talk with the other person and that was it.
I know it definitely changed his views of me (not for the better since he's religious also) but I'm good at what I do at work, he knows it and the other managers know it also, so it's not like I'm risking my job or anything.
From that point on I've had a number of employees come up to me and start discussing how I needed to be saved and each and every one of them get an ear full from me about religion until they walk away. 90% of them now know not to even bring the topic up to me because they risk being pushed into a corner to answer questions about their god that they don't want to have to answer and it makes them uncomfortable. And I'm glad it does...because they've needed that feeling for a long time!
When I go to a religious person's house, that's off-limit for any discussion of Atheism, I give them the respect of their house. In the public, there is no respect the door is open to attacking they're views whenever the topic comes up. It's that simple. I don't go searchin' to spread the word of Atheism to religious people unless I'm addressed by religious statements, then it's fair game! I'll respect their personal views as long as they keep it to themselves and in their house (NOT in our government) and I'll do the same with my Atheist views.
Have I lost people that once were thought to be my friends? Yep but that's ok because now I know they really weren't such a friend after all.
It depends on context, and how interested you are in having a relationship with your religious friends.
Generally speaking, I avoid making atheism the cornerstone (or capstone?) of my public persona. Not because I'm ashamed (in fact, being in the military I have "Atheist" on my dog tags and on my public records), but because there isn't much to atheism itself. Who I am consists of a lot more than just my non-belief, and when arguments/debates come up in conversation, I've found it effective to argue around specific, substantive points (e.g., gay rights, environmental issues, etc.) rather than generalizing about atheist beliefs or politics as such.
So, if your one friend were to start moralizing about homosexuality, I'd consider that a good time to make an argument. Not on the basis of atheism per se, but on the basis that it's awfully judgmental and intolerant to do so. Of course, it goes without saying that to get away with this it pays to be informed on the issues you feel are important.
With all that said (and at the risk of contradicting myself), I agree with the other comments concerning the importance of coming out. There's a lot of ignorance surrounding atheism out there, and "outing" yourself is one way you can help change that. Doing so, however, may cost you a relationship or two, at least in the short term.
Welcome to TA Rose!
Even though I was raised agnostic/atheist, I have struggled with the same question of "exactly how open should I be about this"? For most of my life, I just didn't talk about my lack of belief, except with very close like-minded friends and family.
There is alot of judgement and stigma assigned to atheists. And for a long time I just couldn't be bothered with opening myself up to that sort of conflict. It really wasn't until a little over a year ago that I felt ready to be open about my non belief. Nowadays, I certainly don't make a point of preaching to everyone about atheism, but if it comes up in conversation I have no problem with telling people.
If or when you do come out to others about your atheism is entirely up to you. Speaking from personal experience though, I think it is alot less stressful to be honest with others and yourself about your beliefs (or lack thereof) even though it does carry the risk of rejection or judgement.
I have a couple of christian friends, who have known about my atheism from day one. They have both been fully accepting and have not once preached or tried to convert me.
Keep us posted! You've got alot of support here.
I don't hide that I am an atheist, I have covered my car in stickers lately, a good "no God" sticker on the door also keeps the nutters away.
As for friends, I don't think it is a great subject, it ALWAYS starts with someone trying to SAVE me, and by the time it finishes I am "being rude" and "a religious bigot."
I never bring it up, but if religion is brought up I have become quite an activist about it.
I think the best thing to do is to tell people as it comes up. Then tell them like it's a totally normal thing, which it is.
I became atheist long ago without really ackowledging it.
For the reasons you state is why I think I have become a bit of an activist though.
I don't like religion and politics mixing, I don't like that 1 voice can be heard, but a dissenting voice is viewed as an attack. I am lucky to not really be faced with many faithful buddies (2 that I know of).
Buuuut in Canada, we seem to becoming more politically "devoted" and we cannot let it get carried away.
Offline, I'm as private about my lack of religion as I wish a lot of religious people would be about their lack of atheism.
When someone says, "god bless you" when I sneeze, I respond, "The "soul" does not begin to leave the body during a sneeze and doesn't need to be called back."
When a homeless person says, "god bless you," after I've given him a dollar, I respond, "If there were a 'god,' you wouldn't be out here in the cold begging for money, would you?"
I try to make similar responses to other references to religion in daily life.

When carried in a holster that covers the trigger guard area, by a properly trained and practiced shooter, Glocks are no more likely to be involved with problems than any other weapon. They are unforgiving of errors, as are virtually all handguns, and the addition of "extra" devices to "improve" safety is usually an attempt to solve a software problem (you not being comfortable with the Glock) by adding extra hardware (things that make it harder to fire, both by mistake AND purposefully, when you need it).
Please consider the amount of manual dexterity it will take, in a somewhat unnatural direction (side-to-side), to eject that tiny trigger block before you can use the weapon to defend your life in a highly stressful situation. Also consider what will happen if any part of your support hand/fingers/thumb is in the way when you try to eject the device.
If you decide to "go" with this device for serious purposes, I recommend you ALWAYS use it, for every shot fired from a holster or low-ready position, EVERY time you hit the range. No exceptions. If you can't eject it 100% under calm range and/or competition conditions, then you should reconsider its use for serious purposes.
I tried it, helped others try it, and we ALL found problems with it in actual use. And I can assure you that the uncomfortable feeling about the Glock trigger action goes away once you are trained and practiced in its use.

The summer has brought out the best in many of us this year. Laidlaw Group client Boston's Best Cruises is a shining example. Boston's Best Cruises agreed to donate a portion of their ticket sales for their Sunset and Harbor Cruises to The FA Project for the entire summer season. As their agency, we were lucky enough to be able to introduce Boston Best Cruises to this extraordinary organization whose brand Laidlaw Group is helping to build. For us as an agency, meeting Richie and Maria has been a gift and we are grateful for the opportunity to help them.
The FA Project, a 501(c)(3) Charitable Organization established in Massachusetts, is dedicated to creating awareness of Friedreich's Ataxia (FA), a debilitating, degenerative neuromuscular disease. Co-founded by Winthrop, MA natives Maria and Richie Currier (who suffers from FA), the organization educates the public by increasing the visibility of related information and resources and creating a support system for those afflicted with FA. They also provide those living with FA with assistance and resources to help them live the best quality life possible.

Talking torque and cool cars at annual event in Pocatello
Chrome in the Dome enters 7th year
Pocatello, Idaho - Some people like them because they're shiny, powerful and comfortable.
But whatever draws you to them, the cars and motorcycles at this year's Chrome in the Dome made for some good fun.
From big, to little, to just plain cool, the vehicles at the event were certainly top of the line.
"We're getting different cars every year, and more and more people coming out," said Brock Gunter, an event organizer and auto instructor. "We're getting a lot of car owners and a lot of people from Utah coming up to enjoy the show."
The event is a fundraiser for the auto clubs on the ISU campus, which are a part of the skills USA organization.
The money they received will help pay for club activities.
"It helps us get out and do some field trips, tour some plants, learn a little more about the fields, the automotive field we're going into," said Jeremy Dustin, public relations officer for the Automotive Technology Skills USA. "It's a lot of fun. A lot of work, but a lot of fun."
Chrome in the Dome, which ran Friday, March 22 and Saturday, March 23, showcased vehicles from all eras and walks of life.
From off road vehicles, to muscles cars, to cars that have been restored, these automobiles look fresh off the assembly line.
"I think people are just amazed to see them in such good shape and maintained so well," Dustin said. "I think that really draws the crowd, too."
One show stopper was the trophy section.
These trophies are hand-crafted from car parts and given to winners of different areas, like best '50s car, best muscle car and the people's choice.
"The trophies - we've actually been working on since I started the program, which I started in January of last year," Dustin stated. "So the students have been working on them for over a year now to get them ready for the show."
A favorite aspect of the event were the opportunities for some to see cars from the past, and the nostalgia it brought back for some who used to drive them.

This is a follow-up post to the 2010 Student Aid Banquet.
Over the years of having our Student Aid Banquets, we've been really blessed to have so many students volunteer. Without their help, the donors would not have as good a time and the night would not be possible! Some of the tasks they help out with include:
- Setting up the day before
- Greeting and welcoming guests
- Personally escorting them to the registration table
- Assisting them in the parking lot
- Sharing their story with donors
- Coat check
- Ushering to seats
- Gathering Multnomah materials after banquet
- Bringing materials back to Multnomah and unloaded van
Student Organized
This year Bible College Junior AJ Elzinga (3rd from left, image above) recruited 16 fellow students to volunteer at our Student Aid Banquet on March 6th. AJ did this last year and it was a huge hit. They all came on time, dressed "to the nines", had a lot of fun, and really connected with our donors. Donors commented afterwards how nice it was to be greeted and assisted by students.
Here's what AJ had to say about why he got involved:
"It is important for student volunteers to help with the Student Aid Banquet because it provides us with an opportunity to be servants to our school. Multnomah has blessed each and every one of us by providing a quality Biblical education that we will use for the rest of our lives. I believe that we are blessed to be a blessing and that we can help our school raise support for future students to be blessed by simply giving some of our time to show donors what Multnomah is really all about: raising up and sending out servant leaders in the image of Jesus. Growing up in the midst of a generation that struggles deeply with cynicism, and a negative attitude towards authority after being burned so many times, it is a privilege to support the leadership of our school and to demonstrate the difference that Multnomah has made in each of our lives."
Thank you for your kind words, AJ. And thank YOU to all of the students who chipped in - you are truly a huge reason why we do what we do!

(B7) May a nonlicensee ship a firearm through the U.S. Postal Service?
A nonlicensee may not transfer a firearm to a non-licensed resident of another State. A nonlicensee may mail a shotgun or rifle to a resident of his or her own State or to a licensee in any State. The Postal Service recommends that long guns be sent by registered mail and that no marking of any kind which would indicate the nature of the contents be placed on the outside of any parcel containing firearms. Handguns are not mailable. A common or contract carrier must be used to ship a handgun.
