Hey Men, Is Counting Two Weeks from Ovulation to PMS Too Tricky? There's an App for That!
By Deb Rox on April 22, 2010
BlogHer Original Post
App marketers are hoping that tech-savvy men are just as dim about women's mysterious cycles as Brick Hamiland from Anchorman: The Legend of Ron Burgundy was. Brick didn't want women in the newsroom because "I read somewhere that their periods attract bears... bears can smell the menstruation."
Scary stuff, that menstruation.
In lieu of training bears to help men interpret women's cycles, Code Red, an iPhone app released this month, is joining a group of applications marketed to guys who want to track women's periods, dude-style.
Oh, women and our crafty, mysterious girlparts, always trying to sneak up on men with our wacky cycles replete with murderous PMS impulses and craven ovulation windows. How else could a logical, mortal man know what to expect at the end of one of our mercurial rampage-filled days unless he hacked an app for that?
Other, more general, apps exist to help users track menstrual cycles for fertility, health or other reasons, which seem like great uses for this kind of scheduling tech for women and for the men in their lives. But what about the apps marketed to men to help them "survive" the estrogen in their day-to-day? Which one might the men in your life consider adding to their iPhone man-cave?
Their Description: We will not only keep you informed, but will give you some free advice on what to do about it. With PMSBuddy.com, there is no reason to ever be blindsided by PMS again.
Pros: Reminder system also has an online access interface. Social media advantage: Add it to your Facebook profile!
Cons: Crazy ads disguised as tips. "During PMS women can feel bloated and unattractive. Show her how you really feel with some sexy lingerie." That right there is dangerous for all involved.
Bottom Line: Men can track multiple women, and women can send their info to up to five recipients. Great for offices and polygamist families!
Their Description: I Am a Man will help you with your private life planning. You will know about your girlfriend's period and her mood. You can plan your dates, evening and save some money.
Pros: The app wants you to know that hacking women's cycles means more than just avoiding PMS! Spot your ovulation-related sexy-time opps with this app, and juggle a bunch of babes in the process.
Cons: The calendar shows PMS days as pink lightning graphics, which is cool, but the vampire-esque blood drops that signify "menses?" That would make me stabby to see on a guy's calendar, any day of the month.
Bottom Line: The summary screen telling you where your tribe is at in their cycles, with links to their phone numbers, says it all, Player. i Am A Man might be for you if U Are A little Boy.
Their Description: Men's best defense against the monthly Her-ricane. Men no longer need to fear the wrath of menstrual madness. MEDL Mobile is pleased—and very relieved—to introduce Code Red: a simple but powerful menstrual calendar for men to keep track of—and survive—their girlfriend's/fiancé's/wife's monthly cycle.
Pros: Fuller look at a woman's cycle, with accompanying animated alerts for: Smooth Sailing, Horny, PMS, Ovulation, Code Red.
Cons: If a man gets really comfy with this app and actually says the phrase "wrath of menstrual madness" or repeats the app's humor outloud, that could be messy.
Bottom Line: Code Red creators say they have been together for 180 menstrual cycles. I'm not sure if that anniversary is paper, tin or diva cup, but I guess there is love in this app, somewhere.
More about the Code Red design and launch at the Washington Post, where Monica Hesse quipped,
Here we have been assuming that our lady-business skeeved you out, that you heard "menstruation" and you went "lalalalalalala." We were wrong. How else to explain "Code Red," the new iPhone period app that -- and this is really linguistically unfortunate -- also works on the iPad?
The Frisky doesn't think the world needs Code Red: "Really, guys, if her PMS or period is so bad that you need to be 'warned' about it Weather Channel-style, don't you think you should, say, become a little more observant?"
What would you think if your paramour were tracking your cycle? Would it depend on the app used? Or do you just help out by circling a few days on the fridge calendar and shouting out an update now and then?
Contributing Editor Deb Rox loves it when when groups of women start cycling in sync. It's like the boy band, but with much more va-voom!

Syrian government forces responsible for poison gas attack, says US-based rights group
Human Rights Watch reached its conclusion 'after analysing witness accounts, information of the likely source of the attacks, remnants of the weapons used and medical records of victims'
- Image Credit: REUTERS
- Free Syrian Army fighters take up positions behind piled sandbags as they aim their weapons in the eastern Al Ghouta, near Damascus.
Dubai: Evidence strongly suggests Syrian government forces were responsible for a poison gas attack that killed more than 1,400 people, Human Rights Watch said on Tuesday, contradicting repeated denials by Syrian President Bashar Al Assad.
The US-based rights group, in a report issued in New York, said it had reached its conclusion after analysing witness accounts, information of the likely source of the attacks, remnants of the weapons used and medical records of victims.
"The evidence concerning the type of rockets and launchers used in these attacks strongly suggests that these are weapon systems known and documented to be only in the possession of, and used by, Syrian government armed forces," Human Rights Watch said.
"Human Rights Watch and arms experts monitoring the use of weaponry in Syria have not documented Syrian opposition forces to be in possession of the 140mm and 330mm rockets used in the attack, or their associated launchers." The chemical weapons attack near Damascus on August 21 killed more than 1,400 people. Syria has been torn by a bitter civil conflict between Al Assad's troops and rebel forces who want to end the Al Assad family's four-decade rule.
The Human Rights Watch report comes as the United States pushes for congressional approval for military strikes on Syria and as US President Barack Obama explores a Russian proposal to put Syria's chemical weapons under international control.
Obama has argued that Al Assad must be punished for the use of poison gas on rebel areas, but his plan faces significant resistance from US lawmakers who are worried that a strike could draw the US into the conflict and spark wider conflicts in the Middle East.
Al Assad, in an interview on the US CBS television network, denied there was any evidence to link his government to the gas attack and warned the United States to expect reprisals for any military strike on his country.
Human Rights Watch said it also investigated suggestions the chemical attacks came from opposition forces.
"Human Rights Watch has investigated alternative claims that opposition forces themselves were responsible for the August 21 attacks, and has found such claims lacking in credibility and inconsistent with the evidence found at the scene."

Officials: Storms make Washington drought unlikely
So much rain and snow has fallen across Washington state in recent weeks that there's little chance of a statewide drought being declared this year, water supply experts said Monday.
Associated Press
So much rain and snow has fallen across Washington state in recent weeks that there's little chance of a statewide drought being declared this year, water supply experts said Monday.
"The worries are over for now," said Dan Partridge, a spokesman for the state Department of Ecology. "Right now, snowpack and stream-flow figures and all the indicators make it pretty certain that we won't have to worry about any kind of statewide drought."
The agency convened a group of federal and state officials in February after a relatively dry start to the winter raised concerns about a possible statewide drought. The group met last week and plan to meet again in May.
While a statewide drought declaration isn't likely, water supply experts say they're still closely watching dry pockets, including in Lincoln, Douglas and Okanogan counties, where low soil moisture levels could still present headaches for agriculture.
"We're in good shape on the west side" of the state, state climatologist Nick Bond said, adding, "We're still keeping an eye on the east side."
The state relies on mountain snowpack to supply water for drinking, irrigation, fish migration, power generation and other needs through the year.
The relatively dry start to the winter and lower-than-average snowpack had many worried about drought potential. But a parade of storms in February deluged the state, especially west of the Cascade Mountains.
For example, in one 10-day period, Stevens Pass received 10 feet of snow, according to the National Weather Service. And one spot in the Lewis River Basin measured about 23 inches of rain last month, according to the Natural Resources Conservation Service.
"We should feel very fortunate that we've got rain at low elevation and snow at high elevation in the last month. That really has bailed us," Bond said. "If that hadn't happened, we'd be looking at the kind of (drought) problems that California has."
On February 1, the statewide average snowpack readings were at 55 percent of normal, though basins across the state varied. By March 1, the statewide average readings were about 89 percent of normal.
"That's a pretty significant jump in snowpack," said Larry Johnson, state conservation engineer with the Natural Resources Conservation Service.
The state last declared drought emergencies in 2005 and 2001.

Somewhere in middle school, I had convinced myself that I was bad at math. It was okay: My mom was bad at math too. So were lots of people I looked up to. "Bad at math" was a thing — probably even genetic — and it was okay.
I so thoroughly convinced myself that I was bad at math that I very nearly didn't graduate from high school. It took tutors and hours a week to squeak through an advanced algebra class my friends had all breezed through on their way to much harder classes.
But it was okay. I was bad at math. They weren't. Simple as that.
And it was all a lie.
"Bad at math" is a lie you tell yourself to make failure at math hurt less. That's all it is. Professors Miles Kimball and Noah Smith wrote in The Atlantic that many of us faced a moment in our lives where we entered a math class that some of us were prepared for and some of us weren't. Those that got it right away were "good at math" and those who didn't, well, weren't. Or so we believed. Those who were good kept working to stay good, and those of us who were bad at it believed the lie.
Now, Kimball and Smith write that bad at math is "the most self-destructive idea in America today."
Well, Professors Kimball and Smith, welcome to journalism, where "bad at math" isn't just a destructive idea — it's a badge of honor. It's your admission to the club. It's woven into the very fabric of identity as a journalist.
And it's a destructive lie. One I would say most journalists believe. It's a lie that may well be a lurking variable in the death of journalism's institutions.
Name me a hot growth area in journalism and I'll show you an area in desperate need of people who can do a bit of math. Data. Programming. Visualization. It's telling that most of the effort now is around recruiting people from outside journalism to do these things.
But it doesn't end there. Name me a place where journalism needs help, and I'll show you more places where math is a daily need: analytics, product development, market analysis. All "business side" jobs, right? Not anymore.
Truth is, "bad at math" was never a good thing in journalism, even when things like data and analytics weren't a part of the job. Covering a city budget? It's shameful how many newsroom creatures can't calculate percent change. Covering sports? It's embarrassing how many sports writers dismiss the gigantic leaps forward in data analysis in all sports as "nerd stuff."
In short, we've created a culture where ignorance of a subject is not only accepted, it's glorified. Ha ha! Journalists are bad at math! Fire is hot and water is wet too!
I'm not going to tell you how to get good at math by giving you links to online materials or MOOCs or whatever. I'm not. You can Google. You should do that. No, I'm going to tell you a story.
Through grit and luck and a Hail Mary pass of a grade on a final exam, I did graduate from high school. And in 1993 I went to the University of Nebraska-Lincoln, where the College of Journalism and Mass Communications at the time said the curricular equivalent of "Math? Why the hell do you need math?" I thought this was great. No math? I must be in heaven.
Twenty years later, I'm now a professor in that same journalism school that let me skip out of math. We don't do that anymore, but our math requirements are pretty thin and universally reviled by students, most of whom would say they're bad at math. As a professor, I can take classes for free. And it's abundantly obvious to me that journalism's problems aren't with journalism — they're about money. Where does one go to learn about money? Business school.
So I thought I would get an MBA to better understand the business side of journalism. I walked over to the business college and told them I wanted to do this. "Have you had calculus as an undergrad?" Oh. Uh, no. "Have to have it. It's an admission requirement."
So almost two decades to the day that I set foot on campus, there I was, taking a math placement exam. This exam is given to all incoming freshmen to determine which math class they should start with. I took it and could barely read the questions. If they had given me a grade, I would have bombed it. I tested straight into a remedial math class for students who didn't get enough in high school. Congrats, Math Department: Your test nailed it.
I probably could have crammed and watched Khan Academy videos for hours, taken it again, and landed in a higher math class. But I would have felt like I cheated my way in. And that would have been terrifying. So, I took the class. Math 100A. Just a 37-year-old professor and 30 or so 18-year-old freshmen. Totally normal; I didn't stick out at all. The instructor was in first grade when I was last in a math class. She asked me what I was doing there. Told her my story. Her reaction: She was bad at math too, until she got to college. Now, she's getting a Ph.D. in it.
Given all that, I lived in absolute terror that I wouldn't do well. I sat in the front row. I asked questions non-stop. I did all the homework. I did extra practice problems. I raised my hand to answer questions so much the instructor asked me to stop. I studied for hours.
And I got an A+. I was shocked. And elated. In spite of the fact that I'm a grownup and should get an A in a remedial course, I was pumped up. I can't remember my last A in math.
On to the next class. Math 101: College Algebra. Just the name gave me chills. I could barely pass high school algebra; how the hell was I going to handle college algebra? Here I was, a grown man with a family and a house and a job and a resume, sweating bullets and losing sleep about a class freshmen take.
Same plan, same result: Work hard, get A+.
I'm halfway through calculus this semester. I have never in my life worked this hard in a class. I've never sat awake at night worrying about a class like I have tossing and turning thinking about how to calculate the derivative of something. I can go speak in front of 1,000 people with less than five minutes of preparation and be downright calm compared to the feeling I have going to take a test.
Right now, I've got a B+. And if I walk out of there with it, it'll easily be the most proud of a grade I'll ever have been.
Why? Because at this level, I'm seeing the consequences of how a student approaches math. On each test, the median score has been around a high F or a low D. The last test saw more than half the class fail. It's brutal. Of the 111 students in the class, I'm guessing 70 of them will be taking it again.
The only advantage I have over my classmates? I know exactly how to fail at math: Don't put any effort in. Blow it off. Do something else. A glass of wine and a rerun of Big Bang Theory kicks the crap out of applications of extrema using derivatives, even if you hate wine and loathe Big Bang Theory.
But that's the lesson I've learned: The difference between good at math and bad at math is hard work. It's trying. It's trying hard. It's trying harder than you've ever tried before. That's it.
So do me a favor: Try. Stop with the jokes. Stop telling me, "Oh, I could never do that" when you ask me about math. Because it's not true. You can. If you try.
You can be good at math.

LED Twig Tree with Snow 1 1
Disappointing I purchased the medium sized tree. I am very disappointed in the quality of construction. The tree is not connected to the base well. It is wobbly and loose. I had to glue it to the base hoping to increase stability. The tree leans at an angle about half way up and I'm afraid to bend it too much, it's fragile. I am also not sure how well it will last being folded and unfolded year after year. It's a Charlie Brown tree, a little pathetic. November 9, 2014

5 Thanksgiving Myths Debunked — Pilgrims Didn't Wear Buckles? (And More)
Thanksgiving, which we've been celebrating in America for centuries now, is a time of family, food and, especially, tradition. Even so, many of the stories we take as gospel about this wonderful holiday—wonderful if you're not endlessly bickering with your relatives, that is—aren't true at all.

BA Midseason Top 50: Injury Can't Knock Buxton From No. 1

boy has jimmy nelson shot up the ranks2. Dag is a salt water fish in fresh water world Posted: July 07, 2014 at 06:22 PM (#4745604)
i like marco estrada, but i do think the analysts who insist that estrada and nelson have equivalent value for the remainder of the season are dead wrong.
nelson would outperform marco over the next dozen starts (and beyond). too much stuff and the advantage of working in pitcher's park at home and with lucroy grabbing him extra strikes.
In case anyone cares:3. Steve Balboni's Personal Trainer Posted: July 07, 2014 at 06:31 PM (#4745608)
There are eight teams with no prospects listed: Rays, White Sox, Tigers, A's, Angels, Marlins, Braves, and Giants.
There are six teams with one prospect listed: Yankees, Astros, Mariners, Nationals, Brewers, and Cardinals.
There are nine teams with two prospects listed: Orioles, Red Sox, Blue Jays, Indians, Rangers, Phillies, Reds, Rockies, and Padres.
There are four teams with three prospects listed: Royals, Mets, Diamondbacks, and Dodgers.
There is one team with four prospects listed: Cubs
There are two teams with five prospects listed: Twins, and Pirates.
Another way of doing this -- give 50 points for the club with he #1 prospect, 49 points for #2, and so on down to one point for #50. By that way, here's how the teams shake out (broken up into groups of five to make it a little easier to follow):
157 Cubs
156 Twins
106 Dodgers
95 Pirates
73 Red Sox
66 Royals
64 Rockies
61 Diamondbacks
61 Orioles
54 Indians
53 Reds
53 Rangers
48 Astros
46 Mets
44 Padres
40 Nationals
30 Blue Jays
29 Phillies
17 Yankees
13 Brewers
5 Mariners
2 Cardinals
Cubs have 3 of the top 7 prospects. (Which is to say, their third best prospect ranks higher than any other NL's teams best prospect. The Dodgers have 3 of the top 20. Houston only has one - but it #3 overall.
Quick note: In the comments section of this article, the authors say that if Mookie Betts (Boston) hadn't been called up last week, he would have been #12 overall. It is totally possible Betts will be back in AAA in a few weeks, so he narrowly misses the ranking on both sides of the publication...4. Walt Davis Posted: July 07, 2014 at 06:56 PM (#4745619)
They don't seem very concerned about injuries with position players. Buxton is hurt and remains #1. Correa has a broken leg and is #3. Russell is just off a hamstring injury and is #5 (hamstring and SS sounds like a bad combo, I hope it doesn't become chronic). Sano is at #9 although missing the season with TJS. Pitcher at #10 coming off TJS, one at #12 had an "elbow injury", #19 having elbow and shoulder issues.
I suppose though that if a lot of top prospects have injury issues, you don't have many choices of folks to move ahead of them.
