Would recommend using a bait boat to keep pellet and boillies going in the same spot once you find the fish, and don't be shy with it .
Superb accomodation, spotless, well maintained lake, fantastic hospitality, loads of fun to be had with the fish putting a bend in your rods, all in all had a fantastic week, &
George & Dudley, ( the dogs ) were great. Will see you again.

Avian influenza (AI) infections are currently rare in humans, but a mutation of the virus could result in more human cases. The first line of defense against avian influenza is to avoid unnecessary contact with live poultry or wild birds. The best way to protect yourself from all flu viruses is to practice good hygiene and sanitation.
Travel Precautions
While HPAI H5N1 has not been found in the United States, it has been reported in more than 50 different counties. Travel to H5N1 infected countries is not discouraged; however, there are precautions that should be taken.

So, I thought I would make it easier for everybody and give you the Drink of the Day recap every Saturday. The Drink of the Day is good for 2500 points for your Rockoholic VIP account if you pick the exact drink that I gave you on air on a certain day during the work day week.

1 oz 151 proof rum
2 oz cranberry vodka
3 oz 7-Up® soda

The Arctic Incident (Artemis Fowl, Book 2) by Eoin Colfer is the second book in the Artemis Fowl series. It is a well-written, fun filled fantasy for children. It continues the story of Artemis Fowl, now 13-year old, the boy genius and anti-hero sets out to save his father from the Russian Mafiya (sic).
Fowl is set on an estate on the outskirts of
Artemis Fowl continues to ride on the popularity of Harry Potter, but in its own unique way. In Book II, Artemis Fowl becomes more likeable. As his love for his father becomes more apparent, his selfish behavior begins to fade away. Also in Book II, not only does the human-fairy alliance grow and deepen, but so do the many relationships and partnerships. As the relationships grow, the quips and verbal sparring also intensifies. In my opinion, Book II has a more interesting plot than Book I, however the story flow was rough at times. I found myself rereading sections trying to figure out who was doing what to whom or how some one ended up somewhere.

The Arctic Incident (Artemis Fowl, Book 2) by Eoin Colfer is the second book in the "Artemis Fowl series". The series is interesting, but not as challenging to read for a young reader or as daunting to lift as the Harry Potter series. The book is recommended for ages 10 years and up. I recommend this book.

Magonia #1. Author: Maria Dahvana Headley.
Aza Ray is drowning in thin air.
Since she was a baby, Aza has suffered from a mysterious lung disease that makes it ever harder for her to breathe, to speak—to live.
So when Aza catches a glimpse of a ship in the sky, her family chalks it up to a cruel side effect of her medication. But Aza doesn't think this is a hallucination. She can hear someone on the ship calling her name.
Only her best friend, Jason, listens. Jason, who's always been there. Jason, for whom she might have more-than-friendly feelings. But before Aza can consider that thrilling idea, something goes terribly wrong. Aza is lost to our world—and found, by another. Magonia.
Above the clouds, in a land of trading ships, Aza is not the weak and dying thing she was. In Magonia, she can breathe for the first time. Better, she has immense power—and as she navigates her new life, she discovers that war is coming. Magonia and Earth are on the cusp of a reckoning. And in Aza's hands lies the fate of the whole of humanity—including the boy who loves her. Where do her loyalties lie? (Published summary)
My Thoughts:
The narrator of Magonia is a wholly teenage voice, sarcastic and defensive and aggressive. The opening is well-played, in such a way that we expect the story to be another YA Terminal Illness story – one can practically predict the plot line. Snarky clever girl in highschool, nerdy best friend, refusal to admit that she's dying; it's all there.
Then bam everything's changed, and you didn't really think this was just another formulaic book, did you? Come on, Aza tells us, I was meant for more. I quite enjoyed Headley's inventive new fantasy world, where ships sail the sky and their sailors sing their work to a finish. I did feel like it could have been better – although the advance-reviews praise Magonia for its lyricism, and there were some pretty turns of phrase, the language and tone was overall that of the current YA. Headley created a world that was pretty, but could have been beautiful.
Although the ending brought a sort of closure, there's enough unresolved tension that it's clear there are more to come.
Content Review:
Sexual content: Two kisses. "Maybe I've looked at some things on the internet in the category of naked. Who hasn't?"
Language: 14 scatological terms, 10 hell, 4 F-words, 3 d***. "I raise on casual relevant finger at Jenny Green."
Violence: Three people die in an explosion. Pirate is 'executed' by being thrown off a flying ship – she's killed by vultures in mid-air. Character is hit by lightning (but not killed). Pirates board a ship, there is hand-to-hand fighting.
Other: MC's best friend has two moms.

Do you love grilled cheese sandwiches?
How about a grilled cheese sandwich loaded with chorizo, roasted corn, poblano peppers, a cilantro vinaigrette and Pepper Jack and Cheddar cheeses?
When I saw that the Wisconsin Cheese Board was hosting a Grilled Cheese Recipe Contest I had to enter and I was so thrilled when they awarded me second place! The first picture is the one I submitted, the second is the one they took.....I think they're both gorgeous and it makes me want a bite!
They sent me $5,000 and a gorgeous basket of gourmet cheeses!
I just want to show you how messy a day of recipe testing can get around here......sometimes it's not pretty
Be sure to check out the Grilled Cheese Academy to see all the other gorgeous entries!
This sandwich combines all of my favorite taco truck flavors in one melty cheesy sandwich! Chorizo, roasted poblano peppers, Mexican street corn salad and a cilantro vinaigrette are all tied together with Dos Quesos! Melty Wisconsin Pepper Jack and Aged Cheddar are the star of the show in this delicious grilled cheese sandwich!
4 ounces fresh Mexican bulk chorizo sausage
1 large ear of corn, husks and silks removed
1 small to medium poblano pepper
¼ cup olive oil
1 Tablespoon mayonnaise
4 teaspoons lime juice
¼ plus 1/8 teaspoon salt
½ teaspoon cumin
3 Tablespoons room temperature butter
8 slices bakery jalapeno cheddar cheese bread
1 cup packed cilantro leaves
1 small clove garlic
1 Tablespoon minced jalapeno pepper
4 ounces Wisconsin pepper jack cheese, sliced
4 ounces Wisconsin aged cheddar, sliced
In a medium skillet, fry the chorizo, over medium-high heat until browned and cooked through. Drain on paper towels and set aside.
Brush the corn and poblano pepper with 2 Tablespoons of the olive oil. In a large grill pan or on an outdoor grill set to high heat, char the poblano until the skin is black and blistering, about 3-5 minutes. Remove from the grill, wrap it tightly in foil and set it aside allowing it to steam. Grill the corn, turning frequently, until all sides are evenly charred. Once cool enough to handle, cut the corn kernels away from the cob and peel the blackened skin off of the poblano. Place the corn kernels in a small bowl and stir together with the mayonnaise, 1 teaspoon of the lime juice, 1/8 teaspoon of the salt and the cumin. Remove the stem and seeds from the poblano and slice into strips.
Butter each slice of bread on one side only.
Place the cilantro, garlic, 1 Tablespoon of the lime juice, jalapeno, 2 Tablespoons of the olive oil and ¼ teaspoon of the salt in a small food processor and blend until smooth. Spread mixture evenly on unbuttered side of each bread slice.
Heat a large non-stick skillet or griddle pan over medium-low heat. Place 4 bread slices in skillet, buttered-side-down. Top with remaining ingredients in this order: pepper jack cheese, chorizo, poblano strips, corn, aged cheddar. Top with 4 remaining bread slices, buttered-side-up.
Grill sandwiches until bottoms are lightly browned, and the cheese begins to melt. Carefully flip the sandwiches over. Cook other sides until bread is golden and the cheese has melted, about 5 minutes per side.

Having to process huge amounts of data that can be structured and also complex or even unstructured, Hadoop possesses a very high degree of fault tolerance. It is able to scale up from a single server to thousands of machines, each offering local storage and computation. Instead of having to rely on high-end hardware to deliver high-availability, the software itself can detect and handle failures at the application layer, making the clusters of servers much more resilient even as they are prone to failures.

|Shakespeare is the Fair Youth's 'slave' in Sonnet 57
However, other sonnets, including 57, provide a very different tone.
The theme of Sonnet 57 leads on from the previous Sonnet 56, which speaks of the poet's concern over the youth's flagging affections.
In 57, however, the situation seems to have become more serious and the poet is experiencing jealousy over the young man's extended periods spent with various other people.
What is Shakespeare Saying in Sonnet 57?
|What should I do but tend upon the hours
and times of your desire?
Sonnet 57 opens with Shakespeare referring to himself as the young man's "slave". It is often assumed that the Fair Youth was a patron of Shakespeare's and, therefore, the poet had to make himself available when the young man called for him.
He goes on to ask, "...what should I do but tend/Upon the hours and times of your desire?" The implication being that Shakespeare has no way to fill his time, but to wait until his patron and friend desires his company.
Given the poet's prolific output, it's difficult to imagine that he has "...no precious time at all to spend/Nor services to do, till you require." Nevertheless, that's what he claims.
Is Shakespeare Upset With the Fair Youth?
However, he refuses to become angry or frustrated by the time spent waiting. Instead, he tells the Fair Youth that, "Nor dare I chide the world-without-end hour/Nor dare I chide the world-without-end hour." In addition, he claims to have no bitterness towards the youth or the time he spends with others, "Nor think the bitterness of absence sour/When you have bid your servant once adieu."
But to paraphrase one of Shakespeare's other works, perhaps the poet doth protest too much. After all, he wouldn't be writing the poem if he wasn't hurt by the fact his dear friend has found better ways to fill his time.
|To paraphrase Gertrude, perhaps Shakespeare's
protesting too much in Sonnet 57
He goes on to admit to having "jealous thoughts," but claims that he is able to keep these in check and so does not question the young man's whereabouts or who he might be with.
Shakespeare as His Patron's Sad Slave
In the concluding verses, the poet returns to referring to himself as a "sad slave" who sits alone and thinks of nothing except hope that his young friend is happy in his pursuits.
Shakespeare ends by admitting that his hours spent pining for the Fair Youth are foolishly spent, but states that, "So a fool is love that in your will/Though you do any thing, he thinks no ill."
In other words, one in love is incapable of feeling ill toward the object of affection regardless of where that person may go and what she, or in this case he, may do.
Being your slave, what should I do but tend
Upon the hours and times of your desire?
I have no precious time at all to spend,
Nor services to do, till you require.
Nor dare I chide the world-without-end hour
Whilst I, my sovereign, watch the clock for you,
Nor think the bitterness of absence sour
When you have bid your servant once adieu;
Nor dare I question with my jealous thought
Where you may be, or your affairs suppose,
But, like a sad slave, stay and think of nought
Save, where you are how happy you make those.
So true a fool is love that in your will,
Though you do any thing, he thinks no ill.

Reverting to previous versions of files is a core feature of Autodesk Vault. In addition to per-file access to previous versions, users can 'label' a design. Labels, by definition are applied to a folder, and this folder could represent a project, job, purchase order, or customer. A Label is a tool that allows the CAD user to back track to older versions of designs in a folder.
The use of Labels also provides an export function for each captured stage. Optionally, users can create DWF Package files and leverage the Compare feature in Autodesk Design Review. In this post, we will discuss leveraging Labels as a milestone design review tool.
1. Check all files pertinent to the design back into the Vault. Make sure DWF's have been created for all files, specifically .idw's. In Vault, right Mouse Click on the top level Vault folder of the project. Select New Label.
2. Assign a Label name and enter comments to document the milestone that the Label represents. Next, go to Tools>Labels. Note the Label Name, Created By, and Create Date.
3. Now it's time to modify the files. Check Out the entire design from the Inventor drawing. Edit the Inventor part or assembly. Switch over to the Inventor drawing. Save the changes and Check In from the .idw. Be sure the option to create DWF's is selected (upper right hand corner of the Check In dialog box).
4. Back in Autodesk Vault, right click on the same folder as step 1, and select New Label. Assign a new name and enter comments.
5. From Tools>Labels, you can see a list of existing Labels. This time, select the initial Label created and click the Pack and Go option. In the Pack and Go dialog box, select DWF Package as a type, and Send to Destination Folder.
6. Repeat this for the second Label created. Note that each DWF package created will have the Label name and a .dwf file extension.
7. Launch Autodesk Design Review and open the first Label. Select the drawing sheet from the Contents area.

Eve Out Of Her Ruins
Adam Hocker
Eve Out Of Her Ruins
Ahh, Mauritius. Pristine beaches, majestic mountains, a vibrant and diverse culture, and a rich artistic tradition all come to mind when its name is mentioned. It is a paradise far from home, a simple haven from one's troubles, a tranquil escape. Many have written precisely about its rustic charms and its raw physical beauty; but if this is what you are looking for in your next book, I would advise you to stay far away from Ananda Devi's Eve out of Her Ruins.
From its frenzied opening prologue to its devastating and bloody final pages, this book rips through the orientalist stereotypes of "exotic" Mauritius. Set in a slum on the edges of Port Louis, the novel revolves around four remarkable characters: the despairing Eve, whose only defence against the world is her body; her friend Savita, whose family refuses to accept their downfall into poverty; Saad, a teenager obsessed with Rimbaud and who writes poems to escape the drudgery of his life; and Clélio, whose burning rage may consume them all. We follow the four of them as they grow up together, watching as the world closes in on them—as they see their hopes shattered, their dreams shown to be impossible.
In this heartbreaking lightning-paced novel, Ananda Devi burns down all of the colonialist stereotypes surrounding the island, instead depicting a place that has been devastated by history and anguish.
"Between despair and cruelty the line is thin," Devi writes. And it is precisely this line where the novel takes place.

Acrylic Paint Without The Clean UpReviewing: Elmer's Painters | Rating:
When it comes to craft projects, there is an easier way to paint than using open trays and needing to clean out your brushes afterwards. They're called Painters.
Painters come in various colour collections, and are available in medium, fine-tip, and calligraphy tips to suit your needs. They handle just like a marker, but are filled with acrylic paint, for an artistic look, and a permanent finish.
To use, you need to shake the pen, and then press the tip down firmly onto a scrap of paper for a few seconds. Doing this fills the tip up with paint. And that's all there is to it! Use your marker to write, draw, or decorate in any way you would with regular acrylic paint. When you are done, simply replace the cap and walk away. No fussy clean-up!
Painters are good for a variety of surfaces. I have used them to decorate clay flower pots, and to make a custom t-shirt for my sister. They also work on ceramic, wood, and glass. In the case of fabrics, like the t-shirt I made, you need to add just one more step and heat seal your finished project. For the shirt, I waited until the paint was dry, and then placed a clean dry tea towel over the design and ironed it for a few minutes. Since then, the shirt has been through the laundry several times with no fading or bleeding.
I wish I had pictures to show you of my finished projects, but they have all been given away as gifts! I guess that means you will just have to make your own.
If you are into decorative crafting, or if you are good at drawing and would like to transfer your sketches onto an item, these Painters should do the trick nicely.

Herpes and Relationships
Discussing Genital Herpes with your Partner
Many people do not feel comfortable talking about sexuality and sexual health issues. This pamphlet will explore ways of feeling more confident in discussing herpes in the context of a sexual relationship.
Cold sores on the mouth and genital herpes are medically the same condition. The significant difference arises from the stigma that tends to accompany a herpes infection that is sexually transmitted.
Most people find that their partners are both supportive and understanding. It is a common assumption to initially think that a person may base their judgement of you on the fact you have genital herpes. However, for most this is a minor skin infection. People fear the possibility of rejection but the reality of this is that it rarely happens.
Because fear of rejection is a concern, it leads some to question why they should risk talking about herpes. Accordingly, some people choose not to tell. Instead they abstain during herpes outbreaks, practice safe sex at other times, and hope for the best.
This strategy may have more disadvantages than advantages. First of all, you spend a lot of time and energy worrying that your partner is going to get herpes. It's much harder to tell someone if they just found out they're infected with herpes. For most people, the anxiety over not telling your partner you have herpes is worse than the telling itself.
On the other hand, by telling your partner you have herpes and allowing them to enter into the relationship with full knowledge of your infection, you reduce the likelihood of them becoming infected with herpes. This is because, when you have an outbreak, you can discuss it with your partner instead of making excuses for why you can't have sex. Excuses create distance between partners and often lead to misunderstanding and guesswork.
Your partner might interpret your excuses in ways more detrimental to the relationship than an honest discussion of genital herpes would be.
If you are able to discuss the situation openly and honestly, you can find imaginative ways to be 'safely' sexually intimate.
Genital herpes is extremely common, with up to one in four adults who are sexually active having genital herpes, although approximately 80% remain unaware that they are infected.
Inaccurate and stigmatising articles and advertising have contributed to many of us having a lot of negative beliefs related to herpes that make it difficult to convince ourselves that others would want to be with us. It's important to recognise these beliefs and consciously change them. Accepting the fact that you have herpes and are still the same person you were before will make it easier to have a fulfilling relationship.
Getting the facts
The more emotionally charged an issue, the more important it is to find out the facts. Most people know little or no facts about herpes. Frequently, what knowledge they have is coloured by myth and misconception. Having the correct information about herpes not only makes it easier for your partner, it makes it easier for you.
Following are some of the basic facts about herpes that might be important points to tell a partner.
There is a lot of information about herpes. Have educational materials on hand for your partner to read. Be prepared to answer their questions.
- Herpes simplex causes a viral skin condition is known as cold sores (on face), whitlows (on fingers) or 'herpes' on genitals or other skin areas
- Most people who have genital herpes do not know they've got it. The absence of symptoms does not mean a person has not got genital herpes.
- Herpes simplex virus (HSV) most often shows up as small blisters or sores on either the mouth (cold sore or fever blisters) or the genitals.
- HSV can be passed on when one person has the herpes virus present on the skin and another person makes direct skin-to-skin contact with live herpes virus.
- The herpes virus is likely to be present on the skin from the first sign of prodrome (tingling or itching where the outbreak usually occurs) until the sores have completely healed and new skin is present.
- There are likely to be certain days when active herpes virus might be on the skin even though there are no obvious signs or symptoms.
- Always using latex condoms can reduce the risk of transmitting the herpes virus by approximately 50%.
- Herpes is very frequently transmitted by infected persons who don't know they are infected with herpes. Since they have not been diagnosed, they are unaware that they may be contagious from time to time.
- There is effective oral antiviral treatment for people with problematic genital herpes.
Preparing to tell your Partner
What you say and how you say it is going to depend on your own personal style.
Your attitude will influence how this news is received. Psychologists have observed that people tend to behave the way you expect them to behave, and expecting rejection increases the chances of an unhappy outcome.
"When I finally told my partner I had genital herpes, he was relieved, he thought it was something much worse..." – AH
A straightforward and positive conversation about herpes issues is the best approach and may be helped by forward planning.
How long should you know someone before you tell them? If it appears the two of you could end up in bed on the first date, that's probably a good time.
Ideally, though, it's best to give it a few dates before telling. Allow the relationship to develop a little. It's going to be easier if the two of you enjoy a degree of comfort and trust in each other's company. It's probably better to wait until you know and trust each other.
There are good and bad times to bring up the topic of herpes. Some of the less appropriate moments include the crowded bar or party scene, travel en route to a romantic weekend, or a talk when you've just finished having sex. Talking just prior to love-making is not a good idea either.
Bring up the issue when you are not already 'in the mood' for sexual intimacy, when you're feeling good about yourself, and when you both have an opportunity to have a discussion.
The discussion could take place anywhere you feel safe and comfortable. Some people turn off the TV, take the phone off the hook, and broach the subject over a quiet dinner at home. Others prefer a more open place, like walking in the park, so that their partner will feel free to go home afterwards to mull things over. This allows both people to work off a little nervous energy at the same time.
No matter where you choose to have the discussion, it's important to allow for the fact that one or both of you might get emotional.
Try to be natural and spontaneous. If you find yourself whispering, mumbling, or looking at the floor, stop for a moment and try to speak calmly and clearly. Look your partner in the face. Your delivery affects your message. If you are obviously upset, the person you're speaking with might perceive the situation as being much worse than it is.
"The first time I told someone I had genital herpes in the early stages of a relationship, he said: ' You want to know something... I have too.' ...I couldn't believe it... all that worry... we had to laugh." – JM
Conversation starters
The following opening statements represent a variety of nonthreatening ways to prompt discussion about herpes. They are not intended to be regarded as scripts.
- "I have something I'd like to discuss with you. Have you ever had a cold sore? The reason I ask is that cold sores are caused by a type of virus. Herpes simplex virus. I have the virus. Only instead of getting a cold sore on my mouth, I get one in my genital area."
- "When two people get along as well as we do, I think we owe it to each other to be totally honest. I'd like to talk about our sexual histories."
- "I really enjoy being with you, and I'm glad that we're becoming more intimate. I think it's important that we talk about sex. Can we talk now?"
- "We're both responsible adults who want to do what's best for each other and ourselves. Let's talk about safe sex."
- "I feel that I can trust you and I'd like to tell you something personal. Last year, I found out that I had contracted genital herpes."
Try not to be melodramatic. This is not a confession or a lecture, simply the sharing of information between two people. Avoid negative words and keep the dialogue simple and factual: "I found out two years ago that I have herpes. Luckily it's both treatable and manageable. Could we talk about what this means for us?"
Look for logical opportunities to bring up the subject. This way it seems more natural, there's no time to get nervous, and you're not making it into a bigger deal than it is. With more and more singles talking about 'safe sex' and HIV/AIDS, these opportunities come up fairly frequently. You might even be surprised to learn that your partner has been equally concerned about telling you that they have genital herpes or another sexual infection. In fact, the probability of this is reasonably high, given the statistics on HSV.
Realistic and unrealistic expectations
People may just need a little time to assimilate the information. This is where having good written information helps. Consider giving them reading material or referring them to a Sexual Health Centre, the Herpes Helpline
0508 11 12 13
or the herpes website www.herpes.org.nz, to verify the information you've given them.
Whatever the reaction, try to be flexible. Remember that it took you time to adjust as well.
Negative reactions are often no more than the result of misinformation. In some cases they are brought on when a person fears that you're asking them to commit to a relationship, instead of just informing them of the situation. If your partner decides not to pursue a relationship with you simply because you have herpes, it's better to find out now. It takes a lot more than the occasional aggravation of herpes to destroy a sound relationship.
Some people react negatively no matter what you say or how you say it. Others might focus more energy on herpes than on the relationship. These people are the exception, not the rule. This is not a reflection on you. You are not responsible for their reaction. If your partner is unable to accept the facts about herpes, encourage him or her to speak with a medical expert or counsellor.
The majority of people will react well. They will respect the trust you demonstrate in sharing a personal confidence with them. With the proper approach and information, herpes can be put into perspective: an irritating, sometimes recurrent skin condition – no more, no less.
Regarding the relationship overall, know that you can have the same level of intimacy and sexual activity that any couple can. It is true that in an intimate sexual relationship with a person who has herpes (oral or genital), the risk of contracting herpes will not be zero, but while there is a possibility of contracting herpes this is a possibility for any sexually active person. And the person may unwittingly already have been exposed to the herpes virus in a previous relationship.
All relationships face challenges, most far tougher than herpes. Good relationships stand and fall on far more important issues – including communication, respect and trust.
Whether or not this relationship works out, you have enlightened someone with your education and experience about herpes, correcting some of the myths about herpes that cause so much harm. You have removed the shroud of silence that makes it so difficult for others to speak. And you have confronted a personal issue in your life with courage and consideration.
What it means for Partners
Your partner has genital herpes. Your support is very important in helping you and your partner to understand what this means. When your partner goes back to the doctor, you may wish to go too, so that you can find out more about the herpes infection. In the meantime, here are answers to some questions you may have.
What is Genital Herpes?
Genital herpes is a common infection generally transmitted through sexual contact. It is caused by one of two members of a family of viruses which also include the viruses causing chickenpox and shingles, and glandular fever.
Usually, genital herpes is caused by infection with herpes simplex virus type 2 (HSV-2), and studies suggest that in some countries, one in five people are infected with this virus. Genital herpes can also be caused by HSV-1, the virus which usually causes cold sores on the lips and face, through oral/genital contact.
Genital herpes, for most people, is an occasionally recurrent, sometimes painful condition for which effective treatment is now available. Generally, it is not life-threatening and has no long-term repercussions on one's general physical health.
Anyone who is sexually active is at risk of catching genital herpes, regardless of their gender, race or social class.
How has my Partner caught Genital Herpes?
Genital herpes can be transmitted through direct contact with an infected blister or sore, usually through sexual contact. It can also be transmitted when there are no symptoms present. HSV-2 infection is usually passed on during vaginal or anal sex. HSV-1 is usually transmitted by oral sex (mouth to genital contact).
If your partner has only just been diagnosed as having genital herpes, this does not necessarily mean that he or she has been unfaithful to you, or sexually promiscuous in the past.
Your partner may have caught genital herpes from you. It is possible that you carry the virus without knowing that you have it, since up to 80% of people who have been infected with HSV-2 have either no herpes symptoms or such mild symptoms they are unaware they have the herpes virus. So it is very easy for you to have unwittingly transmitted the infection to your partner. The symptoms of the infection vary greatly between individuals – it might be totally unnoticeable in you, but cause severe blistering in your partner.
Since the genital herpes virus can be transmitted through oral sex as well as vaginal sex, it is also possible that your partner caught the virus from a cold sore on your mouth or face. Remember, it is possible you can pass the herpes virus on even if you didn't have a cold sore present at the time of contact.
Alternatively, your partner may have contracted the herpes virus from a previous sexual partner, perhaps even several years ago. The herpes virus can remain inactive in the body for long periods, so this may be the first time it has caused symptoms.
What are the symptoms of Genital Herpes?
If your partner is having a first episode of genital herpes, he or she is likely to feel generally unwell and have fever, headache, and general bone and muscle aches, as well as irritation in the genitals. This may last for several days, during or after which reddened areas may appear on the genitals. These may develop into painful blisters. The blisters then burst, generally to leave sores which gradually heal, usually without scarring.
The severity of this first herpes episode varies between individuals, but for some people it may be severe and last for up to three weeks if not treated.
These symptoms should quickly resolve with treatment. The doctor should have given your partner a course of antiviral treatment. This is an effective medicine which, although it does not cure genital herpes, can speed recovery and reduce the severity of the herpes episode. There are also other steps which your partner can take to relieve the pain of genital herpes.
However, for many people who have genital herpes, the physical symptoms are far outweighed by the emotional stress relating to the diagnosis. There are many misconceptions about genital herpes, including the belief that it is associated with promiscuity, and these have given it a reputation which may cause your partner to feel angry and shocked by the diagnosis.
Anxiety, guilt, loss of assertiveness and fear of rejection are also common emotions.
Your support can be very important in helping your partner to deal with these feelings and to minimise the effect of genital herpes on his or her life.
How do I know if I have Genital Herpes?
Most people who have genital herpes don't know because they have either no symptoms or such mild infrequent symptoms, it goes unrecognised.
Until recently, diagnosis could only be made by clinical symptoms and swabs from an active herpes episode. However, there are commercially available blood tests becoming available which can distinguish between herpes simplex virus type 1 (HSV-1) and herpes simplex virus type 2 (HSV-2) antibodies. The time taken to develop antibodies is usually two to six weeks after infection, but can be up to six months. It is also important to know that false positives and false negatives are common in these tests.
Because of the limitations of a blood test to diagnose herpes, it is recommended you discuss the implications of the test with someone who has experience with them. It is important that the test can distinguish between HSV-1 and HSV-2 antibodies.
If you think you might be showing signs of the infection, consult your doctor.
Do the symptoms of Genital Herpes return?
The symptoms of genital herpes may reappear from time to time. This is because once the herpes virus is acquired, it stays permanently in the body. Most of the time it remains inactive, but every so often it may reactivate and cause another outbreak.
Each individual is different – some people never have a recurrence; others may have recurrences several times a year. However, recurrent outbreaks are usually shorter and less severe than the first herpes episode.
Certain events or situations can trigger recurrences, and you may be able to help your partner avoid or reduce the trigger factors, which may include stress at work or home, fatigue, ill health, loss of sleep, friction due to sexual intercourse, and menstruation in women.
If your partner has frequent or severe episodes of genital herpes, or if the recurrent outbreaks are causing a lot of anxiety for your partner, then he or she may benefit from suppressive therapy (taking oral antiviral tablets continuously), which prevents or reduces recurrences.
What can we do to reduce my chances of getting the Herpes infection?
If you take the necessary precautions, the chances of getting the herpes virus from your partner are reduced. Genital herpes does not mean abstinence from sex or a reduced enjoyment of sex.
The risk of transmitting the herpes virus can be reduced about 50% if you use condoms. The continued use of condoms in a long-term relationship is a personal decision that only the couple can make. Most find that as the importance of the HSV infection in their relationship is seen in perspective, that condom use becomes less relevant if this is the only reason condoms are being used.
However, most couples choose to avoid genital skin-to-skin contact during an active episode of herpes because this is when the herpes virus is most readily transmitted. This period includes the time from when your partner first has warning signs of an outbreak, such as a tingling or burning in the genitals, until the last of the sores has healed. Also, sexual activity prolongs the healing of the episode.
Herpes transmission risk is increased if there are any breaks in the skin. For example, if you have thrush or small abrasions from sexual intercourse, often due to insufficient lubrication. It can be helpful to use a lubricant specifically for sexual intercourse and avoid sex if you have thrush. Sexual lubricant is helpful right at the start of sexual activity.
Sores in other areas – such as the buttocks and thighs – can be just as contagious as those in the genital area, and care should be taken to avoid direct contact with such sores during sex.
At other times, there is still a small risk of transmitting the herpes infection through a process known as asymptomatic shedding, even if your partner is showing no signs of genital herpes. This risk can be reduced significantly if a person with herpes takes suppressive oral antiviral treatment.
If you or your partner has a cold sore, it is advisable to avoid oral sex as this can spread the herpes virus to the genitals.
You cannot catch genital herpes by sharing cups, towels or bath water, or from toilet seats. Even during a herpes outbreak, it is only skin to skin contact with the parts of your partner's body which have the herpes sores which you need to avoid. You can still cuddle, share a bed, or kiss.
Where can I get more information and advice?
After you have read this booklet and discussed genital herpes with your partner, you might have specific questions or concerns about herpes. Your doctor or your partner's doctor should be able to answer such questions or recommend other experts who can provide advice and support about herpes. Continue to go back to your doctor or counsellor until all your queries about genital herpes are answered.
Sexual Health Clinics also provide confidential free treatment, management and information.
In some areas, there are local genital herpes support groups that can be a valuable source of information and support.
Controlling recurrent Genital Herpes: the use of oral antivirals in Herpes management
The following section gives you in-depth information about the use of oral antivirals to treat herpes. Aciclovir has been used for this indication for a number of years now and found to be highly effective in controlling herpes recurrences.
Some people with genital herpes have identified factors which may influence frequency or severity of recurrences. Factors such as stress, diet and lifestyle may be worth considering when looking at ways of managing herpes in your life. Each case is individual and what works for one may not work for another.
Frequent or severe recurrences of genital herpes infection may interfere with normal work and social activities, and cause disruption to your sex life. However, there are steps which you can take to reduce outbreaks and help bring the herpes virus under control. This section explains what you can do and answers some other questions which you may have about living with genital herpes.
Once you have acquired the herpes simplex virus (HSV-2) it remains permanently resident in your body, living in a structure called the dorsal root ganglion, which is part of the nervous tissue located near to the base of the spinal column. It spreads down the nerve to break out on the skin from time to time. Most of the time it is inactive, but every so often something happens to reactivate it, which causes the symptoms you recognise. Sometimes the herpes virus can reactivate and be shed without recognisable herpes symptoms (asymptomatic shedding).
It is not known exactly why the herpes virus becomes active again. Some people recognise certain trigger factors which contribute to an outbreak. These may include friction due to sexual intercourse, ill health, stress, fatigue, depression, loss of sleep, direct sunlight and menstruation.
Many people find that as the years go by the number and severity of their herpes recurrences naturally diminish. There may be several reasons for this, for example, changes in lifestyle, in the body's immune system, in the herpes virus itself, or in your ability to cope with the trigger factors.
Education and counselling will often help an individual cope with recurrences. People who make contact with a support group for people with genital herpes often describe this as being a turning point in their coping with genital herpes in their life.
What is 'suppressive therapy'?
Suppressive therapy involves taking an oral antiviral drug every day for prolonged periods. It interferes with the herpes virus' reproductive cycle and so prevents or dramatically reduces the number of recurrences. When recurrences do occur, they are usually less severe and shorter lasting.
If you find the frequency of your outbreaks unacceptable, or if you are finding it difficult to cope emotionally with having recurrences of genital herpes, tell your doctor and discuss the use of suppressive therapy.
How effective is suppressive therapy?
Studies have proven that continuous suppressive antiviral therapy for herpes can dramatically reduce the frequency of herpes outbreaks or prevent them altogether and reduces the risk of transmission by 50%.
For example, a very large study found that people who had an average of over 12 herpes occurrences a year, could reduce the frequency of their herpes outbreaks to less than two a year after one year of continuous suppressive therapy.
The study also showed that if recurrences do occur during suppressive therapy, they are usually less severe and shorter lasting.
"I didn't want to take any drugs, so I tried natural therapies. These didn't work. I now take aciclovir 400mg twice a day and have not had any outbreaks since. If your outbreaks are frequent, I really recommend it." – MK
Who is suppressive therapy suitable for?
Your doctor may agree that suppressive antiviral therapy is suitable for you if one of the following applies to you:
- You are having frequent herpes recurrences.
- You have less frequent but particularly severe or long lasting herpes outbreaks.
- You find recurrences of genital herpes are making you depressed, anxious or withdrawn, or the emotional upset caused to you by genital herpes is disrupting your social activities or sex life. Such feelings can themselves bring on a recurrence and so you can easily get into a vicious cycle. Taking suppressive therapy, perhaps only for a short time, can help you break the cycle and give you a sense of control over the infection.
- You experience severe pain (neuralgia) due to recurrent herpes episodes.
- You have only a few herpes recurrences but they always occur during specific situations, for example, when you have exams or go on holiday. You may wish to start suppressive therapy before you go on holiday and continue on it until you return, thereby reducing the chance of a recurrence.
- You have recurrences when you are starting a new relationship – suppressive therapy may decrease the risk of herpes transmission to your partner.
- You know that stress is a trigger factor for your herpes recurrences, and you are going through a stressful period, for example a new job or a recent death in the family.
- You want to avoid a situation which would be spoilt by a herpes recurrence, for example if you are going on your honeymoon.
- You have another illness which triggers a recurrence of herpes – a course of suppressive therapy may be appropriate until the condition triggering the outbreak has resolved.
How do I take suppressive therapy?
There are two oral antivirals available for suppressive treatment in New Zealand:
- Aciclovir tablets 400mg taken twice daily, morning and night. If you start suppressive therapy, it is important not to miss any doses and to take it regularly at approximately 12 hourly intervals. If your recurrences are not suppressed by this dose, you should discuss this with your doctor as taking 200mg four times a day may be more effective. Aciclovir is also avalable in a soluble form if you are unable to swallow tablets.
- Valtrex tablets 500mg taken once a day. People who find aciclovir isn't working in treating problematic recurrent herpes, can now access valtrex by fully subsidised prescription from their doctor through a Special Authority application. This is a new generation antiviral with better absorption.
How long will I need to take the treatment?
Many people who use suppressive therapy say that they get so used to taking the tablets or capsules they are happy to continue with the treatment.
If you choose suppressive therapy, you do not have to stay on it permanently. If you prefer, you can take it until you feel in control of the herpes infection, but this is usually a period of 6-12 months initially. Your doctor may suggest you stop the suppressive therapy for several months after you have taken suppressive therapy for some time, in order to assess how active your genital herpes remains. If you are still having problems with herpes recurrences, you and your doctor may then decide that you should start suppressive therapy again.
Is it safe to take the treatment for a long time?
Aciclovir has been reported to cause no serious side-effects, even after years of use. A few people taking suppressive therapy do experience minor side-effects such as headache, nausea and diarrhoea. If you have a problem, discuss this with your doctor.
Research to date shows that people with normal immune systems who are on oral antivirals for a long period do not develop virus resistance or clinical breakthrough. Also, there is little interaction with other drugs, e.g. the contraceptive pill is unaffected by Aciclovir.
Will suppressive therapy make it easier to live with Genital Herpes?
Suppressive herpes therapy may give marked improvement to your emotional well-being. Many people find the fact that they can control the infection gives a boost to their sense of well-being and self-confidence. Even if only taken for a few months, suppressive therapy can help you to come to terms with emotions caused by recurrent genital herpes, including depression and anxiety.
However, suppressive therapy is only part of it. There are benefits gained from expert counselling from your doctor or nurse, or by speaking to a counsellor on the tollfree Herpes Helpline 0508 11 12 13. Make sure that you continue to talk to a health professional you are comfortable with, at least until you feel completely at ease with having genital herpes and in command of the infection.
Are any other treatments effective against Genital Herpes?
The antiviral drug Aciclovir was the first therapy which had been shown conclusively to be effective in treating genital herpes. New antiviral drugs have become available which work in a similar way to Aciclovir, are more effective and require less frequent dosing to treat or suppress the recurrence.
These are not available in New Zealand. Recent studies using an HSV-2 vaccine are showing some promise in both prevention and transmission of HSV-2. However, these are still in the developmental research stage and will not be available commercially for some years.
Many people find that having a healthy diet, eating regularly and getting enough sleep are helpful in preventing recurrences.
Can Genital Herpes harm babies, either during or after pregnancy?
Having genital herpes does not affect your ability to have a baby. Overall, the incidence of neonatal herpes (babies up to 28 days old infected by herpes) is very rare. However, when it does occur it is potentially very harmful to the baby. It is therefore important to tell your doctor or midwife if you or your partner have had a history of genital herpes. They will then be able to provide information, reassurance and optimal management.
Recurrent episodes of genital herpes during pregnancy are not harmful to the foetus. If you have genital herpes at the time when your baby is due, there is a small risk that the baby could become infected at delivery as it passes down the birth canal. This risk is most substantial for mothers who are having their first ever episode of genital herpes near to or during delivery. However, if you are simply having a recurrence of genital herpes, then the chances of your baby becoming infected with herpes at delivery are low as the baby is protected by antibodies circulating in the mother's blood.
Is it safe to take drug treatment for Genital Herpes during pregnancy?
As with any drug therapies, oral antiviral tablets are not routinely recommended for use during pregnancy. Aciclovir has been used for treating genital herpes for over 15 years and as with any drug, a register has been kept to report any adverse side effects for women who have taken it during pregnancy. To date there have been no adverse side effects reported for either the baby or the mother.
Due to the potential seriousness of a primary episode of genital herpes for the baby and the relative safety of Aciclovir, it is now recommended that Aciclovir is used for treating a first episode of genital herpes or severe recurrent herpes in the last trimester of pregnancy. It is believed that the benefit of using Aciclovir, by reducing the risk of transmission of herpes to the baby, outweighs the risk of not using it.
Episodic treatment
Episodic treatment is taking a short course of Aciclovir at the onset of a recurrence. Those who have less frequent recurrences may find episodic herpes treatment useful. It works best if treatment is taken as soon as warning signs of an impending herpes recurrence (such as neuralgic pain and/or tingling or buzzing sensation in the skin), occur. If taken soon enough, it may stop ulcers developing (known as aborting the lesion). It helps to have aciclovir available beforehand. If you want to use episodic treatment, ask your doctor to prescribe a supply for you.
This approach will not have any effect on asymptomatic viral shedding and hence its effect on reducing herpes transmission is unclear and not likely to be very significant.
This approach is useful, however, for persons who have infrequent attacks or for when persons are stopping continuous suppressive therapy.
General practitioners are able to prescribe oral antivirals for suppressing herpes. Prescriptions can be filled at retail pharmacies.

If you are within a local radius, I am available for consults in the privacy of your own home, or I am happy to visit you in hospital once you have had your baby to help with those precious first few feeds. Together we can devise an individualized plan to suit your specific needs for your family.
I also have consulting rooms at Bateman Commercial Centre, 15/22 Parry Ave, Bateman.
Although a natural process; breastfeeding is a learned technique. Being prepared antenatally can reduce a lot of breastfeeding stress and issues. Learning optimal positing and attachment techniques, understanding basic principles of supply and demand, and learning your baby's cues can be taught antenatally. If you have previously had difficulties breastfeeding we can discuss those issues and work together to ensure a positive experience is achieved.
I will assess your baby's oral structure and function of the tongue, do pre and post weights, observe your baby's signs at the breast, ensure you have strategies for optimal positioning and attachment and can help you and your baby establish a healthy feeding relationship. If there are factors restricting your baby's breastfeeding ability ( Ankyloglossia - tongue tie/ torticollis/ poor suck function ) then I can advise you on all your options for extended health professional input. I provide a plan and a follow up phone call within a week of your consult.
I look forward to hearing from you and helping you on your amazing breastfeeding journey!

The Federation of Disability Organizations in Malawi FEDOMA in collaboration with the Malawi Council for the Handicapped MACOHA in their endeavor of improving lives of persons with disabilities, they are implementing an inclusive Microfinance and Sustainable Livelihood IMFSL Pilot project implemented in two districts; Blantyre Urban and Salima Rural.
According to the FEDOMA's IMFSL project Officer Patrick Ulaya, the project works together with two Microfinance institutions namely Opportunity Bank of Malawi OBM and Concern Universal Microfinance Organization CUMO in designated districts of Blantyre Urban and Salima Rural respectively to pilot the provision of microfinance services to persons with disabilities in an inclusive format.
The project according to Ulaya is aimed at generating knowledge on which one would be more effective between an urban setup and rural setup as the two targeted districts were also reached at as one way of supplementing the Community Based Rehabilitation CBR work underway in these districts.
The project is on board to eradicate the exclusiveness among persons with disabilities in the country. In this case, the project calls for economic inclusiveness and ensures persons with disabilities are economically empowered.
"We introduced this project in order to reduce poverty levels and to increase opportunities for sustainable livelihoods for persons with disabilities through improved access to microfinance services and community inclusion but take me clear that our main role as MACOHA and FEDOMA is to orient and link up persons with disabilities to these microfinance institutions and these microfinance institutions are the ones providing microfinance services to the intended beneficiaries," said Ulaya.
The pilot project which started in November, 2013 and expected to be completed in October, 2015 planned to reach out to 500 beneficiaries in total with 250 beneficiaries per each targeted district. These include persons with disabilities, parents and Care givers.
"FEDOMA is grateful for CBM's intervention with the funding necessary for the implementation of this project. MACOHA and FEDOMA have partnered with two microfinance institutions in provision of microfinance services in their respective targeted districts. We are also thankful to persons with disabilities in those mentioned districts for their involvement in this pilot project," he added.
In terms of the progress tremendous, FEDOMA is delighted as there is quite considerable progress as so far the project has reached a figure of 450 beneficiaries out of 500 intended beneficiaries and even the payment rate is quiet recommendable as no default has been registered so far. "So far we haven't yet heard of any default as the beneficiaries in both districts are so trust worthy in settling down depts and one of our achievements in this project is the inclusiveness by the lending institutions have shown so far by making amendments to their promises accessible and also another achievement is the attitude the staff are reaching out to people in the communities as they are able to understand disability and even the communities themselves are able to take themselves in board. All we are saying here is not exclusiveness but enlightening inclusiveness. These are some of the achievements we have registered so far," he highlighted.
Ulaya also sighted the relationship with the media as the project has been using media as a key element to lease awareness through radio adverts as so far some microfinance institutions have already shown interest to be part of the facilitators of the project as so far, talks with such interested microfinance institutions are in progress and the project verbally encounters the Vision Fund, a microfinance institution in Blantyre as it has shown an interest to work with implementers of this project The project has also recruited World Relief Microfinance institution in Salima District as the institution is able to facilitate the modalities of Village Savings and Loans VCLs to persons with disabilities.
However, the project has been experiencing some challenges and one of the challenges registered is of to do with documentation. This is a problem as the implementers are finding difficulties when compiling data as there is no electronic documentation. He however said such challenges will be overcome as possible means are in progress to eradicate such problems.
" In terms of challenges, we are experiencing high demand persons with disabilities in both districts of Salima and Blantyre they do come in large numbers looking for the provisions of the microfinance services and the figures are so huge than our expectations. The other challenge is that capturing data and documentation is quiet a challenge as the beneficiaries are not documented electronically. However, we are making it that we should overcome such challenges. The project which is sole funded by CBM through out, is expecting to be phased out in October. However, according to Ulaya, there is a room to extend the project further as talks are in progress with the funding institution (CBM) seeking for the extension of the project.

MALELANE, South Africa (Reuters) - European Tour rookie Sebastien Gros made nine birdies in a sparkling 63 to surge into contention after the third round of the Alfred Dunhill Championship at the Leopard Creek Country Club on Saturday.
The Frenchman was one under after opening rounds of 71 and 72 but struck form with a bogey-free day to finish in joint second on the leaderboard at 10 under par, three shots behind home favorite Charl Schwartzel.
Gros was level with compatriot Benjamin Hebert, who had a mixed day as he carded a 68.
The 26-year-old Gros, playing just his second European Tour event after finishing second on the Challenge Tour last season, hit the low round of the week and missed a putt on the last for a 10-under-par 62.
"That was the first time in my life that I had a 10-under putt," Gros, whose only other tour appearance was a tied 52nd at the Madeira Islands Open in August, told reporters. "I'm very pleased with what happened today.
"It was not that good from the tee but I was recovering back and every time I had a good opportunity I made it so the entire round was really good.
"I'm very pleased because even if I had a great season on the Challenge Tour, you never know how you compare to the top players in Europe or South Africa so being in contention is just a good feeling."
Schwartzel, a three-time winner of the Alfred Dunhill Championship, led by five shots going in Saturday's round but lost his fluency of the opening two days and could only muster a two-under-par 70, including three birdies and one bogey. South African Dylan Frittelli carded a 66 and was alone in fourth on eight under par, five shots behind Schwartzel.

The 21st century sees the market for early music saturated to a point where it is often no longer viable to offer straightforward recordings of early repertory. To make their mark artists must attract attention in other ways, and the degree of creative fantasy seems on the increase. The CDs reviewed here neatly capture this range, from the conventional to the downright eccentric.
As Roger North reports, John Jenkins (1592–1678) 'had a very great hand on the consort viol' and with this consort experience came a thorough understanding of the potential of weaving intricate counterpoint for six viols. His six-part consort music (12 Fantasies, two In Nomines and two Pavans) presents a substantial technical test to all six players, in which the frequently energetic, muscular themes are shared equally among the violists, presenting a lively challenge for the overall ensemble. Phantasm's ensemble on their new recording Jenkins: Six-part consorts (Avie AV 2009, rec 2005, 66') is faultless, and each work is beautifully conceived as a whole with wonderful musical intelligence and clarity. Take, for example, Jenkins' Fantasy no.5, which opens with an extended meditation on Dowland's Lacrimae verae until disturbed by a spirited dance played with splendidly earthy crispness; this gives way to an elegant Almain which is quickly interrupted by an unusual figure based on 3rds, aptly described in Laurence Dreyfus's liner notes as like entering 'a room crammed with tick-tocking clocks'. The composition concludes broadly, moving through some delicious passing modulations, notably from B major to G major—which Phantasm shapes most lovingly, before concluding with a plagal cadence in D. North hints how Jenkins embraced a wide spectrum of emotions in his own performance, playing with 'wonderful agility, and odd humours'; this is fittingly matched by Phantasm's professed enjoyment in 'taking risks in its search for renditions that renew the expressive traditions of early music'.
