A Safer Way to Get High Yields
Dividend Growth Reveals the Path to Profits >>Franklin has 18% of assets in floating-rate loans. Those yield about 5.5%. The floating issues are loans made by banks to companies with below-investment grade credit. Because the loans are senior secured debt, they are considered safer than high-yield bonds. In the event of a default, owners of loans are paid before high-yield bond investors receive anything. If interest rates rise, the yields of the floating-rate issues adjust upwards. That helps the bank loans to be resilient during periods when most other fixed-income assets are sinking. "Bank loans tend to be more stable than high-yield bonds," says Eric Takaha, a Franklin portfolio manager. Another fund that performed well in 2008 is John Hancock Strategic Income. During the past ten years, John Hancock returned 7.8% annually. A year and a half ago, the fund had more than 40% of assets in high-yield bonds. Since then the portfolio managers have lowered the allocation as prices appreciated. Now the fund has 34% of assets in the sector. John Hancock has been increasing its stake in emerging markets bonds, which now account for 25% of assets. Portfolio manager Dan Janis especially likes bonds from emerging Asian countries, including Singapore, Malaysia, and the Philippines. The Asian economies remain healthy as domestic consumption increases. While credit rating agencies have downgraded the U.S. and European countries, many of the Asian economies have been getting stronger. "Indonesia has been upgraded every year for the last three years, and the Philippines is in the process of being upgraded," says Janis.Investors seeking a tamer choice may prefer Franklin Strategic Income. During the past ten years, the fund returned 7.9% annually. Franklin typically has between 20% and 40% of assets in high-yield bonds. The allocation last dipped near the low end of the range in 2007 and early 2008. At the time, confident investors had little concern about defaults, and they bid up prices of shaky issues. As a result, high-yield bonds only yielded 300 basis points (3 percentage points) more than Treasuries. By shifting away from high yield, Franklin limited losses in 2008 and outdid most of its peers. The fund now has 28% of assets in high yield.

Dudes and dudettes..it was a glorious day yesterday when Nanny Bloomberg received a set-back on his ban the size of soda one can purchase! Of course the majority of those with a brain that works rejoiced…but there were a few that were steaming mad about this decision…and Sheriff Mika was one of them. She minced no words this morning with the poisonous words she had to spew on the msDNC Funny Farm. It was fun watching this leftist-loon furious, all the while lying thru her teeth about facts as she sees them, but many of us don't…besides that, it's none of her or anyone else's danged business…leave us alone already!
Since I happened to catch this about four a.m. I wanted to share this with you. This is one time it's fun to watch how an elitist dimwit thinks…and demands you do as well, or else! – This is via Mediaite:
Sugar-loving New Yorkers rejoiced yesterday when a judge invalidated Mayor Michael Bloomberg's Big Bad Soda Ban — but not all of the city's residents were quite so pleased. Namely, one Mika Brzezinski, who took to railing against an industry that "poisons" children. Meanwhile, her co-host Joe Scarborough decided to further provoke her by grabbing a sugary snack.
"The American Beverage Association is relieved because they can continue to make money poisoning people," Brzezinski remarked, while recapping the story at the top of the show.
The same hurdle appeared when calorie counts were first added to menus, but he won on appeal, Steve Rattner reminded.
"Most New Yorkers agree with this judge," Scarborough asserted. "Don't tell us what to drink."
Willie Geist said while Bloomberg's intentions are good, the proposal was indeed "arbitrary" like the judge said. "It's a very difficult law to apply," he added.
"At some point, there will be, unfortunately, a clamp down on the restaurant industry and the beverage industry just much like the cigarette industry," Brzezinski argued, noting that the science is catching up with people like Bloomberg.
"Be mad at the fact that you buy this stuff, again and again and again, and these companies feel they have to produce poison for your and your children," she later urged. "
"Stop it. Stop it," Scarborough replied, not humoring her. "I think I've given you enough lead here. Reel it back in on this."
"I'm saying it's killing us, it's killing our children," she pressed. "It's liquid sugar, and sugar is poison.
Scarborough begged to differ — noting that he drank soda and ate snacks, but that he was active. "It's the lack of activity combined with people sitting on the couch instead of going out and playing all day, they're playing video games on the couch," he said.
As Brzezinski reminded that he was a football player, Scarborough retorted that she was proving his point. Bloomberg could instead direct his energy toward getting more rigorous physical education programs in schools, he suggested.
"These foods actually are toxic, the way they are made, if I may finish, I contend that you're making an incorrect statement by saying these things aren't poison," Brzezinski insisted.
"They're not poison," Scarborough repeated, then walking away from the table for a second… and coming back with a plate of munchkins.
"I bet you couldn't put those aside if I asked you to, if I challenged you to," Brzezinski told him. "Those are so full of sugar and fat and trigger a reward mechanism in the brain that makes you not able to stop at one."
Take a look, via msDNC:

You know friends, when RINO Joe Schmo told Mika that it would do well for Bloomie to set his sights on the schools and P.E. for an hour, he should have also included that Bloomie should also set his goals on making sure young adults acquire remedial reading by the time they apply for college as well, but that's another pathetic story. – Anyhow, it was one of the few times I agree with points Scarborough made…what say you?

Doesn't take a genius.
Helmets are perhaps the kings of diminishing returns — after all, every bicycle helmet sold in the US is subject to the same testing, and requires the same certification. What's left after that is ventilation, fit, and, of course, style. Giro's Savant has all three in spades, at a price that doesn't require an immediate grams per dollar calculation. The Savant is secured with Giro's Roc Loc 5, and features 25 Wind Tunnel vents to keep air moving into, through, and out of the helmet.

Awesome Helmet
- Familiarity:I've put it through the wringer
I've had this helmet for a year now and it's by far the best I've owned. I've had a few accidents with it and has saved me from a trip to the hospital once. I love how the padding feels, adjusts great, and it breathes really well. Totally recommend it!
Lightweight and Ventilated
- Familiarity:I've used it several times
This is an amazing helmet. It's very lightweight and it has a lot of vents which helps to keep your head cool in Costa Rica's hot and humid weather.
It's also very easy to adjust and has almost too many sides or places to be adjusted, which is nice because it allows you to make the perfect fit.
It's just a great helmet at a pretty good price. Also, the yellow one looks awesome :)
Biking Highway 1, CA Coastal Highway
Unfortunately, I did wipe out along the cliff side of the Pacific Ocean on my trip, but thank goodness I wore this helmet. I didn't feel a thing and it could have ended badly. Thanks to Giro! The Savant is comfortable, and durable. I am also fond of the adjustable cable system at the back to tighten or loosen helmet fit, as well as how cool it kept me with all the ventilation. Great pick!
Fits and protects
- Familiarity:I've put it through the wringer
Comfortable and easy to adjust, I am a 7 5/8 hat size and this large helmet fit my fat head well. I can also say it works great from a couple of nice crashes. The green is not stupid bright fluorescent, but looks solid.
Best helmet for price
- Familiarity:I gave it as a gift but have feedback to share
Bought one for my dad and one for my gf. Super well ventilated and very light. Awesome overall helmet, no problems.
- Familiarity:I've used it several times
Got this for my second season on the road as the previous helmet I got was just cheap and falling apart. This I got and love while it hasn't been warm enough to see how cool I'll stay with it I can wear it and be comfortable while riding great buy for the price
Back for a 2nd color...
- Familiarity:I've put it through the wringer
I already own the highlighter yellow Savant and I just purchased the matte white/black version on clearance. Phenomenal value for such a comfortable, stylish Giro helmet. I've tried other brands and I always come back to Giro. I also own a Saros, Atmos 2, and an Air Attack Shield. As is the case with most Giro road helmets, my Oakley Jawbones fit perfectly.
Nice looking helmet at a great price!
- Familiarity:I've used it once or twice and have initial impressions
I'm trying out my first road bike ever this year and it's been an adventure to say the least. Picking out the right gear for the first time is a little difficult, but I have to say I love this helmet. Everything about it is great. The look is nice and it's pretty lightweight. It fits great and having the adjustable loc in the back makes it feel secure. It's a great price and I feel safe in it!
It's a helmet
- Familiarity:I've put it through the wringer
A helmet is a helmet in my opinion (excluding aero helmets), as long as it fits and is comfortable i am happy. This has been going strong for years and does exactly what it is supposed to. I do not understand spending more on a helmet, this does everything you could possibly need.
Saved my head!
- Familiarity:I've put it through the wringer
I am a new road biker and purchased this helmet based off the reviews of other users. I recently wiped out on my bike at approximately 10mph and was thrown about 10 feet from my bike (watch out for those railroad tracks)! I remember my head bouncing off the cement and I have to thank this helmet for saving me from a more serious injury. I walked away with some bruising and a mild concussion. My helmet is scratched and the foam cracked all the way through so it definitely did it's job! I'll be purchasing a replacement Savant ASAP. Always wear your helmet!!!
Saves Your Noggin
- Familiarity:I've put it through the wringer
I purchased this helmet over a year ago and have worn it on every ride. I have found that the helmet fits my head very well (it's somewhat small as I'm a petite girl) and doesn't give me a headache or pressure spots on long rides. It also doesn't feel like it's weighing my head down, which keeps my neck from hurting. I recently got into a nasty crash, and this helmet came through for me. I was thrown to the ground (asphalt) with considerable force and my head bounced off the pavement. I nailed the right side of my head-that resulted in a cracked helmet, but a fully intact skull. For the price I don't think you'll find a better fitting and performing helmet. I've worn several different Specialized helmets prior to this and this helmet wins hands down. The highlighter yellow is an added hi-vis perk, if you ask me. :) Also, Giro does have a crash replacement program. But, thanks to the awesome Backcountry deals, I was able to get it cheaper here than that of the crash replacement discount. Incredible!
What really matters.....
- Familiarity:I've put it through the wringer
I've had this helmet for the last two years. It always fit really well with a bare head or a winter beanie - particularly with Giro's Roc Loc system, never felt overly heavy when compared to other helmets at much higher prices and I personally liked the looks of it. With all of that being said, I can tell you that this helmet performed extremely well during a crash this past weekend. My bike came out from under me on a sharp turn and some loose gravel and my head bounced - yes, bounced - off the pavement. After I dusted myself off and took stock, my head was fine and was able to finish off the ride. Looking over the helmet it had a few dents from the impact but by all accounts I have a fully functioning brain. Now you could go spend $300 on a POC Octal with its self-proclaimed safety benefits, but this $90 Savant has my lifelong support after saving my noggin this past weekend.
great product, great price

I purchased this helmet at the same time that my wife purchased a 200 dollar helmet. i cant get her to stop wearing mine. the quality is fantastic, and it fits sooo snug with their adjustable sizing system, i can just about wear it with out using the straps. its light enough not to notice (i dont know why people insist on buying things any lighter than this, at that point you might as well complain that your hair is to heavy)
great product at a great price
Great helmet

This is a really nice helmet if you want something that wont break the bank. Working in a bike shop I've tried a few helmets and this still is one of my favourites and have had 2 over the last 2 years. Its a super comfy helmet and offers really good ventilation as well. Giro never disappoint.
Giro Savant Helmet
savant on dome
Love the highlighter yellow! Visibility matters to me...
Padding Up Close
The black foam strips in the helmet can be removed. Giro also includes additional blue foam strips for even more precise fitting. Replacement black strips can be purchased for about five bucks.
Easily Fitted to Your Size
The Savant's ROC LOC 5 knob enables you to lock in the best fit quickly.
Good Helmet, Good Protection
The Savant is an extremely light helmet and offers good protection. The Matte Black finish matches my bike:) The fitting system enables you to put the helmet on your head, turn the dial to your size, and you're set. I also like the ability to take the foam cushions out of the helmet and clean them.
Will Oakley M frames fit in the vents?...
Will Oakley M frames fit in the vents? (size medium)
The Oakley's you have should not have any issues fitting along with the Giro Savant helmet.
What is the weight?
What is the weight?
The weight for this helmet is 1.36 lbs.
I have size Medium and it says weight is 262 grams.

Given a curve in the plane, let it deform in the direction of its curvature vector. It was conjectured that the curve would collapse in finite time to a point and that, as the curve collapsed, it would become asymptotically close to a shrinking standard circle. The authors prove this conjecture for a convex plane curve. In a more recent paper [J. Differ. Geom. 26, 285-314 (1987)], {\it M. A.

Integral estimates (and the isoperimetric inequality) are used to obtain the necessary bounds for proving long time existence and convergence towards a shrinking circle. This is in contrast to G.

ECBC Partners with JPM-Elimination for Personnel Decontamination Training
December 4, 2013
Related Links
ABERDEEN PROVING GROUND, Md. -- What do you do when a spill of hazardous material occurs? Call in the experts: trained equipment technicians and operators from the Chemical Biological Application and Risk Reduction (CBARR) Business Unit of the U.S. Army Edgewood Chemical Biological Center (ECBC). CBARR personnel often work at onsite locations where chemical and biological (CB) agents are present, and typically loaded inside recovered warfare material. They are trained to remain calm and focused during high-pressure emergencies, and know how to perform decontamination safety measures under the threat of serious harm and injury.
During a new training course developed in conjunction with the Joint Project Manager-Elimination (JPM-E), ECBC personnel wearing Level C personnel protective equipment (PPE) simulated gross decontamination of a mass casualty incident. A designated line of tape on the floor indicated the hot and warm zones of the simulated incident. After crossing into the warm zone, a participant enters the first of three stations -- the shuffle pit -- where the trainee is scrubbed with sodium hypochloride or bleach, depending on which chemical solution was deemed necessary for the decontamination training exercise.
"The second station is called 'complete decontamination,' where they take soapy water and scrub the person from head to toe, and front to back in order to get chemical contamination from the creases in the suits. The hands and feet are the main points of focus and after that, they are hosed down with fresh water at the rinse station," said Jerry Hogue, personnel decontamination trainer.
From there, low-level quadrant monitoring is conducted. Miniature Continuous Air Monitors (MINCAMS) are used to run a full quadrant monitoring set, which includes: 1) head to mid-body monitoring in the front; 2) head to mid-body monitoring of the back; 3) mid-body to feet monitoring of the front; and 4) mid-body to feet monitoring of the back. MINICAMS are an analytical instrument used to accurately monitor vapors from potential exposure. Once cleared, the trainee is stripped of the now-decontaminated PPE and completes the Personnel Decontamination Station (PDS) with a final rinse station.
"The training program is very comprehensive and uses the standard operating procedures (SOPs) from CBARR and the 20th Support Command's subordinate element, the CBRNE (Chemical Biological, Radiological, Nuclear and Explosives) Analytical and Remediation Activity (CARA)," said Chris Wilson, an industrial equipment mechanic for CBARR. Wilson is a veteran of the U.S. Air Force and served as an aircraft maintenance mechanic for 15 years. His experience wearing PPE and his background in explosives is what attracted him to the job at CBARR seven years ago. It also allowed him to trust the safety procedures and protocols, something that gives him a sense of peace while handing some of the most dangerous hazardous materials, he said.
"Wearing gear like the mask and equipment is something that you get used to over time. There are many people who have trouble getting acclimated to the weight of the suit. Some have trouble standing on one foot due to the oversized boots and you're wearing clothing that you normally wouldn't wear. It's restrictive and there's limited range of motion, which can cause dehydration and fatigue," Wilson said. "The new training program is great, especially for newcomers because the hands-on exercises require you to don the full PPE gear. It gives you the actual feeling of being in the suit and mask as you simulate the entire 45-minute decon process."
ECBC's CBARR Business unit is a highly trained and experienced workforce that supports numerous government agencies and whose personnel is certified for a variety of field operations, including the demolition of former chemical and biological process facilities, the remediation of formerly used defense sites, non-proliferation activities and environmental investigations. All of these missions have an element of risk and danger associated with them, making safety not only the number one priority for all personnel, but a necessary component that ensures the project mission is successful. For 96 years, ECBC's core competency has been working safely with chemical and biological agents in research, engineering and operations for the Department of Defense across the nation and around the globe.
According to Wilson, there is no question how paramount the appropriate training is for personnel deployed on field operations, whether they are a new employee understanding the process for the first time or a veteran who has completed countless operations in their career.
In 2012, JPM-E identified a number of courses that chemical workers are required to take on an annual basis to retain their qualifications. According to the Occupational Safety and Health Administration (OSHA) standards, operators must learn new techniques and methodologies for reacting to hazards. The PDS training course got a recent upgrade after a partnership with JPM-E turned the annual required training into a robust three-day program of classroom instruction and hands-on exercises.
"Some of the things we're trying to inject into these course developments are the use of videos, live hands-on training and realistic scenario-based activities," said Karen Price, training development coordinator for JPM-E. "Training can prepare you to think quickly when something out of the ordinary happens at a site location. We need to be flexible and adapt to the new technologies that are being developed in order to determine what will work best for a given environment."
According to Price, soap and water is not the only quick emergency cleanup. A new biological skin decontamination lotion approved by the FDA can be used for decontamination purposes and is one of the many new products JPM-E tries to incorporate into its 20-30 training development programs. The Chemical Demilitarization Training Facility (CDTF) located on the Edgewood area of APG, Md., provide an easy-access, controlled environment conducive for personnel required to complete training.
"Having the ability to set up full scale equipment in the high bay area for scenario-based training is incredibly beneficial," Price said. "All of our courses are developed in conjunction with our partners--ECBC and CARA--whose subject matter experts help shape the guidelines and requirements of a given course. Once it is developed, we'll conduct an internal pilot to run through all of the different module and components before finally offering the class to students, the public or other agencies at APG."
But the challenge for Price is keeping the training content fresh for folks who have numerous years of experience on field operations. Leroy Wainwright has been a CBARR industrial maintenance mechanic for the past 12 years, whose primary responsibility is to pick up hazardous waste at sites across the country. He also has international experience and has worked side-by-side with colleague Wilson for years. The more important thing, he said, is the relationships built among team members on various site projects.
"Take Australia, for instance. That mission and site location requires a multi-talented, diverse group of personnel," said Wainwright, who had previous experience working with personnel protective equipment (PPE) during his 23-year tenure in the U.S. Navy as an aircrew survival equipment specialist. For the past few years, CBARR has supported the Australia Department of Defence (ADoD) in the chemical warfare investigation and assessment of buildings, laboratories and surrounding environment of former Australian chemical warfare facilities.
"When doing this kind of work, we have to trust each other. There's a bond that must be developed. Being together and working with your coworkers on a daily basis overtime eliminates the unknown of responding to a man-down situation. I have to have complete trust in my coworkers if they are going to decon me and help me until emergency personnel arrive. A lot of times, it is your crew onsite that serve as your first responders, so that's when all of the training kicks into gear," Wainwright said.
JPM-E and ECBC's commitment to new training measures furthers each organization's dedication to safety of their more important resource: the personnel. These comprehensive training programs render safe procedures for continued work with chemical and biological agents, including the detection and monitoring equipment and decontamination methods and techniques.
ECBC is part of the U.S. Army Research, Development and Engineering Command, which has the mission to develop technology and engineering solutions for America's Soldiers.
RDECOM is a major subordinate command of the U.S. Army Materiel Command. AMC is the Army's premier provider of materiel readiness -- technology, acquisition support, materiel development, logistics power projection, and sustainment -- to the total force, across the spectrum of joint military operations. If a Soldier shoots it, drives it, flies it, wears it, eats it or communicates with it, AMC provides it.

my baby is only 6 1/2 weeks and we havent had sex since she's been born.... reading all of these other posts scares me that it will get that bad. we need some professional advice here :S why are husbands being like this, aren't we the ones that are supposed to not want to have sex? it's all so backwards....posted 01/17/2011 by a BabyCenter Member
hey i have a 10 month old baby and it makes me even sad reading your guys situation i can personally say im going threw it but i think i can give you guys a suggestion..me and my husband had lots of sex before being pregnant during pregnancy and after pregnancy it was me not being so interested in sex but my husband would push it and it actually just made it worst for me altought when he stop asking i started wanting it.. and that even happened a little after my 40 days i know this caNT COMPARE but all i can say is dont push it just make yourself attractive for yourself and he will come around...maybe even make him think your trying for someone else and trust me he will want it way more turn on the flame from before \posted 01/12/2011 by a BabyCenter Member
i understand where you're coming from. you are not alone in this situation. coming from me, i feel the same way. eversince i got pregnant til now, the relationship didnt seem to be there. he put me through some very hard times and it really nailed it to the point where he and i just werent in the mood for sex. and often, we do enjoy our sex life, maybe it was me? i got bigger and i felt unattractive. i'd catch him looking at other women and it really turn me off. he jokes around and say stupid things and that really hurt me too. but, he always tells me he loves me and that im still beautiful and attractive, i want to believe him and sometimes i dont. its hard, i just ignore this way about him and talk to him about my feelings all the time. we dont really have sex that much anymore mainly because of the safety or the way he is. i love him and all, i accept him for who he is, and if i have a problem, i always tell him. some men are real gentlemen and some are very selfishminded.posted 12/15/2010 by a BabyCenter Member
Well haha im not the only one! My husband and I have been married for a year and a half.. we dated for a year before I got pregnant and we used to have sex ALL THE TIME and we didnt even live together but every time we would see each other we would have sex. anyway our daughter is 10 months old now and even tho we do have sex its not the same at all. his explanation was (after getting rejected for a few times) that he was tired from working all day, and also that he wanted to loose weight because he gained weight so now his "sexual drive" is low. i guess i kinda understand this but i dont think a kiss takes that much work he only kisses me whenever i ask him too or whenever he really wants to have sex. I feel like he doesnt think im pretty anymore or im fat cuz i would turn him on all the time it didnt matter how many hours a day he worked but now its like whatever. Im just glad im not the only one going tru this. i know he loves me but i was used to one thing and now its not the sameposted 12/04/2010 by a BabyCenter Member
...after pregnancy. To the women suffering, I?m not sure what to suggest!posted 10/26/2010 by ZZanon
All I have read is so sad. I am a guy but in the same boat as all you women. I am faithful to my wife and I love her. But so little sex is so hard! She used to like it a lot but consent only ~3 times a week. We have been married for <5 years and she is pregnant with a girl, our first child. We are in the second trimester which is supposed to be the good one. We cuddle and I am affectionate but she has no sex drive anymore. I am afraid it will be like this till she is done breast feeding! Sex once a week is a chore to her and usually it hurts her too much to complete. And it will only get less from here? What am I to do? I just pray for grace. It is so hard! Temptations do get worse without sex. I know pornography is a sly trap. I can understand why men don't want their wives after seeing that. Porn is pleasure w/o responsibility, it is escapism. Real life is different. Choices have consequences. Ask Jesus for help, he died to heal relationships. Find out who he is. Read book of John.posted 11/17/2007 by a BabyCenter Member
I have had this problem as well. After prodding my partner he admitted that it is due to an odor that I have acquired since being pregnant. I have been to the Dr. and I do not have any bacterial infections. The excretion is just more acidic now. All I can hope is that it goes away after the baby. I am not upset, a little hurt, but not upset. It's a physical issue, he can't help it. Maybe, this is some of the other guy's issues as well. They may not admit it for fear of hurting feelings, but it is what it is.posted 04/15/2009 by jaycet
It's so amazing to me that so many women have gone through the same thing. But I'm curious...is there a solution? Does it ever get better? What can we do to make it better?posted 02/15/2009 by Mom since June
Well I came on here hoping to find someone feeling relatively the same as I do...I didn't expect the number to be so high!! Now I feel even worse because I thought my 9 weeks without it was bad....I can't imagine going on as long most of you others. I'm already resenting my husband so much and becoming so bitter. I'm only 23 and he's 34..I didn't think his sex drive would have dwindled so much by this point. Wev'e never had an overactive sex life by any means...maybe once a week before getting pregnant...but now at 5 months and nothing..I am beyond Frustrated!! I understand his reasonings as to why he's unable to have the desire...but excuses get old and thats all they become..EXCUSES!! If it's not "I'm stressed" it's because of stuff Iv'e said in the past he holds on to...like making the mistake of saying I didn't want to be with him..that is now his biggest reason why he is hindered from having sex with me..he doesn't feel loved he says. He doesn't understand that neither do I!posted 05/06/2008 by jessekayr
Mel- Mine does the same stupid thing!!! He will wait unti I fall asleep or ask me to go close our business because he is to "tired" or tell me he's going to bed and if I'm gonna watch tv I need to go down stairs. I am 2 months pregnant, not far at all, but my tummy is definatly showing. I'm a petite girl and I don't know why my stomach is getting big so quickly but regaurdless I feel like such a fat ass! I feel so ugly and unwanted! I'm laying right their what's wrong with me? We have an 18 month old together and when I was pregnant with her is when things started to change and now they seem to be getting worse. He "handles his business" 6 that's right 6 times a week! The other one day, he either isn't in the mood or just wants me to please him and leaves me hanging their. Then when I say something he gives me crap well wouldn't you rather have me do that then go out and cheat on you! My god, what is wrong with me? I hate myself. The fact that I am pregnant and gaining weight so quickly doesn't help either. I feel so empty. I can't even look in the mirror anymore. When I try to talk to him about it I get more crap and don't get anywhere. I hate it so much. I can't fit in my small cute clothes anymore, I can't go tanning, I see him looking at other girls all the time on the internet and I know I don't look like that. I'm so depressed now. I don't wanna go anywhere, do anything, get ready-what's the point it's not like he would notice anyways. I'm sick of it! What should I do? Someone PLZ help!?!posted 04/12/2006 by maka_mama

"Tual - Southeast Maluku" Tual by DidiBeachBum
Tual Travel Guide: 1 reviews and 10 photos
I read in Tamasya Magazine (Indonesian travel mag) about Maluku. That's how i found out about Tual. It's written on the mag that there's this amazingly gorgeous beach with sand as soft as flour. It has the softest sand in the world. So i think i have to prove that this is true and see it for myself. This Ngurbloat beach, is located in Kei Kecil Island, south eastern part of Maluku, with Tual as the capital city. I've always wanted to visit Maluku, it's definitely on my wish list. So i was determined if i go to Maluku, i have to Ngurbloat Beach!
Fish is abundant and very cheap in South east Maluku :) yum yum
There's plenty of beautiful beaches is Kei Kecil island... you'll never get bored :)
- In a nutshell:I left my footprints and my heart in Tual :)
