Health Information
Pelvic Examination
How It Is Done
During a pelvic exam, you will:
- Take off your clothes below the waist. You will have a paper or cloth covering around your waist. If you are having a yearly exam, you may need to undress completely so your health professional can also do a breast exam.
- Lie on your back on an exam table with your feet raised and supported by stirrups. This allows the health professional to examine your Reference vulva Opens New Window, Reference urethra Opens New Window, vagina, and other reproductive organs. You may want to wear socks to keep your feet warm while they are in the stirrups.
- Have a drape across your body for privacy during the test. The health professional may use a lamp during the test, and you can ask for a mirror if you want to watch while the test is being done.
A female nurse or assistant may stay in the room with you during the exam. You may also request the presence of your partner or a friend.
External exam
During the external exam, the health professional will:
- Check your vulva and the opening of your vagina for signs of redness, irritation, discharge, Reference cysts Opens New Window, Reference genital warts Opens New Window, and other abnormal conditions.
- Check inside your vagina with his or her gloved fingers for any cysts or pus coming from the Reference Bartholin glands Opens New Window.
- Gently insert the Reference speculum into your vagina Opens New Window Reference Opens New Window. The speculum spreads apart the vaginal walls, allowing the inside of the vagina and the cervix to be examined. The speculum may be plastic or metal and may be warmed with water or lubricated with a vaginal lubricant (such as K-Y Jelly).
- Check the walls of your vagina and your cervix for damage, growths, inflammation, unusual discharge, or discoloration.
If you are due for a Pap test, your health professional will use a small brush or a wooden spatula to gently collect a sample of cervical cells. You may have some staining or bleeding after the sample is taken. A sample of the cervical mucus may also be obtained with a cotton swab and tested for sexually transmitted infections such as gonorrhea or chlamydia.
Bimanual exam
This exam is usually done as part of a pelvic exam. Your health professional will insert one or two gloved fingers of one hand into your vagina while placing the other hand on your lower abdomen. By pressing down on the abdomen and moving the fingers around inside your vagina, your health professional can locate and determine the size, shape, and consistency of the uterus and ovaries. Any unusual growths, tenderness, or pain can also be identified.
Rectovaginal exam
For this exam, your health professional will insert one finger into your Reference rectum Opens New Window and one into your vagina. This helps your health professional evaluate your ovaries and uterus ligaments. This exam is not always done as part of a pelvic exam.
The entire pelvic exam takes about 10 minutes. After the exam is finished, you will be given a washcloth or tissue to wipe your vaginal area to remove any discharge resulting from the exam, and you will then dress. Some test results may be available immediately, but results from the Pap test may take from several days to a couple of weeks.

http://www.pbs.org/wgbh/pages/frontline ... /csis.html this is kind old though, from 1997, but still the figures are pretty much the same, around 60.
"Other countries with a known and active ROC presence include Germany, with 47 groups; and Italy, with 60 groups. The MVD estimates that over 100 ROC groups are active in at least 50 countries."
There are over 8,000 ROC groups in the world yet only 100 are active anywhere outside of Russia???
As for Johnny's tantrums on how tough Albanians are and how big Albanian OC is, I'll give it to him, Albanians are friggin terroristic motherfuckers that love to blow shit up, kill people, get hated by everyone sane and just bad motherfuckers that should be either exterminated or put in jail, Albanian OC is a friggin plague amongst our nation that should be ridden of, but in his words, it can't, so thus, it shall remain here until this nation falls apart, because there being no Macedonian OC and only Albanian OC is good for business.

3-5... Not the start I was looking for. Got blown out twice (once by the hawks, sheesh) AMD lost the other 3 by a combined 6 points. Shareef needs to step it up.

Team went 3-3. Lost against the T-Wolves, Bulls and Sixers which are some of the better teams but beat the Spurs, Rockets(again lol) and blew out the Sonics. Pretty tough first few games. Kenyon Martin is stepping up. Francis is keeping those turn overs down but now I have to figure out this C/PF rotation to say the least lol

I hate the Blazers.

Brad Miller - Samaki Walker - Mickael Pietrus - Aaron McKie - Shaun Livingston
My rebounding is insane right now. I'm averaging 61 rebounds per game O_O
3-2 isn't bad considering who I had to play. Defense is amazing. Offense has been subpar. The team will shoot better than 39% and Vince will shoot better than 14% from 3 as the season goes on. I'm optimistic right now.
Terrell Brandon | Vince Carter | Keith Van Horn| Theo Ratliff | Zydrunas Ilgauskas
2003-2004 | 46-36 | 4th in the Pacific Division |5th in the Western Conference
Perimeter shooting seems to be the weakness right now, but still, you will be a Western conference contender.
My frontcourt and bench have been average this season. Hopefully guys step up because Carmelo, Manu, and Mighty Mouse have been outstanding. Heck, my team went 3-0 without Etan Thomas. Greek Shaq played ok in his place.
Defense improved, without Baron I thought we would be worser, but at best as good as we was last year. I know its still early in the season, so I'm not getting my hopes up. But to bad I'm being a "bad GM" right now. I'm trying guys, and I'm doing what III think is good for MY team, so please see how things play out first.
Also it seems everyone team is better this season, even though some teams are playing bad I doubt it continues because they all are goo teams.
My team is off to a good start. If Redd goes back to performing like he did last year, I think I can go all the way. Lebron is already one of the most complete players in the league
1-3 man i hope it gets better

Villanova wins seventh straight by stopping South Florida
TAMPA, Fla. (AP) — Mouphtaou Yarou scored 16 points and JayVaughn Pinkston had 15 as Villanova beat South Florida 61-53 on Wednesday night.
Daniel Ochefu added 12 points for Villanova (11-4, 2-0 Big East), which has won seven in a row.
"I think that was probably the best game we've played this year," Villanova coach Jay Wright said. "That was our best defensive effort, and Mouphtaou Yarou was amazing. He just played with great energy. I thought Daniel Ochefu, the two of them, just started the game and set the tone. That was good for us. They're a dangerous team."
Yarou also had a season-high 13 rebounds.
"My job is to rebound the ball, so that's what I was trying to do," Yarou said. "I wasn't trying to score. I was trying to lead my team, do the right thing."
South Florida (9-5, 0-2) got 12 points from Victor Rudd. The Bulls had won the four previous games between the programs, including all three last season.
"The energy of the team for 40 minutes was not there, and I'm not used to that with our basketball team," South Florida coach Stan Heath said. "It hasn't been that way in a long time, and it's something that I really don't accept. I won't tolerate it, so it's something that we'll have to talk about and fix right away."
Ryan Arcidiacono, the Big East Rookie of the Week, gave Villanova a 46-32 lead on his first basket of the game, a 3-pointer, midway through the second half. The freshman, averaging 13 points, finished with five points.
Pinkston's layup made it 48-32 one minute after Arcidiacono's basket.
Rudd connected on a 3 to cut the South Florida deficit to 49-41 with 7 minutes remaining. Villanova quickly responded on baskets by Yarou and Ochefu to make it 53-41 Continued...
After trailing by 18 early in the second half, South Florida got within 42-30 on a pair of free throws by Rudd with 13 minutes to play. It was the first bucket of the game for Rudd, who entered averaging a team-best 11.5 points.
South Florida point guard Anthony Collins had 11 points.
Ochefu had 10 points as Villanova grabbed a 34-20 halftime lead.
The Wildcats took a 29-14 advantage 2 minutes before intermission on a long-range jumper by Achraf Yacoubou. Two free throws by Yarou extended the Villanova lead to 34-17.
Darrun Hilliard made a 3-pointer and Pinkston had a put-back basket to put Villanova up 13-6 with 13 minutes left in the opening half.
"The game was really decided the first seven minutes when they set the tone with the inside play," Heath said.
Villanova outscored the Bulls 30-14 in the paint.
Charlotte 74, La Salle 65
CHARLOTTE, N.C. — Pierria Henry scored 20 points to lead Charlotte past La Salle 74-65 Wednesday night in the Atlantic 10 opener for both teams.
Victor E. Nickerson added 13 points, Darion Clark had 12 and DeMario Mayfield scored 10 for Charlotte (13-2). Continued...
Ahead 7-4 at the 16:06 mark in the first half, Charlotte ended the half on a 29-10 run.
Charlotte shot 46.4 percent (13 for 28) in the first half and held La Salle to 21.9 percent (7 for 32) shooting in the period to take a 33-17 lead into halftime.
Paced by Ramon Galloway's 17 points in the second half, La Salle cut the lead to single digits late, but Charlotte shot 50 percent (12 for 24) for the second half and knocked down 17 free throws in the period to seal the victory.
Galloway finished with game-highs of 23 points and nine rebounds to lead the Explorers (10-4).

Mitt Romney said something yesterday about President Obama "playing politics" with the issue of immigration — which suggests that Romney is either stupid or thinks you are.
Yes, Obama is playing politics with immigration. Like all presidents, he's a politician. That's what politicians do. They play politics.
Presidents also are "always campaigning" (which is another complaint Republicans frequently aim at Obama). Most of any American president's public appearances and public utterances amount to campaigning for his administrations' policies or his own electoral fortunes or those of his political party.

The player has one chance to catch it and the incident triggers the battle against Team Rocket in the Team Rocket HQ in Mahogany Town. When captured or defeated, the red Gyarados drops a Red Scale. While this is the only chance to catch the Red Gyarados in the original games, it will respawn in the remakes after the player defeats Lance and the Elite Four, should the player fail to capture it.

Sheltering the wild
Sponsored by Bogota's Ministry of Environment, this Colombian shelter receives between 3,000 and 3,500 wild animals a year; some seized from poachers and others found hurt. An estimated $560,000 U.S. dollars are spent in the recovery and care of these animals. Seventy percent of rescued animals are reintroduced to their habitat and the remaining 30% are sent to zoos around the country.

Duke Frat Party Ignites Criticism And Racial Tension On Campus
By Shawn Wen
The Kappa Sigma fraternity at Duke University has received a huge backlash for throwing an Asian-themed party. Photos surfaced on Facebook of partiers dressed as geishas and sumo wrestlers. The same images were used by student activists to create flyers protesting the event.
More than 250 students showed up to demonstrate against Kappa Sigma's party. Host Frank Stasio is joined by Ashley Tsai, a senior at Duke University, and Eileen Chow, a visiting professor of Asian studies at Duke University, to discuss the protests against what has been called the "racist rager."

Since leap year only comes around once every four years, there has to be some sort of special rule for that day, right? Well there is… for women. February 29 is said to be the only day that it is appropriate for a woman to propose to a man.
According to an article on mentalfloss.com, this legend dates back to 5th century Ireland. It is said that St. Bridget of Ireland was frustrated that she had to wait around for a proposal, which may never even come at all. So she complained to St. Patrick who ultimately decided that women could be allowed to propose to a man only once every four years on leap day. This became known as "The Ladies' Privilege."
So would you propose to your man, whether on leap day or any other day? If so, how would you stage your perfect NJ engagement? You'd be surprised by some of the women who have proposed to their man.
Some famous women in the past and present are known to have been the person who proposed. In 1839 Queen Victoria proposed to Albert by summoning him to her room and asking him to if he would consent to what she wished for (marriage). Recently, celebrities such as Halle Berry, Pink, and Jennifer Hudson are known to have proposed to their husbands.
So do men want to be proposed to? According to the article, only 56% of men in a relationship would say yes to a proposal if asked today. Make sure if you are proposing that your man is in that 56%. Good luck ladies! If he says yes check out our Central NJ wedding venues.

From the Chair
Lehman College's Department of English offers undergraduates a major with four distinct areas of specialization: Literature, Creative Writing, Professional Writing, and Early Childhood Education. In addition, the Department provides a parallel set of choices for a minor as well as many courses every semester for those students seeking a pleasurable introduction to literature written in English and for those wishing to fulfill distribution requirements. There are, in addition, two graduate programs, both containing concentrations in Literature or Composition Studies, leading to an M.A. in English. Whatever your preferences, Departmental advisers are available to help students choose the program most appropriate for them.

Dr. Mario DiGangi receives 2012 Lehman College Distinguished Scholarship Award
Since joining the English Department in 1998, Mario DiGangi has
published two monographs and over a dozen articles, and has edited
editions of three Shakespeare plays (The Winter's Tale, Romeo and Juliet, and A Midsummer Night's Dream).
He has remained at the forefront of the ever-changing world of
Shakespeare scholarship, while at the same time broadening his
perspective to include questions of queer theory and class distinctions,
and extending his chronological range into the mid-seventeenth century.
These strengths are all evident in the book he published in 2011, Sexual Types,
which examines six different character types as they appear in early
modern English drama: the sodomite, the lesbian, the narcissistic
courtier, the citizen wife, the bawd, and the court favorite.

Major Vic Timm,
Avesnes le Comte
21st January 1917
Dear Marcus,
I do hope you are well and enjoyed Christmas and New Year. The aged parents sent me a letter very recently hoping that I was well and telling me that finally we'd had some sort of reunion of both the Timms and the Simmonds families; I do very much wish I'd been there to participate. I only vaguely remember Uncle Max and Aunt Amilie from when we were down in Sussex in the 90's so I'm sure that it was a fascinating time. Please tell me everything you can about what happened the parents were full of high spirits but terribly short on detail, which was what was required. For example: what is Edward doing now? He must be my age, and, surely, serving? What of Rebecca and Elisabeth? They must be grown now and perhaps with their own families. Damn it all I wish I could have been there; it would be so much better than rotting away in the rain, sleet, snow and misery here.
Our Christmas, you'll be unsurprised to learn, was a fairly quiet affair, with the slight fillip that we didn't actually fly at all after the 21st December until the 2nd January. Hence, whilst you might not have discerned any particular goodwill to all men at No. 12, there was a certain heartfelt thanks emanating like an imponderable little wisp from all of us, thankful that the weather closed in. The Huns, I'm happy to say, were about as impressed by the weather as we were, and, given a decided absence of jobs from the brass, I felt able to allow A and C flights some days leave on the proviso that they would be back within 96 hours.
B flight grumbled not unnaturally but we did have a rather pleasant Christmas dinner which consisted of shoulder of lamb in a very rich sauce, and, tragically, a selection of vegetables which, I'm sad to relate, included potato croquettes. This, I should have realised, was a disaster in the making, however it took the first few salvoes of airborne but rapidly disintegrating croquettes to remember, with a slight shock, that B flight (and those members of A and C flights who'd returned early) were still at heart schoolboys for whom a food fight represents, to some degree, the very apogee of the British Empire. Inevitably, I was forced to defend myself having been pelted with airborne vegetation, and thus I cannot, with hand on heart, pretend that I am any better than the rest of them, to my eternal shame.
On a brighter note, my tunic didn't carry a stain, and it rather broke the ice, leading to an enjoyable evening of carols and rather less savoury airmen's songs round our dilapidated piano forte, with Lt. Ross providing tremendous accompaniment on his viola.
New Year came and went quietly; I relieved all staff where possible, allowing them to wander to whatever pleasures they might find. For those chaps left rota'd for the evening, I made a point of gathering them together in the fitters' store with several bottles of whiskey, and drank a toast to them, noting that we the pilots owed our lives to their work. Even the crews in the gun pits got whiskey; clearly, the Huns weren't likely to attack at New Year, and it had troubled me somewhat in the last year that we hadn't shown out appreciation to all the people in No. 12.
We are a squadron of BE2d's. We are pilots and observers. However, there is a vast edifice that supports and maintains our work, otherwise we would never get off the ground. Oh yes, they've handed me a medal and a few bars for spotting, bombing and knocking down the odd Hun, but the truth is that we'd not be able to do all of that without all the men behind us on the ground.
Hence, for once, I issued no orders for the 1st of January, contenting myself to wander round at around nine o'clock, checking for signs of life. Pleasingly, in a way, nothing much stirred until very late morning. I wasn't unhappy about that. The rest of A and C flights drifted back in that day no doubt the pox doctors will be receiving custom from them and things settled down a little. The next few days saw only fitful work near our lines, so it was only yesterday and today that things began to become more active as the weather lifted it has been truly awful, and no doubt similar in England to the point where we could actually fly.
I went up yesterday spotting NE of Ypres near Passchendaele, but was forced back with a hole in the petrol tank. Well, you know my feelings about that! When I saw the pressure dropping, I immediately winged over and dodged back to our lines, ending up in a field near Ypres. Today has been rather more entertaining, insofar as we had a rendezvous with a Hun airfield some way East of Ypres, which we were meant to lace with bombs. I'm not very keen on these jobs, however, I'm pleased to say that that the French provided a trio of Nieuport 17 scouts to accompany us much to the relief of all concerned. On this occasion, we didn't meet a single Hun on the way there or on the way back, and I was very happy to tip a load of bombs onto their hangars which were seen to be well alight prior to our departure. A good job well done I felt, and I was happy to stand B flight a round upon our return, as we have apparently inflicted considerable damage on the Huns.
All of this is largely meaningless unless we see the army below sweeping its way across the lines and into the German army. That's the difficult part. The latest story to emanate on the grapevine which you must not repeat, of course is that there will be a major 'push' up here, probably around Arras, so we shall see what the next few weeks and months bring. I wrote Trenchard a letter the other day asking for the new RE8s, and pointing out how much better we could do our jobs in aeroplanes that aren't liabilities. No reply yet.
I must away. Tomorrow is an early start out spotting for local batteries, so I must turn in. My best regards to you and Elsbeth, and, in closing, my congratulations to you on your excellent results in your class tests for this year. You are undoubtedly the brightest in the family, and I will be delighted when you attain your degree!
Fond regards,

"Pretty cool pics, following the rest of the diaries! Thanks"
Hi Stratos,
I'll post some more soon, but it's getting pretty difficult to be a BE2d pilot in 1917, as I'm pretty occupied! Thanks for the compliments.

Major Vic Timm,
1st June 1917
Dear Marcus,
Thank you for your recent letter and the parcel containing various items. They will all come in handy.
I'm pleased to say that I'm well and truly recovered from the peritonitis that struck in January. To be fair, I'd had sufficient warnings in the preceding weeks, but foolishly I'd simply put it down to a grumbly stomach or the reaction to our work. God knows we probably all drink too much and that's down to the nature of our lives, such as they are. Anyway, as you now know, I was carted off in agony to hospital in Amiens, they whipped out the offending article and there I stayed until the doctors pronounced me fit to return to duty, although after a most pleasant week's leave in Etaples breathing in the sea air and looking forlornly towards England.
As a result, I missed all of the squadron's activities until late May, which includes Bloody April as I believe the press have called it. I won't pull any punches on this: the RFC and RNAS were asked to perform tasks that they weren't and still aren't equipped for at the start of the current Arras push, and were punished accordingly by the Hun. I can't put it any more simply than that, and I'm glad I wasn't there, although, of course, as the squadron commander I am cognisant of the losses we incurred. Thankfully, we only lost a couple of aircraft and crew, however I'm fully aware of just how badly the Corps did that month.
My return to No. 12 was received with equanimity and we've been straight back into action ever since. Looking at my flight log, I notice that on the 28th May we were up from Etrun I should have mentioned, our new home north of Arras; you're never without the sound of gunfire day or night to attack a marshalling yard near to Velenciennes and although we bombed the target (largely pointless, it seemed to me) we were harried on the way home by Albatros scouts and lost Jenkins and Fazakerley in their BE.
The day before yesterday, we were on a job to bomb Busigny aerodrome escorted by some FE2b's from 22 squadron. This time, we lost the escort as they got stuck in to some Huns just short of Busigny which allowed us to do our job, but we received a hit into the 'plane which left us limping back over the lines with the engine misfiring and me doubting that we'd make landfall in friendly territory. We crept back to Lieremont miles away from Etrun and made our way back to Etrun in a staff car that was whistled up for the event. For once, perhaps, being a squadron commander worked in my favour.
And so, onto today. Again, looking at my flight log prior to going out, I became aware that today's job was my 100th operation, which represents a similar number of hours in the air, but, by any measure, it is something of a milestone and so I was relieved when it was announced by GHQ that we'd be up over Eterpigny spotting for the nine twos of the local RA batteries.
Well; that was the plan.
It came to grief almost from the start. We met up with Niueport 23 scouts from no. 40 squadron as planned over Etrun, but they were almost instantly taken off to deal with Hun scouts encroaching on our airfield an act of almost superhuman boldness for Huns and thus we had to head off alone. Deane had wind up about this, and, frankly, so did I. The skies over Arras are not a healthy place to be at present, and, sure enough, having formed up the flight again, it didn't take long before I could see Huns in their buzzy little Albatri looming in our flight path. Looking round as we passed over Arras, and surveying the horrors to the east, I wondered idly if this was God's way of punishing me for existing. I signalled everyone to tighten up we'd already lost one BE to a dud engine and headed towards our Jasta chums. They buzzed around for a while as we flew over Tilloy, but didn't attack, which I found perplexing. This state of affairs though didn't last as a few of them left to go after some RNAS Strutters I'd seen to the north and what was left of our escort turned up unexpectedly, to my mind and took on these other chaps. I could see much whirling and stunting, but precious little in the way of bringing any Huns down. No matter. We continued south east towards Eterpigny, and found of course yet more Hun scouts in our path. I identified these newcomers as members of Jasta 4, and they seem to be equipped with Albatros DIII aeroplanes, which means two machine guns, plenty of performance and little chance of a BE2 getting past them.
I have to say, I have never been quite so scared whilst piloting an aeroplane. The plan to spot between Eterpigny and Vis-en-Artois went completely by the board. I signalled to the rest of the flight that they should tighten up, but this became a nonsense as we headed into a hail of enemy ground fire with the Albatri honing in on us. I saw poor old Fisher go in, his engine exuding thick, oily smoke, and soon after he was joined by Lt Morgan who, I'm told managed to crash his BE into a front line trench I'm sure he was absolutely delighted; he's not yet made it back, so his version of events will have to wait.
Anyhow, now down to three aeroplanes, shot at from below and with Albatros scouts in attendance, I began to do the job with which we'd been charged. No such luck. We'd turned on an axis between Eterpigny and Cagnicourt and, sure enough, down came Jasta 4 in their multicoloured scouts. By now, I had wind up and realising that it was impossible to spot under these conditions where was our escort? - signalled to everyone to go home as safely as they could.
Then I turned to face Jasta 4.
Huns are queer chaps: they appear to be very brave fellows until faced with their potential demise although, I suppose, we're all brave until faced with death and what had been a marauding group of Albatros scouts began to scatter as I fronted them with Deane pointing out possible targets. Unsurprisingly, these chaps followed down to the rest of B flight as they scattered for home, and they looked very businesslike in their efforts to bring down the rest of the flight, however they appeared to have overlooked us, and as one black-bodied Hun slipped in behind Lt Astley, I was able to pop in behind him and set his engine smoking. Astley went in, in a sheet of flames, behind our lines, and died along with his obs, I'm sad to relate, but at least his attacker did not get away scot free. I followed him, putting bursts into him from our Lewis until it became clear that he was going to run for it, and so he did.
I looked around to find that the sky empty of Huns, and signalled what was left of the flight to rejoin. Thus, we made our way back to Etrun, narrowly avoiding yet another flight of Huns as we came back to Earth.
I'm told by those in the know that the RFC and RNAS have achieved superiority in the air. I would beg to differ. Were it not for the indifferent attitude of the Huns this afternoon, I'm fairly sure that Deane and I would have been brought down this afternoon.
I am sat with a large whiskey, listening to the night time cadence of howitzers and heavies, wondering where some of my crews are, and basically considering whether this is all worth a candle. I have survived 100 flights, something like 80 hours over Hun lines, and yet I feel less safe than two years ago and our aeroplanes are the same ones as those with which we came to France all that time ago and which were barely adequate then.Today I managed to turn back, but with three of the flight downed or missing. Tomorrow I do not know what might happen. I've made the decision that I'm going to have a few drinks this evening: I'm going to search my memory and go back over the events of the last few years and I will probably raise a glass or two to people like Boscowen, Ashford and Kennicot, and all of the other men who've lived and died whilst I have survived. I do not assume that I have a guardian angel, and I suspect that I will not not survive this way, and given the number of comrades whose faces have come and gone over the last two years, I can only conclude that this is a mathematical certainty.
Still: lest I depress you, I should also note that I have in that time been shot down numerous times, incarcerated twice, hospitalised more than once and been scared to death most of the time. Therefore, my predictions for the future may well be awry. I certainly hope so.
I shall conclude this missive now, and retire to the mess. I have an urge upon me to think over the last few years, and the adventures I've been through, and think it best to do so with some company, lest I become melancholy. I know that you're at the end of the academic year, so I hope that this letter coincides with your summer break. What you have told me about life at Manchester has whetted my appetite to learn for my own sake, and I have become more than a little interested in your thoughts on socialism and other such political theories. I fervently look forward to the day when I may have the chance to explore such subjects for myself.
My love to you and the parents, and I hope I may bag some leave before long.
Yours affectionately,

Major Vic Timm,
16th July 1917
Dear Marcus,
Greetings to you from our new home at Ablainzeville, in what I imagine was previously a cow field. It's a little quieter than Etrun, but, sadly, hardly what one would call satisfactory. We are, again, in tents, and given that recent weather has been terribly thundery, it's led to some grumbles in No.12. I told everyone to shut up and hope for better weather, although I did, as a precaution, ensure that the bar in the mess was well stocked up prior to admonishing them for complaining thus. It is, after all, only precipitation, and they should be jolly glad that the weather is as awful as it is it's led to cancelled jobs, or severely curtailed ones, and where the jobs do go ahead, quite frequently the cloud and rain have hidden us from the lurking Hun scouts. We know they're there: we just hope they can't see us most of the time.
I had the great pleasure of running into Colin Wilshaw earlier in the week, having seen neither hide nor hair of him since his transfer into No.6 Squadron, up near Ypres some months ago. For whatever reasons, he'd wangled a trip to Bethune and got word to me, so I met up with him at the La Suite restaurant off the Rue Alexandre Ponnelle. He is as irritating as ever, but it was deeply enjoyable to spend a few hours in his company. We spoke about our respective experiences in our squadrons, and I was mortified to learn that No.6 have given up on their Fees apparently, they're becoming night bomber 'planes and thus returned to England for new squadrons and they've adopted RE8s, which, if you recall, I was asked to test fly towards the end of last year. Colin now, finally, has a machine gun of his very own, and apparently he's managed to wing a few unwary Huns, whilst his obs passenger has his own Lewis and has managed to bring down an Albatros. Whatever next.
I asked Colin about the RE and his opinion of it, and he told me that it was better than their Fees had been, but was not really terribly good in the overall scheme of things, and certainly not a match for an Albatros scout, their success notwithstanding. He also told me about another squadron locally who had Bristol F2bs - Bristol Fighters - which, he opined, are rather better, being very fast, very well armed and most manouvreable. I suppose the chances of us ever seeing these are minimal, but one can hope.
I was curious about his opinion because, surprise, surprise, we are currently re-equipping with these very same RE8s. I had a note from Boom back in early July that said:
My dear Victor,
Yr request for new aircraft now fulfilled. Expect max. effort as usual, good hunting and will drop by before end of month
or suchlike. The next day came the official notification, but I expect that Trenchard was simply engaging in noblesse oblige on this one. We've been anticipating coming off BE's for a few months, but it's all been so maddeningly slow. But, there we are. We're still flying BE's on a daily basis, but we have three RE8s in circulation within No.12 with which the pilots are acclimatising themselves so in all likelihood we should be flying them operationally come August. I've had a few flights in them and they're much the same as the one that I flew in Farnborough, which is to say, twitchy and dangerous. How scout pilots get used to this nonsense, I will never understand.
Thus, it was useful to hear Colin's opinion, which mostly conformed to my own. Of immediate interest to me was the information he relayed about troop movements up near Ypres. Apparently, the Arras do was simply meant to be the introductory overture to an attack near Ypres, and this has been hastened on by the weakness of the French Army whose losses in the Nivelle offensives have somewhat broken the back of the French to initiate offensive action. I've heard this all from several sources, but Colin's up there and sees the divisions moving up past Ghent each day, so it looks like Haig is under orders to take up the slack, despite the Arras losses, and keep the Huns occupied lest they smell a rat and attack the French, who, it is said, are in no fit state to fight just at the moment.
I'd care to differ on that in terms of their air arm, as the SPADs from Escadrille 15 that accompanied us on a trip to Roselare yesterday seemed pretty hardy and enthusiastic, although I suppose that if one has spent months or years skulking about in mud in Champagne or thereabouts, one is unlikely to be terribly keen to do very much, particularly when one has lost so many comrades. I'm told that the French are losing around 250,000 men a year at the moment. Hardly encouraging.
So, it looks like there will be a late push up in Belgium, and I've no doubt that we, and our new, shiny aeroplanes will be in some demand for spotting and reconnaissance work, as usual. At least it means fewer bombing jobs, I hope.
Thus it is that both Colin and his squadron, and I and mine are involved in this madness for a little longer, if only to save the French Army's bacon whilst they reorganise. I can't imagine such a thing happening in our own army, however given that Haig has been busy slaughtering his troops at Arras for little gain, perhaps one day our own Tommies will tell him that enough is enough. Certainly, it's apparent that British troops are being supplanted with Canadians, Australians, etc, but that is surely down to our own depots not being quick enough to send out new battalions, although lack of manpower must be an issue.
Forgive me; I didn't wish to turn this letter into an academic tome: I'm sure that you get quite enough of that in Manchester.
Well, you're home now, so I hope that you're enjoying yourself, and I certainly hope that the weather is better than here, where it is rotten. I received a missive from the aged parents a week ago telling me that you are minded to take up work with the Manchester Ship Canal Company, and, I should add, also mischievously claiming that you will make Elsbeth an honest woman upon your graduation! Don't blame me, Marcus, I am but the recounter of things heard elsewhere, as well as being a terrible gossip. But think upon both things: Elsbeth is a lovely girl, and the Canal Company is a good place for an engineering graduate. Certainly far better than sitting in France or Belgium, for example, drinking port and waiting for the rain to stop if it ever will.
I've hardly mentioned our work since, of late, we've not had very much, plus, of course, people are learning to fly the new 'planes. The only really exciting incident was a job out to Hamel one of those places where the ground fighting has been most intense with 'B' flight, where we had an escort from No.56 Squadron, who are flying SE5a scout aeroplanes. These chaps took great care of us en route and as soon as some Hun scouts turned up to harry us, they were off like rockets, so whilst the rest of the flight took plates over and around Hamel, I will confess that I strayed over towards Arleux, and watched a most exciting scrap between our escort and some Albatros scouts from Jasta 5, I think. The chaps from 56 tore them to pieces, and I saw at least four Huns go down, and not one of our chaps hurt.
For once, I really felt as though I was in very good hands, and I was waving like mad and grinning at the SE's as they accompanied us back home. They probably thought that I was suffering from shell shock, but I didn't care I felt safe. Once back at Ablainzeville, I sent a message to No.56 thanking them for their help and assuring them that should they ever need a flight of BE2s to come to their aid, I will be happy to oblige.
Well, it's now a quarter past eleven and I am up again in the morning, up to Ypres as it happens, so perhaps Colin is right. Certainly, when I took my leave of him I felt a shiver. I hope he will be fine at No.6. I'm sure that he will, and when he left me, he was telling me of his ambition to put down a few Huns in his splendid RE8. I cautioned against it, but, as I've mentioned before, he is mad. I've no doubt he will be fine, but I wouldn't be his obs for all the tea in China.
I will turn in now. I can hear Sergeant Woodley and his crew firing up an engine out in the shed what are they doing? - but some cotton wool and another Armagnac and I won't hear it. I'm hoping for a quiet day tomorrow.
Most affectionately,

Thanks Stratos,
I'll try to add some new shots soon - the main problem is things tend to get hectic when German aircraft turn up or when you're doing bombing runs. If only I had an observer to take the photographs for me!

I know that but what about some pics of taking off or flying to the objective? A couple of pics for each AAR will help people to inmerse in the history a bit more.

Major Vic Timm,
6th August 1917
Dear Marcus,
Well, yet again we've moved house. Thankfully we've left the cow field that was Ablainzeville, but, with the luck that typifies No.12 Squadron, they've managed to find us another cow field, again churned up and quite unfit from which to fly aeroplanes. This one is called Courcelles-le-Comte, and we arrived here more or less at the same time as we fully re-equipped with RE8s. Lucky old us.
Logistically, it was something of a nightmare, since not only did it mean moving everyone to the new place, but there was also the not insignificant matter of divesting ourselves of the BE2s and all associated spares, plus also that of shipping in the new aeroplanes and spares to keep them in the air.
I won't dwell on what we went through; suffice to say, perhaps, that we have the best ground crews in the entire Corps, and that we were glad to see the back of our old BE2d's, which, I'm reliably informed, will go off to equip a Home Defence squadron back in England. Lucky old them.
Thus, we fetched up at Courcelles, a rather miserable place, although the remaining locals seem quite pleasant, particularly given what they've been through in recent years, but I hear that they were all back quick as a flash once the ground had been secured. That's the French peasant spirit for you, and what equips their Poilus for the most part, when they aren't rebelling against their rather dim generals, that is.
And so to today. It's now around half past six in the evening, and we've officially joined Haig's latest push, but as an auxiliary to his activities to the North I should have mentioned: we're now about halfway between Bapaume and Arras, and therefore some way South of Ypres. However, it's clearly all been going full steam ahead to the North, and we were asked to do a job between Bully-les-Mines and Grenay, just West of Lens, and therefore pretty much on the frontline. This reminded me of our last job over Hunland in BE's. That was a quick recon job, although it cost Arthur Simpson and his observer rather more than the plates were worth, as they went down on the wrong side of the lines. Never mind.
We pushed off this morning at around seven, having been granted an escort of half a dozen SPADs I'm beginning to wonder if Boom actually does take advice from the French, and, I have to say, they were quite assiduous at keeping us out of harm's way, but, more impressive to my mind was the sheer number of our aeroplanes up and about. Apart from our escort who mostly beetled off to beat up some Albatri I counted around half a dozen other SPADs and more than a few Camels buzzing around.
I suppose I should elucidate a little on this. SPADs are the scouts used by the French. I spoke to one of our Corps pilots who uses one, and he swears by it, proclaiming it robust, quick and a vast improvement on the DH2. However, that is more or less eclipsed by the conversations I've had with Corps pilots flying Sopwith Camels. They seem to be unanimous in proclaiming it a work of art as well as the best possible scout in which to take on the Huns. I take this with a pinch of salt, of course, but it does seem to be a firmly held view amongst scout squadrons that they're top notch like the SE5s I mentioned a while ago. The Huns have long had an advantage in terms of technical superiority over us, so it's pleasant to be able to report that we now have better scouts than them, if not, regrettably, better two seater aeroplanes. Apparently, we're not short of decent reconnaissance aeroplanes: I was speaking to a Captain from No.35 RFC the other week, and he was waxing lyrical about their Armstrong-Whitworth 'planes, professing them to be very sturdy craft and much better than BE's, although that's hardly difficult. I told him we were converting to RE8's and he visibly winced.
Anyway. The general point, if there is one, is that we're finally getting better aeroplanes up to the front in our squadrons, and this, plus the fact that we're getting escorts on jobs more often than not, added to the sheer number as I alluded to before means that the prospect of going up into Hunland isn't quite the death sentence it used to be only a few months ago. Certainly, our first trip over the lines felt safe enough and although I could see Hun scouts some way into the distance, there wasn't a sniff of trouble, which was most welcome to the flight.
I have to say, everyone seems quite eager to go up now that we have a better 'plane than the BE2 and better support from our scout squadrons, and it's a relief to me after all the trouble we went through from the middle of last year onwards. I'm going to finish this letter to you and then I'm going to pop over to the mess, where, I can guarantee, for once, I will find pilots having drinks not because they feel a little morbid (although I'm sure we all do to a degree) but because they finally have something to celebrate.
I'm going to stop there because nothing puts the kibosh on such fortune as mentioning it publicly, and given that aviators are most superstitious people on Earth, crawling out to aeroplanes weighted down by rabbits' feet, St. Christopher medals, lucky heather, charms and sweethearts' photos, that is perhaps just as well.
In closing, I will note that the weather here is currently frightfully hot, but it's becoming more sultry, so I imagine it will break soon. I just hope that Haig's made the right choice this time, and that the PBI give the Hun the beating that they need.
My love to Elsbeth, and of course the parents I'll send them a Bowdlerised version of this anon.
Fondest regards,
(more screenies on the way - promise!)

Major Vic Timm,
27th August 1917
Dear Marcus,
Thank you as ever for the kind gift of a walking stick which I received yesterday morning. I shall throw away the Corps one that was given to me upon my discharge from the infirmary in preference for the one from home. It is rather nicer, and, besides, is much sturdier. I'm hoping, frankly, that I won't need it fairly soon, however the injuries to my left leg have meant that I've been unable to walk without one, and this will continue for some weeks according to the quacks. What they don't appreciate is that, from a seated position, I am more than capable of flying a squadron, as evidenced by the lack of paperwork on my desk this morning. I don't suppose they've even considered my being able to fly, however that's proven possible too. Deane helped me into the pilot's seat yesterday with a few other willing hands, and I found that I was able to manipulate all the controls necessary in order to take our Harry Tate up for a spin round. Thus, I will be on duty tomorrow morning.
It seems that the French have had some success down near Verdun, which has surprised me given the state of most of their army. Apparently they've taken quite a chunk of land from the Huns. I heard this from Colin when he dropped in to see me in hospital. We spent much time discussing the flight out to Brebiéres. We'd set out for our first bombing raid since acquiring RE's, so we were kindly escorted by some Nieuport 24 scouts from Escadrille 79, who were quickly called upon to deal with Albatros scouts, so we didn't see them again. We dropped our bombs on the railyards, accompanied by a devil of a lot of ground fire, and just as we pulled out, I felt something go thud under my feet. I looked at the fuel gauge, then over my shoulder, and realised that the tank had been holed. Thank goodness I'd taken the unusual precaution of asking the crew to put in more petrol than was necessary for the mission.
We staggered back towards Arras, leeching petrol at every moment, with me praying that the Huns wouldn't turn up, and I indicated to Deane that he should pitch his Lewis and ammo over the side, whilst I chucked away anything that I felt extraneous to our needs. I'm never going into a German POW camp again, I swear. We finally made it over just North of Arras, when the needle rested its weary head and the engine conked out due to the lack of petrol. As I pointed out to Colin, I'm still not quite as used to the RE8 as I was the BE, so it's hardly surprising that when we made landfall just short of Roclincourt, I wasn't able to bring down the aeroplane safely. The left wing dropped alarmingly and being too low to compensate, it went in first and turned us round before ripping off at the root, as we bounced upwards and generally had an uncomfortable time of it.
End result: Deane, broken left arm and collar bone and happy to go home; yours truly, cracked shinbone and off work for a couple of weeks. As it turns out, Colin mentioned that the RE is a swine if you're coming down in a hurry, as it happened to him recently up near Zuidschote (near Ypres), and he barely got out alive with his obs. Still. A lesson learned.
Thus it is that I'm sat here writing this letter.
I waved off Colin from the hospital and was helped back in by the nurse, but, really, I'm getting too old for this sort of nonsense, and were it not for the number of new pilots in the squadron, I would proclaim my flying days over and perform my duties purely from the safety of my desk. That, however, won't be happening for a little while as we continue to have a stream of work coming through, and therefore it needs to be both organised and expedited as necessary. Hence, I will ignore all medical opinion and pop up later with my temporary observer, Lieutenant Simpson, who should be piloting, but for whom we lack a 'plane. At least this way he'll get to see the area with somebody who's seen it for some time. Good God how long have I been flying over this misbegotten land?
I shall close as the briefing is due soon, although I don't like the look of the clouds gathering from the North.
30th August
As you can tell from the preceding, Marcus, we didn't fly that day, nor the day after, nor the one after that. It's been throwing it down unceasingly since that time not unusual in hot and thundery weather, but this has been quite unexpected. I was speaking yesterday to a communications officer from a local RA howitzer battery, and he tells me that this has reduced the advance across the line to a crawl, since it makes registration a nightmare, and, even if the Corps can get up, the landscape has changed to a degree, making spotting of established landmarks less easy and new ones extremely difficult. Whether this is all excuses by different parties, I don't know, but certainly we're having difficulties pushing on.
We went up again this morning, bright and early, in order to pay a visit to a Hun airfield East of Lens, which is on the front line. We've bombed La Petrie before, but in the past we didn't carry the weight of bombs that we can now, so I wondered how the RE would react to getting off the ground with around two hundredweight of bombs slung underneath, and, to my surprise, it coped rather better than I had expected. We set off and were caught up by a flight of SPADs from 23 Squadron, who clucked and fussed round us and generally did what they're meant to. I'm glad they were there, because I could see that the Corps was up in strength, as were the Naval chaps, and so, naturally, were the Huns. There appeared to be fights breaking out all over the place with RNAS Triplanes and Pups and Corps SE5s, Camels and Nieuports all skidding around and taking on the inevitable Albatri. Simpson told me later that he more or less lost count of the number of 'planes that fell out of the fight, still less the number of aeroplanes involved as we pressed on to La Petrie.
Of course, when we got there, nobody was home, so I signalled to the flight to flatten the hangars and, indeed, anything else they could hit. We screamed down well in excess of a hundred knots and let our eggs go. I pulled back and started to weave to avoid the hail of gunfire being sent our way, but nearly had my shoulder dislocated by Simpson as he clapped me heavily upon it, shouted and pointed backwards. Heeling over, I saw that we'd scored direct hits on some hangars, so I suppose what our scouts have left of their aeroplanes are going to spend a very wet night tonight unless they decide to decamp Eastwards, which will suit us very nicely.
One of our escort, unfortunately, became rather too animated by all the bombing and excitement and I saw him brought down by Hun machine guns, but by the looks of it he probably went into the bag rather than a coffin. Most unnecessary, and I will raise the subject with 23's CO when I'm over that way. He would do well to stop his chaps losing their heads and getting involved in our fights, although I understand how eager some of them must be.
Our return flight was more or less uneventful, I'm pleased to say, and Simpson and I took turns at pointing out the various scraps occurring elsewhere. Interestingly, I saw what I later confirmed to be Bristol Fighters taking on and seemingly besting some Hun scouts a couple of mile North of us as we approached the lines, and it filled me with hope since I've heard increasingly good reports of these devices, and I'm dying to get my hands on one to assess it. I think some of this evening will be spent dropping Boom a note thanking him for the RE8's and asking when we get Brisfits.
We waved off the SPADs of 23 Squadron, just as the heavens opened near Courcelles, making landing an even more unpleasant job than usual, thanks to the combination of driving rain and the RE's snout which obliterates any sensible forward vision. The people who design these 'planes really should be made to fly the damn things.
We did, however, put down safely and I thanked Simpson for his company. No more jobs came up, due to the weather, so I spent a pleasant lunch and afternoon with Simpson and Cleaver who apparently know each other from Oxford, but who made a point of including me in the conversation most gallantly. It seems that both their fathers are MP's, which surprised me, and that they both abandoned their studies to do their bit: I only hope they don't regret it. I joined up, as you know, because the Army looked like it would need more engineers: I couldn't have guessed that three years on I would be doing this, rather than puzzling over the logistics of bridges and batteries, but there you are. Given that no more flying was on the cards, I allowed both of them to amuse me with their aspirations and tales of great daring in the face of the Hun. Cleaver, I can take this from, seeing as he's been with us for some months: Simpson I had to chuckle at, quietly. He's done around half a dozen jobs and is now clearly established as a fount of knowledge regarding life out here. I finally left him and Cleaver arguing over whether the Albatros DIII is a more ferocious foe than the DV and went for forty winks.
Tomorrow's the end of the month, and, I suppose, heralds the slide into Autumn. I sincerely hope that the pain in my leg is down to the recent wound, as I don't fancy it being the start of arthritis in my lower leg. Still, given that I've managed to acquire a variety of injuries and wounds over the last few years, I wouldn't be that surprised if it was. But I do look forward to putting that lovely stick away for good.
My love, as ever, to Elsbeth and the aged parents, and I hope to take some leave back in England towards the end of the year. Only thirteen weeks until 1918 eh? I seem to remember, some time ago, someone telling me this would all be over by Christmas; what a pity they didn't specify which one.
My best regards,

Deck-Types: Rundown on the Beatdown
Ask yourself this: Do you enjoy simple solutions to monster conflicts? Would you rather take the traditional punch-em-in-the-schnoz route instead of insisting on a slow-and-steady demise? Do you like slaughtering weak beasties? If so, you're perfectly suited to run a Beatdown Deck. But are you fighting with your brains, or just your brawn?
Bring On The Bruisers
High ATK monsters are your heavy-lifters, but while you should give them the spotlight, don't skimp on strategy. Sometimes a low-stat Effect Monster can do more than several with high ATK. Also remember that summoning the most powerful monsters will take serious thinking...and Tributes.
Magic in the Ring
Since you want to hit hard and fast, use Spells and Traps that clear your opponent's field. Try using defensive cards with added bonuses, such as destroying the attacker, so you can counterattack as soon as possible.
KISS: The Golden Rule
Above all: Keep It Simple, Stup...er, Sweetie. Base your Deck on a single theme. Maybe your Deck uses Wind-Up or Watt monsters. Or maybe it's all Dragon-Types or DARK Attribute. At the very least, many Effects grant field-wide benefits to a certain group of critters, making your opponent KISS the curb all the faster.
Watch for the Left Hook
A Beatdown Deck's worst enemies are Effects that block or paralyze attacks. Destructive Effects can also be deadly if you can't recover immediately. Dark Bribe, Effect Veiler and similar cards offer some protection, but try to keep an ace in reserve just in case.
Try This!
- Lightweight Championship: Low-Level monsters have come into their own. Whether by themselves or as fodder for something stronger, little guys can sometimes do what their superiors can't.
- Vanilla Is Still A Flavor: Normal Monsters can be a dangerous force with the right backup. Seriously, did Kryptonite ever bother Batman?
Other Cards
- Number 96: Dark Mist - Detach a monster from this Number to make him exactly 100 ATK stronger than his enemy.
- Ego Boost - A sudden 1000 ATK bonus during a battle? Yes.
- Mirror Force - Wipe out every offensive monster the moment your opponent attacks. Boom!

Cat Urine on Concrete (5/5) | Feb 6, 2010 | Chelsea McCarty | New Albany OH | |
I LOVE YOUR PRODUCT! We are having trouble with our cat peeing on the concrete around her litter box - and the smell is unbearable. We tried everything and just could not get rid of the smell. I have a very sensitive nose - and could smell the odor coming from the basement all the way upstairs in our bedroom. My mom suggested your Concrete product and it has worked wonders! The smell was eliminated immediately! I can't thank you enough and I have told all of our friends about this! Petsmart has discontinued carrying the Concrete product and we would love if they started carrying it again. If we can't find another store that carries it, I am glad to see that you sell it online - and we will have to resort to buying from your website. Thank you so much for your fabulous product! | ||||
I love it (5/5) | Oct 13, 2010 | Mary Walvoort | Sheboygan Falls WI | |
I love it! Not only dodes it help with the "fresh" stains, it also works on lifting old vomit from my basement floor. The basement smells a lot fresher too. |

HQ-Bloodthirster with blessing (This will be built on a plastic balrog)
HQ-Herald on juggernaught (This will be built on a plastic cruscher)
HQ-Skulltaker on juggernaught (Dont know if i'm going to convert from scratch or try to fit the finecast modell on a plastic cruscher)
Elite-8 Bloodcruscher with icon, rending and instrument (These are basicly why this army started so there wont be any elaborate conversions here)
Troop-3 x 8 Bloodletters (basic standard blood letters in plastic)
Fast-8 khorne warhounds (These will be built on chaos warhound)
Heavy-Demonprince + MoK + ironhide
Heavy-Demonprince + MoK + ironhide
Heavy-Demonprince + MoK
(All three demonprinces will be built on the plastic minotaur kit and hopefully they all will be a bit unique compered to each other)
So enough of the chitchat and on to some pictures!
First of is one of the demonprinces
Tips, comments and critique is always wellcome!

Even with all of its intensity, the 2009 has a silkiness that makes it incredibly delicious at this early stage. Red berries, flowers, tobacco and sweet herbs all flesh out on the generous, radiant finish. While many 2009s are a bit tight today, Montelena's 2009 Estate is showing very nicely, although it is keeping some cards close to the vest. I imagine the 2009 will start to enter its prime drinking window around age 8-10 and drink well for at least another decade beyond that."

Hey, so my 'friend' says this is mostly used for booty calls. Is that the case? Just asking for a friend or something.

A good friend of mine who I've known all my life said that's accurate. And even he knows someone real close to him that got cat fished. Just what I heard from a friend of mine.

This is a fun community and I've "met" some good people on there. There's a group doing a live meetup here in Los Angeles this weekend, so there is actual "real life" happening.

Anyway you can get rid of the ads. It's actually a nice app. I just dislike ads.
