Hi, my partner has told me its over cos he feels like he is
This answer was rated:
Hi, my partner has told me its over cos he feels like he is holding me back and that he feels like there is a power struggle bt me and his ex. He has a 5yr old from his past r'ship and his ex sometimes makes it difficult for us. We both really love each other and want to be together but he just cant sees how it will work. How can I reaffirn to him that hes not holding me back and I want him. I havent always been the most understanding about his ex and have sometimes give him a hard time about it but I am willing to move on from this. Other problem is that he has just recently started work again after a period of unemployment and hes broke so he has to stay here with me until he gets on his feet. I want to know if there is any hope for us and if hes in love, with some time could we get back together?

Hello, and thanks for your question.
If you are both in love with each other and feel you are meant to be together, you can overcome the present problems. Since you said you feel badly that you've given him some problems regarding his ex, etc., you can tell him you realize he does love you with all his heart and you will not give him trouble about his ex in the future.
If he told you he feels like he's holding you back and you know he's not and want him to remain with you and in this relationship, tell him so. He also may feel like he's less of a man, because he had a period of unemployment and now is first trying to get back on his feet; the fact that he is staying with you is good, so you can help him bolster his self-confidence, and give him all the love and support he will need right now.
Any relationship needs work to ensure it's success, and if you continue to let him know in words and actions, that you love him and don't want to be apart from him, tell him if he allows your relationship another chance, he will be happy he did. You can't exactly break up if he's living with you, right?
I wish you much good luck and hope things work out the way you want them to.

Thanks for that. Its reassuring to know that it may be saved. My main fear is that when he was saying we should break up, I was giving solutions and things we could do to try but he puts up barriers and says that that will never work or the problem with his ex and his daughter will always cause problems. He feels torn between 2 relationships at the moment because he wants to love me but at the same time doesnt want to make his daughter feel unloved. He feels guilty that her mum and dad are not together anymore and does anything for her. I personally think he is a little depressed as his personality has changed so much recently and no matter how much I try to be there for him and look after him, he sometimes feels like he is being controlled. Im a teacher so Im off work for 7 wks now and I am going away on trips for 2/3 weeks now partly to see friends and partly to give us space. Do you think this will help us?
replied 7 years ago.
Hi again, and you're most welcome.
Thanks for your reply with additional information, so I can understand more details about your situation.
I think he's having a hard time distinguishing between keeping his daughter happy, yet grounded (not spoiling her, which a lot of single dads do), and dealing with his ex. If he said to you that whatever you suggested will never work, because the problem with his ex and his daughter will always cause problems, he's *allowing* this to cause problems.
His love for you and his love for his daughter are two different things, and many single dads go on to develop successful relationships, while at the same time being excellent parents to their children. If he feels guilty regarding his daughter, because her parents are no longer together, he is doing her a great disservice by giving her anything, and she will grow up very demanding, spoiled, and find it difficult to form lasting relationships of her own.
I agree with you, that he does sound depressed and very conflicted about how to make his daughter know he loves her and take away the guilt that he and her mother are no longer together. They obviously separated for a reason, and weren't happy together. It would be a good idea if he sought some professional in person counseling, to help him with his present situation and feelings. And, he has to learn to not spoil his daughter. If he has so much guilt about not being with her mother, a professional therapist will help him understand why he feels this way and what he can do to alleviate those feelings.
I do think the trips you have planned will help, because he needs alone time, to figure this all out; however, before you leave, try to help him find a counselor he can talk it all out with and receive some positive actions and direction to follow, to help himself. Be sure to keep in contact with him, tell him you'll always be there for him, to discuss what's on his mind, and although you'll miss him, you feel that taking your vacation now, is best for you both, especially because you don't have work until the new term begins, and he needs to sort things out.
If he tells you he loves you and wants to continue the relationship, his ex and his daughter are not reasons to break up. His ex should be out of his life, and only in it, when they need to discuss anything related to his daughter. His daughter deserves his full attention whenever she's with him, but he has to treat her 'normally', not out of guilt, due to the circumstances. He can tell her "Mum and Dad don't live together anymore, but we both still love you more than ever, and always will".
I hope things work out, and try to have a good time on your holiday.

I live in the north-east part of Belgium. About 40 kms (30 miles) NE from the seaport of Antwerp and just a bit south of the border with PA-land. I received my first licence in october 2001 holding the callsign ON2VS. In march 2002 i upgraded to callsign ON1VS, which enabled me to also be active on the 6m band. I got interested in this band because of all the things told me by ON5PU. I was solely active on VHF until august 2003. After that date i changed to HF and since then i hold the callsign ON5GY. I am mostly active on 10, 15, 20 and 40m bands. Equipment consists of an IC-746, SM-6 mike, Imax 2000 vertical antenna that i use on 10-12-15-17 m. bands and a G5RV antenna for 20/40/80 m. bands. I am also interested in RTTY and other digital modes. My other interests in radio are QSL-ing, collecting awards, IOTA, WAS, WAZ, participating in the odd contest and working special event stations. 73's to all. When it comes to the subject of QSL'ing : I still believe in the 'old fashioned' paper QSL card. There for I do not accept, acknowledge or reply to electronic QSLs. I also collect coins from the USA State Quarter program. You can email me for a wantlist of those states i still need. I also like photography. Thank you in advance.

The Grand Rapids boxing maestro turned in another virtuoso performance with 12-round unanimous decision victory in a historic welterweight showdown Saturday night at MGM Grand Garden Arena.
But it was not without a noteworthy trouble spot, the kind everyone needs to see before gauging any prizefighter's overall worth: A pair of knee-buckling right hands in the second round which had Mayweather grabbing and clutching, and in undoubtedly the worst trouble of his brilliant 41-0 career.
His response was a cranked-up offense and a finely honed defense, neither of which Mosley ever proved able to solve, and an impressive near-whitewash which will force a reconsideration of the pound-for-pound ratings which have him second -- and Mosley third -- behind Manny Pacquiao.
By mid-fight, Mosley (46-6), of Pomona, Calif., was huffing like a dirt-covered horse at the back of the Kentucky Derby field, and Mayweather couldn't miss him with head-snapping rights.
Mayweather wore red leather trunks with mink trim but the two most luxurious things he carried into the ring were covered in boxing gloves.
Judges Adelaide Byrd and Dave Moretti scored it 119-109, and Robert Hoyle had it 118-110.
The Press had it 119-109.
(Courtesy of CompuBox Inc.)
Because the fight took so many years to materialize, the operative question entering the fight was whether the 38-year-old Mosley could rediscover his youth against the 33-year-old Mayweather, or rather the Mosley of old would yield to simply an old Mosley.
Those questions persisted despite the pound-for-pound reckonings which had Mosley trailing only two men for the mythical title both he and Mayweather held earlier in their careers.
Mosley's inactivity after a layoff of 15-plus months was the basis for it.
The answer came quickly.
After a relatively tedious first round, when Mosley had trouble finding openings and once lunged off-balance so badly his gloves touched the canvas, he landed two rights, the first of which made Mayweather stumble, and the second of which buckled his knees. It was easily the worst Mayweather had been hurt in his career.
Mayweather criticized Mosley as a fighter who seeks one big shot -- then felt what it's like when he finds it.
After that brief trouble point, Mayweather picked up his offense considerably and Mosley found it that much more difficult to penetrate the 4-1 favorite's defense.
Mayweather was simply too fast and athletic, and left the pro-Mosley crowd with the impression their favored fighter never was good enough, regardless what year this fight occurred.
Naazim Richardson made a quick name for himself in his first fight as Mosley's trainer when he discovered Antonio Margarito's loaded handwraps last year. This time, Richardson's pre-fight contribution was an admonition to referee Kenny Bayless to watch Mayweather's left elbow, which he said is used as a defensive weapon, during the pre-fight instructions in the locker room. Bayless promised to watch for it.
It never came into play and Bayless never addressed it.

By fight's end, it was clear Mayweather deserved every penny, as well as a revote on pound-for-pound rankings.
Pacquiao, where are you?

Police and highway officials have reopened the right eastbound lane of Oregon 224 near Damascus, closed earlier because of a crash.
However, state highway officials are warning that it may take a few minutes for backed-up traffic to clear. Meanwhile, a tree toppled in the crash remains lying across the sidewalk.
A crash around 8:15 a.m. forced the lane closure about one mile east of Interstate 205 near Damascus.
No information is available on possible injuries to drivers involved in the crash.

Where Is Your Fiber Coming From?
The topic of fiber in one's diet is always on the burner. It's interesting, important and often frustrating for those of us attempting to lead by example and teach. For those just discovering the fiber content of Quest Protein Bars, for example, and chomping three or four daily thinking they're getting sufficient good fiber, please read and learn from my good friend and colleague Krystin Deneen.
In one of her regular emails to her personal clients, Krystin hit all the hot topics. She clearly explains the crucial differences between fiber on a nutrition label and fiber in real food. I was so taken with the clarity of her message I asked if I could reprint her email on the site. Krystin is happy to share. Read and learn:
In checking client food logs and my daily conversations about food I have had countless accounts of hearing concerns of getting enough fiber. Most of these conversations end with a client telling me their method of doing so is cereal, bars of some sort, and bread. While the grams of fiber may be high on the label it may not be doing what you think it's doing, and it comes at a heavy price.
Let me explain. The fiber in highly processed foods like muffins, fiber-bars, and whole grain toast or cereal has been through a refining procedure that basically removes the natural fiber found in plants making them poor sources. The price you pay is the insulin spike from the sugar that is in almost all of these processed foods or the glucose that it's form of carbohydrate is converted into. (The fat causing spike from a piece of white bread is almost the same as from a piece of "high-fiber-whole-grain"bread.) These products are made up of mostly carbohydrates with a small amount of protein and fat. Carbohydrates are either starch, sugar, fiber, or all three. The problem is that the fiber percentage in these products is actually low. Fancy labels and marketing cause us to think they are higher than plants, but they aren't. Check it out:
Percentage fiber (as % of their carbs*)
Brown Rice 4%
Corn 7%
Oats 11%
Whole Wheat 12%
Barley 17%
Kamut 19%
Percentage fiber (as % of their carbs*)
Apple 15%
Pear 23%
Apricot 25%
Red Pepper 25%
Carrot 29%
Kale 33%
White Mushrooms 33%
Celery 50%
Spinach 50%
What do these percentages mean? Well, here's an example to make this easier to understand: 1 Cup of raw Spinach is a total of 7 Calories and 1.1 Carbohydrates with 3.5 grams of Fiber while 1 Cup of Whole Grain Cereal Flakes is 170 Calories and 41 Carbohydrates (41!!!) with 5 grams of Fiber.
I think you know where I'm going with this email.
So let's go over some facts.
-Health experts say the recommended daily intake of fiber is between 25-35 grams per day.
-The benefits of fiber include its ability to stabilize blood sugar, reduce cholesterol, decrease risk of colon cancer, prevent constipation, and support a healthy body weight.
-There are soluble and insoluble fibers:
Soluble Fibers:
attracts water and form a gel, which slows down digestion. Soluble fiber delays the emptying of your stomach and makes you feel full,which helps control weight. Slower stomach emptying may also affect blood sugar levels and have a beneficial effect on insulin sensitivity, which may help control diabetes. Soluble fibers can also help lower LDL ("bad") blood cholesterol by interfering with the absorption of dietary cholesterol.
Insoluble Fiber:
considered gut-healthy fiber because they have a laxative effect and add bulk to the diet, helping prevent constipation. These fibers do not dissolve in water, so they pass through the gastrointestinal tract relatively intact, and speed up the passage of food and waste through your gut. Insoluble fibers are mainly found in whole grains and vegetables.
-Good sources of Soluble and Insoluble Fibers
oatmeal, lentils, apples, oranges, pears, strawberries, nuts, flaxseeds, beans, peas, blueberries, psyllium, cucumbers, celery, and carrots.
seeds, nuts, brown rice, zucchini, celery, broccoli, cabbage, onions, tomatoes, carrots, cucumbers, green beans, dark leafy vegetables, raisins, grapes, and root vegetable skins.

You couldn't make this up. This story hit the fan this week:
North Carolina governor proposes funding PSE based on students' ability to get jobs: North Carolina Governor Pat McCrory told a national radio audience Tuesday that state community colleges and universities should be funded based on how well they do at placing students in the labour market. McCrory said he has instructed his staff to draft legislation "in which we change the basic formula and how education money is given out to our universities and our community colleges, not based on how many butts in seats but how many of those butts can get jobs." University of North Carolina president Tom Ross says the 16-campus system is already revising its funding formula to include measures relating to student achievement and academic and operational efficiencies. Still, he has reservations about gauging university success solely based on students' and graduates' employment rate.
Further to this, the NC Governor dumped on the "educational elite" on —what else?—open line radio for offering courses in subjects such as gender studies that don't lead students onto clear career paths. Who needs the liberal arts, he asked. We need engineers and mechanics.
Not surprisingly, reaction from faculty, and the UNC president was swift, strong, and strident. McCrory himself earned a BA in political science and education from an expensive southern college, and so one wonders whether he thinks it was all a waste of time. I'd be checking those college credentials, for sure. What is it with these people who turn on their own degrees? Wonder if he donates to their advancement fund.
I can't imagine anywhere in the world where these sorts of statements would be uttered in public by an elected official. Can you imagine anyone saying this in France or Germany? Or Canada? But in the US, polarized as that nation is between Republican governors like McCrory and, say, California Democratic governor Jerry Brown, extreme positions are more common.
Of course, the foundation of a liberal arts program is its critique of society, culture, tradition, and official history. Take away that capacity and you have a nation of narrowly educated morons. I am overstating, but you know what I mean. Do we want our universities to be strictly labour market rigged? Anyhow, how does this McCrory fellow even know where gender studies graduates are working anyway? Because they are.
This kind of talk-show ranting is worrisome on so many levels, not the least of which is the thinly veiled attack on president Obama who has long been accused of elitism for holding advanced degrees from the Ivy League. As if that were a bad thing…. I have commented on the shame of all that before. It never ceases to amaze me that one of the most advanced countries in the free world should also contain such ignorant, anti-intellectual attitudes about education. That's why they call it an open society, I guess. It's a society in which more cartridge ink is spilled on whether Beyoncé lip synched the national anthem during the presidential inauguration than on any post-secondary education debate, ever.
Now, none of this means I am going to miss the Superbowl half-time show…. I might live in the ivory tower but a liberal arts degree also gives me an appreciation of good spectacle.

Ultralight Backpacking Water Filtration System - Sawyer Filter
People Who Liked This Video Also Liked
Did this video help you?
David Fox: Good review. I like the notion of not buying replacement filters. The seems on your wood floor are improperly spaced.
whotookmymojo: Does the Katadyn system remove bacteria? Also in the Sawyer filter are you concerned with bacteria passing through? What about mold inside the closed filter? I watched the Katadyn review and they mentioned to completely dry to avoid mold. For constant use in a bug out situation would you still pick the sawyer?
zalsentzer: Dylan, the filter "combs" out all micro-organisms down to .1microns. So, organisms etc. are simply removed from the water before exiting the filter. It does not have any sort of charcoal or chemical element that kills bacteria.
Dylan NcNaughton: So since you dont need to use tablets this kills bacteria and other small organisms and filters dirt?
The OutBeardsman Channel: Funny how you have your cat do a cameo at the beginning of your vids.....great water filter system
Matt DeWitt: Love the idea. I watched sticks video and yes you can save weight but I have done the ultra light thing with drops for years. There is a point when you are with the family backpacking that you have to consider time and connivence over weight. I personally like your setup better. and looking into a either making one like yours or getting the sawyer gravity system for family outings and sticking with aquamira drops for "guy trips" or solo. Sawyer seems to have the longest life on filters.
Chad Poindexter: @zalsentzer " Always changing, always tweaking, that's half the fun, right?" I gotta admit, it is pretty fun...besides, we gotta have something to do while we're not on the trail too... :)
zalsentzer: @1377stick Cheers buddy... I like your system a lot, it is so light! I used to use iodine tablets, then I switched to the Katadyn Hiker, now I am using the system in this video. Always changing, always tweaking, that's half the fun, right? Anyway, glad you like the vid, cya. Z
Chad Poindexter: Great video man, and thanks for the shout out man! You make some good points about the filter, especially taste. In the warm months, I have found that the MP1 tabs will leave a after taste after 4 hours, which is where the FP filter comes in handy, as well as Kool-Aid! Anyway, if I had started out with the system you have now I may have been more hesitant to go to what I am now using, but I was really unhappy with the Hiker Pro and the Camelbak. Thanks again.

Twisting and turning corn maze provides educational fun for all ages
by Deborah Stone
Features Writer
How long does it take for a chicken egg to hatch? What industry in Washington employs the most people? How many squirts are in a gallon of milk? What are Washington's top five farm products when ranked by sales?
Test your agricultural knowledge with these and other related questions at Farm LLC's (Limited Liability Company) 6.1-acre corn maze, open now through the end of October at South 47 Farm in Redmond.
This is the organization's second year for the corn maze and proceeds from the admission fees go towards preserving farmland and promoting sustainable farming in the Sammamish Valley.
The company was formed in early 1999 when a group of Root Connection Farm members got together to save their farm. They combined their talents, energy and finances and bought the Root Connection property several months later.
Soon after, they purchased the property next to the Root Connection, now the Living Legacy Community Ranch, and later that year, they secured a 47-acre parcel on the corner of 124th St. and Highway 202.
To create opportunities for small-scale farming, Farm LLC leases small parcels of land on long-term leases to qualified farmers.
The company also offers educational classes and activities for non-farmers and has Community Garden P-patches to allow people without access to land an opportunity to grow their own food.
The corn maze, a popular destination for families and school groups, stands over six feet tall and was cut into the shapes of farm animals that are visible only from an aerial view.
While twisting and turning their way through this seemingly endless labyrinth, visitors learn about local farmland by answering questions at each intersection. Correct answers lead to the right path, while incorrect responses lead to a dead end.
On a recent, balmy Saturday afternoon, the place was hopping with families out to enjoy some harvest fun.
Some were slowly making their way from start to finish; others zoomed down the paths in search of the exit.
Young and old seemed to take pleasure in discussing the questions and both were equally excited when they were able to choose the right response.
Those who guessed wrong encountered a dead end and were met with a sign explaining the correct answer.
For some, negotiating the maze took a rapid twenty minutes or so, but for others, the process took longer. As visitors neared the exit sign, their voices rose with jubilation at completing the maze. Many then headed over to look at the menagerie of farm animals or hopped on a wagon for a free hayride (on weekends only).
Those craving refreshments went to peruse the table of goodies for sale, which included kettle corn, cider, eggs, honey, sweet corn and apples.
The farm also has U-Pick areas, specifically set aside for the public to pick their own flowers and green beans (pumpkins will be available in October).
The corn maze is open Thursday-Sunday, from 10 a.m. until dusk. Admission is $4 on weekdays and $5 on weekends. Discounts are available for groups of twenty or more. For additional information, call (425) 753-0756.

I already know this, but it bears repeating: there is an inverse relationship between the amount of sleep I get and the amount and strength of carb cravings I get the next day. I've been taking a class that meets once a week, and ends at 10, which means I get home at 11. My roommate's dog AND cat died yesterday (oh my god, horrible) and she needed to talk to someone. I have to say, I was not the best person to talk to because I was falling asleep standing up.
There is also an inverse relationship between the amount of sleep I get and how much I care about any given thing. Work, sex, working out, being creative, or even being able to have a conversation with another human being. I'll be 31 in two weeks and 6 hours of sleep basically leaves me a carb-crazed zombie who could give a sh*t about sh*t. (I guess the good thing about NOW -- being Primal for almost 2 months now (wow!) -- is that "carb-crazed" means eating 3 squares of Lindt thins first thing when I get to work without even caring. And then stopping. Not a whole package of Oreos. I guess that's pretty great.)
I've just signed up for a 2-month acting class that meets on Sundays until 9 (earliest bedtime then would be 10pm), and Mondays until 10 (earliest bedtime would then be 11). UGH. I guess I could basically be saying goodbye to faster weight loss for the next two months, right? Having had a lot of sleep before this class, I'm realizing HOW IMPORTANT sleep is in my ability to handle stress.
I am not doing very well in stretching my food budget, even thought I've ballooned it. And then I look at my Mint, and I realize that even though I set a budget for food, I have obviously spent a part of it (a lot of it) on non-groceries things, and that is why I am left with chicken sausages, eggs, and bacon for the rest of the month. I read about Paleo Plan (Paleo Plan | Making the Paleo Diet Easier) on Tim Ferris' blog -- I wonder if it would be helpful to me with grocery planning. Or maybe I'm lazy and can do it myself. Or maybe it is like training wheels, and it will teach me how to do it myself.
I'm probably exercising too early on LR, but it makes me feel so good. I'm standing taller, walking more firmly on the ground. I feel more graceful and supported.
There's also a direct relationship between my dairy consumption and my weight. I've had like 4 small cups of cottage cheese in the past 2 days and my weight has shot up again. Good lord.
On the other hand, not eating after 4pm is helping me fall asleep as soon as I lay down, which is new. If I do get hungry, it sort of goes away. It's like, it's okay, you do your thing, I'll be back tomorrow. No need to get all freaked out about anything.
I've also been considering the idea that weight is somehow a protection thing. I've had my share of stuff happen that, if I think honestly about it, means I feel it's unsafe to be a slender, attractive woman. I have a lot of ambivalence about it. I think the best way to counter that is to take up some form of martial arts -- so I can protect myself should I have the need. Then I won't have to hide in this biological fat suit.

PEOPLE TV Critic on Emmy Nominations: Good Job, Kerry Washington!
I was worried that the ABC melodrama – about a beautiful political fixer with conflicted romantic feelings for a handsome, emotionally disturbed president – wouldn't be considered serious enough to merit attention.
Actually, now that I've written that out, I can see why the show might not be considered serious. It's ridiculous. And, in fact, it was shut out of the other top categories. (Although Dan Bucatinsky got a guest-actor nod.)
But I'd rather have seen Scandal up for best drama than Showtime's Homeland, which had a panicked, often ludicrous second season that couldn't be camouflaged by good performances by Claire Danes and Damien Lewis (both nominated, again).
Game ChangerThe big news, however, are the nine nominations for Netflix's imposing new series House of Cards, which depicts Washington, D.C., as a town of cool, polite surfaces and seething inner ambition – sort of like a glass-top coffee table with a bunch of snakes coiled beneath it. Nominees Kevin Spacey and Robin Wright are both terrific as the show's dangerously savvy power couple.
Netflix began to introduce digitally distributed original series only this year, and has quickly followed up Cards with the resuscitated comedy classic Arrested Development (which nabbed Jason Bateman an acting nomination), Hemlock Grove and the new Orange Is the New Black.
This could be a game changer at the Emmys, where the networks are shrinking away like witches repeatedly doused by water. Sorry, Julianna Margulies, star of CBS's The Good Wife. Sorry, Kevin Bacon, star of Fox's The Following.
Got It WrongAnd where the glasnost is FX's The Americans? A tense combination of domestic American drama and Soviet espionage intrigue that can cause a fine jitteriness in a viewer, this superb new thriller earned a guest-actress nomination for Margo Martindale, but nothing for leads Matthew Rhys or the exceptional Keri Russell, whose flinty misery and remote pathos as a suburban wife/spy should redefine her career.
HBO's Girls and its creator/star, Lena Dunham, do not deserve to be up for best comedy and actress, not after that stridently unpleasant second season. (The "ear swab" episode!) Why not smart, adorable Mindy Kaling from Fox's The Mindy Project?
At least on her show she has a good job.
Maggie Smith, two-time winner and yet again a nominee for Downton Abbey, should probably just be moved into her own separate category complete with sleeping compartment and kitchenette.

I find I feel extremely nauseated after taking any pills/supplements, it doesn't really matter what they are.
You could try eliminating certain vitamins to see if there's one culprit in particular.
I've been getting an upset stomach after every meal lately and I can't figure out what it could be. This has been going on for about two weeks now. The only thing I've changed in the last 4-6 weeks is adding some vitamins. Right now I'm taking 10,000 IU of vitamin D, 90 mcg of K2 (MK-7), 1000 mg MSM, a multi-vitamin, and a liquid B-complex vitamin. I sometimes take these in the day, with my first meal at lunchtime, but I usually take them after dinner just before bed. I've been getting sick after just about every meal. Would any of these vitamins cause an upset stomach?
Also, we use permanent bc so pregnancy is highly unlikely.
I find I feel extremely nauseated after taking any pills/supplements, it doesn't really matter what they are.
You could try eliminating certain vitamins to see if there's one culprit in particular.
I thought about that, but wondered if anyone here had any experience with the listed vitamins causing upset stomach. Eliminating one at a time would take forever! I googled each one, but couldn't find enough info to point to one specific vitamin. Maybe I shouldn't take them all at the same time? If I don't take them all at once I'll forget to take them.
Does your multi contain a lot of iron? If I get my iron in pill form it often makes me queasy. Also, be careful taking high amounts of Vit D over a long time, especially if liquid D3. This can cause hypercalcemia. The good news is that it will go away if you stop taking the Vit D. I ran into this when I was told to take 8000 IU daily after my son was born by a "natural" nutritionist & ended up feeling worse (including constant nausea & confusion) Turns out what I really needed was magnesium, not Vit D. GL
It doesn't contain a lot of iron, but it may very well be that. Thanks for the heads up on the vit D, I'll lower the dose and see if that has any effect. I've been taking that dose for a while so I'm sure I can scale back by now.
I always used to feel like puking after taking pills.
Take your pills just before you eat. That way they'll get digested along with all the food you're chowing down on.
Otherwise, I feel like pills + the water you drink just sits ON TOP of your food that's starting to digest. I would belch and belch...and just taste pills. GROSS.
Or take 'em in the middle of your meal.
Works like a charm for me. Try it

Strike 2: Latest Test Version of Ubuntu 9.10 Released
Ubuntu has released a second alpha version of Karmic Koala containing the earliest new features.
Changes include the sync of Debian Unstable packages, a 2.6.30 kernel and an upgraded GNOME 2.27.1.
The release brings major advantages for systems running Intel graphic cards. The new kernel mode setting will reduce boot flicker and increase suspend/resume speed. Linux-restricted-modules, used in the past to deliver proprietary drivers on Ubuntu, have been replaced by a Dynamic Kernel Support (DKS) which will have to be integrated into Jockey and Ubiquity during further development.
HAL (Hardware Abstraction Layer) will no longer take care of special function buttons (volume, contrast etc.). These operations have been transported to "DeviceKit-power" and "udev-extras".
As previously reported, the change of drivers from EXA to UXA support has also improved the situation of users with Intel graphics. While UXA is still considered unstable, Ubuntu is asking for bug reports.
GRUB 2 is now the standard boot-manager on new installations and the GCC compiler comes in version 4.4 with Ext 4 the new default file system. Download versions of Ubuntu's second alpha can be found here:

- Directed by Todd Solondz
===Story=== At times brilliant and insightful, at times repellent and false, ''Happiness'' is director Todd Solondz's multistory tale of sex, perversion, and loneliness. Plumbing depths of ''Crumb''-like angst and rejection, Solondz won the Cannes International Critics Prize in 1998 and the film was a staple of nearly every critic's Top Ten list. Admirable, shocking, and hilarious for its sarcastic yet strangely empathetic look at consenting adults' confusion between lust and love, the film stares unflinchingly until the audience blinks. But it doesn't stop there. A word of strong caution to parents: One of the main characters, a suburban super dad (played by Dylan Baker), is really a predatory pedophile and there is more than an attempt to paint him as a sympathetic character. Children are used in this film as running gags or, worse, the means to an end. Whether that end is a humorous scene for Solondz or sexual gratification for the rapist becomes largely irrelevant. ''Happiness'' is an intelligent, sad film, revelatory and exact at moments. It's also abuse in the guise of art. That's nothing to celebrate.

Denison Trustee Lee Sachs '85 has an idea or two about economic policy. The co-founder and CEO of the financial services firm Alliance Partners and a former assistant U.S. Treasury secretary, he is often looked to for insights and understanding.
Earlier this week, while the deficit-reduction supercommittee approached its impasse on an agreement, Bloomberg Television's Inside Track talked to Sachs about the resulting impacts on the U.S. taxpayer. As Sachs explains, "One of the central lessons of fiscal crises is: The earlier you act, the easier it is. The longer it takes, the more expensive it gets, the larger the numbers get, and the greater the sacrifices that politicians are going to have to ask the people to make."

Hey, just realized that when I got home from tour I didn't tell you about California.
It was tight.
(Note: This image is actually from Arizona, but we thought it looked California-y.)
Things we learned in California this time around:
- Burger Records is tight homies and a rad store. We watched the Gumby Movie and Hell Comes to Frogtown and got stoned.
- Juiceboxxx's new album is going to rule. Don't be too loud; his neighbors are sleeping.
- Speculator's new album is going to rule. Don't worry; he found some weed in a drawer.
- Jib Kidder's new album is going to rule. Don't worry; he gave us a piece of Oaksterdam. Also, he showed us a very upsetting video of a girl addicted to eating pottery.
- Eat Skull's new album is going to rule. Don't worry; Rob has a good room, but Ned's is better.
- CCR Headcleaner's new GNAR TAPE is going to be among the best ever. Don't worry; Alex makes good spaghetti and Justin got me a beer and some chips.
- Melted Toys' new album is going to rule. Don't worry; Daniel is going to try the pills I suggested and Brian is hotter than ever.
- Future Twin girls hooked it up with a BBQ; thanks ladies.
- Paris moved down to SF and I think that's a good idea. Also, Julia's hair looks better longer.
That's all I really need to say I think. We survived tour. Thanks everyone. See you in a few.

Basically, I am healthy. I work out, watch my diet and take no prescription medicines.
But last summer, I injured my right knee. An October mishap really tore the cartilage, and so, on Nov. 27, I had arthroscopic surgery. I left the hospital on my own two legs. For a week, I was walking, improving daily.
Then, on Dec. 4, after a very enjoyable day full of lunch and Scrabble with friends, and many phone calls with family, I experienced a sharp pain in my right chest, just below the rib cage. Very quickly, I could not breathe! After a frantic few moments, my husband called an ambulance. The first wonderful man who entered my kitchen declared that I had a pulmonary embolism. The familiar faces of the community's volunteer first responders showed sparks of recognition, and shadows of concern.
After my vitals were established, I was strapped to the gurney and put in the ambulance. My birth date became my new identifying feature; it would be repeated many, many times.
Off we went on a wild ride through the dark streets, sirens wailing and lights flashing, me fighting for breath and Mr. Paramedic efficiently going about his many tasks. (He put in an IV line; took blood samples, blood pressure and an EKG; and gave me oxygen and a sedative.) The cars that pulled to the side of the road in our wake acknowledged our urgency.
The crew had called ahead; St. Joe's was ready. A CT scan confirmed blood clots in both lungs. A heparin drip was started and I was moved to a bed on the stroke floor. This bed was to be my base for the required five days of the heparin drip. I could not walk for fear of another clot, and out of respect for my knee surgery.
The next morning, a priest in a Buffalo Bills sweatshirt emerged from the 6 a.m. murkiness to offer me Holy Communion. A few hours later, Nicole, one of the many excellent nurses who would care for me, began to explain my new dietary restrictions. A person taking a blood thinner, such as warfarin, must maintain a diet low in vitamin K, the element that helps blood to clot. Broccoli, spinach and other leafy green vegetables are now limited to small daily amounts. Cranberry juice is forbidden.
Although the hospital food was delicious, a true low-fat, low-salt regimen does not include cookies.
The hospital was a world of sounds; I could hear nurses and aides chatting, note the passage of visitors and the arrival of food trays. Was Santa Claus really in the room next door? The man's voice was rich and deep and he sang Christmas carols along with the radio. Every day on the sevens, as the nurses changed shifts, each patient's case and care was explained to the incoming nurse.
A Doppler test showed no blood clots in my legs. After three confining days in bed, sitting in a chair, and walking, escorted, to the bathroom was exhausting yet exhilarating. My first walk down the hall, drip tower in tow, was shaky and liberating.
I am home now, on warfarin. The next six months will be punctuated by blood draws and doctor visits. I am sleeping a lot, but did find the strength to attend my two favorite holiday parties.
I am exceedingly grateful to be home, to be healing and to know that immediate and life-saving assistance is only a phone call away.
Have a Happy New Year. I'm looking forward to doing just that.

PHILIPPI - Garrett Onderko's 4-yard run with 15 seconds left in regulation lifted East Fairmont to a 21-15 win over Class AA, No. 14 Philip Barbour Friday night in Big 10 Conference play at George Byrer Field.

Inter-Mountain photo by Joey Kittle
East Fairmont's Garrett Onderko runs the ball as Philip Barbour's Trevor Humphrey moves in for the tackle.
The loss dropped the Colts to 5-5 and put a damper on their playoff hopes.
"We'll just have to wait and see what happens," Philip Barbour coach Curtis Bodkins said of his team's postseason hopes. "We're not in any position now to control our own destiny."
The Colts trailed 13-3 midway through the fourth quarter before scoring two touchdowns in an 11-second span.
Harley Davis scored on a 1-yard plunge that capped off a long drive and made it 13-9 with 5:38 remaining.
On the Bees' first play from scrimmage, Al Johnson scooped up a fumble and returned it 26 yards to give Philip Barbour a 15-13 cushion.
"We waited for a big play all night long and we got one with that return," Bodkins said. "We had the momentum on our side and just needed to make some plays on defense."
Philip Barbour appeared to get that big play when East running back Michael McCutchan was stopped for a loss. A face mask penalty negated the lost yardage, though, and gave the Bees a first down.
The visitors then drove the length of the field behind a patch-worked offensive unit.
"We had guys playing different positions on that drive because of injuries," East Fairmont coach Bill Haddox said. "We had confusion due to some communication issues but our guys responded."
A mixture of runs by senior Dillon Murphy, who was seeing his first significant action since being injured in the season opener, backup quarterback Jake Delaney and Onderko, along with a key fourth-and-one conversion by Luke Hrapchak, the Bees moved to the Colt 5-yard line to set up Onderko's game-winning score.
"We haven't caught many breaks this season," Haddox said. "So when they scored on that fumble return, it was like here we go again.
"But I was proud of how the kids fought back. That was a good team we beat tonight and coach Bodkins does a terrific job. His kids play hard, just like ours and fight to the end."
Philip Barbour took a 3-0 lead in the first quarter on a 27-yard field goal by Tyler Schiefelbein.
East Fairmont answered in the second quarter when Sam Swiger hit Onderko for a 27-yard score.
McCutchan added a 20-yard run in the third quarter.
"We came out flat in the first half and our blocking was never there," said Bodkins, whose team was outgained 343-235. "We got whipped up front and they really took it to us."
Onderko finished with 119 yards rushing for the winners, while Murphy added 71.
Quarterback Dillon Newman led the Colts with 80 yards on the ground. Davis chipped in with 64. Johnson collected three catches for 61 yards.
East Fairmont (3-6) ends the season next Friday against rival Fairmont Senior.

Find delicious vegan bread recipes that are easy to make and without any butter, dairy or eggs. We have vegan white loaves, seeded loaves, wholemeal bread and more.
This is about as simple as a bread recipe can be. It's crusty, yeasty and satisfying. I'm a bloke, and I can make this perfect every time. It's easiest if you use a stand-type mixer with a dough hook.
Semolina gives this pizza base more stability and a crispy, chewy texture when cooked.
This recipe is easy and foolproof. It makes a soft and tasty loaf with a flaky crust. Perfect for sandwiches and toasties.
This easy focaccia is fantastic with a drizzle of olive oil and balsamic vinegar and a little grated Parmesan.
This recipe was never written down (that I know of) until my Gran shared it with me when she was in her nineties. It always turns out perfectly for me, so I wanted to share it. It makes 3 loaves, so you might want to freeze one or two of them.

Glenn GreenwaldSalon.com
Dear Mr. Greenwald,
You are right to point out that the trivializing of Nazi imagery in politics and in public life through Nazi and Hitler comparisons has become something of an epidemic in our political and popular culture. Holocaust analogies are becoming so common that they have all but lost their meaning, especially to the younger generations. As we have said many times, this trend is disturbing and offensive on a number of levels. Offensive or inappropriate references to the Holocaust must be loudly condemned at every opportunity. Indeed, many of the examples you cite are deeply offensive and equally repugnant, and certainly worthy of condemnation.
However, your suggestion that the Anti-Defamation League has been selective in singling out liberals for condemnation, while remaining silent about the abuse of Holocaust imagery by those on the right, is preposterous. ADL has a long and public record of speaking out against the use of offensive Holocaust imagery from both the left and the right, and we have repeatedly made clear that the use of such imagery is unacceptable in any context and from any quarter. We speak out against the trivialization of the Holocaust whenever and wherever and from whomever it comes, be it Democrat or Republican, liberal or conservative.
The ADL record on this issue, which is available to anyone willing to put in a little time doing research, shows that we have consistently spoken out against politicians and pundits of all stripes, not to mention corporations, advertising agencies, sports personalities, media celebrities and others who have made inappropriate analogies to the Holocaust and Nazism. Often, we give people the benefit of the doubt -- assuming that those who are employing Nazi or Hitler imagery do not necessarily realize the impact of their words, or are ignorant about the history of World War II and the Holocaust, which is why we do not always immediately issue press releases or go on the attack. Our goal is first and foremost to educate the offender so that he or she will come to understand why their words cause pain, and not repeat them in the future. Our goal has never been to shame or embarrass people, or to use our criticism on this issue as a tool for political attacks.
Had you bothered to contact us before writing your piece we would have been glad for the opportunity to condemn the use of Holocaust imagery and those who routinely use Nazi references as a political attack tool, including the recent examples you cite. Many of these individuals you use as examples have been on our radar screen, and we would have been prepared to share with you our file on the subject, which is more than two-inches thick.
Our record of speaking out includes familiar political figures on the right (Pat Buchanan, Alan Keyes, Sen. Rick Santorum); on the left (Sen. Dick Durban, Sen. Robert Byrd, Rep. Keith Ellison); media personalities (Joy Behar, Glenn Beck and Keith Olbermann, among others) celebrities and sports figures (Harry Belafonte, New York Giants Coach Tom Coughlin, Prince Harry); religious figures (James Dobson, D. James Kennedy); and corporations and organizations (Wal-Mart, People for the Ethical Treatment of Animals, Volkswagen, CafePress.com). And the list goes on.
Ironically, ADL has weathered similar accusations before. When we denounced former Senator Rick Santorum, R-PA, for his remarks comparing the Democrats' use of the filibuster to Adolf Hitler, we received hundreds of e-mails from conservatives accusing us of singling out Santorum because we did not like his politics. This claim, while false, took on a life on its own on the Internet, which is why we are writing you today, as your piece unfortunately only helps to perpetuate this myth and seriously misinforms your readers.
Here are just a few of the more recent examples of our speaking out publicly against the inappropriate use of Holocaust/Nazi imagery. All are a matter of public record. Some are available on our Web site; others have been widely reported by the news media:
As you can see, inappropriate Nazi comparisons have been used by public figures of many political persuasions, and we have spoken out regardless of their party affiliation or political leanings.
Unfortunately, with the advent of Blogs, podcasts and political attack Web sites we have seen disturbing examples of cavalier Nazi and/or Holocaust references on an almost daily basis in the form of political attacks from both the left and the right. Adding to the dissonance are the almost daily remarks made almost casually on the airwaves. Given this rampant use of Nazi and Holocaust imagery -- and the proliferation of Blogs, podcasts, and radio and TV talk shows -- it is impossible to track and respond to every incident; indeed, many of these references dissolve into the ether without being widely noticed or heard. We rely on the public to help us by reporting the abuses. Often, ADL's concerns are aired behind the scenes to the producers, general managers, editors, writers and others with whom we have developed important relationships through the years in our work in combating and speaking out against anti-Semitism, racism, prejudice and bigotry.
As to your bizarre assertion that ADL has held back from criticizing Fox News, and specifically Bill O'Reilly, nothing could be farther from the truth. We have in fact loudly criticized Fox News personalities on various issues � for example, when Bill O'Reilly recently told a Jewish caller to "go to Israel," we publicly decried his comments and publicized our letter to O'Reilly on our Web site. We stand ready to challenge him or any other high-profile media figure who attempts in the future to trivialize Hitler and Nazism and the Holocaust.
In closing, we take issue with the very premise of your piece, that "Nazis" and "Hitler" are only the casual, trivializing political insults of "the Right." Our experience on this issue has taught us that, in fact, the misuse of Nazi imagery is a common practice among bloviators on both ends of the political spectrum, and everywhere in between.

WASHINGTON - The economy will likely continue taking center stage on the campaign trail.
Perhaps even more so after the Dow fell sharply by its second-largest point loss ever and as people from Wall Street to Main Street grow more concerned about the prospects of recession. Click play to get Pat Robertson's analysis following CBN News Correspondent John Jessup's report.
Recession on the Horizon?
With Americans cutting back their spending, continuing problems in the housing sector and dramatic slowdowns in manufacturing and job creation, the signs are increasingly pointing to the reality of a recession.
"We definitely are putting more in our savings because you don't know what the future is going to hold," said one shopper.
Worries about the economy sent the Dow plummeting Wednesday - down 733-points as investors sold on fears of what could be the most serious recession in decades.
"We're going to see tens of thousands lose their jobs as businesses pare back their payrolls," Mark Zandi, chief economist for Moody's Economy.com, warned. "We'll see people struggling to stay in their homes, make their bills and it's going to be a really tough time for many of us."
Bernanke: No Quick Fix
Fueling more concerns about the economy, Federal Reserve Chairman Ben Bernanke warned that the credit crisis is still a "significant threat" despite the government's plan to buy shares in large banks to raise capital.
"Stabilization of the financial markets is a critical first step. But even if they stabilize as we hope they will, broader economic recovery will not happen right away," Bernanke cautioned.
That gives those concerned about recession reason to worry.
"There are two main reasons your pay falls during a recession. The first is businesses cut back on workers hours and the second is that they don't give bonuses and raises that equal the rate of inflation." New York Times business columnist David Leonhardt said.
Still, the administration's top finance officials have been working around the clock to beat the odds, aiming to restore confidence in the financial system.
