Review: Bob's Burgers Season 5, Episode 13: Once Upon a Gayle. Who's Story is Better?
On this week's episode of Bob's Burgers, Gayle's been duped by a date that she was hoping to enjoy with, so the kids, while being grounded, wrote essays to to make her happy and fill the seat for her big night. Here's my spoilerific review of "The Gayle Tales".
Gayle is back in this week's episode and look at that, problems with a date calling off and cry over to Bob's Burgers to calm herself down. It's like sooner or later, Gayle will meet that perfect someone to make her happy and hoping for that guy to don't blow off. This time, it's a man named Stacy. Yes, Stacy. Found out that Stacy is a man's name. Thank you, naming committee for recognizing that.
And of course, the kids telling their own side of the stories they wrote was a nice reference to the Season 4 episode "The Frond Files" except with Gayle instead of the Wagstaff school. With the first with Gene and country music, Tina in 18th Century living, and Louise parodied the hit HBO prime time series, "Game of Thrones". I'm surprised that HBO didn't sue FOX for parodied the hit show.
And since it's an episode with the kids telling the stories, look like this review will be breaking it down into three parts like what I did in my Frond Files review. So look like Gene's story goes first.
Gene's Story
So Gene's story is going country in the most country place on Earth, Nashville.
But how does Gayle was included in the story? Well it all began with both Linda and Gene got attention from Louise as a Hollywood agent but only interested in Linda, meaning that Linda is getting the solo gig which makes Gene quit the band, goes to a bar, and thanks to a drunk Bob, here comes Gayle singing her way in.
Bob in Gene's story, or in this case, the duration of the episode, became the background character this week. He just drank, get drunk, and passed out from a hangover. The fans want a drunk Bob, and this is what they get.
Tina was also pushed back in Gene's story as the stage director when Linda told her to sabotage the duo's chances of getting into Hollywood with a snake. However, that plan backfired. So backfired, that firefighters ain't gonna extinguish this one. Because of that, Gene and Gayle got their chances of going to Hollywood.
And a boot thrown aiming at Linda's face? Is this a drawback to former President Bush dodging pair of shoes thrown at him from an angry citizen in Iraq?
And of course, Scott Bakula came into play, but wait, that's not his voice.
But who cares, it's Gayle's fantasy anyway, so yeah. screw it. Let her be happy.
As for Linda, marries a drunk Bob. That's it.
Okay, that was a bit of a Pro-Gayle/Anti-Linda fitted into the story. It was good for Gayle because she needed that but for Linda, guessing it's for grounding the kids. What are the kids grounded for? You'll wait as you scroll down later. So it look like Gayle found a clear winner.
But wait, it's Tina's turn to tell the story and this one is going all 18th Century. Was hoping for zombies to be added to the story, sorry, it's History that Tina has to follow.
Tina's Story
Tina's story is based on life in the 1700s. Why the 1700s? Two hints, colonial clothing and mentioning of a war. Which war? The American Revolution! But if it is the American Revolution, where's the British Red Coats? Didn't Britain passed a Quartering law in the spark of the revolution following the Boston Tea Party?
Of course, it ain't a Tina story without Jimmy Jr., which in this story, he has long hair and riding a white stallion, yeah…go along with it.
So Bob came into play in the story, no longer a background character because that job now belong to Teddy. Let's break it down, ride's broken down, need help, congratulations, you got a date to the gala.
Of course, that was a nice, yet weird, comeback to bring up the Gayle being attracted to Bob ideal since Season 2's "Dr. Yap", even Linda is not on board with this, hoping for Gayle to not fall in love with Bob.
The dance at the gala was quite good, it's like square dancing adding in butt touching to add progression in Tina's story. But it did lasted for 2-3 minutes till Linda comes in seeing Bob with Gayle. Adding drama in the story, nice.
And Gayle dead by heartbreak after that back at the gala was a bit unsettling. From leeches, to beaches, to screeches, way to commemorate Dr. Seuss' birthday. And guess who decided to join the party, Scott Bakula.
The ending of the story seems a bit questionable, teleported to the future? Well, Scott Bakula is a Star Trek actor, so I guess that might have something to do with that. Speaking of Star Trek, rest in peace Leonard Nimoy, long live and prosper.
Gayle and Scott got married, so does Tina and Jimmy Jr. and that where the story ends.
So who's story is better? For Gayle and the viewers, a very hard decision to make. Add Louise, cause she's next in the story to review, Welp, could bring up a not so full fledged civil war. Gayle, you're on your own.
And now, Louise and the Game of Thrones parody.
Louise's Story
Now let's get this out of the way because truth is, never watched Game of Thrones. Ever. I don't know what the hype is about? Gayle's the queen, and got a visit from Gene as a magician, or in the olden times, a wizard, minus a wand or a beard. And the cats are dragons! Should I alert PETA on this? And I really love the idea of Gayle using the "Where are my Dragons" reference from GoT character Daenerys Targaryen. In a calm manor.
The slap sword was a nice reference back to Season 3's "Boyz 4 Now" because you know, slap. Look, to keep it kid friendly, the blade is a slapping hand. The show's rated TV-14, why keep it kid friendly. Game of Thrones is TV-MA and it has a lot of deaths. Believe me, I checked. The two head off and oh look at that, got caught not one, not two, but three, count em' three!
God, the 50 Shades of Grey movie looks gory, isn't it? That's one of the two obstacles Queen Gayle and Knight Louise had to face, but also had to face an army of shirtless Teddies on a horse, yapping. It's like you're trying to say Teddy is not an interesting character. And throwing back to my Doctor Who experience, Don't think, don't breathe, don't blink. This one is don't listen or you die. Gayle tried to scratch, but thanks to Louise, they made it through, it's like Dora the Explorer gone extreme, minus the map singing that map song that you tried to get it out of your head.
Mort as the Rancor was the best thing someone has to come up with, though his appearance was short in this episode, and only get one line from Andy Kindler, that idea was pretty good. Even though he got eaten by porcelain babies. Hoping for another Star Wars reference, but Mort as the Rancor was the only reference to see in this episode.
Bob as Bobdor was another great idea from the creators and Louise, despite saying only the name like he's some sort of trained Pokemon, I beginning to wonder if Louise's story get my vote on who's story is better. Bob overthrew Linda, free the cats, and lived happily after ever.
But that last part of Louise's story was by far, my favorite scene in this episode, maybe the season overall. It began with Scott Bakula coming in out of nowhere flying with a cat dragon and Bob notices a connection and don't want to be the third wheel, so he fell off to his death. Normally, for the third wheel candidates, they're two sides. On one side, respecting their relationship and go on with your life. On the other side, waiting for a moment to sabotage the newly formed relationship. Bob on the other hand, fell to his death.
So who's story is better? The winner is…no one because the guy Stacy came in and the date goes back on. The near ending of the episode seems a bit disappointed. It's like someone just created a rewrite in the last minute. And course, the answer that we all been waiting for, why did the kids got grounded? The reason why the kids got grounded is because of embarrassing Linda in the supermarket. Started off with Louise wanting to buy ice cream, with Linda getting excited but then came opening the door, Gene scared her and fell on a pile of pads and farted.
But Linda actually letting that one slide over and shorten the grounding period to one night and that's it. So it's like the thing was a bit of a disappointment, but probably gonna let that one slide over, for now, anyways.
So what do I think about this week's episode of Bob's Burgers? The episode was good, however the ending was a bit disappointing. The kids storytelling was a nice callback to Season 4's "The Frond Files" but instead of talking about the school, it's Gayle. As for which story I think it's best? Gene, Tina, you had it coming, but Louise took the cake with the Game of Thrones parody, even though I never even watched the series and making it a headcanon that Louise watched the show, my guess for laughs. And the use of Scott Bakula was a bit overrated, but it's Gayle, let her be. I really like the storytelling, except when it comes to the storytelling, the timing on these reviews get added by the minute. I give "The Gayle Tales"…
…a 7.5 out of 10. The episode was good, the storytelling was excellent, but the reason why I had to give it a 7.5 rating is because of the ending of the episode. Thought one of the kids will go with Gayle, but then comes Stacy, and the ending went down that fast, I don't think it was Olympic medal worthy enough.
…but anyway, tune in next week for some father-son bonding…over a broken item and heading over to the factory for a refund, all while Tina is preparing for a book report. In the fourteenth episode of Season 5, "Li'l Hard Dad".

We were just on our way home from a quick Asda run, and a fire engine pulled out of the side road.
Hubby said to me "ahh, you don't see many of those any more", to which I agreed.
I pulled the car in to the same road, where the fire engine had turned out from, to see another fire engine, two ambulances and one of the yellow CCTV police vans. There were loads of people around, but we couldn't really see anything.
Looking out of the rear window, Gning voiced his idea on what had happend; "I think someone must have been stung by a buzzy bee".
Yep. Valid reason for all the attention right there.

I had this design in my sketch book for way too long.
So why did I hold onto it. Well I don't like to paint or wear black. I do like the little black dress…
Today I looked at my design tucked in a brand new pad of watercolor paper. I placed it there as a work in progress.
I painted with a deep purple.
Doesn't the idea of a purple hat add fun to what I'm trying to say? Yes. Nothing speaks more to me than the purple tone. When you let go of what they'll say, magic happens.
I imagine a woman walking down the street. All eyes are on her. Some are jealous. Some are uttering how much they hate purple. "Who would wear a purple hat?" they'll laugh. All the while she is walking, smiling and wearing her hat never even noticing.
When you let go and be you, you could be Audrey Hepburn. Yes.

Discussion in 'Thumpers' started by GB, Apr 24, 2008.
mtncrawler.....thanks motorcycle superstore one will work for me.
You're welcome - I only found out about it through some earlier searching, no personal experience. So feel free to persecute me should it prove not to work! .....
I actually machined a std 18mm deep well spark plug socket for myself..
Hey team, I just did some maitencence today and now my bike dies after a cold start.
I checked the valve clearance, looked at the spark-plugs, (everything checked out) & replaced the air filter with a uni filter from touratech. Now, when the bike is cold it dies after a few seconds of idling. After it warms up its fine.
I reset the TPS with no POS-RES.
Could it be the uni-filter? could I have over-tightened the valve cover bolts? The only wire I disconnected was the one to the airbag (which I reconnected).
I'm going to let it sit over night & try it when its dead-cold.
Thanks team!
could be the dreaded (not really) cold-start issue? My old Xchallenge didn't have that issue at all, but apparently my new, old Xchallenge occasionally does? I haven't arrived to it yet to experience the drama, but it just means you need to get on and ride/warm it.
Otherwise I hope it's a simple thing you can correct, so do keep us posted. BTW, how you getting on with the ADV-tank install?
It never had the issue before in the 6k miles I've had it...including the 50 degree start this morning (before I worked on it). So I'm thinking it was something I did to it.
Did you try letting it idle for a while (10 min)? I had that issue when I switched exhausts and that fixed it. I recognize that's the equivalent of "turn it off and on again and make sure it's plugged in."
Might be worth cleaning the idle actuator? When mine was having some idle issues after a good filter and plug refresh that was my issue.
Check it out on page 15 I think: http://advrider.com/index.php?threads/bmw-g650x-issue-log-xcountry-xchallenge-xmoto.487473/page-15
Best of luck.
So I had an engineer fit a bush into the clutch cover because it was quite worn. Only done 17000 kilometres. We noticed this scraping on the inside of the clutch cover which we could only figure may have been the clutch plates rubbing if the distortion in the out put shaft was great enough to pull the clutch basket out sideways? Alternatively as I said previously I don't know the history of the bike so it may have been done for am unknown purpose when it was off the bike.
Thanks for the feedback. I went in & cleaned the throttle body top to bottom (I knew I should have done that in the first place). It wasn't filthy, but it wasn't spotless. Either way, you could eat out of it now if you wanted to.
When I started the bike up it did the same thing, wanted to die after a few seconds until it warmed up. So taking @keepshoveling 's advice, I let it fully warm up, then took it for a 10 minute ride. (I love riding this thing without the "tupperware," with the airbox, battery, and coolant exposed...I was next to another motorcycle (a harley) and the guy was just staring at my bike trying to figure out what was going on with it). It felt fine all throughout the revs...I could I felt it surge a time or two...but it was small and to be honest I may be just imagining it. I'm going to let it sit overnight and if it dies on start up I'll take off the valve cover & investigate & retorque the bolts. Should that fail. I'll swap the old air filter back in & see if that changes it.
The bike has always purred, so I want to get it back there.
As long as there aren't loose aluminum chips coming off of it, I wouldn't worry about it.
How old is your battery? Have one to swap into it?
A shot of my xchallenge from today's ride. Cut short due to rain
BMW X-Challenge by Matt Krepp, on Flickr
Not old, a year and change. It's a solid state/gel battery. I always trickle charge it. But to be safe, I'll multimeter it tomorrow.
I didn't notice any of that on an old cover I have laying about but I suggest taking out the clutch package to see if the nut that holds the clutch basket in, is still tight and locked.
It might have been done already by the PO.

Going through people's house
And we found an old abandoned truck next to one of the trails. It was virtually complete !
Awesome !
As part of your throttle body cleaning, did you also clean the idle air controller (plunger)? The purpose of the IAC is to meter the air/fuel so it idles properly. The plunger gets grimey and either sticks, or partially blocks the air path. I had pretty minor issues with it dying after cold starts. After cleaning the IAC it has never happened again.
However, since you also replaced your air filter with a different type, I suppose it could also just be a result of that.
Yea, I gave it a good scrubbing. The brass tip and the black base were spotless, I tried to get into the crevices where it went into the electronic sensor, but it was pretty tight, I mostly blew that part with with the throttle body cleaner
hello my friends. first of all, sorry for this question that can seem little ridiculous for a mechanical engineer...
it's related to the clutch mechanism/case failure in the 2007 G650X. I decide not to change the entire case and instead I'm going to ask a local machinist to make a bushing for the clutch case hole, as others here already did.
My newbie question is about the measures of the hole in the case compared to the release bearing (BMW #21217709526) that goes in it. How much "play" (or clearance) is supposed to have between these two in order to not have any issue as:
1. too much "play"/clearance between the two, of course, as this is the very first reason I'm doing this, to remove the excess of wear in the case hole;
2. extreme low clearance between the two pieces making clutch engagement and disengagement sticky/heavy or even stuck.
I know I could simply trust my machinist, but that's not the case. I want to make sure and, most importantly, to learn.
Have the machinist measure the hole. It'll only have worn on one "side" so measuring between two non worn sides will give you the answer.

Yesterday, we had my family pay a visit to for Sunday brunch at our daughter Lindsey's home. Grandson Cameron came with me to choose up our son Alex who had taken the bus out to this finish of the city. I utilised to have a single plugged in at my desk. Great for instant coffee or broth. I utilized it every day. A pal of mine employed to travel with a heater comparable to the above. It certainly did not take up considerably room! We enjoyed an excursion to Moyenne Island, bought in 1962 by Brendan Grimshaw, the Englishman and modern day-day Robinson Crusoe. He turned the island into a natural haven, guarding the giant tortoises, planting pawpaw trees and relocating birds to the island.
Massive Sur is the coastline of California just north of Santa Barbara operating north all the way to Monterey, CA. Beginning close to Hearst Castle, this beautiful winding scenic ride along the Pacific Coast Highway will take a complete tank of gas, but is properly worth the trip. If you happen to be visiting California, this should be one particular of your leading destinations. Gorgeous vistas, rocky slides, waterfalls pouring straight into the ocean, fog covered lighthouses, abundant marine life, and mountains plummeting directly into the Pacific are what you can anticipate to see.

An attractive and comfy alternative to the traditional rectangular blanket. The NAP Travel Comfy is styled as a back-to-front robe. I've noticed the longer I keep in the army, the far more bags I purchase and try out. I employed to use that identical bag as my primary travel bag! Huge fan. I've given that upgraded to a Condor bag that's a small larger due to the fact I tend to pack additional stuff just in case for a lot of trips.
The original brown & orange cushions shown in the vintage sales manual I got with the trailer are nonetheless below the slipcovers I created. Far more storage is offered below the benches. What is cool: Don't miss Austin's music scene. For much more of an amusement park experience, check out Sea Globe in Dallas. Aviation buffs will appreciate Houston's Space Center. Loved this hub. Some outstanding alternatives, from the bizarre to the fictional! I like the way you use maps and offer synopses for every single book.

Meshuggah - Concatenation Lyrics
A Stale Organic Cage.
I'm In The Stranger: Me.
(Lost In Corporeal Inanity)
The User Of My Face;
Beneath Its Guise I Rot.
A Paradox In Terms.
(I Am Now What I'm Not)
Interconnected, Fused.
My Words Are Its Thoughts.
I Now Share My Self With My Reflection.
Straining To Divide Our Twined Formation.
Duality Within Singularity.
(I'm Forlorn In My Own Withering Soul,
Racked By Continuous Waves Of Dissolution
My Gemini Mind The Creator Of The Undulation.
I Strain To Untangle These Malignant Bonds,
To Become Again The One That I Was)
Coalescence Done,
The Merging Complete,
The Sentence Carried Out.
(I'm Condemned For Eternity)
The Confluence,
Our Interwound Flows;
Surges Not To Be Fused.
(Now Combined, Intertwined)
In This Mental Cage We Absorb Our Selves.
The Only Certainty Is My Suffering.
My Mind In Constant Pleas For An End To This Concatenation.
A Struggle All In Vain,
We're Both The Same.
(A Withering Soul Torn By The Attempts Of Regeneration.
My Gemini Mind The Obstacle Of My Redemption.
I Strain To Elude The Face Of My Other Self.
To Become Again The One That I Was)
Plug Me In, Reconnect Me To My Self.
Plug Me In, Reconnect Me To My Soul.
Gone Are All My Hopes,
All My Vain Illusions.
Deceived I Dwell In Me.
In The Core Of My Agony.
I Fade In This Duress.
I'm Weakening.
The One Who Claimed My Front Is Now The Claimant Of My Soul.
(A Withering Soul Torn By This Antipolar Mental Integration.
My Divided Mind A System Split In Two Creations.
I Strain To Reach The Separation Tools,
To Be Again The One That I Was)
Into The Core Of Self, The Neuro-Axis, I Fade
Within The Fading Core Of Self I Am.....
Gone-Bound, Lost, Away, Phased Out, Non-Existing

the aspect from hell
Suggestions please for an important but horrendous situation. I need a pair of statement plants to bracket my front steps. Facing south west, the area is in total shade from the house for half the year and gets the full blast of the western sun in summer. To make things worse, water pools on the right side of the steps (and only the right side) when there is heavy or protracted rain. At present, I have two Camellia sasanqua "Yuletide" there and the one on the right is a sad sight. Improving the drainage would be extremely difficult/expensive and I don"t want to use pots thereby creating yet another problem every time we go away. My partner vetoes Zantedeschia aethiopica which would solve the problem. Any suggestions most gratefully received.
I"d go for the Zantedeschia anyway. They"re so beautiful.
I have a similar situation except it also has a carport/portico so no rain to water any plants, as well as low light but really only needed one specimen plant. Shock, horror I came across an artificial Cycad in a very tall, glazed pot. Took it home and it"s perfect. This was a FIRST, because like so many gardeners, I hate artificial plants with a passion "but" Cycads look quite artificial anyway and this one has fooled several gardeners who have come to the front door for various reasons. It has been the perfect solution here and don"t need to worry about anyone to water it when I"m away. Would something like this help your situation? I"m still amazed that I have an artifical plant, but hey it suits the purpose, looks great and doesn"t suffer due to it"s surroundings. ;-)
I have a cordyline, Black Knight, in a big pot on my west facing balcony on the Central Coast and it is thriving. It might be worth consideration. I actually have it in a black plastic pot (propped up on another inverted plastic pot) in a beautiful glazed ceramic pot. This way I can remove it if disaster strikes. It has grown considerably over the last 6 months so it may be necessary to check expected heights for your entrance.

Cramer Signs Lucarative New Deal With TheStreet.com
- Order Reprints
- Print Article
If Jim Cramer seems even more animated than usual on "Mad Money" today, it will be for good reason.
Cramer has signed a lucrative new employment contract with TheStreet.com (TSCM), the financial web site that he co-founded. According to a filing with the SEC, Cramer will be paid $1.3 million this year, $1.56 million next year and $1.872 million in 2010. He also gets a $100,000 signing bonus - think of it as mad money - and will be eligible for a bonus of 75% of his salary. He also gets 300,000 restricted stock units that vest over five years. And he gets six weeks of vacation.
In 2007, his base salary was $1 million.
The deal allows Cramer to continue to write his column for New York magazine; neither does it prevent him from doing his TV show or writing books. Under the agreement, Cramer is supposed to write for TheStreet.com and the company's other sites at least 12 times a week.
So let's do a little math. If Cramer works 46 weeks a year, and writes 12 times a week, that would be 552 posts a a year. That's about $2,355 a post. Meanwhile, if Cramer hit his full 2008 bonus, his total compensation for this year, including the signing bonus, would be $2.375 million. That is about 15% of the company's 2007 pre-tax profits.
Nice work if you can get it.
TSCM today is down 20 cents at $9.12.

Dogfish Head Positive Contact
5 Mar
The collaboration brew is nothing new to the craft beer industry. Brewers will often share ideas and ingredients with one another to create something new and typically experimental, but Dogfish Head is trying a new type of collaboration beer by teaming up with none other than hip-hop artist Dan the Automator from Deltron 3030. Positive Contact is the new creation that will be a beer/cider mix, featuring some of Dan's favorite ingredients: Fuji Apples, Cayenne Peppers, roasted Farro, and Cilantro.
The hybrid brew is scheduled to be released in May along with Deltron's new album. Positive Contact will be available throughout Dogfish Head's distribution area but will only be sold in specialty 6-packs consisting of six 750ml bottles packaged with a 10-inch vinyl of 4 new Deltron 3030 tracks and a list of recipes from a small group of renowned chefs. Needless to say, it's quite the unique combo pack and has all the makings of a great night in.

My neighbor Susan, from whom I learn so much and with whom I have a deadly serious tomato growing competition, recently dropped me a note regarding her evolving thoughts re the environment and Christianity. But first, let's get back to that deadly serious tomato competition (Lower Cloverdale Tomato Wars). For those who are interested in such things, I believe Susan is the Big Winna this year, both in Quantity and Quality. We have a stunning selection of tomatoes–French salad, black Italian plums, an heirloom and a Japanese variety. All good but because of work earlier in the year, we neglected to properly prune our apple and pear trees and only too late did we notice that our tomato bed was in shade most the day. Anyway, right now, the Japanese variety–the Momotaro–is the run-away favorite, while the French salad are monster big and impressive, but not as snappy tart as the others.
But I digress. Susan mentioned to me that she's noticing the presence of Earth Ministry at her college, SPU, and will be checking in with them to see what they're up to. Earth Ministry is primarily Northwest based and is currently celebrating its 15th year anniversary–good for them! They have a quarterly publication called Earth Letter with contributions by such luminaries as Wendell Berry, Bill Moyers, Barry Lopez, Pattiann Rogers, and others. They've celebrated previous events such as the Celebration of St. Francis (even I know that St. Francis is the nature-guy in the constellation of saints) with talks by Terry Tempest Williams, Bill McKibbon, and others. It seems like an outstanding organization and a proud offering from this beautiful neck of the woods.
She also pointed to an article in the latest Sojourner magazine that includes three articles on the green movement and what it means (or should mean) to Christians and Christian leaders.
Here's a funny thing: when I went to the Sojourner site, I found the articles and clicked through. The magazine is more than willing to let me read the article for free, but predictably asked that I give info on who I am, etc in order to get it. I could lie (Mary Brown/111 Brown St./Brownsville, OK) but I tend to not do that so often; giving them my real info wasn't an option…because I don't consider myself a christian (or anything else, to be honest).
See? That's why I don't like these artificial boundaries like religion and politics and what not. They lock people in ideologically and block others out. Well, I won't get on that rant. It just struck me that I didn't want to give my name to an organization with a strong religious identity to which I didn't belong. I dream of an open source world.
Last but not least, I ran across a Blog for Green Christians, by Sander Chan out of the Netherlands. It's interesting, you may want to check it out if this topic intrigues you.

She began performing at an early age--first in ballet, then writing, poetry, lyrics and finally music. Lakota wrote lyrics and poetry in high school and later found herself immersed in Hip-Hop music. "Writing Hip-Hop lyrics was like telling a story," she said.
Lakota then started turning lyrics into songs and thus began her career in music. Lakota Jonez won the 2009 Canadian Aboriginal Music Award for Best Rap or Hip Hop Album and has co-written songs with various artists including Rock & Roll artist Derek Miller (Six Nations of the Grand River First Nation) and Rock & Roll band Jesus Murphy.

Buffon:Ibra has certainly kept his incisiveness
- Details
- Category: Serie A
"Ibra has certainly kept his incisiveness, helping Milan to keep the same level from last season."Pirlo has balanced the gap between Milan and Juventus."Was Pirlo a gift from Milan? I do not think so. He wanted to come here and seize a new challenge.
"The Italy international then admitted that he is thrilled to see Juventus challenging for the Scudetto again after the club's disappointing results in recent seasons."It is really satisfying, although this season has been a bit different: Inter have struggled and Napoli have the Champions League handicap, which has narrowed down the Scudetto race to Milan and Juventus."But it is a big surprise, because at the beginning no one thought this could happen.
"This is good for Serie A, otherwise Milan would win it hands down."The 34-year-old keeper then stated that he does not believed that the outcome of Saturday's match will determine the Serie A champion."It is too soon," Buffon noted. "If we win, I do not think we will be closer to the Scudetto. "And the same thing can be said about Milan, if we lose."

Mack the owner is awesome! He took the time to explain every step to repair my AC. I have already sent a friend to Island Auto repair. Kim the receptionist is great! I am so glad I found someone to trust with my car repairs
I've had great experiences with Island Auto. Mack takes the time to explain things in depth and is incredibly patient with customers.
Mack not only explained the process, he walked me through it with kindness, patience and tender care. They treated me as if I were family. Mack is AMAZING. I felt displaced and lost in the system with 50 unanswered questions. Mack had all the solutions and walked me through them all with my friend. Mack even walked to the insurance company with me and worked me through the registry process. My 11 years of anx was wiped in 1 conversation with Mack! My life is back with 1 visit with ISLAND AUTO SALES. THANK YOU ISLAND AUTO �
Best place around Mack is awesome guy and explains everything in detail I recommend these guys
Great place! They were so affordable!! I highly recommend going there for all your car needs!

Mack is a great, honest and trustworthy mechanic. I'll never see anyone else! Good work on my car. I'd recommend him to all my friends
Professional. Innovative. Affordable. Smartest mechanic in Worcester. Refer all my friends with car issues and wouldn't trust or go anywhere else. Quality service and work. Honest guy and staple of the green island area. 5/5
I'd give Island 10 stars if they had it! Great place, Awesome staff and you can't beat the quality of their work and their prices! First time for service there today, Transmission oil and engine oil changed, serpentine belt changed and they even fixed a slow leak in a tire... all done in just a few hours! Mack and Charlene are great as well as the mechanic who did the work... Have to say it's worth the drive there and supporting a local small shop who does quality work at reasonable prices!! Thank you and see you again for my next service!
I have had the pleasure of knowing Mack , both as a customer and a friend for more than fifteen years and have found him to be extremely honest and forthright and fastidious in his capacity as a mechanic. You will be extremely satisfied with his work.I would never use another mechanic.

When looking for an apartment near Tallahassee Memorial HealthCare, it's important to first evaluate your living preferences, habits and needs. Here are three tips on how to narrow down the search and find your perfect new apartment:
Being that Tallahassee is also a prominent college town, there is a diverse mix of student and non-student, conventional apartment communities. Before selecting the right one for you, consider the environment and type of apartment you're looking for. Are you interested in renting an entire apartment or sharing your living space with a few roommates? Student apartments in the area are more likely to offer individual leases with roommate matching services, while conventional apartments are typically based on the entire unit. Conventional apartments often have a more relaxed, quiet atmosphere with luxury amenities and family-friendly activities. Student housing communities offer a variety of resident activities and features to make student life easier such as furnished apartments, easy access to public transportation and short-term leases.
Whether your idea of relaxation includes a glass of wine on the balcony or a picnic by the pool, apartments near Tallahassee Memorial HealthCare are built to accommodate the needs of nearly every lifestyle.

Live in luxury with apartment features like fully-equipped kitchens with energy efficient appliances and upgraded countertops, spacious floor plans and extra storage space. Some apartments include in-unit washers and dryers, hardwood floors and beautiful balconies. Enjoy a refreshing dip in the pool, take your dog to the park for a day of play or exercise your worries away in the on-site fitness center. Students and professionals looking to stay energized and focused may find features like a computer lab, business center or coffee bar especially useful.
For medical professionals, location is everything. With long, strenuous hours and the looming possibility of being called in for an emergency, living nearby the hospital is essential. With an apartment near Tallahassee Memorial HealthCare, you can avoid the added stress of a lengthy commute and rest assured that you're close by in case you need to rush in. Students interning or shadowing may find living nearby the hospital especially beneficial with a quiet atmosphere for studying and neighbors with common interests.

Farm Wedding
This Bride Rode a Horse Into Her Wedding With Cowboy Boots on — Talk About an Entry!
This Bride Rode a Horse Into Her Wedding With Cowboy Boots on — Talk About an Entry!
The couple's story starts back in 2004 at the Catholic Youth Center where Stan was a maintenance worker and Sara had diving practice. As a high school junior, Sara had a crush on the senior boy she'd see around but never expected to come up to her. But one night at the gym, he approached her, and they've been high school sweethearts ever since. Managing long distance throughout college and other bumps along the way truly tested their relationship, but they only came out stronger.
In August of 2013, the two had made plans to meet up with friends for a hike at a local state park. They often ventured there in the Summer with their dog, but something about that day felt different to Sara. The big hint was that instead of throwing on their usual jogging clothes, Stan asked her to wear a little nicer of a shirt. When they reached the waterfall where they had taken a picture together a while back, Stan asked someone to take their photo and then proceeded to get down on one knee and pop the question.
Sara and Stan spent the next year and a half planning their ideal wedding. They decided on Friedman Farms in Dallas, PA, a rustic but elegant venue and "a country girl's dream," according to the bride. Being that sunflowers are Sara's favorite, it only made sense to make them their main wedding flowers, especially with a farm location. The bride and each of her bridesmaids wore cowboy boots the day of, and Sara even rode in on a horse! In addition to a traditional wedding cake, good old fashioned homemade pies were also served for dessert. If you ever needed inspiration for a country wedding, Sara and Stan's is it!
See their photos ahead.

Final Goodbye to 2002 Season
2003-01-14 12:00:00
The most chilling aspect of the National Football League season is its end. There is a unique finality to it all.
In this case, the players return from a cross country trip, get maybe four hours of sleep, return to the complex, clean their lockers, attend a team meeting, and then meet with the press.
By nighttime, there is eerie silence.
When the Jets did speak Monday, they focused on some of their great seasonal achievements. After an ominous 2-5 start, the Jets earned their second consecutive playoff berth under Herman Edwards and won their first playoff game since the 1998 season.
?If you told me this football team was going to win 20 games, make two playoff appearances in a row, and win a division, they could have given me less money and I would have took it because I know how hard that it is to do,? Herman Edwards said before a packed press-room at Weeb Ewbank Hall.
Tailback Curtis Martin, who ran for over 1,000 yards for an eighth consecutive season despite playing banged up, has repeatedly stated that this was one of his most rewarding seasons. The always-thoughtful Martin had a hard time seeing Gang Green's run finally come to a close.
?I have been around death a lot in my lifetime, and I kind of felt that way today,? Martin said. ?I can't equate a game with life, but at the same time, it was just that same emptiness. You try to think about the good things. You try to think about the past times you had, the good memories together.?
Sunday's loss at Oakland will not be a good offseason memory for New York quarterback Chad Pennington. The 26-year old, first-year starter was uncharacteristically inconsistent in the Jets 30-10 loss and the young quarterback endured a physical beating. Early this week, Pennington was talking about building on this season's successes.
?This team accomplished a lot this year,? Pennington said. ?To be able to experience all of the adversity and the emotional roller coaster that we went through as a team, we still made some history and we were able to win a division for, what, only the second time in Jets history. We were able to take it another step further in the playoffs from last year. The good thing; I think we have a good group and a good core around us to be able to expect some great things next year too.?
One of the hottest Jets to end this football year was nose tackle Jason Ferguson. Fergie believes the Jets made a statement to the league with their dramatic late rally.
?We know that we aren't going to go out there and quit,? Ferguson said. ?We have a core group here that won't give up. We want to get better. We didn't accomplish everything we wanted to by just getting to the playoffs. I think we made a statement to the league by coming back from 1-4 and 2-5 starts.?
Edwards reminded everyone that only one team will rest comfortably in a few weeks. The Jets are not the only ones who will fall short of their championship dreams.
?There is only one team that has a good year and they show that one guy with the trophy and he says I am going to DisneyWorld,? the second-year coach said. ?Those are the only guys who feel good.?
For the Jets to feel good next year, they may want to stay in New York as long as possible. Home-field advantage in the playoffs makes the difference. Since 1990, hosting teams are now 43-9 in the Divisional Round. And if you still don't think the regular season matters, just look who remains. The four teams with Championship dreams were the top four seeds entering the playoffs.
?I think there is something with playing home, having that week off, having the rest, getting all of your players healed up going into a playoff game, and realizing that we have to win one game and we're playing for the Super Bowl,? Martin said. ?Just the mentality of it brings a whole other passion to the game.?
With thoughts of home-field dancing in the Jets' heads, every member of the organization realizes the team must get off to a better start in 2003.
?I wish we could still be playing,? said Jets defensive coordinator Ted Cottrell. ?Getting off to a better start next year is going to be a key thing.?
And you would think the Jets should jump from the blocks quicker in 2003. A solid foundation has been laid and the club should have most of its core nucleus returning. Perhaps most importantly, the franchise has found their quarterback of the future in Pennington.
?He is going to win more playoff games than he loses,? Edwards said of Pennington, a third-year signal caller from Marshall. ?I will say that? You can write that down. Put that one in stone.?
The final inscription on the Jets season was written late Sunday in Oakland. Now a long offseason begins for a franchise determined to continue its steep on-field progression in a few months.

Lok Virsa documents Wakhi people in Chitral
ISLAMABAD: A team of professionals from Lok Virsa's National Institute of Folk and Traditional Heritage undertook a field research to Chitral and upper border areas for documentation of Wakhi people and their lifestyle.
A three-member team of National Institute of Folk and Traditional Heritage comprising a video producer, craft collector and cameraman, undertook a field research to Boroghil valley and Lashkargaz in northeast of Chitral for documentation of Wakhi people.
The Boroghil Valley is nearly inaccessible in the extreme northern border of Pakistan. It is located in the Pamir mountain ranges with Wakhan Corridor in the west and Gojal in upper Hunza on the east.
This isolated valley is sparsely populated with a population estimated around 11,000. The valley is known for embroidered socks, sweaters, spinning wool, handmade shoes and sheep coats. Buzkashi and yak polo are the favourite traditional games.
On the way the team stayed at Chapari village in Mastuj Tehsil of Chitral and interviewed elders, storytellers, folk artists and also covered wedding rituals, traditional dances and folk songs. The tea also documented artisans involved in local crafts like weaving 'palisk' (floor rug), rope making and sitar making.
During their stay at Lashkargaz, a village at Yarkhun Valley near Wakhan Corridor, the team produced video documentary on Buzkashi, (goat snatching) a traditional sport of Central Asia, played on horse back. They also made video documentation on lifestyles, traditions, rituals, customs, people, folk games, handicrafts, food, etc. of Wakhan people.
The team also undertook study on traditional houses and collected artifacts for reproduc
ing a three dimensional creative display in the Heritage Museum at Islamabad.
The Wakhi Pamiri people live around the Pamir knot that overlaps four countries – Gojal, Ishkoman in Gilgit-Baltistan and Boroghil valley in Chitral district, the Kohistani Badakhshan Autonomous province of Tajikistan, Wakhan Corridor of the Badakhshan province in Afghanistan and Xinjiang province of China. The region serves as a confluence for some of world's highest mountain ranges and being the territory through which the ancient Silk Route passed it has also been a place of cultural cross currents. A very rough estimate of the population of Wakhi (Xhik) people is over 100,000 worldwide.
Wakhi people have a unique and rich culture, lifestyle, language and social set-up.
Historically these areas have remained isolated from the rest of the world, their life confined to raising livestock and agriculture. In the face of rapid developments in information and communication and interaction with the outer world, there are opportunities as well as threats for marginalised cultures like the Wakhi which has been victim of neglect and apathy on the part of successive governments and other institutions. No single authentic book or document has been published on the history, language, culture and folklore of Wakhi people.
On the one hand while it is important to be part of the mainstream development process it needs to be ensured it is not at the cost of the values and identity of the Wakhi culture which must be saved from extinction.
For this it would be necessary to end its marginalisation. There is concern, however, among people that the cultural values, norms, traditions and perspectives are not lost in their exposure to the big world outside.
Lok Virsa in this regard has undertaken various projects to preserve, document and promote the unique culture and lifestyle of Wakhi people.
In this regard, Lok Virsa has joined hands with Gojal Educational and Cultural Association (Geca) for the preservation and promotion of Wakhi people. A week-long festival in this regard was to be held last year but due to security reasons it was postponed and will now be held in the last week of October at Lok Virsa.
The association in collaboration with Lok Virsa has also made a documentary on the lifestyle, culture and folklore of Wakhi people living in Gojal valley upper Hunza.

Editor's Note: The GECA news team will highly appreciate articles, photographs, videos and other sources of information that can help us know more about the scattered wakhi population living around the Pamir plateau.

Aber Law has been indispensable for us at Invoiced. Jeremy has helped us navigate individual contract negotiations, develop an overall strategy for our customer agreements, and bring our terms of service in compliance with GDPR. He truly is an expert in SaaS contracts.
I don't know how he does it, but his contracts are shorter and really simple. This helps us sell more software.
Jeremy is extremely knowledgeable, and responsive. Been going to him for years. Software Service Agreements, Maintenance Agreements, Contracts, Non Competes, Aber Law Firm has always delivered for us.

I have worked with big expensive firms and found the Aber Law Firm to be faster, easier to understand and communicate with, and more focused on the subtleties of my business. I feel confident that my agreements are balanced and will be met with respect and professionalism. I suggest if you need an expert in this area, then Jeremy Aber and his team are excellent to work with.
We have used Jeremy for the last 7 years and he has provided tremendous value and has been a true business partner! He has simplified our contracting process and ensured we stay on top of most recent security and privacy policies.

I have not met a lawyer that understands the software business more than Jeremy. He especially understands the delicate art of contracting with large customers and is constantly looking for ways to simplify the process for all sides without compromising the deal.
Once again, Jeremy Aber did an excellent job. I really appreciate his concept – short, clear, exact agreements. The service is first-class. Even on complex issues, I get super-fast responses. I highly recommend Jeremy!
He took me by the hand and asked the right questions to learn about my business to provide me with a solution for my business. Needless to say, he has great experience and understands the SaaS business model. I'm looking forward for a long term relation with him for the years to come.
My partners and I started a new healthcare software company and needed legal help in developing a contract. We needed something simple and straightforward that would still give us the protection we needed. Jeremy is extremely knowledgeable and easy to work with. We will continue to use him every chance we get! You won't find anyone better.
I decided to use Aber Law Firm because of what I saw on Jeremy's blog. I was apparent to me Jeremy had dealt with the issues of creating a Saas agreement that I was struggling with. Jeremy was very knowledgeable about software licenses. He finished everything quickly and was very personable. Using him gave me peace of mind that everything was getting done correctly. I highly recommend him for anyone needing a good software license agreement.
Our company was launching a complex software development project and needed assistance in developing agreements that dealt with complex intellectual property issues, consulting arrangements, and new development methodologies. Jeremy's turnaround time was extremely fast and he provided excellent business as well as legal advice. He made sure that we understood the implications of our legal agreements and he did a fantastic job of looking out for our best interests. I highly recommend Jeremy!
Our company has provided software and services to very large law firms for many years, and when we needed a solid SaaS agreement, we were lucky enough to find Jeremy. He not only understood the challenges of dealing with corporate lawyers, but he also understood how to craft balanced agreements that all parties could understand and accept. Responsive, practical, technically savvy and reasonable – what more could one ask for in an attorney?

Time is of the essence
edited January 2019 in Newly diagnosed
I was diagnosed 15th Jan 2019 with DCIS. Appointment with the surgeon is booked for 3 weeks time, but I'm freaking out as this time frame for me seems extensive, is it?
How long has others waited from diagnosis to appointment with their surgeon?
Am I worrying, when there is little need?
Thanks in advance

hi Trinny it took me weeks to see the specialist then I wanted a 2nd opinion diagnosed first week of september end of the october had surgery... back in 20120
Hi Trinny, and welcome to the forum.
Please don't worry about the wait. This question comes up quite a lot here and it's quite common to have waits of several weeks. If the doctors felt it was urgent, you'd be seen quickly.
DCIS means the cancer has not moved out of the ducts. My surgeon said it can sit in there for years and never move.
I know saying 'don't worry' when we talk about cancer is silly, because it's almost impossible! But I don't think you should be alarmed by the wait at this stage. Try to keep busy, distract yourself as best as you can, and if you have any questions in the meantime, don't hesitate to come here and ask. Big hug, K xox3
arpie Mid North Coast, NSWMember Posts: 3,734 ✭Hi @Trinny - Welcome to the blog - lots of support and useful information on what to expect ..... even some laughs to be had, to help cheer you up.
3 weeks is about 'normal' - tho I was lucky & had my appt in 2 weeks as I was diagnosed on Jan 5th & I contacted the office even tho it wasn't 'open' - and managed to get in on the first day of my surgeon's return from Xmas Holidays. The waiting is always hard - I've just had a callback on Dec 4th & it took until Dec 21 to get the biopsy done & I was going apeshit! (All clear.) That 'wait' never gets any easier.
Whereabouts are you (Town/city) - we may have members nearby who can point you to resources in your area.
Take care - in the mean time, try & keep busy, doing what you love doing - make sure you have a good buddy with you at your appointments as an extra set of ears. I even recorded my initial appointments on my phone, as the stress of the day makes it difficult to remember all that was said. Write down any questions that pop into your head - and just work your way thru them with the surgeon on the day.
He should have a Breast Care Nurse available to you, who should become your best friend for any other questions after you've gone back home - or just put them up here & someone will give you an honest answer.
All the best with your appointments xx
Thank you, you have all placed my mind a little more at ease. To reply to Arpies question, Im from Perth WA, treatment is at Fiona Stanley Hospital, Surgeon Dr Fernandez. That alone freaks me out as I cant find any information on my surgeon2
Hello and welcome to our very supportive and warm forum.
I was diagnosed just over 18 months ago when the mammogram bus visited town. What a shock. It was my 9th mammogram in 18 years. I can tell you that there is nothing so frightening being given your results via a telephone call and then being told you have to come to Perth for treatment.
I had my initial treatment at Royal Perth. From diagnosis to surgery I had a wait of 5 weeks complicated by the oft quoted "tyranny of distance". In that space of 5 weeks between diagnosis and surgery I had 3 return flights to Perth. I live remote, some 2,300 kms north of Perth.
My initial treatment was at Royal Perth, however I am now being looked after at Fiona Stanley and I can tell you that there is a huge difference in attitude to patient's care.
I had no confidence in the clinic at RPH. I have all confidence at Fiona Stanley.
I should have learnt from the 5 weeks and 3 flights that RPH had no idea where I live. Fiona Stanley organise all scans and blood tests with the followup results for the same week. It means that I am not coming and going. Cuts down on costs and time. I still whinge though. Would rather go somewhere exotic than an oncology clinic in Perth. However it is what it is.
My very best regards to you for your treatment. Hang about here as we really are a wonderful supportive group of women who do understand the fear and disruption to your life.
Warm Kimberley wishes to you.
Thank you Annie
That helps my wondering mind ❤1
It is one hell of an experience ( 1 I would cheerfully not had). Your mind will wander, you will be distracted. There were times when nothing else existed for me.
Remember this is a time for you to focus on you.
Kimberely women are expected to be resilient, resourceful and self reliant. Those character traits made it difficult for me because all I wanted to do was sit in the corner and lick my wounds.
Blossom1961 Regional VictoriaMember Posts: 1,534 ✭@Annie C Oh dear, I am a visual person and you would have to be a cat to be able to lick those wounds, very awkward. Sorry, imagination overdrive. 🤪1
Ha ha, imagination overdrive definitely comes into it.
Picture this 5'8" (178cm) tall and joints that no longer bend like they used too!
Ah well at least we still have our imaginations. And cats are my favourite pet.3
JJ70 FremantleMember Posts: 983 ✭Hi @Trinny
I think my wonderful forum friends have put your mind at ease regarding your time between diagnosis and seeing a surgeon. I too am in Perth (Freo as you can see). All my friends from counselling group (run through Breast Cancer Care WA - BCCWA) that have been through FSH have been happy. I can't recall Dr Fernandez being spoken about (but that doesn't mean s/he wasn't - I forget a lot of details these days).
Please tell me that you have been in touch with BCCWA - if you haven't PLEASE DO.
They are an amazing organisation that offer all sorts of help. Get yourself allocated a breast care nurse (Joan is awesome - but they all are) this is all FREE. Much love to you during this difficult time of diagnosis which I call the 'What the F*** has Just Happened?' time. Please message me if you want . Jo xx5
Shellshocked2018_ Fleurieu Peninsula , SAMember Posts: 252 ✭Hi Trinny, welcome to this forum where you will find a great deal of information .
There is so much support here and any questions you may have someone will be there to help answer them.
I was only diagnosed October last year.
As to your question regarding waiting a few weeks to see a surgeon, that is nothing to worry about.
I waited three weeks to see the surgeon, as someone has previously said if you needed to see one sooner it would have happened.
Take one day at a time, I saw this time to look into a mindfulness and meditation class to help me with the anxiety of waiting for things to happen.

Women's health is a very complex subject that is always filled with many topic of discussion. One common question that frequently arises with regards to women's health concerns the issue of yellowish vaginal discharge. Most women ask if it normal that they are noticing yellow like discharge from their vagina, the only way to answer this question and clear things up is to talk a little about vaginal discharge in general.
From time to time the female reproductive system produces and secretes some discharge, this charge can be for self cleaning reasons or for other biological reasons, it is all just normal. The majority of vaginal discharge comes from mucus that is produced and secreted by the cervix. This mucus can differ in color, in texture, and in consistence according to the time of the menstrual cycle and hormonal changes. The role of this discharge is to keep the vagina moist, healthy and protected from possible infections and foreign bodies. During pregnancy, the mucus has a very important role of preventing sperm from entering the uterus region.
Most of the time vaginal discharge is clear or white in color and it is without smell. As the menstrual cycle progresses, it is normal for the discharge to change in thickness and become sticky to the touch. During the period days the discharge is white, thick and sticky on the fingers. During ovulation days the discharge becomes clear and slippery. These changes are influenced by the hormonal changes that occur as the menstrual cycle progresses.
The vaginal discharge can change from time to time and appear in different colors than the ones described above. These changes can also be normal but can also be a sign of an underlying problem that needs to be taken care of.
Most of the time when a woman notices yellow vaginal discharge it is on their underwear after the normal discharge has dried up. This kind of yellowish discharge is absolutely normal and should not be any cause for concern. However, from time to time, the yellowish discharge can be a sign of a problem that needs medical attention, particularly if the discharge is satisfies certain characteristics and comes accompanied by other signs and symptoms.
The first cause of abnormal yellowish vaginal discharge is poor hygiene. Poor vaginal hygiene can lead to an accumulation of the normal mucus secreted by the cervix inside the vagina, as the discharge grows older it changes in color to become yellow-like. This is usually accompanied by a foul odor that is unfavorable to the noise. An improvement in vaginal hygiene can easily take care of this problem. It is important to make sure there are no other signs that could signal other problems like infections.
Infections are the leading cause of discolored vaginal secretions. Yellowish vaginal discharge can be a result of an infection is other announcing and accompanying symptoms are present. These symptoms include fever, itchiness, pain, and an odor.
Rarely, a yellowish vaginal discharge can be a result of a possible cervical problem. Cervical polyps and cancer are the two leading causes in this regard. A visit to the doctor, full vaginal exam and a vaginal swab can be enough to confirm or eliminate these causes.
Sometimes, yellowish vaginal discharge can be caused by sexual relations and intercourse. The lubricant that comes with condoms can alter the color of mucus secretion and give it a yellow like appearance. Sperm that gets trapped inside the vagina without being absorbed can lead to a yellowish discharge. Also, the fluids that are secreted by vaginal glands during sexual arousal and intercourse can cause a change in the color of the mucus secreted by the cervix.
Some women on contraceptive pills can experience a change to yellowish vaginal discharge, especially during the first few months of using the pill or when they stop using the pill. This is explained by the fact that contraceptive pills alter the hormonal balance in the body and as a result a discoloration of cervical mucus can occur.
Apart from the yellowish vaginal discharge, there are other unusual changes in vaginal discharge that can be a sign of an underlying problem. These changes unclude:
The most common cause of abnormal vaginal discharge is an infection. Amongst the infections the common ones are bacterial infections, yeast infections and STIs. Each infection has its own particularities when it comes to the color of the vaginal discharge. You may notice greyish vaginal discharge, greenish vaginal discharge and even brown vaginal discharge. The only way to be sure about the cause of the abnormal discharge is to consult with a medical practitioner so they can examine you and run some tests.
When should you seek medical advice when you have abnormal vaginal discharge?
As discussed above, abnormal vaginal discharge tends to come with other signs and symptoms that give a clue as to the underlying problem behind the discharge. It is usually advised that you go and see your gynecologist once you notice very abnormal changes to your discharge. If the abnormal discharge is accompanied by signs like fever, itchiness, pain, and foul odor then you should not waste any more time, go and seek medical advice.
Importantly, when you develop the above abnormal signs during pregnancy you should definitely see your doctor so he can eliminate and dangerous problems that could affect you and the baby.
When abnormal vaginal discharge occurs after an episode of unprotected sex or related relations then you should also seek medical advice. Your doctor will carry out a series of tests just to make sure you did not contract any sexually transmitted infections.
It is also important for all women to go in for an occasional pep smear and cervical cancer screening.

Managing director of the Iranian Offshore Engineering and Construction Company Abolqasem Rahmani said on Sunday that negotiations are underway with international companies, especially European companies on the energy projects.
Gas or oil rigs such as Foruzan rig, weighing 7,000 tons, used to be built in South Korea but the Islamic Republic of Iran is now capable to do it on its own.
He said that five rigs of different South Pars phases have been completed and are loaded as C19 rig, that was already carried to the sea, is now ready to be put into operation.
He added that A19 rig was loaded last week and SP Phase 21 platform was loaded on Saturday. It is going to be fixed and installed in seven days.
Once five rigs are installed in South Pars this year, more than 100 million cubic meters of gas will be added to the national gas extraction capacity, according to the official.
Meanwhile, he said that about eight million man/hour work was done on South Pars phase 19 and about seven million man/hour work on platforms 20 and 21.

If you have been following my posts, you may recall that I mentioned that the best meal I've ever eaten was at Andreini in Alghero, Sardinia.
I had pasta that was prepared in a flaming wheel of "Pecorino Romano della Sardegna" cheese with botarga as a first course and "porceddu" as a second course which is spit-roasted suckling pig. Sardinia's cuisine is influenced by its insular geographic position as well as its farming and pastoral roots.
The island prepares a special paper-thin bread called "carasau" that is served warm. Sometimes it is sprinkled with oil, tomato, pecorino cheese and eggs. It is simple but delicious. For special events and holidays like Easter the bread is embellished to represent sacred objects or shapes.
The regional specialty in the pasta arena is "malloreddus" which are small elongated shells that are spiced with saffron and prepared "alla campidanese" with tomatoe, sausage and pecorino cheese. These little dumplings are still made by hand in many towns in Sardinia. Local restaurants also serve spagehetti alla ricotta e noci (with walnuts). Another interesting Sardinian specialty is "culurgiones" which are large ravioli filled with potatoe, mint and cheese.
In the coastal regions, seaside restaurants serve pasta with sea-urchins or bottarga (sea urchin roe). In the summer, spaghetti with lobster is your best bet. Fish soups like "fregula con cocciula" or "ziminu" are quite tasty. The "filetti di spigola allo zafferano" offers sea bass with saffron. Tuna is plentiful on the Isola di San Pietro.
The island has more sheep than people so lamb and mutton are regional favorites. The "pecora bolita" is mutton stew and the "cosciotto di agnello alla vernacia" is leg of lamb cooked in wine.
For dessert, try some "seadas" or sebadas" which are round pastry disks filled with cheese and lemon zest that are fried and served with strawberry honey. I love the "amaretti" cookies made with almond paste. Don't miss the "mirto" which is a dessert liquor made from the myrtle bushes that cloak the island.
On the western coast, many Catalans migrated to Sardinia and brought their wine making expertise with them which you can enjoy when you try the "Vernaccia d'Oristano." I prefer the dry red "Cannonau" di Sardegna.
The Nuragus vine is found exclusively in Sardinia to produce the white Nuragus di Cagliari wine. Don't forget to visit the UNESCO World Heritage ancient Nuragi structures in Sardinia. To learn more about Italy visit www.vino-con-vista.com

(1) "Abreaction," the title of one of those stories, is a psychotherapeutic technique involving recalled or relived trauma as a kind of catharsis. L. Ron Hubbard observed abreactive therapy while in a U.S. Navy hospital during World War II and adapted it to the practice of Dianetics and Scientology. I haven't read "Abreaction," but it's interesting that Sturgeon and Hubbard struck upon the same topic, perhaps at about the same time. By the way, The Aberee was the title of an early newsletter (beginning in 1954) on topics related to Dianetics and Scientology. I'm not sure of the meaning of the word aberee, but I presume an aberee is a person who has undergone abreactive therapy. Or maybe an aberee is a person who has become aberrant. If anyone knows, please leave a comment.

I'm not usually a huge fan of the colour orange, but the shade they have chosen in this living room is a perfect fall colour. I love that the decorations could be so easily changed for other seasons by removing the orange throw and cushion and the mini pumpkins and adding different colours and decorations. I have to say that one of the other reasons I love this living room is the sweet little painting on the mantel.

Got a pic of sunrise before leaving Pensacola. We departed at 700AM in order to take Motorhome to World Ford for oil and coolant maintenance. We have used them before and quite satisfied. They are very nice and fair. Also give a military discount.
An easy drive to Montgomery and Maxwell AFB, our home for the next two weeks. Very cold and getting in the teens next few days with snow in the forecast tonight. A warming trend this weekend. Sure enough the snow started falling in early evening with an accumulation of only 1 inch. This is our 2nd snowfall on our journey since December in San Antonio.
|2 days after the snow
From here we go to Perry and Appling GA before arriving at Charleston AFB for a month. Hoping for better weather.
