Now using Bandcamp
Metro, who started the label Ortem this year, demonstrates how to use repetition in Drum and Bass in a non-mechanical way. The opening track loops the word "London" through out most of the five minutes, allowing the sound to become an atmospheric or rhythmic element. Most of the energy is in large bass notes.
Box focuses on three large bass kicks and one low pitched, echoing synth. An abrasive, inharmonic sound grows in strength before resetting the track to the original few elements. Spoon and MHC introduce break beats and even vocal shots. These elements are weaved into the unconventional drums hits and percussion sticking closely to the feel of the other tracks.
The title track, Thursday, reveals Metro's use of sampling in a raw way. Dusty vinyl and noise from ungrounded or bad wiring are forward in the mix.
Putting a Glass AwayNic TVG :: This Sloth Is Giant
Putting a Glass Away begins with manipulated piano samples as inharmonic drones swell up and lead into a sustained harmony. The main focus is on a jazz beat with a few syncopated glitches. The mood is lightened by a couple hints to classic Drum and Bass.
Las Lalalas was reworked to move the emphasis to the vocals and a sparser drum break. Longest, Shortest Path is nostalgic of early atmospheric Drum and Bass by starting with rich pads and a looping two bar, Amen pattern.
The extended intro of Local Kale Hummus is the result of violin bows played on objects and then layered to create the drones, thuds, and screeches.
SceneK-Chaos :: Eschaton
Looking Glass, like an early Jungle track, switches between 4/4 kicks and classic breaks. The sustained synths range from low, murky bass to cheerful atmospherics.
Scene also feels fast with synthetic percussion and a steppy rhythm. Under the beats are growling noise and swells of bass. Sound effects are mostly adding to percussion and only rarely used as harmony. Eschaton's remix of Scene replaces the synthetic percussion with an aggressive, distorted break beat. In place of the low noise is tight successions of sub bass notes. The second half brings out more harmonies before going back into just drums and sub.
Cordani and Nic TVG - Woods (Martsman Version)
Snaper - Pod / Nic TVG - 09_13_2012
Martsman takes on a sample collage from Cordani and Nic TVG. Field recordings are granulated into rhythmic droning pads while the main drums have a distant feel to them like a recording from a live event. Harmony is filtered in as long notes which transition into a play on repetition.
Snaper's Pod, from his solo EP Grey Line, emphasizes a rhythmic bassline loud in the mix and a light break with shuffles or slightly quieter snares filling the down beats.
Nic TVG's 09_13_2012 (Vinyl Take) has been updated with steadier intro and long outro.
Artwork by Cordani.
Phuture-T - Ominous Maze
Earl Grey - Without Purpose
Phuture-T opens with Ominous Maze giving equal space to breaks and a bass assembled from an overdriven contrabass clarinet. Excerpts of piano, sax, and inharmonic tones are worked around filtered out drums and change-ups.
Earl Grey brings the series back to Drum and Bass staples like Soul Pride, Amen, Think, and bright atmospheric vibes. This playful end is energetic and the breaks are heavily chopped letting sub fill in.
Artwork by Cordani.
A Third Sun
Various Artists
A Third Sun continues the style set up by Down the Sun and Up the Stream with brassy sounding drums, minimal and sustained notes with occasional hints to jazz influence.
Phuture-T opens with Ominous Maze a unique track blending broken beats and contrabass clarinet. Dave Hoax's Man from Another Planet starts with a sustained note and a muted Soul Pride break before releasing into layered breaks.
Martsman takes on a sample collage from Cordani and Nic TVG. Field recordings are granulated into rhythmic droning pads. Dam Nation's The Third Man has a bizarre timbre where snares mimic loose metal sticks.
Earl Grey brings the series back to Drum and Bass staples like Soul Pride, Amen, Think, and bright atmospheric vibes.
ExtrasNic TVG :: Cordani
Extras is a two track compilation of material which was originally not meant for release.
The Moth is Compliant combines records my wife pulled off my shelf at random with live violin bow on guitar. The result is a disjointed mix of breaks, lo-fi noise, and percussion that leads out in an uplifting tone.
Woods began as a collaboration with Cordani. His heavily manipulated field recordings contained enough details that we worked out a second version which was kept sparse to emphasize the unique composition. Most of the drum editing was done on my laptop from a New Orleans laundromat.
Form Without LinesDYL :: Dot Product :: Sloth of the Jungle :: Indidjinous :: Parallel :: Nic TVG :: K-Chaos
Form Without Lines revisits a reoccurring idea on Pinecone Moonshine by combining Drone with Drum and Bass in way that percussion is interrupted or de-emphasized.
The EP starts with a distinctly Indidjinous piece where his synths oscillate as if they are vibrating in a mechanical system. Next Parallel emphasizes a single breakbeat in A Dark Abyss. Ambients are more noise than tones and quite low in the mix. In DYL's Horus Eye, percussion between the downbeat is splintered with clicks and slight hints of Drum and Bass patterns that have been almost hidden in the mix. Subs and tones result from densely manipulated granular snippets of audio.
K-Chaos uses the jazz double bass samples from Brief and a modulating synth to set the rhythm. Percussion is sparse and a bit unpredictable where and when it is triggered. Delay Technique returns to more familiar Drum and Bass themes with chopped and delayed Amen break samples.

Transportation & Logistics
Logistics is considered to be the backbone of most of the industries in any Economy. This sector has a large number of unorganized players and approximately 80% of the revenues are generated by these players. This industry has been undergoing transformation consistently over the last few years due to evolution of 3PL/ 4PL service providers. Moreover, logistics is becoming more critical to organizations as improved concepts such as Just-In-Time, Flexible Operations, Total Quality Management, etc are implemented. Further, it provides huge opportunities for cost savings with more professional and systematic approach. This sector has witnessed entry of few international players who have brought in these aspects while providing services to the customers. However, the challenge before Global giants would be to replicate the best practices used globally however with a customization with the local business environment. Similarly, the local players would have to revamp their processes and technology to match up with Global competition if they were to grow and provide value added services to customers.
We at ANB take keen interest in understanding this domain end to end and come out with customized offerings for our clients. With the increase in competition, Technology and Processes would be the unique differentiating factor for Logistics players which would result in definite cost savings. The extensive focus of ANB on understanding Technology and Processes would help us add value to the organization.

By Dr. Bill Miller (USAEC Entomologist)April 7, 2014
Not many people like bugs or rats or weeds. Humans have always dealt with pests .... in their food, in their clothing, on their animals and on themselves. Egyptian mummies had lice attached to hair follicles. For some, "Bed Bugs" can make their skin crawl. Unfortunately, pests are part of Army life for Soldiers, their families and Army civilians. The Army's Integrated Pest Management Program uses more than just chemicals to control pests. If we compare the Army IPM program to a visit to the doctor's office, the intent of integrated pest management becomes more evident.
You go to your family physician with a complaint. The physician examines you and proscribes a treatment. Once treated, the doctor asks you to call if the symptoms reoccur. Let's take the same idea, except consider your house the patient.
You wake up to get coffee and find cockroaches crawling across the floor. You call for pest control; the technician arrives and sees the cockroach. For IPM, this is pest surveillance. Just like your physician conducts his or her examination, the IPM technician does the same. The IPM technician identifies the pest, the American Cockroach (Periplenata americana) and knows the species is normally found outdoors, or in sewer or steam lines. The technician looks under your sink and finds a hole that connects to the sewer lines.
Rather than spraying, the technician alerts maintenance to repair the pipe. For a temporary fix, the technician tapes the hole to keep the roaches out without using chemicals. Using fewer pesticides is one of the Army's and DoD's goals.
Knowledge of the pest's biology helps the technician identify and fix the problem. If the technician only used chemicals, they symptom would have been treated (cockroaches), without fixing the problem (leaking pipe). Once fixed, a return visit determines if the problem is solved. For the occupant, all is well -- no more cockroaches.
But it's not just in office buildings, housing and lodging that the Army wants to minimize the threat from pests, it's also in the field, where missions can be impacted. The Army has a kind of tool box it uses to help with pest problems.
All pests look for three things: food, shelter and water. Modern pest control prevents or eliminates access to these things. Our IPM tool box has several drawers. The first is biological, simply put, bug wars. If you buy lady bugs for aphids on plants, that's biological control. Next are the mechanical items, such as rat snap trap or bottle traps for fruit flies. For IPM, window screens are a mechanical control device; they let the fresh breeze in and keep the bugs out. Physical control is the third drawer. Using extreme heat to control bed bugs is one of the tools that can be found in this drawer.
Regulations provide a legal means to control pest species. Think of the damage that could occur if a pest species crosses our borders. That's one reason why Soldiers take the time to keep their equipment clean before it's moved. It's a requirement for international transit of material. But the real goal is to keep the pest in its home country and out of the U.S. This also means keeping our pests at home and not sending them to another country. Some pests are very invasive; they arrive in our country from another country or habitat and immediately disrupt the natural environment. Some examples are fire ants (Solenopsis invicta) or the Asian tiger mosquito (Aedes albopictus); both came to our shores on ships and cargo.
Making it harder to find food, shelter and water is cultural control. A simple control for ants and roaches is to keep the counters clean. If you don't, you may find the counter full of bugs when you wake up. Remember: if you keep the bugs from food, shelter and water, they'll go somewhere else. Chemical control, the thing most ask for when seeking cockroach control, should be a last resort. Chemicals can be an effective tool to use, but think of them as a means to reduce pest populations so other IPM tools can be more beneficial.
Let's go back to the doctor's office, there's problem diagnosis, an examination and treatment, resulting in a cure. For our Army pest controllers, they identify the problem and use the IPM tool box to solve the problem. IPM means controlling pests with less toxic measures or by more cost-effective means, or working to cure the problem and not just putting a band-aid on it. IPM saves dollars and makes sense!

Private Equity's Advice for Secretary of Energy Nominee Ernest Moniz
Last month, President Obama nominated Massachusetts Institute of Technology professor Ernest Moniz to be the next U.S. Secretary of Energy.
On Friday, a panel of private equity investors in the energy patch speaking at a private equity conference produced by MIT's Sloan School of Management had some words of advice.
Chris Manning, a partner in charge of energy investments at New York-based midmarket buyout firm Trilantic Capital Partners, urged the new energy secretary to reach out to other governmental agencies, such as the U.S. Department of Interior or the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency, as he seeks to shape U.S. energy policy.
"I think there are a lot of cooks in the kitchen," said Manning. "What I would suggest is that he invite those people to lunch and start developing relationships, so he can start understanding what their concerns are [and then] develop a policy. I don't think there's anyone on this panel that can eloquently describe what our national [energy] policy is."
Rahul Advani, principal, Energy Capital Partners, a Houston-based firm that invests in energy infrastructure, recommended that the new energy secretary proceed with caution in lifting the current moratorium on the export of U.S. natural gas.
"I think gas and the discovery [of new deposits] and what it means to energy prices here potentially is going to give us an advantage over every other nation," Mr. Advani said.
Meanwhile, Erich Horsley, partner at Intervale Capital, a Cambridge, Mass-based investor in oilfield services companies, advocated greater investment in "natural gas infrastructure", such as public transportation, to help focus the country's resources on using natural gas, which remains much cheaper than oil.
"They've moved toward that, but it's taken them years," Horsley said.

2008 News Releases
2006 Longwood graduate wins national talent contest, performs on A Prairie Home Companion
April 10, 2008
A 2006 Longwood University graduate recently won a national talent contest in which she performed during a broadcast of the weekly public radio program A Prairie Home Companion.
Laura Wortman of Scottsville is one half of the Honey Dewdrops, which captured first place in the annual "People in Their Twenties Talent Show," in which six musical acts were selected from nearly 1,000 entries across the country. Those musicians (three soloists and three duos) performed during the March 15 show – broadcast live to a nationwide audience – from the stage of the program's home at the Fitzgerald Theater in St. Paul, Minn. The duo's other half is Wortman's fiance, Kagey Parrish, who also plays acoustic guitar and sings.
"We played in front of 1,000 people in the audience, and 4.3 million people listen to the show on the radio across the country," said Wortman, a special education teaching assistant at Scottsville Elementary. "We performed two songs, Miner's Prayer, a Dwight Yoakam song, and Long Black Veil, which was popularized by Johnny Cash. After all the entertainers have performed, the people in the Fitzgerald Theater vote by ballot for their favorite entertainer, and the radio listeners can vote by the Internet within 30 minutes. As the first place winners, we received $1,000 and the silver water tower trophy, a gag gift also known as the 'Woebegon Idol,' which is also given to the second and third place winners."
Wortman and Parrish (whose first name is pronounced Keggy) were flown to St. Paul by the show, arriving Friday, March 14. "They put us up in a hotel and paid for all our meals," she said. "We rehearsed pretty much all day Friday, we met Garrison Keillor (the show's founder and host), and we did a show that evening in front of an audience at the Fitzgerald Theater, but it wasn't broadcast. Saturday we rehearsed again. Everything runs smoothly; they get you on (stage) and off pretty quickly."
She and Parrish, a special education teacher at Charlottesville High School, learned of the People in their Twenties Talent Show in January. The show started around 1997 and originally was for musicians from towns of under 2,000. At one time it was for people between the ages of 12 and 20. Last year was the first time it was for people in their 20s.
"You can enter by sending your MySpace page link or a CD or tape of your music," Wortman said. "Kagey and I sent in our MySpace link, which then had two songs but now has more. The show called us in late February and said they had narrowed it down to six finalists, and we were on the finalists, and they would be flying us to St. Paul."
Wortman, who describes the duo's sound as "Americana low-fi folk," said she and her fiance-partner "would like to make music our career." Their MySpace page says they write songs that "link images of a forgotten past with contemporary words."
Wortman, a native of Batesville in Albemarle County, graduated cum laude with a B.F.A. in art (photography concentration) from Longwood. She and Parrish, who will be married Oct. 18, have played together for six years. They met through mutual friends at Hampden-Sydney College when she was attending Longwood and he was at H-SC, from which he graduated in 2004.
What has their appearance on A Prairie Home Companion meant for their career? "Hits are clocked on MySpace, and in three days we went from 2,000 hits to 20,000 hits," she said. "Plus, we've been contacted by some local people to do shows, and we're going to cut an EP record, which we're working on now."
Now in its 34th season, A Prairie Home Companion is heard on 580 public radio stations. The two-hour variety musical show "has made Minnesota's way of life and the fictional small town of Lake Woebegon part of American popular culture," its web site says.

Milwaukee Marquette beats Catholic Memorial in boys volleyball
Mutual respect is why the Milwaukee Marquette and Catholic Memorial boys volleyball teams start their season with a non-conference matchup against each other.
They were at it again Tuesday, and the host Hilltoppers scored a 3-1 victory over the Crusaders.
"We've had some nice battles over the last few years," Marquette coach Eric Sullivan said. "It's always worked out because they have a great program.... It helps us know where we're at. And now we know what we need to work on. And Memorial always brings that out in us. They figure our weaknesses out pretty quick."
Marquette, which has been to the state tournament the previous 11 seasons and is ranked No.1 in the area by the Journal Sentinel, came away with a 25-17, 25-22, 20-25, 25-18 victory.
Joe Coplan, who made second-team all-state last season, led the Hilltoppers with 13 kills. Teammate Will Cotter, one of five returning starters, added 36 assists.
Chandler North had a game-high 15 kills for fifth-ranked Memorial, which has been to state eight of the last 10 seasons but has a new coach, Taylor Braun.
"The beauty of playing Marquette this early is you know that they're always a perennial powerhouse and they'll give us a good match that we need to exploit our weaknesses," said Braun, a former Catholic Memorial player. "It's great to play them because they'll show us what we need to work on."
In Game 4, the score was tied, 10-10, when Marquette pulled away with a 9-3 run. The run was capped by a spike then a service ace by Mark Heinen.
"I think they really exposed our passing," Braun said. "They have a couple of guys in Joe and Mark that can go back and rip jump serves. We don't really have anyone that can simulate that in practice. So it was our early-season passing errors, which will correct itself the more we play."
Marquette scored 10 of the final 12 points in Game 1, including the final six that included points from Coplan on a tip, a block and a spike.
"If you're down 1-0, your back is against the wall," Coplan said. "You've got all the momentum if you win Game 1."
The score was tied, 15-15, in Game 2 when Marquette called timeout after Memorial scored three straight points. The Hilltoppers responded with a 7-3 run. They also used a timeout after the Crusaders scored three points in a row to trim the deficit to 23-22. But Marquette won after a serve and then a spike were hit out of bounds by Memorial.
It looked like Marquette was going to get the sweep by jumping out to a 5-1 lead in Game 3. But an 8-2 run by Memorial, highlighted by three kills from North, gave the Crusaders a 20-14 lead.
"Our three-ball passing was just kind of sloppy, our serve-receive was sloppy and our defense was sloppy," Coplan said. "We were just making errors."

Hundreds of thousands of international fans will now be booking their trips to South Africa for the World Cup which begins on the 11th of June in the city of Johannesburg. The tournament is set to catch the attention of an anticipated 400 million television viewers globally. So as they say in Zulu Language: Ngiyanemukela! Here is a concise low down on a selection of sights visitors can expect when in South Africa.
Cape Town: The vast majority of users from the PR and Travel Company Holiday Check have put forward a strong recommendation to use the hop-on, hop-off red line bus service as a great way of getting around this bustling, modern city. Just like in London, Hong Kong, San Francisco, Dubai and other cities around the world, passengers are free to get on and off as they like in their own time. The ticket for the whole 2 hour tour costs 100 Rand (around £8.5 GBP) and includes discounts for a range of affiliated attractions. For those who have a bit more time on their hands, they can use the opportunity to wander out of town and head to the "Table Mountain" National Park.
Pretoria:Strangely many people think that Cape Town or Johannesburg is the capital city of this Rainbow Country, but no, in actual fact it is Pretoria. The official capital of South Africa has less to offer in terms of sights than Cape Town, hence why it's not mentioned much on the international scene. But the matches that will be played in the city's Loftus Versfeld Stadium will definitely put the capital city on everyones lips. Visitors will be amazed by the city's Voortrekker or Pioneer's Monument- not as dull as it looks in the photos.
Port Elizabeth:Those on their way to see matches at the massive Nelson Mandela Bay Stadium, may like to drop in for a coffee or pre-match drinks at the much celebrated Cafe Brazilia on Humewood Road. The café will sure be busy if Portugal or Brazilare playing at this venue! Port Elizabeth also has some great places to see. For those who want to get a taste of the country's natural treasures should also check out the Tsitsikamma National Park. The park is around 150 miles to the north of the city, however if one has a couple of days to spare then its well worth it. Plenty of photography opportunities' await you!
Bloemfontein:The beauty of this part of the country is that you can go Safari pretty much close to the town centre. Naval Hill doesn't just offer much of a stunning perspective over the provincial capital; but it's a place where the local giraffes and antelopes are likely to hang around, and greet your cameras. Plus the occasional ostrich will come and say hi to you! For some reason this reminds me of TV chef Keith Floyd when around ten ostriches helped themselves to his freshly fried ostrich omelets.
Pietersburg: With the city renowned for being at the highest altitude, at around 4000 feet above sea level; it will prove quite a challenge for players and the crowds. Another city which is popular with a very beautiful and splendid park, the Polokwane Nature Reserve is a local attraction worth checking out for its wealth of local bird life.
Johannesburg: The city's two stadiums will host the opening ceremony (12th May) and the closing ceremony (11th July); and with just under 100,000 spectators the new Soccer City Stadium is going to be packed. There's a fabulous water park to help you cool off; while there are other attractions as well for children and adults. For those looking to gain an insight into the country's formative past one it is highly recommended that one takes a guided tour through the neighboring township of Soweto. Visitors will come across various pieces of evidence and 'the resistance movement that was eventually to overcome apartheid had its roots in Soweto'. Overall, South Africa has so much to offer in addition to playing host to next year's championships. Many people who come to this beautiful and modern country actually find it hard to realize that they are in Africa. Yes, the affluent areas lie alongside the deprived areas, but you have that in most countries around the world. South Africa is a fast growing economy and a great place for tourists to come and enjoy the beauty and lifestyle!
Like I said at the beginning of this article that I am not a die hard football fan, however since it's the world cup, you bet your bottom dollar I'll be on the next flight to Johannesburg to support England any day! :-)

Happy Bruce Day, readers! Springsteen has returned with a new album -- and that really should be cause enough for a national holiday. (And it probably is an official holiday in New Jersey.) "High Hopes," the Boss' 18th studio effort, is good, not great. Yet, it's worth the price of admission to just hear Rage Against the Machine guitarist Tom Morello rip through "The Ghost of Tom Joad." Read my full review here. Also, check out the stream below.

Sugarland singer Jennifer Nettles wants you to hear her new solo effort, "That Girl," which also hit stores today. It's a pretty strong outing for the sensational singer, whose talents were sometimes wasted on some lackluster Sugarland material. Definitely check out her awesome version of Bob Seger's "Like a Rock" and listen to the title track.

Last words: Van Halen's "1984" turned 30 last week. And -- news flash! -- it still stinks.

To record his first of two albums to be released this year as Mount
Eerie, former leader of The Microphones Phil Elverum retreated to a
former catholic church turned studio In his tiny Pacific Northwest
hometown of Anacortes, Washington. Clear Moon, the first album
that has come as a result of that extended session has the unmistakable
quality of an album that was recorded as a personal statement.
Elverum's distinctive half whisper of a singing voice along with the
woozy and strange usage of guitars, synths, horns, strings, and clipped
drums has an odd way of transporting you into Elverum's backyard and
the supposedly gloomy skies of small town Washington. Elverum details
the smaller points in life: buying groceries, trying to get the car to start,
but his poetic voice and barely there vocals make these depictions of
everyday tasks seem more like quiet prayers and somber reminders of
man's mortality. The musical style Elverum has developed is instantly
recognizable as the tracks are beautiful in ways that don't seem obvious,
as in the plodding hum of "Through the Trees pt. 2" and the hushed intimacy
of "The Place I Live". Mount Eerie stretches out as well with the ominous
horns of "Lone Bell", the gnarled drone of "House Shape", and the booming
crunch of "Over Dark Water". The album's centerpiece is its sprawling title
track as a veritable ocean of synth drones washes over the listener while
drums and cymbals crash like waves against the Washington coast line.
Clear Moon is an intimate, honest statement from Phil Elverum's Mount Eerie
that communicates heavy universal themes in a style that feels softly
understated, something Elverum has certainly mastered at this point.
Over the years, I've had to become practically belligerent in justifying why I call certain records folk records. If not to others, at least to myself. By all accounts, this record is equal parts homemade noise, acoustitronic, indie pop, and due to a heavy presence of sitar, it even might fall into that ever-ambiguous, usually irrelevant "world" genre. Which makes it a folk record, if you ask me. Woods teams up with Henry Barnes, a noise forefather of sorts, currently creating as Amps for Christ but formerly a part of Bastard Noise. Barnes' tracks range from the brilliantly technologized to the sublimely ethereal, songs that are less centered on melodies or structure than they are on the sound of the instruments being played. "Roto Koto in C Major" begins as a pretty traditional East-meets-West vamp and hums along for a while, but somewhere around 3:55 heads starting turning into thousands of heads, the river picks up its current and we're washed over the edge of this reality into that of Woods. Which is a pretty chill place. "Sleeper," while a kindred spirit to the sing-along folk pop of their last two records, is decidedly more acoustic, more dream-affected. I imagine Jeremy Earl and friends isolating, chopping and screwing the Victor Herrero Band's percussion tracks before writing this song. "From Oatmeal to Buttermilk" is the only Woods and AFC collaboration here, and in the omniscient, omnipresent sense of the word, it's simply divine. The other Woods tracks are painfully accessible and singable, while "September Saturn" closes out the record with a traditional Woods one-chord, one bassline, 9-minute long vamp. Also, "Lore Bateman" is a Child Ballad, number 53. Traditional, see?
Sacramento's Death Grips are easily one of the stranger acts to emerge from recent influx of DIY hip-hop upstarts. In fact, the duo barely qualifies as hip-hop at all, transcending hardcore, noise, electronica, and of course rap to create a punishingly aggressive style that continues to bludgeon you over the head with its anger and immediacy. On The Money Store, the duo's second LP and first with a record deal, Death Grips refines the blend of proto-rap/electro noise they emerged with on their debut Ex-Military into something a bit more subtle. However, just because Death Grips doesn't explode in a maximalist onslaught on every song doesn't mean they still aren't as pissed off as they were a year ago. Stefan Burnett attack with a flow that sounds more akin to Henry Rollins than any of his modern hip-hop contemporaries, shouting out cryptic punk wisdom in a low bark making someone like Tyler, the Creator sound like Vanilla Ice. Zach Hill crafts wildly unpredictable instrumentals that range from the unrelenting throb of "Get Got" to the percussive Bollywood morph of punk weight, to the pumping dance grooves of "I've Seen Footage" and "Hacker". Burnett and Hill have created a style of music that sounds purely theirs and manage to make it surprisingly palatable while maintaining a definite sense of individuality. There is no one making music like this right now.

Issue No.02 - April-June (1984 vol.6)
pp: 116-138

The paper describes John W. Mauchly's experiences and experiments that led to his concept of an electronic digital computer based on mechanical desk calculators during the years he was teaching at Ursinus College (1933-1941), his interaction with John V. Atanasoff of Iowa State College, and the environment at the Moore School of Electrical Engineering at the University of Pennsylvania that led to the eventual proposal (1943) for building the electronic ENIAC.

comment:1 Changed 10 years ago by adrian
Very cool. I think we'll set up a pastebin on djangoproject.com, and point this patch at it, rather than relying on pastebin.com, because pastebin.com has been flaky lately.

Its worth noting that the source for pastebin.com is GPL and can be obtained from http://pastebin.com/pastebin.tar.gz, however I suspect any tool used on the djangoproject.com site will be developed with Django :p
comment:4 Changed 10 years ago by Marek Kubica
The pastebin at paste.e-scribe.com is in fact written in Python using Django (source available) and highlights all kinds of Django-related code like Python, Python-Transcripts (interactive Python) and Django-templates. Quite nice.

If the patch is ok, why isn't it "Ready for checkin" ?
On the other side, I'd rather place a big box telling that pressing the button you're about to publish your traceback on a public site ;)
comment:7 Changed 9 years ago by adrian
The reason we're waiting on this is because the patch uses pastebin.com, whereas it should use Django's custom pastebin (or maybe dpaste). Django doesn't have a custom pastebin on djangoproject.com, but we might be able to use dpaste.com if Paul B. is willing to commit to maintaining it.

I was this close to committing this, but then I tried it out first. Unfortunately, it's not very visually appealing. On Firefox, at least, the button gets a bit lost in amongst all the traceback text.
We also probably need a short (one sentence?) description of what will happen when you push the button. Something like "this will send the traceback to a public website so you can share it with others. You will have a chance to confirm the paste before it is made public" -- but use better wording. I agree with Marc Fargas that some explanation is probably necessary.
However, making it look less crushed together is the real priority here. We always win "prettiest debug page" at the country fair and adding this would hurt our chances. Apart from that, it's good.

County ME says no truth to rumors about report saying James Harper was shot in back; autopsy report still "weeks" away
As we noted yesterday, the Dallas County Medical Examiners Office has said only that James Harper was shot to death by Dallas Police Officer Brian Rowden on Tuesday; Jeffrey Barnard's office has not yet said where Harper was shot — in the stomach, as Chief David Brown has said, or in the back, as witnesses to the shooting have claimed.
Moments ago Dallas County dispatched the statement below in which the ME's office reiterates its findings so far. Barnard's office also wants to dispel "rumors suggesting that the OME has released information that Mr. Harper received gunshot wounds to his back." There is no such report, says the county, and there won't be for a "few weeks," which is how long the office says it will take to complete evidence of injury and toxicology reports.
Read the whole statement below.

When a publisher of cheap detective novels in Tamil asked Charunivedita if he agreed with him for a cover price of ten rupees for his new novel, the writer didn't flinch. "Please go ahead and print it," he concurred. The result was a book in newsprint that had a print run of 50,000 copies.
"It was bad printing," says Nivedita, who had sold his wife's mangalsutra to publish the same novel on his own two years earlier, but without much success. The cheap edition of Zero Degree came as a blessing in disguise. Not only did it help Charu achieve a huge readership among the masses, it led to better-published translations, first in Malayalam, and now in English.

Defending champion Isaiah Salinda was sitting comfortably in the clubhouse at the Crystal Springs Golf Club in Burlingame, eating his lunch after shooting a 2-under par 70 on Thursday.
That all changed when Oliver Cho, who will be a senior at Pinewood-Los Altos Hills in the fall, matched Salinda's performance to force a playoff in the Crystal Springs Junior tournament.
"It just felt kind of like a match play thing," said Salinda, a senior at Serra-San Mateo. "Just one on one, it's just you and him, so you have to make putts and just play well to beat him."
The winner at the 2012 Central Coast Section championships as a sophomore, Salinda prevailed in the second playoff hole by sinking a par putt, but not before a treacherous first hole for both golfers.
On the par-4, 386-yard hole, Salinda teed off first and hit a tree. The ball found its way to the vegetation and the 17-year-old was forced to take a drop plus a one-stroke penalty.
"I couldn't believe it, just where it ended up," Salinda said. "If I could have played it, it would have been alright. But to have an unplayable lie, it was just unlucky. Can't do anything about it."
Cho didn't fare much better as the 16-year-old sliced his tee shot into the shrubbery to the right of the fairway. After a lengthy search for the ball proved unsuccessful, Cho had to return to the tee box and assess himself a one-stroke penalty.
After barely avoiding the bunker in front of the green, Cho chipped to within 10 feet of the pin and drained the putt to put pressure on Salinda, whose 6-footer drifted wide of the hole.
Both golfers settled for double bogeys.
"I was pretty nervous, this is my first playoff," Cho said. "Obviously off the first tee I didn't have the greatest shot, but I managed to recover and dodged a little bit of a bullet."
Off the second tee, Salinda outdrove Cho by about 35 yards and his second shot landed on the green, while Cho ended up on the fringe. When a putt left Cho about 12 feet away, Salinda two-putted for a par and Cho missed an opportunity to extend the playoff.
"I've been playing here since I was like 7, 8 years old," Salinda said. "From experience, I just know the course really well and I've just been able to play well here."
At 3 under after eight holes, a triple bogey on the ninth hole moved Salinda back to par. He bounced back to make three more birdies on the back nine.
"That was important to get back to under par," Salinda said. "I birdied the last two holes to get myself in this position, so those were big."
Cho made his move after a clutch 45-foot putt to save par on the 12th hole. That sparked a run of consecutive birdies on the 13th, 14th and 15th holes.
"That just really got me going," Cho said. "I was playing a pretty good round and that just set it off and I just started making birdies after birdies."
Finigan Tilly of Redwood Shores tied for third with an even-par 70, making him the winner of the boys 14-15 age group.
Scout McNealy of Portola Valley shot 6 over to tie for second in the boys 12-13 age group, while Katherine Sung of Palo Alto was the runner-up by a stroke in the girls 10-11 age group after carding a 6-over 42.

On Demographers' Minds: Minimum Wage, Millennials, Mexican Migration, Mates
BOSTON—Academics and data-crunchers who climbed down from their ivory towers for this year's Population Association of America conference in Boston are discussing a whole range of demographic topics, from aging, migration and marriage to poverty and urbanization. Here are a few scholarly papers catching our eye. Links to these and many other PAA papers can be found here.
Minimum Cash Wages for Tipped Workers and Poverty. Richard Burkhauser of Cornell University and Joseph Sabia of San Diego State University examine the effects of increases in minimum cash wages—the wages tipped workers like restaurant waiters are mandated to get—on poverty, as well as the effects of minimum wages in general across a business cycle. Using data from Census's Current Population Survey, they "find no evidence that minimum wage increases reduce poverty rates among all individuals, workers, or individuals without a high-school diploma either during times of economic expansion or recession." The researchers say they see little evidence that the minimum wage is well-targeted to those in need, and that increases in minimum cash wages may actually "increase poverty rates of those without a high school diploma."
Millennials and Migration. Census researchers Megan Benetsky and Alison Fields look at how the Great Recession affected the migration rates of different types of Millennials across age and race. They found that while migration rates for both young men and women declined from the years during the recession to the years following the recession, "males had steeper declines in their migration rates across all young ages compared to females." Millennials 18 to 24 years old saw the biggest declines, compared with their 25 to 29 and 30 to 34 peers. And when it comes to race, Asians stand apart: They had small declines in migration, while whites and blacks saw big declines.
Mexico-to-U.S. Migration and the Great Recession. Immigration from Mexico has tumbled in recent years thanks to America's sluggish economy, going from 25 migrants per thousand Mexican residents in 2005 to just 7 per thousand in 2012. While a lack of data has often plagued researchers seeking to study the slowdown, Andres Villarreal at the University of Texas at Austin explores the reasons behind the migration decline using a nationally-representative panel survey of Mexican households, the Mexican National Occupation and Employment Survey. What does he find? The big driver is lower labor demand for Mexican immigrants, especially in industrial sectors like construction. His research helps put other factors in their proper context. While alternative explanations like immigration law enforcement and changes in Mexico's economic and fertility trends are playing a role, they're not the dominant factor driving the numbers down.
"You Can't Always Get What You Want" In A Romantic Partner (Unless You're the Center of a Social Network). Rachel Behler of Cornell University pores through data from Add Health—a huge data set about adolescents in the U.S.—to look at how social networks (your friends, essentially) influence the different stages of your romantic relationships, from holding hands to having sex, saying "I love you," and introducing them to your parents. Not only do friends influence who you meet, they also shape the information you get about how quickly a potential romantic partner wants to proceed. Ms. Behler found the position we play in our social networks affects how much we compromise in our romantic relationships, meaning, how much what happens differs from our idealized, desired path of events.

If you like your tea with plenty of sugar/sweetening. You might want to test this out. As for free samples, I'd search for something else. There's just no way that one tea bag would be valued $0.99.
Lovely naturally sweet Rooibos tea

Love the taste, rooibos that's naturally sweetened. Great for those with a sweet tooth. This is strong enough for 2 large cups of tea, although the sweetness will only last for one.

I wasn't too sure what to expect from this tea. It was a freebie and I thought I'd give it a try. So good! I can't handle caffeine, so I loved that this was caffeine free. It has a pleasant, rich flavor that's not overwhelming. Very soothing. I would order more. Take a look at my page to see over 100 real reviews from products I've purchased and tested here at Iherb!

Really-really tasty tea!
Posted by eathealthy on Jul 02, 2013
This is a wonderful rooibos tea blended with stevia leaf right in the bag so it is sweetened once steeped. This is convenient so you don't have to add any sugar, stevia, or honey after steeping the tea. I enjoyed the vanilla citrus flavor although I wouldn't say it was a strong flavor. Rooibos tea is full of anti-oxidants and caffeine-free so it suits drinking any time of day.

Weird taste

I will not order more of this, the taste of it was very weird and sweet
Rooibos Tea
Posted by Reviewer3106204 on Dec 13, 2012
I could only give this 3 stars because I don't like sweetened tea. It has stevia in it, which takes away from the full bodied red tea flavor.
Not tasty
Posted by Reviewer2330806 on Jan 05, 2013
Not tasty, so sweet and I did'nt put any sugar in it. The worst tea which I tasted.
Very good tea/coffee replacement!

I have never ever liked rooibos, but this one I loved!

Yes, I've been promising to sell mine off but never got round to it. I have
merely checked it works on my 3mx; otherwise unused and complete but box a
bit "distressed". I think that whatever the eBay one went for (assuming
comparable state) would be reasonable.
I have some other ("Widget") games too.

Several coaching changes were approved at East Central Community College in Decatur following the June 12 meeting of the College's Board of Trustees, announced ECCC President Dr. Phil A. Sutphin.
Scott Hill, who has served as fast-pitch softball head coach and director of intramurals since 2003, has stepped down to become a full-time faculty member at the College. Kristin Chaney, Hill's assistant the past four years and one of his former players, was selected as his successor.
The Lady Warrior basketball program is also undergoing a change in leadership.
Bill Smith has retired to pursue other opportunities, which may possibly include coaching on a different level.
Hill, 43, is one of the most successful coaches at East Central. His overall record is 308-123-1 and includes the program's first Region 23 Tournament title in 2010 and the first MACJC State Tournament championship in 2011.
The 2010 squad placed fourth in the NJCAA Division II National Women's Softball Championship en route to a record 47 victories with just 11 losses and one tie. The same squad was recognized as the NJCAA Academic Softball Team of the Year by posting a 3.69 grade point average. Hill was named Region 23 Softball Coach of the Year following the successful campaign.
Hill's 2011 team placed fifth in the national competition and finished 37-15. The talented squad also received NJCAA Softball Academic Team of the Year honors with another 3.69 grade point average. He received Region 23 Softball Coach of the Year honors in recognition of his team's success.
Prior to capturing region and state titles, Hill's teams reeled off three straight MACJC Central Division titles, when the league was divided into three areas of competition prior to the current setup of North and South divisions.
Hill has "mixed feelings" about stepping down, but said a desire to spend more time with his family was a main reason for the change.
"I feel very blessed to have had the opportunity to coach softball here at East Central," Hill said. "It has been a wonderful experience not only for me but for my family as well. I am sad because there is so much that I will miss, but having the chance to spend a little more time with my family is something I know I will cherish. I look forward to assuming this new role as fulltime instructor which will continue to give me the chance to help young people at a place that is so dear to me."
Hill added, "I have had the great fortune to have had many fine young ladies to come through this program that definitely made it what it is today. I will always be so grateful for their many sacrifices on and off the field. It is very satisfying to see them start a career and a family….and know that we might have had some very small part in helping them along the way. I don't hesitate to recognize the huge impact they have had on my life."
Hill said he is "very pleased" that the Board of Trustees approved Chaney as his successor.
"It is reassuring to have someone the caliber of Kristin Chaney to step in and take over this program," Hill stated. "In my nine years here as head softball coach, Coach Chaney has been with me for six of those years, two as a player and four as a coach. There is no way to measure just how important she has been to me and the Lady Warrior softball program. She is truly ready for this opportunity and I am so excited for her."
Chaney, 26, who is recognized as the College's only two-sport NJCAA All-American (softball/basketball), said following in Hill's footsteps makes the opportunity to serve as Lady Diamond Warrior coach "even more special."
"First and foremost, I want to thank Coach Hill for everything he has done for the softball program at East Central. He truly has bettered the program with the renovations to the field as well as bringing the first ever championship to the program. I would not be able to be in this position without him and will forever be grateful for everything he has done for this program as well as for me," Chaney said.
The new Lady Diamond Warrior head coach said she looks forward to continuing the program's success.
"I am excited to step in to this role as head coach," she said. "I love East Central from the bottom of my heart. I will forever bleed black and gold. This is a special time for me and I cannot begin to express my excitement. I only hope to build on the rich tradition here."
Prior to joining the ECCC staff in 2008, Chaney attended the University of Southern Mississippi, where she received master and bachelor's degrees in sports administration. She was also a standout member of the Lady Eagle basketball team, receiving most valuable player honors following the 2005-06 and 2006-07 seasons. In addition, she received the Female Student of the Year and Lady Eagle Award in 2006-07. She was also a member of the 2006-07 and 2007-08 Lady Eagle softball teams.
Chaney is a 2005 honor graduate of ECCC and a Hall of Fame member. In addition to receiving NJCAA All-American honors in softball and basketball, she was selected an NJCAA Academic All-American and finished second in the NJCAA Female Athlete of the Year competition.
She helped lead the 2004 and 2005 fast-pitch softball teams to MACJC Central Division championships en route to records of 26-14 and 34-5, respectively. Following the 2004 campaign, Chaney was one of only three freshmen and the only Mississippian selected second team NJCAA American. She received All-Region 23, MACJC All-State and MACJC All-Central Division honors following both seasons. In addition, she was selected the Lady Diamond Warriors' most valuable player in 2004 and received most valuable offensive and most valuable defensive player awards in 2005.
Chaney is a product of Newton County High School.
Bill Smith began his employment at East Central in 2001 as men's head basketball coach. He led the squad for four years and compiled an overall 42-66 mark, which included a berth in the MACJC and Region 23 tournaments in 2002-03.
Smith, 51, took over the Lady Warrior program in 2005 and reeled off six consecutive winning seasons, including a Region 23 championship in 2007-08 and a berth in the NJCAA Women's Basketball Championship en route to a 22-8 record.
The past two seasons the Lady Warriors dipped to 8-15 records but the 2011-12 squad overcame a 0-11 start by winning eight of the following nine contests and finished the season as the South Division's No. 4 seed with a 7-5 division mark. EC advanced to the MACJC State Basketball Tournament but fell to host Itawamba in first-round action.
His overall record as women's head coach is 101-79.
"I've enjoyed my 11 years here," Smith said. "I just felt like it was time to retire and pursue some other job opportunities. I really enjoyed my time here…both with the men's and women's teams. I'm looking forward to a new challenge and a new chapter in my life."
Smith said the highlight of his tenure was the 2007-08 season, when the Lady Warriors captured the Region 23 championship and advanced to the national tournament.
"I thought that was a great accomplishment for a special group of girls," Smith said of the championship season.
Smith came to East Central from Neshoba Central High School, where he successfully led the girls' basketball program for 16 years. His teams posted an overall record of 388 wins and 151 losses, which include a state championship and six division titles.
The College is currently advertising for a new women's head basketball coach.
Applications will be received by Athletic Director Chris Harris through Friday, June 29. The position opening announcement is available on the College Web site, www.eccc.edu.

History Of Birth And Growth Of Telugu Cinema (Part 6)
Chittoor V Nagaiah - Veteran Telugu and Tamil film artiste.
With the emergence of social cinema, the number of artistes playing roles in mythological films dwindled. New artistes began surfacing. Notable among them were Chittoor V Nagaiah, Bhanumathi, YV Rao, Kannamba, Kamala Kotnis and a few others. Kanchanamala too joined the main stream of Telugu cinema at that time. But she was on the third rung, as mythological films dominated then. But the moment social cinema emerged, she surged to the top. She became a super star overnight. She became a sensation and was called Greta Garbo of the East. Greta Garbo of Hollywood cinema was then considered as the greatest film actress on earth. Kanchanamala too became a top actress of Telugu cinema. With this era of socials, new companies also came up and new artistes were born. Gudavalli Ramabrahmam, who was till then getting trained in Vel Pictures, launched his own 'Sarathi Films' and made 'Malapilla'. It was released in 1938 and became a hit. Thus 'Gruhalakshmi' and 'Malapilla' became trendsetters in one way. The emergence of Rohini and Sarathi banners and their success encouraged others to take to film production. It became a business proposition, by itself. Yet they never lost the sense of social responsibility. Among them was BN Reddy. He worked in HM Reddy's 'Gruhalakshmi'. He then launched his own 'Vauhini Productions' in 1938.
At that time YV Rao was managing a Tamil production made under the banner of Royal Talkies. BN Reddy made 'Vandemataram' and YV Rao made 'Malli Pelli', both in 1939. Both were hits. That was how a strong foundation was laid for social films. Later, YV Rao too started a film unit named 'Chintamani Pictures'.
YV Rao - A revolutionary filmmaker.
C Pullaiah was then making films in Calcutta for the East India Company. He came to Madras and made 'Varavikrayam' for the same company - East India. Mirjapuram Raja made 'Jeevana Jyothi' in Jaya Film Studio, in 1940. It was a social. Thus many production companies emerged and made importance socials. With them came other great names on the technical and creative branches of the industry. Writers Samudrala, Gopichand and Kodavatiganti Kutumba Rao, musicians Rajeswara Rao, Chittoor V Nagiah and BNR and artistes LV Prasad, Kasturi Siva Rao, Krishnamurthy, Bezavada Rajaratnam, Suryakumari, Malathi and many more were introduced to Telugu screen, during this time. This was also the period when Telugu found its strong roots in Chennai. That was the beginning of the era of Telugu cinema in Chennai. Rohini, Vauhini, Sarathi, Jagadish began making quality films with lesser investment. It was said that payments made to the artistes and technicians, even by production companies like Rohini and Vauhini, were less. They were keeping some of the important artistes under their control by entering into contract. Thus they kept them under their control. Jagadish Pictures' 'Malli Pelli' costed them just Rs.60,000 only.
That was the time when a new banner 'Gemini' was born. Gemini is the name of a race horse on which SS Vasan, its owner made big money. Therefore he named his studio after it. This happened in 1942. He made films 'Jeevanamukti' and 'Balanagamma'. They recorded great success, specially 'Balanagamma' with Govindarajula Subba Rao and Banda Kanakalingeswara Rao in main roles. This was the film that brought name to Kanchanamala who was booked to play the title role. Vasan decided to make more films and began booking top artistes for any rate they demanded. And he put everyone in contract. This was a business tactic, as was already said, to keep the other producers away from his artistes. Kanchanamala was the highest paid actress under his contract. The other studios, therefore, could not book her.

First, it is perfectly possible that not all architecture-dependent code
has been found and ported yet. However, I think it more likely that the
author of this code guessed that any conventional CPU should at least have
a program counter and a processor status word, and thus concluded that
this code is generic enough to put in the architecture-independent part of
MINIX. Actually accessing these registers is something else of course,
that would be part of the arch-independent code.

The sun was strong overhead as Adrian Cahill took his place at the start of the obstacle course.
The 7-year-old scanned the field, his eyes dancing with excitement as he surveyed the many challenges that lay in his path. At the call to begin, Adrian was off like a flash.
He scrambled up and over tall stacks of hay, swung across a pool of water, leaped over hurdles and climbed gingerly through a maze of string lines. At the end, Adrian was rewarded with a medal of achievement, which he wore with a proud smile for the rest of the day.
It might sound like some sort of junior ROTC competition, but this kid-friendly obstacle course was actually just one of the signature events of the 2014 Wipeout Cancer Sports Day for Charity. On July 26, the fields at the Campbell Community Center were transformed into a multi-sport arena for this all-day outdoor fundraiser.
Wipeout Cancer Sports Day drew more than 500 adults, teens and children out for a day of fun for a good cause. Participants had their pick of a variety of activities: three different bike rides, a volleyball tournament with multiple divisions and the children's obstacle course.
Only in its second year, the inaugural Wipeout Cancer event in 2013 raised more than $20,000. Those funds were split equally between The Livestrong Foundation and Cancer CAREpoint, a San Jose nonprofit that provides counseling, assistance and education to local cancer patients and their families.
The final dollar amount raised at this year's Sports Day is still being tabulated, but all of the proceeds will be going to Cancer CAREpoint. The event's chosen beneficiary and sport-focused theme all come from the inspiring story of Wipeout Cancer's founder Caroline Lee.
An athlete all her life, Lee became a local hero in 2010 when she won $50,000 on the TV show Wipeout. Lee said the moment she realized she was the victor was one of the greatest in her life.
"It's second to none," she said. "You don't know you've won until they tell you, so when the host Jill told me, I was like, 'yes!' "
However, the obstacles Lee had to hurdle to win the competition that day were nothing compared to what she would face just two years later. In the summer of 2012, she was diagnosed with Stage IV colon cancer.
"It's shocking," Lee said of learning she had cancer. "They told me I had two cysts and I'd need surgery and chemo. I'd never had surgery before. I was healthy and active."
With the support of her family, friends and colleagues, Lee made it through her surgery, chemotherapy and drug treatments. She says it was during her recovery time that the idea for Wipeout Cancer was born.
"I was restless from sitting around and I kept thinking, 'How can I give back?' " Lee said.
She decided on an event that focused on the thing she loves most: sports. And Lee wanted all of her favorites represented--volleyball, biking and an obstacle course--to serve as tribute to her success on Wipeout.
"I've run volleyball tournaments before, but I knew that adding in biking, obstacles and a raffle would be tricky," Lee said. "My friends said to me, 'If you want to do this, we're behind you.' "
More than 100 volunteers, most of them Lee's friends, family and co-workers, helped put on this year's Sports Day. Every job from securing sponsors six months in advance to setting up 20 volleyball nets at 6 a.m. the day of are all done by the same group of people who have been by Lee's side since day one.
Mabelle Artz, who took the initiative of signing Lee up for Wipeout all those years ago, said it means a lot to organize this event with her longtime friend.
"Knowing how much strength and courage she has, it makes you want to do more," Artz said. "It gives a lot of inspiration to people."
Artz added that many of the participants in the sports day are moved by the event's cause.
"More than 50 percent of them have had cancer touch them in some way," she said. "A lot of them are survivors."

hi hun
hope your feeling a bit better now.
with any worry like this dont wait for things to get worse or ask for advice on here ring labour ward or you rcommunity midwife.
they wont mind or think you're wasting time, thats what their there for. they get call the same as yours everyday.
the only thing i will unfortunatloy say, which im sure your already aware of, if a miscarriage does begin or premature labour before 35 weeks these is nothing that anyone can do.
take it easy and keep you rfeet up whenever you can and make sure that you ring a midwife for advise shoudl anything else happen. part of her care is to give you advice and 'care' for you.

Post subject: scared and confused re spotting
Hi... The spotting could be old blood maybe disturbed from your scan yesterday but from the previous spotting at 4 weeks... or it could just be a small bit of blood from the internal yesterday discoloured by oygen. I think that spotting as early as that is quite common and normal as its just the normal hormones that would have taken place as a period anyway. And theres been none since then. Anything not fresh and red blood has to be something else.... lots of love

I dont want to sound bad but it is so good to read other people being scared about the slightest thing. I had a pain in my lower abdomen and was convinced it was an ectopic pregnancy. I got myself into such a state about it and by the time I saw a doctor I was in complete agony, I had a temperature and was being sick. He examined and pointed out that the pain was too low, and as I had no bleeding it was most likely a strained abdomen - to go home have a bath and some paracetamol and sleep (having lost a nights sleep through worrying). After my bath and a sleep the pain was much less and I think I made it worse by worrying. I decided last night that I wasnt going to worry anymore - but I woke this morning with some bleeding and am starting worry all over again. It is dull red (not bright) and mixed with brown so I am hoping the same - old blood - nothing serious.
Thanks for making me feel like I'm not crazy paranoid lady.
