Exersize and meditation help me a lot with my PMS. Depending on what you're comfortable with, meditation may or may not help you, but everything is worth a shot.
I have awful terrible horrible no good very bad PMS too; irritibility, back aches, cramps, fatigue, diarreah, sometimes vomiting, the whole nine yards.
I always feel the best on my period during marching season, because during that time of the year I am most active. The light exersize takes away most of the achy hurty-ness of my period.
The for the grumpiness and fatigue, meditation is the way I help myself. Every morning of my period plus the three days before and after, and also every night of those days I sit down facing my windows, and just clear my mind for 10-15 minutes. That calms me, and gets rid of most of the crankiness. It's really amazing what a few small things can do for your period, really. The meditation may help you get motivated for the exersize portion, too.
I'd love to hear if it works for you.

Pugs -- After my thyroid got under control, my PMS spiraled out of control. It had gotten to the point where I was spending 2 days every month crying uncontrollably, depressed beyond words, and like 2 weeks being a total bitch. I went to the doctor, and she did recommend hormonal birth control to even everything out. I went on the Nuva ring this month, and it literally just all went away. I haven't had ANY of the symptoms I'd been having. I know you don't have health insurance, but you do have options. If you're in school, you should be able to access your university's health center, where they probably have like low- or no-cost options for students. You can also go to Planned Parenthood -- they charge on a sliding scale based on your income (take a pay stub if you're currently employed), and I think can also help you out with perscriptions (they're usually really good about giving you lots of free "samples"). Hormonal birth control isn't neccesarily a panacea for everyone, but it's fixed my horrible PMS. Good luck!

Ugh, I am going crazy!!! I am now on day 9 of my period! And instead of easing up today it was super crazy heavy! Basically I would put in a super plus (ie. highest absorbancy) tampon only to be full on leaking a mere two hours later!
My only reasoning is that it could possibly be because I skipped my last period on purpose by starting a new pack right away. I'm on Alesse, although I don't know how much of a difference it really makes.
I just know that it's driving me a bit crazy to be at the end of my 9th day and feel like there is no end in sight.
Sep 19 2007, 08:02 PM
I used to have really bad PMS, really bad cramps for 2-3 days, 7 days of heavy bleeding, and a week of either crying and depression or so much anger and irritation. I've been on some form of birth control since I was 16 (i'm 23).
I recently read an article about menstration and the pill. It basically said that the blank pills we take every month aren't necessary and were only invented to appease more religious and traditional groups. The period that happens during the pill is not really a true period. By taking BC at all you are already messing with your cycle and your period.
It went on to state that it is probably more unhealthy to have a continuous hormone and then suddenly stop taking it for a week. The sudden lack of hormones can cause the severe PMS that many women suffer. Furthermore, naturally women would only have something like ~100 periods in her entire life because she might either be pregnant or breastfeeding much of the time instead. The only medical advantage of having the false period is to let
the woman know she isn't preggers (although that is useful
I talked to my gyn about this the last time I went to refill pills. She had also heard about this and agreed that it would be fine to continually take BC, as long as all the pills in the pack are the same dose of hormone (they are usually all the same color except for the blank ones).
According to research almost all of the women are able to regain their periods within 3 months and it seems to have no effect on fertility.
I have been taking pills continuously for about 3 months, and I have to say... it is nice not to have the PMS. I did spot a little, but it wasn't very much/long.
Any thoughts guys?
Sep 19 2007, 08:29 PM
I've heard about the fake period too, so yeah, technically I guess it's true. I just feel like I'm going a bit crazy I mean, I can't even get through the night without getting blood everywhere and that's with a tampon AND panty liner! I haven't been this heavy in a loooong time and before it would just be like, half a day but this is going on a full 24 hours of crazy heavy bleeding.

I live apparently 10 blocks from where lunapads is located. I keep meaning to walk down and check them out ........ I wonder if they actually have a storefront or if its in a house, but they have the address on the website.........
I am hesitant to online order.
Sep 20 2007, 06:17 AM
Sep 20 2007, 09:22 AM
pugs, I would try lunapads but I just hate pads. I've been looking into maybe getting a Diva Cup though. I just wish I knew how much tampons absorb. The Diva Cup website said that they hold one ounce. But if I can completely soak through 3 super plus tampons in a matter of 6 hours then how much am I actually bleeding?
Sep 20 2007, 09:38 AM
Sep 20 2007, 10:01 AM
Thanks pugs. I had actually read your accounts with the Diva Cup in the Diva Cup vs. The Keeper thread. I hope it will work for me.
I haven't been to a doctor about this because I don't have a doctor here. I had the really heavy bleeding back in April and ended up switching pills but later I talked to a friend who is a pharmacist and she said that I've switched too much and too often and that I should just stick to one type of pill. So I'm sticking with the Alesse and I'll see how it goes from here.
Oct 12 2007, 05:12 PM
I'm sorry rudderless. My only aging symptom has been irregularity and heaviness...not stopping in the middle.
But..hehe...I had to post this, my cousin sent it to me.
This was posted on a blog by Wendi Aarons, Austin, TX, regarding Proctor & Gambles feminine products. She really gets rolling after the first > paragraph...
Dear Mr. Thatcher,
I have been a loyal user of your Always Maxi Pads for over 20 years and I appreciate many of their features. Why, without the Leak GuardCore or
Dri-Weave absorbency, I'd probably never go horseback riding or salsa dancing, and I'd certainly steer clear of running up and down the beach in tight, white shorts. But my favorite feature has to be your revolutionary Flexi-Wings. Kudos on being the only company smart enough to realize how crucial it is that maxi pads be aerodynamic. I can't tell you how safe and secure I feel each month knowing there's a little F-16 in my pants.
Have you ever had a period, Mr. Thatcher? Ever suffered from "the curse"? I'm guessing you haven't.
Well, my "time of the month" is starting right now. As I type, I can already feel hormonal forces violently surging through my body. Just a few minutes from now, my body will adjust and I'll be transformed into what my husband likes to call "an inbred hillbilly with knife skills."
As Brand Manager in the Feminine-hygiene Division, you've no doubt seen quite a bit of research on what exactly happens during your customers' monthly visits from "Aunt Flo". Therefore, you must know about the bloating, puffiness, and cramping we endure, and about our intense mood swings, crying, and out-of-control behavior. You surely realize it's a tough time for most women.
The point is, sir, you of all people must realize that America is just crawling with homicidal maniacs in Capri pants... which brings me to the reason for my letter.
Last month, while in the throes of cramping so painful I wanted to reach inside my body and yank out my uterus, I opened an Always maxi-pad, and there, printed on the adhesive backing, were these words: "Have a Happy Period."
Are you f__king kidding me? Does any part of your tiny middle-manager brain really think happiness - actual smiling, laughing happiness is possible during a period? Did anything mentioned above sound the least bit pleasurable?
Well, did it, James? FYI, unless you're some kind of sick S&M freak girl, there will never be anything "happy" about a day in which you have to jack yourself up on Motrin and Kahlua and lock yourself in your house just so you don't march down to the local Kmart armed with a hunting rifle and a sketchy plan to end your life in a blaze of glory.
For the love of God, if you just have to slap a moronic message on a maxi pad, wouldn't it make more sense to say something that's actually pertinent, like "Put Down the Hammer" or "Vehicular Manslaughter Is Wrong", or are you just picking on us?
Sir, please inform your Accounting Department that, effective immediately, there will be an $8 drop in monthly profits, for I have chosen to take my maxi-pad business elsewhere. And though I will certainly miss your Flex-Wings, I will not for one minute miss your brand of condescending bull s__t. And that's a promise I will keep.

i feel your pain rudderless, im going through the same thing these past couple of months, its driving me insane, and i usually have a VERY regular period and im not on birth control, or have i ever been. but the last couple months have been just like that, lasting extra long and just when i think its gone, its back to ruin some clothes.
the only thing i can think of for me is i was under a little bit of stress the past few months, i had a vaginal cyst that lasted way too long and stressed me out because i went to the emergency room, then had to go to the doctor twice afterwards, then i stressed out i was pregnant because i was bleeding a tiny bit from the hole they opened up. long story really...
but i read somewhere that during certain months the cycle lengthens, but that doesnt explain bleeding for long periods of time. also certain foods can change your flow and cycle days, so if you changed your diet in any way, that might be why.
Oct 13 2007, 04:54 PM
Treehugger, that was awesome, but I gotta say:
"unless you're some kind of sick S&M freak girl..."
As a sick S&M freak girl myself, there is absolutely nothing fun, erotic, or remotely pleasurable about periods, period cramps, sore boobs, or mittleschmirtz . It's all about context, I guess...
Oct 14 2007, 07:18 AM
Wow, weird. I totally missed that line.
Yes..phobia. I guess it could be taken offensively. I don't think I would have posted this had I seen that line.
It was never my intention to post something like that.
I just thought it was sort of a cute rant against condescending corporations.
Sorry 'bout that. If you want me to, I can delete it.
Oct 14 2007, 02:05 PM
Aw, I'm sorry. I didn't mean for that to be rude, I just wanted to clarify. I didn't find it offensive, just a little misguided. No worries
Oct 14 2007, 04:14 PM
mmmkay. No worries. I just felt bad for not noticing that. I do appreciate your calling my attention to it and I'll make sure I read more carefully before I blindly pass things on, in the future.
Thanx for opening my eyes and letting me know.
Oct 14 2007, 04:27 PM
Ugggh, it's that time again!
Cramps haven't been too bad so far. I think that I am finally going to drag myself out tomorrow and look into buying a Diva Cup! I'm kind of excited about it, and I'm especially excited that there are two stores near me that sell them!
Anyway, I'm feeling bored, down and just blah in general. I don't know if it's all the period or also some of my actual depression but I don't like how I feel right now.
phobia, as you know, I too am a "sick s&m freak girl" and I can see how it was misguided. After all, I enjoy the pain of a flogging, not the pain of cramps!
Nov 6 2007, 11:53 AM
Oooo, what's a Diva Cup? Do tell. I like to be up on the latest period technology. My last discovery was preztels dipped in chocolate.
Nov 7 2007, 08:20 PM
A diva cup is just like this little silicone cup that you insert instead of tampons. It collects the blood and then you just rinse it out a couple of times a day.
this is the website

I know my period is on its way because I'm covered in bruises (mostly of unknown origin) and I clocked myself in the head with the blowdryer this morning.
Does anyone else get incredibly clumsy before they bleed? I usually have to hurt myself several times before it dawns on me.
Nov 8 2007, 08:06 PM
I don't get clumsy, I just get a voracious appetite and want to sleep all the time.
Nov 12 2007, 09:50 AM
i totally get clumsy! i just always thought it was because i get more easily annoyed and frustrated when i'm in a hurry or when things don't work right.
Nov 12 2007, 11:40 AM
My period is very irregular. Recently it skipped a month. It's usually 2 days later than it was the month before,
so if I get it the 1 one month, the next month I will get it the 3d (If I'm "lucky"), the next I'll get it the 5th or 6th and so on.
Well, that specific pattern isn't really irregular I guess, I just have to think about it a lot more than if it was a month between,
because it's more like 33 days. I never really know when it's coming, although I've become better at guessing.
But the skipping part, that really annoys me. Annoys me even more when I actually have sex - I get so worried
that I'm pregnant. And even more worried that I won't be able to get pregnant if I eventually want to.

coela - i recommend that you track your cycle online. www.mymonthlycycles.com is a great one and the site i use. the more information you give it the more accurate it is when it predicts your next period. you can also set it up to email you a few days before your period comes. my sister has very irregular periods and using this has made her life easier.
my period was three days late this month. the first two days were very, very light. then it came with the fury. very heavy, large clots. however, my cramps weren't bad at all the entire time (thank god). all together it was seven days from start to finish. WTF? not like my body to be irregular. well, whatever. we'll see what happens next month.
Nov 20 2007, 12:37 AM
Okay, so I just lost my job, no insurance, stopped my birth control. And now, on top of getting a ferocious case of BV... my period has decided to come twice in November. I am really at wits end yall! Any ideas as to what will make it stop? I can't afford the doctor right now. Between the BV, yeast infections and the bleeding, I haven't been touched in over a month. I'm losing my mind here!! My poor husband is so patient. Please help. Any suggestions? We are suffering over here lol. HELPPPPP!
Nov 20 2007, 07:50 AM
coela - you'll be able to get pregnant, as long as you continue to get your period, irregular though it might be.
kon - have you checked the BV thread? have over the counter remedies for the yeast infections helped? as for the period....once you stop the birth control, it throws everything off - like, you get your period RIGHT after stopping the Pill, then you might get a "regular" one. i'm sure it will calm down as your body adjusts to not having the Pill in its system.

im 38, some ovarian cysts were found last year after ot getting a period in about eight months. my gynochiatrist put me on provera and my period straightened out and the cysts were found to be sigificantly smaller after a few months.
anyway, so i got my period like normal in sept, then after about five weeks, 2nd week of oct, my period seemed to start and never fucking end. So i've been bleeding for over a month almost every damn day. i went to the gynochiatrist last week and she once again put me on provera and sent me for a vaginal ultrasound.
when i went in for the ultrasound, the tech said somehting like, "how long have you had fibroids?"
now.....she could have just been insensitive or she could just be putting two and two together, maybe? the prescription for the ultrasound said, Menorraghia.
anyone else experienced this? the gyno did also mention last year that im probs peri-menopausal.
Nov 21 2007, 03:29 PM
*ranty mcrantersons*
aaaaargh. ever since i switched to this pill (which has a lower dose of hormone) if i so much as miss one pill by six hours I am subjected to my period starting two days later. and continuing until the end of what should be my break-bleed. it's fucking annoying - so much that i think i might ask to go back on the higher dose even though they make my breasts ache so much it's painful. because frankly, i'd rather have the pain than two/three weeks of not enough bleeding to qualify as a period but enough to not be able to wear nice pants.
/end rant
Nov 24 2007, 03:25 AM
Hey Lola, I think I have the same thing as you. They call mine poly cystic ovarion disease. I found out I had it because I would get my periods so bad I thought I was haing a miscarriage. I was put on Ortho Tricyclen and can never get off. I had a friend who got her fibroids taken out. Try and get as much info as you can. Speaking of insenstive, my doc said to me, "Do you want to have kids?" I said, "No." She said, "Good." Wow. I like someone being direct with me but DAMN.
Nov 26 2007, 07:55 AM
kayla -
ugh, what a response from the dr. yeah, with some of the treatments for fibroids, you can't have kids afterwards, but the dr should explain that more clearly instead of just saying, good!

Nov 27 2007, 07:47 AM
Thanks Kayla,
So after 7 days on the provera my period started back with a vengeance. I had 3 more provera pills but just decided to stop taking it. I'm also rethinking the femcon she prescribed for me. I don't have THAT much sex where I want to take hormones every day....or do I? I'll check out some other threads, but what are everyone's feelings on taking the pill every day? It freaks me out a little. However, I am getting older...38, maybe some hormones could help with this shit? Sometimes I hate owning a fucking vagina.

Yeah babe, i practically LIVE on the BV thread. Cant seem to get rid of this crap. SO the bleeding finally stopped. But now the infection's back. I feel like I'm going to lose my mind LOL Real talk. Anyway, thanks for the help!

Okay so I spoke too damn soon. I am bleeding again, but cannot go to the doctor. Its going on 4 weeks now, off and on. Something is definitely not right. And its very annoying. No sex, no PEACE at all. WTF???? Im a basket case here!

The past few months I've noticed that my period is distinctly shorter than when I was a teenager (I'm 23). I was always a 6-7 dayer, now it's 4-5!
Yes!!! *does fist-pumping action*
Dec 10 2007, 01:12 PM
I'm 23 too and mine still seems to fluctuate. I'm going to knock on wood and say that it's not as heavy as it once was but the number of days that it lasts still fluctuates. I used to usually go for 8 days now sometimes I'm really lucky and it only goes for 4 or 5 but other times it goes for 7.
This might sound weird but I feel like since I started using a Diva Cup it seems lighter. Anyway, the one thing that I like is that since I'm on birth control it's pretty regular and there are almost no surprises.
Dec 18 2007, 02:19 AM
My period is about ten days late again (and counting)
That doesn't prevent me from having craaazy PMS though.
And thinking about sex like 10 times per day..
Same thing happened the last time I didn't get my period
for two months. I get all the other stuff - PMS, pimples,
horniness, heavy breasts - but no blood.
Dec 18 2007, 07:10 AM
coela - welcome to my world. this happened to me all the time (i used to get my period every 3 months). if you find out what could be causing it, let us know! i had asked my dr about my hormone levels and everything was fine....
Dec 29 2007, 05:25 PM
Never thought I'd say this, but wooohoo, I got my period!
Only about 3 weeks late. Seems like it has settled for 6 times per year. :-P
I'm trying to lose some weight and exercise more, and see if that helps.

Edie, I used to have HORRIBLE periods. I'd start cramping the week before & the hormones that flushed my body made me so sick. BUT! As I have grown older, it ain't no thing but a chicken wing! It started to change at twenty-six, now at thirty-three I'm fine. I used to dread the week & a half of agony, now it's like, "Oh, hey, I have my period."
Jan 6 2008, 07:43 PM
Does anyone else get completely whacked out by their period? I just started today and I feel like I have been hit by a bus. I went out and bought some of the "lady formula" (aka extra iron) vitamins but I don't really know what else to do.
Jan 6 2008, 08:25 PM
Changing your birth control might help. However, it's not a walk in the park finding the right one. CCG, which one are you on?
My mother's an OBGYN and would often try different ones on me as sort of an experiment. My main complaint was that they made me eat like a crazy pregnant woman.(I know my mother sounds weird...and she is.)
When I was on the patch I would only eat mandarin oranges from the can. And french bread.
Anyway, I'll hit my mom up for some advice when she gets back from Hawaii.
Jan 6 2008, 11:43 PM
I'm actually going to have to change it. The last time I went to get my birth control the pharmacist said that the manufacturer had discontinued it so I'll have to ask my doctor to change it.
Jan 7 2008, 10:14 AM
Does anyone know how much a normal amount is to bleed during a period? According to my Diva cup I managed to bleed 7.5 ml in only two and a half hours! I feel shaky and sweaty. This does not feel right.

Ray Lewis is not interested in coaching Ravens yetFebruary 7, 2013 – 8:12 pm by Ryan Phillips
What's that? You've heard enough about Baltimore Ravens linebacker Ray Lewis over the past month or so? Too bad, because here's even more news about the 13-time Pro Bowler.
Ravens head coach John Harbaugh claimed on Thursday that the now-retired Lewis has not expressed any interest in getting into coaching. At least not yet. After a remarkable 17-year career, Lewis retired following Baltimore's 34-31 Super Bowl win over the San Francisco 49ers on Sunday.
Harbaugh had claimed he believed Lewis would do "many amazing and powerful things" in his retirement, but that coaching was not going to be one of them yet.
While I'm definitely suffering from an acute case of "Ray Lewis Fatigue" I do believe he'd make a fantastic coach at some point. From a technical standpoint, have been few linebackers better during their careers. On top of that we have repeatedly heard about what a great leader he is. That combination would make a great coach.
I think it's obvious that Baltimore would welcome Lewis back in any capacity, though I don't believe they would let him dance his way on to the field, or wear four pounds of eye black as a coach. Though, honestly, you never know.
Ravens owner Steve Bisciotti has already come out and claimed the franchise is ready to honor Lewis with a statue outside M&T Bank Stadium. Bisciotti said, "I think he set himself apart in Baltimore sports history." He then claimed he expected something to be done within the next year or two to immortalize him.

2009 World Cup Fields taking shape…
By now everyone has heard the news about the Olympic vote going against baseball. Not much more to say about it. The Olympics never wanted baseball anyway. Sad but true…Bottom line is that this game will grow and develop just as strong without those guys.
There loss. Lets turn the page…
So now lets get ready for the World Cup as well as other future International Basebal events on the agenda of MLB and IBAF. Things are coming along in Zagreb, Croatia for the Round 1 games. Building the field from Scratch! Some of the local ground crew in Zagreb getting the job done. Keep them rolling aldo.
The Sod that came in for the field was really nice. How about the loading device..a different type of forklift.
Same thing in Stockholm…progress is steady on the dry days which are few and in between.. the monsoon rains are hampering some of the renovations. Hopefully mother nature will let up an give us a break!

LSU defensive coordinator John Chavis spent the first half of the season trying to emphasize players doing their job. Finally, he played the emotion card, and it sure looks like it worked.
The unit that couldn't seem to tackle, rush the passer or stop an offense whether it was no huddle or multi-huddle, held Florida to 240 yards of offense to steal the spotlight in a 17-6 victory for LSU Saturday.
Chavis got emotional with his players last week, before the game, and after he watched their turnaround performance.
"I care about what I do," Chavis said choking up in a post-game interview. "I care about these kids. I damn sure want to be there for them. If it takes being emotional, that's what I'm going to do. That's who I am."
The Tigers looked like a different unit and Florida's straight ahead, huddle up style may have had something to do with that. But there was also improvement in all areas. The defensive line held its own on the line of scrimmage, the missed tackles were less obvious and the Tigers help Florida without a touchdown for the first time since a 20-3 loss to LSU in 1979.
That performance suddenly makes LSU look like a complete team, one that can legitimately be a threat to Alabama and player in the BCS hunt.
Chavis and LSU coach Les Miles have been preaching that the defensive issues were not about talent but about keeping their assignments and not trying to do more than what each player was responsible for. Easy to say and harder to do, the words finally sank in.
"Once you get a man like Chief emotional, it means something," said cornerback Jalen Mills, who had his first career sack among his five tackles. "He really does not talk a lot. He came out of character and really hyped us up. It gave us more energy and it showed in this game."
It showed up in LSU's pass rush, which produced four sacks, four other tackles for loss and five quarterback hurries. LSU had six passes broken up, including two volleyball-type spikes by 6-feet-6 end Danielle Hunter to stop a pair of screen passes.
Running back Jeremy Hill watched with admiration as the Tigers outplayed the Gator defense, ranked No. 1 in the SEC coming into the game.
"Our defense kind of felt disrespected," Hill said. "They let their emotions play out of the field today. They played aggressive, physical and fast. They proved they haven't changed and they can play the way we have over the years."
It might have been a perfect effort had Lamin Barrow and Tre'Davious White not dropped potential interceptions. But the Tigers will take their improvement in small doses. This game was clearly the biggest leap of the season on the heels of allowing only a field goal to Mississippi State in the second half of last week's victory.
"I don't think there's any question (it was our biggest jump)," Chavis said of the marked improvement. "That jump may have started a little bit in the second half last week.
"We knew we'd be young (this season) and we would have some growing pains, never did I expect them to be as big as they were. The good thing is our kids never gave in. They kept fighting and preparing. When they have success they gain confidence and they grow."
Players described it as playing for each other. Anthony Johnson said it was like "all 11 of us were connected on a string." The linemen stayed in their gaps, the linebackers contained the outside and the secondary played tight coverages, which forced quarterback Tyler Murphy to scramble or throw short passes.
"We're getting connected as one," defensive end Jermauria Rasco said. "We're all on the same level. We weren't on the same level before, there was too much individualism. We're more of a group."
The defense allowed the passing game to take the day off. Quarterback Zach Mettenberger had an off day, hitting nine of 17 with two passes dropped and a fumble when he attempted to throw a wide receiver screen and the ball slipped out of his hand. Florida recovered to stop a promising LSU drive at the Gators' 25.
Mettenberger said the opportunities were there and the stats could have looked better had they needed to throw the ball. But with the way Jeremy Hill was running and the defense was playing, LSU was always in full control.
"We had our guys open," Mettenberger said. "If it wasn't for a couple of pass interference penalties it would have looked better for the media.
"We had our shots. I missed a couple that I haven't missed all year and a couple of drops from a guy who never drops the ball. We'll be ready next week to play better."
The bottom line was that LSU showed it could win a tight, physical fistfight type of game because it can still play good defense. It's the kind the Tiger are likely to have when they play Alabama, which comes after a trip to Oxford Saturday to play Ole Miss, non conference Furman and then an open week.
"It made a big statement for those kids," Chavis said. "They did not give in. They played 60 minutes of football. If it takes 60 minutes to get it done, they know can do that. They ought to be even more confident."

In traditional corporate law, plaintiffs must rely on the common law doctrine of piercing the corporate veil to hold shareholders responsible for a corporation's liabilities. Courts generally respect the decisions of corporate planners and rarely pierce the veil. But some corporate law scholars have grown frustrated with the traditional doctrine of veil piercing, calling it inadequate in an era where multinational corporations use subsidiaries to shift liabilities to destitute tort victims in Third World countries. As an alternative, scholars have pushed for courts to adopt the doctrine of enterprise liability. Under enterprise liability, plaintiffs can hold a corporate parent responsible for the actions of a sibling or subsidiary corporation that is part of the same overall economic unit without having to meet the rigorous standards of traditional veil piercing.

Joseph J. Bishop, 27, of Piney Hollow Road in Williamstown, is wanted by the Gloucester County Prosecutor's Office for failure to appear in court Dec. 17, 2004 to be sentenced for cocaine possession.
On May 13, 2003, a West Deptford Township police officer pulling into the lot of a Route 130 motel saw suspicious activity by four people around a parked car. One of the people walked toward the officer, identifying himself as Bishop. The officer said Bishop was perspiring and his hands were shaking.
A search of the rear of the car where Bishop had been seen placing his hands inside, produced an envelope containing eight sealed plastic bags with suspected crack cocaine inside. Bishop's name was on the envelope.
A further search of the vehicle turned up a pill container, also with Bishop's name on it, that contained eight additional plastic bags with crack cocaine in them.
Bishop was arrested and, on May 18, 2004, pleaded guilty to a third-degree charge of possession of a controlled dangerous substance.
Bishop is 5-feet, 7-inches tall, weighs 155 pounds and has brown hair and brown eyes.
Anyone with information about Bishop's whereabouts should not attempt to apprehend him. Contact the Gloucester County Prosecutor's Office at (856) 384-5644, -6544, -5646 or -5616.

If we subtract two fractions with different denominators, ad - bc will be the form for the numerator, which is to say we "cross multiply" the numerator from each fraction with the denominator from the other fraction, then subtract the second one from the first.
If we have the points (0, 0), (a, b) and (c, d) on the plane as in the picture, we can create a parallelogram by including a fourth point at (a+c, b+d), and by finding the area of the big rectangle and subtracting away the areas of the rectangles and triangles that are not marked in yellow, we get the area of the parallelogram is just like the numerator of our fraction, ad - bc.
The formula is also known as the determinant of a 2x2 matrix where the entries look like
a b
c d
a c
b d
The determinant is an ancient idea, while the matrix is relatively modern, the first important work done in the mid 19th Century. The word matrix was chosen for its Latin root to "mother", with the implication that matrices were the mothers of determinants. The Wachoski brothers knew about this word derivation when they made The Matrix, which is both an array of numbers in a computer, but also that people inside The Matrix are actually in physical locations that look like the womb.
Any square matrix, 2x2 or 3x3 or 4x4, etc., has a determinant, but the calculation of the number gets messier as the matrix gets bigger. For instance, a 3x3 matrix of the form
a b c
d e f
g h i
has the determinant
aei + bfg + cdh - afh - bdi - ceg.
There are six terms here, because 6 = 3x2x1, or 3!, pronounced 3 factorial. A 4x4 matrix determinant has 4! = 24 terms, the 5x5 has 120 terms, and the numbers just get bigger and bigger. 10! for example is over three million. But because determinants are so useful, mathematicians found labor saving ways to calculate them, and some of the best were found by Charles Dodgson, known to the world as Lewis Carroll. The story goes that Queen Victoria was so taken with Alice's Adventures in Wonderland that she wrote to the author asking him to send her a copy of the next book he wrote. Carroll, loyal subject and nerdiest of nerds, dutifully sent the queen his next book, his treatise on determinants. The urban legend debunking website snopes.com considers this story to be false, given how carefully Dodgson tried to keep his pseudonym a secret. But it is true that the determinants book was the book he published only a year after Alice went into print.

Detroit Cass Tech faced a tough Detroit Public School League West Division test against undefeated Detroit Mumford in front of a huge home crowd on Friday, and passed with flying colors to seize the league title.
Cass Tech beat Mumford, 41-6, on the strength of 216 yards of offense from running back Mike Weber, and excellent defensive play.
Mumford (6-1, 5-1 PSL West) looked as if it would keep the game close late in the second quarter, after putting together a touchdown drive to cut Cass Tech's lead to 14-6, and then recovering an onside kick.
But Mumford couldn't keep up with the Associated Press's top-ranked team in Division 1, as Cass Tech (7-0, 6-0) quickly stopped Mumford in its tracks, and then scored a touchdown to go ahead, 21-6, before halftime. Damon Webb (Ohio State) intercepted a pass right before halftime to stop another Mumford drive.
"Really, I knew it's time to step up," Weber said. "All those other games we had, we took it for granted. But now, it's win or go home."
Weber rushed for 91 yards on eight carries in the first half, and finished with 169 yards rushing on 19 carries along with a 47-yard reception to help set up his second touchdown of the game late in the second quarter.
His first was an eight-yard run in the first quarter to make it 7-0. Gary Hosey (Eastern Michigan) ran in two touchdowns as well.
Weber also had several long runs called back because of holding. Both teams racked up a lot of penalties, much to Cass Tech coach Thomas Wilcher's displeasure.
"There's no way we should have officiating that bad in the PSL," Wilcher said. "Every time we ran the ball, (we got penalized for holding).
"It's a shame that the PSL have a crew that referees that bad, that causes injuries to other kids; they don't care about the welfare of these young kids."
Despite the penalties, Cass Tech shut down Mumford, a team that was averaging 44 points per game going into Friday's action.
Hosey, Deon Drake (Michigan State) and Webb helped hold Mumford to six points and 221 yards of offense.
LaVert Hill also came up with an interception for Cass Tech, and Kevin Scott intercepted a pass on the goal-line and returned it 100 yards for a touchdown on the game's final play.
Mumford coach Donshell English has turned Mumford into a playoff team after back-to-back 2-7 seasons. Despite this improvement, English knows there is still work to do for Mumford, especially after Friday's game.
"It was terrible," English said. "We've got to get better.
"We're looking pretty good against mediocre teams, but when you play the number one team in the state, you've got to play better; you've got to play your A game, and we were terrible."
Mumford quarterback Monty Stewart completed 15-of-39 passes for 210 yards and a 20-yard touchdown pass to Deshawn Foster.
Campbell completed 4-of-11 passes for 86 yards, and also had an 11-yard touchdown run in the third quarter to make it 27-6.
Both teams will move on to the PSL semifinals next week.
Cass Tech will take on Detroit East English Village Prep, while Mumford will play against undefeated Detroit Martin Luther King.

As the son of a conservative Muslim imam, 10-year-old Daud has a number of responsibilities and little time for playing or making friends.
So when through a series of misunderstandings Daud finds himself mistaken as an Orthodox Jew and befriended by a group of boys at a Yeshiva school, he finds himself willing to pose as "David" and hide his heritage in order to nourish the budding friendship.
That's the premise behind "David," a 2011 feature film that will be the closing entry in this year's Harrisburg Jewish Film Festival.
Nine films, ranging from documentaries to dramas and comedies, will make up this year's festival, which begins on Sunday.
Written and directed by Joel Fendelman and Patrick Daly, the core idea for "David" came about when Fendelman saw a conservative Muslim carrying a bag and was gripped by a sudden fear that it held a bomb, said Stephanie Levy, the film's executive producer.
"He realized through the media we get snippets of information and start basing our opinions [that]," she said.
Wondering what it would be like for a Jewish child to befriend a Muslim, Fendelman and Daly headed to an Arab neighborhood in Brooklyn, N.Y., and started volunteering with an Arab-American association to learn more about Islam.
"We wanted to make a film about identity," Levy said. "That was the spawn of 'David'."
After working on the screenplay for a year and a half, the film was shot in the summer of 2010 and has won awards at film festivals.
"It's about friendship. That's the greatest theme and message we want to get across," Levy said. "It's about how all of us have so much in common and how sometimes what we have in common separates us."
Levy said that she didn't want to make a political film.
"We wanted to make sure we treated both cultures very fairly. We had an Orthodox Jewish adviser and a conservative Muslim adviser to make sure we got certain things accurate," she said.
Levy will be attending the Harrisburg screening on May 20 along with the actor playing Daud, 13-year-old Muatasem Mishal. They will hold a question-and-answer session after the film.
"There are so many stories of how the film was made and certain choices we made," Levy said. "The film gets you thinking and gets to start a conversation, and that's what we'd like to do."
IF YOU GO: The Harrisburg Jewish Film Festival runs through Sunday at The State Museum of Pennsylvania, 300 North St., Harrisburg, and the Jewish Community Center, 3301 N. Front St., Harrisburg. Cost: $10 for the opening and closing films; $8 for all other films. "David," the closing film, will be shown at 6:30 p.m. May 20 at the State Museum. Tickets are available only at the door.

Weekend Teaching Series: Christmas Weekend (1-off)
Sermon in a Sentence: A student-run service of songs, teaching and Christmas fun.
Service Length: 76 minutes
Understandable Message: This weekend was all about Christmas – it was a 1-off celebration of the birth of Jesus. Students ran the entire service from top to bottom. Bryce got up first to introduce the subject for the weekend and the heart behind Christmas. He emphasied the true meaning of Christmas amid the lights, sounds and presents of the season. After a few songs AJ spoke about Jesus being the humble King and after another song Julia got up to speak about God's holiness. They all had verses and Scripture when Ryan got up to teach he used a clip from The Guardian to bring home the idea of Jesus the Rescuer. We rounded out the program with a few more songs and an invitation at the end.
Element of Fun/Positive Environment: This weekend was a ton of fun with HSM's new Christmas music video and hot chocolate and cookies after every service. Lots of energy and fun for the last high school services of 2011!
Music Playlist: Mary Did You Know, Silent Night, Born is the King, You Hold the World in Your Hands, O Holy Night, Savior of the World, Go/Joy to the World, Drummer Boy
Favorite Moment: See students basically run the entire service is so incredible. I love being taught by and being led in worship by students. My heart was so full after this weekend, that's for sure!
Up next: No HSM services — Christmas services in big church!

Port Rattie left game in 1st after taking hit from Lipon. Apparent back injury. Not back for 2nd.— Gregg Drinnan (@gdrinnan) April 12, 2012
The hit was by JC Lipon, who's been going after Rattie all series. Can't see much, really. No indication to me that it's dirty or anything. Possibly lost in this is that the hit helped create the Kamloops goal that got them back in the game.
Wouldn't expect the team to say much about it, so the worry will go at least up to game time. How fun!
Thanks once again to Chad Balcom for the video.

The indestructible hopped-up hitman Chev Chelios, played to the hilt once again by Jason Statham, returns in Crank High Voltage, picking up where the first film left off -- except this time, Chelios is chasing a Chinese gangster who hijacked his heart and substituted it with a mechanical one that needs to be jolted with an electric charge to stay pumping. Back for the fun is Chev's girlfriend Eve (Amy Smart) and his physician Doc Miles (Dwight Yoakam), who, as luck has it, turns out to be an ex-heart surgeon. As Chelios delves deeper into the mystery surrounding his stolen heart, he discovers that the answers to his questions lie within the chest of a 100-year old head of the Triad gang, Poon Dong (David Carradine.

MONSON - In recognition for its commitment to safety and controlling costs, the town of Monson was awarded a $3,400 loss control grant to purchase emergency egress chairs for handicapped students, and a $1,624 grant for manhole cover lifters.
The town received the grants from the Massachusetts Interlocal Insurance Association, which provides its property and casualty insurance. MIIA is the non-profit insurance arm of the Massachusetts Municipal Association, and insures nearly 400 cities, towns and other public entities in Massachusetts.
The new chairs will enhance school safety and ease the exit process for handicapped students at Granite Valley Middle School and Monson High School in the event of an emergency evacuation due to fire, extreme weather, or other hazardous situation.
"The Monson Public School District is an active member of the local emergency planning committee and recognizes the need to ensure the safety of all students in the event of an emergency within the school buildings, and these funds will help the district in achieving that goal," noted Michelle Loglisci, director of transportation for Monson Public Schools.
The "manhole buddy" cover lifters will help reduce risk of serious injuries that can occur from awkward twisting and lifting or from dropping a manhole cover.

|Thu, 08 May 2008 16:17:11 -0700
I recently built and installed the exact same tower and can attest to it being really, really strong. In spite of its size and weight, I was able to completely assemble it by myself in two sections, a 30' lower section and a 40' upper section ... necessary because my rocky and uneven hillside doesn't have enough flat space to build it all in one length. I had a crane lift the two pieces into place, and Gary, K9RX, very graciously helped me with the installation. There are 15 pages of pictures of my installation beginning at http://www.ab7e.com/AB7E_Tower_Page_1.html in case anyone might be interested. Pictures of a few other installations can be found on the AN Wireless web site. It would really be a shame to see K8ZZO's tower not be put to a good (ham radio) use. Dan at AN Wireless is terrific to work with and can supply most anything you might need, including locally stamped engineering drawings if needed for a building permit. In addition to the 5 foot base, I'd probably recommend one additional thrust bearing plate (sans thrust bearing) to go between the top plate and the rotator plate for mast positioning when the rotator is not in place. 73, Dave AB7E Gene Pentecost wrote: > The unexpected death of Bill Burton, K8ZZO, a noted DXer, has left > his widow with an HD-70 unassembled tower.

The Sprint Cup star known as "Rocket Man" makes the most of every opportunity to drive the fast machines on the NASCAR Whelen Modified Tour. Newman won his third straight Tour race at New Hampshire Motor Speedway, claiming the checkered flag in Saturday's F.W. Webb 100.
Counting a win at Bristol (Tenn.) Motor Speedway last August, Newman has won his last four Tour starts in the No. 7 car owned by Kevin "Bono" Manion, Sprint Cup crew chief for Juan Pablo Montoya.
"It's an awesome race car," Newman said. "The Modified itself, they build the best of the best."
Newman, who won the pole in Thursday's qualifying session, held off strong challenges from Todd Szegedy and Ron Silk. The final pass came on lap 83, as Newman slipped past Silk on the backstretch.
Both Szegedy and Silk had the opportunity to lead laps, but in the end it was Newman who clearly had the strongest car. A long green-flag run from lap 13 to the end prevented the usual exciting racing that makes the Tour arguably the best show of the weekend.
"Second, to me, was kind of a win," said Szegedy, who passed Silk for second on the last lap. "We beat all the regulars."
A pair of Western Massachusetts drivers were in the 34-car field. Wilbraham's Glen Reen finished 24th, filling in for Dave Etheridge in the No. 38 car, while Westfield's Dale Quarterley was 29th in the No. 0.
Points leader Rowan Pennink came in sixth. Newman will start on the pole again Sunday in the Sprint Cup Lenox Industrial Tools 301.
The Tour regulars might get a reprieve from Newman at the next Loudon race Aug. 13, as the Cup series is in Watkins Glen, N.Y., that weekend. It's close enough to be tempting, but Manion said he doesn't expect the team to make the back-and-forth trip to upstate New York.
LOCAL FLAVOR: Springfield native Michael Moore continues to work for Newman's No. 39 Cup team at Stewart-Haas Racing as a mechanic and second gas man. Moore, 47, was the primary gas man on the 39 team in 2009.
GOING GREEN: This weekend marks the New Hampshire debut of Sunoco's Green E-15 hybrid race fuel. The gasoline-ethanol mixture has been used all season in NASCAR's top three series.

"I would like to thank Marco for the great service and product given to me. My quality of life has greatly improved. My hearing aids make family life much more enjoyable. I LOVE MY HEARING AIDS!" - M. Rankin (age 50)
How do I know if I'm losing my hearing?
Do you have trouble with hearing speech clearly in background noise? Do you find you have to keep turning up the volume on the television? Do you often miss part of what your grandchildren are trying to tell you? These are all signs of hearing loss.
Most people who gradually develop a hearing loss are generally unaware of the problem. If they do miss or mis-hear something, they will have to rely on friends or family pointing that out.
Auditory deprivation is a condition in which the brain is left without auditory stimulation. Eventually the brain may have difficulty processing or understanding sound it hasn't heard over an extended period of time. Clarity is diminished, even if hearing devices are worn.
The best way to avoid this is through annual auditory check-ups, just like you do with your family dentist or doctor. Regular assessments can help to identify and prevent one of the most common losses - noise-induced hearing loss. If you experience a hearing loss and don't wear hearing devices, your brain can actually lose its ability to understand. Simply wearing the proper devices in both ears can reduce the auditory deprivation. If a problem is detected early, preventative treatment is typically much more effective than intervention when the hearing loss has been longstanding.

Why choose to pre-plan your funeral?
When it comes to your final arrangements, shouldn't you make the decisions?
Pre-arranging your own funeral service is a wise choice. Not only does pre-arranging ensure your funeral reflects your exact wishes and desires, it also helps ease the burden on your loved ones and alleviates any differences which can occur among family members. Pre-payment will protect you and your loved ones from the rising cost of prices as well.
Funeral directors are specially trained to help families arrange the type of service they desire. The service is usually held at a place of worship or at the funeral home. There is an opportunity to personalize your funeral service, whether it's by playing your favourite music, accepting donations in lieu of flowers, or having close friends say a few words during the service. You may choose to have a public viewing as well. Viewing is a part of many cultural and ethnic traditions. Many grief specialists believe that viewing aids the grief process by helping the bereaved recognize the reality of death.
For more information on funeral pre-planning, contact Curry's Funeral Home Ltd. in Glace Bay at 902-849-7617 or check out www.jmcurryfuneralhome.com.
Cape Breton Hypnosis
18 Maple Street
Sydney, NS B1P 6V8
What is hypnosis/hypnotherapy?
Hypnosis is not a type of psychotherapy. Instead, it's a technique that can be used and that can be taught to you in the context of other therapies.
Hypnosis involves learning how to use your mind and thoughts in order to manage emotional distress (e.g. anxiety, stress), unpleasant physical symptoms (e.g. pain, nausea), or to help you change certain habits or behaviors (e.g. smoking, overeating).
Only properly trained and credentialed health care professionals (e.g. licensed psychologists, social workers, nurses, doctors, certified hypnotists), who have been specifically trained in the use of hypnosis and who are working within the limits of their professional expertise, should conduct clinical hypnosis.
Hypnosis has been demonstrated to have a wide range of benefits, from simply improving symptoms or difficulties to completely eliminating them.
Most people describe hypnosis as a pleasant experience, during which they feel focused and absorbed in the hypnotic experience. Depending on how you and your therapist agree to structure your hypnosis sessions, they may help you to feel more alert, more relaxed, more comfortable or more peaceful.
Some areas hypnosis can offer assistance in include: smoking, pain, dental and medical procedures, post-surgical recovery, nausea and vomiting, anxiety and phobias, depression, stress, post-traumatic stress symptoms, weight management, habit disorders, asthma, gastrointestinal disorders, skin conditions, childbirth, etc.

The link works. I can hardly believe the change you had gone through! Was it "photoshopped" ??
The amount of visceral fat you have lost is quite outstanding. You have literally deflated!
Okay... Feeling a little bit self-conscious about doing this as I am usually more of a lurker than a poster, but given that I hit my one-year Primalversary earlier this week it seems like a good time to share some pictures. Here goes - I hope the link works!
As of this morning I'm 65.6kgs (144lbs), so 14.5kgs (32lbs) lighter than I was last summer. I also dug out my old body analysis printouts from our gym - they don't go a full 12 months back as I honestly didn't want to know what my BF% was to start with - and since October 2012 I have lost over 6% bodyfat. I'm at 22.4% at the moment, and would like to get down to about 18%. In terms of other stats - I'm 32 and 5'6''.
Aside from the numbers, I can honestly say I've never felt healthier, stronger or happier with my body. I sleep really well and although work stress still gets to me from time to time I feel more able to deal with it - I guess it's that happy Primal calm that other posters have mentioned :-)

Thanks dkJames nope not photoshopped at all
I am so glad I took pictures at the start - I hated seeing them at the time (and I don't love looking at them now - can't believe I let myself get like that) but it's been great to be able to compare, especially as my weight really hasn't changed that much since January and if I had been relying on the scale I would have been very frustrated!
Woww thats amazing how much you've lost, congratulation.
Why I don't seam to loose any waight and any belly fat?
I whish and hope that somebody can be of sopport for me.
Thanks Stacey!
I added in deadlifts later on and they're definitely made a difference too (I was deadlifting before those photos).
Current weight lost: 82.9lb (37.6kg)
Current PRs:
Bench: 45kg/99lb
Squat: 100kg/220lb
Deadlift: 120kg/265lb

My journal
That's a big difference, Katie, but I can't help my nerdy self -- I want to do some postural work on you! LOL
What a fantastic result.
I've just spent the last several days, pouring over this thread, reading the success stories, and checking out the before & after pics, and I have to say that I've seen some amazing results!
I'm currently nursing an old military injury to the knee, and a torn rotator cuff, so my workouts have not been what they were.
While I'm maintaining my weight with PB (thanks Mark), the gains in strength, size and definition I saw with crossfit are starting to wain
You are all an encouragement to me.
Thanks and again, Congrats to all!

I am a mom of 3 girls. So we have lots of pink, lots of drama, lots of princesses, lots of tangled hair. So I do consider myself something of an expert in raising girls. In raising toddler and preschool girls to be exact. Some of the suggestions and ideas I have will work on or appeal to boys too, but I have just used them on girls. I hope you will join me every day this week as I share some advice for raising girls and some ideas to keep them busy!
Be sure to visit Day 1, A-E and Day 2 F-J if you missed them.
Check out K-O by clicking read more.
K…Kindness. Children learn what they live. When you are kind to your child or show them grace in the midst of a mistake, they learn to be kind and graceful to others. Sounds simple enough, right? I still find being kind to be a challenge for me as my girls are starting to talk back and have an attitude. It's very easy for me to have an attitude back with them or assert my authority by raising my voice or putting them in time out. What I work on each day though (sometimes unsuccessfully, it's okay) is to try and show them kindness and grace in situations where it may not be deserved.
L…Letting Kids Work it Out. With three girls, there is a lot of drama around here. I don't know if boys are as dramatic, but there are lots of arguments and battles that take place in our house. I found myself getting dragged into the drama and creating more by yelling and giving a negative situation a lot of energy. I noticed a big change in the girls' behavior when I started letting them work it out on their own.
M…Make Your Own Sundae. If you have a summer bucket list, this needs to go on it. We spend a lot of time outdoors when the weather is nice and what better way to enjoy the warm weather than by cooling off with some ice cream. My girls loved personalizing their own sundaes. It's like going to a frozen yogurt place for a fraction of the price.
N…Numbers. I have never been a numbers girl. Math and numbers were never my strong suit. I've talked to lots of women who felt this way growing up. I think it's a danger with girls to push them to more creative and artistic pursuits and not towards math. I want my girls to be comfortable with numbers and feel positive about their interactions with mathematics. To that end, we do lots of fun activities with numbers like this simple counting game with buttons and muffin cups. I hope such games will help instill in them a love of numbers and problem solving.
O…Outdoor play. I am a big proponent of outdoor play for girls. One of the things my girls enjoyed most this past summer were water balloons. They loved throwing them at each other and the ground. They are a bit time consuming to make but I found a way to make the wet fun last a little longer. I made some water balloons and then hid them around the yard for a water balloon hunt. Check out how I added some learning into our water balloon hunt.
Be sure to join us tomorrow for Letters P-T of raising girls.

The new change was set to go into effect on Tuesday.
ITD said it's delaying the speed limit increase so it can review input expressed since the announcement earlier this week of a change to 80 mph.
The board will review the input at a meeting in Coeur d'Alene July 11.
"This will allow a thoughtful and inclusive review, ensuring safety," said Jim Carpenter, ITD chief operations officer.
The speed increased was approved by the Idaho legislature earlier this year.
AAA of Idaho released a statement soon after.
"AAA Idaho applauds the actions of the Idaho Transportation Department to extend a review process before implementing 80-mph speed limits on the rural interstates in southern Idaho. In the interest of public safety, proceeding with caution is the right course of action.
"AAA Idaho recognizes the legislature's authority to enact laws it deems to be in the best interest of Idahoans. Delaying the process to encourage an orderly, well-reasoned transition to the higher 80-mph speed limits is in the best interest of the state and its citizens. In addition, this action may lessen the risks associated with raising the speed limits on hundreds of miles of interstate highways days before the busy July 4 holiday."

text: Opinions for failure of the older heritage Valley Oaks vary; too dry of a year, too wet of a year, or the abundance of acorns that year. All of these reasons are valid, but the reality is older heritage Valley Oaks fail unexpectedly and property damage is a distinct possibility in the warmer months of the year. The prudent thing for private property owners to do is have their Valley Oak tree inspected.
