Actually, many of today's "crude" words words for bodyparts, e.g. the male and female C-word, have been around a long, long time. I doubt that a proper Regency miss would know or use them (but then, proper Regency misses have done a lot of unlikely things in today's historical romances), but a Duke of Slut type hero probably would at least know such words. And for historicals, the medical terms would probably be unsuitable, simply because they were not in common use.
Otherwise, I wonder whether this objection to clinical terms is a cultural thing, because to me the word "penis" is not clinical at all, because that's how I have always called the respective bodypart from a single digit age on. We do have euphemisms and more or less colourful slang terms, but I think "penis" is the one most people would use.
I can see the problem with "vagina" because that one really does have that clinical ring to it, probably because "vagina" is a term I only learned in school, before that I used the neutral German word. If I were writing in German or translating a respective scene, I'd probably use that neutral term (and since the same word can also mean sword sheath, you could have some nice imagery as a bonus), since I hate all of the German slang terms. But English does not seem to have an equivalent neutral word, so we're stuck with vagina on the one hand and euphemisms or slang terms on the other.

UGH! Sorry, but that is just as bad! *cringing!* It just sounds so...porn. Egh!!
Well, I think that DOES make my point!
Thanks, Linda. Sorry if I managed to offend you. In the context of the book it didn't bother me in the least.

Oh, yeah, definitely! For me, it's not so much the words but on which time period I am reading. Shakespeare played with quite a lot of those words, and if there was bawdy talk in an English Renaissance novel, I'd accept it - but with Victorian novels it throws me for a loop.

Schola - would the book to which you refer be Return of the Rogue by Jo Beverley? She also uses a different female "c" word, "c-nny" in place of the usual one. Gets the idea across but perhaps without being as potentially offensive.
Yes, that's the book!
(Incidentally, that's one Beverley with what I think is a rock solid HEA.)
"C*nny" is also in an Elizabeth Hoyt novel. Either
The Leopard Prince
The Serpent Prince
. . . or maybe both. The first time I read it, the crudeness shocked me . . . but then again, Hoyt's sex scenes are generally shocking, so they do fit.
Interestingly, they didn't shock me in
The Return of the Rogue
, which I read first. That may be because the heroine doesn't say the word to titillate the hero or to describe her own arousal, but is neutrally musing about the earthy vocabulary she remembered from her childhood.

For actually-used pre-modern terminology, a useful reference is:
Pauline Kiernan, Filthy shakespeare: Shakespeare's Most Outrageous Sexual Puns (Gotham Books, 2007).
Kiernan has a doctorate from Oxford and is also the author of Shakespeare's Theory of Drama.
The problem for an author in using many of these is that many readers, probably, would not catch the references because the vocabulary is obsolete.

No need to apologize at all!
I haven't read the book in question so I certainly can't speak for how well it fit into the dialog.
It's interesting how certain words can evoke a strong response depending upon the reader. I wouldn't say I was
offended by it but I guess you could compare it to coming across an unpleasant smell that makes you want to hold your nose and run out of the room. *G*
With regard to use of the clinical term 'penis', I rarely hear men use that term. More often it's their 'd*ck' or referred to as if it's a seperate entity such as 'him'. Oh look,
happy! Or .ohhh
likes that...lol. I also have only rarely heard them use 'c@ck', I've read the term in books but have not ever heard it used in real life unless it was via an insult. It may depend on where you're from.

New York, N.Y. – The University of Arizona Wildcat No. 8 men's and women's track and field wrapped up competition this weekend at the Armory Collegiate Invitational and the Mountain T's Invitational. The Armory Collegiate Invitational took place in New York, N.Y. The Mountain T's Invitational was held at J.L. Walkup Skydome in Flagstaff, Ariz.
Senior Shapri Romero clocked a personal-best time of 52.82 in the 400-meter sprint; good for first place overall in the championship section. Her time is also the No. 5 time in the country this season. She has clocked personal-best times in her last three 400-meter races. On the men's side, freshman Miles Parish also won the 400-meter sprint championship section. He clocked a time of 47.23, the second-best time of his career.
"I felt really good," Romero said. "I just wanted to repeat what I did yesterday with a few minor adjustments. We wanted to open up my hands so I would use my arms more because I was getting a lot of upper-body rotation yesterday. That definitely helped and I ran a lot more efficient. It was really exciting for coach (Francesca) Green and I, it was our plan for me to be feeling really good at this meet. We've been grinding through the other meets and I haven't been feeling my best so to clock two personal bests in one weekend, in New York, at The Armory, was really exciting and shoed that I'm on my way."
The quartet of sophomore Nnenya Hailey, freshman Jasper Gray, senior Tamara Pridgett and Romero earned a second-place finish in the women's 4x400-meter relay championship section. The quartet clocked a season-best time of 3:38.46 with Romero clocking a 400-meter split of 51.91. Romero ran down Arkansas and Harvard and was able earn a second-place finish for the Wildcats. That time currently ranks as the No. 16 mark in the country.
"After the 400 meters, I didn't realize how close the 4x400-meter relay was," Romero said. "So I didn't really do anything, I was already pretty warm. Nnenya had a really good leg, we're trying to help her run on the bank, which takes a lot of strategy and she's the one who has to cut in. So she did really well. Jasper was able to maintain and then Tamara ran a really good leg too. When I got the stick in second-to-last place, the run, it caught me off-guard. I didn't know where it came from, I'm pretty sure it was Jesus."
Senior Nick Ross won his third-straight meet in the 2014 indoor season. Ross, a member of The Bowerman Watch List, the award for collegiate track and field's most outstanding athlete, won at The Armory on Saturday with a clearance of 7-5 (2.26m). He had three strong attempts at 7-7.25 (2.32m), an attempt to improve his collegiate-leading mark of 7-7 (2.31m), also a school record. In the men's triple jump competition, junior Jovon Cunningham posted a mark of 49-4.25 (15.04m), good for seventh place overall. Freshman Jordan Young took second place in the men's weight throw with a toss of 68-7 (20.90m).
Junior Sam Macaluso clocked a personal-best time of 8:05.87 in the men's 3K and earned a fifth-place finish in the championship section. Macaluso hails from West Windsor, N.J. and got the chance to compete in front of his family and friends for the first time in years. His time stands as the No. 28 time in the country excluding results from the around the country on Saturday. In the women's 800-meter race, senior Meg Bellino clocked a season-best time of 2:09.47 and earned a fifth-place finish overall. Junior Kate Penney clocked a time of 4:52.18 in the mile.
"We learned a lot this weekend," head coach Fred Harvey said. "The warm-up situation, the ring situation for the throwers, learning how to work through those things and be able to be competitive is important. As a team, looking at the meet, the takeaway for me is that there are still things we have to get better at. Some of our distance runners are really talented but they had some adversity this weekend. I'm confident in them that those things will get worked out. Moving into the next couple of weeks, we have to get back to work once we get back to Tucson. We have to get focused and continue to grow."
In Flagstaff, junior Pau Tonnesen had a season-best score in the men's heptathlon. He earned a first-place finish with a score of 5,328, the No. 22 mark in the country. He threw 42-2 (12.85m) in the shot put, good for 658 points. He long jumped 22-1.5 (6.74m) and scored 753 points. He cleared 16-4.75 (5.00m) in the pole vault, a personal-best mark that counted for 910 points. He cleared 6-9.5 (2.07m) in the high jump, 868 points to his final score. He ran 8.61 in the 60-meter hurdles, tallying 834 points. He ran the 1,000-meter race in 3:09.20 and scored 577 points. Tonnesen's time of 7.43 in the 60-meter dash was good for 736 points.

In a measure space, let's call a measurable subset atomless wrt the measure, if it does not have an atomic subset. In particular a measurable subset with zero measure is atomless.
There may be measurable subsets that are neither atomic nor atomless, for instance, the union of atomic subset(s) and atomless subset(s) with positive measure(s).
- I was wondering if the converse is true, i.e. if a measurable subset is neither atomic nor atomless, then must it be the union of atomic subset(s) and atomless subset(s) with positive measure(s)?
- I think the previous question is equivalent to whether any measurable subset can be partitioned into atomic subset(s) and atomless subset(s)?
Thanks and regards!

Baltimore County News
by Elise Armacost
Director, Public Safety Office of Media & Communications
Remember the old urban legends about Halloween? The tainted candy and razor blade-stuffed apples, the creepy neighbor waiting – like the horrible "Chitty Chitty Bang Bang" child catcher – to snatch up unsuspecting trick-or-treaters and spirit them to some evil place?
Those fears are the stuff of nightmares – but not necessarily of reality.
Yes, our police officers, firefighters and EMS personnel do advise you to check your kids' Halloween treat bags for goodies that don't look quite right; if it's unwrapped, throw it out, if only because you don't want anybody eating M&Ms that somebody else has touched with their bare hands.
And yes, children should be taught not to go inside strangers' houses or cars, to look for the porch lights and familiar faces and trick-or-treat there.
But public safety officials agree that parents should not let worries about candy tampering and abduction by strangers stop them and their children from enjoying Halloween. These kinds of incidents are rare.
What you should worry about is something much more commonplace: Traffic.
Children walking in the dark – masked and costumed – in the early evening, when the roads still are busy, is a recipe for accidents.
A 2008 study of by the National Highway Transportation Safety Administration found that Halloween is the second-deadliest day of the year for pedestrians of all ages (behind New Year's Day). For kids, Halloween may be the deadliest day of the year; the non-profit Safe Kids USA, a network of organizations dedicated to protecting children from accidental injury, reports that twice as many children are killed in pedestrian accidents on Halloween than on any other day.
Here are a few tips from the Police Department's traffic experts on how to minimize the risks of pedestrian accidents on Halloween:
- Though it sounds obvious, this rule bears repeating: Don't let younger children trick or treat alone; an adult must go with them. Older children and teens should travel in groups.
- Use flashlights. The biggest problem on Halloween is that trick-or-treaters are difficult to see in the dark. Reflective vests or strips are a great idea, but let's face it: Many kids will balk at wearing them. Make them carry a flashlight.
- If your child wears a mask, make sure they can see out of it. If they're wearing a long costume, make sure it's not so long that they'll trip over it.
- Follow traffic laws. Dashing across streets is risky, especially in the dark. Cross at crosswalks.
- Pay attention to what's going on. This can be hard for children caught up in the excitement of the evening, but police say it is essential – not just for avoiding traffic accidents but as protection against criminals who see an opportunity to grab an unsuspecting mother's purse or a trick-or-treater's bag of candy.
Of course, motorists bear responsibility, too, for avoiding accidents. Drivers know that Halloween is an unusual evening. Whether you're coming home from work or heading off to a meeting or school event, ratchet down the speed while ratcheting up the attentiveness.
The Baltimore Metropolitan Council's "Street Smart" pedestrian safety campaign offers a wealth of valuable information about the issue of pedestrian traffic accidents.
Now, in the days leading up to the Halloween holiday is a sensible time to review it – a small investment that will pay off on November 1, when we wake up to find that the nightmares were all pretend.

· Having trouble staying excited about differential equations or the causes of the fall of Rome? Find yourself reading and re-reading the same paragraph or page? Nodding off, and losing track of big chunks of time? Here are some things you can do to stay on track:
· Don't study similar subjects back-to-back. Sociology and political science information will run together in your mind. Break it up with math, biology, etc.
Examine your study place. Noisy? Full of Distractions? Change locale!
· Study in the same place every day/night. This gets your brain conditioned for study as soon as you sit down in your study area.
As soon as you realize you're daydreaming, put a check in the margin of your notes or book. Count the checks at the end of a session; try to make this number smaller each time you read! Go back and read or study where you have put check marks.
· If you're fading rapidly, stand up, face the other way, sit down and get back to work.
· Take short breaks (10 minutes) every hour or so. Get up, walk around, talk to someone, get a snack, etc.
· Work while standing up for a while. It's hard to daydream while standing!
· If bothered about something, and you find yourself thinking of it instead of your notes or textbook, take out a piece of paper, write down what is bothering you, and then throw the paper away. It's a way of telling yourself, "Okay, get it out of your system."
· Make deals with yourself. For every hour of study, watch one TV show later. For an English paper completed, go to a movie on the weekend. For every three hours of studying, make one phone call. Stick to your plans…don't reward yourself if you don't complete the deal.
· Study with others. Get a group together from class and meet regularly to go over notes/text. This works if it's well organized. Don't let it become a chatting session. Don't choose people who are doing worse than you in the class; go for the superstars, if possible. If you need a place to study in groups, come to Tutoring and Academic Assistance Programs. We're open 8-5 daily.

Leadville Fatbike/Winter Racing
Submitted by Ben Welnak on
Photos: Leaf Treinen
The winter of 2011-2012 has seen an explosion of fatbike riding. Thankfully, the Cloud City Wheelers gang in Leadville has been organizing a winter mountain bike racing series for years that welcomes both fatbikes and regular mountain bikes. The first race of the series, the Copper en Fuego, held at Copper Mountain, was a huge hit.
This past Saturday night was the third race of the series, the Mineral Belt Mayhem. It's a staple in the series and for good reason. It's an opportunity to race down the main street of downtown Leadville, Harrison Avenue.
Forty racers showed up for the race around the Mineral Belt Trail. For this race, the Cycles of Life bike shop, located on Harrison Ave. played host as the race venue. It's a unique race because the street is covered with a thick packed snow course for the annual ski joring event that is part of the yearly Crystal Carnival, which also includes a weekend full of events.
It was nearing 7pm and we started to get ready to roll. The start of the race was a neutral rollout down the main drag until the group met a local police officer, who then lead the rest of the neutral rollout until the official race start at the Mineral Belt Trail.
The Mineral Belt Trail is a 11.6 mile paved multi-use path in the summer, catering to bikers, walkers, and other recreational users. During the winter, it is a nicely groomed cross country ski trail that welcomes fatbikers too.
Three riders took to the lead in the rollout, seemingly hoping to push the pace from the beginning. They were pushing the "neutral" aspect just enough to make it interesting. Once the police car turned off and the racers hit the trail, the race was blown apart. Riders hit deep, loose snow and were immediately off their bike, hiking as fast they could. That was only a glimpse into what was to go down.
Photos: Leaf Treinen
The Cloud City crew did a lot of grooming, but they received a lot of snow during the week; therefore, it was hard to keep a nice hard-packed surface. Fatbikes ruled the day and everyone on regular mountain bikes had their hands full. Weaving and slipping, many riders were stuck hiking many sections of the race.
Thirteen racers called it quits and dnf'ed. Others stuck it out and were out on the course for well over 3 hours!
Gretchen Reeves won the women's by over two hours! In the men's race, there was a three way race during most of it before I broke away during the last couple miles to take the win and Marvin Sandoval took over Kurt Ireland around the same time to capture second place.
We're fortunate to have such unique race opportunities here in Colorado. There is one more race left in the 2012 series. The East Side Epic starts at 10am on Saturday, April 7th. Check-in starts at 8am at the Cycles of Life.
For the full results, check out the Cloud City Wheelers website at http://www.cloudcitywheelers.com/2012-leadville-winter-mountain-bike-rac... .

text: Ok. I don't really care who you are, I didn't ever say you were sticking up for me either. I was saying thanks to all of you for knocking a little sense into me. I really don't like it either when people try to fuck with my head. I'd say i'm pretty damn ok for a kid my age. I am a little confused right now, but I think thats ok since I'm still in my teen years. I'm sorry or whatever. Somthing has crawled up my ass lately and so I'm sorry. This probably doesn't make any sense but whatever. I'm just saying Ill tone it down a little if i've been an ass.

Explore health content from A to Z.
I need information about...
You may feel blue, anxious, or distressed after being told you have cancer. These feelings are normal and may continue or come back throughout treatment. Taking these actions may ease your mental stress:
Talk with your family or friends.
Consider joining a cancer support group or finding a cancer "buddy" who can help you cope.
Consider learning relaxation techniques, meditation, or yoga to help control and ease mood swings.
Exercise to help boost your mood and ease anxiety.
Ask your doctor about medicines for depression and anxiety.
Consider getting a referral to talk with a social worker, psychologist, or psychiatrist.
If you can continue to eat well during cancer treatment, you are more likely to maintain your strength, be more active, and better able to lower your chance of infection. It's important to remember that your body needs energy to heal itself. Maintaining your weight is a good way to know if you are giving your body the energy it needs.
When you're being treated for cancer, a diet high in calories and protein is usually best. The problem is that side effects of treatment, especially chemotherapy, can make you not want to eat. Some chemotherapy treatments can change the way food tastes to you. If this is the case, focus on eating a balanced diet and maintaining your activity level. Ask your doctor for a referral to a registered dietitian if you are having trouble with your appetite or your weight.
Also, try these tips to stimulate your desire to eat:
If you can, eat foods high in protein several times a day. These foods include milk, cheese, cottage cheese, yogurt, meat, fish, eggs, beans, peanut butter, and nuts. Protein helps build and repair tissue, and cancer treatments cause you to use more protein than usual.
To maintain your weight, eat high-calorie foods, such as margarine or butter, sugar, honey, jams, jellies, cream cheese, dried fruit, gravies or sauces, mayonnaise, and salad dressing.
Get plenty of fluids to help control your body temperature and improve food elimination. In addition to water, fruit juices, and other liquids, try gelatin, pudding, soups, fruit bars, and ice cream.
Eat small, regular meals throughout the day instead of 3 large ones.
Keep snacks handy to eat when you are hungry.
Eat with friends or play your favorite music at mealtime to boost your appetite.
Eat your biggest meal in the morning. Many people getting treatment for cancer find that this is when their appetite is greatest.
If you can, increase your activity level. Doing so may also boost your appetite.
On days you don't feel like eating at all, don't worry about it. Try again the next day. If you find your appetite doesn't improve in several days, talk with your doctor or nurse.
Certain kinds of chemotherapy may reduce your blood platelet count. Without enough platelets, your blood may have trouble clotting and lead to a problem called thrombocytopenia. If your doctor tells you that your platelet count is low, take these actions to avoid causing injuries that could lead to bleeding problems:
Protect your skin from cuts, scrapes, and sharp objects.
Shave with an electric razor.
Use a soft toothbrush to prevent bleeding gums. Ask your doctor if it's OK to floss.
Take steps to prevent constipation. This can lead to straining and hemorrhoids, which can often cause bleeding.
Call your doctor if you develop a rash, bleeding, or bruising.
Constipation, which includes difficult or infrequent bowel movements, can range from mildly uncomfortable to painful. Taking pain medications can lead to constipation so it's wise to take these preventive actions. These same steps will give you relief if you are already constipated:
Drink 6 to 8 glasses of fluids a day, especially water and prune juice.
Eat foods high in fiber, such as cereals, whole grains, and uncooked fruits and vegetables.
Take stool softeners or a laxative only as prescribed by your doctor.
Radiation and chemotherapy can cause bowel changes. Diarrhea, which includes loose or frequent bowel movements, or both, may lead to dehydration if you don't take these precautions. Try these steps:
Avoid milk and milk products.
Avoid gas-producing vegetables, dried fruit, fiber cereals, seeds, popcorn, nuts, corn, and dried beans.
Eat low-residue, low-fiber foods such as those found in the BRAT diet (bananas, rice, applesauce, and toast).
Increase your intake of fluids, such as water and broth, to prevent dehydration.
Ask your doctor about medicines that may help.
Many types of chemotherapy can cause hair loss. Losing your hair can be upsetting because thinning or baldness is a visible reminder that you are being treated for cancer. Keep in mind that your hair will grow back after treatment, though it may look different than it did before.
Try these coping tips:
Consider cutting your hair short before treatment starts.
Think about getting a wig, hat, or scarf before your hair loss starts. That way, you can get a wig that matches your hair, and you'll be ready with head coverings, if you choose to use them.
Because your scalp may be more sensitive to temperature and sun, protect it with sunscreen and hats or scarves.
A hot flash is also called a hot flush. It is a sudden rush of warmth, with or without sweating, to the face, neck, upper chest, and back. It can last for a few seconds to an hour or more. Hot flashes can occur with chemotherapy. Some women have mild symptoms, while others have more severe ones. In many cases, hot flashes stop when treatment stops. To ease them, try these tips:
Limit how much you have of hot drinks, caffeine, alcohol, and spicy foods.
Avoid strenuous exercise.
Layer your clothing so that you can add or remove as needed.
Stay out of environments with very warm temperatures.
Use sprays or moist wipes to help lower skin temperature.
Ask your doctor about relaxation training or acupuncture.
Ask your doctor about medicines you can take to ease symptoms.
Many types of chemotherapy can cause a low white blood cell count, which is called neutropenia. Without enough white blood cells, your body may not be able to fight infection.
If your doctor tells you that your white blood cell count is low, take these actions to stay healthy:
Avoid crowds or people with colds.
Wash your hands often throughout the day to kill germs. Bathe daily to keep the number of bacteria down.
Call your doctor right away if you have any of these signs of infection: a temperature of 100.5° F (38° C) or higher, severe chills, a cough, pain, a burning sensation during urination, or any sores or redness.
Insomnia can be caused by anxiety, depression, or your cancer treatment. Use these tips to improve your rest:
Keep a regular bedtime schedule.
Use your bed only for sleeping, not watching TV or working on your computer.
If you don't fall asleep within 15 minutes, get up, do something else, and try again later.
Avoid stimulants such as caffeine and tobacco, especially close to bedtime.
Don't eat, drink fluids, or exercise close to your bedtime.
Avoid long naps during the day since this can interfere with your ability to sleep at night.
Surgery for vulvar cancer usually does not involve removal of the ovaries. Radiation treatment and some types of chemotherapy can damage the ovaries or cause menopausal symptoms in women who've not yet reached menopause. They include symptoms, such as hot flashes, vaginal dryness, mood swings, and weight changes. If you were premenopausal, periods may become irregular or may stop, and you may not be able to get pregnant. But some women may still be able to get pregnant after treatment:
If needed, talk with your doctor about birth control before treatment begins.
Talk with your doctor about ways to manage menopausal symptoms, such as using lubricants for vaginal dryness, exercising, and talking with a therapist about mood swings or signs of depression.
Report any unusual bleeding to your doctor.
Continue with regular pelvic exams.
Also see tips for Hot Flashes and Vaginal Dryness.
It's normal to have emotional changes, both during and after cancer treatment. Even if cancer treatment is successful, many people experience fears about what the future holds. Talk with your doctor or nurse about ways to manage these changes and consider these tips as well:
Be as open as you can with loved ones about your fears.
Remember that exercise, sleeping, and eating well can greatly influence your mood for the better.
Get a referral to a psychiatrist, psychologist, or other counselor.
Look into cancer support groups.
If your symptoms are severe, ask your doctor whether any medicines might help.
Some types of chemotherapy may cause mouth sores and dryness. Mouth sores may hurt and make it hard to eat. Chronic dryness can impair your ability to taste, chew, and even speak.
To prevent sores or to treat dryness in your mouth, take these actions:
Gently brush your teeth after meals and before bedtime. Floss every day if your doctor says it's OK to do so.
Keep your mouth and lips clean and moist. Lip salves may help.
Suck on sugar-free candies or chew sugar-free gum to increase moisture in your mouth.
Sip water frequently.
Eat soft and pureed foods that are easier to swallow.
To ease the pain if you get sores in your mouth, take these actions:
Avoid alcohol and mouthwashes containing alcohol because they may irritate the sores.
Avoid hot, rough, or spicy foods because they may irritate the sores.
Avoid tobacco because it may irritate sores.
Ask your doctor about topical mouth medicines.
Take over-the-counter pain medicines such as acetaminophen, if your doctor or nurse says it's OK to do so.
Call your doctor or nurse if your temperature reaches 100.5° F (38° C) or higher.
Nausea or vomiting as a result of chemotherapy and radiation treatment for vulvar cancer may range from barely noticeable to severe. It may help you to understand the different types of nausea:
Acute-onset nausea and vomiting occurs within a few minutes to several hours after chemotherapy. The worst episodes tend to be 5 to 6 hours after treatment, and the symptoms end within the first 24 hours.
Delayed-onset vomiting develops more than 24 hours after treatment.
Anticipatory nausea and vomiting are learned from previous experiences with vomiting. As you prepare for the next dose of chemotherapy, you may anticipate that nausea and vomiting will occur as it did previously, which triggers the actual reflex.
Breakthrough vomiting means vomiting occurs despite treatment to prevent it. It requires other types of treatment.
Refractory vomiting occurs after taking one or more antinausea treatments. Essentially, you're no longer responding to antinausea treatments.
To prevent nausea, take these actions:
Ask your doctor about getting a prescription medicine to control nausea and vomiting. Then, make sure you take it as directed. If you are vomiting and cannot take the medicine, call your doctor or nurse.
If you have bothersome nausea and vomiting even though you are taking your medicine, call your doctor or nurse. Your medicine may be changed or a new medicine may be added.
To help ease nausea or vomiting if you have it, try these tips:
Try eating foods and drinking beverages that were easy to take or made you feel better when you had the flu or were nauseated from stress. These might be bland foods, sour candy, pickles, dry crackers, ginger ale, flat soda, or others.
Drink 6 to 8 glasses of liquids a day to avoid dehydration. Liquids include water, broth, or electrolyte solutions.
Do not eat fatty or fried foods, very spicy foods, or very sweet foods.
Eat foods that are at room temperature or cold. The smells from hot foods may make your nausea worse.
Ask your doctor or nurse if he or she can help you learn a relaxation exercise. This may make you feel less anxious and more in control, and decrease your nausea.
Ask your doctor or nurse about using acupressure bands on your wrists, which may help decrease your nausea.
You may have pain following surgery. Try these tips to ease pain:
Over-the-counter pain medicine can help with mild to moderate pain in many parts of your body.
Take your pain medicines regularly and don't wait for your pain to become severe. (Take steps to avoid constipation, a common side effect of pain medicines.)
Change your activity level. See if you feel better if you rest more or move around more.
Distract yourself with music, funny videos, or computer games.
Use heat, cold, or relaxation techniques, such as yoga, meditation, or guided visualization. Ask your doctor or nurse where you can learn more about these.
Call your doctor or nurse if you are having trouble with pain control.
Feelings of depression from having cancer, having all or part of your vulva removed or radiated, or fatigue from other treatments can have a negative impact on your sexual desires. Some women may have a negative body image after radical vulvectomy. After radiation therapy, a woman might find that her vulva has changed and her vagina is narrower and less flexible. Sexual intercourse may be difficult or painful because the vulvar skin in the treated area can be sensitive.
Here are some ways to cope so that you can better focus on your physical recovery:
Ask your doctor or nurse about maintaining or resuming sexual activity.
Include your partner in discussions.
Remember that the cancer is not contagious, and that being intimate will not stimulate it to come back or grow.
Share your feelings and fears with your partner, who is also affected by your cancer.
Explore different ways of expressing love (hugging and holding, stroking and caressing, talking).
Choose a time when you and your partner are rested and free from distractions.
Create a romantic mood.
Explore other sexual positions and alternative forms of sexual expression with your partner. Discuss your options with your doctor or nurse.
Use lubricants liberally if vaginal dryness or tightness makes intercourse painful or difficult.
Counseling with a sex therapist may be helpful.
Radiation treatment of the vulvar skin may produce a reaction similar to sunburn. Chemotherapy applied as an ointment may also irritate skin. Ask your radiation oncologist or radiation oncology nurse about a skin cream to provide relief.
If your doctor removes lymph nodes from your groin, you may have swelling in your legs or vulva. This is more likely if you also have radiation therapy to this area. Swelling may occur right after surgery, or it may happen later. It is caused when excess lymph collects in tissue. Swelling can also lead to pain and fatigue.
To reduce your risk of swelling or to reduce swelling, take these actions:
Wear support stockings or special compression devices.
Clean the skin of your legs daily and use moisturizing lotion.
Do not use elastic bandages with tight bands.
Do not sit in one position for more than 30 minutes.
Watch for signs of infection, such as redness, pain, heat, swelling, and fever. Call the doctor immediately if any of these signs or symptoms appears.
Do your prescribed exercises regularly. If you have swelling, keep your affected leg raised above the level of your heart, when possible.
Keep regular follow-up appointments with your doctor.
You may need to see a physical therapist with expertise in the management of lymphedema.
To avoid injury and infection in your legs, take these precautions:
Try not to cut or tear toenail cuticles.
Use sunscreen.
Clean cuts with soap and water, and then use antibacterial ointment.
Use gauze wrapping instead of tape. Do not wrap so tightly that circulation is cut off.
Talk with your doctor or nurse about any rashes.
Avoid extreme hot or cold such as ice packs or heating pads.
Do not overwork the affected leg.
You may have mild problems with concentration and memory during and after treatment. Fatigue and stress can make it worse. Taking these actions may help:
Make lists and write down important information.
Use other tools to help organize your life, such as calendars, pill dispensers, or alarm clocks.
Ask your doctor about nutritional supplements that may help with memory.
Tiredness is a very common symptom and side effect from chemotherapy and radiation treatments. It is also a symptom of anemia, which is a low red blood cell count as noted from blood tests. Or it can be caused from a vitamin B12 or iron deficiency, which your doctor may also find in a blood test. Whatever the cause, you may feel only slightly tired or you may suffer from extreme fatigue.
Taking these actions may help increase your energy level:
Take short rests when you feel tired. Avoid long naps during the day so that you can sleep well at night.
Add mild exercise, such as walking, to your daily routine. It may help you sleep better.
Save your energy for important tasks.
Drink plenty of fluids. Dehydration leads to increased fatigue.
Take action to treat a poor appetite, because eating improperly can make you tired.
If your fatigue is severe or chronic, ask for help with routine tasks that can drain your energy, such as grocery shopping or housework. Some people reduce their hours at work.
You may have problems with urination following radiation therapy. This could lead to bladder spasms and frequent, urgent, or burning urination:
Ask your doctor about prescription medicine to prevent spasms.
Drink more liquids during treatment.
If you have a hysterectomy, vaginal dryness may result. Lowered estrogen levels may also cause women to have vaginal thinning and difficult or painful intercourse. Lubricants can help with some of these problems. Vaginal infections may also occur more often. When you talk with your doctor about these problems, make sure he or she knows you've had cancer. Try these methods to ease symptoms:
Use over-the-counter vaginal moisturizers.
Before sexual activity, use water-soluble lubricants.
Apply vitamin E oil to the area to ease irritation and burning.
Ask your doctor about products that may help replace estrogen vaginally.
See your gynecologist about any vaginal discharge or other symptoms that do not go away.
Some women experience slow healing or other problems at the site of surgery:
Make sure your doctor and nurse review with you how you should take care of your wound.
Take regular sitz baths. Be sure to dry your vulva well afterward. You can do this by using the cool setting on a blow dryer.
After urinating or having a bowel movement, clean your vulva with warm water. You can do this by squeezing water onto your vulva with a plastic squeeze bottle. Again, dry thoroughly by gently patting or using a blow dryer.
Try to avoid sitting for long periods.
Call your doctor or nurse if there is drainage that changes in odor, amount, or color, or if you have any fever.
Ask to see a wound specialist (enterostomal therapist) if you have any wound healing problems.

Suggested Use
Infuse for at least 5 minutes in freshly boiled water that has been allowed to cool a little.
100% organically grown and ethically sourced.
Licorice root (25%), cocoa bean, roasted chicory root, cardamom seed, cinnamon bark (15%), fennel seed.
This is my defenite favourite. I love the combination licorice/cinnamon. A little like the sweet licorice from yogi tea, but a little sweeter. Yum!
This one is my favourite pukka tea. It tastes more chocolate than licorice, but for those who like it (most of us i guess) that's not necessary a bad thing. I tries several pukka teas, but i always find myself drinking this one... also.. if you're on a diet, it's a lifesaver as it tastes sweet.
A lovely tea
Posted by 5345294646809813017 on Jul 01, 2015
The combination of licorice and cinnamon is a winner! I've tried a different brand (which didn't have the cinnamon)and the addition of the cinnamon makes such a difference. I'm a relative newcomer to herbal teas, but this is definitely a favourite.
Taste a lot of cinnamon
Posted by 4756213167339460021 on Jun 17, 2015

this tea was good. I was expecting it to be more intense in the flavor. It is good but not knocking me off my feet good, like Yerba Mate Mint.

Rated 4.5 out of 5 by 15 reviewers.
Rated 5 out of 5 by ATLExec Quick, Easy, Quality Product with Many Uses! I have become addicted to loose leaf teas lately and wanted to find an electric water kettle to speed up the process. I was hesitant to buy a dedicated appliance just for my tea, but was intrigued by the other reviews that said they use the kettle for other tasks as well. WOW! It has been such a big help in the kitchen. I have used it for tea, to cook noodles, descale/prime my espresso machine, clean the grease traps in the stove hood, and unclog a sink. I have been surprised how often I end up using it and now consider it an integral part of my kitchen. The kettle is easy to use, quick to boil, and looks attractive enough to leave out all the time. I might retire my gas top kettle completely. July 26, 2014
Rated 5 out of 5 by jojomoon This product is fast. I love how fast the water gets hot, and the automatic off feature. I recommend it highly. January 17, 2014
Rated 5 out of 5 by Icicle853 Use for more than just tea Originally received this as a gift and thought I would not use it for much, but it is very much a daily use item in my kitchen. I love to use it to get water boiling for noodles since it gets it hot so quickly. I have had mine for about four years now and love it! December 21, 2013
Rated 5 out of 5 by Jacqui Love the Capresso.....wonderful! Love the look and the quick boiling of water January 23, 2011
Rated 5 out of 5 by World Shopper Love this kettle! I received this kettle as a gift and I can't say enough nice things about it! I love it! It beats waiting for water to boil on the stove or in the microwave any day. It looks lovely on the counter and the cord (that is plenty long) wraps under the base for storage. Do yourself a favor and buy this product for the ease of use and price point! It has totally enhanced my tea and French press coffee experiences! January 16, 2011
Rated 5 out of 5 by Bee Elegance Meets Efficiency I first saw this kettle in a friend's home and gushed so embarrassingly over it that it should be no surprise that they gave me one for my birthday the following month. I am captivated by EVERYTHING with this kettle: the sleek design, the Fool-Proof Auto shut off switch; the fascination of watching the bubbles form; the speed that it heats up. We use ours 10+ times per day in our 5 person household. I agree about the cord; I was shocked when I first found it 2" long, then flipped over the base and found the rest of the cord. I'd buy this again in a heartbeat or buy it as a gift for any number of friends. BEST electric kettle out there and coming from Scotland, that says a lot, as we live or die by our electric kettles! LOL May 5, 2010
Rated 5 out of 5 by Bellamuzic my favorite electric kettle I love this kettle and use it every day. I've also given one as a gift and they love it and are now daily tea drinkers. It's not only functional, but a pretty kettle to leave out on your counter. I noticed someone wrote about the cord being too short and I wonder if they unwrapped the cord from under the base? It's at least a foot long, but you can adjust it under the base so you don't have a long cord cluttering up your counter. March 3, 2010
Rated 5 out of 5 by KnowCommonSense Best Tea Kettle in Existence This is the best tea kettle that money can buy. Everyone in my house loves it and everyone who visits/uses it wants to get their own. I feel bad for the person who returned the kettle b/c the cord was too short--one great feature of this kettle is that the extra length of cord wraps around the bottom and is hidden under the base of the kettle. You can adjust the cord to your desired length. I'm sure that Del Rio just needed to unwind the cord and it would have worked anywhere in his/her 6 room house. February 26, 2010

Upended: Ricky Ponting is bowled by Jacques Kallis in the Second Test against South Africa. Photo: Getty Images
Ricky Ponting has announced that tomorrow's Perth Test against South Africa, his 168th, will be his last, after an illustrious 17-year career.
A media conference is imminent in Perth, with the former captain's retirement expected to be discussed.
After making 4 and 16 in Adelaide, and a duck in Brisbane, Ponting's dream of surviving to play against England in upcoming Ashes series appeared doomed.
The imposing right-hander overcame a similar lean patch to record a vintage summer last season, scoring 544 runs at 108, including a century in Sydney and a double century in Adelaide.
Ponting started the domestic season in blazing form, but failed to counter the new ball when confronted with the world's best pace attack.
Ponting made his Test debut at Perth in 1995 against Sri Lanka, making 96. It was an apt start to what became one of the most successful Test careers in Australian cricket history.
Ponting has averaged 52.21, scoring 41 centuries and 62 50s.

Windows Speech Recognition makes using a keyboard and mouse optional. You can control your PC with your voice and dictate text instead.
Speech Recognition is only available for the following languages:
English (United States and United Kingdom), French, German, Japanese, Mandarin (Chinese Simplified and Chinese Traditional), and Spanish.
There are a few steps you need to take before you can start using Speech Recognition. First, you'll need to set up a microphone. Then, you can train your PC to recognize your voice.
Before you set up Speech Recognition, make sure you've plugged the microphone into your PC so the following steps work.
Swipe in from the right edge of the screen, and then tap Search.(If you're using a mouse, point to the lower-right corner of the screen, move the mouse pointer up, and then click Search.)
Enter Set up a microphone in the search box, and then tap or click Set up a microphone.
Follow the instructions on the screen.
If possible, use a headset microphone; it's less likely to pick up background noise.
Speech Recognition uses a special voice profile to recognize your voice and spoken commands. The more you use Speech Recognition, the more detailed your voice profile becomes—and that should improve your PC's ability to understand you.
Enter Speech Recognition in the search box, and then tap or click Speech Recognition.
Tap or click Train your computer to better understand you.
Follow the instructions in the Speech Recognition Voice Training.
You can use your voice for many tasks, such as filling out online forms or typing letters. When you speak into the microphone, Speech Recognition transforms your voice into text on the screen.
Enter speech recognition in the search box, and then tap or click Windows Speech Recognition.
Say "start listening," or tap or click the microphone button to start the listening mode.
Open the app you want to use, or select the text box you want to dictate text into.
Say the text you want to dictate.
You can correct mistakes in three different ways:
To correct the last thing you said, say "correct that."
To correct a single word, say "correct" followed by the word that you want to correct. If the word appears more than once, all instances will be highlighted, and you can choose the one you want to correct.
In the Alternates panel dialog box, say the number next to the item you want, and then say "OK."
Using the Speech Dictionary, you can add your own words, stop a specific word from being dictated, or correct or delete a word in the dictionary.
Say "open Speech Dictionary" and do any of the following:
To add a word to the dictionary, say "Add a new word," and then follow the instructions.
To prevent a specific word from being dictated, say "Prevent a word from being dictated," and then follow the instructions.
You can use simple, short commands to control your PC. The following table shows some of the most commonly used Speech Recognition commands. Words in bold indicate that you can replace the example word or phrase with similar words and get useful results.
You can also keyboard shortcuts as verbal commands to control your PC. To view all of the available shortcuts, see Keyboard shortcuts.

ATLANTA — April 21, 2011— Arthur M. Blank, co-founder of The Home Depot and owner of the Atlanta Falcons, announced a $3 million gift through The Arthur M. Blank Family Foundation to honor his wife Stephanie Blank's support of the Child Protection Center at Children's Healthcare of Atlanta and her service on the Children's Foundation Board of Trustees. The Child Protection Center will now be named The Stephanie V. Blank Center for Safe and Healthy Children.
"I am humbled that Arthur and our family selected child protective services," said Stephanie V. Blank, Children's Trustee. "The Child Protection Center was the first place at Children's I toured more than a decade ago, even before I joined the Foundation Board. When I learned about the care and hope the Center and its staff provide to these vulnerable children, I was committed instantly to supporting the program."
Recognized at a state and national level as a child advocacy center for child abuse and neglect, The Stephanie V. Blank Center for Safe and Healthy Children promotes the safety and well-being of children through community advocacy and the identification, assessment and prevention of child abuse. The center provides services in a safe, child-friendly environment by a team of professionals with extensive pediatric experience.
"Protection against child abuse, neglect and maltreatment are areas of personal interest and passion for my wife, as well as concerns of our Family Foundation," said Blank, who chairs The Arthur M. Blank Family Foundation. "Stephanie has always been a strong advocate for underserved children. In honoring her 12 years of service to Children's Healthcare of Atlanta—the last five as Board Chair of the Children's Foundation—we want to make a difference in an area about which Stephanie cares deeply."
"I can think of no better way for Stephanie's family to honor her and her personal advocacy on behalf of all of Georgia's children," added Douglas J. Hertz, Chairman, Children's Healthcare of Atlanta Board of Trustees. "Stephanie's continuing service to Children's and her passion for the well being of all children in our community are invaluable. She is truly deserving of this recognition."
"Every 15 minutes in Georgia there is a new confirmed victim of child abuse or neglect. It's estimated that one in four girls and one in six boys are sexually abused before their 18th birthday," said Jordan Greenbaum, M.D., medical director of The Stephanie V. Blank Center for Safe and Healthy Children. "Children's is elated that Mrs. Blank and The Arthur M. Blank Family Foundation have taken the lead to help our efforts to provide high quality services to victimized children."
Blank family members also shared plans for two additional grants during a tour of Children's Healthcare of Atlanta at Egleston. The Family Foundation is donating $150,000 to create a transition patient room in The Children's Healthcare of Atlanta Sibley Heart Center. Designed to resemble the home environment, the room will be used by families close to discharge who need time in a less clinical setting to ensure they are prepared to care for their children once they return home. A third grant will enable Children's to purchase a GlideScope Video Laryngoscope, used for very difficult pediatric intubations. The scope has a small camera to help guide the caregiver by projecting a close-up picture of even the smallest of airways, increasing the chance of a successful intubation and decreasing stress on child and family.
The foundation's recently announced grants follow a prior $5 million commitment to One to Grow On: The Campaign for Children's Healthcare of Atlanta in support of child protection, government affairs and Children's Healthcare of Atlanta at Hughes Spalding.

All of us, not just the unlucky or disadvantaged, rely on the fragile human apparatus of sight for survival. Any change, great or small, can reconfigure a life.
Jasmine Carrero, along with sons Timothy, 11, and Travis, 9, have Stickler syndrome, a genetic abnormality that is stealing their sight. They are awaiting tests to find out whether baby sister Lillian, now 5 months, must cope with this syndrome as well.
Meanwhile, Cynthia Gibbs-Pratt, 47, who works as a food stamp eligibility specialist, had 20/20 vision for most of her life. Suddenly progressive macular degeneration began robbing her of her sight. Her husband left her. Now alone, she fears using a cane because it would announce to those roaming the dangerous streets where she lives that she is defenseless.
Fortunately, Catholic Charities came to their aid.

Rated 4.5 out of 5 by 2 reviewers.
Rated 5 out of 5 by Bentobloggy Gorgeous for nursery I purchased this rug in the 5' round version, sight-unseen. I was very nervous. I needn't have been - it's gorgeous. It's silky-soft where all the colored animals and insects are, and beautifully looped in the beige background areas. It looks amazing in my baby's nursery. The size is also perfect for her larger room. Don't hesitate to buy this rug! It also came remarkably quickly in the mail. July 5, 2013
Rated 4 out of 5 by SparklyVic96 Lovely soft rug Great rug for my 2 year old daughter's room. The ladybugs, dragonflies etc are picked out in soft wool. The colours are beautifully subtle. She loves jumoing between the different insects as I call out the names. This soft, well made rug was just what I was after for her room. April 11, 2013

I'm fairly certain that 95% of sitcoms have done an "SAT Freak Out" episode in which a character has a dream that he/she shows up to the test wearing nothing but a potato sack. I can tell you right now that your pencils won't spontaneously combust, the proctor won't morph into a unicorn, and you won't end up living in a box if you do poorly.
What our favorite sitcoms fail to emphasize is that college entrance exams like the SAT and ACT are not the end-all-be-all. You can re-take exams and the concepts aren't nearly as intimidating as they seem.
With all that said, here are the basics on the college entrance exams, the SAT, SAT Subject Tests and the ACT.
SAT Reasoning Test
The SAT Reasoning Test is a standardized exam designed to measure students' critical thinking and analysis skills. It's also believed to be a strong predictor of a student's ability to perform at the college level. Individuals typically take it their junior and senior years of high school and it's administered 7 times a year in the US. The test is comprised of 10 sections and the total testing time is 3 hours and 45 minutes. The main areas tested are reading, writing, and mathematics. You receive a score between 200 and 800 for each of those areas. There are also two sub-scores for the writing section.
