We also have a Summer Programme
Free admission to Members. Visitors are most welcome. We ask £1 per visitor to help with the costs.
Waterways from the Air in the 1920s and 30s
Venue: St Johns Church, St Johns Ave, Churchdown, GL3 2DB at 7-30 p.m. (Directions)
We welcome the return of Tony Conder, former curator of the then National Waterways Museum at Gloucester as our speaker. His talk will take us to various canals around the country, as seen in images from the renowned Aerofilms collection. These will be complemented by modern day images on the ground from Tony's extensive collection and historical details about the sites.
Around Gloucester by Tram
Venue: Highbury Church Hall Priory Walk, Cheltenham GL52 6DU at 7.30 p.m. (Directions)
Our speaker, Peter Davey inherited a lifetime interest in trams from his father, Miles, who photographed his son at the age of six "at the controls" of a tram at Kingswood, Bristol. Illustrated by his own and his fathers photographs, Peter has written several books on the history of Bristol tramways. He has also researched and published histories of the tramways in Weston-super-Mare, Taunton, Swindon and fortunately for us - Gloucester.
Annual General Meeting and talk The GSIA Photographers
Venue: Rodborough Community Hall, Butterow West at 7.30 p.m. (Directions)
After the formal business there will be an illustrated presentation entitled The GSIA Photographers. GSIA is fortunate that from our formation in 1964 many of the prominent members of the society took 35mm colour slides of the county's industrial archaeology and our events. Sadly, many of these members have now passed on, but in several cases their families kindly donated to GSIA the IA portion of the late members' slide collections. During the last two years tremendous progress has been made digitising the slides and ensuring they are properly captioned. The presentation will show a selection of these pictures from 1964 – 1994 along with brief profiles of the photographers.
Mills of the Stonehouse and Eastington Area
Venue: Rodborough Community Hall, Butterow West at 7.30 p.m. (Directions)
The inspiration for GSIA member, Dr Stephen Mills' talk came from August's GSIA walk in the area. This took in mills and other industrial features in and around the village of Eastington. At its peak in the 19th century the village was a thriving mini mill town, with no less than three major mills engaged in producing the region's distinctive woollen cloth. At times, several others in adjoining parishes came under the same ownership and were worked together. Both water and steam power were used. Many industrial remnants dating from the 16th century up to the time of the Second World War are still visible, along with those related to both canal and rail transport.
John Bellamy (1808-93) A Gloucestershire travelling showman
Venue: St Johns Church, St Johns Ave, Churchdown, GL3 2DB at 7.30 p.m. (Directions)
Dr Steven Blake, former Museum and Collections Manager at Cheltenham Museum will be our speaker on an entirely topic new for GSIA. Travelling shows were a familiar sight in 19th-century England, and in its day one of the best known was Gloucestershire-born John Bellamy's 'British Model Gallery'. This was a collection of cork and card models of historic buildings that toured the country in a fleet of caravans between 1836 and Bellamy's death in 1893, when he was described as 'the oldest showman in England'. Drawing on Bellamy's unpublished memoirs, contemporary newspapers, letters and diaries, this talk traces his career as he travels from town to town and fair to fair, focusing in particular on his Gloucestershire connections. In so doing, it provides an insight into an important aspect of Victorian popular culture.
GSIA Presidential Lecture
Forest Coal: A review from early times
Venue: Highbury Church Hall Priory Walk, Cheltenham GL52 6DU at 7.30 p.m. (Directions)
We are delighted to have as our speaker our new President, Ian Standing. The Forest of Dean Coalfield was isolated and self contained. It lay within a royal forest where mining was governed by a unique code of customs, and legislation. With early beginnings, the industry blossomed after 1700. The illustrated talk will cover the geology, history and organisation of a coalfield that has left a rich heritage within the landscape.
Gimson & the Barnsleys
Venue: Rodborough Community Hall, Butterow West, GL5 3TZ at 7.30 p.m. (Directions)
Our speaker is Dave Walton who writes "I first came across The Arts & Crafts Movement during my time as a volunteer for the Cotswold Wardens when I was planning a themed guided walk for their programme of walks, in the area of Sapperton. Having entered the churchyard there I saw three very large granite slabs with engraved metal plates which upon investigation were marking the graves of Gimson and the Barnsleys. I then discovered that the museum in Cheltenham housed a wonderful collection including a number of pieces of their work and the rest as they say is history."
All meetings are from 7.30 To 9.00pm. For further details (or advice on Directions) contact: Ray Wilson (01453 860595)

Had a fabulous time in your 1st Class Cabin!! *****(5 stars)
Bev and John
Labor Day Weekend
Bonney Lake, WA
PS Love your decor style!!!
I drove from Iowa to WA to see my son, grandchildren and great-grandchildren. They did not have enough room for us to meet so I contacted HomeAway. This home was in a middle location. The owners of this property were so good to work with me to get into it at such a late date. I, my son his wife and daughter stayed at the home. The accommodations were comfortable and well supplied. We enjoyed the VCR and there were many good movies to watch. The diverse decor was very interesting. It rained so we didn't get to use the big deck with table, chairs and grill. The yard with the fire ring and chairs was another big attraction we wish we could have used but the rain kept us inside. The grandchildren and their babies were there for 1 afternoon and it was great to meet and take pictures in private. I would have liked to stay longer/ would love to stay again if I get out again. I would have liked to walk in the trees and see the other things there.
This place was a perfect, quiet getaway! We loved everything about it and it's clear that the owners have put a lot of effort into making it lovely and welcoming😉
Loved the stay especially the kayaks and quiet. Would have liked a bit more seating in the living space for watching movies.
The house was very cozy. Great location.
We really enjoy your vacation home! Everything was available inside the home similar to our own home. We had a great time.
The setting is beautiful and the cabin is decorated quaint and comfortable. Great location, easy access to many activities and any convenience you may need. The Knudsen's are so accommodating. Would stay again and wouldn't change a thing!

It's been a long, hard day at the office and your feet are killing you. As soon as you get home, the first thing you want to do is run yourself a soothing, hot bath. Now, the latest research shows that baths are not only great for unwinding and soaking away the stresses of the day, they can also play an important role in boosting your immune system, help skin conditions like eczema and even alleviate serious medical disorders.
One study, published in the New England Journal of Medicine, showed that diabetics who spent just half an hour in a hot tub could reduce their blood sugar levels by around 13 per cent - as the heat dilated their blood vessels, blood-flow improved and the body made better use of its insulin, the hormone that converts blood sugar into energy.
A separate Japanese study showed that 10 minutes in a warm bath improved cardiovascular health in elderly men and women, helping them to cope better in exercise tests and reducing pain.
Previous research had suggested that hot baths could be dangerous for heart disease patients, because they temporarily increase blood pressure.
Now a new book, 48 Hours to a Healthier Life, claims baths can be used as a simple-form of hydrotherapy to keep the body in mint condition and reduce the risk of illness.
"I heartily recommend bathing," says the book's author, Suzi Grant, a member of the British Association of Nutritional Therapists. "It can prevent colds and viruses, reduce stress, improve sleep, strengthen blood circulation, boost the immune system and detoxify the body."
So what's the best bath for you and how long should you spend in it?
Warm baths - 90-95F or 32-35C - open the pores and encourage sweating, which helps to release toxins. They are good for mild detoxing and slight colds. Warm baths can also help lower blood sugar levels, relieve painful joints and muscles, and help to keep your bowels working properly.
Soak time: 10-20 minutes.
If you're really stressed out, a cold bath can be the perfect answer - but they're only for the very brave and those in robust health. The temperature needs to be 55-65F, or 12-18C, says Grant. "Cold baths are fantastic if you're full of tension. They do the opposite of hot baths as they thin the blood and increase blood sugar levels."
Soak time: a quick dip - between six and 30 seconds at the most.
For skin conditions such as eczema, hives or rashes, adding some baking soda (sodium bicarbonate) to your bath can make a big difference. It acts as a mild antiseptic, opens the pores and relieves itching and skin irritation. Fill the bath with lukewarm water, add about a pound of baking soda and mix well.
Soak time: 10-20 minutes.
Yeast infections such as thrush can be helped by adding three or four cups of cider vinegar, preferably organic, to your bath. It's also very good for detoxifying the body, according to Grant, as the vinegar helps to restore its acid/alkaline balance. Add to a full bath of warm water.
Soak time: 15-20 minutes.
Sprinkle 3-5lb of sea salt into the water and mix in well for a thoroughly relaxing bath. The cooler the water and the shorter the time spent in the bath, the more it acts as a tonic, says Grant.
Soak time: 10-20 minutes.
Colds and headaches
Hot foot baths can help with colds and headaches as well as refreshing tired feet. Pour enough hot water into the bath or a bowl to cover your feet and ankles and add a few drops of an essential oil such as lavender, peppermint, thyme or lemon. Finish by rinsing your feet with cold water.
Soak time: 10-20 minutes.
"A cold foot bath is absolutely brilliant if you're insomniac or just sometimes have trouble sleeping," says Grant. Soak your feet until they start to feel uncomfortably cold. This treatment is also useful for constipation, nose bleeds, tired feet and colds.
Soak time: as long as you can bear.
Try alternating between hot and cold foot baths if you suffer from circulatory problems or varicose veins. Start by soaking your feet for one to two minutes in hot water, followed by 30 seconds in cold. Keep alternating between the two for 15 minutes, finishing with cold water.
Soak time: 15 minutes.
48 Hours to a Healthier Life is published by Penguin, price £6.99.

Mr Ward
Ian Ward (1961 – 27 January 2008), commonly known as Mr Ward in media reports,[n 1] was an Australian Aboriginal elder from Warburton, Western Australia who died after being transported in the back of a prison van in the Western Australian outback.
Ward was filmed as a child leading a traditional life with his family in the 1960s by film maker Ian Dunlop. He was a central community figure at Warburton and in the surrounding lands with a knowledge of culture, land, and art, and was known as a "culture man".[1]
He was involved in forging relationships between his own community and non-Aboriginal communities in Western Australia, elsewhere in Australia and overseas: he was chosen to represent the Ngaanyatjarra[2] lands in a delegation to China. Mr Ward assisted and worked in outback Western Australia with a variety of scientists, geologists, paleontologists, geophysicists and others associated with geological surveying. He had worked as an interpreter in transactions relating to native title. Mr Ward was involved in Landcare, looked after water holes, and baited foxes, dingoes and wild cats. He was a highly skilled hunter, but also assisted many non-indigenous people to see native wildlife such as bilbies and rock wallabies. As an elder Mr Ward worked for many years in a battle to have the rights of his people in the Gibson Desert Nature Reserve recognised. Mr Ward was a well-known dancer and speaker and created works in glass including the art glass series The Seven Seals of the Ngaanyatjarra Lands.
On 26 January 2008, Ward was arrested by Laverton police and charged with driving under the influence of alcohol.[3] He was then driven 570 kilometres (350 mi) to a courthouse, remanded in custody, and driven a further 352 kilometres (219 mi) to a prison. The van's air conditioning was not working and the temperature was so hot that Mr. Ward had third-degree burns to his stomach from lying on the metal floor. It was noticed by the Prison transport contractors G4S driving the vehicle that Ward was unconscious. He died shortly afterwards.[4]
The mode of transport used in Ward's death had already been warned about prior to his death.[5] The response to the circumstances of the death was in part immediate.[6][clarification needed]
Inquest and response[edit]
Ward's death was the subject of a coronial inquest.[7] The inquest found the two guards who accompanied him, the company in charge of the prison transfer service (G4S)[8][9][10] and the WA Department of Corrective Services contributed to Mr Ward's death.[11][12][13][14][15][16]
Compensation for his family after his death was delayed, and involved a number of government authorities[17][18][19][20] The delays caused significant loss of confidence in both the government and its capacity to have safe delivery of prison transport in isolated areas of Western Australia.[21][22][23] In 2010 the family were compensated.[24][25]
By 2011 some further responses were occurring,[26][27][28] including the Department of Corrective Services pleading guilty to his death in May 2011.[29][30]

King of the Fairway
By mustang6560 on 2/16/12
I just registered for a chance to win $1,000,000.
No, seriously, I did.
I registered to play in the King of the Fairway, which is billed as a "first of its kind" golf tournament. The event is designed to give non-professional golfers a chance to win professional money without having to compete against professionals.
King of the Fairway (www.kingofthefairway.com) is a 50 state knockout tournament with a progressive structure that is promising the "little guy" a shot at a real prize and a real title "King of the Fairway".The structure of the tournament is fairly straightforward. There are three rounds - a local playoff, state championships and national final. 144 players per state will advance to the state championships and the top two players from each state will advance to the national final. The dates and locations for the local playoffs won't be set until the registration is completed next month.
You have until March 5 to register in the initial registration, which is free. Then, starting on March 5, all registered players who were selected will receive an email letting them know the location of the local playoffs and they will be given a chance to pay the registration fee. The fee is $295 and it guarantees you at least one round of golf at a course in your area. But, if you qualify for the state championships or the national final, you don't have to pay any additional fees.
I am not planning to complete my registration next month and pay the $295 because I'm an 11 handicap so there's no chance I'm going to win. But, the birdiXris's of the world might, who actually have some game, may be interested.

ya no HCP, no chance here.
dartboss04 says:
i'm with Banker...no HCP...no shot...also that $295 is pretty steep...you better be playing somewhere really nice locally at that rate...
bkuehn1952 says:
They need the entry fees of 3,390 people just to pay the $1,000,000 prize. If you figure the local courses are going to want, on average, $50 a player, they probably need between 4,000 and 5,000 entrants to break even. So they need 4-5,000 scratch players who have $295 burning a hole in their pocket to sign-up. Not gonna happen, especially since playing for prize money, even unsuccessfully, would result in loss of one's amateur status.

huffle not sure I've got any other useful suggestions - are there locum agencies for opticians? - but massive sympathy, horrid to have all your plans turned upside down like that and to feel like there's nothing you can do about it.
Also hugs to mrs c - not what you wanted! But at least they know about it now so you will be getting all the appropriate treatment and monitoring. Hope you're feeling ok about it, or at least as ok as you can be, lots to get your head round.
squid go easy on yourself sweetheart, you sound like you're being a bit critical of yourself just for having a little meltdown when everyone knows pregnant ladies ar entitled to meltdowns whenever. How you are feeling is normal, you are doing brilliantly.
elpis huge congratulations so pleased for you. Would love to be home that quick post section but suspect given last times disaster thwt may not be an option they give me!
Congratulations Elpis!!!!!
Squid can I join you in feeling awful about meltdowns? I cried today from the SPD pain. I couldn't walk to do the school the run, even though I had told DS I would be picking him up and then felt so guilty for letting him down. He was all excited because usually Daddy does the school runs atm. Sounds daft but it's big and important when you're 6. I had to miss his swimming lesson as well so sat at home alone, crying. Pathetic huh?
Been back to college this week, all day yesturday and this morning. It was great to be back and see friends, and use my brain again! Sitting down on a hard chair all day was not a good idea though. Ouch! I am slightly panicking about the amount of work I have to do while caring for a newborn. I have a presentation due in November!
This is odd, but has anyone else had their legs go numb? Last night, for about 3 hours my legs just felt wrong. They were sort of shaky and numb and I could not sit still.
Elpis HUGE congrats! You make it sound amazing (in spite of the massive barfing issues). Enjoy your lovely newborn!!
Zara can't recommend those babybjorn bouncers enough. DS would actually sit in his for significant periods of time so I could get stuff done, like eat breakfast Anywhere else he just screamed until held.
huffle gawd what a nightmare situation I don't have a clue what on earth you can do, but really hope you get something sorted.
Kyyria glad the bleeding's tailed off, that's great news.
I'm still getting random mild contractions, but nowt exciting. I'm only 38wks after all... I want one more weekend before the twilight zone hits!! And I could use a night's sleep tonight so really hope the contractions ease off The only reason I'm still awake now is cos DS was at childminder's today, so I slept this morning. Can't do that tomorrow...
DH has insisted I come on and tell you that he just walked to not one, but TWO shops, in the dark, in search of Gavisicon, and is therefore the best husband in the world.
I think he's milking a bit.....
aw bless, wantan. So sorry the SPD has been so bad I can echo cherry's recommendation of chewing gum if desperate - it's surprisingly effective.
The key question is, did he bring you a surprise treat???
Feel weird tonight! Baby is moving lots but have strange groin pain. Sort of feel like I'm about to burst but only 38 weeks. Anyone else had this?! Didn't have it with the last- I was nearly 2 weeks over.
Loving the birth stories so far!
He brought M&Ms!
Lordy, a new thread?! Haha Part 1 of catch up!
Smorgs My DP sounds exactly like yours... "I used to watch the cows giving birth with Dad, can't be that different right?" I won't tell you what I replied but it was rather rude and not the nicest thing I've ever said in my life.
MrsC Is THAT what it is? Theres me thinking that the baby just likes my ribs but they were quite rhythmic... I was starting to wonder wether I was ever going to experience BH- maybe I am actually having them!!
Crazy YANBU. I almost wore my pjamas to work this morning, I'm starting to give up with my work trousers. I don't think I have worn normal clothing at home for weeks. Pjs and joggers all the way!!!
Squid Feels for you.. Sending big cuddles. My cousin was exactly the same, you never know, this being all over the place might be the start of it all. I won't get your hopes up though. Good on you for being able to walk 5 miles still
i am just jealous i cannot walk for more than half hour without my pelvis falling apart and rest assured that your baby will be here within the next two weeks. I know induction isn't really the ideal, but if everything in life was ideal, no-one would know how to cope with a problem.
Tell me to shut up, I think that may have been a really crappy ramble, just ignore me! And feed back my advice when I whinge at you all- I'm sure I will find it just as annoying ..
to be continued!!..
Wantan Your DH rocks - can you send him round to North London as thought I had escaped heartburn but think I could do with a spot of Gaviscon RIGHT NOW.
Just reading your post wantan (sorry, still quite new to this thread so catching up!), and I aldi have SPD so feel your pain! I didn't have it with DD- I guess everything must be a bit weaker this time! Have you had physio? I found it useful but to he honest I'm so knackered by evening that I forget to do the exercises!
Only got two weeks to go till due date and wondering how I'm going to get through. Tonight I think baby's head is turning in my groin or something as there's something odd going on down there!
Oh yes, that's what I was going to say. I've had that numb, restless and just plain weird leg thing you mention, just these past couple of nights. Like you say- they just feel wrong, like they're not my legs or something! No idea what it is.
Jealous of M and Ms! Though I do have a box of celebrations next to me oooh which first, the mini twix or mars?
FJord I hope your wrist is alright.
Wantan Your DH does indeed rock... I'm still smarting at the comment while we were DTD the other day.. "Phwoar its like climbing a mountain!".
I got my revenge and sat on him. Ha Ha Ha.
Elpis I'm so pleased for you!! congratulations :D
Ohh I am so jealous of you all finishing work.. 4 WEEKS TO GO. Although only 20 working days... so when put like that isn't too bad.
I worked a 10 hour shift today. I am so tired. My manager left me in the shit, and yet even when I made my life harder to make our deputy's life easier.. he still moaned at me about how much there was to do. I'm sorry, I haven't just run a shop with only three members of staff (when we usually have 7, including a member of "senior" management) and run and refilled the bakery since 6 O CLOCK THIS FECKING MORNING, put two deliveries away, had a new security brief which lasted AN HOUR, completed an A4 list of jobs.. Deputy came in at 1. By this point I had been there for 7 hours. Not eaten, not sat down and had a drink, oh and shall I add that I am 34 WEEKS FECKING PREGNANT TODAY?!
Sorry rant over. Feeling very still. And got to be there again in... 7 hours. My dog has proper just snuggled up to me though, and I actually feel hungry now. Poor DP made me dinner but I felt sick so I haven't eaten. Now I'm hungry. Chilli con carne and peanut butter sandwiches. Mmmmmmmomnomnomnom.
Gosh Mickey, you need to try & take it a little easier otherwise you'll end up collapsing - your employer should have some responsibilities towards pregnant ladies, please try to look after yourself if at all possible?
I woke up at 4.30 with a massive headache, it really hurts
I also was introducing my replacement to people yesterday & it basically made me feel rubbish <sulky> I think it's best I only have 6 working days left now, need to finish work & start seriously relaxing instead of stressing over leaving my very enjoyable job
Elpis huge congrats & I hope my LO comes out resembling something like a baby
rather than a gremlin which is what I've been thinking!!
Things I must do today
Go pick up my prescription for gaviscon so wantan's DH doesn't have to.
Go kick Mickeys boss for being a nobber and making her work too hard.
Try and listen to hypno cd with my rubbish birthing partner without him pissing himself laughing.
Rock backwards and forwards thinking about why I am throwing a party for DD tomorrow with 25 4-5 year olds when I am 36 weeks pregnant
That is all
He does indeed rock and has been rewarded
Lizzie this is my second pregnancy and I didn't have SPD first time either. I haven't had any physio. I'll be honest I have not suffered nearly as much as some do and found it manageable so didn't bother with the referal. Now I'm really hurting but I've only got 2 weeks left so so probably won't bother. I do to much and bring it on myself. Yesturday I spent an hour ironing, after being at college all morning, so today, DH has ordered me to sit down and not leave the house!
Fair enough, as I have LOADS of coursework to do and really should get it done before baby arrives!
Morning all! Like to say woke up positive, but alas no! Yes, there are lots of options for random cover, lots of people who need jobs. We are a v small busy practice which is run in a v controlled way by me!! Finding the right person was v hard, we also provide home visits which most wouldn't touch with a barge pole. Thus a random stranger turning up next wk to work would not only be hard on them but v hard on other staff, likely highly inefficient and piss off most of the people booked on to see them, losing us loyal patients and ultimately money, now and future. This may sound far fetched to most of you. We are not a big many staff practice where anything goes.
I am flabbergasted. I hav a few options. Most likely is that I continue to work next wk and hope she recovers fast. I need to make some calls this morning to friends who may help out. I might even hav to eat humble pie and offer temporary job to the person who didn't get the job. But she has had no intro to my odd ways or how we run. And she may tell me to go jump!!!!
Am sure something will turn up. So this was to be a cheerful busy last day, looks like a worrying complicated one.
Sorry to whinge, but god I need to. Hugs to you all, keep well, please send stay in, stay calm vibes to my bean who is due to arrive 2 weeks on Sunday and despite half hoping for it to come early, now need it to v v firmly stay putt!!!
Ciao! X
Umm should I be worried that the anaesthetist started some long rambling talk about euthanasia at my apt this morning?! Feel pretty sure he's one of these French intellectual types you likes to discuss ideas a lot, but was slightly disconcerting nonetheless. Anyway his overall attitude was nice - epidural not compulsory, although they don't allow 'walking epidurals' here now you can still sit up or on a birth chair, you can have it anytime between 2-9cm dilated and if you decide not to have it you can give birth in the water bath, yay!
Did mad rush to Ikea last night to buy cot and changing table - think I might suggest to Relate that they set up a stand on the door. That place is a nightmare for marital relations.
elpis huge congratulations! Love your description of all the sniffly sounds - I can't wait!
Oh hufflepuffle that sounds so stressful. I'm afraid I have no advice other than what others have said. I hope things work out
fjordmor huge sympathies on your fall, sounds way more dramatic than mine. Glad the bean seems ok but do get your wrist checked out. Better to do it now when you have a bit of time than find out later that you seriously hurt it and have a wriggly baby to look after.
squid hope you're feeling a bit better today. These hormones are troublesome aren't they. I can only suggest taking each day as it comes and relying on the idea that your body knows what's right for you and little squidlet so will start things moving when it's the right time. You've done so much to help it along I don't think you could have done more.
Oh huffle really hope you find someone to cover. My FIL is an optometrist, self-employed, and has found his patients very understanding when he's been away (both expectedly and unexpectedly), but I doubt that will reassure you. Fingers crossed the locum gets better quickly. Do try to look after yourself as much as poss.
squid have a big hug my lovely, you're amazing and shouldn't beat yourself up (so hard not to, but we'll keep telling you until you believe us!).
cherry main symptom of this liver thing was itchy skin - general feeling tired/grotty was indistiguishable from general 38-weeks-of-pregnancyness, but the itching was new and getting worse.
Off to the hospital this afternoon to see what the docs say and agree a plan. I'm oscillating between wanting to keep bean inside as long as possible (only 1/5th engaged so clearly not ready yet to emerge) and thinking that if it's going to be an induction, let's just get on with it so I don't fret, and don't keep itching... Will try to get the doctors to give us some relative risk information later on (the info on the internet seems fairly contradictory, seemingly not much studied).
Just checking through the hospital bags to make sure we're packed in case they do anything daft today, and then I'm going to cook up a batch of food for freezer. Lots of other things need doing but that's about all I can get my head around at the moment!
Hope the new mummies are getting to know their babies and recovering well from the births, and that the daddies are learning the ropes too. and and and love to all.
What the hell is the deal. Had best nights sleep in ages last night (only weed about six times! and now, shattered. Soooo tired.
Dishwasher and mobile have now joined washing machine in deciding to not actually work anymore. Swear to God my appliances are psychic...
huffle OW. Wish I had something useful to say... Really don't though. Best luck. Customers who k ow about your pregnancy will probably be very under standing, people are good that way. (At a east, they keep surprising me!)
Going to go read comics on the couch now.
Oh and yomping the aching fanjo of doom has struck me today too
Hello everyone,
Quite a lot to catch up on! congratulations elpis, velo angelico and Cwest ... I am getting so excited now! I hope you are all doing well and enjoying the snuggles..
Just a quick post to say I am alive and still pregnant, was admitted to hospital on Tuesday (after monitoring) for two nights for more monitoring and a "stress test" and because of relatively high levels of liver enzymes (though no actual symptoms eg itching) and because I felt reduced movement from the babe. All a bit scary and stressful but all fine now and I am out and baby seems fine (and is still in) more monitoring every two days and blood tests etc..
MrsConfusion hoping all goes well at the docs today - the itching must be terrible - hope you can get some relief.
squid thinking of you, it must be very difficult but it will pass and before you know it you'll be doing 5 mile walks in the rain with the baby in his or her sling! and all this pre-birth stress will be a distant memory.
hufflepuffle really hope you get something sorted soon but I agree with whoever said that your patients are likely to be understanding and will surely remain loyal and supportive instead of throwing toys out of the pram... Good luck though!
sorry to all the rest I haven't mentioned.. I've read you all though and send support, and !
Hi all,
Liege, that sounds scary- glad everything is ok!
Any news Huffle? Hope you're managing to keep calm- what a horrible situation to find yourself in at the moment.
Hope you're doing ok, Squid.
Had my 36 week appointment today and as everything is still fine, I'm all set to go into the lovely birth centre once I go into labour. A bit annoying that they're wanting me to book in for a sweep at 41 weeks, but I suppose it makes sense.
For anyone who is wondering about the new whooping cough etc jab which is going to be rolled out for pregnant women, I mentioned it to my midwife this morning. They hadn't heard anything about it and also found out from the BBC like the rest of us. She said she can't imagine it being available as early as next week, but worth calling towards the end of the week to find out when it might be possible. Might be available for some of us as it's up to 38 weeks.
Anyone else getting bad bump ache when they spend too long on their feet?
Hugs to you all.
Yay Elpis, hugely brilliant news! Glad it all went OK, sorry to hear about the throwing up, very kind of you to go through that so that you could help the rest of us avoid it ! Picturing you with snuffly baby and going all gooey at the thought!
Kind of relieved to have company in the aching fanjo department but sorry others have this too as it's a bit miserable!
After chatting to a couple of friends last night, turns out the weird "panicky" feelings I have been having are BH contractions so I'm not so cross with my uterus any more as it is clearly trying hard to get some practice in.
Huffle, FjordMor and MrsConfusion, sending you general sympathy for job stress, wrist pain and badly behaved liver. No-one should have to deal with this sort of shite so late in pregnancy!
Off to cafe for tea, lunch and cake, mmmm cake! Nom nom nom!
Yomping, 37, 39 weeks today, eek! And now the proud owner of a plastic jug to pour over my bits while I pee to relieve any stinging. Pregnancy... it's so glam
Hooray for the safe arrival of so many babies already Huge congratulations to all the mums, new beans, brothers, sisters and husbands involved
I have been struggling lots with lack of sleep and the general tearfulness that this brings with it (and being too busy to be able to do anything about it), but this morning managed to snooze for an extra 2.5 hours, so feeling a bit more positive now. This afternoon I will go for a stomp in the blustery fresh air and then stop procrastinating and actually pack my hospital bag.
Love and hugs to all those struggling, or who have had scares recently. huffle I really hope you manage to find a solution to your cover situation; are any of your employees willing/able to step in to the breach in the interim whilst your replacement recovers?
Take care of yourselves, beanbakers! x
On a half day at work so having a cheeseburger & fries at the greasy spoon near work before heading home - my mat cover starts on Monday, it's going to be a busy 2 weeks crossover!
Thank you elpis re the eating & epidurals!! I know I will be famished after delivery so that is another reason for me to try my very very best not to get an epidural!!
Grrr, am so sick of these crampy braxton hicks. I didn't have this last time, I just went into labour! I thought 2nd time round your body was supposed to know what it was doing better, not fanny around and keep you guessing!

Djokovic gains revenge, Nadal rallies to advance
(Reuters) - Novak Djokovic avenged his only loss of 2016 with a ruthless 6-3 6-3 victory over Feliciano Lopez as the Serbian top seed eased into the quarter-finals of the BNP Paribas Open on Wednesday.
An eye issue forced Djokovic to retire against his Spanish opponent at the Dubai Duty Free Championships last month but he had his sights set firmly on victory for their rematch in California.
The world number one needed just 66 minutes to prevail as he won 75 percent of his points on serve and broke Lopez three times.
"I have respect for his game, which definitely made me very cautious of approaching this match and made me very determined to impose my game plan from the very beginning," Djokovic told reporters.
"I was very solid. I didn't allow him to come to the net too many times. It was a good performance."
Djokovic enjoyed his best performance of the tournament to date and next meets Frenchman Jo-Wilfried Tsonga, who defeated Dominic Thiem 6-3 6-2, as the defending champion seeks an unprecedented fifth title at Indian Wells.
Earlier in the day, third seed Stan Wawrinka was sent packing in the fourth round and the Swiss was very nearly joined by Rafa Nadal, who pulled off a Houdini-like escape to reach the last eight.
Fourth seed Nadal, three times a champion at Indian Wells, rallied from 5-2 down in the final set, saving a match point on the way, before battling past 18-year-old German prospect Alexandr Zverev 6-7(8) 6-0 7-5.
The power-hitting Zverev had been bidding to become the youngest quarter-finalist at the event since 1989 and led 40-30 when serving for the match in the ninth game but his nerve deserted him at the Indian Wells Tennis Garden. Continued...

" The friendliness of the staff is better than can be rated. This was my first hostel experience and it was a very social environment. Very fun, very interesting place (esp the informative and doodling walls). I would recommend this place to anyone looking for a cheap place in split that has an excellent location for getting off the bus, train, or boat, and is close to the old town. "- sevaldez

|Clustering documentation
|Mon, 07 May 2007 12:39:02 GMT
Hi all, where I can find some additional information about JackRabbit clustering feature and configuration? I have to setup a cluster with JackRabbit deployed as a JCA resource in OC4J and I want to use database backend (oracle db 10g). How is JCA resource (rar file) deployed in a cluster environment? Indexes will be in a cluster-node shared filesystem folder? Can I use a datasource instead of OracleFileSystem/OraclePersistenceManager with Oracle DB? I'm using JackRabbit version 1.3 now, without clustering, and it works well. Sorry for the huge amount of questions! Thanks in advance. BR, Andrea - -- View this message in context: http://www.nabble.com/Clustering-documentation-tf3703496.html#a10356658 Sent from the Jackrabbit - Users mailing list archive at Nabble.com.

From The Associated Press
No-contest plea for ex-teacher
LOS LUNAS — A former Belen teacher has pleaded no contest to two counts of contributing to the delinquency of a minor after authorities say he tried to lure a 15-year-old girl into having alcoholic drinks with him.
The Albuquerque Journal reports 42-year-old Manuel G. Martinez III pleaded to the charges Tuesday.
Los Lunas police arrested Martinez last March after police used a teenage girl's phone to send text messages to Martinez.
Luna Community College criminal justice student Shannon Krause is one of 50 community college students from the United States, Canada and Guam named 2012 New Century Scholars — receiving a total of $100,000 in scholarships. The New Century Scholars Program is sponsored by The Coca-Cola Foundation, Coca-Cola Scholars Foundation, Phi Theta Kappa, and American Association of Community Colleges.
Las Vegas City Schools Interim Superintendent Sheryl McNellis-Martinez continues to receive high marks on her evaluations.
Her performance has been so impressive that board President Felix Alderete told the Optic that he, personally, would be in favor of granting McNellis-Martinez a contract to continue serving as superintendent. And this time around, he said, the board might even drop the "interim" from McNellis-Martinez's job title.
Her current contract with the district expires at the end of June.
A 19-year-old Las Vegas man was arrested over the weekend after police say he fired a shotgun into a travel trailer at an RV park on Harris Road, injuring a woman who was inside with her 2-year-old daughter and a friend.
Witness statements indicate the shooting was the result of a drug deal gone bad.
Gabriel Wezwick, whose address is listed as the 200 block of Gabe Road, is being held at the San Miguel County Detention Center in lieu of a $50,000 cash-only bond.

SANTA FE — A state legislator said Monday he plans a lawsuit challenging the candidacy of a longtime Democratic state senator, who's among a dozen candidates facing questions over the validity of their filings to get on the June primary ballot.
Secretary of State Dianna Duran said she will place the candidates, including seven legislators, on the ballot based on the advice of the Attorney General's Office. However, it appears likely that the courts will end up resolving the election year dispute.
New Mexico Highlands University employees who haven't seen a pay raise since the fall of 2009 will get bonuses next month.
Full time employees who have been with the university prior to Jan. 1 will get one-time $500 bonuses in April. Regular part-time employees will be given prorated bonuses.
Submitted to the Optic
A 144 acre prescribed burn was to have begun Tuesday on the Santa Fe National Forest, weather conditions permitting.
Fire managers plan to treat 50 to 100 acres per day within a two day period.
The name of the project is the Southwest Barbero prescribed burn. The treatment is expected to take place 12 miles south of the Rowe/Glorieta Mesa near Forest Road 124, and 12 miles south of Pecos. Treatment will be by hand ignitions.
In 1912
Tuesday, March 12 — San Miguel County residents secured good appointments at the hands of the state legislature. Manuel D. Pino was made Sergeant at Arms and Nepumoceno Duran was selected as reading clerk of the senate.

Fed gives BofA approval to up dividend to 5 cents
Updated:WASHINGTON (AP)l regulators have given Bank of America a green light to proceed with a long-awaited dividend increase it had suspended because of a reporting error.
The Federal Reserve announced Wednesday that it has accepted the revised capital plan filed by the second-largest U.S. bank. Bank of America Corp. disclosed in April that it discovered the error, on the value of securities, in a financial report it submitted to the Fed. The data in the report were used to calculate results of an annual "stress test" of the bank conducted by the Fed this year.
Under the revised plan, Bank of America will increase the dividend from a penny per share to 5 cents per share. The plan dropped a $4 billion stock buyback that the bank had proposed earlier.

Zemaille din Amassa is an Aes Sedai of the Brown Ajah.
Appearance Edit
Zemaille is one of the Atha'an Miere and is tall and slim with a dark face, straight black hair and black tattoos on her hands.
History Edit
Zemaille is 69 years old. In fact, she was born in the year 931 NE; she went to the Tower in 960 NE claiming she was eighteen. After spending ten years as novice and ten as Accepted she was raised to the shawl in the year 980 NE.
She was an Accepted in the White Tower during the Aiel War and when Gitara Moroso had her Foretelling about the Dragon Reborn. Moiraine suspects that she was, for some reason, deliberately holding back, which she was. She took care not to learn too quickly in order to avoid notice.
Strength Edit
Zemaille is described relatively weak in the One Power. This is almost confirmed by "The Wheel of Time Companion" where her strength is described at level 25(13), a high-middling level.

She has remained loyal to the White Tower during the split.
She, and the other Atha'an Miere Aes Sedai (Nyein Kalede and Aiden Shimura), all work in the White Tower Library and are the secret keepers of the Thirteenth Depository.
She is the first to greet Alviarin Freidhen, when she returns to the Tower after a month's absence. [1]

Indian FMCG major Dabur continues to expand outside its home market, this time with the acquisition of Discaria Trading, a local firm which manufactures and trades cosmetics. No financial details of the deal were disclosed.
Discaria has become a wholly-owned subsidiary of Dabur India, with the latter saying the deal will help it in the "business of manufacturing and trading of cosmetics products in South Africa". Dabur currently has no manufacturing presence in the country, although it does so in Nigeria and Egypt, which cater to the North and East African markets.
The Indian group also said the deal will be used as a platform to expand its local supply chain and for possible future acquisitions.

Overall- A Wonderful Cruise
Sail Date: May 15, 2015
Reviewed: 2 years ago
Traveled As: Couple
Room Type: Inside
I went on this with my boyfriend. We are both 29 years old so we definitely enjoyed the night life and things to do throughout the week on the cruise.
The ship wasn't too "pretty" and "glamorous" looking however, who cares - we weren't there for the looks of the ship.
Staff was amazing. I need not meet one rude person who worked there. Everyone was so friendly and so accommodating. They seemed like they actually enjoyed us being on the ship and helping us.
I think during the coral reef incident.. they could have given us 1 hour of free wifi to contact our families. we asked and they would only give us one phone call as if we were in prison... the captain was amazing and very informative while the incident was occurring.
definitely get a drink package
there was enough complimentary restaurants that were nice so we didn't feel the need to pay for dinner elsewhere.
shows were awesome
overall, a great time!

Sometimes the reaction to a new policy announcement can be as revealing as the proposal itself. And so it was with the publication last month of former education secretary David Blunkett's review into the local oversight of schools, one of the most detailed Labour policy blueprints since the last election.
The responses fell roughly into three groups. There are those, like me, who are broadly supportive but want more detail. Another group is disappointed that the historic local authority role is not reinstated in full. Then there are the coalition cheerleaders, the self-styled "heirs to Blair" in education policy, who seem affronted that someone with New Labour credentials has had the nerve to rubbish the Byzantine mess their own boss is leaving behind. And Blunkett is blunt about the extent of the mess.
This last group had to criticise, of course (there is an election looming), but their attacks were muddled and ranged from complaining that Blunkett's proposed sub-regional Independent Director of School Standards is an extra layer of bureaucracy, to crowing that local authorities were finally being eviscerated, to simply dismissing the whole thing as a sideshow that parents/voters wouldn't care about. Many parents probably don't think much about who actually ensures the smooth operation of their local schools. But they do care when things go wrong – if they can't get a place for their child, if they are not listened to, and if they can't get quick and easy redress. That is what these proposals are about.
Michael Gove is leaving such a mess behind him that a clean solution is hard to devise overnight. To understand the extent of the fragmentation and atomisation you need to go back to an article by David Wolfe QC in the Education Law Journal last year. In it the London barrister spells out the legal minefield created by thousands of schools accountable only to the Department for Education via a multitude of subtly different funding agreements, depending on how and when each school was established.
That a new order must arise from this chaos seems to me inevitable, preferably one that creates strong, collaborative local systems that embrace all schools, whether free, maintained or academy. The Blunkett proposal for a new director post appointed by one or more local authorities and responsible for intervention and brokering collaboration, possibly across borough boundaries as in the case of the hugely successful London Challenge, is more sensible than Gove's regional commissioners who are only responsible for academies and free schools, or the idea of Ofsted running both an inspectorate and a school improvement service.
Equally important is the pledge that every school should be put on the same legal footing in terms of curriculum, admissions and so on, and the fact that under the Labour plan schools will actually be built where they are needed, rather than where they are not. Open competitions will be held to choose who should run them with no presumption that any one "type" of school or provider is best. For the first time in almost a decade new schools won't have to be academies. I consider this a sea change.
The most pained reaction came from those disappointed that councils can't take over all these functions again. I have sympathy with that view. Some local authorities have successfully nurtured and maintained their families of schools against the tide of national policy, and done so more effectively than many academy chains. We shouldn't forget that. But in other parts of the country the infrastructure is disintegrating; local authorities either don't want, or haven't got the capacity, to do what is needed. Moreover, it is a basic rule of politics that going forward and creating something new is easier than going back to recreate the past.
However, now Labour must explain clearly how councils and the independent directorate will relate to each other, how the statutory duties will be divided up, how the jungle of different rules governing each academy and free school can be streamlined, and what legislation will be necessary so all this happens seamlessly.
One reason some of us opposed the Labour academy model from the start was the fear of how schools run directly by contract with the secretary of state might be used by a different party. Depending on who wins the general election, there may be worse to come, which is probably why these proposals haven't drawn forth any serious challenge. Everyone knows deep down something must be done. This review may be just a tentative first step, but it is an essential one.

Barclays Bank and NatWest Bank each have an estimated pounds 1.2bn exposure to Korea, Indonesia and Thailand, while Lloyds Bank has an pounds 800m exposure, according to an analyst's note published last week.
Stock markets have concentrated so far on the impact of the crisis on American banks and those with strong Far Eastern links, like HSBC Holdings and Standard Chartered. But Britain's high street banks are also embroiled in the region, according to John Leonard, banking analyst at Salomon Smith Barney, the US investment bank.
In recent months UK-based bank stocks have soared on the back of restructuring and consolidation within the industry. But, as stock market awareness of banks' exposure to the region increases, investors should be prepared for "Asian flu" to spread throughout the European banking sector, according to Mr Leonard.
The analyst said: "Exposure to Asia is quite broadly spread across the industry. But the degree of reaction in the market is at variance with the degree of the exposure".
Salomon Smith Barney estimate the total exposure of leading British banks to Korea and Indonesia to total $9.9bn (pounds 6bn). Mr Leonard believes banking exposure to Thailand to be roughly similar to that of Indonesia, taking British banking exposure in the three countries to almost $14bn.
To date, most European banks have failed to provide details of their exposure to troubled South-east Asia.
"Estimating the potential provision exposure of individual banks remains an art, given limited disclosure of both the total amount and the composition of outstanding credits," said Salomon Smith Barney.
The magnitude of the exposure to Korea and Indonesia alone could lead the British banks to post 1997 provisions of up to pounds 100m, according to the Salomon Smith Barney note. All the large British banks are scheduled to report 1997 profits within the coming weeks.
Bad loans are just one of a number of implications of the Far Eastern crisis for the financial health of the European banks. Banks should also be braced for a sharp downturn in profitability in their Far Eastern investment and wholesale banking activities.
Salomon Smith Barney said: "There is little question that securities market volumes and fees from this region will decline sharply in 1998; managing costs down as rapidly seems impossible."
A handful of leading banks - mostly in the US - have admitted the Asian crisis has hit investment banking profits. These include Chase Manhattan, which made a trading loss of $160m (pounds 94m) in October because of volatility in the emerging markets.
A wave of consolidation helped European bank shares to outperform the market for much of 1997 and to number among brokers' top tips for 1998.
But prospects for the banking sector began to sour last week as Moody's, the influential US credit ratings agency, announced it could downgrade a number of European banks because of their exposure to South-east Asia.
With the exception of HSBC and Standard Chartered, which both have strong links to the troubled region, British bank shares have so far emerged relatively unscathed.
Provisions for the Asian crisis should be able to be contained easily within the current earnings of European banks. Barclays made a profit of over pounds 2bn in 1996. NatWest earned more than pounds 1bn in profit.

Practical Spirituality for a Modern Life
Dear Fellow Travelers on the Path.
2017 is here and with it, over the last few weeks, time to reflect on the events of last year.
How quickly it seemed to go, and how quickly we are thrust into what is shaping up to be a fulfilling year on all levels in our life, if we take time to plan it so.
This year in our Unity planning we have decided to study the Unity "12 Powers," over the months they are allocated in the Unity Teachings.
These are available in the book "The Twelve Powers of Man" by Charles Fillmore.
January is traditionally the month allocated to FAITH.
"Faith is a Spiritual faculty" Charles Fillmore writes, "It is not necessary that the one who touches the button of faith shall understand all the intricate machinery with which he makes contact. They know, like the one who turns the electric switch, that light will spring forth."
Fillmore goes on to say "merely affirming the activity of this superpower will quicken it in consciousness. He also mentions that metaphysically, the Disciple Peter represents Faith, and that the Faith Centre in our body is the Pineal Gland, which opens the mind of man to Spiritual Faith.
The Metaphysical Bible Dictionary is a great source of wisdom for further information on this.
Eric Butterworth writes "Faith is really your consent to let your own uniqueness unfold, and let that which is attracted by your own uniqueness manifest in your life. So when Jesus said "all things are possible to those that believe, he did not say that a swan could be a duck, or that a non musical person could be a concert pianist. You cannot become something that is not the out forming of your own inner potential. You can only be you - however yo can unfold more of the you that may have been long frustrated."
There are other definitions of Faith. The easiest to grasp (for me) is perhaps from a Unity Children's book THE SIMPLE TRUTH by Mary-Alice and Richard Jafolla. "Faith is acting upon what we really believe - whatever we really believe in, we will act upon.We have faith in it.
Finally, why not believe that when we learn to have Faith in ourselves, we are learning to have Faith in the very wisdom that created us.
