Ease of Use
Worst birth control ever . Gained weight and had headaches literally everyday. I was super emotional and felt like a crazy person even my boyfriend could sense a change in my mood. It caused extreme nausea for me everyday and that's without doubling up. Couldn't handle the nausea or feeling like a crazy person and got off .

This is my first experience with birth control. I am on the second week of my second pack. During the first pack I bled for an entire month! I finally stopped but now I am starting to feel some anxiety, mood swings, and some depression. It has changed my outlook on life. My family and boyfriend have commented on how I don't seem like myself. I don't think I've gained weight and my acne ... Show Full Comment

Ease of Use
I can't believe how terrible all of the reviews are for this BC. I took Vestura for over a year and LOVED it. I suffered from terrible break outs before taking Vestura but after the first month on this BC my face cleared up and was the clearest that it has EVER been! As expected, I broke out when I first started the pack but after 3-4 weeks my body adjusted and my face was unbelievably clear. ... Show Full Comment

I have used Yaz for years without any problems, but I HATE Vestura. I feel constantly depressed--even though mentally I don't have any reason to--even to the point of suicidal thoughts.

We strive to make Cove House as welcoming as we can - so if you have any suggestions, please tell us. I love that the kids enjoyed it as well. We got the impression that they are very active and love the outdoors, so they probably didn't even miss not having a PlayStation or video games!
If there are things that you didn't have time to do, please come visit Down East Maine and us again. It would be a pleasure to have you.

About the Owner
Chris and I had Cove House built in 2004, and did much of the finish work ourselves. In 1997 we moved to Lamoine from the Boston area and have loved every minute of our life here. My mother's family was from western Maine, and Chris had sailed along the coast a number of times. It was like coming home.

Lynda was great, she responded right away.
The home is tucked away but is convenient to Bar Harbor and the Acadia National Park (about 20-30 mins away) which we visited while we were there, even though someone in town told us people don't usually stay in Lamoine when visiting the area, we were glad we did!
If you are looking for a peaceful retreat to go to at the end of the day, this is definitely it!
Thanks to Lynda and Chris for their hospitality, you were awesome.
Thank you for your comments. We do appreciate hearing from our guests as it is one way to know what they liked and disliked and what we can do to make their stay more comfortable.
I hope you get a chance to come back to Maine in the near future - during good weather - so you can enjoy all of its beautiful views, hikes, bikes, food and people. It was not usual Maine weather!
Chris and Lynda
Absolute Serenity!!
My first response was, "Oh, how very nice of her!" Thank you for your kind words.
Now, it's my turn. You were all terrific. Cove House was neat as a pin when we went in, and you had left us such a nice note and a present to boot! Totally unexpected. Plus you and the kids left us a game for other guests to use. How very thoughtful.
It's so nice to have people like you at Cove House. We want you to enjoy yourselves, in pleasant and comfortable surroundings, with everything you need at your fingertips. And we love sharing our beautiful Down East Maine with you. Hope you'll all come back again.
Warm regards,
From the Owner
"We decided to build Cove House after several years of cramped conditions at home during the summer months. We felt having a larger house for guests and family gave us the opportunity to share meals and trips to favorite haunts and everyone had a peaceful night's sleep in a comfortable bed. Our children suggested that we offer it for rent to visitors of the park and to families on vacation. It was a success from the get go."
Activity and Interests
So much to do. The cottage is stocked with many brochures, booklets and maps as well as a Maine DeLorme to help you find any activity and location. Fifteen minutes to Ellsworth for groceries, cinema, movie rentals, restaurants, antique shop, LL Bean, churches, excellent library and hospital; 20 minutes to the entrance to Acadia National park; 30 minutes to Winter Harbor and Schoodic Point.
In Ellsworth visit the Black House and see what life was like in the 1800's. Stroll along the paths at Birdsacre and see the birds. Eat lobster by the Union River, Jasper's on High Street, or go to Ruth and Wimpy's a couple of miles East of town on Rte. 1. Enjoy great food at Arbovine in Blue Hill or The Crocker House in Hancock. Go to Jordan's Snack Bar just past St. Andrew Lutheran Church on Rte. 1 and enjoy good food outdoors. Visit the many antique shops in the area. Get fresh produce and flowers at the Farmers' Markets in town on Thursdays and Saturdays.
In 20 minutes you are in beautiful Acadia National Park with its hiking, horseback riding and biking trails. Have tea and popovers at Jordan Pond House. Visit downtown Bar Harbor and its many shops, restraurants and attractions. Take a whale watching trip, enjoy an evening sail on the Margaret Todd or attend a concert.
Travel to Blue Hill or Stonington and see the sights, or stay close to home and kayak in Raccoon Cove or the Skillings, sunbathe on one of the granite promotories at water's edge, or just relax with a good book on the porch or deck.
Launch your boat or kayak across the Cove at Marlboro Beach, and motor, paddle or sail around Frenchman Bay. Visit a winery in Gouldsboro! Antique hunting, casual outdoor dining, and wonderful art galleries are among your many choices in the area. A public golf course is ten minutes away. Two others available on Mount Desert Island. Hair and nail salons, horseback riding, massages, yoga,T'ai Chi, tennis and physical fitness programs are also a phone call away.
In other words, there is something special for every taste and interest!

"Cove House is well located to travel to Mount Desert Island, Acadia National Park, Bar Harbor for whale-watching tours, kayaking, art galleries, restaurants, and shops, as well as to Ellsworth for groceries, movies, hospital, LL Bean, library, post office, etc. In addition, a drive East takes you to beautiful Schoodic Peninsula and Winter Harbor, Wonsqueak, Birch Harbor, Corea; West takes you to the Blue Hill Peninsula and the beautiful towns of Blue Hill, Brooklin and Brooksville. Cross the Deer Isle Bridge over Eggemoggin Reach to Little Deer Isle and the causeway to Deer Isle, where you'll find the beautiful fishing village of Stonington.

UNLV game was big, but Wednesday bigger for Aztecs
Twitter drama
Shortly after the loss, Thames' Twitter account was hit with several less than supportive messages referencing his late turnovers.
One said: Nice job blowing the game Xavier Thames.
Within minutes, UNLV guard Anthony Marshall had his back. "Bro keep grinding," Marshall tweeted to Thames. "Don't let people like this distract you."
Marshall would know. A week earlier, Marshall missed a contested layup in the closing seconds of a 68-66 loss at Wyoming and was inundated with nasty tweets from frustrated fans before he had reached the locker room – one of which said: "Make a damn layup … you suck."
Marshall calmly replied the same way to all of them: "Thank you."
"I understand people react emotionally," Marshall told the Las Vegas Review-Journal last week. "I use it as motivation. If you put yourself out there among the marquee programs, you'll be loved when you win and the haters come out when you lose. It's a gift and a curse."
Former SDSU forward Malcolm Thomas came to Thames' defense as well, tweeting him: "Obviously this guy doesn't watch hoop. Keep yo head up bro."

This is just f*** great! Six weeks of testing for a new project and I committed myself to using Slavich because of it's beautiful cold toned matte paper. Ordered boxes of both #2 and #3 from Freestyle this week. It would have been nice to know that, that was it. There is no way this will be enough to get me through the project and into the future.
It's not about the price it's about the quality and having choices. I can't use Ilford Galerie for everything, some projects require a different look. I don't like the Kentmere surface anywhere near as well as the Slavich and I won't use it, as those 2 are the only cold toned papers I know.
I agree with Andrew, I'll gladly pay more if that's what it comes down to. and I will get it shipped from overseas if I have to, just to have access to this paper.
Does anyone else have a source in the UK? I can't find anyone else in the US that stocks it.

DALLAS Dallas police have arrested a man who they said took his two small children by force on Monday. They were later found drowned.
Naim Rasool Muhammad, 32, allegedly never dropped the children off at school and there was concern because of his history of violence.
He now faces two counts of capital murder.
It all started off with a kidnapping report around 8:30 a.m.
The children's mother was walking one of her children to Frazier Elementary School when the father approached them, forced her and both of the kids into his vehicle.
Relatives said the couple had been arguing over their children and they were separated.
The mother was able to get out of the car and ran to a Dallas constable for help, but what happened next was a nearly four-hour scramble to find the boys, Elijah, 3, and Naim, 5.
Just after 9 a.m., Dallas police arrived in the 6300 block of Songwood Drive near Lazy River Drive. They met with the children's paternal grandmother.
Within an hour, investigators had the suspect Naim Rasool Muhammad, 32 on the phone. He could be heard yelling at his sister, who asked him: Are my nephews alive? That's all I want to know are they alive?
She turned away and the grandmother began to cry.
Another relative arrived at the scene and began to scream that the children were dead. The woman fell to the ground in apparent grief.
Dallas police at that moment were still searching for the childen and their father, but had not issued any kind of alert.
They continued talking to Muhammad on the phone, urging him to give himself up, but relatives received phone calls stating that the children had been harmed.
By noon, the Dallas police SWAT team arrived and surrounded a wooded area one block from the grandmother's home.
Muhammad reportedly called his mother and told her that he had drowned his children.
The two children were found in a South Dallas parking lot inside their grandmother's car. Paramedics tried to resuscitate the kids, but there was nothing they could do.
Joe Johnson, the children's step-grandfather, told News 8 the grandmother got a call Monday morning that the children were in danger, and she rushed out of the house to help.
But it was already too late. Police said Muhammad had drowned his two children.
The children's grandmother found the children in their father's car and sat in the vehicle with them until paramedics arrived.
A muddied Muhammad was found by the SWAT team in a nearby creek and taken into custody.
No Amber Alert was ever issued.
Police said the incident could have been even worse; Muhammad was said to have been trying to take a one-year-old child as well, but the relative would not let him.
The tragic incident has taken a toll on everyone, from family members to police officers.
I think everyone's hurt in this case, said Deputy Chief Craig Miller. I think officers that open up the trunk of a vehicle, the back hatch of a vehicle, and see a deceased three-year-old and a five-year-old, I think each one of us think about our own children, the vulnerableness of life.
Police have not found any evidence of a protective order, but the suspect did have a violent past.
They was some nice kids, and they don't deserve to be dead... I know that, Joe Johnson said.

The new law does much to fix how California ranks its schools. It ensures that, as of 2016, test scores can count for no more than 60 percent of a school's API score, and it says that the state superintendent must add graduation rates and measures of college- and career-preparedness to the mix.
But too much is still being left to chance. The bill doesn't specify what those measures of preparedness should be, leaving it up to local superintendents to fill in the blanks. And it doesn't require that measures of college outcomes – obvious reflections of high school success – be used in evaluating high school performance at all.
If we want California's students to arrive at college ready for postsecondary work, then we must continue to improve this evaluation system. The current bill puts California on the right track. What the state needs now is leadership, resolve and a sense of urgency to build on the work of individual districts and schools and to implement these efforts on a broader scale.
The reality of today's economy is that students must start preparing for life beyond high school from the moment they enter a freshman classroom. It's our job to make sure that our high schools are helping them do just that.

As an athlete Seb's talent and commitment earned twelve world records and two Olympic gold medals; the story of his early rivalry is set for cinema release in 2015. In presentations Seb shares the lessons from leading the most successful Games in modern times. He highlights the need to be seen to deliver on your vision, to put together a resilient team from diverse backgrounds, to communicate pre-emptively and to leave nothing at all to chance.
Using his political skills, his strategic know-how and a true passion for sport, Lord Coe won the bid to host the 2012 Olympics in London. Seven years later the Prime Minister thanked him for "lifting our hearts" after organising the most successful Games of modern times.
Seb first made his name as one of the greatest athletes of his generation. He set twelve world records over four distances, achieving four golds and three silver medals in the Olympics and European Championships. He tells the story in his autobiography, Running My Life. Talking about the setbacks as well as victories, he shows how he beat the competition by facing down everything in training: "You don't become a champion by turning up and hoping to get lucky."
In speeches Seb takes audiences from his own on-track rivalries to the lessons learned from London - overseeing an enormous infrastructure and logistical exercise in one of the world's great cities. He highlights the need to build a resilient and dependable team, from a variety of backgrounds; to be seen to deliver on your vision (even while under constant scrutiny); and to communicate pre-emptively and leave nothing to chance. Above all, he underlines the age-old proposition that no amount of theorising replaces 'the genius of hard work.'
Before he took on the Olympic role Seb served as a Member of Parliament, a Government Whip and Private Secretary to William Hague - which gives rise to numerous anecdotes. He also set up a chain of health clubs and acted as a global advisor to Nike.
Seb was honoured with a Life Peerage in 2002, becoming Lord Coe of Ranmore. He has since been appointed a KBE, and named 'Greatest Briton' in the Morgan Stanley Awards.

Listening to Seb you can't help recall your own favourite moment from London 2012 - be it Super Saturday, the Gamesmakers or Mo Farah winning a second gold. When you hear the behind-the-scenes stories and take in the true scale of the project, you realise quite how much Seb and his team achieved. He's not just a great leader – he's also an awesome communicator. JLA Agent Jeremy Frewer

Overall Experience
Comfortable room, bed, and service
May 20, 2015
Hotel and grounds were clean and well maintained. Grounds were well lit after dark making you feel safe when returning. Staff was courteous, friendly, and had big smiles on their faces. Candlewood would definitely be one of the places I would stay at again.
Convenient location, good customer service
May 19, 2015
We stayed here during our trip from Denver to Moab. It was clean and conveniently located. The hotel is somewhat out dated but we felt we received a good value for our stay. The staff at the front desk was very nice. The bed was comfortable and the heating and A/C system worked well.
May 13, 2015
big room with a little kitchen descent enough to stay at, we spent most of our time down at the surf side beach anyway.
Enjoyed our stay
May 12, 2015
This is our second visit to this location. We returned because we were pleased with our first visit. When we return to Lake Jackson, our plans would be to stay at Candlewood Suites again.

Holes remain in flight school scrutiny after 9/11
The stepped-up measures involving flight schools are not foolproof or uniform, however.
There are numerous flight instructors with access to planes and simulators who don't all get an annual TSA visit, and are subject only to random TSA inspections if they train only U.S. citizens. The TSA has access to a database of all student pilots that is maintained by the FAA. But TSA said it only runs the names of U.S.-citizen students against watch lists, and not necessarily before those students can start their programs.
TSA said the fingerprinting and criminal background checks done on foreign students before they can enter U.S. flight schools are not done on U.S. citizens. TransPac Aviation Academy in Phoenix tells domestic applicants they need proof of citizenship, a high school diploma or college transcripts, a medical card, a driver's license and any pilot licenses already held. Other schools do the same, said Tom Lippincott, TransPac's vice president of business development.
And one security measure never employed by the government, despite interest from the 9/11 commission, was requiring that transponders that help officials locate commercial planes can't be turned off as the hijackers did. The FAA said if there is an electrical fire or malfunction, pilots must be able to turn off the transponder for safety reasons.
The shortcomings have led schools to self-police.
Andre Maye, vice president of administration at Phoenix East Aviation in Daytona Beach, pays attention to red flags including inconsistencies in addresses applicants provide and discrepancies on financial statements. He monitors the size of wire transfers from students when they pay for their tuition, which can total $46,000 or more, and looks for consistency in the transactions.
James Coyne, president of the National Air Transportation Association, a trade group for aviation service businesses including flight training companies, said the industry is open to more rigorous and uniform vetting of students.
The safeguards in place haven't deterred foreign students from flocking to the U.S. - Sunrise Aviation's Murphy said the majority of students are international at many flight schools, including his.
They come because the training industry is more developed and efficient than programs at home. Also, pilot hiring in the U.S. is stagnant, while growth in Asia has fueled a need for pilots there. Students often come to the U.S. with their own money or financing.
Akshai Stephen, 27, of New Delhi, has been at Sunrise about five months. He said the month it took him to go through the approval process and start training didn't discourage him.
"What I thought was, just tell the truth, `I want to fly. I want to fly,'" he said. "If you are truthful and have good intentions, you have nothing to worry about."
Of the 41 recommendations in the 9/11 commission's report, none specifically addressed flight schools. Thomas Kean, the former New Jersey governor who chaired the commission, told The Associated Press the feeling at the time was that the federal government already was working to close that loophole.
Huffman Aviation, where Atta and Shehhi trained, closed after the attacks. Owner Rudi Dekkers said in a recent interview that considering what he knew 10 years ago, there is nothing he could have seen that would have alerted him to what his students were planning.
And despite the enhanced government screening today, he isn't convinced the same thing couldn't happen at another school.
"You have someone who doesn't behave, you think that makes them a terrorist?" Dekkers asked. "Then half the country is a terrorist."

Mumbai's realty market has hit rock bottom. With developers already struggling to sell flats, the upcoming Lok Sabha elections has further thrown a spanner in the works. Investors as well as prospective flat buyers are cautious about putting in their money in the realty sector and are adopting a wait-and-watch approach. This is reflected in the shrinking number of registration of sale agreements in the city.
According to the state's stamp duty and registration department, it registered 21,891 property sales in April 2013, earning a revenue of Rs207 crore. The figure for May 2013 was a little less – 20,892 properties with earnings of Rs201 crore.
The slump in the realty sector is more evident this year. While in January 2014, 20,432 properties were registered, the figure fell to 17,381 in February 2014 – a decline of 15 per cent. In terms of revenue, the amount earned by the state government through property sales fell from from Rs184 crore in January 2014 to Rs165 crore in February 2014.
"It is clearly an indication that the property market is on the decline and it will remain like that till the Lok Sabha election results are out. Most people, including investors, are adopting a wait-and-watch stand," said real estate expert Pankaj Kapoor.
Paras Gundecha, chairman of Gundecha Developers and ex-president of the Maharashtra Chamber of Housing Industry, agrees. He said because of upcoming elections, there isn't enough buzz in the real estate market. "The focus has shifted to the polls. Besides, buyers are expecting a correction in the market. Once the election results are out, property sales are certain to go up," Gundecha told dna.
Manohar Shroff, chairman of Shivam Developers, says the realty market has come to a standstill. "Only emergency and tax adjustment transactions are taking place. Everyone is waiting for the poll results.
People believe that if the BJP comes to power, a 10-15 per cent price correction is likely to happen. Last time too, when the BJP came to power, realty prices fell sharply. This time too, there will be a revamp of policies and speedy approvals with regard to environment clearances in case of a change of government at the Centre. It will help increase the supply, resulting in price correction," he said.
According to Pankaj Kapoor, managing director of real estate research firm Liases Foras, there are several reasons for the downward slide in the realty market. "Affordability is the main issue. The prices in Mumbai are way beyond the reach of the common man. Also, developers are caught in the quagmire of increased ready reckoner rates and high input costs. Developers are finding it difficult to reduce prices because of all these reasons," he said.
Agents brokering property deals too are dissuading buyers from investing in the real estate market till the election results are out. Most of these agents are affiliated with political parties and are busy with campaigning for the elections. Once a clear picture emerges after the conclusion of the Lok Sabha polls, the realty market may spring back to life.

Which sex is the worst about washing up? Why is it so important? We've got the dirty truth on how and when to wash your hands.
Body Mechanics
Topic Overview
Good body mechanics means practicing good posture throughout the day. Use good body mechanics all the time, not just when you have back pain.
- Keep your back in the neutral position—not too curved and not too flat.
- When you must stay in one position for long periods of time, take regular breaks to stretch and restore the neutral position of your back.
- When lifting, lift with your legs, not your back. See a picture of proper lifting techniques .
Slumping or slouching alone may not cause low back pain. But after the back has been strained or injured, bad posture can make pain worse. "Good posture" generally means your ears, shoulders, and hips are in a straight line. If this posture causes pain, you may have another condition such as a problem with a disc or bones in your back.
Standing or walking tips
- Keep your ear, shoulder, hip, and ankle in a line.
- Avoid locking your knees while standing. Place one foot on a low stool if you must stand in one position for a long time. Alternate feet.
Sitting tips
- Use proper sitting posture in your work environment. Sit with your back supported, feet flat on the floor, and shoulders relaxed. See a picture of proper sitting posture .
- Avoid sitting in one position for more than an hour at a time. Get up or change positions often.
- If you must sit a lot, make it a priority to do stretching exercises.
- If your chair doesn't give enough support, use a small pillow or rolled towel to support your lower back.
- To rise from a chair, keep your back in the neutral position and scoot forward to the edge of the chair. Use your leg muscles to stand up without leaning forward at the waist.
- For driving, pull your seat forward so that the pedals and steering wheel are within comfortable reach. Stop often to stretch and walk around.
If you think that your back problems are related to your workspace, talk to your employer about having your workstation evaluated. You may be able to reduce your chances of back problems and be more comfortable and efficient by setting up your workspace and work tools for your own personal needs.
