glad to see most of them are a long while ago!
Some of those first names are particularly unusual to be honest. I wonder if those names were funny when they were alive, or are us 21st century folk just malicious?
It still goes on; on Radio 4 there is a presented called Jo King - makes me laugh every time I hear it!
I have a friend who no word of a lie has 7 middle names, one of which is McClean.
Apparently his dad only wanted one son, so he got all the possible names. Always makes me laugh if he ever has to give his full name for anything.
I have a friend called Joanne King or Jo King LOL
When we went to register the birth of our son (now 3), the registrar told us about a couple in the previous week registering their baby girl.
I can't remember all of the 10 names, however two of them: Ocean Whatever...
The year before that poor child the same couple registered a boy with 10 names all taken from Knight Rider.
Their reason? "because you have to have a laugh don't you"
My brother is going oput with a girl who has a kid called Chelsea... God help her if she takes his name! It'll sound like a football match (Chelsea Charlton!!!)
One of my P.E. teachers was genuinely called Richard Head... shocking stuff!
Continuing on the odd [anti-social?] names for your little ones I had the unfortunate experience of coming across these forenames for students while working for another LEA:
1: Bedspring
2: Beerbottle
There may have been others but upon seeing these I was determined that I should not remember any more. I would not have believed it had I not seen it for myself.
Unfortunatley these two have stayed with me all these years.
A friend of mine has a name which abbreviates to: Dick Willy Lang. Always a good one after a few at the pub.

St. Tammany fishing pier damaged by Isaac will reopen Saturday
With repairs to damage caused by Hurricane Isaac completed, the St. Tammany fishing pier in Slidell will reopen on Saturday.

Repairs were paid for through the Federal Emergency Management Agency and the Louisiana Tourism Recovery Program funded by BP PLC.
Pier hours will be 6 a.m.-5p.m. daily. There is a fee to use the pier.

Clean Well and Live Well This Halloween (Photo Contest)
Health. Fun. Family.
Halloween is serious business at SmugMug. Every year, we dress up our families and pets and face off in an epic Halloween costume-contest. Some costumes are amazing…
…while others are downright scary…
We do it because it's fun and because our kids love the chance to play dress up and splurge on treats. Heck, don't we all? This year, leave the scary stuff to the costumes and haunted houses and make sure that before you dig into your sweet swag, your and your kiddos' hands are germ-free.
Keep it Clean with CleanWell's Halloween Contest
Like SmugMug, CleanWell is a business founded by a family. It got its start around 10 years ago when a boy, Conor, was born with an immune system disorder. His father, Sam, started investigating alternatives to disinfecting agents found in everyday cleaning products. They eventually created a patented formula that kills germs naturally.
This Halloween, we've partnered with CleanWell to give you some cool ways of sharing your spooky, sweet, and awesome Halloween moments and cleaning up before you and the little ones enjoy some treats. They're taking the lead on this photo contest, so pop on over to their page to find out how you can win one of 5 prize packages of SmugMug memberships, print credit, and cool CleanWell goodies to keep those hands candy, dirt and alcohol free.

SmugVault Pricing Falls Further
We've once again slashed SmugVault pricing to the floor.
This news comes soon after we upped the limit on your video files. Since big files and archiving go hand in hand, we thought it'd be nice to make it cheaper than ever to backup your original videos in your SmugVault.
Here's the spiel:
- We dropped the storage fees from $.14/GB/month to $.125/GB/month – that's cheaper than what you'd get through Amazon S3!
- We nuked uploading fees to your Vault. Zip. Zilch. Nada.
- Downloading from the Vault back to your computer is now just $.12/GB, not $.16/GB.
- SmugVaults can hold files up to 3 GB apiece, in virtually any format.
We've said it a lot, but Amazon S3 is the gold standard in internet storage and they're the brawn behind SmugVault. Anything you archive in your Vault has 99.999999999% durability. In other words, if you store 10,000 files in your SmugVault, on average, we'll lose just one every 10 million years.
Think you'll live that long?
You can view Amazon's Simple Storage Service pricing here.
Set Your SmugVault Settings
Also remember that we do process all display copies of your SmugMug videos and we don't store your unprocessed original video files in your SmugVault until you enable it. So make sure you open your SmugVault settings and choose "Archive Videos" to take advantage of the safest backup imaginable.
Finally, keep in mind that any files you archive in your SmugVault are visible (and retrievable) just to you, the logged-in account owner.
Fire, flood, ninja attacks… there's a million reasons why we love SmugVault and think it's way safer than keeping files on your computer.

Publish to Your Facebook Business Pages, Too
What's new with Publish to Facebook?
We've had some great feedback from Smuggers about the Publish to Facebook feature that we debuted a little while back. The number one request we heard from you was that you wanted to publish not only to personal sites, but to business pages, too. Your clients need to see the good stuff.
Hey, guess what? :)
Publish To Your Facebook Page:
If you're new to our beta features, first check out SmugMug's Darkroom:

Make a new gallery for your photos, or just use an existing one.
Remember that you can choose up to 200 images from your SmugMug gallery to publish. If it's a lot of photos we'll publish them in the background and shoot you an email once it's done.
Stay Safe, Secure and Sellable.
"Safety" is our middle name. You'll be asked to set the maximum image size before you publish, and everything links back to your SmugMug gallery so fans will know it's you. We'll also include any watermarks you've applied to your photos.

A New Chapter in Photo Book Ideas: Notebooks, Planners and more
Today we're having our good friends at Blurb share a few of their hottest gift ideas for the coming holiday season. You know Blurb as those peeps who bring you easy, affordable, beautiful photo books. If you haven't, check them out now! They make your SmugMug images totally shelfworthy.
Keep the Pages Turning With Useful Gifts
Smart photographers know how to get their photos in peoples' hands. As the gift-giving season approaches and you're looking for that special present, know that there are lots of great, useful alternatives to the traditional photo book out there… and you can easily make them using your SmugMug photos and Blurb:
Use Blurb BookSmart® to design a custom Notebook filled with your photos and blank, gridded, or lined paper. In addition to paper choices, you can order them in Hardcover, Softcover, or Hardcover ImageWrap to complete the look. They're as little as $6.95 for a 20-page softcover.
Weekly Planners
Use Blurb BookSmart® and make a weekly planner using our custom planner templates for 2012. Each month gets an image, plus you can customize the front and back cover. You can even add extra pages in the back for notes or more photos. At 131 pages, they start at $23.95 for a softcover.
Small gift books
Our Small Square (7×7-inch) size is a perfectly portable size for a photo book. Compact, but still big enough to showcase your work. These start at $10.95 for a 20-page softcover.
Personalized books
The ultimate personalized gift. Since you can order just a single copy of a book with Blurb, you can add dedications and make books with specific photos for just one person. Using our online Blurb Bookify™ tool, you can easily pull in your SmugMug photos and make as many dedications as you wish.

Plus Ten to Proof Delay
We made Proof Delay a heck of a lot smarter.
In the old days, your clients would sometimes order prints cropped a certain way, and when you replaced it with an edited photo of a different shape it wouldn't always work out so well. Heroes to the rescue and everything, but, yanno.
And if you replaced the image with something that was shaped the same, there wasn't a way to remember exactly how they'd had it cropped in the first place.
We've fixed all that.
How it works.
Pros, the very next time you get a cropped order held for Proof Delay, don't fret. We'll now do the following:
1) Show you the exact same crop your client used if you replace the photo with an edited version of the same shape and size.
2) Show you a thumbnail of the original image with the crop when you replace the photo with one that's a different shape and size.
3) Display the thumbnail with the original image and crop when you go in and try to adjust the crop on a replaced image of a different size.
We hope this makes your life a whole lot easier and that your customers don't notice a thing. Except, of course, how much they love their prints and what a great photographer you are.
The Magic of Proof Delay
Remember that using this simple feature in all of your for-sale galleries can help you upload your proofs to your gallery ASAP, and let you only edit the photos that get bought. Plus, if there are any problems with the order, our Support Heroes have a gazillion times' higher chance of being able to cancel, fix, or correct the problem before your customer even notices.
We can't stress enough just how cool the Proof Delay feature really is. It saves you time AND helps you give your clients a better product. And it comes baked right in to each and every SmugMug Pro account.
Questions? Suggestions? Epic tales of how Proof Delay saved your bumme? We'd love to hear it all, so talk to us!
Bonus Pro tips for you:
Winners of our Perfect Pairs Photo Contest with Bay Photo Lab
Why a contest?
We teamed up with the good folks at Bay Photo Lab this fall to kick off a contest asking photographers to submit photos representing the theme of a perfect pair — two things that go splendidly together. SmugMug and Bay Photo are like peanut butter and jelly, ying and yang, aperture and ISO. We love Bay's hand color correction and their crazy-in-a-good-way devotion to making the best dang prints out there. They love our seamless integration, fanatical devotion to making sure your photos look the best in our galleries and prints, and 100% guaranteed customer service. We guess you can say we're the perfect pair for picky pros whose reputations depend on us.
Photographers from all over heard our call and submitted almost 2000 shots. The time has come to announce who the winners are, and we couldn't be more tickled to have another reason to shout to the world how much we heart Bay Photo Lab and the awesome customers we get to work with on a daily basis. Winners of the Perfect Pairs Photo Contest were picked by a group of Judges from Bay Photo Lab and SmugMug based on their editorial discretion and your votes.
Here's what we decided.
"Steam Runners" by Ric Cederholm of Waunakee, WI
We love this photo because it's two friends having the time of their lives. The shot captures a playful and fun moment that makes us long for the days we could run with our hands in the air, hollering with joy (sure, we can do it as grown ups too, but it's definitely cuter when kids do it). What's better than running in the sun with the mist in your face? Maybe unwrapping your first MetalPrint. Maybe.
Ric, if you're watching, you get:
- 5 free years of SmugMug Pro ($750 value, not including bragging rights)
- $500 Print Credit to world class Bay Photo Lab
- Photo credit in major national and tradeshow advertising, including WPPI
"Coordination" by Marc Benjamin of Fairfield, CA
This shot shows the power, elegance, and artistry that can be created when two powerhouses come together. The striking contrast stopped us in our tracks, and the poetry of these dancers forms entwined in the air sealed the deal for us.
Marc gets:
- 4 free years of SmugMug Pro ($600 value)
- $300 Print Credit to Bay Photo Lab
"Relationship Stability" by Jesse Rather of Arcata, CA
Talk about a photo that makes you look twice. Managing a business and serving your customers is a fine balance of impeccable quality, dedication and fun, and we thought this photo channeled that feeling well. To top it off, the quirkiness, beauty, and humor made us smile. Thanks, Jesse!
Jesse won:
- 2 free years of SmugMug Pro ($300 value)
- $200 Print Credit to Bay Photo Lab
"The Polar Pair" by JP Diroll of Pittsburgh, PA
A bit surreal, a bit Planet Earth. It's hard enough to resist such childlike interplay in the animal world, but drop the fuzzies into a sun-streaked pool of the deepest blue and you have double the win.
JP wins:
- 1 Free year of SmugMug Pro ($150)
- $100 Print Credit to world class printer Bay Photo Lab
"Girls Just Wanna Have Fun" by Rachelle Elliott of Wymore, NE
Rub-a-dub-dub, two cuties in a tub. Parents, watch out: They're already winning hearts!
Rachelle wins:
- 1 Free year of SmugMug Pro ($150)
- $50 Print Credit to world class printer Bay Photo Lab
Thanks. We Mean It.
We we really blown away by the enthusiastic response to this contest and totally felt the love. Thanks again to everyone who entered their photos and shared their vision of "The Perfect Pair!"

A Christmas Night Market for Margate presented by Thanet Farmers' Market and Margate Town Team. Featuring local festive food and drink, live music and fairy lights!
Hot food and drinks also available. Come and do some last minute Christmas shopping and stock up with delicious local goodies.
Now with late night night store opening throughout lower AND upper High Street and adjoining streets.
19th December 2014, 5pm-9pm, Lower High St and Piazza. http://kfma.org.uk/Thanet
Welcome to the Margate Town Team website. The Margate Town Team was formed in May 2012. The team currently consists of 12 local people who volunteer their time to help lobby the local authority, promote and organise events, work with organisations to bring in footfall, to increase occupancy and provide a place for people to work, shop and relax.
The Margate Town Team has a clearly defined set of objectives that were specified in the original Mary Portas bid. However, the aims of the Town Team go beyond the remit of the Portas bid and therefore its objectives include these but are not limited to them. The Town Team has four overarching strategic aims:
1. To create a vibrant attractive high street through developing a food and arts culture
2. To create an identity for Margate that builds on its original heritage
3. To regenerate Margate through partnership working
4. To secure additional funding to sustain the work of the group indefinitely
The 'Pushing Print' event in Margate on Saturday 06 September has to be considered one of the highlights of Margate's 'Summer of Colour'. The vintage Steam Roller steadily wending its way down king Street, along the Seafront into the High Street. The chuffing and whistling sounds of a bygone era definitely attracted attention from visitors and locals alike. Groups of volunteers led by the 'Pushing Print' provided the paints and materials for some great printed images. It was wonderful to see not only the children but also the adults engaging in showcasing the vibrant 'Mondrian' colours and images in Margate. A great afternoon of fun and smiles.
The event was part funded by the Margate Town Team. The Margate Town Team would like to thank the 'Pushing Print' group along with their other partners for putting in the work and providing additional funding to create this event. Additional thanks to those who took part in producing the Artwork. It looked great. It was particularly pleasing to see the children's faces when their names were called out and their own prints were exhibited. We're very much looking forward to next years 'Pushing Print' event. Make sure you look out for it next summer.
The 'Old Town's' provision' of independent café's, bars and restaurants along with its mix of boutiques, men's outfitters, specialist gift shops, privately owned galleries the beautiful beach and the European standard bathing waters provide a great day out for both residents and visitors.
The momentum continues up the high street with a newly built terraced Hotel, a vintage lounge bar with frequent musical and dance performances, great Coffee shops and dare it be said more exciting places to eat.
Whilst Margate continues to be seen as a traditional seaside town with fruit machine arcades, 'Wimpy' (Yes Margate is one of the few towns in the UK that still has a 'Wimpy') and local pubs it must be recognised that innovation is still at its heart. It has allowed many to take their first tentative steps in making their own business work. This is evident in Margate Town Team's support for 'Pop-up – Margate. The Mary Portas investment has seen creativity and inspiration pave the way for those enterprising individuals to take on premises in their own right. Pop-Up- Margate is a surprising eclectic mix of retail units including Jewelry, handbags, soft furnishings, Baby and toddler toys and clothing, celebratory gift 'cakes' and even a 'micro' photographic studio. All this with an accompanying café for a quick 'cuppa' and cake to finish the shopping experience. In addition many small independents have chosen to make Margate home including photographic imagery from Mark Sutton, boutique fashions from Lisa Parsons and Violet Prigg's own coffee house in the High Street. Margate has to be a point of serious consideration for any new business or those seeking to expand.
As Margate goes from strength to strength so does the investment from the business community along with statutory and voluntary sectors. There are few places better to start a business. There are still premises available in the heart of the Town just waiting for the right person to come in and succeed with their dream. Estate agents and private landlords can be flexible in agreeing terms and with rental or rates reduction subject to agreed terms, Margate must be worth a second look.
Not ready to fully take the leap? If you're a little uncertain over full commitment to your own enterprise why not apply for a space in 'Pop-Up – Margate. An opportunity to 'test the water' and see if you can make your own business work. Once again minimal cost rental and low cost overheads mean that risks are low.
Visit, work - LIVE in Margate.

-------------------- Sun, sea, sand and shopping. A great way to spend your Saturday. As the sun goes down, why not avoid the preparation and wash up of stay at home cooking. Eat in Margate. A vast selection of restaurants and cafe's to suit your taste and your pocket.
Summer 2014
Margate is having an amazing summer. Glorious weather, Great Carnival, Weekend of Soul, live bands playing in venues across the town, Turner Contemporary's 'Summer of Colour' and Super (Musical Saturdays. What makes it even better is that there is still a few weeks left to enjoy what's on offer. Last minute trip before the children return to school.
The Sandy beaches stretching for miles and European standard bathing waters mean there's little excuse for not taking the time to relax in the sun.
For those who see relaxation through culture and history, take in the Margate Museum www.visitthanet.co.uk/attractions/margate-museum/8635 , the Shell Grotto www.shellgrotto.co.uk or Turner Contemporary www.turnercontemporary.org
While you here make the most of the selection of retro furniture shops and clothing boutiques. Mix that with some of the usual high street shops, small independent retailers and bookshops there truly is something for everyone.
What's more Margate is fast developing an attractive 'Café Culture' which means it's the ideal place to meet friends or enjoy with family. Take in the beautiful shoreline from a balcony view or from the beach from well decorated balconies to the outside eating areas on the Piazza. Tea, Coffee, Wine or Beer, Sandwich, Salad, Gastro pub, Restaurant meal or traditional Fish and Chips – all available throughout the town.
A day spent in Margate is certainly a day well spent.
Margate Town Team CALLS ON RESIDENTS TO SUPPORT THE HIGH STREET
Margate Town Team has lined up a summer of activities and promotions including live music, free face painting and special offers from retailers to celebrate Margate's Summer of Colour, and is calling on residents to rediscover their local high street and show their support.
Margate Town Team hopes that the events will encourage residents to shop locally, rather than doing all of their shopping with big-name supermarkets, online, or at out-of-town centres.
Margate Town Team aims to raise awareness of thousands of local businesses and increase footfall into town centres, helping retailers to stay open for business, and to reduce the number of empty shops on the high street.
Kent Rural Retail Adviser & Director of Margate Town team CIC, Sharon Davies, said: "...... a really important time for shops and is a fantastic national campaign which aims to raise awareness of independent shops, we're calling on shoppers to come along and see what Margate has to offer ....... all year round!
"The number of empty shops on British high streets has hit an all-time high this year, and the only way to stop that happening is for people to visit them, and support them. While many people do shop for convenience online, or at one-stop centres, there's no substitute for great customer service and that sense of community that comes with shopping close to home, and we want to remind people of that.
Sharon Davies continued: "from June 28th through to 6th September, Margate town team will be launching Super Saturdays to show shoppers that Margate has something a little different to offer that they won't find at the supermarket. Customers can enjoy live (see dates and times below) , free face painting and other family based activities to encourage people to linger longer in Margate
"We're hoping that all the retailers in the area will take part in Super Saturdays and organise their own events so that, between us, we can help restore a thriving high street to Margate, and make it the hub it once was."

antique black forest antler chair ca. 1900
an antique black forest antler armchair, made of horns from the deer and fallow deer. decorated with a carved horn rose. executed ca. 1900. new upholstered seat with artificial zebra skin.
Trophies of the chase have been used to decorate log cabins and hunting lodges for many a long years. Antlers and stuffed heads mounted on walls where the first hunting objects used to fashion homes. A hunting lodge replete with antlers and stuffed animals may probably have been the place where the first ideas for antler furnishings came up. Antler furniture are furniture which are either manufactured completely from e. g. stag antlers, or furniture which are decorated with antler pieces from the stag, deer, fallow deer... or veneered with sliced antler pieces to get a hunting design. Antler furniture are in addition often decorated with carved horn roses, wild boar tusks and horns from the ibex or chamois.

No Sign Of Etan Patz As SoHo Basement Search Comes To An End
Investigators have wrapped up their dig at the SoHo site, where they had hoped to find the remains of Etan Patz, the 6-year-old who vanished without a trace in May of 1979, just steps from his home.
As the search concludes, officials revealed that no remains were found. A concrete slab that contained what many believed was a blood stain has reportedly been deemed negative.
Among the items that were gathered from the site include strands of hair, a piece of paper and other pieces of forensic evidence.
FBI agents and NYPD officers began their dig in the SoHo basement at 127B Prince Street Thursday.
The Patz family was reportedly briefed on the situation. No immediate statement was released by the family.Copyright © 2014, Orlando Sentinel

Alright, slackers. It's crunch time. If you're STILL scrounging for a Halloween costume, I've got one more party to share with you, The Batman Dance Party!
For Batman's 75th Anniversary, local comic shop Vault of Midnight threw a big bash at The Pyramid Scheme. It was also an attempt to break the world record for most Batmans (Batmen?) in one location. The event was a huge success, and a blast to see unfold. Especially with AB providing the soundtrack. Yes, he played Prince.

The ABC series "Scandal" returns from a long hiatus with its "spring premiere" at 10 p.m. Thursday and I am sure you are dying for some scoop about what will happen.
But the network has offered one of the least revealing episode descriptions ever. It says, in total: "The White House deals with a bombshell announcement from Sally Langston. Meanwhile, Olivia finds herself in a challenging new role."
A bombshell announcement? Could it be about Sally killing her closeted gay husband? Or could Sally have found out something about Olivia's spymaster father– or Liv's apparently terrorist mother? Should Liv be calling Huck – or Fitz – or Cyrus? Is B613 involved? How much crazier can it all get?
Pretty crazy, based on the run of "Scandal" to date. It has consistently been a show where nearly anything is possible, where no act is too implausible, and no character is free of corruption when it serves his or her self-interest. While series creator Shonda Rhimes has had other shows, notably "Grey's Anatomy," "Scandal's" eagerness to embrace any rapidly moving, OMG plot turn – along with a fearless refusal to be bound by realism – made it Rhimes' masterwork.
But as deliriously entertaining as "Scandal" can be, it has points to make, starting with it being the rare series – let alone the rare hit – built around an African-American woman, Kerry Washington as Olivia Pope. And Olivia is a successful, modern, independent woman, a leader in everything except matters of the heart.
The series has also asked a lot of questions about how far Americans should go in the name of security, and the dehumanizing effects of acts such as torture.
Cynical view of politics
But its biggest, and in many ways most disturbing, point may be its utterly cynical view of politics. While Rhimes has said she has seen every episode of "The West Wing" at least five times, "Scandal" is largely the opposite of that show. "The West Wing" had a certain idealism, especially when it came to what its characters believed, while the people of "Scandal" think they are principled but commit terrible acts, often in the name of self-preservation.
In a real world in which every side in political debate is prepared to assign the worst motives to the other side, "Scandal" says everyone is right, that politics is just as bitter and awful as you imagine. So even as you are wondering what will happen in Olivia's love life, "Scandal" merrily satisfies the most cynical of viewing appetites.

In the "Entourage Bungalow" at the brand-new W South Beach, fans of the TV series can make like Vince, Ari, Turtle and other members of movie-star Vince's posse. It's a partnership with HBO, and the suite is due to be available at least till Sept. 27.
Here's what you get for your $5,000 nightly: A bungalow pimped out with poster of the cast, roof deck and two bedrooms. One even has a video camera on a tripod (next stop, YouTube); a limo to and from the Miami airport; golf foursome; your own cabana with drinks and food; VIP access and bottle service at the hotel's WALL club; private cruise; a reservation at the W's basketball court and more.
Adrian Grenier (Vince) and other cast members just inaugurated the upscale cottage. A max of four can rent it, so that's $1,250 each nightly before tax. There's a two-night minimum. Worth it?
Anyone want to share their best boys' getaway: say to the Palms in Vegas, where you can rent a suite with bowling lane or basketball court? Or just a good time at a budget motel?

PLEASE NOTE: If you are not yet pregnant click here to check out one of our other pregnancy communities.
I am not looking for advice (I got the baby checked out at hospital shortly afterward and he seems to be in perfect health, as always, and three days later I still feel completely normal with normal kicking and not a drop of blood or any abdominal pains - there was no abdominal impact), but I am wondering if pregnancy could possibly have had any positive effect on either reducing the severity of injury (possibly a less rigid body would be better to absorb an impact?) or accelerating healing before usual swelling sets in (perhaps due to increased blood volume?) or is it more likely that pregnancy had no impact and that I feel the same as I would have if I had not been pregnant? I am just really surprised that I wasn't thoroughly sore this weekend.
Whenever I try to search potential benefits of pregnancy while sustaining an injury, all I get are results about all the ways pregnancy makes everything worse (e.g. relaxin making joints more susceptible to injury, not less) and I can't seem to find any discussion or research exploring potential benefits. It seems that there would be an evolutionary advantage to having some adaptive defense to abuse during pregnancy given the prevalence of domestic abuse during pregnancy. If you can point me towards any research addressing this question, I'd be very interested.
Thanks!View Thread

A few weeks ago like about 3-6 weeks in between those times i've been having unprotected sex, i was just wondering if these symptoms where because I'm due to start my period or if they could be pregnancy symptoms. I also should have mentioned i recently was on the pill and came off about a month ago so i haven't had a natural period in awhile.
I'm also worried it could be a sign of miscarriage since i have been going on roller coasters from my holiday.xView Thread
As of today, I am on cycle day 40. I have no symptoms of AF coming, like I would usually, but on cycle day 37 I started seeing pinkish/brownish spotting only whenever I wipe. That night I put on a pad for bedtime, just incase, but in the morning there was nothing. I only see the spotting whenever I wipe. And sometimes there is NOTHING there. I've been reading and researching, and I see all types of reasons, etc. Its beginning to get overwhelming and confusing.
I talked to my husband about it yesterday, and he wants to wait until next Friday to test, which will mean I would be at cycle day 47 by then. I don't really want to wait until then. I guess I just wanted to get some other opinions, and see what others think from experience, expertise, etc.
Thanks in advance for any comments at all.
Oh -- I almost forgot, I thought it was weird that both my husband and I have been having dreams that I was pregnant, even before the spotting ever came up. I know our bodies are crazy sometimes, but how weird is that?View Thread
I planning to get pregnant in few months (4 to 6 months), is it ok if i use a retinoid cream? I heard it is linked to birth defect but i'm not sureView Thread
As anyones body shape changed without gaining weight? People keep telling me they can tell I've gained weight, but I haven't. I've actually lose a pound. So, maybe my body shape is changing.
It is really hurting my feelings that people think I've gained weight and I haven't.View Thread

LA Times IMAGE Section Debut
The newest LA Times section, Image, debuted today, and it's a welcome addition to the other features, once the truly dreadful printing problems are fixed. (The photos in our home-delivery edition weren't just blurry, they were surreally blurry. We actually thought it was a stylistic choice for about 15 seconds.)
Chloe Sevigny is profiled, and while there's nothing much new about her clothes-horse qualities, Rose Apodaca makes it interesting. But an Inside the Closet sidebar needs photos of exactly what's inside–which ankle boots, please.
David Keeps finds a new trend in men's fashion, and takes a couple of hundred words to describe steampunk. Allegedly this combo of Victorian and hooligan pops up on Deadwood, the cancelled HBO series.
Just in time for summer in Southern California, Amy Scattergood has a how-to piece about that cutting edge trend, knitting. Next fall's fashions might feature chunky scarves and sweaters, but a beach wear story might have been more helpful–the last line of the story suggests the look might be outdated by the time a knitter finishes a project.
There are a number of other sort of ho-hum pieces, including a really dense story on the science of skin creams that never came out and said which ones are worth the money.
Adam Tschorn, who's married to fashion critic Booth Moore, wrote some of the liveliest pieces: one on Justin Timberlake's stylist and a step-by step guide to growing a mustache. Both were fun to read–too bad Moore's story about fashion gossip was so stale.
Image is off to a good start. If the Times editors can resist using the same old pool of predictable writers and done-to-death ideas (no stories on couture for kids or little dogs, please), reading about fashion might be as much fun as shopping.

Contemporary artist uses plastic bags in latest project
It may look like a confusing mess, but this hanging, U-shaped blob is actually an art installation that was carefully pieced together using individual, brightly colored plastic bags.
Pascale Marthine Tayou is a contemporary artist from Cameroon who uses commonplace objects in his work, and plastic bags are one of his preferred mediums. Here, he used a huge number of them to make a colorful installation that's on display now at the Macro Museum in Rome through April 1, 2013. At over 30-feet high, Plastic Bags is the centerpiece for Tayou's larger exhibit at Macro called Secret Garden.
I can't imagine the level of patience it would take to build something like this with plastic bags, so that's a feat all by itself, but Tayou's sculpture does hold larger significance: it's a representation of consumerism and homelessness in modern society.

JPMorgan Chase & Co. (JPM:US) and Wells Fargo & Co. (WFC:US), the two most profitable U.S. banks last year, reported first-quarter earnings that topped analysts' estimates on a surge in mortgage fees.
JPMorgan's earnings per share climbed to $1.31 from $1.28 a year earlier, while Wells Fargo posted net income of 75 cents per share, up from 67 cents. Those results beat analysts' estimates (JPM:US) of $1.17 and 73 cents per share, respectively.
Wells Fargo had its highest mortgage banking fees since 2009 and JPMorgan set a record for home-loan production income amid gains from the government's Home Affordable Refinance Program and interest rates that fell to a record low. Both banks benefited from the lowest net charge-offs since the financial crisis as delinquencies fell.
"Mortgage has been pretty strong over the last quarter or so," David George, a bank analyst at Robert W. Baird & Co., said in an interview on Bloomberg Radio's Bloomberg Surveillance. "The mortgage business nationally here in the U.S. has really consolidated and the players that have benefited from that, JPMorgan and Wells Fargo among others, are really going to benefit from that this quarter."
Still, both banks faced higher charges related to mortgage lawsuits and repurchase claims. JPMorgan set aside $2.5 billion more toward its litigation (JPM:US) costs during the first quarter mostly for mortgage-related disputes. Wells Fargo set aside $430 million to cover mortgage repurchase claims, an increase over the $404 million in the fourth quarter.
Fixed Income
Revenue at Wells Fargo climbed 6.4 percent to $21.6 billion, more than the $20.4 billion forecast by analysts. JPMorgan's revenue rose 6 percent to $26.7 billion from $25.2 billion during the first quarter of last year.
Wells Fargo's costs also advanced, with non-interest expenses climbing about 2 percent to $13 billion amid higher compensation and legal spending.
The bank said quarterly costs will fall to $11.25 billion by the end of the year, the high end of Chief Executive Officer John Stumpf's stated goal for reducing expenses to between $10.75 billion and $11.25 billion. Costs will fall by as much as $700 million in the second quarter, the company said.
Retail banking at JPMorgan, which includes home loans and checking accounts, earned $1.75 billion, up from $533 million in the fourth quarter and a loss of $399 million a year earlier. The net interest margin, which measures the profit margin on lending, declined to 2.61 percent from 2.89 percent a year earlier.
Mortgage Business
Demand for loans rose as the unemployment rate fell to 8.2 percent at the end of March from 8.9 percent a year ago. Mortgage originations likely climbed 5.3 percent to $318 billion in the first quarter from the same quarter last year, driven by strong refinance activity, according to the Mortgage Bankers Association.
Revenue at JPMorgan's investment-banking unit didn't match last year's near-record $8.23 billion, falling 11 percent to $7.32 billion. It gained 68 percent from the fourth quarter as financial markets in Europe stabilized. Revenue from fixed- income and equity trading, almost doubled from the fourth quarter and beat estimates from analysts including Atlantic Equities' Richard Staite.
"In the investment bank, you saw very strong flows in the underlying customer businesses in both fixed-income and equity markets," Chief Financial Officer Doug Braunstein said.

I have a stupid, unemployed, 16-year-old gang-bangin' cousin who already dropped out of school, and I'm pretty sure most Mexicans are related to somebody who fits that description. About eight months ago, he knocked up a girl around his age, so last week I was dragged to their extremely festive baby shower. All my relatives were so happy for them; everyone acted like they were relieved he was having a kid. What the hell is wrong with these retards!?
--Perplexed Teen
Dear Wab,
You can thank la Guadalupana that you have just one idiot teen primo; I have muchos (Hola, Omar y José Alfredo!). And, as you correctly surmise, we're not alone. A 2004 study by the Washington, D.C.-based Population Resource Center found that there were 94.5 births per 1,000 Mexican girls between the ages of 15 and 19 in the United States, more than double the national average of 43 births per 1,000 women for the same age group. Latina magazine calls this an "epidemic." Mexicans call it the lottery. Illegal immigrant relatives can use the American-born kid as the first step on the path to citizenship; legalized Mexicans reap the benefits of government programs for poor parents and tax breaks. But before you join the Minutemen to stop this fleecing of American taxpayers, gabachos, consider: With your birthrates falling precipitously, every newborn Mexican ensures that you and your parents can leech off Social Security for a couple of years longer.
Dear Mexican,
I am a gabacho who is dating a spicy little señorita. We're going to Mexico so I can meet her father and his side of the family. I'm a rather alto y flaco fellow, and I wasn't blessed with the dark complexion Mexicans enjoy. I speak some Spanish, but what else can I do to try not to stand out so much in her motherland? I'm already working on growing a mustache, but I don't think that will be enough. I don't have a panza, no sombrero, and authentic Mexican comida is probably going to tear me up. Suggestions?
--Gabacho Flaco en Iowa
Dear Skinny Gabacho in Iowa,
In friendlier times, Mexicans would've greeted your arrival with a hero's welcome, the kind of celebration they rolled out for Pope John Paul II, John Steinbeck or The Three Amigos. You could've strolled through the villages with the haughtiness of a god, raining gold upon peasants and bedding a couple of virgins along the way. See, you and your gabacho amigos are Mexico's lifeblood. Your thirst for cheap immigrant labor, oil and thrills accounts for nearly $40 billion in revenue for Mexico's top three industries--immigrant remittances, oil exports and tourism, respectively--and more than a third of Mexico's GNP. Without your largesse, Mexico would be a Guatemalan backwater. But Mexicans never hear a gracias (an amnesty program would be nice) for holding up our end of the relationship; no, we get barbed-wire fences. Fine. Mi casa no longer es tú casa. We don't dare cut off economic ties with the United States, so we instead take our revenge in Mexico and its American protectorates by treating gabachos with contempt: a bribe here; extra kids in the schools there; a constant stream of imprecations ("pinche puto pendejo baboso") muttered under our collective breath. There's nothing you can do to avoid the hate, Skinny Iowan, so bear with it and don't act surprised when your señorita's family asks if you can smuggle them into el Norte.
Got a spicy question about Mexicans? Ask the Mexican at firstname.lastname@example.com. Include a hilarious pseudonym, por favor, or we'll make one up for you!

Sprint launches a $99.99 'Simply Everything' plan
If you are already an existing Sprint customer, you can switch to the Simply Everything plan without extending your current contract either by contacting Sprint customer service or by stopping by at any participating Sprint store. New customers will require a two-year contract.
If you subscribe your whole family to the Simply Everything plan, Sprint will include an incremental $5 discount for each incremental line, up to five lines on the same bill.
Also today, Sprint announced a $29.5 billion loss for Q4 ($10.36 per share), which included most of the remaining value of its 2005 purchase of Nextel Communications (a year ago the company earned $261 million). The continued loss of customers probably forced the company to announced today's $99.99 Simply Everything plan.

This is Simply Ballin! Im a salesman and I cant wait! Sales are going to fly out the door!
2. rob21i (unregistered)
sure buddy
3. anothersprintrep (unregistered)
I seriously doubt it will help sales. We're gonna be swamped with people wanting to change their plan mid month, then next month swamped with people pissed about Prorated charges.
4. Sprint Rep (unregistered)
I really need this plan because I am a pretty good salesman and I arlready have people ready to get Sprint if we offered something this good.
5. IndirecSRep (unregistered)
Definatly gonna help but good thing we can wave act fees and credit proration charges will help me sell a ton more
6. VZWGal (unregistered)
Sprint needs to focus on improving customer service and fix the never-ending network problems that are both driving customers away in droves. People are GLADLY paying ETF's to get away from Sprint because of the extremely poor experience they have had. A flashy new calling plan won't keep customers. I predict the number of Sprint port-in activations I receive here at VZW will not drop off whatsoever.
7. Read the Fine Print (unregistered)
The continued loss of customers probably forced the company to announced today's $99.99 Simply Everything plan.-Well spoken.
8. SPR (unregistered)
I'm not having any problems at all and customer service may be a problem but the customers can always talk to the people that sold their phone and they'll take care of it. 45 Acts a month and no ETFs in over a year im having no problems.
9. Sprint Rep (unregistered)
I hadn't had any ETF's thats crazy but Sprint does have customer service problems where they out-source your call to Asia which you just have to know the right sprint number to call for help and the in store Sales Reps are going to be a whole lot more helpful anyways. On top of act fee waivers virtual every company that owns anything gets a discount up to 30% off every bill
10. T-HUFF (unregistered)
11. Sprintz Stunna (unregistered)
Yeah the unlimited plan wont help to much, most of the customers are to cheap. I think we fix up the CS and we're good to go. Also marketing needs double what they're doing.
12. celltower (unregistered)
What network problems are you talking about?
13. DeeBee (unregistered)
Lol What a retard...almost a month after they announced the unlimited plan for 119.99 $ now get smacked by others and they are forced to go with 99.99... RETARDS
14. blah (unregistered)
The 119 was a test in the market to see how well it would respond. Dur
15. Brandon (unregistered)
Do any of you understand that simplifying your calling plans will tremendously improve cs?
16. VZW Employee (unregistered)
Wow $99 is a awesome price for unlimited voice, data, text, e-mail, Web-surfing, Sprint TV, Sprint Music, GPS Navigation, Direct Connect and Group Connect for one flat monthly fee. Well, that's only if the customer doesn't have any problems with the network. That price would be awesome if it was on "America's Most Reliable Network".
17. Quit Whining (unregistered)
To the reps that are whining about complicated plans...dont blame the customers, it's sprint thats offer all the complicated billing stuff. Make the plan $50 for all of it. You will get overloaded with customers. It will simplify the billing and the reps will quit whining. It will get competive just like dialup internet did in the late 90's. It started by the minute, then went to blocks of minutes, finally to a flate rate.
18. Petey (unregistered)
Sprint has decent plans, with earlier nights, incoming free, etc. Their Customer Service SUCKS and TOO MANY BILLING ERRORS! Dont Low Ball the INDUSTRY, work on getting Non Ghetto Employees
25. alex_rockssocks (Posts: 6; Member since: 10 Aug 2009)
19. DeeMan (unregistered)
The "Non Ghetto Employees" comment was downright unneccesary and IGNORANT. But in America, what else do you expect? Anyways, I see a lot comments on how this will provide sales boosts for Sprint employees. I think it's a case of "too little, too late". 29.5 billion dollars?? 29.5 BILLION AMERICAN DOLLARS??? I am no accountant but I don't need to be one to realize that is ONE HELL OF A HIT for ANY company to withstand....even for a full year, let alone a quarter. 29.5 billion??? That is beyond comprehension folks. Hell, Microsoft couldn't even withstand that kind of blow, so how is a second rate cell company going to? Most of Sprint's network is roaming anyways ... and to me, THAT was the REAL problem. But, to all I wish success. If Sprint ever recovers from a loss like that, I would like to speak to their CFO. He could manage my 401k ANY TIME if they bounce back from this. 29.5 billion dollars and you Sprint employees are actually OPTIMISTIC about things??? Aye carumba !!!!!
20. steviecrackberry (unregistered)
I see more coments from VZW users than Sprint lol VZW users should get off everyones nuts!
21. Kenneth Wilson (unregistered)
Look for Microsoft to make a bid for Sprint. Hell, they own everything else.
22. blah (unregistered)
May have lost alotta money but the mall i work in sprint/tmo sells a ton more than vzw and i mean by like 3x more a day
23. MILF lapper (unregistered)
13. Sprint are Retard
24. Shawn (unregistered)
It's too little too late for Sprint. I think personally they will only rattle the industry with competitive pricing before they finally tank.

Tony Blair lacked respect for Wales, says Peter Hain book Outside In
Tony Blair and his team never gave Wales "proper respect and attention," says Peter Hain, who was the former prime minister's Welsh secretary.
In his memoirs Mr Hain says a reshuffle reducing the Welsh job to a part-time cabinet role was "a spectacular bodge".
The Neath MP writes in Outside In that the 2003 shake-up appeared to have been "cobbled together at the last minute".
The Wales Office was subsumed into what was the Department for Constitutional Affairs (now the Ministry of Justice).
The Prince of Wales wrote a letter of sympathy to Peter Hain while the Neath MP was being investigated by police over the funding of his campaign for the Labour deputy leadership.
Prince Charles told him: "I couldn't bear witnessing the appalling time you were put through by the media in their most self-righteous mode".
Mr Hain resigned from Gordon Brown's cabinet in 2008 while police investigated the failure to declare donations to his deputy leadership campaign.
The prince wrote: "I just wanted to send you much sympathy at a most difficult time... I hope you can make the most of this enforced period of "exile" and I can only send you both my warmest good wishes and sympathetic thoughts".
Mr Hain said the letter meant a tremendous amount to him and his wife - "it really brightened up our weekend".
He was cleared of any wrong-doing and resumed his ministerial career a year later.
Mr Hain, who was Mr Blair's Welsh secretary for half his time in Downing Street, says in his book that there was initially confusion over whether the department had been abolished.
Even Mr Blair appeared unsure whether the Welsh secretary would still answer Welsh questions in the Commons.
Mr Hain said: "At one point it appeared that the secretary of state's post had been abolished, that Wales was being summarily transferred into a department under an unelected peer, Lord Falconer." Mr Hain said the Wales Office was in turmoil, with staff learning about the change via TV.
"For a government supposedly excellent at communicating, this was another example of abject failure - especially if, as later transpired, it had been considered over a period rather than cobbled together at the last minute.
"It was further evidence of Tony Blair and his team never really giving Wales proper respect and attention, contrary to Scotland where the secretary of state's role was pretty minimal because all primary legislation had gone to the Scottish parliament.
"The role of secretary of state for Wales remained crucial, then responsible for all Welsh primary legislation."
Mr Hain's memoirs cover his upbringing in South Africa and his political career from anti-apartheid activist to cabinet minister under Tony Blair and then Gordon Brown.
He reveals how plans to give the Welsh assembly more powers were almost scuppered by cabinet colleagues, including the then deputy prime minister, John Prescott.
According to Mr Hain, Mr Prescott thought the English regions were being discriminated against and was "resentful" about the idea of Wales acquiring full law-making powers.
Jack Straw, then foreign secretary, told a cabinet meeting that he had been struck by the Welsh government's "truly appalling" performance on hospital waiting times and it would be "ridiculous to start giving them more powers".
Mr Hain said Mr Straw's view was that the UK government should be saying: "If you don't deliver on policies like health you don't get more powers".
According to Mr Hain, the then leader of the Commons, Geoff Hoon, responsible for the government's legislative timetable, suggested deferring or shortening the Government of Wales Bill - a suggestion thwarted only by Tony Blair's intervention.
Mr Hain admits that he changed along his journey from protester to minister, moving towards the centre "but hopefully retaining my radical spark and values".

A well done movie about how females are portrayed in the media and the influence that these images have not only on our female children but our male children as well. We need to be very aware of this and vow to fight against this continuing overly sexual, power diminished, intellectually inferior, physical attributes images by using the power of the purse. These images are designed to sell products. Let's pledge to say~No More~ Great panel of women talking about their experiences and ways they handled the constant questions about their capabilities.
