Was hosted by the Battlefords Amateur Radio Association in Battleford Saskatchewan on July 27.
Hamfest was a sucess, we all had a great time!
Information on major prize winners and pictures
Sask Hamfest 2013
Bill Slaughter - VE7WS passed away May 18th., at the age of 73. We send our deepest sympathies to his family.
Many amateurs in Canada but especially in the west, knew and have done business with Bill over the years. Bill operated Burnaby Radio for over 20 years and prior to this was involved with an early Ham Radio company, Glenwood Trading.
I can remember doing business with Bill at Glenwood Trading back in my early days as a new Ham. Bill attended several Saskatchewan Hamfests where I got to meet him in person. Through Bill, Burnaby Radio was one of the last Amateur Radio dealer to attend our Hamfests in many years. I purchased my current HF rig, a TS-590 from Bill when they first became available in Canada. I was pleasantly surprised when I called. He told me that as a long time customer he was giving me a special discount price... And it was a special price, much cheaper than any other dealer, even in the US. He told me that he knew I had dealt with him for a long time and could remembered me from back to the Glenwood Trading days.
Bill was a real gentleman whose word could be trusted. It was always a pleasure to talk with him on the phone and even better when we met in person. Unfortunately, we never had the opportunity to have a QSO on the air. Bill will be miss by all who know him!
Burnaby Radio was Bills passion and as his age advanced and despite medical problems, he had kept the business running, even when it meant reducing the days of operation.
What will happen to Burnaby Radio? Bill has had some help in keeping things going for the past few years. So far, it sounds like Mike - VE7HMW, who has been working in sales and service for several years, will try to keep things running. I think Bill would be happy to have things keep going...
Some pages are not finished but the information may be on the old site.

Did you know that Environment Canada has a radio network?
In Canada The Rules are Different!
Amateurs from other countries may think that we are operating illegally. In Canada, we have no sub-bands for phone and CW in our HF bands. most amateurs comply with the gentlemen's agreement..

I tried a expriment today.
I went out on my bike and decided not to change gear on the entire ride.
The result was that i really enjoyed just riding the bike on not thinking about changing gear.The thing was i dont think i was any slower than when using gears,i had to stand on some hills
and i will admitt i coasted down some hills.But i had a good work out,and had to work my legs.So when training is it best not to use gears?.Thus just concentrating on turning the pedals.

Endler's Livebearer Question?
Hello all, I may have an empty 5 gallon in the next 1.5-2 months, and was wondering if I could place 2 Male Endlers together. Thanks for any answers!
Ive got 2 male endlers together in a community tank, they don't seem to be bothered by eachother mainly after the female guppies! I did have at 1 point both together whilst quarantine and noticed no issues.
Yes you can, you could probably keep 3 possibly 4 males together in a 5 gallon

Intermediate PowerPoint XP
Module 1
|Review of PowerPoint Basics
This module will cover the topics in the bulleted list below relating to PowerPoint Basics. Complete each of the activities by following the steps enumerated in the yellow box. Some of the activities will be accompanied by demos to help you "see" the steps being performed before trying them yourself. At the end of this module, you will be given an assignment which you should complete and email as an attachment to email@example.com .
|Activity 1: Views
1. Open PowerPoint to a blank presentation. (Start -> Programs -> PowerPoint.) Explore the various views available.
Normal view
Normal view is the main editing view, which you use to write and design your presentation. The view has three working areas: on the left, tabs that alternate between an outline of your slide text (Outline tab) and your slides displayed as thumbnails (Slides tab); on the right, the slide pane, which displays a large view of the current slide; and on the bottom, the notes pane.
The Outline and Slides tabs change to display an icon when the pane becomes narrow, and if you only want to see the current slide in the window as you edit, you can close the tabs with a Close box in the right corner.
Drag the splitter bar to narrow the pane; the tab names turn into icons. You can adjust the size of the different panes in normal view by dragging the pane borders.
Slide pane In the slide pane, you can see how your
text looks on each slide. You can add graphics, movies, and sounds, create
hyperlinks, and add animations to individual slides.
Notes pane The notes pane lets you add your speaker
notes or information you want to share with the audience. If you want to
have graphics in your notes, you must add the notes in notes page view.
These panes are also displayed when you save your presentation as
a Web page. The only difference is that the outline pane displays a table
of contents so that you can navigate through your presentation.
Slide sorter view
Slide sorter view is an exclusive view of your slides in thumbnail form.
When you are finished creating and editing your presentation, slide sorter gives you an overall picture of it — making it easy to reorder, add, or delete slides and preview your transition and animation effects.
Slide show view
Slide show view takes up the full computer screen, like an actual slide show presentation. In this full-screen view, you see your presentation the way your audience will. You can see how your graphics, timings, movies, animated elements, and transition effects will look in the actual show.
Activity 2: The Task Pane
1. Open PowerPoint to a blank presentation. Explore the Task Pane located on the right hand side of your screen. If it is not visible, go to the View menu and click on "Task Pane".
The Task Pane
Microsoft PowerPoint 2002 includes several task panes (task pane: A window within an Office application that provides commonly used commands. Its location and small size allow you to use these commands while still working on your files.) that help you complete the following tasks:
General navigational tips
New Presentation task pane
Clipboard task pane
Basic Search task pane
Advanced Search task pane
Slide Layout task pane
Slide Design task pane
Custom Animation task pane
Slide Transition task pane
View Buttons and View Menu
Back to Index
|Sides, Layouts, Text, and Formatting
|Activity 2: Sides,
Layouts, Text, and Formatting
1. Insert a new slide by choosing New Slide from the Insert menu. Each time you insert a new slide you must choose a slide layout from the Task Pane.
2. Type a title and subtitle for your slide. Various layouts contain pre-formatted text boxes with placeholder text. Replace the placeholder text with text of your own.
3. To format text, first select it and then choose Font from the Format menu. You may also use the Formatting toolbar and the Font color option on the Drawing toolbar.
4. Format the background of your slide. To format the background, choose options from the Format menu. You may choose to apply a Slide Design, change the Background color, or change the slide Color Scheme.
Back to Index
|Slide Transitions and Animations
|Activity 3: Slide
Transitions and Animations
1. Create 2 or three additional slides. It doesn't matter what content you add to the slides - we just need a sample presentation to practice transitions and animations with. To apply transitions to a slideshow, it is usually easiest to switch to Slide Layout view (from the View menu or from the button on the Views toolbar). Then choose Select All from the Edit menu. Next, choose Slide Transition from the Slideshow menu.
Choose a transition effect from the drop down menu
Next, Choose the slide advance options (either mouse click or automatically after _ seconds). Click Apply.
3. To animate objects on a slide, first switch to Slide view. Select the text or object on the slide that you wish to animate. Then choose Custom Animation from the Slide Show menu. In the Custom Animation Task pane you may apply animations, sound effects, and adjust the order and timing of the objects on the slide.
When you have finished this practice presentation consisting of 3-4 slides, email it as an attachment to the address below.

BOOM!ProWilma | Dec. 8, 2012 | Review of Borderlands 2 post - PC
Borderlands 2 is even wilder and more outrageous than the first one, implementing more weapons with a variety of ammo, rarity and new weapon sounds. The characters are even more diverse this time, with NPC's hailing the most interesting and enjoyable dialogue this year. The action is never short lived, with plenty of gunfights, explosions and bad guys to shoot. Overall great game.

April 13, 1939 - Feb. 22, 2013
Jean Taylor lived her life with a passionate desire to glorify Jesus Christ in all of her thoughts and actions.
Born Virginia Jean Herbert to parents Sid and Eva, she grew up in Elk Grove, CA, as an
only child. She attended Sacramento State College where she obtained a degree in elementary education. In addition to teaching school, she was deeply involved in music, as both a piano instructor and church pianist.
While in college, Jean met and married Jeff Mahnke. They were married forty years. They raised their four children in a loving and Christ-centered home in Applegate, CA.
Although pressured by the grief of her husband's Parkinson's disease, Jean was faithful to love Jeff, and rest her hope in Jesus Christ. Jeff passed away in 2002.
Jean met Doug Taylor at a church Bible study in Bend. They realized a deep love for each other, and a common heart of love for Christ. They married in July 2003. Together Doug and Jean invested their lives in encouraging their family, supporting the ministry of Highland Baptist Church, and participating in extended ministry trips to Mexico.
Jean is survived by her husband, Doug Taylor; and her four children; and their families, Mike and Diana Mahnke of Bend, OR; Bill and Kittie Mahnke and their children, Colin, Abbi, and Karis of Redmond, OR; Mark and Holly Mahnke and their children, Alli, Erica and McKenna of Redmond, OR; Sarah Elliott and her children, Madison, Ethan and Flore of Bend, OR.
Those who knew Jean best were touched by her love for others, enthusiasm for living and gentle presence. She would attribute this to her relationship with the Lord. Even with cancer, she knew she was in the care of her Heavenly Father, and her hope was unshakable.
A memorial service will be held Thursday, February 28, at 11:00 a.m., at Highland Baptist Church in Redmond.
Autumn Funerals, Redmond, is in charge of the arrangements.
Jean Taylor

Inability to recognize sensory stimuli (sounds, objects, people, smells) despite relatively intact memory and sensory systems.
An acquired disorder characterized by impairment or loss of the ability to write.
An acquired disorder characterized by difficulty reading and understanding printed language.
A condition characterized by difficulty retrieving words; individuals with anomia often use circumlocution (wordy and indirect language) to express an idea when unable to retrieve the desired word or words.
Anomic Aphasia
A mild form of aphasia, with the most prominent difficulty being in word-finding with the patient using generic fillers in utterances, such as nonspecific nouns and pronouns (e.g., "thing"), or circumlocution, where the person describes the intended word. Comprehension and repetition of words and sentences is typically good; however, the patient may not always recognize that a word successfully retrieved is the correct word, indicating some difficulty with word recognition.
An acquired neurogenic language disorder resulting from an injury to the brain that affects all language modalities. Aphasia is not a single disorder, but instead a family of disorders that involve varying degrees of impairment in four primary areas: spoken language expression, spoken language comprehension, written expression, and reading comprehension. A person with aphasia often has relatively intact nonlinguistic cognitive skills, such as memory and executive function skills, although these and other cognitive deficits may co-occur with aphasia.
Apraxia of Speech
A disorder of motor planning in the absence of impaired muscle control that affects voluntary positioning and sequencing of muscle movements for speech.
Audiology Assistant
A person who-after appropriate training and demonstration of competency-performs designated tasks that are prescribed, directed, and supervised by an ASHA-certified and licensed audiologist. Audiology assistants go by a variety of job titles, including, but not limited to, audiologist assistant, audiometry assistant, audiometrist assistant, audiologic assistant, audiology support personnel, audioprosthologist assistant, audiometrics assistant, hearing therapy assistant, hearing therapist assistant, hearing clinic assistant, hearing center assistant, hearing aid audiologist assistant, teleaudiology clinical technicians or any variation, synonym, coinage, or other word that expresses, employs, or implies these terms, names, or functions. Differing levels of support personnel may exist within and across work settings, states, or organizations.
Broca's Aphasia
A type of nonfluent aphasia, so called because speech production is halting and effortful. Damage is typically in the anterior portion of the left hemisphere. The dominant feature is agrammatism (impaired syntax). Content words (nouns, verbs) may be preserved but sentences are difficult to produce due to the problems with grammar, resulting in "telegraphic speech." In its more severe form, spoken utterances may be reduced to single words. Comprehension is usually mildly to moderately impaired due to difficulty understanding complex grammar, but it can be within normal limits. Repetition of words and sentences is usually poor.
Refers to the number of students with Individualized Education Programs (IEPs), Individualized Family Service Plans (IFSPs), or 504 Plans that school SLPs serve through direct and/or indirect service delivery options. In some school districts, SLP caseloads may also include students who do not have identified disabilities and who receive intervention and other services within general education designed to help prevent future difficulties with language learning and literacy. Caseloads can also be quantified in terms of the number of intervention sessions in a given time frame.
Conduction Aphasia
A type of fluent aphasia with a prominent impairment with repetition. Damage typically involves the arcuate fasciculus and the left parietal region. The patient may be able to express him- or herself fairly well, with some word-finding issues, and comprehension can be functional. However, the patient will show significant difficulty repeating phrases, particularly as the phrases increase in length and complexity and as they stumble over words they are attempting to pronounce. This type of aphasia is rare.
Council for Accreditation in Occupational Hearing Conservation (CAOHC)
A joint council whose main objective is to provide education, information, and guidance to industry and those serving industry regarding the successful implementation of an occupational hearing conservation program. It seeks to prevent occupational hearing loss.
Crossed Aphasia
A type of aphasia that occurs when a person's language centers are not in the expected hemisphere. In most right-handed individuals, language centers are located in the left hemisphere. This is also true for a majority of left-handed people, although there are exceptions for both groups. An example of crossed aphasia would be a right-handed person who has a right hemisphere stroke that results in aphasia.
Direct Supervision
Direct supervision means onsite, in-view observation and guidance by an SLP while an assigned activity is performed by support personnel.
A neurological motor speech disorder affecting the strength, range of motion, speed, and precision of the speech musculature.
Free Appropriate Public Education (FAPE)
A term used in the Individuals with Disabilities Education Improvement Act (IDEA) to refer to the right of all students, regardless of disability, to have access to free and appropriate public education.
Global Aphasia
A type of nonfluent aphasia with severe impairment of both expressive and receptive skills. Usually associated with a large left hemisphere lesion. People are often alert and may be able to express themselves through facial expressions, intonation, and gestures.
Hemianopia or Visual Field Cut
Decreased vision or blindness in half of the visual field of one or both eyes.
Profuse bleeding from a weakened blood vessel that ruptures and bleeds into surrounding tissue.
Individuals with Disabilities Education Improvement Act (IDEA)
A U.S. federal law that governs how states and public agencies provide early intervention, special education, and related services to children with disabilities.
Individualized Education Program (IEP)
Mandated by the Individuals with Disabilities Education Improvement Act (IDEA). An IEP is a document that defines the individualized objectives of a child who has been identified as having a disability and specifies individualized goals.
Individual Family Service Plan (IFSP)
A plan for special services for young children from birth to 3 years of age with disabilities. The goals that are put into place within an IFSP are targeted toward the family versus the goals within an IEP, which are targeted specifically towards the student.
Indirect Supervision
Indirect supervision means those activities (other than direct observation and guidance) conducted by an SLP that may include demonstration, record review, review and evaluation of audio- or videotaped sessions, and/or interactive television.
A decrease in blood supply to an organ or tissue caused by constriction or blockage of blood vessels.
Incoherent but structurally intact speech that may be composed of neologisms (invented words) or incoherently arranged known words.
Least Restrictive Environment (LRE)
Refers to the right of children with disabilities to be educated with children who are not disabled and not be removed from the regular educational environment. Special classes or separate schooling should occurs only when the nature or severity of the disability of a child is such that education in regular classes with supplementary aids and services cannot be achieved satisfactorily.
Limb Apraxia
A disorder of motor planning in the absence of impaired muscle control that affects voluntary positioning and sequencing of muscle movements of the limbs.
Mixed Transcortical Aphasia
A combination of the two transcortical aphasias where both reception and expression are severely impaired but repetition remains intact.
Plan of Care (Treatment Plan)
This terminology is meant to include, but not be limited to, the "Plan of Care," "Individualized Family Service Plan (IFSP)," or "Individualized Education Program (IEP)" and other titles that outline the care of the patient/client.
Primary Progressive Aphasia (PPA)
A focal dementia (or
focal cortical atrophy syndrome
) characterized by gradual loss of language function in the context of relatively well-preserved memory, visual processing, and personality until the advanced stages. Symptoms usually begin with word-finding problems and progress to impaired grammar (syntax) and comprehension (sentence processing and semantics). Symptoms associated with impaired speech production, such as dysarthria and apraxia of speech, can also accompany PPA. Typically, a diagnosis of PPA is made following a 2-year decline in language function not accompanied by any marked decline in other cognitive functions. (However, a 2-year hiatus in making a definitive diagnosis should not delay proactive management of the aphasia and general life planning.) Structural and physiological abnormalities are typically noted only in the left hemisphere language-related cortices (i.e., frontal, parietal, and temporal regions). PPA is not due to neoplastic, vascular, or metabolic etiologies nor to infectious disease (Mesulam, 2001; Rogers, 2004).
Response to Intervention (RTI)
Integrates assessment and intervention within a multi-level prevention system to maximize student achievement and reduce behavior problems. Students are identified as being at risk for poor learning outcomes. These students are monitored for progress and provided with appropriate interventions, which are adjusted based on the student's responsiveness.
This pass-fail procedure is used to identify people who may require further assessment.
Speech-Language Pathology Aides/Technician
Aides or technicians are individuals who have completed on-the-job training, workshops, and so forth and work under the direct supervision of ASHA-certified SLPs.
Speech Language Pathology Assistant
SLPAs are individuals who, following academic course work, clinical practicum, and credentialing, can perform tasks prescribed, directed, and supervised by ASHA-certified SLPs.
Subcortical Aphasia
A form of aphasia that results from damage to subcortical regions such as the thalamus, internal capsule, and the basal ganglia. The symptoms can mirror those arising from cortical lesions, and subcortical damage can also co-occur with cortical lesions. Aphasic symptoms can arise from diaschisis (remote effects), such as subcortical inputs to the frontal lobe being altered, or may directly stem from damage to subcortical areas that support language processing.
Supervising Speech-Language Pathologist
The supervising SLP is certified by ASHA and licensed by the state (where applicable), has been practicing for at least 2 years following ASHA certification, has completed not less than ten (10) hours of continuing professional development in supervision training prior to supervision of an SLPA, and is licensed and/or credentialed by the state (where applicable).
Teleaudiology Clinical Technicians
Persons who, after appropriate training and demonstration of competency, provide patient/equipment interface support under the supervision of an ASHA-certified and licensed audiologist using secure real time and/or "store and forward" audio/video technology to deliver audiology services from a site located at a distance from the actual patient testing site. A TCT may also be an audiology assistant or other health care professional (e.g., licensed vocational nurse, bachelor's-prepared nurse, master's prepared nurse, nurse practitioner, physician assistant, etc.) who has additional training to serve in the role as a TCT and support teleaudiology service delivery under the supervision of an ASHA-certified and licensed audiologist.
Transcortical Motor
A type of nonfluent aphasia similar to Broca's aphasia, but again with strong repetition skills. The patient may have difficulty spontaneously answering a question but can repeat long utterances without difficulty.
Transcortical Sensory
A type of fluent aphasia similar to Wernicke's with the exception of a strong ability to repeat words and phrases. The patient may repeat questions rather than answer them ("echolalia").
Wernicke's Aphasia
A type of fluent aphasia. Damage is typically in the posterior portion of the left hemisphere. Comprehension is poor and the person often produces jargon, or nonsensical words and phrases, when attempting to speak. These utterances typically retain sentence structure and intonation but lack meaning. The person is usually unaware of how they are speaking and may continue to talk even when they should pause to allow others to speak ("press of speech"). Repetition of words and sentences is poor.
Refers to all activities required and performed by school-based SLPs. SLP workloads include considerable time for face-to-face direct services to students. Workload also includes many other activities necessary to support students' education programs, implement best practices for school speech-language services, and ensure compliance with IDEA and other mandates.

Cells make decisions. We study how living cells make decisions. The focus of our research is on two main areas:
1. The role of calcium, eicosanoids and networked metabolic enzyme pathways in regulation of calcium signals and mitotic cell division (sea urchins, sand dollars, et cetera)
2. Synaptic transmission and secretion (squid, skate).
Our efforts also include elucidation of matrix melattoprotease activties in breast tumors, structure/function relationships of hair cell stereociliary movements in vestibular physiology (oyster toadfish). Other related areas of study are also pursued through collaborative efforts.
We make extensive use of quantitative video light microscopy, multispectral and very high-speed video imagery of living cells and tissues, biochemistry and enzymology, quantitative direct pressure microinjection, and modeling and simulation.
A cornerstone of our efforts is high performance computational processing and analysis of video microscopy images that range from signal detection and analysis single photon sources to mapping of patterns of intracellular chemical reactions and calcium signaling in living cells. We also use a variety of biochemical, biophysical and immunological methods, and modeling and simulation in our studies.
In addition to our fundamental biological studies, we design and fabricate optical hardware, and the design of software for processing and analysis of large video image data sets.
The organisms we study include:

LVL 20 coredweller + heat shield = giggles.
LVL 20 coredweller + heat shield = giggles.
I have a graphical glitch in 1.17 (I had it with 1.16 too, which I had installed 2 days earlier to the release of 1.17)
The caravan drivers and enchanters on the towns are invisible, but they stil work normally. I can only see their flashy icons over their heads and the talking icon that appears when you hover the mouse over the position they should be occupying.
And another glitch I noticed is that every artifact and arcane formula I have in my inventory or in my caravan stash doesn't show properly. Instead of the normal graphic, I see a checkered square with small yellow and blue squares in it. I suppose I'm the only one with this problem, as I had it with 1.16 but no one posted something similar, and it's annoyingly noticeable..
EDIT: when looking at arcane formulae and artifacts in the TQVault item manager, they show as a question mark in a little square. I suppose there should be something wrong with the item's description in the database, as the same problem is seen in the vault and in game.
Thanks for your help!
I had those very same glitches. Sounds like your IT installation was unsuccesful. Re-install IT. It solved my problem. As far as I know, it is not related to the fan patch.

Yeah, if you had a fail installation, installing 1.17 over it won't fix the problem.
And when you installed 1.16, you didn't by chance happen to use a very old installer, did you?
I had installed the latest version of 1.16, just yesterday, and later I uninstalled it and installed the 1.17. Both had the same issue.
I had installed plain TQ, and just after, I installed IT. Is it necessary to install both or is it enough with IT? (newb question)
Only modification I made is that I cracked the game in order to make it work. I had to crack it because I don't have an original copy. Then I played with no DVD.
But the game seemed to work OK (no glitches) until I patched it to 1.16.
Anyway I'll try a new install
A reinstall should work for you - your creatures.arc was probably corrupted.
Since 1.17 doesn't need the creatures.arc (munder seperated the fanpatch input into a seperate file), there shouldn't be any problems in the future with invisible merchants.
The no DVD crack won't have any effect on the patch (though it may cause your game to crash in LAN play, but that is non-patch related).
Thanks a lot for your help. I'll surely enjoy the patch!
I wondered if the file was corrupted why I played without any glitch before patching... But anyway I'll reinstall and see what happens.
I mean, the 1.16 installer could have caused that problem; like I said, the very first 1.16 installer did just that, but it was taken down hours later, and this was months ago. It would seem unlikely that you would have gotten your hands on that faulty installer if you only went to install it a few days ago.
What version of TQ do you have? Retail, steam, d2d, impulse, other?
I noticed after intalling the 1.17 patch that the skill "Triumph" in the Warfare mastery now has 10 slots to put skill points in, it should be max 6.
Well, that's one of the bugs we fixed (before 1.17 btw). The skill 'Triumph' is a petskill - and petskills don't work if they're past max level. So, what we did, was to match the max level of Triumph to its ultimate level.
Unfortunately not the nicest fix, but a very good one, considering the alternative.

Student Success Stories
Jon Vu
Cal Poly San Luis Obispo, '09
Computer Science
Having completed a Master's in Computer Science and two Bachelor's degrees in Computer Science and in Mathematics, John Vu recognizes how his challenges have shaped his life. Raised by his single mom with financial hardships, John also recognizes he was "not a genius or a fast learner." He did, however, use his EOP resources, including his EOP advisor and participated in Study Sessions and Supplemental Workshops in Science and Math to hone his critical thinking and study skills. His greatest challenge was learning to love and appreciate himself; as a freshman, he tried to end his life when he recognized himself as both a Christian and a gay man. He was able to come back to campus a stronger and more focused person, actively involved in the university community, his faith, internships and academics. John Vu graduated as a strong Cal Poly role model and community service advocate.

Arsenal Online is an Arsenal fan-site and blog first created in July 2008.
I endeavour to bring you the latest in Arsenal news, match reports and player news.
About the blogger
My name is John, and I'm a life-long Arsenal fan.
My mother is an Arsenal supporter and my father a Tottenham supporter; despite the lure of paternal Spurs, Gascoigne and Lineker in my childhood, I somehow managed to make the right decision. Maybe it's because I liked red more than blue, or because I like my mum more than my dad I don't know, but the footballing gods have shone kindly on my decision for 20 years.
Fate, however has struck me a cruel blow, as I am currently an ex-pat in Germany, so I don't get much chance to attend Arsenal matches in person any more. (I last saw Arsenal play in a pre-season friendly against Stuttgart).
Undeterred by this minor inconvenience, I continue to follow Arsenal through the wonders of cable television and Irish sport pubs.
I love to have people comment on my posts, and hope that we can build a community of Arsenal fans around the site.
All commenters are initially moderated, that is the first time you post a comment I will manually approve it – this is a safeguard against spam. Once you have one approved comment you are good to go and your comments will be posted immediately in future.
However, let's try to keep it friendly. I will not tolerate any racism, sexism, homophobia or other messages of hate to be posted in the comments section so don't even try, your comments will be deleted and you should seek help.

COLUMBIA, S.C. (AP) -- South Carolina teens who drop out of school or skip too many classes would lose their driving privileges under a bill advanced by a Senate committee.
The Senate Education Committee on Wednesday unanimously approved a measure linking school attendance to driver's licenses for teens under 18. The bill moves to the Senate floor.
Teens who need a license to get to work or to drive a sick family member to medical treatments could get a route-restricted license.
Students who return to school or enroll in GED classes could get their licenses back.
The House passed the bill last year by a one-vote margin.
Rep. Tom Young of Aiken says the measure is not a silver bullet, but it's a good thing if it prompts some students to stay in school.

School-aged & Teen Sibling Relationships
|Related Pages
My older child is extremely jealous of my younger child. They are 9 and 6. The younger one is outgoing and generally happy, but the older has a harder time socially and is quite sensitive. She says things to me like ''you love her more'' or ''why don't you love me?' We've always treated them equally, but they just seem to have different temperments and the older one needs more reassurance. Here's my question: My husband thinks it would be helpful to tell our older daughter (in confidence) that she's his favorite. While of course this is not true, he thinks she needs to hear this and that it would be beneficial. I don't agree, but wonder if anyone has any experience or advice? Thanks.
Is there such a thing as couples counseling for siblings? I'm half kidding & half serious. My 12 and 16 year old daughters seem to be hormonal all the time. Small irritations turn into huge blow-ups, not every day but too often. We've tried talking things out when everyone is calm, but it doesn't seem to help. They both have tempers and seem to feel that it's OK, even good, to express their emotions, even if it means screaming, cursing & throwing things. I can't seem to convince them that a little self- control, tolerance and courtesy would make us all happier. I get along fine with each of them when we're alone, but get caught in the cross-fire when we're all together. I can't quite picture what a therapist would be able to do for us, but I'm willing to give it a try. Advice or suggestions or just sympathy would be greatly appreciated! fed up with the fighting
I have 2 boys, ages 9 and 6 who can't seem to be in a room
together more than 10 minutes without fighting. They bicker
constantly, and will often escalate into hitting and
scratching. They both get along well with their 3 year old
sister, and do fairly well when there are other children
as ''buffers''. They rarely do it on the 3 days per week when
they are with the nanny, but save it up for mom and dad's days
off. Does anyone have any techniques that help kids this age
diffuse their arguments? Both my husband and I work part time
in order to spend more time with them, but they are driving us
Testosterone Stormtrooper
With a title like this, it's no surprise that authors Adele Faber and Elaine Mazlish had a monster bestseller on their hands when the book first appeared in 1988. From the subsequent deluge of readers' stories, questions, and issues, they have created nearly 50 pages of new material for this, the 10th anniversary edition. The central message remains the same, and sounds almost too simple: avoid comparisons. But parents know that's easier said than done. The value of Faber and Mazlish's discussions is precisely that they talk you through umpteen different situations and outcomes to help you teach your brawling offspring a new set of responses. The highly informative text is punctuated with helpful summary/reminder boxes and cartoons illustrating key points. It's a must-read for parents with (or planning on) multiple children. But parents of young children who get along fine (so far) should read it too--as the authors make very clear, rivalry is inevitable. The only question is how to manage the rivalry with intelligence and compassion, and on that subject they offer a wealth of good advice.''Helena
I know that some sibling fighting is normal, but lately my 2 boys, 91/2 and 14 just don't quit.
In the past they've gotten along some of the time and would fight some of the time. But lately it seems constant. My oldest just turned 14, and though he's in most ways a really great kid, he really has turned 14 with a vengence. My little one can be very pesty and is very dramatic, so he pushes and pushes and pushes and of course he's the one who gets hurt. The older one also can be an incredible taunt and really mean spirited at times.
If I can head it off at the pass I usually try to separate them...then they both say ''I wasn't doing anything, he was doing.......'' If something happens and I don't see it, they both blame the other.
My older son lately has been saying ''You should punish him, you let him get away with everything''. This is actually NOT true, but has gotten me wondering if we are consistant in our disciplin and how we can constructively disciplin both boys to lessen this.
My brother is 7 years older than me and when we were kids we fought ALL the time. I wanted to be with him and his older friends (at that age difference, I was REALLY a little kid to the teenagers). He teased me and made my life miserable, especially when he had to babysit me. Now we are (and have been since he left home for college) soooo close (we're both in our 50's).
Any advice? Will they grow out of this? Is it heightened by my 14year old's raging hormones? I'm happiest these days when one or both of them are not home. tired of kids fighting
I don't think the 9 year old will be mature enough to leave the big brother alone (you can never dismiss the possibility of provocation). Also, you want the 9 year old to feel like you are protecting him from real physical violence (again, without being unfair to the older one).
We have dealt for 14 years with a mean-spirited older brother
teasing a 4 yrs younger sib, and almost nothing has worked--
not writing 100 times ''I will treat X with respect,'' not loss
of privileges. And after all they do need to relate. A family
therapist says that if they can talk without calling names, and
work things out, that that's the main skill they need to deal
with each other. In my opinion, that's not dealing with the
obnoxious teasing. But, to my surprise, the older teen is
hanging out with more mature kids, and is seeing himself as too
mature-- most of the time. Good luck.
I'm not saying anyone in your family is mentally ill, I'm just
saying that there is a cost to not interventing in some cases.
I never felt I was worthy of protection, or that my feelings
counted. That's not the message you want to convey either, I'm
bullied little sister
I am at my wit's end about how to deal with my children's behavior, mostly toward each other, but somewhat toward my husband and me. We have three sons, 6,9, and 12. They are all bright, generally happy boys who do quite well in school. We get good reports from other adults about their behavior away from us. One on one with us they are mostly a pleasure.
But at home and with each other it is often a different story. The youngest, a first grader, has a very challenging strong-minded inflexible temperament. He, of course, is also dealing with the usual issues of being the youngest of three boys. Despite hours on our part of trying to show them how to solve their differences, i.e. talk it out, take time to cool off, etc. they very often resort to yelling, hitting, name calling, etc. To make matters worse, my temper is so short from dealing with this so often, I find myself reacting in very inappropriate way - yelling and saying mean things. This models even worse behavior for them.
Do others have the same problem with their children? Is it worse with all of one gender? And of course, does anyone have any suggestions? We have read quite a few books, both those dealing with the particular issues of our youngest and also on sibling rivalry. I would really like hands-on advice. Thanks. Tired mom
Boy I hope someone can guide me in the right direction! I have
two boys, 5 and 7. They are wonderful little guys that my
husband and I adore and they adore us. However they are
constantly at each others throats. Pushing, shoving, tattling,
etc. We try to keep things equal between them, like buying them
the same amounts/types of anything. If one gets a pair of
pajamas the other will get a pair of pajamas, but we realize
that not everything is equal and we've tried talking to them
about this when the situation arises but it just doesn't seem to
work. They always seem to be competing. If it's not getting up
the stairs first, then it's picking a movie, or getting to the
car or even getting their dinner served. ANYTHING. My older son
is very clever and is somewhat manipulative with his brother.
If he sees something that his brother has that he wants he will
persuade his little brother into trading, even if it's an unfair
trade, which we've also discussed ad nauseum. My husband and I
are trying to figure out what to do because even with all the
talking we do, it doesn't seem to be helping much. Does anyone
have any suggestions? I have a younger sister and we used to
fight often too as kids, despite our mom's efforts. Though we
talk, I feel there is a strain in our relationship which has
slowly been improving (I'm 27, she's 25). I do not want my boys
to end up the same way. I want them to be close and be the best
of friends.
Boys driving mom crazy
You are certainly not alone in this. I think it's a way of life for siblings to fight...it is in our house. My boys are 4 1/2 years apart. The little one wants to be with the big one so he's really pesty to get attention, then the big one torments the little one....and on and on.
Screaming at them is my first instinct but it really doesn't work and nothing gets resolved.
What can you take away from them? In our house it's electronics. Consistancy is the most important inwhatever you decide to do. In teh past 3 weeks, my husband and I saw a therapist who does parenting consultations. She helped us a lot to figure out boundaries and proper and reasonable consequences. I have not yelled at my kids since that meeting with her and I have to say things are a lot saner around here.
Granted, my boys are a bit older and easier to reason with than your youngens but as the therapist said to me, ''kids like whistles and bells''....they want attention adn they'll do what it takes, even for negative attention. So, if you can tone down your reaction they may tone down theirs as well.
I hope this is helpful....you also may have to wait it out. My brother and I fought all the time as kids...he's 7 years older though.Now we are as close as can abe. Good luck. happier mom of 2 boys
Good luck. I think it is really great having two different kinds of kids because they each satisfy different likes and dislikes in my own self. When I get tired of watching the baseball game with Joe, I can go eat sushi with Jake! Ginger
I also grew up fighting ALOT with my brother - my mom still
says it was the hardest part of parenting for her - but in
contrast to you and your sister, we are truly very very close
now and have been since the teenage years. He is like my best
friend so don't fret that fighting as kids necessarily means
tension forever. And we were brutal with the teasing and ev! en
physical fighting as kids.
OK, I'm desperate. I have two daughters, 12 and 8 years old. Life in our house is filled with constant tension, squabbles, bickering and outright battles every day, over every single issue in the house. It's basically been like this a lot of the time since the 2nd one was born, but it feels like it's reached an unbearable level.
Elder says she hates Younger and everything about her. Younger actually really looks up to Elder and wishes she could get her affection, but Elder has been so consistently dissing her, that she acts out a lot (cries). Elder says that Younger always gets her way, and that she (E.) always gets in trouble, so she ends up giving in all the time and then resenting and hating Younger.
Their battles range from everything from socks to the last glass of orange juice in the refrigerator, to who gets to have more sleepovers or playdates. (invariably, Elder) Sometimes I am so desperate that I feel like getting THEM a divorce -- they seem to have irreconcilable differences. The four of us cannot do anything together as a family because it is so horribly unpleasant, so we end up separating often and are even doing separate vacations this year (dad with Elder, mom with Younger).
Elder feels very bitterly about the very existence of her sister and says I should've realized this would be a possibility when I decided to have two children.
Clearly, we need help. I would like to find a therapist who specializes in sibling/family issues although Elder is exTREMEly resistant to the idea and says she will not cooperate, that she cannot trust a therapist, wouldn't talk to one, etc. I'm worried that forcing her to go would be counterproductive but I'm really at the end of my tether and not sure what else to do. We're all completely worn out. Anonymous please
What sounds different about your family is that you've given so much power to your kids --- especially the 12 year old! If you decide on therapy, that's IT. Its not her place to make that decision...or any important decision about family dynamics. Don't give her the power--she doesn't really want it.
My suggestion for you, whether or not you decide to get the counselling is to explain to the girls that ''getting along'' is now their #1 job. You have the right to expect behavior that is acceptable in your home. You can't order them to love one another --- but the secret is ...they do... and that's why they ''hate'' each other so much. They have the habit of being mean to one another -- but, they can acquire the habit of NOT being mean to one another, too. It will take work. You are not depriving them of anything of value by taking away the right to be mean,.
I'm very serious about expecting better behavior. If you don't get the behavior you desire, I'd restrict them both to the house --- and take ALL their privileges away (phone, computer, even blow dryer if you have to) until they earn them back by demonstrating consistant decent behavior.
I would not believe this works if I hadn't seen it in a family with which I grew up. 5 kids in 2 bedrooms, and any fighting better be private--or else. Now in their 40s, the 5 live within 2 miles and are all good friends, and communicate well.
Can I say that I practice what I preach here? Not entirely, but I try...and my kids are sometimes heartbreakingly kind to one another.... so the mandate for me is to STAY OUT OF IT as much as possible, and keep my fingers crossed that we get through without bloodshed.
Have I pulled privileges for behavior? -- absolutely.
Anonymous for Kids' sake
I grew up unprotected from the bully in our house (my sister) and it has had long-lasting ramifications. Just because abuse is coming from a sibling instead of a parent, does not mean it is not abuse--nor is it something the two of them should ''work out on their own.''
Your 8-year-old's very existence should not be up for discussion.
I'm sorry to be blunt, but your 12-year-old sounds spoiled rotten--by her parents. You must find a new way to operate. Accomodating her attrocious behaviour by giving her extra sleep-overs and separate vacations will do her no good in the long run. And what do you think you are teaching her little sister? Your 12-year-old should not be allowed to refuse therapy, nor should she be allowed to think her behaviour is acceptable. Your family is at stake. I can tell you that my family has been irrevocably fractured--and this includes relationships with my parents.
I have one final question:
Would you put up with a classmate-bully treating your 8-year-
old daughter in this manner?

I can't say that things are now wonderful between our sons. Believe it or not, we still hesitate to leave them home alone together, although they say that this is our problem not theirs. We do now have some good times together, but I have scaled back my expectations. Sometimes, we have a good meal together, or the boys are charming and gracious (and don't fight) at a family event. We can usually watch movies together now. Vacations? We now do separate things with each child, and, although I am sad about this, I wish we had done this earlier when our trips and vacations left us (the parents)drained and unhappy. (The kids, however, do have more positive memories of these vacations than do their parents!)
Good luck. Sympathetic
If counseling helps, all parties will benefit, and the benefits will be long-lasting. If she doesn't un-learn bullying, she is likely to ruin other important relationships in her life as an adult.
If counseling doesn't help, and you have the money, you might think about boarding school. This would be a big relief for your younger daughter. Please don't think I don't have compassion for your elder daughter -- I do. She isn't happy right now. I think boarding school would probably be a good and possibly transforming experience for her. (I and my siblings went to boarding school and loved it. There are many insightful posts in the UCB Parent archives re boarding schools, and you'll note that nearly all are positive.) Boarding school is not a banishment, but an attempt to rearrange your two daughters' lives in order to make both of them happier.
Good luck. Anon for own daughter's sake

From Honey Boo Boo to the House of Commons, Whoa-man explores pop culture and politics from a woman's perspective. Hey, there's at least half of us — am I right, ladies?
* * *
I need to talk to you guys about something that's bothering me. Do you watch Homeland? You probably watch Homeland — everybody watches Homeland now. I used to enjoy the TV show, but now I just hate-watch it every week to confirm that it continues to feature the worst television family in the history of television.
If for some reason you haven't been spending Sunday nights with Claire Danes's erratic facial expressions and crazy eyes, let me catch you up real quick on the details so we can talk about what's giving me an ulcer.
There's a war on terror, and a bi-polar CIA agent named Carrie who loves jazz music and casual sex (played with aplomb by Claire Danes) holds herself personally responsible for 9/11. It's a weird thing to blame yourself for, but I don't know — she takes a lot of pills, so potato/potato.
In this post-Osama world, the new top terror maker is a bearded man named Abu Nazir. Carrie will say this name so many times in every episode and with so much fervour that you will kind of want him to succeed in his mission to blow up America, just so you never have to hear his dumb name ever again. Nazir has been holding two U.S. marines hostage for eight years. At the beginning of the show, one of them — Sergeant Nicholas Brody, an impish ginger with no lips — is rescued and comes home after EIGHT long years as a prisoner of war. He's obviously been tortured and starved and abused and all of the other cool things that happen to P.O.W.'s.
But it's okay because Brody is going home to his loving wife and kids and everything is going to be okay — yay!
Wrong. Turns out his wife has been having really gross sex with his best friend, Mike, Brody's son might have a learning disability and his daughter's only emotion is sulk. Is his family happy to see him? Not really — kind of an inconvenience that he's back, actually. Does anyone ask him about the terrible, terrible things he's been through? Huh, no, they've been through hard times too, okay — remember that summer it rained for like a week straight? His wife is super bummed out that even though he's been in a dark room by himself for EIGHT FUCKING YEARS, he is having trouble getting it hard for her. Sad face. Mike doesn't have a problem with his penis. Brody's son is upset that his shell-shocked father, who is suffering from a severe case of post-traumatic stress disorder, can't come to his karate match today. Oh well, Uncle Mike was gonna take him anyway.
"Why are you acting so weird?" everyone keeps saying to the guy who was held by violent terrorists for almost a decade while fighting a meaningless war!!!!!! He's been back for two days and his wife is like, "Ummm… the kids are late for school, get out of your sweatpants!" And he's like, "oh okay ha no problem, it's just that I've been sinking deeper and deeper into this pool of jagged and overwhelming pressure because I've been emotionally blackmailed by my torturers into committing acts of aggression against my own country AND I DON'T KNOW HOW TO FEEL ABOUT THAT. LOLOLOLOL."
There's never any family therapy, no group sit-downs to just, like, hug and cry and tell each other how insane and mysterious life can be, but hey, we'll try and figure it out together. There's just a lot of eye rolls and temper tantrums and huffs and puffs. I have some thoughts: How about a vacation together? A journal where you all draw how this dramatic event has made you feel? Maybe Mike shouldn't come over for a few days? I don't know — these are just ideas. If my husband magically CAME BACK FROM THE DEAD I would be feeling a string of conflicting and complex human emotions, but I am sure one of those emotions would not be frustration that he didn't take out the garbage this morning. But I don't know, maybe that's just me. HA HA WHO KNOWS, let's ask Mike!
I just want to know if whoever is writing this show has ever interacted with humans before or if it's like that scene in The 40-Year-Old Virgin when the virgin tries to describe boobs without having ever felt them. I think a robot would have a more nuanced understanding of the human experience. It's a spectrum, Homeland-bot, a spectrum!!!
In an effort to show the Brody family how to deal with trauma, I'm going to be holding weekly therapy sessions for people who are addicted to yelling at their computers every Sunday because WHAT THE FUCK IS THEIR PROBLEM THEY ARE LITERALLY CRYING OVER SPILLED MILK!!!!!!!!!!!

The new "second generation" Stora Enso Gallop Powered by Xerox is launched this spring, with the new, larger sheet size Xerox iGen4(TM) EXP press and an enhanced coating unit. The new edition of Gallop supports the biggest sheet size in the digital printing market and has an integrated inline inspection system and a new technology for coating.
The requirements in pharmaceutical carton manufacturing are very demanding. Therefore Stora Enso Gallop is featuring new developments and improvements to its inline package printing line introduced in 2008. With the new Xerox iGen4(TM) EXP press the printing area has increased by 15 %, and the line now supports 364 x 660 mm (14.33 x 26 inches) sheets, allowing many more package blanks to be printed, coated and die-cut on one sheet.
Coating technology has been enhanced by the new coating unit, Stora Enso Pinta, especially designed for digital packaging production. Set-up times have been minimised by using a sleeve which is easily replaced for new jobs, and an automated cleaning system increases the coater's total efficiency. Water-based coating is applied for the production of pharmaceutical packages, but ultraviolet coating is also available as an option. The buffering stacker is integrated in the coating unit and forms a sheet pile to be passed to the Gallop DC 66 die cutter. The coater is also available as standalone version.
An image inspection system has been integrated for in-line checking of the printed characters of every single sheet. The inspection takes place immediately after printing and covers every sheet - even the smallest text flaws or dirt are reliably detected. In pharmaceutical packaging it is essential that all details printed on the carton and leaflets are complete and correct and leave no room for misunderstandings.
Job integrity is guaranteed by using a 2-D scanner at the Stora Enso Gallop DC 66 die-cutter. The system checks 2-D codes from each sheet; if there is a discrepancy, operations are stopped.
Digitally printed packages already achieve a major share of the market in several segments, such as pharmaceutical products, media, software and consumer electronics, with their specific needs for multiple language versions of varying sizes. The second generation Gallop will extend the profitability of digitally printing package blanks to areas we have not yet seen: food and confectionery, seasonal specials and even cosmetics packaging.
"We are committed to continuing our innovative development work on the digital printing of packages. This is what the increasing versatility of consumer goods marketing needs," says Ismo Saarinen, Vice President of Stora Enso New Packaging Solutions.
"Optimising the latest developments in Xerox's iGen technology, coupled with Stora Enso's new finishing technologies delivers an unparalleled solution for digitally produced short-run folding carton production," said Valerie Thomassin, Senior Vice President, Integrated Marketing, Xerox Europe. "The second generation Stora Enso Gallop will enable brand owners to achieve an increased return on marketing investment. Converters will be able to produce more jobs and satisfy the growing requirement for zero inventory and on-demand supply chains."

It's very simple to tote cash from this service. It's a final resort choice for those with important financial troubles. Remember, suppliers are looking to give you a second chance at successful fiscal management. Not like company other individuals, who've numerous cash sources, the typical man does no longer have the posh to organize money from different resources to satisfy the requirement.
For a great record of no no credit loans online loans, see a payday loan review site. Instead, make a plan. The phone calls will start from your lenders, once you're not able to make these payments. When you are availing plenty of time plus money you can use that in other regions. A cash advance is basically borrowing a small sum of money from bank and that too for a short duration of time. Simple payday loan is a short term, unsecured loan that offers financial assistance to you till your next paycheck arrives.
You have to pay this sum on your salary day which in turn reduces anxiety. Lenders are coming up with much more advanced and newer loan strategies daily. Be some exciting limited period offer for which you can not wait for your next pay check or it check bounce or an unanticipated car dysfunction. He/she does not need to go anywhere to take money.
Such loans can be real life savers so to speak, when you're faced with a financial crisis that is true. If you're thinking about using this kind of loan just for crises, in other words. fast easy payday loans were originally designed to be utilized for emergency purposes only, so if you're somewhat impulsive, it would be best not to seek out this kind of loan. Before you get the next paycheck, you need to get cash to cover things like food, present bills, grocery bills, school fees, medical expenses and more. You may want to check into a low credit cash advance in case you have a need for cash in a rush. Financial services let out payday loans and are called by this name because they help the customer get a short term loan that he is liable to pay back on his next payday, which could be anything from a week to two weeks away.
Why is it that folks continue to use them so frequently with all the bad publicity that for these small-scale loans? Therefore, whatever credit scores you are holding, you can appreciate this loan assistance with no fuss and trouble. These reasons cause people to fall into consolidate payday loan debt in the first place. Unhappy days follow up when the straightforward things get complicated. The best part of such loans is that these are sanctioned without any credit evidence.
You can do everything online, it is not that complex. Professionals, students, salespeople, individuals with huge paydays and people who have not-so-huge paydays. You learn if pal or a relative, or your tech in this field, may choose.

A stone wall surrounded a small waterfall splashing into a pool. Sparkling coins lay at the bottom, and she reached into her coat pocket and found a quarter. For good luck, she whispered, flinging the coin into the water.
She bypassed a small number of people waiting near the hostess station and strolled into the bar. A tall, black woman wearing a tight vest and red tie mixed drinks, chatting up the lone customer. She laughed and tossed her head, holding out a small piece of paper. Xavier shook his head at her.
His tan slacks and long sleeved white shirt, rolled up under his elbows, showed off his dark skin tone. The bimbo with her short, spiky hair leaned over, showing off her flat stomach and perky chest. Becca pulled off her coat, jerked her bodice down low to show off her cleavage, and stomped to the bar.
At least I have bigger boobs than she does. She grinned widely when Xavier held up his hand to refuse the paper.
She approached him, placing her arm behind the back of his chair. Hey there, gorgeous, she greeted, glowering at the bartender.
Hey, baby. Xavier got up from his chair, and didnt give her a welcoming hug, but something else altogether different that shocked the hell out of her. He swept her into a full blown kiss, his tongue swiping over her lips.
Vertigo set in. The kiss ended all too soon. He broke the contact with one last sweep of his lips and rubbed his nose against hers.
Hello there, he whispered, and pulled her in closer.
Her mind blank, she tried to process what had just happened. The bartender shrugged and turned her attention to some new patrons.
Xavier released her, eyes sparkling.
Did you do that for her benefit? she asked, not certain she wanted to hear the answer.
He grabbed his beer bottle and curved an arm around her waist. Ive wanted to kiss you for months. And dont you dare think I would do that for anyone elses benefit but my own.

Section 3 of the AECA defines violations: http://www.pmddtc.state.gov/regulations_laws/aeca.html
Section 3(c)(2) requires that we promptly report when a "substantial violation" of any agreement under which the U.S. provides defense articles under the FMS program "may have occurred." The agreements under which we make FMS sales require in relevant part that recipients use the items only for internal security or legitimate self-defense. Whether a violation is "substantial" is determined by reference to the quantity of items involved or the gravity of the consequences. A report would not make a country ineligible for further security assistance unless the President so determines and reports to Congress, or Congress enacts specific legislation.
Section 3(e) further states:
If the President receives any information that a transfer of any defense article, or related training or other defense service, has been made without his consent as required under this section or under § 505 of the Foreign Assistance Act of 1961, as amended, he shall report such information immediately to the Speaker of the House of Representatives and the Committee on Foreign Relations of the Senate.

Should I mention my miscarriages when people ask if this is my first baby?
After two miscarriages, my husband and I are expecting a little girl in June. With the due date drawing near, my tummy is really starting to grow. Many people ask if this is our first baby, and we usually say 'yes,' but I feel guilty not mentioning the other two babies we've lost. Is it inappropriate or should I mention them?

Respond with whatever answer makes you most comfortable. You are not obligated to tell anyone anything! To me, a miscarriage is very private. There can be extreme emotions involved at the mere thought of what happened. So, no, you do not have to say anything unless it makes you happy to include your angel babies.posted 09/17/2010 by MrsHymanRoth
you can say that you have two in heaven and one getting ready to make its appearance on earth. even though to some a miscarriage is not considered having lost a child, i would tell certain people,not everyone.posted 06/16/2005 by a BabyCenter Member
Yes it is inappropriate to mention the miscarriages. Have you ecer asked someone "How are you today" and then they proceed to talk about their sinus infection or hemeroids... don't be that person.posted 07/15/2008 by HunterBean'sMomma
Well, I just recently lost monoamniotic twin boys. They died 9 days apart. I was 17w4d and 18w6d at each loss and I feel like they were children. I already have an almost 1 year old and I feel like if I were to dismiss my twins, I'm betraying them. It is very new, but I plan to tell people about my twin angels if asked. Although I only have 1 baby to hold and cuddle, I will always have my twin boys in my heart. So, if someone asks, I plan on telling them about all three of my boys.posted 01/22/2007 by a BabyCenter Member
personally i have lost my first child due to a miscarriage. and now im pregnant with my second im 30 weeks along and i only bring up miscarriages to my dr. in the beginning to let him know that this is not my first time being pregnant. we try to stay positive and so should you. even though they will always be apart of you dont forget just be thankful for a blessing to be able to bring to this world a new lifeposted 11/19/2005 by mybabayboy
My husband and I just found out that we had a blighted ovum on Monday. I was 12 weeks pregnant and they said that the baby would have died at 8 weeks (according to the size of my uterus). I also miscarried in march at 6 weeks. I am terrified that we will never get pregnant. My Doctor said that I may have an immune problem since I miscarried twice. She is going to do some blood tests in the next few weeks. I desperately need some reassurance. Has anyone ever miscarried twice in a row, than carried a baby full term? Thank youposted 07/18/2005 by Sam2143
I have had two miscarriages also I have a 10 month old son and when people ask me if he is our only child I tell them that he is the only one that went full term and the only one still with us! Most of the time they understand, but occasionally I still get strange looks and you just have to brush them off!posted 07/06/2005 by a BabyCenter Member
I am expectingin December of this year. I had a son in January of this year. He was born at 24 weeks. When people ask if this is my first child I inform them no, but I do have an angel watching over us.posted 06/26/2005 by Ms.Carson
I have a son and 3 angel babies. I talk about them when it is appropriate. If someone asks me if this is my first I tell them it is my fifth. No one ever met my other babies and the only way to keep their memories alive is through my husband and myself. Usually after saying that it is my fifth pregnancy that is the end of the conversation. If the conversation continues, the person who asks will find out about the miscarriages. I am now 27 weeks pregnant. I feel great. I feel that I should honour my other children even more now because the road has been so rocky and they gave their lives so I could have this baby. I would not be pregnant with this baby if it wasn't for the loss of the others. There must be a reason for everything...posted 06/14/2005 by jessy-girl
I also had 2 losses prior to this pregnancy. We are expecting a baby boy anyday now. When people ask if this is our first baby, we say "yes". Those close to me know what we've been through and I don't want make those that don't know feel uncomfortable. I remember our two losses and that's what's important. Congrats and good luck!posted 06/07/2005 by sabel73

text: Nathanson, Melvyn B. Elementary methods in number theory. (English) Zbl 0953.11002 Graduate Texts in Mathematics. 195. New York, NY: Springer. xviii, 513 p. DM 98.00; öS 716.00; sFr. 89.50; £ 34.00; $ 49.95 (2000). This book is more and less than an "Introduction to number theory"; less in the sense that some topics like algebraic numbers are completely excluded, and more as it includes results that are elementary, as the title says, but rather difficult. The book is divided into three parts. Part I, "A first course", starts indeed with the basics, divisibility and congruences up to quadratic reciprocity. Still, there are some remarkable innovations. One is the introduction of Fourier analysis at an early stage. Fourier transforms are considered in finite Abelian groups only; this saves the reader from the problems of measurability and convergence, while every important phenomenon is there, like Poisson summation and trace formulae. This is used to treat Gauss sums here, and easily provides the necessary properties of characters to study primes in arithmetic progressions later. It is also an excellent preparation for "harder" Fourier analysis (which is outside the scope of this book). The final chapter of Part I tells us about the $abc$ conjecture, Mason's theorem and the analog of Fermat's last theorem for polynomials, beautiful results that deserve to be widely known. The principal aim of Part II (Chapters 6-10), Multiplicative number theory, is to present the prime number theorem and Dirichlet's theorem on primes in arithmetic progressions. Chapter 6 develops elementary convolution calculus. Chapter 7 tells some properties of the number and sum of divisors, including the existence of density for the set of abundand numbers, with Erdős's proof. Chapter 8 gives some elementary estimates for primes, and as an application, Hardy and Ramanujan's theorem for the normal number of prime divisors, with Turán's proof. Chapter 9 contains Selberg's elementary proof of the prime number theorem. (Personally I would have selected Postnikov and Romanov's version instead.) Chapter 10 is devoted to Dirichlet's theorem. There is an interesting novelty in the proof that $L(1,\chi)\ne 0$ for complex characters, which is probably the author's (he does not claim credit for it, nor does he attribute it to anybody else; it was new to me). This consists in showing that $ \sum _{n\le x} \chi (n)\Lambda (n)/n = - \log x + O(1) $ if $L(1,\chi)=0$, and then deduce that $ \sum _{p\le x, p\equiv 1 \pmod{m} } ( \log p)/p $ would be negative. The underlying idea is the same as in the usual analytic proof, but it is beautifully translated into another language. Part III is devoted to some problems of additive number theory. Chapter 11 presents Linnik's elementary solution to Waring's problem. Chapter 12 gives a generalization, due to the author, which sounds as follows. If $f_1,\dots, f_s$ are integer-valued polynomials of degree $k$ and leading coefficients in the interval $(0, c]$, then, for $s>s_0(k)$, the lower density of integers representable in the form $f_1(x_1)+\cdots+f_s(x_s)$ is at least $\delta (k, c)>0$. Chapter 13 is a discovery in the other sense of the word: a miraculous and essentially forgotten formula of Liouville is revived. In this chapter it is applied to find the representation of primes by the forms $x^2+y^2$ and $x^2+2y^2$. During the proof we find a recurrence relation for $\sigma (n)$, the sum of the divisors (not exacly the familiar one). Further applications are given in Chapter 14, where representations by sums of squares are discussed. Chapter 15 is devoted to the estimation of the partition function. The author stops at a logarithmic asymptotics ($ \log p(n) \sim c_0 \sqrt n$). The final Chapter 16 considers generalizations to partitions with summands restricted to a subset $A$ of the positive integers. The main results say that if $A$ has asymptotic density $\alpha >0$, then the corresponding partition function satisfies $ \log p_A(n) \sim c_0 \sqrt {\alpha n}$, and conversely, if $p_A$ admits such an asymptotics, then $A$ must have density $\alpha $. This is a nice book, with carefully selected beautiful theorems. The proofs are meticulously explained in every detail (in fact, the presentation is somewhat too detailed for my taste). There are historical remarks and numerous exercises, mostly on the easy side. The book is not intended for a general course in number theory, but it is possible to base more specialised courses on it at the introductory or medium level. Besides there are many ideas that can be incorporated into a course which follows a different path. Some material, especially in Part III, is valuable even to experts.Reviewer: I.Z.Ruzsa (Budapest) Cited in 22 Documents MSC:11-01Textbooks (number theory)11AxxElementary number theory11NxxMultiplicative number theory11PxxAdditive number theory; partitions11MxxAnalytic theory of zeta and $L$-functions11DxxDiophantine equationsKeywords:introduction to number theory; primes; bases; partitions; Fourier analysis; Gauss sums; $abc$ conjecture; Mason's theorem; multiplicative number theory; prime number theorem; Dirichlet's theorem; primes in arithmetic progressions; convolution; number and sum of divisors; Selberg's elementary proof; additive number theory; Linnik's elementary solution to Waring's problem; integer-valued polynomial; lower density; representation of primes; representations by sums of squares; partition function; logarithmic asymptotics; exercises BibTeX Full Text: DOI
