Country music is very popular in America and it was created in the Southern States in the 1920s. However, it is important to know that this term was used in the 1940s once the term hillbilly music was no longer being used. By the year 1922, this music was often heard on the radio. This was not the only place where this music was being heard as it was also being played in barns and barn dance programs were started to take place as well.
You might be shocked to learn that this music was not famous or popular with many different radio stations as some different stars were being turned away from the airways. But, there were still others that really understood that this music was going to be great for the different agricultural workers that were earning their wages on the farms and in the fields.
If you are wondering who some of the most popular singers were within this musical field then you will want to make sure that you are remembering Jimmie Rodgers and even the Carter Family. It might also be important for you to know that many of these stars were also recording blues music at the same time.
Many of the different instruments that are now used within this type of music were not often used in the early days either. In fact, in the early days the drums were not often used as they were considered to be too loud. It even took some time for many of the different artists to begin putting the electrical guitars in their bands to create a different type of sound.
Country Music stars now make a large portion of their income from touring. The concert tours are getting bigger and better each year. Kenny Chesney is an example of a Country Music star who has capitalized on tours. These tours can rival a Coldplay Tour in terms of size and popularity. The ticket sales for Coldplay Tickets Boston and Coldplay Tickets Chicago would often force a second night in the same city. If a Country Music star can accomplish that, then the tour would be very profitable.
It today's society many people are more familiar with the country pop music that has made its way onto the scene. You are going to see that this music has been derived from soft rock and country music and it is very popular with many teens and young adults. When you stop and think about the progression that country music has made you are going to see that the sounds have changed and it would be very difficult for anyone to say that it sounds like hillbilly music.

The immune system is the body's natural defense system that helps fight infections. The immune system is made up of antibodies, white blood cells, and other chemicals and proteins that attack and destroy substances such as bacteria and viruses that they recognize as foreign and different from the body's normal healthy tissues.
The immune system is also responsible for allergic reactions and allergies, which may occur when the immune system incorrectly identifies a substance (allergen), such as pollen, mold, chemicals, plants, and medicines, as harmful.
Sometimes the immune system also mistakenly attacks the body's own cells, which is known as an autoimmune disease.

Finally, here comes some serious snowfall for Utah.
The National Weather Service began Friday by issuing winter weather advisories for the Wasatch Mountains south of Interstate 80, the state's southern mountains and southeastern Utah's Moab area.
|Join the Discussion
|Post a Comment
The northern Utah portion of that wintry weather alert was to run through Saturday evening, bringing up to 9 inches of snow by late Friday night and another 8 inches by 11 p.m. Saturday. Valley locations were expecting an inch or two.
The southern mountains, meanwhile, were predicted to see about 6 inches of snowfall before noon Saturday. The southeastern corner of the state expected 1-2 inches.
The Utah Avalanche Center predicted risks for dangerous snowslides would be "considerable" on Saturday for the mountains near Salt Lake City, Ogden and Provo.
The Utah Division of Air Quality was raising "green," or healthy air quality banners statewide for Saturday.
Salt Lake City's high temperature Saturday was pegged at 38, down from Friday's forecast for 42 degrees; Ogden expected 36 and 43 degrees, respectively; Provo 40 and 44; Logan 37 and 41; Wendover 37 and 40; Duchesne 39 and 40; Cedar City 38 and 42; St. George 48 and 52; and Moab 42 and 43 degrees.

Anyone that has eaten with me knows that tempeh is my favorite major protein source. I can't get enough of it! I cook it a few times a week, and this recipe is a standby.
Sriracha Marinated Tempeh, takes about 40 minutes (including the marinating time), serves 1 as a main, 2 as a side.
To start, cook your tempeh in a pot of boiling water for about 5-8 minutes. This gets rid of a touch of bitterness from the tempeh, and will help it absorb your marinade.
Bring the rest of the ingredients together in a large bowl and mix until combined. When the tempeh is done cooking, drain it, and place it in the marinade. Let it sit at least 15 minutes; you can let it sit an hour, or overnight if desired.
Place the tempeh and the tomatoes in a pan and pan fry until lightly browned on each side: about 5 minutes on each side. Drizzle a little sauce into the pan every couple minutes for a nice glaze. Since the marinade has plenty of oil in it, you don't need to put any extra oil in your pan.
Let cool for a couple minutes, and enjoy! Goes great in pasta dishes, sandwiches, or on its own.
* This recipe can be made gluten free if you swap the soy sauce for liquid aminos. It is not soy free, but it is nut free, wheat free, and awesome.
So, my Junior Thesis is done! The semester is over! It is officially summer.
In my absence, I haven't been cooking much. But I've been so excited to get back into it with the arrival of some awesome summer fruits and veggies.
This Soba Noodle dish is the perfect summer lunch.
Soba Noodles with Bok Choy, takes about a half hour, serves 1 or 2.
To start, cook your soba noodles according to the instructions given on the box. Drain and set aside.
While cooking the noodles, sauté the bok choy in some oil until cooked through, about 8-10 minutes (or until a desired sauté).
Place the noodles, bok choy, chopped scallions, soy sauce, and sesame oil into the pot you cooked the noodles in. Lightly sauté for about 5-10 minutes, adding some salt if desired. Within the last minute or two of cooking, add the red pepper flakes.
Let cool down and enjoy!
If desired, lightly toasted cashews make an excellent garnish.
* To ensure this recipe is gluten free, use buckwheat soba noodles, or a noodle of your choice and make sure to use liquid aminos instead of soy sauce. This recipe is also nut free (without the cashews).
The first two weeks of the year, I always juice for 3-5 days, surrounded by a somewhat strict raw diet. The last week or so, I've been integrating all foods back into my diet. I naturally eat a lot of raw food and I usually drink a juice or two a day, but I've been extra careful not to load my palate with heavier foods.
The other day, I was walking through the green market in Union Sq, and I came across the most fragrant beautiful rosemary. What goes well with rosemary? Potatoes. I knew exactly what would make the best dinner. These hassle backed potatoes were perfectly satisfying, as well as being light enough to sit well.
Hassle Backed - Rosemary Potatoes, takes about an hour, serves 2-4.
Preheat your oven to 375 degrees F.
Simply wash your potatoes thoroughly, and using a sharp knife (cook's works best), delicately slice into the potatoes diagonally about 3/4 down. Repeat every couple centimeters, or however thick you desire between slices.
Cover in olive oil, place in pan, and coat with salt and about 3/4 of the rosemary. Make sure the rosemary also gets a nice coating of oil.
Bake for 40 minutes. Take out of oven, add the last bit of rosemary, and bake for another 5-10 minutes.
Enjoy! These potatoes are gluten free, soy free, wheat free, grain free, and yummy! They go great with ketchup or sriracha sauce!

Every year for as long as I can remember, my family has decorated Christmas cookies as an annual tradition. It's something I really look forward to around this time of year. Many Holiday traditions don't really apply to me and my family, so this is a really special one that is something we all really cherish. But, about 6-7 years ago, the decision to stop eating dairy and eggs halted this tradition. I had to figure out how to keep enjoying decorating (and more importantly eating), and make myself awesome cookies that made me forget about the old ones. Now I just have to figure out a recipe for the traditional Finnish Christmas Bread my grandmother always made!
Sugar Cookies: Christmas Edition!
Makes anywhere between 20-40 cookies, takes about an hour (depending on how quickly you decorate).
For decorating:
In an electric mixer (or by hand if you're a little adventurous and a lot crazy), beat the butter and sugar until very light and fluffy, about 4 minutes on an electric mixer. Then, add the egg replacer, water, vanilla paste, and baking powder. Beat for another 1 or 2 minutes. Add the flour slowly, and beat until a nice dough is formed.
Refrigerate overnight, or for about an hour (so you can roll it easily).
On a lightly floured surface, roll out the dough to about quarter inch thickness. If at any point the dough gets to warm to cut, stick in the fridge for 10 minutes. Cut out your shapes, and place on a non-stick baking pan, or on a pan lines with parchment paper.
To get maximum sprinkle stick-age, (and make sure you wash your hands before you decorate), dip your finger in the cup of water you set aside, and lightly coat the top of the cookie. Go crazy! This is my favorite christmas tradition. My family, and a couple select friends get together, have drinks, and decorate cookies all night! It's really a challenge to not eat all the cookies before Christmas even gets here.
This recipe is not Gluten Free, but it is soy free, nut free, and really a great simple cookie.
If you're anywhere near Brooklyn, go check out the Vegan Pop Up Shop at Pine Box Rock Shop!
Today, and next Saturday from 12-5pm! Directly off the Morgan L train stop.
Everything I bought is awesome! I made Hot Cocoa with the almond milk, powder, and dandies. So delicious!
Fresh Till Death is a really awesome company, I talked to the owner, and he said with 24 hours notice, they can deliver fresh made nut milks to most neighborhoods in north Brooklyn.
I also bought a shirt from Tafari, and talked to all the people from the Sea Shepherd Society. There's tons of jewelry, crafts, and fresh made food. It's really worth checking out.
Rabbit Foodies! I printed rabbit holiday cards. Please spread the word.
Hoppy Holiday cards! Perfect for you and your animal loving friends.
Letterpress and Screen printed on BFK Rives neutral PH paper.
I also was able to recycle the paper (to reduce waste to less than 5% of total paper bought) and make matching tags for gifts.
100% of the profit will be donated to Woodstock Farm Animal Sanctuary. All donations until December 31st are being matched by an anonymous donor. This is the sanctuary I volunteer at, and it means the world to me to be able to give money to them as frequently as I do. Please consider donating on your own.

I've been experimenting a lot with breakfast food, lately. I've been trying really hard to stray away from the typical bagel + tofu veggie cream cheese. I've also been super aware of the protein content of my breakfast, slowly trying to add more without losing taste, or having it be too much food for me to handle early in the day.
So I tried a bunch of "protein pancake" recipes, and finally landed on this super simple one. Some of the measurements might not be exact, due to me totally winging it, but it's pretty easy to tell when a mix is done correctly or not.
Walnut Protein Pancakes, makes about 6-10 pancakes (depending on size), takes about a half an hour.
*any protein powder works, I really enjoy the Vega All-In-One line, but yes, it's very expensive. Something I don't buy often.
To start, mash up your bananas until they are a super gooey consistency, then add your milk.
When adding the protein powder, you really have to use your gut and add a little bit at a time, until you reach the consistency of pancake batter you desire. I like it a little thicker, but you just need to add enough to make them hold together when cooking. If the protein powder is too chalky for your taste, try half protein powder, half chickpea flour or almond flour for a nice texture.
Next, chop up and add the walnuts. You can omit the walnuts, or use any nut of choice, almonds, macadamia, and peanuts would work really well.
Let the mixture settle, and warm up your pan with the butter or olive oil, on medium-low heat. When ready, ladle your mixture onto the pan and let cook until brown on each side, about 5-7 minutes on each side; more or less depending on taste.
Top with butter, maple syrup, strawberries, blueberries, whatever you like, and enjoy!
This recipe is soy free/gluten free/wheat free/sugar free (all depending on your powder and flour), and super filling!
So, because of Ms. Sandy, a bunch of friends and I were stuck in Gainesville, Florida for an additional 4 days after Fest 11 had wrapped up, and no, I'm not complaining. Gainesville rules, and has a huge amount of vegan food for a small little university city in central Florida.
The first day, we were all tired from flying at 8 am, and needed food. The Lunchbox is a cool little outdoor eatery right outside of the hotel we were staying in. I have been to Gainesville so many times, but never tried this place. I was recommended it by a friend, and it totally exceeded all expectations. I got the Fried Sushi Balls, Edamame Hummus, and a home made lemon peppercorn soda. So many strange, inventive flavors. And although I had a fried dish, it was not greasy and totally satisfying. Me and my hotel room mates made multiple trips there over the whole week. All the sodas were awesome, definitely try one.
And of course, being that I like punk, I like mexican food, and I love tempeh, Boca Fiesta is one of my absolute favorite places in Gainesville. I wait all year to go to this place. They source locally made tempeh, and for real, everything on their menu is spot on. Over the week, I had a tempeh burrito, tvp tacos, tempeh empanadas, guacamole, a whole lots of chips and salsa, and queso; lots and lots of queso. Boca Fiesta makes an awesome vegan queso, and I crave it whenever I'm not there. They put it on most of their foods, but I can seriously get down with a big ol' bowl of it and chips all by myself. Definitely a must-go place if you ever happen to be there.
And, every year at Fest, I go and grab Bagels and Noodles for breakfast before heading to registration. If you want a really filling breakfast for super cheap, this is your place. They make a breakfast special, with (you have to specify) tofu scramble, hash browns, and a bagel or toast, for $5. This place also has a wild selection of hot sauces, many of which I sampled. The "Pain is Good" bottle was definitely my favorite, but don't use too much! And for a bagel place not in New York, they make an ok bagel.
In the theme of traditions, every year, one of my first stops is Karma Cream, an all veg-freindly Ice cream/sandwich/bakery/coffee shop right on University. I get my punch card, and I managed to get it filled up by the end of the weekend, resulting in free ice cream! They have an incredible selection of vegan ice cream (and they also have dairy based ice cream, so pay attention to the labels in this place!), including horchatta, "liz lemon cookie", coconut cream crunch, cookie dough, and tons more. The sandwiches and the baked goods are also super awesome, I highly recommend the Cowboy cookie, the Pumpkin Spice doughnut, and the Chickpea wrap. My punch card purchase (as seen above) was a brownie sunday (they even warmed up the brownie), with coconut vanilla and mocha fudge ice cream, waffle cone pieces, cookie dough bits, and rainbow sprinkles. Talk about delicious.
A restaurant I love, but happened to miss out on this trip (that is definitely worth a mention) is Reggae Shack, a Jamaican eatery with some incredible veg options, and they also make smoothies bigger than your head for only $5. I've never seen anyone finish one themselves. The curry seitan and the veggie patties are highly recommended. One time at Fest, I drunkenly ordered 10 veggies patties to go and ate them (or gave them away? or possibly threw them at people?) over the course of the next couple hours. I don't actually remember doing so until I saw my bank statement the next bill I got.
The last place I'm going to mention is Leonardo's by the Slice, an awesome pizzeria that plays punk and has black flag and jawbreaker rip off shirts for sale. What's not to like? They also sell vegan slices! Most places in New York don't even do that. And one slice there is a meal and a half. The vegan slice is a huge veggie filled slice with tempeh crumbles all over it. So good, and super duper filling.
Now, I've never been in Gainesville any time other than the Fest. Little did I know, Gainesville had way more to offer in terms of food and sights. Every Wednesday, there is a farmer's market on SE 1st/1st. It's a pretty large market, with tons of veggies, local baked goods, artsy stands, some guy who makes juice in his basement (the juice was really incredible btw), and they even had a Loving Hut stand! The coolest part is, after hours, the stand gave out all their food to the hungry for free. They told me a Loving Hut branch is coming to Gainesville very soon. AND, over the years, I've been told countless times about the locally made Tempeh. Every restaurant has it on their menu, and I've always wanted to take some home. At this market, I finally got my chance; I bought a frozen block for only $4, and they offered other things, like homemade kimchi, tempeh protein powder (something I've never seen before), and a marinated tofu.
So all in all, Gainesville rules. I look forward to going every year. The city has a lot to offer for being so small; an awesome punk scene, awesome food, alligators, and the weather was absolutely beautiful. I can't wait to go back!
Things have been super hectic here. Hence my absence from the internet in general lately.
Regardless, I am determined to update you all with a bunch awesome fall/winter recipes to get you through the new year. Now that life has settled down (very little, but enough) you should be seeing quite a bit more of me.
But now onto the fun stuff!
I've been making a lot of soup lately. My room's heater is always on the fritz, and having a nice cup of soup while working is so delightful.
This Mushroom Miso soup is a super simple, super delicious starter to any meal, or a really savory little nosh.
Mushroom Miso Soup, serves 2 hungry people, takes about half an hour.
* If miso paste is unavailable, you can use a miso broth base. Vegetable broth works as well!
To start, wash, cut, and prepare the mushrooms, tofu, and nori. Set aside.*
Bring the broth to a boil, and once boiling, add the miso paste. I like the miso taste to be very present; if you don't, take away a couple tablespoons for a light taste.
It should fully resolve in about 2 minutes. Then, add the mushrooms and let cook through, about 5 minutes. Add the tofu, the nori, and some salt, and cook for about another 3-5 minutes. Take off the heat, and let cool a little before serving.
* If you want, you can stir fry/bake/cook the mushrooms and tofu before adding to the soup. A little hint of smokiness can be really delicious in a simple soup like this.
And enjoy!
This recipe is gluten free, wheat free, sugar free, and super awesome.

"To open a conversation about genital mulilation across gender lines is, I think, a gesture of solidarity in that it opens the trail to common ground between our experiences. Closing the door on that conversation obviously only shuts that down."—scarabicI agree. And I also agree with the broader point implicit in "...but this does not mean that the system we all maintain, overall, holds no gender-specific tortures for men". This is why I have for about ten years self-described as an "anti-sexist" and not as a feminist. It's not because I think that sexism against men is comparable in scope and quality to sexism against women; but that a) I believe that the feminist cause had reached a point where it needed to redefine male roles in order to redefine female roles, and thus, a general anti-sexism serves that need; and that b) sexism against men on its own terms deserves attention and that, finally, anti-sexism should be the ultimate social goal.
"So, in other words, the whole problem here is basically languagehat's fault for not posting about circumcision/mgm instead of fgm, and you have merely been correcting this oversight?"—tazHey, look! What do you know? I didn't post to the thread in the blue. There goes that theory.

CDN - Content Delivery Network
CDN is short for content delivery network.
A content delivery network (CDN) is a system of distributed servers (network) that deliver webpages and other Web content to a user based on the geographic locations of the user, the origin of the webpage and a content delivery server.
This service is effective in speeding the delivery of content of websites with high traffic and websites that have global reach. The closer the CDN server is to the user geographically, the faster the content will be delivered to the user. CDNs also provide protection from large surges in traffic.
Servers nearest to the website visitor respond to the request. The CDN copies the pages of a website to a network of servers that are dispersed at geographically different locations, caching the contents of the page. When a user requests a webpage that is part of a content delivery network, the CDN will redirect the request from the originating site's server to a server in the CDN that is closest to the user and deliver the cached content. The CDN will also communicate with the originating server to deliver any content that has not been previously cached.
The process of bouncing through a CDN is nearly transparent to the user. The only way a user would know if a CDN has been accessed is if the delivered URL is different than the URL that has been requested.
Content delivery networks are used for B2B interactions and in serving content to consumers. Today, as more aspects of daily life move online, organizations use content delivery network to accelerate static content, dynamic content, mobile content, ecommerce transactions, video, voice, games and so on.

Enlightened despots were always a strange concept to me. The idea of somebody ruling iron-fisted over an entire empire never seemed enlightened to me, but I suppose back then things were different. For Russia, Catherine the Great brought the land into a new age. Despite her empowerment of the oligarchy, she caught the country up with western Europe—effectively solidifying Russia as a global power. Though she rose to power in questionable ways, she sought the counsel of some of the most cherished thinkers of the time as she lead her country. That's cool I guess.

Winter in New York can seem endless. Frankly, that's fine with me. I hate the summer—it's hot, it smells and the streets are crowded. In winter, it's cold, empty of crowds (except the holiday shoppers) and familiar. Were it my choice, the city would be locked in an endless winter. Endless winters were the specialty of C.S. Lewis' White Witch from The Lion, The Witch and The Wardrobe. In her bid for control of Narnia, the parallel world beyond the doors of an enchanted wardrobe, she kept it a constant state of frostiness. The book, which everybody should read and re-read, is the story for the battle of Narnia's freedom from winter.

By HAYLEY HARMON6 News Anchor/Reporter
KNOXVILLE (WATE) - Fans of Lady Vols basketball have been chanting "We Back Pat" ever since former head coach Pat Summitt announced she has Alzheimer's disease.
Fans showed just how much they back her at Sunday's "We Back Pat" game against Alabama.
It's all part of "We Back Pat" week, a fundraiser sponsored by the Southeastern Conference.
At every SEC women's basketball game this week, players wore shirts with the slogan during pregame warm ups.
But the weeklong campaign isn't just supporting Pat Summitt. It's supporting everyone who has the disease.
Before the start of the game, the beloved legend herself made her way onto the court.
She was met with a standing ovation from fans decked out in "We Back Pat" shirts along with hugs from all the players and new UT Women's Head Basketball Coach Holly Warlick
"My whole life I've been a Lady Vols fan. It's just so easy with Pat Summitt as a coach. It's just amazing. She's just an ambassador for the whole state," said Bobby Noe, a fan attending the game.
Many fans watched Summitt coach for decades.
"I have been watching the Lady Vols play basketball since they were at alumni gym. Pat had been here one year when I started going to the games," said fan Connie Oglesby.
They love Tennessee basketball because of her.
"Pat Summitt has just left a legacy here that you can't ignore if you live in this area," said fan Becca Franklin.
So they're at the game to give back to the woman who gave so much to them and to Tennessee.
Proceeds from this week's donations and T-shirt sales benefit The Pat Summitt Foundation, which funds Alzheimer's research, support for patients, and awareness of the disease.
"It's because of everyone's support here and because of the SEC that Pat is going to be able to defeat Alzheimer's and help everyone throughout America who is suffering with this disease," said Patrick Wade, director of The Pat Summitt Foundation.
Several area organizations also presented checks to the foundation at the game.
"I have donated and in fact I bought a new shirt today even though I already have one. Bought a new one today just to support the movement," said Oglesby.
Everyone in the SEC is coming together because Summitt put her brave face on this disease.
And her Tennessee family is following suit.
"It's not just a Tennessee thing. You saw the Alabama players had on the T-shirts too. It's something that's going across the country so it's raising huge awareness for it. If affects not only the individual but their family as well and we are her family as this point," said Franklin.
Fans can also donate to the foundation by texting the word "COACH" to the number 50555.

Exxon: US energy revival has staying powerBy JONATHAN FAHEY
The Associated Press | December 12,2012AP PHOTO
Steam rises from towers at an Exxon Mobil refinery in Baytown, Texas. Exxon says the energy renaissance in the U.S. will continue and predicts that North America will become a net exporter of oil and gas by the middle of the next decade.NEW YORK Exxon says the energy renaissance in the U.S. will continue and predicts that North America will become a net exporter of oil and natural gas by the middle of the next decade.
The companys annual long-term energy outlook, released Tuesday, says the rapid growth of production in the U.S. and Canada, along with improved energy efficiency, will lead to more oil and natural gas being sent overseas.
Exxon Mobil Corp.s annual outlook is noted by investors and policymakers, and the company says its conclusions shape its decisions about where to invest. The main conclusions dovetail with recent forecasts from the U.S. government and others.
Among the main themes from Exxons report:
n Demand for energy will grow worldwide, but slower than the overall economy because of efficiency gains.
n Energy demand will remain flat in the developed world; nearly all of the growth in demand will occur in developing countries.
n The biggest shift will be growth in the use of natural gas and a decline in the use of coal. By 2025, natural gas is expected to overtake coal as the second most used fuel, after oil.
n By 2025, the U.S. will likely be exporting natural gas in large volumes and producing more oil while consuming less. Canada will continue to be a major crude exporter.
While Exxon does make assumptions about energy prices to make its predictions, it does not disclose what those price assumptions are.
Oil and natural gas production in the U.S. has surged thanks to the combination of hydraulic fracturing, or fracking, and horizontal drilling that allows companies to tap hydrocarbons trapped in shale and other tight rock formations. As a result, natural gas prices have plummeted and the nations dependence on oil imports has been dramatically reduced.
The International Energy Agency and the U.S. Energy Departments Energy Information Administration have also highlighted the North American oil and gas boom in recent reports. The IEA said last month that the U.S. could overtake Saudi Arabia as the worlds top crude producer by 2020.
But fracking has raised environmental concerns. Opponents say drilling fluid or wastewater can seep into water supplies if wells are not constructed properly or if wastewater is not disposed of properly.
Exxons report predicts that the use of electricity will grow quickly about 1.3 billion people worldwide do not yet have access to it. But electricity demand in the developed world will remain about flat as devices and appliances get more efficient.
The way electricity will be produced will continue to shift. The use of natural gas, nuclear and renewables will grow and the use of coal will decline. Wind, solar and biofuels will grow the fastest, at 5.8 percent per year. Still, by 2040 they will contribute only 3 percent of the worlds energy needs.
The growth in natural gass contribution to the world energy mix will be the most pronounced, according to Exxons outlook. This view led Exxon to place a big bet on natural gas when it spent about $31 billion to buy XTO Energy in 2009, a price that analysts now say was much too high. But Exxons rivals such as Chevron Corp. and Royal Dutch Shell are also leaning more heavily on natural gas.
Still, Exxon says there will be plenty of oil left to power cars, trucks and planes. By 2040 less than half of the worlds recoverable oil will have been produced, Exxons report predicts.
Oil will remain the dominant transportation fuel, allowing demand to grow almost 1 percent a year. Demand for fuel to power heavy trucks will grow fastest, while demand for passenger car fuel will peak worldwide in 2020 as fuel efficiency gains offset the larger number of cars on the road. Worldwide, average fuel economy of passenger cars will rise to 47 miles per gallon by 2040, up from 27 now. Hybrids will outsell conventional gasoline cars by then, Exxon says.
Worldwide emissions of carbon dioxide from energy sources will peak in about 2030. From there, worldwide emissions will gradually decline as transportation fuel economy improves and coal use declines. In the U.S., emissions per person will decline dramatically over the period, but the typical American in 2040 will still emit far more carbon dioxide than the typical Asian or European.MORE IN National / World BusinessCAMBRIDGE, Mass.

Album Review: Lil Wayne - Tha Carter IV
Posted by Lindsay Carolla on 09/07 at 01:36 PM
Grade: A-
Lil Wayne's ninth studio album Tha Carter IV (and it's exclusive counterpart Tha Carter IV: Deluxe Edition that includes a few extra songs) dropped on August 29, 2011 and was met with much criticism. Too much criticism, if you ask me (some of the haters include Reuters and The Washington Post).
The problem lies within the pre-release hype, which can be seen regularly in the hip-hop genre. The higher the anticipation in such a competitive market, the farther an album can fall. Lil Wayne and his associates decided it would be brilliant to release what they knew where the strongest songs of the album as singles before the whole album actually dropped. What ever happened to the good old days when only one single was presented early to kiss the airwaves and promote the album leaving us yearning for more? The rest of the songs on the album are just fine. They employ Wayne's definitive clever lyricism, confidence, and unique perspective. After all, there is a reason, as an artist, he is larger than life. Had Weezy simply released only one single at a reasonable time before the album drop date, critics might have been much more impressed.
But he didn't. Tha Carter IV's first single "6 Foot 7 Foot" was released all the way back on December 16, 2010. It featured Cory Gunz and a newly freed from prison Weezy trying to recover his self-proclaimed title of "best rapper alive." The single erupted on the hip-hop scene. It was celebrated for its high tempo and lyrical prowess, which left us yearning for more. However, in early June, Lil Wayne's label, Universal Motown Republic Group, pushed back the original release date of July 20 to August 29, 2011.
To soften the blow, Lil Wayne supplied us with two more singles off the album. First came "John (If I Die Today)" on March 24, 2011. The song was named for it's nod to John Lennon and featured the leader of the Maybach Music Group, Rick Ross. The hook and other verses from Ross's own song "I'm Not a Star" from his album Teflon Don released July 20, 2010 are used in "John (If I Die Today)" as a sort of extraterrestrial-themed remix. The compilation song at the time of its release served to promote both party's upcoming LPs. Then on May 31, 2011, a third single "How to Love" became available and quickly ignited the airwaves. It peaked at #5 on the US Billboard Hot 100. Lil Wayne performed both of these singles as the finale performance on MTV's 2011 Video Music Awards on August 28, 2011. The incessant censorship "bleep" noise that could be heard during the performance demonstrated why "How to Love"—an easy R&B borderline pop song for the girls that's not indicative of Lil Wayne's edgier street persona—climbed the charts higher than the lyrically superior "John (If I Die Today)" that features the hip-hop heavyweight Rick Ross (no pun intended) and much profanity.
Though Lil Wayne and his label had plans to release the album through digital download following the performance, Tha Carter IV leaked song by song on Wednesday August 24, 2011, just five days before its official drop date. "It's Good" featuring Jadakiss and Drake made the most noise, but not because of the talent. All three artists did a stellar job over an unstoppable beat that you can really nod your head to. However, the skill was overshadowed by a single rhyme directed at Jay-Z. Lil Wayne raps, "Talkin' 'bout baby money? I got your baby money/Kidnap your b****, get that 'how much you love your lady money" in response to the lyrics, "I'm like really half a billi n****/really you got baby money/keep it real with n****s/N****s ain't got my lady money," spit by Jay-Z on "H*A*M" from his latest album Watch the Throne, a compilation project with Kanye West.
After all the drama associated with Tha Carter IV, it's not a surprise that it wasn't an instant hit. Lil Wayne knew which songs on the album were the best and made the mistake of releasing them too early. Had "6 Foot 7 Foot," "John (If I Die Today)," and "It's Good" with its lyrical assault on Jay-Z been released as a whole with the album, fans would have been white-knuckle gripping their steering wheels with album playing uninterrupted over the speakers in their cars. Sadly, that wasn't the case.
Because the roses had been picked out of the bunch, the leftover tracks on the album are being unfairly berated. It's unreasonably idealistic to think that each and every song on an album is going to be a gem. That is tied up in all kinds of opinion and bias, which maybe reaches a consensus every 30 years; I'm thinking of Bruce Springsteen's Born in the USA. If we look at the individual songs for what they are, it's still classic Wayne with interesting wordplay and twisting similes and metaphors. "Intro" goes hard from the get-go with a steady beat that follows Lil Wayne's words like directions. He says "a capella" over silence. "Megaman" has the same excited high-pitch that's found in "6 Foot 7 Foot" with smart phrases and a beat with a lot of bass that's reminiscent of early [Young] Jeezy. "President Carter" shows a more serious Wayne over a slow piano and samples the 39th American president's voice as an intro and chorus. Bruno Mars, the pop industry's latest It kid, sings the chorus in "Mirror", a particularly poignant expression by Lil Wayne. In addition to Cory Gunz, Rick Ross, Drake, Jadakiss, and Bruno Mars, other talents such as T-Pain, Tech N9ne, John Legend, Bun B, Shyne, Nas, and Busta Rhymes are featured on Tha Carter IV to compile a lengthy roster.
The album may not be the absolute best material we've heard from Wayne, but it's definitely good. Lil Wayne is judged too much for his brand name and the "best rapper alive" declaration, and it puts an extraordinary amount of pressure on his music. The album is significantly superior compared to his Rebirth, an experimental rap-rock mistake, and his mixtape prelude for Tha Carter IV, Sorry 4 the Wait that was meant to satisfy hungry fans after the label pushed back the LP's drop date. "Nightmares of the Bottom" alone from Tha Carter IV with incredible lyrics like "Now I'm lookin' in my rearview/I see the world in it/I try to slow down, get rear-ended/Pause like a red light, I'm dead, right?/Highway to Heaven, God, can you see my headlights?" allow us to forget the disturbing image of Lil Wayne with an electric guitar.
You may call him Weezy, Lil Wayne, President Carter, or Tunechi, but please don't call him or this album overrated. Especially considering that in a recent interview with XXL magazine, he hinted that this might be his last album. Years from now the haters who criticized Tha Carter IV will be somewhere wishing Weezy made more. Did I just rap?
Tha Carter IV is available at Amazon.com:

Gestational trophoblastic disease (click on a topic):
what's new regarding gestational trophoblastic disease
What is this strange sounding disease? "Chorion-" is a Greek word meaning "fetal membrane" or in plain English "placenta". This is the fleshy tissue,rich in blood vessels and located between the uterine wall and the fetus in a pregnant woman. "-carcinoma" simply is another name for cancer.So we can think of the choriocarcinoma being a cancer that is derived from placental tissue. "Hydatidiform mole" is also derived from the Greek and means literally a "mass consisting of water filled blisters in the uterus". We would have to go back a few centuries, long before high-tech medicine, when this name was coined by physicians who looked at women who had died from complications of this disease. They found a mass in the womb with decomposed fetal parts and grape like cystic elements, which reminded them of fluid filled cysts. The shorter term "mole" is often used synonymously for brevity reasons.
Nomenclature regarding gestational trophoblastic disease:
molar pregnancy : abnormal pregnancy where embryo died or did not develop
invasive molar pregnancy : mole is starting to invade the uterine wall
choriocarcinoma : established cancer, which spreads first locally, then systemically
There is another area of medicine where the strange name "hydatid disease" appears. This is in the context of the tapeworm echinococcus, which orginates from dogs and where in the larval stage fluid filled sacs are formed in the liver of the affected human host. This has nothing to do with this chapter here, but historically it was the same group of pathologists and physicians in Europe who gave these diseases names, just to confuse us today.
"Gestational trophoblastic disease" would be the heading for this chapter. Just a brief explanation again what the language means: "gestational" means "pregnancy related". "Trophoblastic" relates to the precursor tissue of the placenta, which is responsible for getting the small embryonic tissue implanted into the uterine wall. These are the same cells that later can turn aggressive and eventually malignant as the choriocarcinoma.There is a spectrum of gestational trophoblastic disease. After the birth of a baby in about 1 in 1200 of all pregnancies in the U.S. a small piece of placenta that stayed behind in the uterine wall after birth turned into a "benign hydatiform mole". It's called benign, because it is not cancer yet at this stage. However, in the following weeks or within 2-4 months it can very quickly turn malignant, meaning that it turns into an invasive cancer, called first "locally invasive mole" and then "choriocarcinoma". In other words there is a spectrum from the benign mole to the invasive cancer.
The reason I included this type of cancer is that it is extremely important that both the mother of the new baby and the doctor have a suspicious mind about the possibility of a mole or choriocarcinoma. This is particularly the case when there is vaginal bleeding outside of the menstrual cycle and other bleeding irregularities post pregnancy. A simple blood test, as I am describing below, can rule this possibility out or confirm the problem. As always with cancer, early diagnosis is key, and there is a very effective treatment. Too many women die needlessly because of delayed diagnosis of this condition and once it has progressed to choriocarcionoma it is one of the most vicious tumors, which is extremely difficult to treat.

In my career, I've sorted of drifted like a wraith among various technology stacks and platforms, working on web sites, desktop apps, drivers, or even OS/kernel level stuff. Anything that you might work on has its enthusiasts, its peculiar culture, and its best practices and habits. It's interesting to bop around a little and get some cross-pollination so that you can see concepts that are truly transcendent and worth knowing.

Law enforcement officers across the bay area will be out in force on the waterways this Memorial Day weekend. They say they want to make sure boaters are safe and sober while operating their watercraft. Marine Deputy Paul Shute says this operation is more about education than writing citations. "If someone, for example, doesn't have a whistle, we'll give them a whistle. Meet that requirement. That's the sheriff's position that they're safe. If they're short a life jacket, then we have life jackets that we can provide to them." Said Shute. "Well, we're doing a lot of public relations, meeting the people that are out boating. Inspecting their vessels. Making sure they have the right amount of life jackets, fire extinguishers..."
Shute says deputies will be at boat ramps across the county, as well as on the water. "Predominantly, we'll be working the eastern shoreline, from downtown Tampa through cockroach, through Ruskin, Apollo Beach and the Alafia. If you're out here on the water, there's a high probability you'll see one of our boats. We're going to be just about everywhere. "
Boaters we caught up with say they welcome the law enforcement presence, as well as the safety inspections. Christopher McLaughlin says he sees a lot of crazy stuff on the water, especially on a busy holiday weekend. "Well, as a supporter of law enforcement, no kidding, this is a very good idea." Said McLaughlin. "I've seen a lot of derelict vessels out here."

Too Cheap to Ignore or Value Trap?
Chad is a member of The Motley Fool Blog Network -- entries represent the personal opinion of the blogger and are not formally edited.
It's interesting how different companies go through phases in their lifetimes. Many fast-growing companies start out with both their earnings and stock price growing fast, and then an event happens that changes everyone's perspective. With Netflix (NASDAQ: NFLX) everything was going along fine until the company's fateful decision to drastically change its pricing plans. This huge and unexpected change caused many subscribers to cancel in outrage, and investors were left wondering what was the company thinking? While this event is now over a year old, it still has left a negative impression on many former customers, and the stock has never been quite the same. However, when a company falls this far, I can't help but wonder if the stock could finally be a good value.
Streaming Star or Content Producer?
Netflix has always reminded me somewhat of Amazon.com (NASDAQ: AMZN), which is ironic because Amazon is now one of their primary competitors. Both companies have been expanding both domestically and internationally trying to take over their market segment. The difference is while Amazon has expanded its offerings and seems to be constantly entering new fields, Netflix started out as a DVD rental business and is now transforming itself into a streaming media business. By all accounts, the transformation of Netflix is nearly complete, as the majority of its subscribers are streaming members. The problem for Netflix investors is understanding if Netflix in the future will be a streaming company that offers content from multiple studios, or if the company will become a studio itself. The Motley Fool's own Rick Munarriz has been consistently bullish on the company. In fact, he recently wrote two different articles showing the two different sides of Netflix. The challenge for investors is Netflix needs to either stick to what it knows or move forward with the transformation to a content producer.
The Netflix We Know:
To be clear, I firmly believe that Netflix offers a particular value to a segment of the population. The service isn't for everyone, and there seems to be constant complaints about not enough content. However, over 30 million people have subscribed to the service and this number has consistently grown, aside from their pricing debacle of last year. In one of his articles Rick asked, "Is Netflix Finally Too Cheap To Ignore"? Clearly he wasn't referring to the price of the stock relative to earnings, as much as the price of the stock relative to where it used to trade. He pointed out that Netflix's emphasis on streaming is giving the company a scalable advantage that few will be able to catch up to. The problem is, he also made the argument against streaming in mentioning its lower price point, weaker contribution profits, and losses incurred in expanding internationally.
Netflix The Next HBO?
If Netflix expects to become the equivalent of a premium television channel, then the company needs to make major changes to the way that it presents it service. Rick has also written about this by suggesting that, "You Need Netflix More Than It Needs You." His idea is the company's original content such as Lillyhammer, Arrested Development, House of Cards, and others in the future are the key to Netflix's future profitability. He even says, "just wait until Netflix has just one original programming hit and learns to milk it appropriately." There are a few issues I see with this theory. First, Netflix has positioned itself as a cheap way to stream thousands of titles as much as the customer wants, and on the customers own schedule. Pay-TV channels do offer the ability to stream titles, but original content is not available on the customer's schedule and is based more on the studios production schedule. In addition, most pay-TV channels like HBO and Showtime cost about twice as much as Netflix. With many Netflix members tied to the $7.99 price point for thousands of titles, asking them to pay twice as much for a small amount of original content just doesn't seem realistic.
Netflix's most likely future path is a combination of unlimited streaming and original content for an additional price. The easiest way to envision this type of transformation is to look at Netflix's primary library similar to a traditional cable lineup. Members who wish to watch titles from the existing catalog can continue to do so for $7.99. If members are interested in the company's original programming, those shows will cost extra on a month-to-month basis. I know the company has been reluctant to accept this strategy before. However, at $7.99 a month it's very unlikely that Netflix will be able to afford ever-increasing content licenses in addition to original content costs. The only other option is for Netflix to continue down its current road losing money each time it enters international markets.
As the ever dwindling DVD subscribers continue to disappear, the company's cash flow will be challenged by thinner margins even with a higher streaming customer base. I believe this will cause Netflix to reach a fork in the road where it will yet again have to make a transformative decision. Offering unlimited streaming for the existing catalog, and additional pricing to access original content makes good sense. The company must adjust its pricing to more closely match what it's offering to customers. CEO Reed Hastings might not want to hear this, but his current strategy won't work over the long term.
Want to Learn More?
The precipitous drop in Netflix shares since the summer of 2011 has caused many shareholders to lose hope. While the company's first mover status is often viewed as a competitive advantage, the opportunities in streaming media have brought some new, deep pocketed, rivals looking for their piece of a growing pie. Can Netflix fend off this burgeoning competition, and will its international growth aspirations really pay off? These kinds of issues are a must know for investors, which is why The Motley Fool released a brand new premium report on Netflix.

Keeping a person cool in this hot weather can be challenging enough, but what happens if your pet comes down with a heat related illness?
FOX28 talked to Dr. Rick Nelson from the Animal Aid Clinic South in Elkhart about how to know if your pet is too hot and he said there are some warning signs to look for.
Some signs he said to look out for are if they're staggering as if they're drunk, panting excessively, or if they start having seizures.
Dr. Nelson said that animals do not handle heat as well as people do.
Nelson said, "So to suppose that well I'm hot, but I'm ok, and so it must be ok for my dog or cat is not necessarily true."
If a pet does suffer from any of those symptoms mentioned, try to get them cooled down as fast as possible by saturating them with cold water. Then get them to the vet as soon as possible.
Most importantly, don't leave your pet in a hot car for any amount of time, even if the windows are down.

Dear Mahnaz,
Being an experienced Word user, I'm pretty sure there is no way to disable automatic document recovery. Word has a feature called autosave that saves a copy of the current document to a temporary file every X minutes (you can tell Word what X is; it defaults to 10 minutes). If Word crashes or becomes non-responsive, this file will be presented as a recovered file the next time you open Word. You can, I suppose, set X to something like 600 minutes, so that Word never writes a recovery file. To do this, use the Tools/Options/Save menu.
Since you also say that Word sometimes won't start due to memory problems, I suspect that the files it wants to recover are the ones you tried to open. If that is the case, then Word generates an autorecover file when it starts up, before it tries to display the document. And if this is true, then my suggestion to set X to a high value is useless, since the recovery file is generated as soon as you open a file.
The basic issue, then, is fixing your system so that there are no memory problems. Since this appears to be an intermitent problem, my guess is that the Word program is corrupted, or possibly the operating system itself.
I've experienced the display memory problem myself, though not for 10 years or so. As I recall, I had to remove and reinstall Word, and possibly also Windows.
Hopefully someone else will have more helpful answers.
Good luck,

The Whitman Tropical Fruit Pavilion provides visitors with a trip to the tropics where they will be able to view, feel and even possibly taste some of the most exotic tropical fruit species found in places like Borneo, the Amazon, Indonesia, Thailand and Malaysia. Our pavilion was dedicated on November 8, 2003. The pavilion, funded by a five million dollar donation from the Whitman family, features specially chosen and grafted trees that will allow them to fruit earlier, with superior quality, making them horticulturally significant from their wild counterparts. The fruit trees located in the pavilion are indigenous to the acidic soils of the jungles and in order to protect these trees from the alkaline rocky soil of Florida, engineers were required to excavate the area below the pavilion. The acidic soil is maintained by using mulch and water from an acidic cistern. The pavilion must provide both a warm humid environment above and acidic soil below, protecting the rare specimens from root to canopy.

The Edible Garden Plaza is a formal landscape design with an urban forestry focus. This display has a strong component to the landscape design; with radiating plots of economic crops, transecting rows of select fruit trees and a synopsis of the Fairchild Tropical Botanic Garden Tropical Fruit Program.
William (Bill) Whitman
"Bill spent a lifetime traveling the world to collect the most exotic of tropical fruit—now these rare edible jewels have a permanent home at Fairchild Tropical Botanic Garden," —Dr. Richard J. Campbell, Senior Curator of Tropical Fruit.
Bill Whitman was born in Chicago in 1915. He began spending winters in Miami Beach with his parents when he was 2 years old. This sparked his love of Florida and aquatic adventure. While Bill graduated with a business BA from the University of Florida, his life took a decidedly different turn. With his love of the sea, Bill began working with Warner Brothers Studios on various documentaries about sea sports and wildlife. He had been selected for this work because he was a world-class surfer and a spear fisherman. Working in the South Pacific, he developed his love of exotic fruits, particularly the breadfruit and mangosteen. Upon his return to the United States in 1955 he, along with other horticultural visionaries, founded the Rare Fruit Council International (RFCI). Bill carried many firsts in his life and held many titles but he will be remembered for his horticultural passion, his love for family, and his dedication to Fairchild Tropical Botanic Garden. The Whitman Tropical Fruit Pavilion, a gift from Bill and his wife Angie, symbolizes his passion for tropical fruit. Mr. William "Bill" Whitman (1915-2007) personified all that is admirable about a life dedicated to horticulture. He will be missed.

Canadian sports lost a prominent and respected individual on Monday with the passing of Frank D. Selke Jr.
He was 83. While best known as a celebrated hockey executive and sports broadcaster, Selke became involved with Special Olympics in 1969 as a hockey executive working for the California Golden Seals. He stayed involved with the Special Olympics movement for the rest of his life.
Selke Jr. - the son of Montreal Canadiens general manager and Hall of Famer Frank J. Selke - worked as an executive for the Canadiens from 1951 to 1965 and was part of six Stanley Cup-winning teams. He also part of the Canadiens broadcasts during the 1960s whole working in public relations for the club.
Selke Jr. became president of the Oakland Seals in 1967 and became the team's general manager. He resigned in 1971 and later became vice-president of the Canadian Sport Network, producers of Hockey Night in Canada.
In the 1980s, Harry "Red" Foster, Special Olympics Canada's founder, encouraged Selke Jr. to take on a bigger role. As chair of the Board of Directors of Special Olympics Ontario, Frank established greater financial stability for the organization by attracting community support. He heightened national awareness by persuading his colleagues at the Canadian Sport Network to include segments about Special Olympics on Hockey Night in Canada.
He went on to contribute at the national level, serving on the Special Olympics Canada Board of Directors for eleven years. After retiring from the Canadian Sport Network in 1992, he joined the Special Olympics Canada National Office as Executive Vice President where he helped to establish a national partnership program, and was instrumental in the success of this undertaking and the growth of the Special Olympics movement in Canada.
In lieu of flowers, Frank D. Selke Jr.'s family asks that a donation be made to Special Olympics Canada.

Though none of his athletes advanced to the Masters round of the postseason, Patterson coach Jason Oliveira was proud of their performances.
"The girls not only got to compete in a section tournament, but were also able to play among some of the best female golfers in northern California high schools," Oliveira said.
Patterson's Simone Grice was the leading local golfer at the Division IV tournament at the Diablo Grande Ranch Course. She shot 122 on the par-73 course.
"Simone is a steady player, and in only her second year of playing golf she qualified for the divisional tournament," said Patterson coach Jason Oliveira. "We will be expecting great things from her moving into next season."
Other Patterson golfers competing in the Division IV event included Vicky Cruz and Sadie Schut. Cruz carded a score of 127, while Schut concluded her season with a round of 151.
"Vicky, like Simone, was a steady contributor," Oliveira said. "Her consistency helped keep us in the mix of the top four teams throughout our league season."
The Division IV tournament marked the end of Schut's remarkable run on the Tigers' golf team.
"Sadie went from never playing the game, to qualifying for the divisionals in one season," Oliveira said. "Although she did not have her best round at the divisionals, she should be very proud of her accomplishment as it is a testament to her hard work, dedication, and speaks volumes to what kind of competitor she is."

Creatinine is a waste product formed by the breakdown of a substance (creatine) important for converting food into energy (metabolism). The creatinine is filtered out of the blood by the kidneys and then passed out of the body in urine.
Creatinine is produced at a steady rate and is affected very little by diet or normal physical activities. If the kidneys are damaged and cannot function normally, the amount of creatinine in the urine decreases while the amount of creatinine in the blood increases.

2012 in review.
1. Deal with my health and fitness issues.
Well I sure stuck to that! I've pretty much worked out what sets off my endometriosis and have had several pain free periods lately. I started a strength training program and I'm now the fittest/strongest I've been in years. I saw a physio about my hip problems and while I have not fixed that issue I at least know what the problem is now.
2. To run 10km without stopping.
Running the full 12km City to Bay fun run pretty much dealt with that!
3. To get more organised.
As usual this was an epic fail. :) But I shall resolve to do this once again this year. Hope springs eternal eh?
4. To switch my crafting from fun to profitable.
Well the big problem with this one was my total loss of craft mojo this year. I did create quite a few things but not in the way I used to (none of it was just for fun.) I still really haven't got it back yet so this year is likely to be rather uncrafty.
5. To stop wearing my nursing bras.
Done! Now the search is on for the perfect sports bra. :)
Felix started school and loved it, Poppy started childcare and tolerated it. I have not gone back to work yet but I did a work related course during the year and now that Poppy can cope with childcare I feel better about looking for work. All in all it was a good year and I achieved a great deal of personal growth (both mentally and physically.) I think 2013 is my chance to build on all the ground work I put down in 2012 and make some big changes in my life.
3 comments:
Sometimes, giving in to not having that mojo might just work! :) Glad to know that you've made some great inroads towards the things you'd like to do more of! I can't wait to see what you'll end up doing in 2013. :)ReplyDelete
So glad to see that someone else blogs as infrequently as I do! I try to blog some of the bits and pieces that I manage to create from time to time- for my own future self to reflect upon- but I totally get the 'no feedback' thing. If no-one else seems to share your passion it's hard to get back to the blog very often.ReplyDelete
I followed you over here via this little pathway: I was looking at Heather Bailey fabrics; then followed a link to a photo of some finished products on flickr; somehow came across your sewing projects; and then eventually jumped here wanting to see if you had anymore local (ie Aussie) advice on resources for sewing. Does that make me a 15-minute stalker? Hahaha (oh I hope not...)
I felt I had to comment though when I saw your first paragraph mention the pain you are having with endometriosis. I have suffered this fate for far too long, but finally have a medium-term solution. It doesn't totally get rid of all pain but it is a great improvement. I had an IUD (a Mirena) fitted a couple of years ago after suffering through 52 days of menstruation!! This was preceded by years and years of girly troubles.
The Mirena delivers a small amount of progesterone to the uterus on a regular basis. Unlike using Provera about 15 years ago (which saw me put on tremendous amounts of weight that I have since struggled to budge), there aren't too many noticeable side effects with the Mirena, though it does take a few months to start working its magic.
For birth control (not that I need it- thanks to the endometriosis I've never been able to conceive) it would usually get changed every five years. Unfortunately with endo, it has to be changed every 2-3 years. I had mine changed recently and am still in some pain but I'm greatly relieved that it won't last so long. And I don't have to put up with periods every month!
You might already know all about this, but I thought I should mention it anyway, since it took so long before it was offered (or even suggested) to me. I hate it when people know a solution to something but never think to communicate it, so I thought I should speak up.
Anyway, you can look into it or not- I'll never know. Just hope I haven't sounded too forthright or nosey?
cheerio, Lou
Hi there. just touching base so you know i eventually get around to reading these :)ReplyDelete
