what is "the PMDD test?" i have never heard of a test. is it a blood test?
"Someone I loved once gave me a box full of darkness. It took me years to understand that this, too, was a gift." -- Mary Oliver
I am still reading through the thread. I just got my period back today, after over 2 years (pregnant, then breastfeeding). Is anyone else dealing with severe PMS/PMDD while nursing?
ITs just a questioner to see if you show symptoms of it
I feel like a slave to this, I feel intense rage, depressed, I have no patience, I eat junk and can't control it. I feel this way mid cycle and also before I start my period. This month has been the worst. I feel crazy. I actually hit my husband during an argument a couple of wks ago. Then a couple of days ago I was in tears about everything.
I feel like a horrible mother and wife. I am taking Sam e, iodine, tons of vitamins and minerals but not extra b6 like I saw mentioned upthread. Im terrified of taking antidepressants but I'm also terrified of going through this again.
Hugs to all who are struggling. PMDD is a legitimately recognized medical condition. My med protocol (upping Prozac in the second half of my cycle) has made a significant difference for me and my family.
For those who are in treatment, how is it going for you?
How is self-care going everyone? If you're like me, it's a struggle to make time to care for yourself along with working and caring for children. We can encourage each other to take care of ourselves.
My goal today: Drink more water.
How about you?
Me + Dh = Dd1(9.5 yrs) + Dd2(7 yrs) and Ds(4.5 yrs)
I've only had time to read through the first couple of pages in this thread, but I definitely wanted to be a part of this conversation!
Since the return of my period, 16 months after my youngest son was born, I've had horrible PMDD symptoms that are getting progressively worse. I went to my doctor about 6 months ago, and he told me that my body was hormonally imbalanced because I was still nursing my 2 year old. He said he wouldn't do any more than a basic blood test until I completely weaned my son because any hormonal testing would be inaccurate because of the hormones I still had in my system because of nursing. The blood test he did do came back completely normal.
Needless to say, I was pissed. It also left me feeling really hopeless too. How much more money am I going to have to dole out to incompetent doctors who know nothing about women's health? Is it just me, or do you feel like women are severely oppressed when it comes to receiving quality health care? I felt this way when I was pregnant, and decided to take things into my own hands and had home births. I'm feeling this way now too, and am seeking out ways I can help myself feel better, since there really seems to be no one else who can do it but me.
Thanks for all of the great natural remedy resources! I'm looking forward to trying some things out and seeing what works!
Wow, I don't feel so alone with 600+ other posts on this issue. After two days of major turmoil thanks to my cycle ending, I decided to spend time researching what else I can do besides exercise, counseling, 5mg of Lexapro (generic), HCG shots, Progesterone, Optivite PMT, and Spiritual Guidance. I totally *GET* that I need to change my diet, even though I do eat well, I don't eat well enough. I just started the Optivite yesterday after several episodes of yelling. Something clicked that told me I need to get my nutrition in order. Thank God there is a group of women out there who deal with this same, often debilitating, problem. Why can't I just be normal? I guess there is no "normal" just average, bell curve examples of what most people *should* be.
I pray that my diet is the way I will finally kick PMDD in the rear.
Praying for y'all too,
I'm grateful to have found this thread. There is no doubt in my mind that after two (probably three years) I have PMDD. Now, I found myself wondering if it has gone on for even longer to a lesser degree.
I'm 44.
I have no other physical/mental conditions.
Symptoms: Seem to be about 7-10 days before MC starts, and that MC is now unbelievably heavy. Never had cramps that couldn't be treated with Ibuprofen, now I do. That doesn't bother me, but the PMDD has at times, threatened my work, relationships, family relationships...you name it.
I am a ICU/Trauma and Cardiac Cath Lab nurse. (I work in all three fields). It's affecting work the most...which is heartbreaking for me.
When I start to feel, (not grumpy any longer...ANGRY) for pretty much no reason, or at least a reason that would NEVER make me so Angry normally...I can usually hide away. But not from work. I find myself almost shaking with anger at co-workers at times, (not patients don't worry :)) Things aren't directed at patients because I'm usually so busy and the patients are so sick, it's full on professional, concentrating on quick and busy things right in front of me, in fact that part is a relief.
Sometimes it's just over the top complaining to boyfriend, I mean incessant complaining not even about him, it could be any little thing, and then I suddenly stop and say. "I need to shut up" But it's like you can't stop your brain from being so upset and or angry.
Depression hits too.
Get ready for this one.
When I watched those poor people get hurt or killed at the Boston Marathon, I was very sad of course and then a thought ran through my head.
"Why couldn't I have been standing next to that bomb?" "Why them? I'm miserable, I should die, not those children or people"
BAM, then I could NOT believe I had even thought that and had a mild panic attack. Then of course I realized RIGHT IN THE MIDDLE OF PMDD days. That realization did stop the panic, but not the depression. I'm not suicidal, please understand that.
It ALL GOES AWAY when I start my MC, sometimes even hours before, and I literally find myself wondering why I'm in such a good mood, then when I start menstruating, it's the same sigh of relief, every time. I feel like myself for usually about 15 days, sometimes less.
Other symptoms:
1)Nausea before MC (none during or directly after)
2)back pain/headache before MC (none during or directly after)
3)constipation, horrible before...no issues other times of the month.
4)Cravings, eating twice as much as I do before period, that strange hunger ends as soon as period starts, luckily have not gained weight.
All of the physical things I can deal with, but the crazy mood swings ARE affecting my life.
What have I tried? Nothing, kept thinking I could overcome it with the knowledge it existed, until the depressive thoughts ran through my head, and I don't feel depressed at any other time of the month!!!
Now, I know... I need help.
I can relate to the rage, I haven't hit my boyfriend, but that's probably sheer luck at this point....plus he's acutely aware of this ongoing nightmare, and luckily knows how to just stay out of the way and be supportive. It makes sense, of all people he see's the time frame and the moods come on. I'm so lucky that's not been a huge problem.
BUT, mine is affecting my work, which could affect ALL of my life. So, trust me, I know how you feel.
I called in sick to work yesterday, because I couldn't bare the thought of work, literally could not do it without probably crying or lashing out at someone, ( I was crying when I woke up and thought about it) and guess what...my cycle starts and I feel normal now.
Unbelievable. Now I'm missing work.
You are not alone.
oops, double post...sorry!
I feel like a compete crazy person the week before I start. I get so angry and impatient over the smallest things. I lose all desire to do anything but lay around. I take things out on the people i love most, and then there is the bloating, sore boobies and crazy appetite. I have an apt with my ob tm. I a praying he can help me. This is starting to affect my work and relationships, it's just miserable. Anyone relate??
Yes, I relate, I could have written this exact thing.
I suffer from PMDD. I have done tons of research and there seems to be a lot of natural treatment options. I don't think the herbal treatments are enough if you suffer from severe PMS or PMDD. I'd try with amino acids instead and st. johns wort.
Here is a list:
Magnesium—160 to 250 milligrams (mg) magnesium two times daily. The last dose should be taken at bedtime.
Calcium—1200 to 2000 mg daily, divided into two doses, the last to be taken at bedtime
Vitamin D—400 to 1000 international units (IU) vitamin D daily
Progesterone cream—1/4 teaspoon twice daily, starting on day 12 of the menstrual cycle and continuing up to day 28 (very conflicting research - I'd skip it)
Melatonin—300 mcg nightly is recommended, increasing to 10 mg if necessary - skip melatonin if you don't have any problems with sleep.
Soy isoflavones—55 to 110 mg daily
GLA—285 to 1425 mg daily in two divided doses
EPA/DHA—1400 mg EPA and 1000 mg DHA daily
Ginkgo biloba extract—120 mg daily
Theanine—100 to 200 mg daily to induce a state of relaxation
5-HTP: 50-150 mg taken on an empty stomache.
GABA: 500-1000mg. per day.
Saint-John's-wort—women with PMDD: up to 900 mg daily; women with PMS: 300 mg standardized extract daily.
Here are some great resources:
Lots of life style changes (good sleep, exercise, no alcohol/caffeine and as little sugar as possible) are very helpful too. For life style see: http://www.conquerpms.com/
I also wanted to recommend www.swansonvitamins.com - they are extremely cheap!
good luck - I know how hard it is
I'm going to try some of this, I DO NOT want to be on any anti-depressant. I tried two...(Paxil and Celexa) and was out of my mind, shaking, could not sleep...oh boy it was horrible. My only answer is that sometimes those things just don't work for everyone. I want to try the supplements. I'm at a healthy weight, don't eat a lot of sugar...but could exercise. Problem is, the time I really need to exercise, I can barely get myself to work, lol.
I don't know if I can say I have PMDD, but severe PMS, you betcha. I just had the most stressful, hectic week I've had in awhile and the last two times I've talked to my ma on the phone, she could tell just by my tone I am PMSing :( But I digress...I wanted to ask you lovely ladies, how on earth do you control your eating when PMS strikes?
Just today, day two of PMS, I have had an entire package of gummies (something I would NEVER give into as I usually try to eat fairly clean) a bunch of home-made potato chips, FOUR mandarin oranges, half an avocado, some tuna, a serving of cottage cheese, a Clif bar (again, something the s.o. keeps around that I normally avoid) some turkey sausage and just now a bowl of broccoli cheddar soup I just HAD to make. What upsets me is that I have struggled for body issues for years and when I basically binge eat like this, I feel awful about myself.
Do I just put a lock on the fridge or what? I (thankfully) don't have too many cravings during the rest of the week before my period but man, I feel like such a cow those first few days!

I just want to share that it took 7 different meds/combos to find the right anti-depressant for me. But it has changed my life. Where I was before meds was nowhere in which I could put myself on any kind of supplement regiment. I couldn't get out of bed. I had no control over my thoughts. I was so dysfunctional in my luteal phase. And once I got my period I spent the next two weeks rebuilding myself and my life only to be hit all over again. I was done and I had no life. I worked closely with a psychiatrist who spent 1.5 years working on a fix. It was so worth it. I have a life and it is awesome. I'm now able to do all the things I should be doing to take care of myself and my health. Good luck with whatever route you choose - I just don't want you close doors. xo
50mg does nothing at all for me even with B6. 100mg makes a noticeable difference when taken with B6. I'm not 100% but I'm not a complete basket case either. Still, I am afraid of upping the dose more because of weird jaw and tongue spasms that I get from it. I tried 80mg and still had waves of tears well up and even with 100mg I still get very insecure and want to avoid people.
Does anyone have experience with how the 5-htp affects them?
I want to know what a correct dose should feel like in my system.

I just let myself eat...food, no matter how much I consume is way better than suicide.
Good point. If I try to restrict myself too much, I don't exactly feel like killing myself but I do feel miserable.
Wow I'm so glad I found this thread! I can't access the group yet, I'm new here. But glad to know I'm not alone!
Oh yeah, forgot, more about me. I'm 27, and I am in therapy. I tried Zoloft, bad side effects. 5HTP, also bad effects. I'm back with my ex after 2 years, and he has changed and is an amazing father, and a loving kind man. Once PMDD hits, I get these crazy thoughts. I feel that if he is short or snippy I walk away. But if I have an attitude, I think he gives it back, getting angry if I do that to him. I think that because of the PMDD a minor issue is magnified. I spend a lot of time just confused. I've also been in many bad relationships, and am the black sheep of my family. I expect issues, so i'm sure I create them. But I spend the one to two weeks on high alert, ready to defend. But when I don't have PMDD things just roll off my back and things are minor annoyances, like my BF tends to rant and rave, never at me. And he can be sarcastic and impatient, but he isn't mean. PMDD hits and suddenly in my mind it's all different and it makes me feel crazy, confused, in a fog. Even when I talk to the BF he just stares saying I have it all wrong, and points out that I get nasty so he's saying things in defense, or that he'll just say anything and I take it the wrong way, and i just cry. it SUCKS! I know he isn't perfect, but I also know he isn't this hypocritical bf that I see. I just wish I could not think for this whole time, because my entire world is perceived threw dark glasses. I also just eat and eat, although I'm pretty sure I'm hypoglycemic. I'm depressed, and it's my son that saves me, a job not for a toddler. I hate it, and after a Lifetime of hell I'm not sure why I'm dealt this. To not be arguementive, to maybe start writing down things taht are wrong in my mind, and once the PMDD passes then i look at the paper, and really decide if it's an issue or not. It's hard, all my coping skills go out the window, and disengaging is near impossible. I'm pretty sure I have it severe. So that's my story, and I'm trying my hardest to deal with it. :)
Finally, I want to just say that it worries me that you are concerned about your bf's behaviour but then you blame yourself. If you left him the first time bc he was mean (abusive), it is very likely that his core attitude has not changed. You may be depressed, but you're not crazy. Take care!
Well, I'm glad I found this particular support thread. I am just today realizing that I probably have PMDD. I just took an online PMDD survey and answered "yes" to every question - cripes. It took me forever to figure it out because it just sort of crept up on me, and I can't tell when it started, but it's been at least a year now. Probably more.
At least now I know why I'm feeling soooo lousy. I've been feeling fatigued, overwhelmed, irritable, anxious, useless, unloveable, existentially lonely (that feeling like you will NEVER be able to connect with anybody in the world because there's something WRONG with you), and having nightmares. Funny, I never connected nightmares to PMS until I saw it listed just now under a list of possible symptoms. That could explain a LOT. Because there's really no other reason I should be feeling this way. Seriously.
So I just wanted to vent that. When I'm feeling like this I can actually get suicidal (have been all day), and I eventually get through it and come out the other side even though it feels like it's never going to end. And I feel terrible for my 3 yo and 5 yo who have to put up with me and my moods and tears and weirdness and horribleness all day. Or for days.
I called and made an appt with my doc this morning. Too bad he can't see me until Friday. By then I'll be feeling better, but I'm writing everything down right now so I don't forget. I haven't been on real antidepressants for years but at this point I think I need to try going back on Paxil. Here's hoping it works. Good luck everybody.
How is everyone doing?

Would anybody care to join in for an update?
I am having really bad PMS right now... am on meds and they take the edge off my irritability and behaviour but don't totally squash out any unpleasantness. Ahem.
How's everybody coping? My family feels like running for the hills right now with my mood. It's tough. I feel so down and in despair, and irritable. I know once Aunt Flo comes it'll go away.
I am feeling very overwhelmed right now by all the things I am trying to do as a mother. And I feel lonely. Thanks for listening.
Me + Dh = Dd1(9.5 yrs) + Dd2(7 yrs) and Ds(4.5 yrs)
I started an SSRI in 2008 when things got really really bad and I got scared thinking I might not be able to survive another cycle. It worked like magic. It was remarkable. But it made me exhausted, so over the next 2 years I tried various SSRI's, etc. and finally found an SNRI, cymbalta, that worked. Later I included wellbutrin to increase the effectiveness of cymbalta.
All of this was also to treat major depressive disorder. I've been on cymbalta (60mg, increasing to 90mg in Jan.2014 due to a depressive relapse that was circumstantial) since 2010 and cymbalta+wellbutrin (150mg) since 2012.
Since the end of April, I've gone down to 30mg of cymbalta+wellbutrin (150mg) with the goal of reducing and stopping altogether. I'm not opposed to pharmacological solutions, but I don't like the potential long term effects of the current antidepressants - this I am still learning about. There is a new kind of antidepressant that is showing incredible results in tests - it is now in its second round of human testing. It works in a completely different way. So I'm staying informed about that, but it's about 5 years away from teh market still.
The decreased SNRI has made my PMDD reappear. While on a higher dose I had mild PMS, but now it's back to severe depression in the luteal phase. Thankfully, my partner is extremely well educated in all of this and we are working together to manage it.
I have a mirena IUD, which has made my cycles completely irratic. I've begun taking my temperature this week only to help me know when my moods can be associated to the PMDD. It helps to know so I don't make decisions when it's in full force. I almost lost my partner that way (nearly ended it) and then I got my period almost 2 weeks early the same day I tried to end our relationship.... that made sense!
I see a psychiatrist once a week for CBT mostly. She doesn't recommend the pill at my age (38) since I guess there are significant risks with it as you get older.
So, with the research my partner and I have been doing, I have worked out a bit of a plan with my psychiatrist.
My supplements:
B12: 1000mg about 3x week.
Calcium: 1200mg (in two separate doses) every day
D3: 1000-2000mg daily
Omega3 wild fish oils: 4000 (in two separate doses) every day
Tryptophan: 2g in luteal phase, 1g the rest of the time (I only started this about 1.5 weeks ago; I take it in one dose at bedtime with a small simple carb and having no protein within an hour before or after taking it)
B6: 50mg every second day with the tryptophan
Cymbalta 30mg daily
Wellbutrin 150mg daily
Over the summer I will see how the addition of tryptophan helps. So far so good.
September we will review the tryptophan and consider dropping the cymbalta altogether. I may then work to drop the wellbutrin and perhaps subsitute with a low dose SSRI such as cipralex (5mg) during luteal phase only. ldeally I would love it if I only needed to do the tryptophan and/or the SSRI during luteal phase.
Having a very supportive partner is so important. He really encourages me to talk about my moods and we work through them together. I snap at my kids but I have also educated them about PMDD so they are aware and I sometimes I yell and then yell that it's that time in my cycle and I'm sorry.
I feel very vulnerable most of the time and part of my coping is about accepting. I must accept that I must devote more time to self care than most people. I must guard my sleep more carefully than most people. I can't accomplish as much as most people. But, I can continue with my life in a managed way that has led me to great insights about my patterns of thinking and has led me on this path of change. I am working hard on destabilizing my cognitive distortions that seem to take over after I ovulate with CBT. It takes a lot of effort and work and sometimes the only way I can get back on track once the PMDD hits is with the help of my partner's gentle and patient encouragement.
I hope this helps. I am going to look further through this thread for more insights and ideas.
Your partner sounds like a wonderful source of support.
Me + Dh = Dd1(9.5 yrs) + Dd2(7 yrs) and Ds(4.5 yrs)
I posted on here (I think) a while ago, but not sure where my post went.
I get PMS / PMDD and have for years. It used to be so severe that I felt like my head would explode with the intensity of emotions that I was experiencing. It was like a pressure in my head that wouldnt let up. It was absolutely awful.
Obviously the medical solution is to take medication, but I dont do well on the types of medications that are given for PMS / PMDD, so I opted to go the natural way. The natural way (well the way I did it), is a lot of work, but it's worth it because I do not experience PMS / PMDD anywhere near as bad as before and I only usually experience it some months and only 1-3 days max and only a few times for each of those days, not consistently throughout the day.
What I find helps me is:
* omega3 / omega 6 (of a particular ratio)
* magnesium
* calcium
* B vitamins
* Really natural, organic diet with a lot of raw vegetables and fruits. This means a salad of some sort every day and raw vegetables with every meal. For example, if you have a stir fry add some thinly chopped shallots and / or sweet peppers on top, plus some fresh herbs. This part is the part that takes the most amount of work and effort, because it means freshly prepared meals every day and using organic ingredients (which can be more expensive, but not if you grow some of your own) and many women cant or dont want to do it, but I assure you that I went from crazy PMS lady with PMS from 2-4 weeks (when my periods were so irregular they were coming every 5-6 weeks) to a more calmer normal person doing this as part of my regime. The thing with the food, is that if you think of it as medicine because it contains all the nutrients you need in ample amounts, you will feel better overall and not just during PMS / PMDD time. As Hippocrates (the father of medicine said): Let food be thy medicine. Really. Seriously.
* Eat more fibre - excess oestrogen also attaches to the insoluble fibre you eat and it is then excreted out of your body, so that it doesnt build up and doesnt give you the effects of eostrogen dominance
Exercise / lifestyle changes
* Exercise most days - exercise helps to reduce the excessive eostrogen that may be circulating in the bloodstream, by increasing circulation to help remove it
* Keep away from xenoestrogens - these are things like plastics in water bottles (use stainless steel or glass) and dont heat up plastic in the microwave or cover your food with plastic cling wrap in the microwave. Xenoestrogens mimic normal eostrogen and they attach themselves to your eostrogen receptors and that means your real eostrogen cant and so more of it circulates in your bloodstream, they stop your cells from operating properly and they are implicated in female hormone cancers
Medical studies and other information
From a few studies (and books) I read, it appears that in some women, the levels of calcium drop quite a lot during PMS / PMDD period and eating foods with high levels of calcium or taking supplements seems to help some women. It's entirely applicable for me as I am lactose intolerant and dont each much dairy foods in the first place.
Then there are other studies that suggest that some women may be just a bit more sensitive to the hormones that are circulating the blood stream during PMS / PMDD, as they affect some women a bit too much and hence we get those symptoms.
Bioidentical hormones - my story (and it's not a good one)
I tried the bioidentical, natural progesterone cream (and tablets) and the cream gave me severe hives and made me go a bit mental. The tablets, because they werent as quickly absorbed like the cream, started to give me similar side effects, but at a lower rate. So neither of these are any good for me.
More about food and your diet
You know that most of the neurotransmitters your body needs to function properly and which help to control your mood and make you calm and happy (ie GABA, dopamine) can be created by the food you eat. If your diet is deficient in nutrients, it cannot synthesis these neurotransmitters. Your diet plays a huge part in your health and if you dont eat properly you cannot expect to feel healthy.
Regarding fruits and vegetables, the recommendation in Australia is 2 serves of fruit and 5 serves of vegetables every day for good health - this is a lot more than most people have every day.

Mamta Sharma, Chairperson of National Commission for Women has demanded Uttar Pradesh Chief Minister Akhilesh Yadav's resignation following reports of more attacks against women in his state.
She said, "Chief Minister should now resign considering the condition of women in Uttar Pradesh. It is very shameful that the government is unable to protect their women."
She further alleged that even the police is not under their control and the administration is slipping from their hands. She suggested that DGP should also be changed.
The only remedy for the continuous rape cases in UP, according to her, is a change in the UP administration.
The increase in crimes against women portrays that law in order in UP has decreased extensively, she added.

Paul Pierce will not play against Miami and will be replaced in the starting lineup by Tony Allen. Doc Rivers also said that he didn't think Pierce would be able to play Friday against the Nets. The Celtics are considering the foot injury to Pierce to be a day-to-day situation.
Rivers said there is a chance that Marquis Daniels could be ready to return Sunday against the Magic, but he stressed that the team wouldn't make a decision on Daniels based on Pierce's availability.

|by Chester Himes ; edited with an introduction by Michel Fabre & Robert E. Skinner.
Tomsson Black, political visionary, business genius, and underground revolutionary, plots to avenge injustice by instigating racial turmoil. The roots of racism extend far back into his ancestry, and persecution and suffering have affected many generations of his family. Tomsson's own misfortunes are the impetus for him to found a criminal underworld whose ultimate purpose is the overflow of white society. This novel, the history of Tomsson Black and an indictment of racism in America, ends in apocalypse. It is Chester Himes's ultimate statement about the destructive power of racism and his own personal fantasy of how the American Negro, through calculated acts of violence and martyrdom, could destroy the unequal system pervading American life. However, after reaching an ideological impasse, Himes, one of the angriest writers in the black protest movement, left this novel unfinished. After his death in Spain in 1984, a rumor persisted that he had left a final, unfinished Harlem story, in which he literally destroys both his Harlem backdrop and his heroes in a violent racial cataclysm. The manuscript, entitled Plan B, is that novel. It was edited and published in France, where it was widely hailed as an unfinished masterpiece by readers and critics alike. This new edition, appearing for the first time in the United States, includes an introduction by Michel Fabre (The Sorbonne) and Robert E. Skinner (Xavier University), who have prepared Plan B for publication.

Premier contemporary art fair draws record visitor numbers
Published on Jan 20, 2014 11:55 AM
The fourth edition of Art Stage Singapore ended on Sunday having drawn a record number of visitors.
A last minute crush of people in the last three hours of the fair added to the buzz and the numbers.
The four-day fair which opened with a private view last Wednesday evening drew 45,700 visitors, up from 40,500 last year.
At around 4pm, the halls at the Marina Bay Sands Exhibition and Convention Centre were packed - both inside and outside.
Though the fair was supposed to close at 6pm, several people were still in the hall and organisers had to make repeated requests so art movers and handlers could start moving the artworks.
Several strongly curated gallery presentations, country and regional platforms showcasing mostly art from Asia and a much improved fair layout appealed to collectors, gallerists and visitors alike.
A visibly tired but elated fair director Lorenzo Rudolf told The Straits Times that this is how he always wanted to see the art scene grow.
"It has been beautiful to see how things have come together in the arts scene. I have always said this - that the fair is a huge chance to create something big in Singapore.
"At the fair we wanted to try new things, explore new formats to ensure contemporary art is embraced by more people. The country-specific platforms were a catalyst. They added depth to an art fair format. We are more than pleased with the result and the response the fair has received."
Big ticket artworks sold at the fair included the late Chinese-French painter Zao Wou Ki's oil on canvas 1966 which sold for US$1.2million (S$1.53 million).
While the German contemporary great Gerhard Richter's 1982 oil on canvas painting titled Abstraktes Bild priced at S$14.45 failed to find a buyer, Michael Schultz Gallery sold another Richter painting for 580,000 Euros (S$1 million).
Japanese pop artist Yayoi Kusama proved to be a big draw again. OTA Fine Arts sold her colourful sculpture Flowers That Bloom Tomorrow for US$500,000.

Please give me feedback on my sermon at the cafe. Go back to Homepage, then to Share It!, then to the Cafe. Chef Jean Paul has baked some fantastic pumpkin bread, so be sure to stop by the cafe.
I am grateful for Rick and Tom's exchange below. They blog about veterans being among the neglected in our society, just as the widow in the Sadducees' hypothetical scenario is among the neglected. Yes, our society sometimes glorifies veterans, but there also lie forgotten and marginalized legions of veterans who gave much for the sake of others.
Also, the idea of seeing the Sadducees' story from the widow's point of view is refreshing. I never thought of that and may use that perspective for the sermon.
I must confess, though, that my mind stares in another direction. This past Tuesday, my seventeen-year old son Michael expressed doubt about God's existence and indicated that he has little desire to attend worship. We had a calm discussion about all this. I indicated that doubt is part of the believer's journey and that I have been full of doubt myself at times. I also explained that, for several reasons, Sunday worship is still worth doing even if you don't want to be there. The conversation was productive and level.
In any event, at the intersection of Michael's sincere questioning and the Sadducees' dubious questioning stands my sermon, I think. I'm just not sure where that intersection is.
So I have pulled over to the side of the road and am now asking you for directions.
Yours in Christ,

Veterans and the Lessons
2007-11-08 by Tom Steagald
I wonder if there might be some way to relate all of that to the texts for Sunday--the Haggai text seems especially apt at least as a word of comfort for those for whom the promise is a "past glory," and not just the returning veterans but all of those who remember a time (after WW II, say?) when it was different that this. There is challenge woven into that text, too, as the rebuilding begins.
And the Gospel text speaks to what, in the hypothetical case proposed by the Sadduccees, was the failed promise of levirate marriage. This "institution," which left the care for and hope of the woman to immediate family, did not produce what was intended. She was left, in a manner of speaking, homeless.
Clearly, the aim of the story and its telling is different, but I have never thought to think through the parable from the woman's point of view. And just as clearly, Jesus' response is aimed past the "earthly," but the greater scope of his hospitality and regard could help us here.
What is the church but refuge for those for whom all other resource is lost? Whose only hope is in God and God's people? And what does that mean in terms of our daily work? Pretty powerful questions.
Outside World
2007-11-08 by Rick Brand
As we preachers discuss the traps put in front of Jesus and responses to it, the newspaper article made me wonder if I was trapped inside this story and Jesus would push me to look at the events outside.
This weekend is Veterans' Day. I have mainly tried to avoid the patriotism and glorification of military that comes with that holiday, but the newspaper article pointed in a different direction.
Maybe Veterans' Day needs to be back in our worship this Sunday. The story said that one out of every four homeless person was a veteran. Maybe Jesus would be interested in these people. Veterans have gone and volunteered to defend our principles, our values, our dreams, but when they have come home they have been betrayed and deceived. The promised medical care has not been there for them. These people who have gone to defend the promises of the government have been deceived by the promises that they would get to stay home for a rest only to be redeployed almost immediately. The National Guard has been used as our regular army. Their stays have been extended.
Vietnam Veternams, First Gulf War Veterans and the veterans of these battles against terrorist went because they loved this country, but they have been among the must abused, mistreated, and deceived people in the country. We have created a paramilitary organization like Blackwater who pays their employees much more than our soldiers receive.
The studies of domestic abuse, divorce and family problems in the military, the conditions of many of the military homes, the lack of good social services for the Veterans all point to the reality that we have not provided for our Veterans what the government, what we, has promised to those who serve.
Maybe since the church is the place where the lost, lonely and broken come to be greeted by the Christ who knows our brokenness and offers us forgiveness and healing, maybe we need, now, to have Veterans recognized and prayed for in our worship.
Upon Further Review
2007-11-07 by Tom Steagald
The easy observation is, of course, that the Sadduccees have come to bait and trap Jesus... certainly the earlier attempts by others to ask questions of authority and taxes were attempts to tangle Jesus with his own words. But in this text there is no mention of duplicity or a hidden agenda. The Sadduccees just ask a question.
The question feels "stock," but let us not be too hasty to conclude they are merely rendering the issue absurd. This is precisely the kind of case study that some minds are so fond of exploring. Besides, is it mere rhetoric when Pilate asks, "What is truth?" Perhaps he is trying to trap Jesus, or dismiss what Pilate might have seen as idealism...Or does he, as Buechner so famously reflected, really want to know? Is there truth? Given the cynicism that surely infects life-long government officials, Pilate may in fact want to know.
Is there resurrection? Could that be a real question even for those who are on record as not believing in such? Were the Sadduccees familiar enough with the reports of Jesus' ministry, impressed enough with Jesus' person, to ask that in legitimate terms? Jesus, you say there is a resurrection but our own tradition of levirate marriage would seem to say otherwise. How can you reconcile the two? How do you answer?
Is it a trap or a real question? If the former, well, no big surprise--the text is easily reduced to they say he says and we of course agree with him and disagree with them and what does that mean for us today? But perhaps the question is simply posed in such terms as to discount simplistic answers.
Maybe what I have read as cheek and condescension is, somewhere under the obvious, a real seriousness... as in, don't tell me God is good all the time and everywhere until you take serious account of the counter-argument.
And still, one is reminded of Anthony Flew's "death by a thousand qualifications." Perhaps they are rendering belief in the resurrection as absurd as they can. The tenor of the question feels like...what? Bemusement? Sarcasm? Ridicule? Jesus' answer seems to suggest how one can read Moses differently from Zadok's heirs...
The temptaions earlier in Luke culminate in the Temple (not on the mountain as in Matthew), and here near the end we are back at the Temple for more questions: authority, taxes, life after death...pretty basic stuff, the kind everyone talks about, even a Sadduccee. But here on the Sadduccees' home turf (Craddock) they take on even sharper significance--and all the more so if the Sadduccees, like other inquiring minds, may really want to know.
If the tenor of the Sadduccees questions is, well, whatever it is--however you read or hear it--what is interesting is that Jesus answers with respect and on his questioner's own terms. He treats the question as legitimate inquiry and an opportunity for doctrinal discussion--whether the question is real or not. He cites "their" scripture in his attempt to teach and correct, but he does not dismiss them (as I am so inclined, for instance, to dismiss and disregard the clean-cut young men on my front porch with the nametags and short sleeves and alternate scriptures; for sure I never engage in debate!). And in vs. 39 "some of the scribes" commend him. They no longer dare to ask him anything... but the reasons for that decision could well be complex.

This support is provided within the framework of the Task Force for the Implementation of the Environmental Action Programme (the EAP Task Force).

Sacred FireAnn Petry's best-selling first novel, The Street, is the tragic story of Lutie Johnson, a young black woman, and her struggle to live decently and raise her son amidst the violence, poverty, desperation, and racial discord of Harlem in the late 1940s.
Lutie's marriage falls apart after she takes a job as a live-in nanny and maid in Connecticut, leaving her husband, Jim, and her son behind. When Lutie finds out that Jim "has taken up with another woman," she packs up her son and her things and moves out. She eventually ends up on 116th Street, signing the lease on the only apartment she can afford: three rooms in a building with narrow dark halls and prying, noisy neighbors.
Often compared to Richard Wright's Native Son for its stark despair, The Street was the first book by an African American female writer to sell over one million copies.

Have you heard the myth that black cats are unsafe in October, in part because witches may try to adopt them for rituals? We sure have. But guess what? Top ASPCA experts agree that it's just not true.
At the ASPCA, we LOVE black kitties. (Some of our friendliest cats, like Marissa, are black—yet Marissa has waited more than nine months to find a family. What's up with that?)
Aside from the most important reason to adopt black kitties—that they really need extra help finding homes—here are a few reasons to take home one or two:
- Their fur won't show on your little black dress.
- You can tell your kids you adopted a mini panther.
- Black cats go with everything.
- In most cultures, black cats are a sign of good luck.
- You already know black cats are awesome—you have one at home! If you've got a great black kitty, tell us about him or her in the comments. You just might persuade someone else to give these felines a little extra attention.
A stray black cat showed up at our door one night. Hungry and brave he just walked in! Every night he would show up and sleep on our carport. Bleeding hearts that we are, we kept him. He eventually starting living in the house with our 2 other cats. He's HUGE, but not dominating. He's actually the sweetest cat I've ever known. He loves to sleep on your lap and constantly wants his head scratched. At night he crawls on the bed and snuggles. We nicknamed him Snuggalupagus. His affection baffles us, but maybe it's more gratitude for taking him in. Either way, he has definitely become our "favorite" but don't tell the other ones!
We are new foster parents for an awesome black cat named Junior. He is the most affectionate and gentle cat we have ever met, and we still can't believe he is 18! He chases his tail like a kitten and plays with his toys with great energy. The fact that he is a black cat has nothng to do with his adorable personality. He is friendly to everyone.
Condolences black cats! Superstition is a shame!
I have a black cat at home. Though she's very scared of people (even us at times) she can be VERY sweet when she's ready to cuddle. At my work (Auto Salvage Yard), we found her in one of our cars in the yard. She was only 6 months old, and very dehydrated. My brother took her home and gave her food and water. She then has become a huge part of the family! I'm sure her still being timid these last 3 years was because she was probably so frightened of everything that happened before we found her.
We adopted a handsome, elegant, intelligent 10-month old black cat in 1991. He was my dear friend and companion for another 18 years. Never have I met a sweeter-dispositioned, friendlier, laid-back cat. We miss him so much. He was diabetic and took his twice daily insulin injections like a trooper. Don't hesitate to adopt a black cat because of scary legends or worries about fur on the furniture. That's why God invented masking tape.
I fed a black feral cat for almost a year. One day there was a group that was doing the Trap, neuter, spay release thing for the feral cats where I was feeding her and they trapped her. I asked that when they brought them back to release them if I could just take her home instead of releasing her. I did just that and all I can say is that it was a labor of love, lots of patience but that feral black kitty (now named Lucy) a year and a half later is the most loving kitty and a treasure in our home. We have four Chihuahua's and she loves them all but she is strongly bonded to the oldest one. I could write a book about our Lucy. So you can see black kittys are every bit as loving as any other color of cat. Lucy had to get used to every sound in the house, the feel of everything in the house the dogs, my husband, friends and family. She has never tried to get outside, she is loving, she is happy and she is a joy to have. It took a year before I could pick her up although she did like to be petted. She does everything the dogs do and she has no clue she is a kitty! She gets up on two things, the bed and the loveseat. She does not jump on anything. Lucy studied the pups for a few months when she first got here and whatever they do is what she does!! She does come out when we have someone here but that took a while and she does go up to a select few to get a pet but for some they just get to talk to her and look at her. She makes positive changes every few months and she keeps adding a few people here and there to her select few that gets to pet her! We can do about anything to her now as she has grown to love and trust us.To the lady that has the little kitten on her porch, take her in, you won't be sorry! If you can't take the baby inside, get someone to help you because it is not a pretty life for a kitty to grow up feral.
My black rescue, Onyx, is one of the sweetest cats I've ever met. She is wonderful with my new kitten, and she was a sweetheart with my 21 year old tomcat. I also had a black tomcat who was just a doll, funny and loving. Black cats have such pretty, shiny coats and gorgeous eyes. I know many of the shelters and organizations have black kitties that need homes. Try one, they are special!
First off... Pagans and Wiccans DO use black cats (or for that matter ANY animal) in their rituals. They are known as familiars and we do NOT, I repeat, DO NOT harm them. Secondly, I have three of them, and if my cities ordinance would allow it, I would have a few more. People that think black cats are unlucky REALLY need to get a life and STOP discriminating!
Black cats are said to be the most affectionate, as well as very smart and playful. I believe that God gave them extra affection because He knew that mankind would be prejudiced. All 3 of mine constantly follow me for attention, and try to climb my legs begging to be picked up and cradled. They are like toddlers extending arms so that daddy will pick them up. I have had 5 black cats, and each has been very affectionate. My other cats are special in their way, but the black cats are truly special. Adopt a black cat, and I am certain you will be showered with affection. Just give them a bit of attention, and they will be all over you.
I am an ecstatic owner of an all black kitty. His name is Shadow and he is awesome. His coloration gives him such a regal appearance. He is just so handsome. I love all cats and always have, but I looked specifically for a black cat when I was finally able to have one. He is the best!

Analyzing emotional states under duress or during heightened, life-and-death situations is extremely difficult, especially given the inability of laboratory experiments to replicate the environment and given the inherent biases of post event surveys. This is where natural experiments, such as the pager communications from September 11th can provide the kind of natural experiment emotion researchers have been seeking. We demonstrate that positive and pro-social communications are the first to emerge followed by the slower and lower negative communications. Religious sentiment is the last to emerge, as individual attempt to make sense of event. Additionally we provide a methodological discussion about the preparation and analysis of such natural experiments (the pager message content) and show the importance of using multiple methods to extract the broadest possible understanding.

Albuquerque, New Mexico - Eddie Eagle has been traveling across the country for more than twenty years now. With videos, coloring books and stickers, it helps ingrain his life saving message of: "If you see a gun: STOP! Don't Touch. Leave the Area. Tell an Adult." But the biggest asset in getting across these four simple steps is the Eddie Eagle mascot costume.
"The kids light up with you come in with the costume," said National Eddie Eagle GunSafe® Program Manager Eric Lipp. "It's by far our most popular and effective tool."
So popular that NRA Law Enforcement decided to give one away at the 2011 National Police Shooting Championships in Albuquerque.
Throughout the week, hundreds of Law Enforcement Officers threw their names in the proverbial hat in hopes that the costume would end up in their department. And the lucky winner? Border Patrol Agent Kevin Worrell.
"We're pretty active with the Laredo (Texas) community," said Worrell. "This costume will make our work a whole lot easier. I can think of a half dozen places right off the bat where I can put it to use."

(Amount per serving)
Needs more favor. I used gala apples. I think I needed to choice an apple with more taste when ued in baking. The bread cooked up very nicely and blended well in this dish. I never noticed that I could reduce the size of the recipe and baked the largest size. I'll definitely bake this again.

The engine may have a higher that normal idle at times. After cold start with an automatic transmission and when the clutch is depressed with a manual transmission. Our technicians tell us updated powertrain control module (PCM) software is available to address this concern.
A rattling noise from the engine may indicate that the timing chain cassette is worn. Our technicians tell us that installing an updated cassette and timing chain tensioner should correct this concern.
The magnet for the camshaft position sensor may fall out of its mount and damage the synchronizers. This causes long crank times when starting the engine and may cause the Check Engine Light to illuminate. If this happens, both the magnets and the synchronizers need to be replaced.
