About half of moms-to-be have swollen, red, tender gums that bleed when flossed or brushed. The cause is a mild form of gum disease known as pregnancy gingivitis. Your gums are more likely to become inflamed during pregnancy in part because of hormonal changes that make them more sensitive to the bacteria in plaque.
You may also develop a benign nodule on your gums that bleeds when you brush. This relatively rare nodule is called a pregnancy tumor or pyogenic granuloma – scary names for something that's harmless and usually painless. Pregnancy tumors can actually pop up anywhere on your body during pregnancy, but they show up most often in the mouth.
A pregnancy tumor can grow to up to three-quarters of an inch in size and is more likely to appear in an area where you have gingivitis. Typically, it disappears after you have your baby, but if it doesn't, you'll need to have it removed. If it causes discomfort, interferes with chewing or brushing, or starts to bleed excessively, you can have it removed while you're pregnant.
This mild form of gum disease is unlikely to cause you any harm, especially if you practice good dental hygiene. You may have heard that gum disease can cause you to go into preterm labor. But that's only a potential risk for women with severe gum disease.
Many studies show a link between severe gum disease and preterm birth and low birth weight. And some research suggests an association with preeclampsia, too. However, other studies show no relationship between gum disease and these serious complications.
Practice good oral hygiene and get regular preventive dental care.
In addition to regular checkups, schedule a dental appointment right away if you have any of the following:

yes, my boat
Posted by: Peter-CA on Feb-03-14 12:34 AM (EST)
Yes, the red and orange boat is mine. But that doesn't make me an expert on the process, just on scratching boats...
Truthfully, unless the scratch is so deep you can see the other side, or if it left an avulsion of plastic that may catch water, I just leave it. if an avulsion, I may try to melt it back, or just cut it off.

Here we do not give indian holidays, we give employees US holidays...
So in this case is it still mandatory to give the employees, US holidays + indian holidays?
Best Regards,
fahdkhan - Member Since: Jan 2007
Hi Dsouza,
That depends from company to company, some companies give indian holidays and some give holidays according to usa, but that also depends on the employment contract signed between an enmployee and employer, it mentions whether usa or indian holidays will be given.

Edutain yourself...I did!
This first week in Dakar has been a whirlwind orientation about all of
's work. I thought I knew what type of work they did (
abandonment of Female Genital Cutting
, (FGC)), but I quickly discovered that is only one small part of it. Tostan is easily pigeonholed as having this
single issue
focus (because they are extraordinarily successful at it), when in reality their success in changing the cultural psychology surrounding this social norm, towards the
abandonment of harmful social practices
, is only one result of their commitment to ground-up community empowerment, where the communities themselves direct their evolution.
The past three days of orientation were at the
Center for Capacity Building and Sustainable Development
in Thiès, the national headquarters 40 miles outside of Dakar, the international headquarters where I work with the communications team. Today we drove out to a village that completed Tostan's education program, and a second program that reinforces better parental practices. When we arrived there was a huge group of people waiting, playing make-shift drums on an overturned stainless steel bowl and 10 gallon plastic tubs. Individually the rhythms the three drummers were playing seemed sparse and erratic, but together they swirled into the classic sabar sound.
The gathering was organized specifically for the four of us so that the community of Keur Thiam Sawaré could share and boast about the changes in their community since the Tostan program, and their plans to continue self-sustaining development projects so that we, the new volunteers could see how the programs actually function in the field. Needless to say it was inspiring. I even got to address the gathered crowd after their presentation around a board, with chairs assembled in the sand, entirely in wolof, which was really just two sentences but they got a kick out of it:
Man itam, am naa yaakar yi. Bëgg naa gis Keur Thiam Sawaré jël nañu seen futur bi
. (I as well have a hope. I want to see Keur Thiam Sawaré take their future). I learned the word
that day from one of their songs. The beauty in Tostan's model is that communities direct how they learn: song, dance, formal classroom, group discussion...the main goal is delivering information communities want to know in a way that they want to learn. Tostan's projects are not directive. Tostan reacts to goals defined by individual communities (who work in broad networks across regions) and
access and logistics to getting information. Each community who chooses to collaborate with Tostan works with a trained facilitator and elects a group to manage community projects.
Some of the other amazing programs that get overshadowed by the increasingly successful abandonment of FGC project includes:
working in prisons
to reintegrate released detainees into their communities as productive members of their social networks;
reinforcement of parental practices
; a
child protection
project that in part works with
Islamic religious leaders
and the Senegalese government to restructure, and support koranic schools, a foundation of Senegalese culture, in order to protect young children from forced begging and poor living conditions; using
mobile phones to teach literacy
; and teaching project management and economics through a
microcredit system
that fosters self-sustaining small businesses in rural communities. It's amazing how thorough their programs are and how desired and well-accepted they are in communities.
It is too easy for me to take for granted that we learn things like family planning and sex education starting in grade school, and we become mathematically literate early on, preparing us for skills like budgeting and project management, even at a basic level. The public sector in much of West Africa is unable to provide resources to achieve these skills, which is where many NGOs, including Tostan, and private funding play a huge role. They enable communities to achieve their own success by empowering them with tools to manage their success, and
communities through their efforts to achieve good health, community governance, and income generating projects.
Next week I will start working in the office in Dakar. My role with Tostan is exactly what I was hoping it to be: animating existing educational pamphlets used in the program in order to reinforce education modules; illustrating "best practices" regarding other topics that encourage stronger brain development in children, and producing graphics for social media that highlight their work beyond FGC. We'll be developing projects that are similar but different to
, which they call
(a word I don't particularly like, but accept as field-specific jargon).
Here is one graphic I previously produced for Tostan for the International Day for the Abandonment of FGC:
And happily, in order to get artistic material, sound, ideas, etc, I'll be able to travel a lot to other regions and into rural communities, which is where I like to be. Then I'll be able to go back to Dakar after a few days or a week to work on projects and enjoy conveniences I never knew Dakar could offer when I was here previously, like sushi and delivery pizza.
Also, it's fun to be on email lists with some of the
in development theory and "
social norm
" theory, whose work I've been reading over the last few years, and to have them support my specific arts-based project within Tostan.
Oh yes, and it's mango season, which means it's my favorite season. If you're in need of good mango music,

Diop Percu
In 2006 I was awarded a travel grant through
Fairhaven College
. Months later I was sitting at a bar in Dakar, listening to Orchestra Baobab and fretting about how intense the city was for a 22 year old kid on his first international travel experience. While making up my mind to leave the city, then stranger Bara approached me declaring, "you don't speak French, do you?" No, not really, and I definitely didn't speak any Wolof yet. We chatted for a bit and he offered, "before you leave come by my uncle's house". He told me that his family are bunch of musicians and I might like at least seeing their house and talking to them. The next day I hopped out of a taxi, met Bara out front, and then I spent every day for 6 months with the Diop family building drums, repairing drums, playing drums, drinking tea, eating rice, etc.
The family has a long history of drumming in Dakar and their many brothers have been members of the National Band of Senegal, a few emigrated to Europe and the US. After some time I moved on and traveled to Mali, returned to the US and eight years passed with zero contact with the Diop family-- I had no phone numbers and they didn't use email. Two years ago I moved to San Francisco in order to piece together a public health education animation project, which eventually connected me to an
amazing NGO
working in 6 West African countries and Somalia.
In preparation to return to Dakar over the last few weeks I was thinking about all my past experiences and wondered how I could find the family, since I didn't have a clear recollection of which neighborhood they lived in the city, and like I said, no phone numbers. I remembered however, where in Dakar their cousins lived, who performed under the group name
Sing Sing Rhythm
. (The oldest neighborhood in Dakar is Medina...easy enough to remember). I figured I'd go to them and ask how to track down the Diop family.
Then, a few weeks ago I decided to search the internet for Sing Sing, but instead actually found a website for the
Diop family
. The brother with whom I was closest,
, actually had a San Francisco number listed on the site. I called the number but it was wrong. I emailed but got no response. Finally, on midnight of my last night in SF, hours before I was to board a plane to leave, Djamil called me, gave me his address and we were able to reconnect after eight years without any contact. How nuts is that? I have no idea why over 8 years I never even considered a simple internet search to find them, especially given my interest in digital technology and its applications in community development (and my infatuation with
Marshal McLuhan
's genius regarding digital technology and the
Global Village
Reconnecting with Djamil after such a long time was amazing enough, but even more incredible to me is that his wife Lisa (who we determined met Djamil a few months after I left in 2006) previously worked for the same NGO with whom I'll be working in a matter of days!
I've got phone numbers and an address and look forward to seeing all these little kids who I imagine aren't so little anymore.

Too long gone post
I need to set a schedule. Here are some more watercolors. This first one is the beginnings of a public health education project I'm working on in Senegal. The standing girl is excitedly exclaiming to her friend: "And then the message jumps across a synapse!" But in this case I translated it into Wolof.
A group in Senegal
teaches communities about early child development, including
brain development
. I used Photoshop to crop in their skirts...
...because I really like the style of the world
Lauren Child
creates for her characters
Charlie and Lola
and very briefly experimented with pasting in photo textures. Child uses photos of wood textures amongst scribbled drawings, as one example, for a really cool look. Her book series was adapted directly to an
animated series
that pretty is fun to watch.
Anyway...here are some Amazonians:
A bowl-o-rama:
And Wendy's frosties. These yellow cups are no longer used though, so I actually drew a coffee cup and had to look up the Wendy's logo. Too bad I spelled burgers wrong:
I also visited Kim Zick, with whom I studied jazz drumming for many years. Her cat Zoila likes to crawl between the blanket and Kim's bass drum as she plays, or
even crawl all over the drums
. Check their band,
Mrs. Fun

I would try power cycling (shut down, wait 20-30 seconds, turn on) your router, and setting your ip/dns settings to automatic. Also, if you have the problem in firefox, try running Internet Explorer (No Add Ons).
To find IE (No Add-ons):

Students in USD 259 Wichita will not be in class Friday, due to the winter storm. District administrators made the decision to cancel classes Thursday afternoon.
On its website, a statement said, "the cancelation was determined by three factors: the projected weather activity through the remainder of today; the dangerous conditions of side streets, sidewalks and bus stops; and the ability to clear lots and sidewalks safely by the start of school."
Only Varsity basketball games will proceed Friday night, as rescheduled, and wrestling and bowling activities will continue with schedule modifications.
School-based staff should not report to work. The following personnel should report by 9 a.m.: All District Leadership Team members, division directors, executive directors, directors and SSC-based custodial office personnel and security and dispatch personnel.

with Colton Dixon and Josh Wilson
Very eventful day in Johnstown, PA. Most of the guys went out for the obligatory weekend Lobsterfest excursion. I hung back at the venue for a little jog. We got a little excite about the possibility of adding a snippet of When the Levee Breaks as a little Led Zep tip of the hat at the end of The Victory. We worked it up in soundcheck and were feeling really great about it. Sometimes just having one little fresh moment can really liven up the show for us. Tonight, we were able to welcome Lacy Srum, formerly of Flyleaf, to the stage. Lacey sang on Born Again and Run to You on the Revelation album. We've never been able to sing the songs live with her though. Tonight, she made the trip over, and it was really cool to get to hang with her, her husband, and her son Jack. It reminded me of how much more difficult in can be for females than males in the music business where having a family often involves really tough choices. It makes me appreciate my wife who does such a great job single parenting when I'm on the road to allow me to do this. There was a great crowd tonight, and the show went really well. We heard great compliments about the sound from some of our most diehard fans. ~Tai

Meshuggah Invade and Crush New York City with Baroness + Decapitated
A devastating earthquake hit New York City last night. It affected somewhere between 2000-3000 people by a fault line created underneath 56th St. and 11th Ave at the Terminal 5 concert venue. Geologists believe that the earthquake was caused by sonic brutality unleashed by Meshuggah at their May 23 concert date. All concertgoers survived, but none will be the same.
Meshuggah Enter Death Match Hall of Fame
After an incredible string of victories and massive support from their rabid fans, Meshuggah's 'Break Those Bones Whose Sinews Gave It Motion' blasted through its competition with four straight victories -- thus earning a spot in Loudwire's Death Match Hall of Fame.
Meshuggah Bring Intensity in 'Break the Bones Whose Sinews Gave it Motion' Video
Meshuggah's video for 'Break the Bones Whose Sinews Gave it Motion' is a six-minute performance clip, shot in black and white. While on the surface, that might seem like a snoozefest, remember, this is Meshuggah we're talking about. The band could cause the earth's plates to shift, thanks to the force of the metal they make.
Meshuggah vs. Cannibal Corpse – Death Match
Meshuggah just claimed their third consecutive win in our Death Match by stomping out their latest competition, Deicide. The Swedish extreme metal legends are just one win away from having their track 'Break Those Bones Whose Sinews Gave It Motion' declared as immortal in our Death Match Hall of Fame.
Meshuggah vs. Deicide – Death Match
In an incredibly close battle to the death, Swedish extreme metal masters Meshuggah were successful in defeating their Nuclear Blast labelmates All Shall Perish. This marks Meshuggah's second victory in a row, with only two more victories to go until their track 'Break Those Bones Whose Sinews Gave It Motion' is inducted into the Death Match Hall of Fame.

After a hard-fought battle and a massive come-from-behind victory, Swedish extreme metal legends Meshuggah beat out Napalm Death in last week's Death Match. The band is just three wins away from being inducted into the Death Match Hall of Fame, but this week Meshuggah's Nuclear Blast labelmates All Shall Perish may be the ones to step in their way.
Napalm Death vs. Meshuggah – Death Match
The Devil Wears Prada just claimed their fourth and final victory against the Black Dahlia Murder, becoming the first band in the history of Death Match to be inducted into the Death Match Hall of Fame. The group's single 'Born to Lose' has been declared immortal, and thus the Death Match must continue with two new tracks.

A grand jury has indicted the Bronx teen accused of fatally stabbing his classmate on manslaughter charges.
Fourteen-year-old Noel Estevez was originally charged with second-degree murder, which would have meant he'd be tried as an adult in criminal court.
With the new charge, the case will now be moved to family court.
Estevez is accused of stabbing classmate Timothy Crump to death during an argument outside I.S. 117 in Morris Heights on June 18.
His first family court hearing is scheduled for Tuesday.

Travelling with a cake
- d
- Detroit Slim Dec 20, 2006 05:54 PM
I want to bring a cake to a Christmas Dinner, but there's a 5 hour road trip between my kitchen and the dinner table.
I'd also love to make the cake in advance (today even, or possibly tomorrow), just to have it done and out of the way.
If it's just a basic layer cake, how feasible is it to pull it out of the oven, let the halves cool, put them back in the cake pans & cover with plastic wrap? Is there a better way to pre-make a cake and keep it fresh for a few days?
I actually find if I put the icing on it, it lasts longer...it kind of seals it. The problem though for you would be transporting a cake that has icing on it. You could try freezing the cake for a few days. I have never tried it, but I know others that have and it would probably dethaw on the 5 hour car trip.
I would do as you suggested , but I would recommend that you line the cake pan bottoms with parchment rounds cut from a roll. You can refrigerate the cakes if you wrap the in saran and then zip-bag them.
Butter cakes are quite durable and travel very well.
I've cooled them and then put them back in the pan, as Kelli suggest, to transport. If there's refrigerator space there, frost it when you get there and keep in the refrigerator (like some bakeries do). Also, in transporting cakes, the non-skid mats work wonders in preventing it from sliding. I learned my lesson when my husband decided to put one layer of a frosted cake on the car seat and it went flying--good thing I wasn't there.
freezing a cake and then thawing it actually makes it way easier to ice for some reason, we always bake the cakes, let them cool, and then wrap in wax paper and put in a tin with the lid on tight, and freeze. a few days later we take them out, thaw, and ice. i think it makes the crumbs stick together more or something.
If you make the chocolate pound cake I have posted on this board in the past, it will last for a week well wrapped. It is very dense and will travel well. Serve it up with either a ganache glaze applied on site, whipped cream or just dusted with powdered sugar. The aroma while baking will drive you crazy.
re: Candy
I can confirm all of Candy's points! I recently made her chocolate pound cake on a Sunday for my SO's birthday and shipped it to him on Monday, priority, with instructions to open and eat immediately... he didn't open it until Friday and shared with friends... I was a little worried about how it must have tasted, given the 600 mile journey and sitting in a cardboard box for five days, but when I recently went down to visit, everyone spontaneously complimented me on the cake. It's a winner! And didn't fall apart in the mail system, so I think the car ride will be fine.
Thanks for the advice! I'm making a red velvet cake, and will probably try putting the cakes back in the pans & freezing. If I do the cake tonight or tomorrow night, then freeze, it might make it to dinner on Sunday night & should have plenty of time to thaw out gently in the cake pans on the 5 hours drive.
On Sunday, I'll know for sure if freezing a cake makes it easier to frost!
re: Detroit Slim
I read hints that frozen cakes are easier to frost (prevents crumbs) but I've also read that if you frost frozen cakes, it'll hold the moisture against the cake and make them slightly soggy and that when the cake expands, it could crack the frosting. I thought, at first, that you were traveling soon but your plan sounds great. By the time you get there, the cake will be defrosted and you can frost it then. Let us know how it goes!
re: Detroit Slim
Last year for the holiday we traveled with my red velvet cake from NY to Virginia. I baked it and iced it (cream cheese icing) the day before. I bought a cake box and put it in with extra support (balled up foil) around the cake rounds which I bought a little extra big (10" size for a 9" pan three layer red velvet). I was terrified the cake would slide or layers would slide but I wedged the box in well in the hatch area and it made it just fine. It was winter and kept fine. Got to Virginia - put it in the fridge and it was perfect.
not sure about that one regarding advance/freezing, but if you want another option...
I made the Paula Deen coconut cake & traveled with it. Turned out great, traveled great, and best if made in advance (without freezing)
I have layers of red velvet in my freezer now for Christmas also. Although I'm not travelling with it, I'll wait until Sunday to frost it using simple syrup on the cake layers to seal in the flavor and moisture. Merry Christmas!
Flipss -
What do you mean by using simple syrup on the cake layers... Are you using it before you freeze the layers? Or after you thaw them and before you frost them?
I'm pretty sure you're talking about using a simple syrup before frosting, but for some reason I'm feeling a bit daft today.
re: Detroit Slim
Hi Detroit Slim,
No need to thaw out layers before frosting, it's actually more manageable to frost a frozen layer (won't crack or break).It's a common practice in a lot of bakeries to brush cake layers with simple syrup as part of the frosting procedure.Your red velvet
will be smooth, moist and velvety...
You are planning to wrap the layers in saran BEFORE you put them back in the pans, right? I think they would be a lot more air-tight that way + no risk of sticking to the pans.
Or just wrap the layers individually, stack up on a cardboard cake round, then wrap the entire thing in foil. Cushion (and insulate )it with clothing in your suitcase. Put icing in a ziplock bag, and assemble the whole thing at your destination. Pack your offset spatula! I've done this a couple of times as my husband's birthday coincides w/ a family beach trip sometimes.
I highly recommend using a large cookie tin to store and transport. Turn it upside down and use it like a cake dome (the lid as the base). Line the lid with a cake circle or doily and use some icing to glue the cake, and the circle to the lid.
Split the layers (so that you have four) and trim the smooth tops. The exposed crumb will give added friction/absorbency and the cake wil stick together better. Frost between the layers to glue them together, and then the entire cake liberally with an icing that sets up well. Nuts can also protect the icing's surface without color bleed (like sprinkles). Keep it in a cool place, and it will be good to go .
I've been making carrot layer cakes recently and I've found studding the frosting with chopped walnuts (mostly because I like the taste/texture with the butter/cream cheese frosting), allows me to wrap the frosted cake in plastic wrap and not 'smudge' the frosting. May not be helpful on your 5 hour drive, though.
re: MobyRichard
love carrot cake...
do you have a recipe you'd be willing to share? :)
