I went in for my 6 week check up lst Tuesday and found that the septum in my uterus in fact did cause me to go into labor at 24 weeks. There was a blood clot on the placenta when I passed it and my OB thought it could have been a placental abruption, and sent to to pathology. The results came back that it had occured the morning I had the baby, and I had already been in labor for 24 hours by the time the bleed occured. We discussed having the septum removed, he thinks this will happen again if it isn't removed before we get pregnant again. Has anyone else had this done? What should I expect?
Septum Removal
Comments (5)
So sorry to hear about your loss!! Its sadthat any of us have to go through this....yes I had thesurgery on june 6th and it wasnt bad at all, it was out patient and I had minimal cramping after and I was up moving around on day 3. I did find out at my post op appointment that they didnt get it all, I still have 1.4cm left so I have to go back for another surgery to get the rest oct 6th...its not totally uncommon to have to get the surgery done twice but to my understanding sometimes it depends on how big the septum is. The waiting sucks but I much rather have better odds carring to term...Wishing you the best!
Proud Navy wife Lisa.
My perfect rainbow baby boy born Jan 4th 2014.
How is Eli doing?
I had my septum resected July last year. Everything I've read indicates that having a septum resected will greatly reduce the risk of future pregnancy complications.
The surgery is often done with concurrent hysteroscopy and laparoscopy, but my surgeon and I agreed that the laparoscopy was probably unnecessary in my case (my doctor knew that I had a simple septate uterus with a convex fundus, and it was unlikely that I had endometriosus requiring removal). My hysterocopy was quick and easy. It took about an hour including going in and out of anesthesia. For me, hte general anesthesia was the worst part... it made me very nauseous, so I felt pretty bad for the first 6 hours after the surgery. (I've had general anesthesia before without this problem, so I'm not sure what was different that time.) I took one Vicodin that first day after I got home. I took ibuprofen over the next couple days. I took it easy, but I had resumed my daily 1+ mile walks with Peter by 4 days post-op. The Foley catheter they left in my uterus for 6 days was a bit uncomfortable (but not painful). After the catheter was removed, I felt 99% normal.
I'm glad that your placenta examination report was so informative and that it will help you move forward. My placenta examination report did not clearly implicate my septum for Peter's early arrival, but my septum was still the best explanation we could come up with.
Peter Thien arrived 07/2010 at 27w5d. Uterine septum resected 07/2011. Alina Kim arrived 03/2015 at 38w2d.
Need a baby book or NICU journal? Click here
I had my son at 22.5 weeks on 4/3/12 from an abruption. We chose no lifesaving measures. I too had a septum that I had resected on 7/2/12. I had an HSG 9/6/12 to confirm that it is fully removed. I am now TTC again. I also had laparoscopy to check for endometriosis, which was severe beind the uterus. My septum nearly divided my uterus.
The pain from the resection was minimal. I had great anti-naseau meds and never got sick (which is common for me with out the meds). The most pain was from the lap surgery. The 24-36 hours my abdomen was really sore and getting in and out of bed was painfull. But I kept on the vicodin for 3 days. It did take 2-3 weeks to really feel myself, but by week 4 I barely could tell I had any suregery.
I can't recommend the suregery more. I was and still am hoping that what happened before will not happen again. And with my early preg loss insurance covered everything. And since my deductible was met for having my son, I didn't have to pay anything!!
I see you have pics of your son Eli. I hope that he is still doing well. Good luck!
Erin & DH 2000-TTC since 1/2010--Angel Baby Chris Carter 4/3/12-Septum resected 7/2/12-MMC 11/24/12 @ 6.5 weeks--Dalton Daniel 10/24/13 @ 27 + 1
Thanks everyone! Eli is still in the NICU but is doing well. He is off the ventelator and on the last level of cpap. They have tried him off of it twice now, but he just isn't quite ready yet. He is now 3# 3oz, and a little over 15" long. He only needs to gain 2 oz and he can start wearing preemie clothes! His brain bleed that had occured in the first week is stable, with no changes and that is good so far. We are starting physical and massage therapy on him now to help his muscles stay loose and active. We'll need to continue with this when he gets home. He is an amazing little boy, and has taught me so much already. I love him with all my heart! I would have been 31 weeks pregnant with him now. I am really glad that I can have this problem fixed, I really dont want to go through this again!
That is great news!! I am so happy for you, and I will keep praying for Eli and your family!

Friendster and Facebook aren't so different after all. Wikipedia / Facebook

Hef who? Holly Madison has long forgotten the ex-boyfriend who made her famous. Rather than dishing the dirt on Mansion life and catfights this week, like Kendra Wilkinson and Bridget Marquardt, Holly headed to Cabo San Lucas, Mexico with boyfriend Criss Angel, who is on a two-week break from his Las Vegas show Believe. The happy couple hung out on the beach at their luxury resort and relaxed with friends. Criss reportedly has plans to take his Girls Next Door star girlfriend horseback and ATV riding while on their getaway. When they return to the states, Criss will resume his show and Holly will reportedly field offers to make cameos in several Vegas strip show acts.

Weekend Wrap for Sept. 9, 2011
Photoshop World coverage, and more!
Fuji Kills Off 6 Films
As Photoshop World kicks off in Las Vegas, the message of digital's dominence was driven home when Fujifilm Japan announced this week that several of its films were being discontinued:
- Fujichrome Sensia III 100
- Fujichrome T64 (35mm, 36 exposure)
- Astia 100F (120, 220, 4x5 regular and quickload, and 8x10)
- Velvia 100F (4x5 quickload; not to be confused with Velvia 100, which is still in production)
- Fujicolor Pro 160NC (4x5 both versions)
- Fujifilm Neopan SS (35mm, 36 exposures)
Perhaps you can get a similar effect with...
DxO Film Pack 3 simulates emulsion looks
Do you miss Tri-X, Kodachrome or Velvia as you've moved to digital image capture? DxO Film Pack 3 promises a revised user interface that lets you apply the looks of some 60 different films to your digital images. New in version 3: 10 new emulsions, a revamped user interface, additional color filters and black-and-white conversion controls, and both stand-alone and Photoshop plug-in versions. But buried within DxO's press release announcing version 3 is some big news: Sebastio Salgado recently switched from film to digital—and DxO FilmPack has apparently eased the pain. "DxO FilmPack has become a must-have step in my photographic workflow to render the unique Kodak Tri-X® grain on my large-format prints," he is quoted as saying.
Nik Color Efex Pro 4 has 55 filter effects
A flood of image editing programs and plug-ins were announced this week at Photoshop World. Nik's Color Efex Pro 4 Photoshop plug-in is the latest version of its digital filters for retouching and creative enhancements. 55 filters can be stackable for infinite combinations. Visual presets, filter recipes, and new filters including Detail Extractor, Image Borders, and Vintage Film Efex are among the new fitlers. A history browser is said to improve workflow and usability. Under the hood, GPU processing and multi-core optimization are claimed to speed up processing time. The full Pro edition will be available in October for $199.95. Upgrades from Version 2.0 or 3.0, and a stripped down, 26-filter "Select" edition, will cost $99.95. Scroll down to read the unedited press release.
onOne Unveils Perfect Photo Suite 6
The latest version of Perfect Photo Suite comes as both a Photoshop plug-in and as a standalone application so it can be used with Lightroom and Aperture as well. The new Suite includes Perfect Effects 3, Perfect Portrait 1, Perfect Mask 5, Perfect Layers 2, Perfect Resize 7, FocalPoint2 and PhotoFrame 4.6. According to onOne, the latest version will let photographers move easily between individual applications within the suite. The newest addition, Perfect Portrait 1, provides tools for portrait retouching and finds faces and features in images an can improve skin texture and color, remove blemishes and enhance eyes, lips and teeth easily. For details, read the onOne press release, below.
Corel Painter Pro adds HDR, Blend, Selective Focus, more
Corel is boasting "dramatic performance improvements" as well as new features in PaintShop Pro X4, its flagship image editing program. Corel says X4 has over 75 new and enhanced features, including: overhauled HDR Tools that let you merge multiple photos to get the widest dynamic range; Photo Blend for compositing people, objects or areas from multiple images; Fill Light and Clarity, which enhances shadow and detail areas; Selective Focus, which emulates the look of small-scale models; and the Vignette Tool, which applies soft, faded borders. Corel claims a 50% increase in processing speed as well. Scroll down for the full Corel press release.
Topaz B&W Effects, new plug-in, announced
Boasting stylized effects such as Cyanotype and Albumen and the look of other "historic" black-and-white films, as well as more popular black-and-white looks, Topaz B&w Effects is a new Photosohop plug-in. The software offers over 150 presets so users can quickly enhance images with a single click. The software will cost around $60. Scroll down to read the complete press release.
Toshiba Launches WiFi SDHC Card
There was other news unrelated to Photoshop World, and topping that list is Toshiba's launch of the FlashAir, which they say is the world's first SDHC memory card with embedded wireless LAN functionality. The 8GB card is said to support peer-to-peer photo transfers and uploads to and downloads from servers. Toshiba claims this can be done with lower power consumption than other WiFi-capable SDHC cards. The card will be available in February. Pricing was not announced.
Pentax Shows K-mount adapter for Q MILC
With the Pentax Q, the world's smallest interchangeable-lens camera, now in stock at Adorama (and currently being field-tested at Fashion Week by our ace fashion shooter Sandy Ramirez), Pentax Japan has unveiled plans for an adapter that will allow Pentax K-mount lenses to be used on the Q. No release date has been set. Intriguingly, nearly all K-mount lenses, thanks to the tiny sensor and resulting image crop that will force a 5.5x 35mm equivalent angle-of-view calculation, will be telephotos. The Pentax DA 40mm f/2.8 pancake lens, for example, would give you a 220mm equivalent angle of view. This could be good news for wildlife shooters who want to travel light: Pentax's 300mm f/4 would become a 1650mm equivalent on the Q. Hmmm...
...and finally: A Red Nikon DSLR?
It's only available in Europe, for now, but Nikon is trying something they've never done before: They've produced a DSLR that's not black. A limited edition red version of the D3100, unchanged on the inside, will be available later this month across the pond. Will the crimson version of Nikon's 14MP entry-level camera turn enough heads to encourage Nikon to bring it over to the States? It goes on sale later this month; we'll see.
Unedited press releases:

All products in the Perfect Photo Suite 6 now work as standalone applications in addition to working directly from within Adobe Photoshop Lightroom, Apple Aperture and Adobe Photoshop.
Giving photographers intuitive tools that work where they do, the Perfect Photo Suite 6 now offers solutions for photographic effects, portrait retouching, creating and working with multilayered files, replacing unwanted backgrounds, image resizing, depth of field control, and edge effects, in one affordable package. The Perfect Photo Suite 6 includes Perfect Effects 3, Perfect Portrait 1, Perfect Mask 5, Perfect Layers 2, Perfect Resize 7, FocalPoint 2 and PhotoFrame 4.6.
With this new version of the Perfect Photo Suite 6, photographers can now move effortlessly between individual applications within the Suite and have complete flexibility to use the products where they work. The Perfect Photo Suite 6 now operates not only as a plug-in for Photoshop but also as a standalone application. This additional functionality means that the Suite can be used directly within Lightroom and Aperture without the need for a separate host application as was previously required. Perfect Photo Suite 6 will continue to include full support for Photoshop CS5 and CS4 with many of the products now functioning as Smart Filters.
"We are extremely excited about Perfect Photo Suite 6," said Craig Keudell, president of onOne Software. "We have always set our sights on creating tools that help photographers create high quality images so that they can spend more time behind the camera or with clients, and less time behind the computer. With the release of the completely new products Perfect Portrait, Perfect Effects, Perfect Mask and the update to Perfect Layers, the Perfect Photo Suite 6 provides photographers with products that are even more intuitive to use, and that integrate seamlessly into their workflow, so that they can realize their photographic vision."
Perfect Photo Suite 6 includes full versions of the following onOne Software products:
Perfect Effects 3 (New!): Perfect Effects builds on the popularity of PhotoTools to provide an even faster and more powerful way to create images with impact. Perfect Effects 3 includes a complete library of professional photographic effects that can be previewed live, full screen, on an image before being applied. Perfect Effects 3 now includes blending options that provide even more control over how effects are combined and applied.
Perfect Portrait 1 (New!): Perfect Portrait is a completely new product that offers the latest innovations in portrait retouching for photographers. Photographers can now focus on the art of retouching and portrait creation because the most time consuming tasks have been automated in Perfect Portrait. Perfect Portrait automatically finds faces and features in images so that photographers can get directly to the work of retouching and enhancing an image. Improving skin texture and color, removing blemishes and enhancing features like eyes, lips and teeth have never been easier.
Perfect Layers 2 (New!): Perfect Layers allows photographers to combine photos for endless creative options. Create and edit multi-layered files with Perfect Layers directly from Lightroom and Aperture, or as a standalone application. All Perfect Layers files can be edited in Photoshop later. Perfect Layers is the heart of the new Perfect Photo Suite 6.
Perfect Mask 5 (New!): Perfect Mask 5 is the next generation of Mask Pro, the leading software for background replacement. Perfect Mask takes the core strengths of Mask Pro to another level, by automating many common masking tasks with incredible accuracy.

With Automatic Background Removal, an initial mask is made on the image and can then be fine-tuned using the Erase and Refine Tools. With these new features, high quality masks can be created in just a few clicks. Perfect Mask 5 makes masking tough subjects like hair and glass on complex backgrounds easy.
Perfect Resize 7: Perfect Resize 7—powered by Genuine Fractals—is the industry standard for image resizing. It is renowned across the photographic and printing industries for its ability to increase image size well over 1000% without the loss of sharpness or detail that is normally expected. The patented, fractal based interpolation algorithms work like nothing else and the results speak for themselves.
PhotoFrame 4: Add the perfect finishing touch to images and layouts with PhotoFrame. With over one thousand design elements like film edges, borders, textures, backgrounds and adornments, PhotoFrame 4.6 even has complete layouts where users can simply drop an image in and they are done. It is the easiest and fastest way to add an authentic darkroom touch with a film edge or to create beautiful albums or scrapbook pages.
FocalPoint 2: Like bringing the camera lens inside Photoshop, FocalPoint 2 gives photographers the best way to add the most realistic depth of field and selective focus control to any image after it is photographed. Photographers now have an incredible amount of flexibility and control over the look of the blur with FocalPoint 2's new blur algorithm, FocusBrush, Lens Presets and multiple FocusBug features.

September 6, 2011 – DxO Labs today announces the immediate availability of DxO FilmPack 3 at a special launch price starting at $49, until September 30.
DxO FilmPack 3 allows photographers from beginners to experts to authentically recreate the magic of dozens of black & white or color film stocks on their digital images in one click, offering limitless creative options.
Legendary black & white film photographer Sebastio Salgado, who recently migrated from silver halide to digital, said, "DxO FilmPack has become a must-have step in my photographic workflow to render the unique Kodak Tri-X® grain on my large-format prints."
- User-friendly interface (Windows and Mac)
- New film looks
- Additional color and B&W conversion controls
- Multiple plugins for better integration with the workflow
Building on its unique 10 years of recognized expertise in characterizing digital and film-based photographic systems, DxO Labs has worked with world class film processing facilities, Picto in Paris and Duggal in New York, to develop a unique film profiling process that ensures the most precise film simulation available on the market today. Users can easily give their images the appealing grain, color, saturation and contrast of famous film stocks, recalling the deep history of photography and rich legacy of each film look.
"Our thorough approach to accurately characterizing the unique rendering of each film allows DxO FilmPack 3 users to faithfully apply the visual signature of many iconic silver halide films, some of which are not available anymore, such as Kodachrome®," said Jerome Meniere, CEO of DxO Labs. "We put a strong focus on authenticity for all DxO FilmPack 3 renderings, developing our software in partnership with expert photographers having extensive knowledge of both film and digital photography, to ensure unrivaled film fidelity."
In addition to 10 new film looks and 10 new color filters, DxO FilmPack 3 also features new tools that provide photographers with full control of their images:
- Creation of customized film looks
- Hue/saturation/lightness sliders for additional color creative control
- Channel mixer for extended Black & White rendering styles
- Creative vignetting to give images a particular look
- Noise removal tool for more authentic grain rendering
DxO FilmPack 3's interface has been completely revamped. Photographers can now easily choose among the numerous built-in film looks thanks to the user-friendly filmstrip. This means that beginners can obtain good results with a single click, whereas experts will take advantage of all the advanced functionalities to fine-tune their pictures. The batch mode allows users to process hundreds of images at once for unparalleled productivity.
For optimal flexibility, each DxO FilmPack 3 license includes the standalone application as well as plugins for Adobe® Photoshop® CS4/CS5, Adobe® Lightroom® 3, Apple® Aperture® 3, and DxO Optics Pro 6. In addition, DxO FilmPack 3 can be used as a Smart Filter in Adobe ® Photoshop®
. All can be simultaneously installed on two computers.

Advice for 2 Day Layover in Iceland
Good afternoon, We will be spending two days in Iceland en route to other destinations in Europe and were wondering if anyone has any advice or prior travel experience. Although we tend to be independent in our traveling with only two days to tour the country I am thinking it may be best to book an excursion with a tour operator each day instead of exploring on our own. We will be based out of Reykjavik. Any suggestions for "must-see" sights, excursions, or recommended tour operators? Thank you all so much! Aaron

Originally written on Fox Sports Midwest | Last updated 4/27/13
(AP) -- The St. Louis Blues' dominance this month sent them back to the playoffs, but their seeding is still undecided ahead of the regular-season finale. The top-seeded Chicago Blackhawks are the only team that's been better than the Blues in April. St. Louis attempts to gain home-ice advantage in the first round of the playoffs Saturday night when they try to beat the Blackhawks for just the second time in seven tries. The Blues (28-17-2) have won 11 of 14 this month after beating Calgary 4-1 on Thursday. That impressive stretch has moved them into fourth in the Western Conference, one point ahead of Los Angeles and San Jose. St. Louis only holds the tiebreaker against the Sharks, who host the Kings later Saturday. Beating Chicago (36-6-5) would ensure the Blues avoid potentially dropping into sixth to face Vancouver in the opening round. However, they're 1-3-2 over the last six meetings with the Blackhawks, falling 2-0 at home in the latest matchup April 14. St. Louis has s...

So I've always given my little brother my previous generation hardware when I upgrade, which is annually. I recently moved up to New York City though and he's still in Miami. He doesn't know much about tech at all is the issue, so I usually set up the new stuff for him as well. Without me being there I'd like to leave the mobo, cpu, closed corsair liquid cooler, and power supply all attached inside the tower. Leaving him with simple plug and play cards, moving drives over, etc.
What do you guys think the best way to get this shipped to him would be? The case is one of those larger Antec 1200s. It's a good 60+ lbs. I don't want stuff to get damaged, but I don't know how well any shipper would take care that weight trying to move it around haha.
What do you guys recommend?

•10 ASPCA Orange Wristbands (to give to your friends)
•ASPCA Message Tee of your choice

The sweepstakes ends on September 29. Enter for your chance to win today!
In preparation for Hurricane Isaac, the ASPCA Field Investigations and Response (FIR) Team has kicked into high gear and headed to the Southeast, providing communities in need with transport, planning, grants and other assistance.
Today, at the request of the Humane Society of Southern Mississippi (HSSM) in Gulfport, we're relocating animals from that shelter to the Broward County Humane Society in Florida.
"Having been through Hurricane Katrina and responding to numerous disasters, we learned that by assisting agencies with pre-evacuation efforts and getting animals out of harm's way, we can greatly reduce the number of animals impacted by the hurricane," says Dr. Dick Green, FIR Team Director of Disaster Response.
"The ASPCA is pleased to be in a position to assist the Humane Society of South Mississippi and be part of a collaborative effort to relocate these dogs and give them a second chance," he adds.
Dr. Green and the FIR team are monitoring the situation closely and have organized sheltering and water rescue teams to support the local agencies as needed.
The ASPCA is also providing emergency grants in communities affected by Isaac, including to the Louisiana State Animal Rescue Team to increase its water rescue capacity.
In a happy coincidence, 89 dogs are making their way from Baton Rouge Animal Alliance in Louisiana to New York aboard a Sumter Disaster Animal Response Team vehicle, part of a scheduled transport arranged through the ASPCA Animal Relocation program. The dogs, mostly small-breed adults and large-breed puppies, will get a second chance at finding loving families at Pets Alive shelters in Westchester and Orange counties.
If you live in an area threatened by severe weather, the most important thing you can do for animals is ensure the safety of your own pets. For more information on how to keep yourself and your pet safe in an emergency, please read our complete list of Disaster Readiness tips.
Watch this blog for more updates on the ASPCA's response to Isaac.
You did it! In the final days of California's legislative session, animal advocates have scored a major victory by securing passage of S.B. 1221, a bill to prohibit the use of dogs to pursue and kill wildlife like bears, cougars and bobcats.
It was a real nail-biter and there was very loud opposition by hunters, but thanks to our amazing California Advocacy Brigade, outstanding leadership from the bill's sponsor, Senator Ted Lieu, and help from Senate President pro Tem Darrell Steinberg, this important humane measure passed the Senate last night and is now on its way to Governor Jerry Brown for his signature.
Californians, we still need you!
Governor Brown has until September 30 to act on this bill—and of course, hound hunters are bombarding him with phone calls demanding he veto it. If you are a California resident, we urge you to call the governor's office at (916) 445-2841 to leave a message stating your support for S.B. 1221.
Keep your message short and polite:
"I urge Governor Brown to sign into law S.B. 1221 to ban the cruel practice of hounding our bears and bobcats. Californians strongly oppose this inhumane and unsporting activity because it harms wildlife as well as dogs who are injured and abandoned. Thank you."
Learn more about the California hounding bill and send an email to Governor Brown here.
It's time for California to stop hounding its bears and bobcats to death, as well as spare dogs from the cruelty of this practice. Let's get this done! Thank you for caring.
ASPCA President & CEO Ed Sayres discusses the new Louisville partnership with WDRB Fox 41 this morning.
We have some exciting news for Kentucky residents! A big congratulations goes out to three Louisville animal welfare organizations—Louisville Metro Animal Services, the Kentucky Humane Society and Alley Cat Advocates—for joining our ASPCA Partnership program. These organizations will gain access to various ASPCA resources, expertise and guidance, including strategic planning support, statistical analysis, training and participation in ground-breaking research projects.
ASPCA President Ed Sayres is in Louisville today to kick off this exciting new collaborative effort. "We look forward to the future success of this collaboration in Louisville, as these agencies already have displayed tremendous growth potential by working well together on joint adoption events and spay/neuter clinics," he says. "By continuing to build on those accomplishments, we know our partners will be able to affect positive changes for animals most at risk in the Louisville community."
Last year, nearly 20,000 homeless pets entered these three Louisville agencies. Through this partnership, we hope to assist with shelter overcrowding, increased pet adoptions and targeted spay/neuter programs.
"Working together, we will improve the lives of cats and dogs in our community," says Lori Redmon, president and CEO of the Kentucky Humane Society, "ensuring every pet is offered a second chance at finding happiness."
Congratulations, Louisville partners, and keep up the great work!
Please visit ASPCA Partnership for more information.
As Tropical Storm Isaac bears down on the Gulf Coast, we have some essential storm safety tips for pet parents.
• Bring pets indoors at the first sign of the storm. Animals can become disoriented and wander away from home during a disaster.
• Arrange a safe haven for yourself and your pets in the event of evacuation. Do not leave pets behind.
• Store an emergency kit—with items such as pet food, bottled water, medical records, a blanket, a flashlight and leashes—as close to an exit as possible.
• Make sure all pets wear collars and tags with up-to-date identification.
• Affix a rescue alert sticker to your front door or window to let rescuers know that there are pets inside your home.
• Choose a designated caregiver to take care of your pet in the event you are unable to do so.
No matter where you live, it's always a good idea to develop an evacuation plan well in advance of a major storm or emergency.
"Disasters threaten the safety of people and animals alike, and it's often too late to create a plan for your pets when you're in the middle of a crisis," says Tim Rickey, Senior Director of the ASPCA Field Investigations and Response Team.
For more information on how to keep yourself and your pet safe in the event of an emergency, please read our complete list of Disaster Readiness tips.

Respond to Review of Candle Cafe
by justingross
Review: My friend and I went there last month and enjoyed our dinner. I had heard alot about this place and since I was in the city for a night, I thought we'd make our way there. Nice atomsphere. The tables are a little too close together, but, hey, it's NYC. But the food was really good. I only wish the portions were a bit bigger because the pricing is on the higher side. But I will return. It was an enjoyable night out.

Andrew Wakefield, the British doctor who stands accused of committing 'deliberate fraud' in his 1998 study linking vaccines to autism, continues to spread the word—misinformation, that is—about the causes of autism. The Star Tribune reports that, this Wednesday, Wakefield 'met privately with a gathering of Somali parents' in the Twin Cities area; the meeting was described as a 'support group' to reporters, who were barred from participating.
Wakefield has been struck off the medical register in the United Kingdom and is no longer allowed to practice medicine there. Scientists and medical professionals have widely acknowledged that Wakefield's error-ridden study set off a worldwide public health crisis by causing many parents to choose to forego vaccinations for their children, thereby making them susceptible to serious infectious diseases like measles and whooping cough.
There have indeed been outbreaks in the US of these two diseases in the past few years. Most recently, health officials in Minnesota have reported an alarming rise in measles cases among children in the Twin Cities area. As of Wednesday, 11 measles cases have been confirmed in Hennepin County since February, according to the Star Tribune. At least three of the those cases have occurred among unvaccinated children in the Somali community in Minneapolis.
Health officials have reported, and have not been able to account for, a recent disproportionately high number of cases of autism spectrum disorder among Somali children. Some parents in the Somali community, having learned of claims that vaccines or something in vaccines might be linked to autism, have chosen not to vaccinate their children. Local and state heath officials in Minnesota are planning, says the Star Tribune, a forum this Saturday for Somali immigrants, to discuss the outbreak of measles and the need to make sure that their children are vaccinated.
I am hopeful, though it is probably a false hope, that someone is also keeping those Somali parents informed about the extent to which Wakefield's 1998 findings have been discredited; that earlier this year, the British Medical Journal published articles detailing how Wakefield had falsified data in his 1998 study
That you don't die from autism, but you can die from measles, and horribly.

Dr Wakefield is just one of many doctors who should be commended for trying to educate people about the huge risks of vaccination, instead he has been singled out, brutally ridiculed and unfairly discredited. It's obvious that the pharmaceutical companies making a fortune from the vaccinations don't want the public to know the full extent of the harm they cause, but the overwhelming evidence against vaccines (from many credible sources other than Dr. Wakefield) speaks for itself.
Vaccines are definitely causing brain-damage and autism symptoms, but even worse than that, VACCINATIONS ARE KILLING PEOPLE and Kristina Chew should not be permitted to put such blatantly biased misinformation on the Care2 site.
I'm certainly going to complain about Kristina Chew and if she continues to post articles spreading blatant propaganda on Care2 then I won't be visiting this site again.
This article is inaccurate and totally misleading.
Dr. Andrew Wakefield has been officially cleared of the false allegations against him, and his accusers (the British Medical Journal and it's reporter Brian Deer) have been found to be the ones who are guilty of fraud, so Kristina Chew should get her facts right before she publicly slanders people:
Also, it is a proven fact that vaccines are harming and killing huge numbers of people worldwide, especially children.
Recently 6 young children died in Japan after receiving the DPT vaccine, some of them within minutes of being injected.
There have already been at least 63 deaths and 18,000 side effects (including 18 disrupted pregnancies) reported in males and females who received the HPV Vaccine Gardasil.
Official statistics show that annually between 100-300 children are killed by vaccines in the US alone, (millions of dollars in compensation has been paid out to affected families already) and every year as many as 10,000 SIDS deaths in America can be linked to vaccine complications. That's horrifying enough, but the numbers are actually much higher since only about 1-5% of adverse reactions to vaccines are reported.
If people were aware of all the toxic vaccine ingredients (such as heavy metals and aborted human and animal fetal tissue,etc) and their numerous side effects they would definitely think twice about consenting to vaccination
Angelica, Jennifer H. and all you others on this thread who have brains to think with, and who do their research, as I do - is there any way that we can get this Chew woman removed from Care2? As a journalist here, I mean. Anyone can have a profile, of course, but raving lunatics should not be allowed to have the privilege of writing for Care2. What she is doing amounts to gross and repeated libel. Can the powers at Care2 not see this?
Who is willing to make a joint complaint to Care2? If we all raise enough fuss, surely they must do something? Or . . . has Big Pharma gotten to Care2 as well?
Wait a minute?! Someone here wrote that they know Chew in real life and she has an Autistic child! Ok NOW I get it. This is a whole guilt/denial thing! Seen this quite a bit. A parent can't handle the idea that they might have damaged their child via shots so they go on the attack. The denial is so strong that they continue to damage and poison their child with more shots. Anything to prevent them from feeling any responsibilty.
Of course anyone who has a child damaged by shots can't be realistically blamed even if they ignored warnings. The whole society which is wrapped around this medical business pushes them on us and if you diverge from 'the plan' then you are an outsider... Or even abusing/neglecting your child. Add brainwashed family pressure and articles like this and it can be overwhelming for those who might be of... weaker constitution?
But, I have never been afraid of what people think when I'm doing what is right. I sincerely feel bad for Chew now. Pity her and her poor child. She knows the facts now even if she pretends they don't exist. This means every shot into her son is, well, you get the idea... Her guilt is now deserved and I hope it tastes delicious for her sake.
Quite obvious that Chew has climbed onto the BashWakefield boat in an attempt to gain popularity. Sorry Chew, but you are a flea among many other bigger pests. Everything you write is crap. You know what? What you're writing is defamation of this man's character. Even better, this article is FRAUD because vaccines have NOT NOT been exonerated in the study of Autism. In FACT (sorry you're probably not too familiar with that word... Google it) the Centers for Disease Control are saying that they are studying vaccines as the or one of the causes for Autism.
Again, I'm sure you must know this so you must be deliberately out to misinform the public. Do you work for a major pharmaceutical company?
Thanks April and others for standing up to Kristina Chew again. Obviously she never reads the comments to her posts or else chooses to stick her head in the sand because her claims have been refuted over and over again.
Mike: Wakefield's findings have been replicated, most recently at Chapel Hill, NC.
It's truly amusing (but sad) how people are raving on here about the terrible killer dangers of measles. Anybody remember back in the day when moms used to take their kids over to the house of the kid with measles so their kids would get it? It was a normal, routine childhood disease. Nowadays, people talk about it like it's the bubonic plague. Death! Danger! A threat to us all!
Wakefield is not responsible for the upswing in parents not vaccinating, and no amount of hatemongering and bashing him is going to make him go away, simply because he validates the experience so many parents have had whose children lapsed into autism following vaccination.
If your child is autistic and didn't become so after a vaccine, that doesn't give you the right to disparage those whose children did, or to accuse them of being fools, tools, or conspiracy theorists.
Usually I post links on Kristina's posts to studies that support an autism/vaccine link or at least show true vaccine dangers, but today, I'm just tired. Tired that she keeps on posting this b.s. over and over and over and over and over.....
It amazes me that Kristina Chew repeatedly posts about Dr. Wakefield, based on what OTHERS say about him, not words which come directly from his mouth.
One man is at the root of all the controversy regarding Wakefield, and his name is Brian Deer. He's a journalist. Yes, the Lancet retracted Wakefield's paper (with Deer's help)...after 12 freaking years.
Ms. Chew has never, to my knowledge, posted words from Dr. Wakefield's own mouth. If you listen to him speak, he explains how his words have been twisted and mis-quoted. He explains how key parts of, and facts regarding, his research have been intentionally left out, as to lead you in the wrong direction.
Before you judge him, listen to him. You are not his judge, and not his jury. He has done more to benefit children than any of you ever will.
What is Ms. Chew's agenda for continually smearing Dr. Wakefield? Who knows. And you, yes, you...yoo-hoo, you the reader...have you actually read the Wakefield study? Do you really know what it was all about? Or...do you only know what the media and people like Ms. Chew tell you? If you haven't read the study, or listened to Wakefield talk about it, then who are you to comment on it anyway? I mean, really. Don't be a sheep. Look at the study. Listen to the man. You will see that things aren't quite like they are portrayed to be around here...
Thank you MIke and all the best to you and your son.
A recent paper that links thimerosal and neurological disorders, including autism:
Lasting neuropathological changes in rat brain after intermittent neonatal administration of thimerosal (a compound containing mercury).
1. Wakefield was not opposed to vaccination for measles, indeed he had submitted a patent application for a new vaccine just before his paper appeared. His 1998 paper suggests the mixed MMR vaccine is the problem. Quote:
"Viral encephalitis [a complication of measles] can give rise to autistic disorders, particularly when it occurs early in life. Rubella virus is associated with autism and the combined measles, mumps, and rubella vaccine (RATHER THAN MONOVALENT MEASLES VACCINE) has also been implicated."
2. Measles can kill. Vaccination works. US cases fell from 3 million per year (48,000 hospitalizations, 450 deaths, 1,000 permanently disabled) to about 50 per year after vaccination began. Measles frequency has increased since parental objection to vaccination began, e.g. 131 cases in the first half of 2008.
3. Mercury dimethyl and its metabolite methylmercury are very toxic, ethylmercury much less so. Thimerosal metabolizes to ethylmercury. It was originally added to vaccines to kill extraneous bugs, especially staph. Todays childhood vaccines DO NOT contain mercury though flu vaccines do. The amount of mercury in the vaccine is less than that in a can of tuna which contains methylmercury.
4. Brian Deer, Wakefields journalist enemy, is not a pharma shill. He took on pharma in outing serious side effects of Bactrim which led to its discontinued use in the UK.
5. Wakefield's license was suspended after a 217 day hearing, not

Why make a site like that to be Invite only, I would have thought that the more users who are able to acces it the better the results.

Gear Question
Does anyone know the dimensions of this?...
Does anyone know the dimensions of this? I need something that is under 55x40x20cm (21x15x7inch). It also needs to be light and hardy.
David Throgmartin
It is bigger than what you are looking for. Per the Osprey web site its dimensions are:
In: 25.6 x 11.8 x 11.4
I think you are going to have a hard time finding a pack with suspension that will fit the 7 inch dimension. I did find the Manta on Osprey's web site that is close to what you are looking for:
In: 19.3 x 9.1 x 7.5

Why Comics Need to Change, Part 1: Continuity and Copyrights

|Why Comics Need to Change, Part 1: Continuity and Copyrights
|(Blog) (Forum)
|(Back) (Next)
There is nothing in the world like comics. Assuming a uniform publishing schedule is the norm, every thirty days, the newest issue of your favorite title hits the stands, and for thirty-two pages, you thrill to the continuing adventures of your favorite comic characters. Yet, the stories aren't always continuing, because comics get to hit the "restart" button every so often, which is what makes them unlike anything else. They are, for the most part, continuing stories, like soap operas, but in a soap opera, characters can't disappear without explanation, or magically age or deage. Kids they can't do anything with go off to camp and aren't heard from again until they're older, but the rest of the story moves on. The next generation of characters is continually being introduced, because the actors are getting older, and introducing new characters is the only way to insure the show's future. Whereas in a comic, something happens to "reboot" continuity, and the origins suddenly happened this year, instead of seventy-five years ago, and they start retelling the same stories. Yet ten years later, when the fans have gotten older, the companies inexplicably decide that the characters can't get older, because they won't be relatable to the younger readers, so they start the process all over again.
That made sense in 1959, when the superhero comic had suffered a ten year lag, and DC rebooted their line with new characters that had the same names as the old characters. That reboot was about preserving the copyright on the character and title names, and updating the characters to something more modern than what was published ten years previous. It even made sense in 1985, when DC did Crisis on Infinite Earths. That reboot was about changing their continuity to something less confusing, and while they were at it, updating the origins from the late Fifties/ early Sixties, into the late Eighties. Both of those reboots are something that had to be done, because they felt the characters had to be a certain age to be relatable to fans, and if they didn't reboot, the characters would age out of the range of what would be interesting to readers. That made sense in 1959 and 1985, because the reprint volume wasn't in vogue then, and the only way to keep the copyright on the character and title names current was in the monthly titles.
Now that the trade paperback (or graphic novel, as it's now commonly known) is a regular part of the publishing schedule for comics, there is absolutely no reason that comics continuity can't actually be continuous. Wonder Woman can have children and age, Batman can die and pass on the mantle, Spider-Man can pass on his powers to a mutant daughter and retire, and the original Teen Titans can take over their mentors' slots in the Justice League. Superman can even die in a story that's worthy of being called The Death of Superman. All of this stuff can happen, and the copyrights would still be okay, because the reprint volumes are still out there. As long as the company can continue to put out new printings of the graphic novels, the copyrights on the character names are secure, and the current titles can move on in their continuity, telling new stories, with new (or just older) characters, instead of retreading the old stories for a third or fourth round.

Smart Road in Pike County is home to a field of beautiful flowers.
I get the chance to drive by this field daily, and it is really a nice view. Hopefully, it will not be ruined by the despicable people that are dumping their trash all over the area. It is getting ridiculous. I hope the ignorant people that are dumping their trash actually read this. You are a nasty idiots. The residents are going to catch you, and have you hauled off to jail. Thanks for dumping that freezer of old meat(with the plastic and containers, the constant bags of trash, dumping all those fish by the creek, and all those deer carcases during hunting season. We are in the process of setting up our on cameras, since we can't get help on a county road in Troy. Next time you dump, be sure to smile. ;o)

My husband hasn't been interested in having sex since the baby started really moving. We both work 12-14 hour days, but on opposite shifts so we rarely see each other. When we do, I'd like to get that connection back!
He's not worried too much about hurting her, or me, or any of the other common "daddy" complaints I hear so often. Even before we actually have sex, if we're being romantic and he feels her move it puts him off. I think he's embarrased to be sexy "in front of her." Any other time, he likes to feel her wiggle so it's really only in this context that he has trouble.
I've told him she's not conscious of what we're doing, and that her movements are caused by me getting excited. Doesn't work. Any other tips I should try?? I'd hate to think that emotional link is severed until after baby is here and my body has recovered. Snuggling is good, but just not the same. (physically, we have solutions and support each other using them, but no vibrator on earth can make me feel loved!)

Pope Francis opens ministry with installation Mass
But it is Francis' history of living with the poor and working for them while archbishop of Buenos Aires that seems to have resonated with ordinary Catholics who say they are hopeful that Francis can inspire a new generation of faithful who have fallen away from the church.
"I think he'll revive the sentiments of Catholics who received the sacraments but don't go to Mass anymore, and awaken the sentiments of people who don't believe anymore in the church, for good reason," said Judith Teloni, an Argentine tourist guide who lives in Rome and attended the Mass with a friend.
Francis has made headlines with his simple style since the moment he appeared to the world on the balcony of St. Peter's Basilica, eschewing the ermine-lined red velvet cape his predecessor wore in favor of the simple papal white cassock, then paying his own bill at the hotel where he stayed prior to the conclave that elected him pope.
He has also surprised - and perhaps frustrated - his security detail by his impromptu forays into the crowds, but he seems to
During Tuesday's Mass, Francis will receive the woolen pallium, or stole symbolizing his role as shepherd of his flock, and also the simple gold-plated silver fisherman's ring that is a symbol of the papacy.
A wax cast of the ring was first presented to Pope Paul VI, who presided over the second half of the Second Vatican Council, the 1962-65 meetings that revolutionized the church. Paul never wore it but the cast was subsequently made into the ring that Francis chose among several other more ornate ones.
Francis will receive each of the government delegations in St. Peter's Basilica after the Mass, and then hold an audience with the visiting Christian delegations on Wednesday. He has a break from activity on Thursday; a gracious nod perhaps to the fact that the Archbishop of Canterbury, Justin Welby, is being installed that day in London.
As a result, Welby won't be representing the Anglican Communion at Tuesday's installation Mass for Francis, sending instead a lower-level delegation. All told, six sovereign rulers, 31 heads of state, three princes and 11 heads of government will be attending, the Vatican said.
More than a half-dozen Latin American presidents are attending, a sign of the significance of the election for the region. Francis, named after the 13th-century friar known for his care of the most disadvantaged, has made clear he wants his pontificate to be focused on the poor, a message that has resonance in a poverty-stricken region that counts 40 percent of the world's Catholics.
For Jews, Orthodox and other religious leaders, the new pope's choice of Francis as his name is also important for its reference to the Italian town of Assisi, where Pope John Paul II began conferences encouraging interfaith dialogue and closer bonds among Christians.
