Working and Pregnancy(31 Posts)
I'm an English Teacher in a Secondary school currently 34 weeks pregnant. I'm due to go on Maternity Leave from Monday, but have had a lot of time off sick during my pregnancy mainly due to low iron making me exhausted, sickness, persistant water infections, usually accompanied by yeast infections, a chest infection, migraines and general lack of ability to cope with the pressure of being a Teacher and the associated side-effects of feeling dreadfully run down all the time. Many women told me about the 'pregnancy glow' which lasted all of about 4 weeks until I was back to feeling awful again whilst struggling and buckling under the huge workload!
The school helped by giving me cover lessons here and there, but it was never enough to catch up on marking and I felt unable to be productive in the evenings, because I was so tired after a day at work. Anyway, I just feel ridiculously guilty about the time off I've had, I've always had a doctors note but I know that my absences have a had a huge impact on my department who have had to do extra work on my behalf, such as setting cover lessons. I did what I could from home, but if I'd have set my own cover, marked work and continued to write reports, there would have been no point in being off sick in the first place and the doctor ordered complete rest during these periods. I know that it has frayed good relationships I once had with people in my department.
Has anyone else has to juggle a high-pressure job whilst being pregnant and experienced anything similar? How did you deal with it? How did other colleagues react to you taking time off sick? I feel very much on my own with this at the moment so any responses would be helpful.
Hi hasle! Im not in this situation but im sure everyone is just plodding on as best they can! I might suggest a lot of biscuits and cake on your last day and no one will care once you bring your cute baby in for everyone to see!
It might be easier once your on maternity as they might be in a position to get a temp in full time! I'm presuming budgets won't let them do that till you finish
If your colleagues were pissed off or unwilling to help out, would you put yours and your baby's health at risk? I assume not. realised a few weeks ago that it's not possible to do everything. Sometimes something had to give, and you have to let it be work, not you or the baby.
I recently took a week off, my boss told me "work will be here a lot longer than you or i".
You're not doing anything wrong, in fact you'd have befn foolish nit to have been off. Often we put the pressure on ourselves. Give yourself break, enjoy your mat leave!

Thanks everyone, I know that what you're all saying is right, I just wish I could stop feeling guilty about it!
Welldone Sparkle! You deserve a medal in my eyes for managing to get through so far! How have you found juggling the workload with your pregnancy? I'd get to a point where my 'to do' list was so long by the end of the day that I'd either sit at my desk and cry or drive home crying, because all I'd want to do is sleep, yet I'd have so much to do!
You're right about the teacher guilt though, I guess that's why we're teachers, we 're the only ones stupid enough to torture ourselves for things beyond our control.
I'm also a secondary English teacher. I'm 30 weeks and struggling a lot but desperate to hang on till the holidays. No time off yet but am being made to feel guilty by some for things like midwife appointments and an upcoming day I needed I take off for an antenatal class (had to take it as special leave because the school would class it as a medical appointment!). I'm coping basically by not doing my job fully. Books are unmarked, lessons aren't planned as well as they could be... But I'm still going... We have a tough job at the best of times; be kind to yourself and know that eventually your colleagues will forget this stuff : )
I'm sorry to hear that your school aren't being very supportive mssleepyhead. They should be allowing you to take time off for midwife appointments and even your antenatal classes without question! I'm very lucky that my school has been helpful in this sense, however I can relate to the amount of pressure they pile on and it making you feel guilty when you can't fulfil your duties thoroughly.
My books aren't marked either and I've spent a lot of my time off sick marking at home, even my Maternity Leave will be taken up catching up on marking because I know it will just look bad when I'm gone.
Keep plodding on! You've done amazingly well to get this far. We can't get everything done in our job as it is, without the additionally job of growing a human at the same time.
Goodluck x
Hi Hasle, I know this is easy to say but you just need to forget about work and concentrate on you and baby. You were off on doctors advice, not skiving or anything else you should feel remotely guilty about. Some folk are always gonna moan when it is them that are put out, none of us can change that. You know what your top priorities are so you should stop putting pressure on yourself to do everything and please everyone. And relax...
I'm not in a high pressured job and luckily havent needed time off work ue to illness but I definitely have been made to feel guilty by one of my two bosses when I have to have time off for antenatal appointments etc. One says dont worry about it, you need time off to go to X, Y or Z then take it. Another makes me feel like I shouldnt even dare to say I need time off. Luckily, I see more of the first boss than the other. I'm also the only person who does my job and as such it means when I'm not in, there's no-one else around to cover me.
At the end of the day, you are only off because you need to be - through sickness or antenatal appointments - and have a legal right to be off for both. As long as you are doing your best, and you know you are doing your best, then buggar what anyone else thinks.
Don't feel guilt Hasle - but do be grateful (or at least pretend to show some).
I'm sure they won't really have minded - people know that pregnancies can be difficult. Just remember in future not to be too grumpy when you have to pick up someone else's slack.
Maybe buy them a big thank you card & cake... if they are anything like the teachers I know then they'll quickly forget any ill feeling when presented with something sweet

Sounds like you're doing brilliantly Sparkle! 3 weeks to go until those magic 6 weeks, I don't know how you've pulled through.
I think it can be difficult for some people to understand how difficult pregnancies can be Sisyphus, especially as they're all different or when others have not been pregnant before. I certainly had no idea until I became pregnant myself. I assumed the sickness just buggered off bang on week 12! Week 34 and I was sick twice yesterday! I appreciate all the help my department have given me and expressed it on numerous occasions, but it hasn't been received warmly unfortunately. Last time I returned to work after being off sick, I was ignored by 2 of my close colleagues for 2 days.
I'm also a teacher and in Senior Mgt. I'm currently 35 weeks and 2 days! My work have been fine. I wanted to stay until at the Year 11s had finished, our timetable rolled over this week and fortunately I have not been given a timetable. I have terrible carpal tunnel syndromw in both my wrists and driving is becoming difficult. The head has said I can go in later and work from home if required. I think my school,have been more sympathetic as I have had 5 recurrent miscarriages, so they understand the need for more antenatal checkups.
I'm not a teacher but worked in the nhs when I was pregnant. I had terrible pregnancies but a very supportive boss. I had to start mat leave earlier than expected due to complications so I left a fair bit of work that I couldn't do. I was ordered to have complete rest. I offered to do some work from home but my boss wouldn't hear of it and the department stepped up. I took loads on when I came back though and brought my boss some wine!
Anyway, the point is I felt incredibly guilty for colleagues and patients alike, however my baby and I were more important. Work will survive, look after yourself and your baby
I'm middle management, teaching and some other bits in a secondary.
Basically... what Sparkle said. Roll on the holidays
which will be a restful time of sorting out the baby's room, clinic appointments, paperwork... b
I work in a school as a HLTA, ELSA and LSA in a mixed and demanding role. I had a miscarriage last year and was also attacked on the way to work all within a few weeks. I took a total of four days off for the mc and a day spent with the police for the incident. I returned to work a little shaken but determined to be distracted and resilient on both occasions. Everyone was very impressed and I earned myself a pay rise in recognition for my hard work and regularly going beyond my role requirements.
I was lucky enough to fall pregnant a few months later in December since when I have had a huge amount of time off sick with morning sickness, exhaustion, being far too hormonal to pull myself together. It would be fair to say I have received little to no support from all but 2 of my colleagues in a large school. I have been reprimanded for absence due to pregnancy related illness (including time spent in hospital), taking breaks (not beyond the time I have unpaid for breaks but at times that meant I could rest and function for the rest of the day) and booking a single appointment during school hours as it was for an ecg. After weeks of feeling alienated by my colleagues and struggling through I have finally given up and allowed my doctor to sign me off sick after I projectile vomited just outside a classroom last week. I was told that I shouldn't be suffering with sickness any more (29 weeks) and that there would not be any adjustments made to my role to allow me to stay at work. I should "just get on with it".
I am really uncomfortable with my decision to stay home but I am very big for 29 weeks,experiencing regular, painful braxton hicks and hardly sleep. I just wasn't prepared to risk mine or the baby's health after trying 3 years to become a mum.
Everyone's experiences of pregnancy are different and it seems how they are treated vary massively too and that must effect how well you cope. If any one of my many managers had read the 81 page maternity rights document made freely available on the county website I think they'd understand how their lack of support was ultimately the reason I have "let everyone down" and not a lack of work ethic on my part.
Hope you feel easier about your situation. It took me a while.
Bugoven, I think it's a big damn horrible shame to hear your story. It shouldn't be happening. What strikes me, is that when you were doing your duties above and beyond their expectations, you were rewarded, yet at a time you were unable to do your job to the best of your ability for health reasons, you were alienated. It shouldn't be happening.
When I spoke to my HOD abo
ut my struggles with the workload and how I felt unable to offer extra tuition at lunch times, I was told 'that's the nature of the job.' He's young and still learning, it strikes me that HODs or members of senior management are given no HR training whatsoever? Some people can be good at their jobs but don't have good interpersonal skills! It took 2 weeks off sick for them to listen and help me manage the workload, but I was alienated as a result too.
I was regularly sick during lessons and would have to run out half way through, sometimes I'd wet myself in lessons due to repeated water infevtions and have to leave. I guess I wasnt able to do my job properly purely due to the fact that I wasnt providing students with a duty of care. But again, it wasnt really addressed until I made a point of it and ai dont feel my lack of being able to do my job properly was taken seriouslyenough.
In the teaching world, there's little empathy for teachers who are unable to perform their duties properly for reasons beyond their control. It's vile. The worst part for me, was feeling like I'd let my colleagues down, or being made to feel that way. I dont blame you for taking the time off, with the pressure of pregnancy, the pressure of teaching, who needs the pressure of feeling alienated in the workplace too?
Look after yourself and your baby x
Thanks Hasle for your kind words and support. I am starting to feel more and more sure of my decision as the days go by. I definitely would have struggled with at work with nausea today and yesterday plus didn't sleep properly at all last night. Really pleased to have put me and baby first and hope you are able to do the same without too much upset. Please remember you're not alone =) X

I feel exactly the same. I'm a secondary teacher too (Technology) and took a couple of weeks off during early pregnancy due to hyperemesis. I was back this term on and off for the first two weeks, and then managed two full weeks. I got pulled up yesterday for not getting one set of books marked whilst a marking scrutiny was taking place. I should have said that I'm pregnant, I've been off but thought my line manager should have known better and to at least cut me some slack (or I should have told them before that I won't be able to get everything done a week ago). I've been told that I need to get it all done by next week. I tried to work through it this evening and noticed that by the time I left work, my sugar levels went really low, it just didn't occur to me I had food in my locker, was so stressed about getting the marking done. I do find it a disgrace that as teachers, we're unable to have flexible working hours when pregnant. I've had a pounding headache everyday and paracetemol can't get rid of it, only a big meal in front of the TV. There's no actual place to rest as you're constantly on the go teaching, no break for 4 hours, don't even get time to piss. Counting down the days until I leave. As much as we'd like to put ourselves and our babies first, there will be people out there expecting us to just deal with it. I feel guilty and had a few comments about taking time off or getting pregnant, there's no pleasing everyone. Rant over. So glad there's other people to talk to on here in similar situations
Today was my last day at work officially before my maternity begins, I've been off sick for 2 weeks and I havent had so much as a 'get well soon' or a quick goodbye message from colleagues in my own department, just an email to confirm that my lessons will now be covered by the HOD until the end of the year. I feel so deflated. Thankfully, staff from other departments sent me a couple of nice messages instead.
I'm just so bloody disappointed in the lack of support and understanding I've received
Sorry to hear that Hasle157. Once your baby arrives, none of that rubbish at work will matter. Like people say, work will carry on without you. Put your feet up and enjoy. Work will be a million miles away. But agree with you totally, you can't help but feel disappointed about the way you've been treated. I'm contemplating whether to go back or not after mat leave. Don't think I can even face part-time.
Full time is a definite no for me too Doodles, I don't see how it could possibly work and I think once you've had negative experiences like this, it certainly makes you feel less passionate about a job you once loved. I guess the school loses out in that way.
Sod your books. Give yourself a do-able amount of working hours per day and stick to it. If the books aren't done, they're not done. Don't make yourself ill like I did. I did this, I worked 8-5 with a bit of give and take on busy/none busy days. Then I made myself exhausted again writing reports for an entire weekend and doing not a lot else.
Are you me, OP?
I'm second in English at a large comp with a department of 15. From week 7 of my pregnancy I got HG and then had periods of fainting from low blood pressure, countless water infections, severe anemia and was hospitalised 6 times in total for dehydration from the HG.
I managed 6 okayish weeks at work from week 28-34 but got very sick at the end when a water infection went to my kidneys. I felt incredibly guilty and like I had let everyone down but nothing I could have done. I'm 39 weeks now and know I couldn't have tried any harder or done any "better". My pregnancy just wasn't compatable with the high stress, high pressure, long hours of teaching. I know it creates a lot of extra work but it also have a nice long term cover a job and she's actually just become permenant as another member of staff left... So my suffering helped someone
I know it's easier said than done but don't dwell in it. Unfortunately it's just the case that a classroom is no place for a pregnant woman who's throwing up 6 times a day. No one could teach being that ill!

Lacrosse news straight to your inbox.
Friday August 15th, 2014 7:23am
(Inside Lacrosse Photo: Rich Barnes)
BOSTON — Major League Lacrosse announced Friday that Rochester Rattlers goalkeeper John Galloway has been named 2014 Warrior Goalkeeper of the Year, as voted by MLL coaches and general managers.
The four-season veteran goalkeeper for Rochester earned 11 first -lace votes, making Galloway the obvious choice for the Warrior Goalkeeper of the Year title. Behind Galloway, Denver's Jesse Schwartzman finished in second, followed in third by New York's Drew Adams both with two first-place votes.
"This is definitely an unexpected honor considering all the excellent goalies we compete against every week," Galloway said. "Individual accolades are great but it's been a team effort and it's all about getting Rochester back in the playoffs."
A starter in all 14 games for the Rattlers, Galloway led Rochester to a 10-4 record. The veteran finished the 2014 regular season with his best stats to date; he had an impressive and career-best 11.16 goals against average, he also recorded 194 saves, helping the Rattlers reach the playoffs for the first time since 2008. These numbers ranked Galloway first amongst all the MLL goalies.
"The defense and I came together as a unit especially thanks to coach Jacques Monte. Having players like Connor Lade, Will Koshansky, Joel White and Michael Manley in front of me makes my life a lot easier week in and week out," said Galloway.
Galloway was an integral part of the Rattlers' success this season, he has exempliefied the core values of the team both on and off the field and has been an invaluable help to 2014 Brine Coach of the Year Tim Soudan each week.
"Galloway has played like a superstar almost the whole season," Soudan said. "He is a great leader who also helps us with game planning. He has the innate ability to stay mentally prepared throughout the whole game and his award is well deserved."
John Galloway will be back in net for the Rochester Rattlers in the first semifinal game of the 2014 MLL season on Saturday, August 16, at 3:00 p.m. ET at Wegman's Stadium in Rochester.
The winner of that game will move on to the 2014 MLL Championship Game on Saturday, August 23 at 7 p.m., at Fifth Third Bank Stadium in Kennesaw, Ga.

Design and graphics for Chainz
Design and game graphics creation for casual game Chainz(for Alivest Software).
Site conception developed by X3 Imaginations always contains an idea. The idea of what your project will contain, what will be its essence, aim and how it will correlate with the corporate identity and company's image, whether it will fit well into the brand development strategy. It is obvious that the site can not exist separate from the corporate identity and not to bear company's ideas and follow the company's mission.
Our experience in development of design concepts ensures natural integration of a competent design into general idea of your brand development. The first step is a written description of the idea that passes preliminary approval with respect to correspondence to mission, aims, tasks and corporate identity of the company. Then our chief designer creates your site design according to the approved concept. The result of his work are finished website pages expressing design and style concept and containing perfect graphics and effects created under the guidance of real designer's talent.
Project from portfolio: Concept design for I.B.I.S. Inc.
We create as many design concept variants as your project needs. It shall be noted that a successful concept development takes account of its future content at the very beginning. That is why we ask our clients to prepare text, photos and other content elements for several site pages already on the design concept development stage. This allows to prevent situation when finished site filled with information looks different from the concept template.
Game design
User-friendly interface, well-thought architecture, individual characters, and fascinating landscapes are the essential components of any good game. Specialists of our web design studio will help you to make a really good game.
Game design includes several constituents:
Interface — is the part of any program that provides communication with user. Practically it is menu, submenu, buttons, icons, life levels, cursor, hot keys, and many other things allowing a player to control his character and the game as a whole.
We place the strictest demands on this development portion, thereby our clients' games have simple and intuitive interface that does not take up much time and pleases players. Good interface is the basis of a good game; in fact, modern players appreciate usability more than fine appearance.
Project from portfolio: Interface and concept design for on-line game Twinity (10K beta users)
Game architecture. It is endless passages, buildings, catacombs, destroyed bridges, ladders, beautiful halls and ugly caves, attics and basements, in other words, all the premises in which game processes takes place. Architecture development means not only fine rendering of all these, but also development of an architectural model non-contradicting to physical laws.
Moreover, we connect premises of different levels creating a uniform architectural ensemble for the game.
Development of 3D characters. Most of the time a player closely follows his game characters, so special requirements are set to them.
We will develop any character you need from a beautiful queen to an ugly monster, 3D modeling potential will make them most believable. We pay much attention to both main and secondary characters, because we understand that such details contribute to the general impression made by any game.
We undertake comprehensive design implementation of your idea and guarantee the high quality of the result. You can feel certain that we direct all our energy to your game design as we work on one project at a time, your project.

Transforming Central Indiana with

- It means making sure everyone is included in our efforts to push Central Indiana forward, giving more families the resources they need to achieve self-sufficiency.
- It means creating a place where more people are homeowners, college graduates, and successful professionals or business owners.
- It means making our neighborhoods and communities beautiful, vibrant, and attractive places for both current and future residents.
- Finally, it means bolstering the area's intellectual capacity, positioning us to compete with other neighboring regions for decades down the road.
It takes more than financial resources to achieve these goals. It also takes leadership. That's why CICF launched three community leadership initiatives, each one designed to allow us to use our resources for maximum impact. Learn about them below.

Your Daily Squee: A Baby Zonkey Was Just Born In Italy!
You guys, I'd like you to meet Ippo the baby zonkey, which is exactly what it sounds like: a donkey/zebra hybrid. Ippo was born a few days ago at an animal reserve in Florence, Italy, after her zebra dad climbed over a fence to get busy with her donkey mom (ahh, romance!). Remember when Gillian Jacobs told us that her personal theme song is "Dominick the Italian Christmas Donkey"? Pretty sure it's time for an updated version: "Ippo the Italian Summer Zonkey." Ippo is currently the only zonkey in Italy, which seems like something to celebrate. Salute! [ABC News]

I am freaking out. I had resty injected 4 months ago in the folds around my mouth - conservative amount - 1 syringe total. I went back today for a touch up because I thought I needed a bit more. I think Dr. went way overboard! I kept saying, "not too much"...she said it looked great. Ugh, I look like a freak.
I hope it's swelling, but I dont think it is all swelling...seriously, what do I do? I've been massaging it, but maybe that's not a good idea? What now? I cannot go in public. My husband is out of town til Friday so that is why I did this now.

The town won a contest to host the premiere of the film, beating 13 other places with the same name in the US in an online vote.
A yellow carpet was in place for the premiere, where Simpsons creator Matt Groening met with eager fans.
Groening said to around 2,000 fans in the town centre: "As Homer would say, 'woo hoo'."
Just over 9,000 people live in Springfield, but it got more than 15,000 votes to win the contest, just ahead of Springfield, Illinois.
The show is set in a fictional Springfield because Groening spotted that it was one of the most common place-names in the US.
The film is in cinemas now.

Hewlett-Packard Co. (HP) updated a number of products for the small and medium-size business (SMB) customer Thursday, adding a new notebook to its product line and specific services for the SMB market, it said in a press release.
The new Compaq Business Notebook nx9010 is a desktop-replacement model that comes with an integrated chip from Broadcom Corp. based on the draft 802.11g wireless standard. That standard, slated for final approval by the Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers Inc. later this year, can send data at rates up to 54M bps (bits per second), and is compatible with products based on the more widely used 802.11b standard.
The notebook comes in three configurations. The base model features a 2.0GHz desktop Celeron processor from Intel Corp., 256M bytes of DDR (double data rate) SDRAM (synchronous dynamic RAM), a 30G-byte hard drive, a 15-inch display, and a DVD-ROM/CD-RW drive for US$1,099. HP expects that more customers will opt for the preconfigured model with 802.11g, which comes with a 2.66GHz Pentium 4 processor, 512M bytes of DDR SDRAM, a 60G-byte hard drive, a 15-inch display, and the DVD-ROM/CD-RW drive for $1,549.
The nx9010 is available immediately through HP's SMB resellers and can be ordered online. Customers can add additional memory and peripherals through the resellers and HP's Web site.
HP also moved to shore up its reseller partners with new services. The Palo Alto, California, company will create the partnerOne SMB network for resellers that work closely with smaller businesses.
Those resellers will provide targeted services for products such as the new nx9010 notebook, as well as other products across HP's lineup for SMB customers. The services will be bundled into what HP is calling a Care Pack, which allows customers to pick support levels and product coverage for their IT infrastructure based on their needs.

With Just Days To Go To Their Title Clash Dan Hardy Comments On Chad Reiner
Following on from the previous bout of barracking aimed at Dan Hardy when he was first scheduled to fight Chad Reiner in the US back in March, the news of the upcoming World Welterweight bout on April 19th has clearly spread back to the States where the latest round of insults have come verbally and pictorially in an attempt to unnerve the UK Welterweight.
Earlier this week, Reiner commented on the war of words and said 'I think Dan is a great opponent for me and I'm really excited to fight my first fight in Europe. I have only fought outside the U.S. once and that was in Canada, so I am looking forward to showing the European spectators my respect and discipline both inside and outside of the ring. I am hoping to put on a good show for everyone and it is only a loss to me, if I let the true fans down.'
'I am a big believer in being truly humble and I'm totally averse to any trash talking - there is a difference between being cocky and having confidence. Some people have told me that Dan has talked trash about me, while others believe that I have talked bad about him - well, I can honestly say I have never talked trash about Dan or any other opponent. When I met Dan in Florida, he was totally respectful'.
Hardy responded 'When I met Chad in Florida, he was respectful and I have no bad feelings towards him personally but this Saturday night is strictly business. When someone steps into the cage with me they better be ready because I'm throwing everything with bad intentions and unfortunately he has some mouthy friends, so there will be a little extra venom in there for them too.'
Since the match was announced, there has been a war of words between the two camps, noticeably from the corners and friends of the fighters and this has led to Cage Warriors FC to take the extraordinary step of cancelling Hardy's scheduled fight with Mattias Awad in order to get this issue cleared up once and for all. To add to the excitement, the fight has now been set to run over 5 x 5 minute rounds in the bid for the vacant World Welterweight title on April 19th.
So. the stage is set for these two welterweight contenders to battle it out for the Cage Warriors Fighting Championship World Welterweight Belt at the Harvey Hadden Sports Centre on Saturday April 19th. 'The Harvey Hadden venue is perfect for Mixed Martial Arts Events as the greater Nottingham area has more martial arts gyms per head than anywhere else in the UK' commented Tony McDonagh, Commercial Director of Cage Warriors FC, 'the overwhelming support from fans of the sport in this area will ensure we keep coming back to host fights and to support the array of gyms who are training aspiring fighters to take part in the sport.'
McDonagh added 'Demand is so great that we have even added an afternoon card for amateur Junior fighters to gain valuable experience inside the Cage and to show that MMA has been evolving into a recognized sport and not the 'no-holds barred' spectacle it has been portrayed as in the past'
The event, titled Enter the Rough House 6 (so named after the Team Rough House/Bushido MMA Gym) will be hosting 12 bouts of premium MMA action featuring; Ian 'M16' Butlin, 'Judo' Jimmy Wallhead, Andre Winner, Dean Amasinger and many local favourites.
Guest VIP's at the event include the British Cruiserweight Champion, Mark Hobson who will be speaking about MMA along with UFC Fighter, Ross 'The Gladiator' Pointon plus the 1st XV of Leicester Tigers RFC.
Standard seating tickets will be available on the door from 2.00pm on Saturday afternoon when Cage Warriors FC will be hosting a Junior MMA competition until the main event begins at 6.30pm.

I know that it can be very inconvenient for you not to have your vacuum working properly. While you are waiting for an expert to respond I was able to locate some great information that could possibly assist you with your issue. I have added the link below. Hope this helps!
AnneJ, January 23, 2013
I know that it can be very frustrating to have issues with your vacuum brush assembly. There are several parts that can cause this type of problem. Since you have already replace the belt and cleaned the head, I would suggest that you check the sprocket for wear and tear. This can cause the belt to slip, which will cause it to stop working. Also check the pulley on the motor first. If this is worn, it will cause the same problem. If these parts are okay, then replace the motor. I hope this helps.

Featured Business
|Patti Santrizos makes another perfect latté
Their commitment to quality and local suppliers led them to Longbottom Coffee & Tea Co., which is headquartered in Hillsboro. Patti says, "We knew Longbottom was excellent and wanted to support local business. They did our training at their roasting company and continue to be very hands-on with us as we grow. We purchased our Semonelli Espresso machine from them and it digitally tells us if we pour a perfect shot. We rely on this wonderful machine to do justice to Longbottom's superb coffee. People tell us they can tell the difference in our coffee so we know we have made the right choice."
She continues, "We use top of the line Monin syrups in our coffee and Italian sodas. It does make a difference once you taste it. We have a large selection of regular and sugar-free flavors. If we don't have what you want let us know and we will do our best to get it for you." Italian sodas and smoothies along with regular sodas and brewed coffee round out their beverage offerings.
Now that they've been around for a while, they're getting customers who don't actually need any home improvement products! They're becoming a popular destination for the employees of the Science Park companies and beyond. Unlike most hot dog stands, they have a phone and are happy to take phone orders and they can take credit cards. They're eventually planning to do some catering once they've become better known.
The stand is very attractively done up in their signature colors of red and tan, featuring the Diva herself, a creation that was a collaboration between the partners and the professionals at Impact Signs, who turned their sketch into a finished design.
There's plenty of seating out front if you want to eat there and watch the contractors come and go. Or they'll package your selection so it stays warm and fresh until you get where you're going. Attention to detail is obvious in everything they do, from the quality and flavor of the food and drinks to the packaging and design.
Patti and Linda love working together, even after all the pressure involved in starting a business, and their skills are complementary. Linda says, "We each have different skills that seem to work together. I have a great love of food and have always wanted to own my own business. I love cooking and I like having everything look as good as it can. Patti is really good in organization. She can fit an elephant into a jar and it looks great. We both enjoy working with the public and have been very fortunate to meet some really great people."
One of their biggest challenges has just been to anticipate what customers will want. Patti explains, "Our Clam Chowder is a big hit and we now serve it on a daily basis due to the many requests for it. The Coney Dog is another popular choice. We have a Jalapeño Cheddar which couldn't get any better and does sell out before the end of the day at times. Our most popular hot dog is probably the All American, 1/4 lb. skinless pure beef kosher, no nitrates nor MSG like all of our hot dogs." They say that the milder bratwurst "Queen of Brats" sandwich is more popular in the morning as a breakfast sandwich.
They joined the Cedar Mill Business Association and started advertising in the News to get the word out about their great food. Linda says, "We just need to get people over to try one of our hot dogs. Those who have tried one say they have never had a more delicious hot dog in their lives. After four and a half months, we still have one everyday! They are really hard to stay away from, being so full of flavor and being Kosher means no funny stuff just pure beef, how great is that?!"
Linda lives nearby in Bauer Woods, but Patti commutes from her home in Dundee. She loves the Cedar Mill area, but her family lives in wine country, and she and her husband of 39 years designed and built their home together.
Diva Dogs is open every day from 10 am to 4 pm (winter hours) and is located right in front of Home Depot on Science Park Drive. Call them at 503-643-3482 to order your lunch or find out more about their offerings.

Debbie Stabenow Visits Cabela's to Talk About Asian Carp Threat
Michigan US Senator Debbie Stabenow meets with conservation groups at the Cabela's store in Grandville at 10:30 this morning to encourage more action against the threat of Asian Carp invading the Great Lakes.
She said the eight proposals the government outlined last week "are not yet developed enough to allow work on those projects to begin."
The groups hope to encourage more public comment on the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers' proposals to address the threat.

The Microsoft JDBC driver is failing to connect to a SQL Server 2012 Express database via TCP/IP, but the jTDS driver is succeeding against the exact same database. See forum post http://social.msdn.microsoft.com/Forums/en-US/sqldataaccess/thread/0d7b1129-7efc-427b-9115-303cab0315c1 for discussion. For your convenience, here's a copy as well: This is weird. I'm on a Mac OS X 10.7.5 64-bit host running VirtualBox 4.2.6. I've got a Windows 7 SP1 guest (64-bit) with bridged networking running Microsoft SQL Server Express 2012. I configured SQL Server to use TCP/IP on port 1433, not dynamic ports (setting is blank, not 0). The Windows 7 guest has IPv4 address 192.168.99.132 and Windows Firewall is turned off. I downloaded the Microsoft SQL Server 2012 JDBC driver (sqljdbc4.jar) along with Squirrel SQL client 3.4.0 for both Windows and Mac. When I run Squirrel on the Windows 7 guest OS itself, I can connect to SQL Server just fine via the Microsoft JDBC driver using the machine names of either "winny", "localhost", or "192.168.99.132" (JDBC URLs like jdbc:sqlserver://winny\SQLEXPRESS:1433;databaseName=vha). However, when I try to connect to SQL Server from Squirrel on the Mac via the IP address 192.168.9.132 (can't resolve "winny"), I get an exception (see stack trace below). Here's the weird part. If, from the Mac host, I use the jTDS SQL Server driver (version 1.2.7 because I'm using JDK6, so can't use jTDS 1.3.0 -- that version is JDK7 only), I connect right away with both of the JDBC URLs jdbc:jtds:sqlserver://192.168.99.132:1433/vha;instance=SQLEXPRESS or jdbc:jtds:sqlserver://192.168.99.132:1433/vha. Any ideas why the Microsoft driver fails but jTDS succeeds from a remote host? And yes, I've tried the Microsoft URL with and without the instance name. Java version on the Mac host is: java version "1.6.0_37" Java(TM) SE Runtime Environment (build 1.6.0_37-b06-434-11M3909) Java HotSpot(TM) 64-Bit Server VM (build 20.12-b01-434, mixed mode) Java version on the Windows 7 guest is: java version "1.6.0_35" Java(TM) SE Runtime Environment (build 1.6.0_35-b10) Java HotSpot(TM) 64-Bit Server VM (build 20.10-b01, mixed mode) Stack trace when connecting from Mac host to Windows 7 guest is in "Actual Results" of this bug report.

Cheryl Burke's Bikini Week Continues (PHOTOS)
Burke, who's living it up in the Dominican Republic this week, once again had a photographer document her waltz down the beach. This time around, she opted for a patterned bikini in lieu of a solid.
Just days ago, Burke opened up to People about how a set of 2008 paparazzi photographs led to some people questioning her weight, which devastated her. She vented:
"One night I was supposed to go out with my friends but I couldn't do it. Every time someone looked at me I was like, 'That person thinks I'm fat."
Nowadays though, Burke has gotten more comfortable in her own skin. She says that while "there are moments when I'm like, 'Ugh – the camera adds 10 lbs … as I work up a sweat and eat clean, I'm okay. I feel great about my body."

COUNCILLORS have opted to spend £16,000 on ten speed bumps for Beaconsfield – but the sleeping policemen will remain in storage until residents have been consulted.
The bumps are likely to be installed in Holtspur Top Lane, where residents have long called for increased safety measures.
But they will have to be stored until a formal consultation is completed, Beaconsfield Town Council heard last week.
The decision to go ahead with the purchase followed a warning from county councillor Adrian Busby that any delay could lead to the funding being lost.
Bucks County Council allocates funds for transport projects to local bodies, but these must be spent within a time limit.
Councillors previously considered building a chicane, but this was unpopular with residents. They also looked at installing 'inflatable' bumps, which deflate if the driver is within the legal limit, but this was rejected by transport chiefs.
Cllr Busby said Holtspur Top Lane would need to be resurfaced before the five sets of bumps are installed, adding this was his 'top priority' for the year.
But the bumps could be sold back to the county's transport department if the public were not in favour of the plan, he said.

The Corinne Wolfe Children's Law Center, through generous funding from the J.F. Maddox Foundation, will be partnering with the National Judicial College (NJC) and the New Mexico Judicial Education Center to offer a Children and the Law course in late 2012. The two-day course will be presented to 25 judges who preside in children's court cases in New Mexico state and tribal courts.
The foundation, based in Lea County, is "proud to support this effort that will benefit not only New Mexico judges, but also the children and families they serve," said Don Maddox, a former New Mexico state district judge and a member of the Board of Directors of the Maddox Foundation.
The Maddox Foundation has previously supported the center's training efforts, providing funding in 2000 for the center to deliver training on effective child advocacy for CASA and CRB Volunteers.
"The Children's Law Center is very pleased about this collaboration and about the Maddox Foundation's generosity," said Beth Gillia (`97), the center's director. "Grant funding like this allows the center to provide cost-effective, high quality judicial education programs specifically to in-state children's court judges."

With President Obama's recent suggestion that the penny be retired, there has been considerable talk of whether physical money--coins and paper bills--is necessary in society anymore. However, while plastic cards are certainly a more efficient method of transaction, some are even going so far as to say that credit and debit cards should also be done away with.
The logical question then is: how would people buy and sell things without actual money?
The answer is Biocryptology.
The science is a mix of biometrics, which uses physical traits for identification, and cryptology, or the study of encoding private information. The idea of using Biocryptology to distinguish an account holder from an identity thief is something that sounds so futuristic it is likely to come from the minds at MIT or Silicon Valley, right?
Wrong--Rapid City school, a small, remote state college in South Dakota is the current location of the world's first experiments in Biocryptology, believe it or not.
At Rapid City's School of Mines and Technology campus, the students involved in Biocryptology are dialed in on the science behind identification, and work diligently to bring this high-concept to reality.
"South Dakota is a place where people take risks," said Joseph Wright, the school's associate VP for research-economic development. "We're very entrepreneurial."
The students are unfazed by their being the first to break ground in this field, said Brian Wiles, a Miles mechanical engineering major that has been involved in the beta testing of the new technology.
"There was some hesitation, but the fact that it's the first in the world--that's the whole point of this school. We're innovators."
So what makes this idea so innovative, when fingerprint technology is far from new?
Well, for one, the students at Rapid City school are not your average college-kids. If mechanical engineering major Bernard Keeler wants a soda, for instance, he goes into the Miner's Shack campus shop, types his birthdate into a keypad, and swipes not a card, but his finger.
The machine is then able to identify that Keeler is in fact Keeler by the print (and confirm that there is an actual blood-filled finger beneath the scanner) and adds his purchase to his student account.
This transaction happens all within a matter of seconds, and afterward an e-receipt is sent to the student's smartphone.
This situation is not hypothetical, but is the reality of life at Rapid City in South Dakota, where the students are thinking ten steps ahead of modern technology.
Scanning sodas is obviously not all that Biocryptology can be used for, however, and those working on the technology at the school envision a future better-equipped for security breaches, and more efficient when it comes to money-transfer. After beta-testing finishes up in the secluded town in South Dakota, Biocryptology will likely travel out-of-state and become a more mainstream method of identity verification.

Latest question:
How do you think the new GigE standards will influence the machine vision industry?
Respond or ask your question now!
Miller says this new generation of detectors has stirred excitement in the gamma-ray imaging community, particularly in the context of small-animal SPECT. These detectors offer sub-100 μm resolutions, an order-of-magnitude higher than conventional scintillation-based gamma cameras. His responsibility includes prototype detector design and development, acquisition and processing software development, and imaging aperture design and fabrication.
�It�s the first of its kind,� he explains. �What�s novel is the image intensifier. It amplifies low light levels. At the end, it gives you [better] resolution.
�We take a radioactive atom, attach it to a protein or drug and inject it. It gets trapped in the body and is a non-invasive way of seeing. In the case of cancer, it goes to the tumor. The tumor processes the cell and the cell emits gamma rays. They�re like x-rays that come from the body. We can see if the tumor absorbs it. We have to be able to form images�radioactive forms�so we use pinholes to form the image. We block all the gamma rays except through the pinhole. Gamma rays are basically high-energy lights.�
SPECT imaging needs an array of pinholes as small as 200 microns, which are made of platinum. The holder needs to be made of a very dense metal, like lead, to block all the pinholes except those needed for a particular experiment. The Arizona lab uses tungsten and an epoxy to reach the density of lead. The custom molds are created with a 3D printer. The process allows multiple parts to be fabricated from a single mold.
In addition to small-animal SPECT imaging with the BazookaSPECT detector, Miller and his colleagues have investigated methods and applications that take advantage of the detector�s superb intrinsic resolution. This had led to development of a gamma-ray microscope based on micro-coded apertures. In pinhole imaging, ultimately the limiting factor in system resolution is the pinhole diameter. A smaller pinhole will result in higher resolution but at the expense of collection efficiency. It has been shown that near-field coded aperture imaging, with applications in small-animal SPECT, can be used to provide high-spatial resolution imaging with high collection efficiency. The team implemented near-field coded aperture techniques, scaled to utilize the resolution of BazookaSPECT, and demonstrated planar reconstructions having resolutions of 30μm; an unprecedented resolution for gamma-ray imaging. This experiment was achieved with the use of a platinum disk having 480 25 μm diameter pinholes.

Play off winners could claim Champions Cup jackpot
European rugby officials are expected to give the sign-off later this week to a new version of the Heineken Cup with a play-off system that could be worth about £1 million to the winner.
The Champions Cup will have 20 teams, with the twentieth place in the competition effectively a jackpot for the team who come through the four-strong play-offs to qualify. Financially, it means there could be greater gains to be had from finishing seventh in the Aviva Premiership than sixth.
The news means an end to the long and damaging civil war in European rugby. Heads of agreement documents are set to be signed this week on a structure that was largely agreed at a meeting in Paris yesterday.

I stopped into my bank this morning, which is working to make EVERYTHING more inconvenient, like recently changing their 7:30am - 7pm hours to 9am-6pm (the whole reason I signed on with them was so I wouldn't have to do my banking during work hours). My friends all complain about their banks, too. So it got me thinking, were banks EVER any good???
I found this old TV spot on You Tube, and in one respect, banks used to be better. Back then they actually made loans and encouraged you to take one. Instead of today, when you have to do everything short of genetic testing to qualify for a loan.
Take a look. The '60s era black-and-white animation is kind of campy. And the message harkens back to the golden age of advertising when marketers would find (sometimes make up) some sort of malady or problem (in this case, "money-jitters") and solve it with their product (in this case, loans).
Happy Friday.

PLANS to build a solar farm in Overton have been criticised by a parish councillor.
Luminous Energy and Belectric's plans to create a solar farm on 17 acres of land at Lordsfield Plantation were discussed by members of Overton Parish Council at its latest meeting.
Councillor Colin Fowels said: "I think that the whole thing is horrible – it is in the wrong place."
He reminded the meeting that residents have until July 22 to comment on the plans.
The application states that the solar panels will be no more than 3.5m high and will face south. The farm could provide enough energy for 995 homes.
After the meeting, Cllr Peter Baker said he also thought that the proposed farm is in the wrong location as he believes it is too close to where two Overton residents live.
He added: "Renewable energy is absolutely vital because of environmental reasons but this application goes against the recommendations of the solar panel watchdog, which states it should not be next door to people's houses."

Bush to Give More Aid to Palestinian Chief (AP) By BARRY SCHWEID WASHINGTON 02/02/05 9:08 PM)
Source: http://www.washingtonpost.com/wp-dyn/articles/A58757-2005Feb2.html
AP} ASSOCIATED PRESS Articles-Index-Top
WASHINGTON - Eager to help Mideast peacemaking and combat Palestinian poverty, President Bush is preparing to seek hundreds of millions of dollars to upgrade security forces and support the Palestinian economy.
Training needs to be improved, and for peacemaking with Israel to have a chance the Palestinians need more jobs and better facilities, Bush administration officials have concluded as Secretary of State Condoleezza Rice prepares to visit the region early next week.
Edward Abington, a former U.S. consul-general in Jerusalem who is a consultant to the Palestinians, estimated Wednesday that Bush and Rice were prepared to be generous in dealing with a "financial crisis" on the West Bank and in Gaza.
Abington, in an interview, said $50 million that has already approved by Congress would be devoted to programs to create jobs. Up to $150 million, he said, would be sought from Congress in the current fiscal year for general assistance to the Palestinians, and another $75 million would come from other funds. Additionally, diplomatic sources, declining to be identified, said another $100 million would be provided from United Nations relief efforts.
Election of a new leader, Mahmoud Abbas, to succeed Yasser Arafat, who died in November, has generated support from Israel and the United States.
Egypt on Wednesday summoned the leaders of Israel, the Palestinians and Jordan to a summit meeting next week, and they agreed to attend.
Rice, meanwhile, is due in Israel late Sunday after stops in Europe for talks with allied and other leaders. Over about 24 hours she plans to confer separately with Israeli Prime Minister Ariel Sharon and with Abbas. She had no plans to attend the four-nation summit talks in Egypt.
"In many ways, the visit itself is the message," Abington said.
"The Palestinians will want to hear the details of what the U.S. is going to do in concrete ways to rebuild their security services and to deal with their desperate economic situation," he said.
Bush devoted part of his State of the Union speech Wednesday night to his hopes for Mideast peacemaking. He was expected to ask Congress for $350 million for the Palestinians; $225 million of that appears to be new money.
Rice said Monday that peace was impossible unless the Palestinians gained a state of their own that satisfies their aspirations. She also said statehood was "within our grasp."
The Europeans immediately welcomed her remarks. John Bruton, head of the European Commission in Washington, said Tuesday it was a very important statement.
European leaders have been urging Bush to assume a larger role in the Arab-Israeli conflict. Their general view is that unless Israel yields to Palestinian demands, anti-U.S. sentiment in the Arab world will not subside. That message is bound to be conveyed to Rice as she makes her way through European capitals before flying to Israel.
Edward S. Walker, president of the Middle East Institute, said, "I definitely hear something new in there."
"She thinks there are going to be benefits for the U.S. interests and for the president´s democracy agenda," the former U.S. ambassador to Egypt and Israel said in an interview.
Referring to the Abbas-led Palestinians, Walker said: "This is possibly going to be an even better example than Iraq in developing democracy. The Palestinians have a better shot."
Shibley Telhami, of the University of Maryland, said, "Given there have been positive events, it is almost certain that she would want to signal this is going to be an important issue for her and for the United States."
Telhami, in an interview, said, "People are going to listen to see if there are substantive positions besides promises for an American diplomatic initiative."
But already, the veteran analyst said, "Her position on a Palestinian state in recent days has been far more clear than the administration has provided in the past." (Copyright 2005 Associated Press. 02/02/05)

Does the 500 error return any message in the body? You may be able to capture this using tcpdump. It may give a clue as to what's going on. If you are using CouchRest, the RestClient exception raised hides this body by default, but it is possible to capture it. Try something like this: begin ... rescue RestClient::ExceptionWithResponse => e resp = e.response STDERR.puts "#{resp.code} #{resp.message} #{resp.body}" end Also look in the couchdb log, usually under /usr/local/var/log/couchdb/, to see if there's any detail in there.

"The first thing needed for innovation is a fascination with wonder," says Dawna Markova, author of "The Open Mind" and an executive change consultant for Professional Thinking Partners. "But we are taught instead to 'decide,' just as our president calls himself 'the Decider.' " She adds, however, that "to decide is to kill off all possibilities but one. A good innovational thinker is always exploring the many other possibilities."
