Find Fish - At a Broward County Park
Fishing is the second-most-popular sport in the U.S., and there are many parks in the Broward County system that have great fishing areas. (Applicable licenses are required.)
The following information about fishing in Broward County Parks comes from John Cimbaro, a biologist with the Florida Fish and Wildlife Conservation Commission.
The Plantation Heritage Fish Management Area (in Plantation Heritage Park) has fair to good bream (bluegill and red ear sunfish) fishing, good bass fishing, and good catfishing.
There are three fish feeders on site, and near those feeders are the best locations to fish for the bream and catfish. Channel catfish are stocked annually (4,000 fish/year), and catfish up to 12.5 pounds have also been caught at Plantation Heritage. The area is also very scenic. Fishing is allowed from the shore only, not from any of the rental boats. Because it is a Fish Management Area, there are other restrictions as well, such as only one pole per person (even if you are using cane poles), and you must have a valid freshwater fishing license if you are older than 16 or under age 65.
T.Y. Park is not good for bream fishing but very good for bass fishing. The best fishing is from boats (boats are available for rent). C.B. Smith Park has fair bass, with exotic spotted tilapia and a growing population of peacock bass present. There are no longer boat rentals at the marina, but there are lots of areas for shoreline fishing. Quiet Waters Park has good bass fishing and good shoreline access, and is a fairly scenic location to fish. Boats and food concessions are available at the Lakeview Marina. You may bring your own electric trolling motor for use on the rowboats. Fishing is permitted along any shore except at the Splash Adventure swimming beach and the Ski Rixen USA lake.
For all-around fishing, a good setup is a #8 Aberdeen hook fished about three feet under a one-inch bobber. A small split shot near the hook will keep your bait down where the fish can spot it. Recommended baits include live worms, crickets, cut-up hot dogs, and dough balls. All these baits, especially the live worms, will catch most kinds of fish but are especially good for bream. Good lures for bream include tiny jigs, beetle spins, or spinners. For bass, use larger hooks (1/0 or larger). The best bass bait is live shiner. Good lures for bass include plastic worms (black works well most of the time), minnow imitating lures, and spinner baits. Good baits for catfish include chicken or beef liver and live worms (catfish rarely strike lures). Use 1/0 or larger hooks for catfish and fish on the bottom rather than using a bobber.
Here are some other Broward County parks that have fishing areas:
Fishing at Broward County Parks can be excellent even if you don't own a boat. Quiet Waters and T.Y. (Topeekeegee Yugnee) parks both rent boats that you can fish from for a minimal fee on weekends and holidays.
If you have your own boat, ramps are available at the following parks: Markham Park & Target Range, Tradewinds Park & Stables, and West Lake Park. Check out the comprehensive list of boat ramps in South Florida.
18th Annual Junior Bass Tournament Trail
This program is specifically designed for ages 12 to 17. Registration is limited to a maximum of 20 to 23 kids. All participants must be accompanied by an adult 18 years of age or older. The adult will not be permitted to fish. All participants must fish from a boat. Tournament rules are similar to those used in professional bass tournaments. Trophies are awarded at each monthly tournament for first through third places and Big Bass catch. Tournament point totals are compiled over the four months of competition. The angler with the most points at the end of the competition will be named Junior Angler of the Year and will be awarded a special prize package. Cost of the program is $85 (plus applicable sales tax) for each participant and covers all four tournaments. There is no fee for the adult in the boat.
You can view a video of one of our tournaments here.
For more details about registration, tournament rules, and general information, contact Bob Newland at 954-214-8771. The registration deadline is February 14. The 2016 dates are as follows:
The tournaments are held once a month on Sunday mornings from "first light" until 1 p.m.
We'll track each of the four tournaments with a rundown, such as these recaps from 2015:

Works like I hoped it would!
By Kiniki
from Albuquerque, NM
I had a hip replacement in April & must sleep with a pillow between my knees to keep in proper alignment as I'm a side-sleeper. When I saw this pillow I was drawn to it's more narrow width, but almost the length of a regular pillow & it's out of memory foam. I ordered it & received it in time to take on vacation. It has a wonderful carrying case & a removable zippered cover for cleaning. It works very well & I'm glad I didn't order the other options I had found before this one. This one seems to have all the right elements.
Bottom Line Yes, I would recommend this to a friend

Hip And Knee Oversized Comfort Pillow
By casewis
from Sharon, CT
This pillow is so comfortable because of its size and shape. My knees don't touch one another and my hips are aligned correctly. Love it so glad I spent the money on it.
I am pleased with this product.
By Wendy
from CT
Since 2010, I have an artificial hip and knee, on the same side. Until I started using this pillow I would wake up several times at night due to discomfort. Since I started using this pillow I sleep better and feel more refreshed in the morning. The pillow cover is attractive as well. I definitely recommend it. Been using it two weeks and hoping it will last a long time.
Good product
By Joan3052
from Saint George, UT
First thought the large size was a handicap then I ran it from my ankles to my knees and found that it helped my arthritic ankles.

One size doesn't fit all
By Mae
from Charleston, WV
This pillow design is a great idea and had it come in different sizes, I think it would have relieved stress for back, knees and hips as claimed. I am 5'2" and the pillow was to large for my size. Also, the part of the pillow where your knees rest, was too thick and actually hurt my hips and back. I returned it because the alignment created with the pillow was not a comfortable position. It may have worked, despite the size if there was some flexibility in the memory foam, but it was very firm and non-conforming. Not a good balance between support and softness.
Bottom Line No, I would not recommend this to a friend

compact design & firm support
By Sam
from Highlands Ranch, CO
So far I really like this pillow. As a side sleeper, the compact yet firm design is great at keeping my hips in proper alignment. Following hip surgery, I've tried regular pillows (too soft & bulky) and half-roll pillows (too slim & get lost in the sheets). As another review mentioned, if the pillow was about 6 inches longer, it would offer better support for the entire leg. But if you sleep on your side with your legs slightly bent or curled, it offers great support. This pillow is just wide enough to make sure it stays in place. I often get really hot at night, but this material hasn't made me feel uncomfortably hot (at least not any more hot than usual). When I do sleep on my back, I use the pillow as a brace to keep my leg from rolling out (abducting) and it stays in place nicely.

What a wonderful invention!
By Terry with OA
from Iowa
I have wanted a leg pillow for sometime and saw the ad. It works like a dream... and helps you get to that state quickly! Thanks for this product.
Fabulous Product!

Very simple - this is perfect for sleeping and not getting a back ache. It really is the best!

Too Long!
By Don
from Suffern, NY
I liked the product, but it was too long, and not convenient for changing position, when asleep. If it were half the size, it would have been more functional for me.

I have always been super happy with stuff they supply.

By Ross McSwain
Brady, the heart of Texas, is perhaps best known for its annual Goat Cookoff celebration on Labor Day Weekend, but the community is now getting recognition as the nation's new mecca for traditional country music that is still performed in honky-tonks all over the South. The town is home of the Heart of Texas Country Museum, the Hillbilly Hits radio show and the 850-member Hillbilly Hits Fan Club.
With the New Year 2009, the Heart of Texas Country Music Association will celebrate its 20th Anniversary with tickets going on sale at 9 a.m. on February 2 for the big first weekend party and dance scheduled for Friday and Saturday, March 13-14 at the Brady Civic Center. The second weekend anniversary celebration event will be on Friday and Saturday, March 27-28.
The HOT Country Music Association and museum with its new recording studio is a spinoff of the popular fan club that has been hosted for the past two decades by Radio Station KNEL's DeJay Tracy Pitcox.
Pitcox, who started working at the station as a high school teenager in 1986, has become one of the best known country DJ's in the nation due to his personal interviews with legendary country music industry figures such as Willie Nelson, Kitty Wells, Ray Price, Bob Wills, Conway Twiddy, Loretta Lynn and many others. These interviews and some 75 more were later
published in a 360-page book titled Legendary Conversations With A Texas Disc Jockey. The interviews are a treasure of country music history and also include chats with George Jones, Dolly Parton, Kris Kristofferson, Tammy Wynette, Charley Pride and others.
Highlighting the association's activities during the last year was the opening of a new addition to the country music museum which nearly doubled its size, allowing for more displays of many additional items of memorabilia, such as George Strait's Resistol straw hat, boots worn by Johnny Cash, Johnny Bush, Roy Acuff and stutterin' Mel Tillis, one of Minnie Pearl's trademark hats, various fancy costumes worn by Patty Page, Margo Smith, Kay Starr, Dale Evans and Dottsy. Perhaps the most unusual items are Barbara Mandrell's personal jukebox from her Nashville, Tenn. Home, the late Jim Reeves Tour Bus, "Big Blue," that was later used by several other country music entertainers, including the Wilburn Brothers and Nat Stuckey.
The newest operation being carried out under the association umbrella is Heart of Texas Records, which was actually created from a unique fund raising project for funding the country music museum that was started in 1999. Entertainer Leona Williams, a longtime supporter of the facility, suggested that a commemorative record of songs by various entertainers that were working Country Opry shows being held in Llano and Mason be made, explained Pitcox. The result was a CD titled Heart of Texas Country that combined the talents of 21 artists with each contributing one song.
"That CD was so successful that we decided to launch a record label that featured musicians that at one time or another were on major labels and were no longer recording," Pitcox said. "I learned that these artists could still sing great and had a wonderful following. Nashville was simply not interested in working with artists that could not sell platinum . . . We proved that they still had fans and those fans wanted to buy their records."
Pitcox started recording in a San Marcos studio, but now does most of his production in the new Brady studio that was built behind the museum complex. HOT Records are sold through some 12 distributors and half of those specialize in overseas sales where traditional country music is more popular than music being performed by today's entertainers. CD sales also are made through several internet sites, including www.heartoftexascountry.com and CD Baby. In addition, digital downloads are sold through some 60 different sources. Pitcox said that the CD's are warehoused in the museum facility, and that they stock from 10,000 to 20,000 CD's at any given time due to the number of titles in the HOT Records list.
"We allow the artists to select all of their material, but we also have a publishing company featuring several accomplished writers like Justin Trevino and Guyanne McCall. This enables us to show the material to our artists and to guarantee that we keep the musical style that we are trying hard to maintain," Pitcox said.
Another spinoff business developed in the last year is a talent agency - Heart of Texas Talent - that books many of the artists that record for us all over the country, as well as booking other entertainers from time to time including Gene Watson, Johnny Rodriguez, Kitty Wells and Bill Anderson. Pitcox points out that a number of the entertainers he works with are members of the Country Music Hall of Fame.
"Our projects are all hard-core country featuring a special emphasis on steel guitar and fiddle. We generally use the same core musicians on the majority of our projects," Pitcox said. In recent months, he has added several new artists, including Justin Trevino and Amber Digby. He said both entertainers are seeped in traditional country music and have gained a large following not only in the United States, but in recent tours of Sweden, Australia and Ireland.
During the past Spring, Brady and Heart of Texas Records got national publicity when the American Cowboy magazine featured a story about women in country music performing traditional honky-tonk songs. Among the women featured were Digby, Miranda Lambert and Taylor Swift.
Magazine writer Phil Sweetland called HOT label founder Pitcox "a real musical hero. He has turned Brady into a mecca for fans of traditional country music."
During his long career in radio, Pitcox said he has produced more than 800 Hillbilly Hits radio shows, has played in excess of 78,000 songs on the show, taken thousands of phoned-in requests, sponsored more than 100 senior dances at the Sunset Center in Brady, promoted more than 250 Country Music Shows in Brady, Mason and Llano, and has paid out over $400,000 to country entertainers, musicians and talent.
Tracy Pitcox is a busy man, and Brady should be very proud of all his many accomplishments.

Ski bunnies can schuss down the trails at Stevens Pass on Sunday hunting for prize Easter eggs.
Kids from toddler through age 12 start the day off at 10 a.m. looking for golden eggs outside Tye Creek Lodge. There will be five age categories to make things fair. The golden egg winners will score an Easter basket.
Out on the trails, all skiers can keep their eyes peeled for silver eggs, which contain prizes such as free lift tickets and hot chocolate coupons.
And three lucky bunnies may stumble across a golden egg containing a 2013-14 season pass. Clues to the golden egg hiding spots will be given at the top of the lifts throughout the day.

Statement from Mayor Rosamilia
The following is the statement by Troy Mayor Lou Rosamilia about the fight over the weekend involving his city's police department and patrons at Kokopellis Night Club. (Please note in the statement, they spelled the club incorrectly.) Initially, they had said there would be a press conference and then cancelled it and issued this 13-sentence statement:
"The events that occurred at Kokapellis night club during the early morning hours of Saturday, Jan. 25, 2014 are currently under investigation.
Authorities are currently acquiring and reviewing the evidence, including all video footage and witness statements. The situation over the last 72 hours remains fluid and more information becomes available each day.
When officers arrived at 2:45 a.m. to Kokapellis to answer a report of an employee being assaulted, they were faced with aggressive behavior.
Pepper spray was being used by patrons, glass bottles were thrown at officers, a fire extinguisher was discharged and a garbage can was thrown into a patrol car.
This afternoon, I met with Police Commissioner Tony Magnetto, Chief John Tedesco, Assistant Chief George Vanbramer, Deputy Chief Buddy McAvoy and Captain John Cooney.
Although we are in the early stages of the investigation, preliminary evidence indicates that our police department, in an effort to gain control of an out-of-control situation, used necessary force in order to make arrests and protect themselves and others.
Let us not forget, eight Troy Police officers were injured and six of them were treated at the hospital.
A total of six other police agencies responded in order to provide assistance and I thank them for their work in bringing the situation under control.
We were very lucky that the incident ended without further violence and more severe injury to anyone.
A detective has been assigned to the case and the investigation will continue.
This is not the image of the City that we want to portray. This is not Troy.
-Mayor Lou Rosamilia, Mayor of Troy

KNOXVILLE, Tenn. – The University of Kentucky women's tennis team finished the final day of a three-day tournament Sunday afternoon at the Tennessee Fall Invite, taking home two wins against North Carolina State University in doubles and a win against host Tennessee in singles.
"This weekend was very challenging for the team because we were missing players and also dealing with some health issues, but I am proud of the way my team handled it and competed with so much pride," junior Edmée Morin-Kougoucheff said.
The Wildcats began the day winning two of their three matches against North Carolina State University in the doubles competition.

In addition to her doubles win, Morin-Kougoucheff was the only Wildcat to also bring home a win against the Volunteers. Morin-Kougoucheff beat Tiffany Tavares in two sets, 6-1, 6-4.
"We know what we need to work on until January. I can't wait until our first dual match."
The Wildcats will begin their regular season against the University of Cincinnati and Ball State University on Jan. 18, 2014 in Lexington, Ky.

Lool. I'm such a nerd sometimes XD Any way, I just realised that during the splitting of the Six Paths of Pain technique from the actual characters we forgot to change over the redirects on the various pages. It's easily remedied however if you use the Special:Whatlinkshere to find all the lined articles and check them then change the redirects accordingly. Also to note, if you come across any other path in your article that needs changing, even though it's not your assigned one that's fine. So, if you want to volunteer, just leave your name and such in the table above and report back when you're done I guess. ^^--Cerez365™(talk) 13:19, August 14, 2012 (UTC)
Just wondering, on this page, should the Naraka link refer to the power or the character? Jacce | Talk | Contributions 16:13, August 14, 2012 (UTC)
Naraka is mostly done, just waiting for the answer on the question above. Jacce | Talk | Contributions 16:47, August 14, 2012 (UTC)
- It can be either one based on your own discretion, you can say he was restored by the person or through the ability. I think person would be better though.--Cerez365™(talk) 18:55, August 14, 2012 (UTC)
- Alsoo, if you want to do a second one that's fine. It'd cut down our mission budget v_v --Cerez365™(talk) 19:01, August 14, 2012 (UTC)
- Ok, I check it out. And making the needed changes doesn't seams to take up that much time, I might end up fixing all the remaining paths. Jacce | Talk | Contributions 10:40, August 15, 2012 (UTC)

Public Art & Design
by Samantha Rojas | printable version
Winter 2010| Volume XXIII, Number 1
Natural Forces will showcase recent works of art within Broward County and is an extensive mixture of collaborative ideas with earths natural elements at its center. The result is a culmination of creative minds focused on the future and bringing awareness through art. The various artworks capture natural phenomenon such as the light on water at sunset (Alison Skys Vanishing View) in the dynamic of the constantly changing sky; the refraction of color through glass that forms waves in a harmonious combination of light and shadow (Christopher Janneys Shadow Boxing); or words engraved into stone as a metaphor for the library which functions to help one see in new ways (Steve Gillman & Katherine Keefers Written Words), to name of a few of the artistic elements and stories at work in this multi-dimensional exhibition.
This exhibition has is made possible by a grant from the National Endowment for the Arts.
Natural Forces
The Broward County Cultural Divisions Public Art & Design Program recently opened Masterworks, an exhibition by Photographer Jeremiah Jenner, at the Fort Lauderdale-Hollywood International Airport. The exhibition in the Lee Wagener Art Gallery, located at Terminal 2, Departure Level, will run for four months.
Jeremiah Jenners signature style is defined by crisp colors, bold shapes and sophisticated composition. His sleek and minimalistic limited editions have endeared the media as well as the serious art collector. National collectors include industry giants such as the Holiday Inn Corporation, Anheuser-Busch and the Smithsonian American Art Museum; Starbucks on Lincoln Road personally selected him to exhibition during the prestigious Art Basel Miami Beach The Masterworks Series offers a unique overview of Jenners post contemporary photographic works from 2005 through 2009.
The Lee Wagener Art Gallery offers Broward County artists an opportunity to exhibition their work in a prominent, high-traffic area in Terminal 2 that is accessible to the general public. Artists are selected through the Public Art & Design Program and exhibits are changed every four months. The far end of the gallery has been reserved for the exhibition of video artworks from Broward Countys permanent art collection. At present, Tree-Rain, by Broward-based artists Suzanne Scherer and Pavel Ouporov, has been installed as the permanent video artwork.
For more information, contact Christina Roldan, Public Art & Design project manager at 954-357-8542 or e-mail firstname.lastname@example.com.
Artist Mock Up of the Artwork
Artist Larry Kirkland is designing, building and installing an artwork in the ceilings of the two pedestrian skybridges connecting the Convention Center with the garage, in order to transform these utilitarian corridors into a dynamic experience evoking a memorable Sense of Place. Playing off of the sailfish fountain visible beyond the skybridges, the artwork will clad the vaulted ceilings with shimmering sculptural fish scales illuminated with constantly changing colored LED lights.
It is intended to suggest the experience of being immersed in a school of colorful tropical fish. The aluminum scales are finished with different grinding patterns to reflect artificial and natural light in a variety of ways, thereby suggesting movement.
Larry Kirkland received an undergraduate degree from Oregon State University and an MFA with Honors from the University of Kansas. He has collaborated with design professionals and community leaders to create meaningful places throughout the world. In the U.S., recent commissioned artworks were installed at Penn Station, NYC; the City of Denver, the California Museum of Science, LA; the American Red Cross Headquarters and the National Academies of Science, both in Washington, DC. Internationally, his installations include the Putra World Trade Center, Kuala Lumpur, Maylasia; Kensai International Airport, Osaka, Japan, and several of Royal Caribbean Internationals mega cruise ships, including the new Oasis of the Seas.
The Lay of the Land
22 Entry Vestibules in Terminal 2, 3, & 4,
Fort Lauderdale-Hollywood International Airport
The first four inlay entryway floor designs have been installed at the Fort Lauderdale/Hollywood International Airport, for the artwork The Lay of the Land, which consists of six (6) motifs with various color variations to be represented in the 22 entry vestibules identified at both Upper and Lower Levels of the Airports Terminals 2, 3 & 4.
The artist, Pam Beyette, has created a series of inlays illustrating South Floridas expansive and distinctive ecosystems from a birds eye view. The installations reflect the constantly changing pattern and structure of the sawgrass prairies, braided wetlands, and coastal estuaries. The artist aims to enliven the airport visitors experience as they walk through the vestibules onto the mosaic welcome mats with the colorful inlays particular to each terminal.
Pam Beyette lives and works in Seattle, Washington. She received a BFA in painting and printmaking from the University of Washington and has more than 30 years of combined public art, planning and artmaking experience. Many of her site specific artworks have been incorporated into schools, parks, libraries, universities, transit stations, and justice centers. Major and recent projects include lead artist for the Seattle Justice Center in Seattle, Washington; Natures Filters for the Environmental Services Laboratory in Charlotte, North Carolina; and Arborvitae, for Little Cedar Elementary and Glacier Peak High School in Snohomish, Washington. .

Lake Sonoma Winery focuses on the individual appellations in Northern Sonoma County where California's top grape varieties achieve their ultimate expression of character. Zinfandel and Sauvignon Blanc come from Dry Creek Valley, where gravelly soils and a climate of warm days and cool nights produce intense fruit and impressive balance. Chardonnay and Pinot Gris are grown in the very cool, often foggy Russian River Valley, where they develop rich, crisp character. Cabernet Sauvignon is drawn from Alexander Valley, where fertile soils and very warm climate result in mouthfilling character and smooth texture. The intrinsic excellence of these regions is enhanced by sustainable farming techniques in the vineyards, which uses natural amendments and controls to enrich the soil and combat pests.
To preserve and complement the extraordinary character of these grapes, Lake Sonoma Winery meticulously handcrafts each wine. Vineyard lots are kept separate until blending and aging in small oak barrels is tailored to each individual wine. Lake Sonoma Winery produces less than 25,000 cases annually, but every Lake Sonoma wine – through its bold flavors and intriguing complexity - makes a statement. View all Lake Sonoma Winery Wines
About Sonoma CountyView a map of Sonoma County wineries
Twice as large as Napa in size, Sonoma County only makes about half as much wine as its northeasterly neighbor. Because of its vast size, however, Sonoma is able to achieve far more diversity within its borders, which include sub-AVAs that are climatically varied. The atmosphere of Sonoma is decidedly laid-back and down-to-earth, but the wines are serious and well-made, ranging in style from subtle and elegant to rich and powerful. Grape varieties are more varied here, from Pinot Noir and Zinfandel to Cabernet Sauvignon and Chardonnay.
Notable FactsThe largest sub-AVAs of Sonoma include Dry Creek Valley, Russian River Valley, Alexander Valley and Sonoma Valley. Each sub-AVA, with its own micro-climate, is unique in its grape varieties and styles of wine. Dry Creek makes a mean Zinfandel while Russian River produces stand up Pinot Noir and Chardonnay. The Alexander Valley makes some of the better Cabernet Sauvignons in the county and Sonoma Valley creates excellent wines from all the above varieties. Other grapes found throughout Sonoma include Sauvignon Blanc, Merlot and Syrah.
About California
The most famous of the California wine regions is Napa Valley, and these wines are certainly outstanding – but it's not as broad and diverse as its larger neighbor, Sonoma County. Down south, Santa Barbara's Santa Maria Valley is well-known for its Rhône blends, as well as cool-climate varieties like Pinot and Chardonnay. The Central Coast, the largest California AVA, has many different microclimates that lead to a wide range of wines with many sub-AVAs.

Gambler sues after losing $500K while blackout drunk
(NEWSER) – A California man lost $500,000 while gambling at a Las Vegas casino over Super Bowl weekend, but he doesn't think he should have to pay—because he was so drunk at the time. "I feel like they picked my pockets," says Mark Johnston, who is suing the Downtown Grand casino to erase his debt. "I feel like they took a drunk guy ... like a drunk guy walking down the street, and you reach in his pockets and grab all his money." The casino loaned the 52-year-old money, but he put a stop-payment order on the casino credits he was issued, and now his lawyer says the casino plans to come after him for the debt, the AP reports.

Are slight period like pains normal?
I've been experiencing what could be period pain or maybe just early pregnancy pain. I was wondering if this was normal? If I'm pregnant I'm assume my uterus is changing and things are different therefore I might be experiencing some pains? Or am I completely batty and just hormonal from an ever looming period?
16th November 2013 06:53 AM #2
Dear Wanting2beamummy,
It's difficult to know with this type of pain that feels like period pain.
When was your last period? Do you have regular menstrual cycles? Are you planning on doing a pregnancy test soon? Home pregnancy tests are extremely reliable. Having period like pain can be a sign that you are in pregnancy but obviously it could also be the start of your period.
Other signs you may be pregnant (which are sometimes evident around the time your period is due) are: sickness, tiredness and sore/ sensitive nipples.

If I am pregnant it's only within the first 3 weeks at most. I've had previous miscarriages which had all the early symptoms similar to this but also different. I'm tired, not feeling 100%, super hungry, feel nauseous sometimes, suffering a bit of insomnia and of course the pain. It's constant pain like I've got my period but I don't. It's constant pain not shooting or increasing like period pain does. Ive always had a super reliable 28 day cycle so if it's going to come, Monday will be the day. I'm hopeful but also doubtful, I realise my body could be building up to a super awful period which does happen occasionally only time will tell. Can I take Panadol or Nurofen for the pain?? I have a good pain threshold but I don't have patience for continuos pain.
I've been taking Swiss Pregnancy + Ultivite for almost 3 weeks. I picked that brand because it was half price when I was looking.
If my period doesn't come in the next 2 weeks I will do a home test for confirmation.
19th November 2013 06:37 AM #4
Hi Wanting2beamummy,
You can take a home pregnancy test from the first day your period is due.
You should see your doctor if you are having constant pain.
In pregnancy, if you need to take a painkiller then paracetamol is recommended. It is best not to take pain killers that contain ibuprofen in the first 12 weeks of pregnancy. You should also avoid painkillers that contain caffeine as caffeine should be kept to a minimum in pregnancy (particularly the first trimester).
I hope you have good news this month.

My period was due yesterday so I think I'm now 4-5 weeks pregnant. Im nauseous at times, extremely tired at times, sore boobs, have to wee LOTS and a very full feeling uterus. I think I might be pregnant with twins!!! Yikes 2 for 1 deal. If it is we will be ecstatic. Happy with what ever we are given.
My pain has eased and is only a niggle when I over stretch myself. It still occurs but now mostly on my lower right stomach.
We will do a home test this weekend. Fingers crossed.
20th November 2013 08:00 AM #6
I'm glad your pain has eased. I'll be thinking of you and I really hope you have a positive pregnancy test this week.
This early on the pregnancy symptoms are the same for women carrying one baby or multiples really.
Warm wishes,

We took a pregnancy test approximately 3-4 days after my period was due. It came back not pregnant. I'd again been experiencing period like pains and other symptoms on and off. It's been a further 3 days and the symptoms keep fluctuations from feeling all sorts of symptoms to absolutely none. My period hasn't started so I'm off to the doctors tomorrow. I'm going to ask for a scan no matter what she says I now need to know what to do next. Feeling only 50% sure I could be pregnant time will tell.

Dear wanting2beamummy,
I was sorry to read your post above. What did the doctor say, have you had a scan?

Cloth vs Disposable Nappies
I was wondering which might be the best option to use, disposable or cloth nappies? I have an 11 day old baby boy and I have been getting quite a large variety of advice about nappies and I would like to know which you would recommend for my wonderful baby boy.
Also, after being released from the hospital on his 7th day of life, he was brought back to me with a slight nappy rash. Which do you mums think would be best to avoid nappy rashes? How often should I use rash creams?

Dear Martine,
I would not say that one is better out of cloth and disposable nappies but there are certainly advantages and disadvantages of each.
Real nappies are more environmentally friendly, especially if you do not use a tumble dryer. However, they require more work then disposables with managing the washing load. Real nappies also need to be changed more frequently then disposables. Disposables contain a gel that expands and absorbs urine. Some people don't like disposables for this reason; because they are not natural.
Cost is another issue. Real nappies are cheaper in the long run although you do need to pay more in one go upfront. They are even cheaper if you are planning on using them on more than one child.
Some families use both. A particularly popular option, when using both types of nappies, is to use a disposable at night-time as these do tend to cause less leaks.
Do I gather from your post that your son was in hospital without you? If so, I'm sorry to hear this; it must have been a very difficult time for you. Was this because he had to stay in a special care baby unit? Have you been able to breastfeed? Please do just ask if you need any help or support with breastfeeding as we love to support al new families with this because breastmilk provides such a good start in life for babies.
If you are breastfeeding, you can actually express a little breastmilk (do you know how to do this? - please just ask if not) and put a few drops on the nappy rash. Breastmilk works wonders for so many baby ailments.
Other ways to avoid nappy rashs include giving your baby some nappy free time each day. For example, he could have around 30 minutes a day when he is laying on a thick towel and letting some fresh air get to his bottom. A nappy rash occurs when poo and urine interact so it is important to change your baby's nappy often enough. You can use warm water and cotton wool to clean your baby's bottom (this is better than wipes) and make sure his bottom is completely dry before putting a new nappy on him.
Whilst he has a nappy rash you may also use a barrier cream that contains Zinc Oxide in order to stop urine getting to this area and to help it to stay dry. You don't need to put much on and can put it on a few times a day.
Congratulations again - you sound like you are doing really well.
Warm wishes,

I better use cloth nappies if you're at home, but when you're outside the house disposable is recommended. Too much using of disposable nappies can start rashes on the skin of your baby especially if he's too young like 11 days...

Yes disposable nappies can be more convenient for when you are out and about, but I do have some full time cloth nappy friends who have got into a good system for dealing with the nappies when they are out.
Disposable nappies should not cause rashes. They are fine to be used from birth. I'm not aware of any studies which show otherwise? In fact, if a baby has severe nappy rash then some sources such as netdoctor recommend swapping to disposables from cloth nappies because of their ability to absorb the urine better. This is also discussed in this previous thread about nappy rash by one of our moderators Kate. However, both types of nappy are fine to use as long as they are changed frequently enough (which will be more regularly for the cloth nappy).
Best wishes,

Hello again, LJ!
Thank you so much for your reply!
Yes, LJ. My son had to stay in the hospital for a total of 7 days because he had developed newborn jaundice and was in need of treatment. His paediatrician thought it was best if she hold on to him since me and my hubby were still inexperienced with the baby. I believe this was what cause my mild depression when I came home without him.
The nursery in which my son was kept were very pleasant. They allowed me to breastfeed him during my confinement at the hospital. They also encouraged bringing in frozen expressed breast milk while my son was confined without me there. I was unable to visit him at the hospital since I was having difficulty with my operation. I found it difficult to move around.
Anyways, I never really thought of using both disposables and cloth nappies. I initially only prepared disposables for the arrival of my baby, which I have been using all this time. The nursery provided me with a bag of disposables as well as nappy rash cream, so I had thought that disposables were better. I will try your advice and switch from cloth nappies and disposable ones from time to time, leaving his bottom some air time in between, with some treatment using breast milk and rash cream. I will update you the soonest I see results of my baby's rashes.
Thank you again!

Dear Martine,
I'm so glad that my reply was helpful.
I'm extremely sorry to hear that you were separated from your son. I find this quite shocking. I'm so sorry. It does not matter if you are inexperienced/ new parents the point is that you are the parents. You are your baby boy's world. I understand that he had to stay in hospital because of his treatment but I'm so sorry that the hospital did not have better provision for you to stay too. I cannot imagine how difficult that would be. Of course, as you say, it is likely to increase your risk of postnatal depression.
How are you feeling now? Do you still feel depressed at times? Please do remember that postnatal is very common (around 1 in 5 new mums experience it) and given what you have described not all all surprising.
I hope you are able to have hour upon hour of beautiful bonding time with your son now that you are together again.
Thinking of you,

Oh, come on. You knew it was still Tony's, right? The Post Oak institution is the white-glove, cork-waving place to dine if you want to really be waited on. And it's not just about being surrounded by help -- it's the feeling that you're somebody. If Cheers is the place where everybody knows your name, then Tony's is the place where everyone is someone special. It doesn't matter if you're a bricklayer or a captain of industry -- you always get superb treatment. It's the philosophy that made Texas famous: If you can afford the prices, you deserve the service.
Kozy Kitchen opened in 1946, during the era of segregation. Back then, it was one of many Fifth Ward barbecue restaurants for blacks. The brisket is juicy and tender here, and the beef links are the best in the city. But it's the veal that makes this place worth a detour. The veal sandwich is stuffed with a large pile of meat that includes a little of the spicy black coating from the outside and long strings of juicy veal. You can sprinkle it with the homemade hot sauce that's out on the tables, but don't forget to put your thumb over the cap and shake the bottle first. Kozy Kitchen's sandwich combo plate comes with your choice of sides. Go for the potato salad, it's the extremely soft style known as mashed potato salad, and it's made with pickle relish and mustard. The Fifth Ward's historic black barbecue joints were the unwitting victims of integration. Kozy Kitchen is the last one left.
Bibim means "mixed" and bap means "rice" in Korean. So bibim bap means "rice hash." Bibim bap is all the rage lately because it's light and healthy. And the Green Pine Tree is the place to eat it. Their version includes carrots, zucchini, cucumbers and sprouts, all of them marinated in a ginger dressing. The idea is to dump a bowl of hot, sticky rice over the cold vegetables and a raw egg yolk, then add some of the fiery Korean pepper paste called kochujang and stir it all together with a long-handled spoon. The egg yolk, the hot sauce and the marinade from the vegetables combine to form a lovely salad dressing. And the combination of hot rice and cold vegetables creates an exciting contrast. At the Green Pine Tree, you can hide away with your bibim bap in one of a half-dozen private dining nooks, or combine it with a fish course in the neon-lit sushi bar.
Everyone goes on and on about Krispy Kreme, but its down-home vibe feels a little bit forced now that the chain is taking over America. So why not go for the real thing? Christy's Donuts on the corner of Montrose and West Gray is a Houston institution. You can't miss its very ugly yellow and red sign out front -- but hey, that just gives the place charm. Inside you'll find a friendly staff offering up a plethora of tasty treats -- everything from apple fritters to chocolate glazed. We recommend the Bavarian filled doughnuts -- in a word, dee-lish. A dozen is less than five bucks, and the coffee, hot cocoa, juice and soda are reasonably priced, too. Once you've got your goodies there's no reason to leave. Christy's offers seats and tables where you can enjoy your breakfast. Yes, the chairs are made of a bright yellow plastic that matches the sign out front, but nobody goes to Christy's strictly for the decor.
Don't ask the bartenders at the Davenport if they have any suggestions, or you'll be drinking Barbie's Bathwater before the guy next to you makes his first move with his silicone date. Luckily, you don't need to ask for help, because the drink menu at your fingertips offers a long list of hilariously named cocktails. Where else can you find drinks like Duck & Run, Antarctic Blast, Keke D and Bloodied and Bruised? And with more than 50 different kinds of vodka, along with all the other usual liquors and mixers, each drink is as unique as its name.
To name a drink is to love a drink. Harvey Wallbangers are for old geezers, Sex On the Beach is not all it's cracked up to be, and having a Screaming Orgasm is what life's all about. But why not just say it like it is? A rainy night at The Boat at 3 Cheers produced this dizzying little number made of vodka, Southern Comfort, Galliano, orange juice and sloe gin. Keep your old-fashioneds, Exploding Irish Car Bombs and Sex with an Alligator -- we'll take a Slow Comfortable Screw Against the Wall every weekend we can manage.

Your boy toy left you. Your momma yelled at you. Or you gave your phone number to a hottie who never called — and you scribbled it on the backside of your winning Powerball ticket. There is only one thing left to do: throw your worries in the fuck-it bucket and get totally schnockered. It has to be someplace where you won't run into the boss. A place where there is a decent chance you could end up playing tonsil hockey with a good-lookin' stranger. It's imperative that the dress code allow you to wear a revealing tank top. At Mr. G's, fun-loving bartenders and a friendly crowd will support you in turning your frown upside down. Start off with a game of Beer Pong (on Tuesdays) or by observing the college-aged eye candy. Wash down those sorrows with a Jager bomb and keep your stomach in check with the Axl Rose egg salad sandwich (or just nachos). On a good night, the band will be loud enough to drown out your whine, the bar will be clear enough to dance on top of, and by the time G's closes at 5 a.m., a slew of silicone-enhanced dancers will have stopped in after their shift to help you refine your moves on the five stripper poles. If you need anything at all, darlin' (a cab, maybe?), just ask the manager: his name is Bubba and he's totally got your back.
The lobby bar at the Ritz Carlton in Manalapan serves a delicious little plate of olives with its dry Sapphire martinis. There's so many of them, and they pair so satisfyingly with the cold gin and the light streaming in from the beach, that you can't help but have another drink. And then you're doomed. What to do? You don't want to go to Florida Stage, which is just across the street — it's very uncool to pass out in the middle of serious theater. And nearby Sushi Bon, though delightful, is probably not an option, as even good sushi can make drunk people yak. Anyway, you've just spent plenty of money. So why not just... walk? We recommend heading north. In just a mile or two, you'll see some extraordinary things. Just recently, we spied Ann Coulter standing outside of what was presumably her house, watching as a cute young valet from a nearby country club parked a car. Even if Ann's out of town on one of her peerlessly illuminating book tours, you might catch Rod Stewart weeding his lawn, Rush Limbaugh grazing in his, or Henry Paulson sitting glumly on his front porch, wondering how it all went so wrong.
The taxidermy foxes have seen better days. Their fur is matted and thinning in areas, but the artist captured them in that moment of frisky scuttling — just before some Brit shot them both full of lead. You can't help but make up stories like that about these furry scamps while knocking back pints of lager at the Fox and Hound. After all, their eyes stare at you — one pair from the fox on the bar and the other from the fox high up in a picture box on the wall. You suspect they used to wear monocles, or perhaps top hats. Surely they carried pocket watches and spoke with refined British accents that bordered on purring. Sometimes, around the holidays, the bar fox is decorated with a tiny Santa hat: That's got to piss off the fox on the wall, on top of the fact that the bar fox is already closer to the packets of crisps. Taxidermy décor does more than make us feel classy when we hang at the Fox and Hound; it makes us wonder. And for that, we're thankful.
There are two things you cannot school Kilmo on: playing the bass and cooking great bar food. Alligator Alley is Kilmo's joint, and it's his knack for combining freely flowing live music with a southern/Cajun menu that keeps us stopping in for dinner year after year. Ideal bar food must be absorbent, and the Alley has the best selection of fried in town. Kilmo uses a secret batter, but there have been less sober moments late in the night when he's dropped a few clues to its components: buttermilk, specially seasoned breadcrumbs, and "love." Check out their shrimp po' boy: this generous hoagie overflows with shredded lettuce, breaded and deep fried tiger shrimp, and remoulade sauce. It's enough to make Atkins quiver in terror and us squeal in delight. The rest of the menu offers fried gator, fried oysters, gumbo, ribs, and more. Everything is great. To eat a bad dish at this bar, you'd have to phone in an order to another restaurant and have it delivered.UPDATE: This location is now closed.
Some smokers like to sit in a dense fog while they imbibe cocktails, absorbing just as much second-hand smoke as they do first-hand. But others, the more enlightened smokers, prefer to toke outdoors. And in the warm South Florida clime, that should spell out lots of options. Except that a surprisingly large number of bars here are hidden inside shopping centers. Then there's Anglesea — which looks like a funky little fishing shack and boasts a relaxed vibe to match. Technically you can't smoke at the bar inside Anglesea Pub. But hardly anyone sits at the actual bar anyhow. That's because the outdoor covered deck, and a few picnic tables near the canal, are where the action (and the occasional breeze) is at.
A room full of beer-swilling pirates swaying to loud AC/DC near the beach would be the best place to take the cool guests you're hosting — that is, folks you want to get drunk with, and set to reminiscing, not people you need to impress. This would be true even if the Pirate Republic were nothing more than a laidback bar across the street from the beach with cheap beer and good-looking girls. But it's a little more than that. Take the décor: Its walls are covered with pirate paraphernalia – skulls, planks, and more black flags than a Henry Rollins scrapbook. Plus, there's a store next door that sells mementoe ss, including "I want your booty" panties and life-size pirate dolls.

Bolivia: Sucre, one of Bolivia's capitals, is crawling with students looking for a good time.
Coal and asphalt are also found in large quantities in the Department of Sucre.
The victory of General Sucre at Ayacucho terminated the struggle.
That body also renamed the capital "Sucre" and chose the hero of Ayacucho as President of the republic.
When she openly ate a stick of Sucre d'orge after this, I said nothing.
On the little plain of Ayacucho, 11,600 feet above the sea, General Sucre defeated and captured the forces of the viceroy.
Sucre du pomme, by the by, is a very nice candy made in sticks of various sizes from sugar and the drippings of the cider apples.
He had to surrender to Sucre at the final battle of Ayacucho, which put an end to Castilian rule.
Boil and beat thoroughly (as for Sucre à la crême) pour on buttered plates and cut into squares.
Sucre's name is one of those most intimately and gloriously associated with the history of the youthful State.

If you've been listening to the radio or television lately, you may have watched or listened to a commercial for Goldline, a company which sells gold coins. A common question I come across is whether or not Goldine is a scam. The simple answer, in fact the only defensible answer, is a resounding yes. Goldine is a scam. Goldline has never been anything but a scam. Here's how the general scam works.
Step one: Scare the consumers
Like so many scams, Goldline relies on people's fear. Fear of inflation, fear of further economic disaster, fear of losing money, etc. This is why Goldline relies heavily on advertising with people like Glenn Beck, which are extremely good at scaring people about the future. Whatever you do, don't buy into this fear, or you will make very poor investment decisions. For example, buying anything from Goldline would be an aweful investment for reasons I'll outline for you later.
Step two: Differentiate gold from money
Gold is nothing like paper money, like the US currency for example. Money can always be printed, but the fact of the matter is that gold cannot be printed. It must be mined out of the earth. Goldine points this out, and indeed this one point is valid. There is nothing wrong with gold, and it can certainly be an appropriate investment. But not if it's bought from Goldline. When people say you should consider holding gold as an investment, they don't mean physical gold.
Step three: Goldline lies about other types of gold investments
A third thing Goldline is notorious for is lying about legitimate gold products. When people talk about owning gold as an investment, they usually mean the ETF, GLD, or stocks in companies that mine gold. Sure, there are several ETFs dealing with gold, but GLD is the most well known and well respected one. ETFs trade just like stocks, and can be bought with Scottrade, or whatever company you use to trade stocks. The GLD ETF is backed by physical gold, so when you buy a share of GLD, you are owning one tenth of an ounce of actual, physical gold. Goldline loves to lie about GLD, but the fact of the matter is that GLD is legitimate.
Step four: Goldline sells you old gold coins that have significantly less value than they're worth
That's right. Goldline doesn't sell gold bars, it sells gold coins. Why coins? Because they can claim outrageously inflated prices and claim it's because they're coins. For example, if you buy $1,000 worth of gold from Goldline, you'd be lucky if you get $600 worth of actual gold. That's a 40% loss in investment already. That's absolutely devastating, and why Goldline is nothing more than a scam and should be stopped. Remember, what Goldline does is not technically illegal, but it's still an absolute scam. What happens when you want to sell your gold? You have to have them examined, which costs time and money, so you're out even more on your 'investment'. Compare this to an ETF like GLD. When you buy $1,000 worth of gold from GLD, you'll own $1,000 worth of gold, minus whatever commission there is. This is $7 for scottrade, but varies by broker. Generally commission is identical to a stock transaction, so it's cheap. Then when you want to sell your GLD shares, you simply sell them and pay another $7 or whatever your broker charges.
If you didn't read the article, here's the short of it. Goldline claims to sell you gold as an investment, but in actuality, Goldline steals a massive percentage of your 'investment'. It's stealing plain and simple. If you want to own physical gold as an investment, buying shares of GLD is exactly that. Also, you may wish to invest in gold mining companies, which is legitimate as well.
Disclaimer: At the time of this writing, I don't own any shares of GLD or gold miners, nor do I have any immediate plans to buy. I simply want people to be aware that Goldline is a company designed to do one thing and one thing only, steal your money.Stumble it!

Wilson beach closures may result from extra testing
LOCKPORT – This summer's unusual closures of the beach at a state park in Wilson may stem from stepped-up water testing, a Niagara County Health Department official speculated this week.
But a spokesman for the state Office of Parks, Recreation and Historic Preservation said Friday he's "not sure that is true."
Environmental Health Director James J. Devald told the county Board of Health on Thursday that the state is testing water at and near Wilson-Tuscarora State Park more often and in more locations than in previous years.
Closings of the Wilson-Tuscarora beach on Lake Ontario, a rarity in the past, have occurred three times this season, most recently Tuesday.
Krull Park Beach in Olcott, owned by the county and operated by the Town of Newfane, has become well known for frequent closures in recent years, including three shutdowns this season.
The culprit in all cases was elevated E. coli bacteria levels in the water, Devald said.
He said that in Wilson, testing is being done not only at the state park beach but at a dock in Twelve Mile Creek along the park's western edge, at Roosevelt Beach west of the park and at Sunset Island east of the park.
Randy Simons, public information officer for State Parks in Albany, said the agency received a Great Lakes Restoration Initiative grant from the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency in 2010 that paid for more water testing at numerous state-owned beaches.
"Wilson-Tuscarora is one of the beaches being studied this summer. It is being sampled four days a week, and a report will be written and provided to EPA in the spring," Simons said in an email to The Buffalo News. He said testing at the other areas around the park is occurring only once a week, as well as after rains or high water.
For two years, the county has been testing DNA in the water around Krull Park, which is just east of the mouth of Eighteenmile Creek in Olcott. That creek is subject to a federal Environmental Protection Agency remediation plan.
The goal was to find the source of the E. coli there. At first, it was speculated that agricultural runoff from farms along the creek might be to blame.
Suspicion then settled on heavy deposits of seagull droppings on piers. But the last round of DNA tests last year concluded the source was not birds but ruminants, animals such as cows and deer.

May Carolina will be a spring fling for alumni
Two full days is barely enough time for the University of South Carolina to showcase itself to alumni and friends for the popular May Carolina Alumni Weekened.
And, in fact, reunions, workshops, lectures, tours, and receptions Friday-Saturday, May 15-16, will be capped a day later by a Sunday evening concert and social. The Carolina Alumni Association is sponsoring the weekend of events.
"Returning to campus can always be special for alumni, if just for the stirring of memories a walk on the Horseshoe can create. But on alumni weekend, or May Carolina, as we call it, there is so much more to experience," says Marsha Cole, alumni association director. "We can go back to class without the pressure of quizzes, we can root for the Gamecocks at our new baseball stadium, and we can enjoy the company of classmates and our former teachers.
"What a perfect congruence of activities, experiences and emotions!"
Naturalist Rudy Mancke and aging expert Dr. Paul Eleazer are among the popular speakers.
Eleazer, director of the School of Medicine's geriatrics department, whose will discuss the challenges and opportunities of aging in today's society at 3:30 p.m. Friday, and Mancke, the state's most famous naturalist, will discuss South Carolina's natural world from the mountains to the sea at 9:30 a.m. Saturday.
Other weekend highlights include reunions and a party at the President's House, a tour of the new Carolina baseball stadium and Newsplex, and talks on "Securing Your Home PC," "Alternative Fuels – A Business Perspective," and "Long Term Financial Planning."
