Does cold make spasticity worse? I seem to be experiencing a lot of muscle pain "everywhere." The weather just got cold enough to bring out the woolens. I find that my symptoms get worse in spring and fall, especially when there is a very sharp change in temperature.READ MORE
Can cold weather cause muscle cramps?
Hi hmking4,
I'm sure you found an answer to this question long ago, but I wanted to chime in anyway.
A lot of people with MS find that their spasticity is worse in cold weather. Hot weather, too, is associated with a worsening of some symptoms (blurred vision after a hot shower, for example).
Have you found any effective ways to deal with the changes brought on by weather? Come back and share your tips if you have a moment.
All the best,
Yep I am in total agreement. My bones do not ache as much until the seasons decide to change. Now that it is getting ready to go from hot to cold the knees are starting to hurt some. I have more pain in my knees than anything else. They get really stiff also, my back gives me problems every now and then, not often though. But the old knees are another story, which makes if hard to walk sometimes, but I make it some how. I refuse to give in to spasticity! Ben gay and Tiger Balm are my best friends. A good cologene will cover the smell, trust me. sherry/smomdukesREAD MORE
I Must ask, " How to you feel in Hawaii while visiting ?"
I mentioned I do best in moderate stable weather, so I don't know how I would feel in Phoenix.
The hot, stormy southeast increases my spasticity.
I have found Klonopin, Neurontin and some diazepam very helpful, prescribed by my Neurologist.
I have found few physicians who know spasticity treatment, other than baclophen, which does not work for me.
So.. I would visit the desert and the moderate climates, as you can, and see where you do best !!

I have only found a handful of people who have trouble with their MS in cold weather. It also makes my spasticity worse,brings on my pain, usually have relapsed in fall/spring when the weather changes.The cold makes me go numb.The cold can actually bring me to tears, its like it goes in my spine. I know that sounds very strange but we all know how hard it is to describe our ms symptoms
I was in Arizona last year. It was soooo hot, and let me tell you, it felt soooo good. No pain, no spasticity, I felt renewed!!
Husband's military so we've move around quite a bit and have only met around 15-20 people or so people who experience the same with the cold/hot weather. I've also noticed that the people whom I met, including myself, who like the heat/hate the cold had less of a disablitly.
Its something I think they need to study.
I've had ms for 15 yrs(this month) and one of the things I love to do is ride my bike in hot weather. Makes my legs feel great!!READ MOREYou should know Answers to your question are meant to provide general health information but should not replace medical advice you receive from a doctor.

Now that you have a Mosquito Magnet, the important thing, other than placing and using it correctly, is to properly maintain it. Just like anything with moving parts, it must be cared for in order to keep it working the way it's supposed to. There's no sense in making an investment in your family's comfort and safety, and then letting it languish unattended. Before starting your trap for the first time after a winter break, follow a few simple procedures to ensure it functions to its fullest potential, and protects your outdoor living area as well as possible.
Remove Storage Cover Edit
Assuming that when you put it away for the winter, you covered it with a Mosquito Magnet cover to keep it protected, remove that cover to let the trap air out. It must be completely dry before you start it up again. If it was stored in a damp area, such as a basement or tool shed, and there's any concern of lingering moisture, set the trap out in full sun for a couple of days. This will help dry up any moisture, and make starting the trap much easier.
Attach Regulator Hose Edit
When you stored your Mosquito Magnet for the winter, you would have detached the regulator hose that runs from the propane tank to the trap mechanism. Before starting your trap, you must reattach the hose. Ensure it's securely attached so that no gas can escape.
Clear Fuel Line Edit
Mosquito Magnet traps manufactured from 2003 on are equipped with a Quick-Clear valve. It's used to keep the fuel line clear of propane contaminant build-up. These contaminants can block the flow of propane, preventing the trap from working properly, and even causing the trap to fail altogether. Using the Quick-Clear on a regular basis will ensure the fuel line is kept clear, and that your Mosquito Magnet trap continues to function properly. It is also recommended as preventive maintenance, and not just for when shutting down and restarting your trap for mosquito season.
Install Net and Attractant Edit
Each season, install a new mosquito net and a new attractant cartridge. Even if the net isn't full, using new accessories will ensure the trap works at optimum levels so that it attracts and traps the highest number of mosquitoes possible.
Turning It On Edit
After you have cleared the fuel line, installed a new net, and replaced the attractant cartridge, turn the propane tank on. Follow the startup instructions included with the trap, which you would have followed the first time you used it.
Once the trap is up and running, you can enjoy your outdoor living areas relatively worry-free. Just remember you must also perform preventive maintenance during mosquito season, and this maintenance should be performed on a regular schedule. If you need help with Mosquito Magnet repair contact the 360° Customer Support Center at (800) 953-5737 or bring your trap to a Certified Service Center.
Mosquitoes are at their most active during the summer. Their lifespan is short. Most species live about two weeks. During this short time, the female will produce an "egg raft" which contains anywhere from 100 to 400 eggs. Yes, just one mosquito can produce more than 400 offspring. Many mosquitoes fall victim to birds, spiders, and other predators, but the ones that remain, the ones that pose a threat to you and your family, will also mate, each producing another few hundred, and so on. This is why it's imperative to keep your Mosquito Magnet running properly through regular maintenance.
For optimum mosquito control, it's best to run the trap 24 hours a day, 7 days a week. At this rate, the propane tank and attractant cartridge should last 21 days, so it's necessary to perform maintenance every 21 days.
- First, refill the propane tank. It's best to have an authorized propane dealer refill the tank for you.
- Before reinstalling the tank, detach the regulator hose from the tank, or use the reset tool to ensure there's no pressure built up in the regulator. This is also a good time to use the Quick-Clear Valve to ensure the fuel line is clear.
- Install a new mosquito net and attractant cartridge. Even if it doesn't look like the net has caught many mosquitoes, it can still become clogged with pollen, dust, and dirt, which will obstruct airflow, and will keep the trap from working efficiently.
- Both during this 21-day maintenance, and periodically during the month, wipe the outside of the trap down with a damp—not wet—cloth.
If you need a reminder of what to do and how often to perform maintenance on your trap, you may print this easy-to-use Mosquito Magnet maintenance schedule.
Properly maintaining your Mosquito Magnet, following a regular schedule, and taking these precautions before starting it up every season will keep the trap running smoothly for years to come, and will keep you, your family, and your pets comfortable.

Sacha Inchi – Plunkentia volubilis linneo
History and Traditional Uses of Sacha Inchi
The Sacha Inchi plant has been known by the natives of Peru and other indigenous people of the Amazon basin for several thousand years. In fact, historians believe the plant was used by pre-Incas and the Incas over 3000 years ago, which is evident from the interpretation of the plant on vessels in Incan tombs. Chancas Indians and other tribal groups of the region extract oil from the seeds which is used for the preparation of various meals. Roasted seeds and cooked leaves are also an important component of their diets.
Sacha means "looks like" and Inchi means "nut."
What is Sacha Inchi?
Sacha Inchi (Plukenetia volubilis linneo) is a perennial vine that is indigenous to the Peruvian Amazon Forest. Growing up to 2 meters, it produces small, green, star-shaped pods. Plants are said to have a long production time, with some producing year after year for decades. There have been plants found that have been producing for 75 years. The production time is also increased due to harvests throughout the year.
The pods are inedible fruit. Generally the pods are left to dry on the vine before being harvested. The seeds are then harvested from the pods after the fruit has dried. The raw seeds must be lightly roasted with low heat before being consumed. While also known as Inca Peanuts, Mountain Nuts or Inca Nuts, they are actually seeds and not nuts.
Cold-pressed from these seeds is an extremely rich, high quality and nutritious oil. The pulp is a by-product used commonly for soap, bread, flour, feed for fish and cattle and in the cosmetics industry.
How is the oil made?
The Sacha Inchi seed has a high oil content – more than 50%. The oil is extracted by simple cold pressing and does not require refining. The introduction of high heat to the process of making the oils can degrade the flavor, nutritional value, and color.
Why should I use Sacha Inchi?
Valued as a superfood, Sacha Inchi contains a high concentration of polyunsaturated fatty acids, making it an excellent source for Omega 3 (alpha-linolenic acid) and Omega 6 (linoleic acid). It has a naturally higher concentration of essential fatty acids (approximately 90%), with 48% being Omega-3, 33% Omega-6 and 9% non-essential Omega-9. Sacha Inchi is one of the highest plant sources of omega-3 essential fatty acids known. Sacha Inchi is the perfect supplement for people that do not eat fish or enough Omega-rich vegetables.
Sacha Inchi is also rich in protein, fiber, antioxidant Vitamins A (Beta Carotene) and Vitamin E (Alpha-Tocopherol).
Sacha Inchi is highly digestible (96%). It contains no additives, preservatives or cholesterol.
What does it look and taste like?
Sacha Inchi oil has a distinctive, delicious flavor, and aroma. With no additives or preservatives, our oil boasts a vibrant yellow color with a mild flavor with a nutty finish. The seeds have a crisp nutty flavor.
How do I use it?
The oil can be used for spreading over salads, or lightly seasoning vegetables. It can also be used to make delicious marinades. It is similar to olive oil, but with a lighter taste. The oil is not suitable for cooking as heat destroys the omega 3.
The seeds can be eaten as a snack, or add them to your favorite recipes.
Why are Omegas important to me?
Sacha Inchi contains two very important essential fatty acids (also known as polyunsaturated fats): alpha-linolenic acid (ALA), an omega-3 fatty acid and linoleic acid (LA), an omega-6 fatty acid. The human body is incapable of producing these fatty acids. They must be consumed from our diet. Both types offer health benefits.
Studies link omega-3s to a wide range of health improvements including maintaining a healthy heart and circulatory system, retaining healthy joints and lowering triglyceride levels. Studies are still underway to show the effectiveness of Omega-3s on maintaining healthy mental function.
Omega-6 fatty acids have been linked to anti-inflammatory properties.
Medical research suggests that a higher intake of omega−6 fatty acids in comparison to the intake of omega-3 fatty acids may increase the likelihood of a number of diseases. While there is no set optimal ration, scientific agreement shows that individuals should consume more omega-3 fatty acids, and less omega-6 fatty acids.

I hate listening to other people's music- especially the bass. Doesn't matter if it's a song I like or not. I don't mind normal living noises most of the time, but hearing the music from upstairs invariably makes me batty.
I also hate it when I say something and someon responds, "are you sure?" No, I'm not sure, I just want to screw with your head. OF COURSE I'M SURE. Apparently I am responsible for teaching a former boss not to do that!! So I heard, anyway.
I hate it when people use words like 'nauseous' wrong, even though everyone but me does that it still bugs me.
No cones since 08/25/09. Occasional low poo.
Fine, normal to low porosity (still not sure which), ii, 3a/3b curls

Title: (I Need You) Next to Me
Author: Janine
Fandom: House of Wax (2005)
Pairing: Nick/Carly
Rating: PG
Warning: twincest (fraternal, m/f)
Disclaimer: I don't own them.
"I know you're there," Carly said, her voice soft and rough with sleep.
There was no response to her words.
Carly sighed and planted her hands on the mattress, using them to prop herself up, and then shifted so that she was sitting with her back against the headboard of her bed.
"I can see your shadow," she said, her voice weary though there was a tiny smile playing on her lips.
She liked to pretend that she was upset with Nick's 'over-protective-mother-hen' routine, but the fact was that she was actually touched by it, and perhaps more important, comforted by it.
Since escaping the horror show in Ambrose, Nick had been a constant presence in her day to day life. He had become like her shadow, or perhaps – she thought remembering all that he had gone through in Ambrose to protect her – more like a guardian angel, watching over her to make sure no more harm came to her.
"No you can't," came the gruff reply from outside of her room.
Carly smiled.
"You're right," Carly responded admitting her bluff. "You're also caught," she continued smiling. "Quit stalking me and come in."
"Nah," Nick said in his bad boy voice, still hidden out of view. Carly smirked picturing the supposedly badass sneer she knew he was wearing on his face, as he tilted his head to the side in a devil may care way. "I was just taking a piss. Go back to sleep."
"Nick," Carly responded, a definite whine detectable in her tone. "Just come in."
Again there was no verbal response to her words, but soon Carly saw Nick's figure appear in the open doorway of her room.
"Please," she said softly, watching him watch her. She knew that he would never admit to needing to check up on her, that he would never come in for his own good, but she was certain that he would do it if he thought that it would make her feel better. "I … I couldn't really sleep, and … I don't know, I just feel better when you're around."
"My room's just down the …" Nick began cocking his thumb in the direction of his room.
"When I can see you," Carly interjected before he could finish his stoic man's man routine. "When I can touch you," she continued softly, looking down at her lap. Her words were meant as a manipulation, but they were also true. "Just lay down for a while … until I fall asleep. Please."
Nick was still as a statue in the doorway for a few seconds, and then he released a mighty sigh and took a step further into the room, closing the door behind him. Carly had taken to sleeping with it partially open since returning from Ambrose, but he'd be damned if one of their parents walked by and saw the 'precious' sight of their twins snuggled up together. No way did he want to be greeted in the morning by his mother cooing and showing off a digital picture of her 'handsome knight' holding his sister. Sure, it was nice to no longer be the 'evil' twin, but he still had his dignity.
"Only for a little while," Nick warned as he approached the side of Carly's bed. "I'm not a damn teddy bear."
"I know," Carly said smothering down the urge to smile. "I appreciate it," she went on quickly, giddy with victory. "I'm pretty tired. I'll probably fall asleep soon."
"Whatever," Nick muttered coming to a stop by the side of the bed. "Are you gonna move over or what?"
Without comment Carly shifted, making room for Nick on the mattress. He was still kind of a dick, but she knew that he cared about her, and was just being, well, himself. His gruffness had bothered her before, she had taken it for genuine irritation or dislike, but she knew better now. He had jumped into the fires of hell for her. She could take a bit of surliness every now and then.
Nick lowered himself onto the mattress, and then stretched out, arching his back and pointing his toes before he settled back and relaxed. Once he stopped fidgeting, Carly slid a little closer to him and laid her head on his chest.
Carly sighed. She could hear Nick's heart beating, feel his chest moving up and down at a steady pace as he breathed softly, and all at once she felt a tension she didn't even know she was carrying around begin to dissipate.
"Thank you," Carly breathed out, her arm sneaking around his waist, holding him securely against her.
"Yeah," Nick breathed out, his arm jerking for a second before he finally moved it so that his hand was resting on the small of his sister's back.
They lay in silence for a while, pretending that they were attempting to sleep though neither of them even closed their eyes.
"Nick," Carly said, disrupting the quiet that had descended over the room.
"Hmm," Nick hummed in response, his eyes focused on the ceiling though his hand moved up and down on his sister's back soothingly.
"I don't know what I'd do without you," she said softly, keeping her head firmly where it was. They weren't exactly the type to share their feelings with each other, and having a real conversation with him left her feeling a bit vulnerable.
"You're strong," Nick said, angling his head down so that he could she the strawberry top of Carly's head. "And smart. You'd have found a way out of there. Hell, you were already halfway free when I showed up."
"No, I wasn't," Carly said shuddering as she remembered the way the leather cuffs and tape cut into her skin, and the sensation of literally prying her lips apart while covered in blood from her severed fingertip.
"But that's not what I meant," she continued, pressing on, forcing herself to think about something good instead of hell that psycho Bo Sinclair and his freakshow brother had put them through. "I mean, obviously for that too. I … I never would have gotten out of there if it wasn't for you," she went on hugging him again. "But I mean for this," she said rubbing his ribcage. "And for holding my hand in the ambulance, and handling Mom and Dad at the hospital, and being my chauffer around town, and looking in at me at night, and just everything," she said propping herself up onto her elbow so that she could see his face.
Vulnerable or not, he deserved to see how much she meant what she was saying.
"In a way the crisis was easy, adrenaline and just pure fucking fear kept me going, but after," she went on shaking her head, blinking against the sting of tears. "After, I would have just … I would have fallen apart without you."
"Ssh," Nick said, reaching up to cup her face in his hand. "You have me," he said, guiding her head back down, wrapping his arms around her as she buried her face in his neck. "You've always had me. I'll always be here. I promise," he said, his voice forceful with conviction.
He tilted her head up so that he could see her face.
"I promise," he repeated staring at her, something hot and unfathomable in his gaze, before he leaned forward and pressed his lips against her forehead. "I would never let anything happen to you. Ever," he went on, hugging her tightly once more.
Carly shivered, her eyes blinking rapidly as she felt Nick's body tremble has he held her. He tried to be so strong for her, for the world, but he was just a man – a boy – a human like everyone else, and he wasn't immune to what they had been through. She had known that from the way he had taken to looking over her, that his actions were born of fear, but she hadn't realized how much pain and anxiety he had been holding inside until that moment.
"Nick," she said softly, struggling in his embrace, trying to pull away so that she could see him.
Reluctantly Nick relented, loosening his hold, allowing her to move.
"Nick," she repeated reaching out for him, stroking her thumb across the blond stubble that covered his cheek. "I know," she said nodding as she spoke, her eyes beginning to sting with tears once more. "I know," she repeated, stroking his cheek again. "I love you."
Nick stared up at her, blinking rapidly, and then turned his face to the side to hide the tears that began to leak from his eyes. She needed him to be strong for her, to protect her, not to cry in her arms like a little girl.
"I love you," Carly said again, knowing that he wanted to hear it, that he needed to hear it, even if he didn't want her to see him cry. "You're my hero," she whispered, voice quivering with emotion.
Nick kept his head angled away for a few more seconds and then took a deep breath.
"I love you too," he said.
The words were strained, but he said them and Carly beamed. She knew how hard the conversation they were having, and especially the words he just said were for him, and she appreciated them more than she knew how to express.
Carly leaned down and brushed her lips against his cheek, and then his nose, and then his other cheek, stopping with her lips poised above his. Her eyes tracked up, watching him then, wondering if he was going to pull away, if he was going to tell her not to, but he just lay there staring up at her, that same unfathomable look back in his eyes.
Carly lowered her eyes, and then lowered her head, pressing her lips against his, shivering a little at the contact, ready to pull back almost immediately when she felt his hand at the back of her neck, holding her where she was.
They lay like that for a few moments, their lips resting against each others, stock still, and then Nick moved his lips against Carly's and she sighed, kissing him back, her hands gripping at his tank top as strong, calloused fingers tangled in her hair.
Finally, long moments later, Carly felt Nick's hold on her head loosen and pulled back slightly so that she could see his face. One of her hands migrated up from his torso to his face, her fingers tracing perfect lips that were now damp from her kisses. Below her, his chest rose and fell rapidly, but he remained otherwise still as she traced his lips.
Carly bit down on her bottom lip, her eyebrows furrowing together, and then she dropped her eyes and released a long, loud sigh. Nick tensed beneath her, but when she looked back up at him, she was smiling, one of those large, happy Carly smiles that he had tried so hard to put on her face when they were younger, and he smiled back.
And then they were laughing, and biting down on their lips, and pressing their hands against each others mouth to stifle the sound before their parents heard and came in to investigate what was suddenly so funny in a house that had been in mourning for over a month.
Long minutes later, Carly collapsed against Nick, her head coming to rest on his chest once more, and she clutched at his tank top with her hand.
"We're going to hell," Carly whispered, burying her face in his chest, hesitating for only a moment before she pressed her lips against the material under her head, kissing his chest.
"We've already been there," Nick responded, smiling up at the ceiling. "We got through it okay."
"I'll never be a hand model," Carly replied, a small smile still playing on her lips.
"I don't know. Your other one's pretty nice. Maybe they'll only want you to hold one thing," Nick said looking down at the top of her head. "It's called hand modeling, not 'right hand' modeling."
Carly laughed, and swatted him on the stomach. "You're stupid."
"Yeah," Nick breathed out, pretending to have been winded by the hit. "But you love me."
"I do," Carly said sincerely, lifting her head so that she could see his face, hesitating for only a moment before she pressed her lips against his once more.
"I thought you were tired," Nick said when she pulled back. "Go to sleep."
"Yeah, but … shouldn't we talk about this, or something?" Carly asked looking down at him.
Nick shook his head. "No," he finally murmured shaking his head as he did. "Talking … complicates things," he continued, leaning up to press his lips against Carly's.
Carly nodded and then shifted, settling down against Nick once more. She suspected that they would have to talk about it sometime, what it meant, how far it would go, if they wanted it to go any further, and a host of other things. But she was tired, and she didn't want to think about anything but how good it felt to be in Nick's arms, so she let it go.
"Carly," Nick said as Carly's eyes began to close. "I do, too."
Carly smiled, her arm tightening around Nick's waist before she drifted off to sleep.
The End


text: King Kenny - Unregistered August 28, 2012 11:32 AM Well, he fought back because, if he wants the title, he really needs to fight back at this point of the season, no more comfortable 3rds are allowed. But I think it's fair to say that Honda's superior acceleration played a great role in Pedrosa's Brno victory: he didn't need to push as hard as Lorenzo to overtake: he just overtook on acceleration and took the good spot for the final chicane. Fair game, though: each bike has its strenghts and weaknesses, and both of them need to make the most of their rides if they want to win. But Yamaha should be worried by Honda's development might: mid-season they've already introduced a whole new bike that's a clear improvement over the previous one. And they're going to test a new one at Aragon next week, if I'm not mistaken. 11 agree 1 disagree

Poole's press barons
Jenny Oliver looks at gutters and journalism in Victorian Poole
Published in January '15
The election of the first Liberal mayor in 1841 was a sign of a new era. Something of a 'shopocracy' was emerging, a powerful grouping of middle-class shopkeepers, traders and businessmen, who were mainly members of the Liberal Party.
The voice of the Liberals in the town was also heard through the pages of the Poole and Dorsetshire Herald, established in 1846 and produced in the heart of High Street. In the early 1800s, its founder, John Sydenham, had come to work for his uncle, Joseph Moore, a well-established stationer, printer and bookseller on High Street. In 1805, Sydenham married Joseph's daughter, Elizabeth, and eventually became a partner in the business.
When Joseph Moore died, John Sydenham carried on the business with his cousin, Joseph Moore junior, at the same premises, (the present No. 67). The Sydenhams had eight children of whom the oldest surviving son, John junior, was trained in the business, which by now included journalism.
In 1825, Moore and Sydenham became part owners of the Dorset Chronicle and John Sydenham junior worked on the newspaper as a journalist. In 1829 (aged just 22), he became its editor.
As a journalist, he was deeply involved in the issues of the day, including parliamentary reform.
In 1842, John Sydenham senior sold his interest in the Chronicle and in 1846 launched the Poole and Dorsetshire Herald with his son as editor. The first edition came out on 9 April 1846; at last Poole had a truly local voice. Sadly John junior died a few months later at the age of only 39.
There was still plenty, though, for the new newspaper to report, not least the ongoing and thus far losing battle to connect Poole to the growing railway network. By the 1840s, the golden age of coaching was coming to an end and the coach no longer set out daily from the Antelope lnn with maximum bustle and importance for the long run to London. Instead, by 1812, according to Pigot's Directory, the Union coach which left the Antelope and the London Tavern at 7.00am now went no further than over the county border to Southampton, where it met the train for London, so that the passengers could complete their journey with greater comfort and speed.
In 1847, the railway at last reached Poole (or rather it just reached Hamworthy) at the end of a branch from the Southampton to Dorchester Railway. Nonetheless, this first station at Lower Hamworthy served Poole, and the growing town of Bournemouth, for the next 25 years.
Still in 1847, the Poole and Dorsetshire Herald reflected on a High Street which 'though tenanted by respectable and wealthy shopkeepers, gives no idea of its large trading character and in which houses may be seen almost nodding to a sudden fall'.
Overcrowded houses were now densely packed along streets essentially no cleaner than they had been fifty years before. Although the Public Health Act came into existence in 1848 with the aim of improving sanitary conditions, its measures were not compulsory and only towns with very high death rates were required to comply. Poole was not in this category and the authorities did not see the need to adopt the act.
In summer 1849, Poole suffered the consequences of poor sanitation. On 18 June, St James's parish registers recorded the burial of James Joseph Wills age 3. The next day, Mrs Hescroff was buried at Skinner Street Congregational Church, with the cause of death recorded as cholera. The Poole and Dorset Herald of 21 June reported the fatalities: 'Considerable alarm was excited in this town Saturday last by a report that the much dreaded Asiatic cholera had made its appearance here but happily this is not the case, although there have been two fatal cases of English cholera.' Adopting a reassuring tone, the newspaper argued that 'both of these parties were predisposed to disease and the child in particular was very much emaciated; had they been of good constitution, there is no doubt that the attack would have terminated much differently.'
Even so, the whisper of cholera had prompted the Mayor, Richard Ledgard, to issue handbills urging the people of Poole to 'assist in the cleansing and keeping the gutters etc. in a wholesome state.' He asked all householders to thrown at least six buckets of clean water into the gutters in front of their houses between eight and nine every morning. The virtues of cleanliness and proper ventilation were also strongly recommended.
On 27 June, Mary Ann Hescroff was also buried at Skinner Street, another victim of cholera.
As with the 'putrid fevers' of the previous century, High Street traders were not slow to sense a business opportunity. The Poole and Dorset Herald of 28 June carried a large front-page advertisement from JB Bloomfield offering the recommended anti-cholera medicines for sale.
In the same newspaper, correspondence from 'PUBLICOLA' debated the sanitary state of Poole which, the letter suggested, fell far short of what the public had a basic right to expect: 'What is the condition of the High Street? Is it not decidedly bad? Gutters, emptying the most solid of their varied contents into open cesspools (which may be termed "ingenious contrivances for diffusing the most noxious gases, the breath of pestilence and the seeds of death").' The writer castigates the Poole authorities for allowing 'this most prolific evil in the principal thoroughfare, causing it to be inhaled by multitudes of people.'
Meanwhile, cholera brought tragedy to High Street boot and shoe maker John Weeks and his wife Louisa. On 30 June, Skinner Street church recorded the burial of Amy Weeks, aged two, and Fanny Weeks, aged four and a half, victims of cholera. Harriet Weeks (six) was buried on 2 July and George Weeks (fifteen) on 3 July.
Two days later, Louisa followed them to the grave and the clerk recorded the cause of death as 'Cholera (or grief?)'. John Weeks had lost half of his family and their mother. In 1851 he was listed on the census as a widower with four surviving children: Louisa, David, John and Elizabeth aged two to fifteen. The fatal spread of cholera was probably helped by the cramped conditions of their living arrangements in lower High Street.
By 12 July, the cholera had passed, partly due to the quick thinking and decisive action of the authorities plus a providential change in the weather. The Poole and Dorset Herald praised the sanitary measures taken to curb the spread of the disease: 'the drains of all kinds have been thoroughly cleaned, and copious streams of water daily poured down them.' The epidemic had pushed cleanliness and sanitation to the forefront of public attention, but the sad fact was that the dirty streets, infectious diseases and death of children were too common at the time to be very remarkable. The struggle to introduce better sanitary conditions was to continue throughout the century.
In 1864, John Sydenham died, having survived John Junior by eighteen years. His youngest son, Richard, believed that the Herald had become too bland and uncritical and he decided to publish his own magazine of news, comment and criticism, the Poole Pilot. He promised that the Pilot would 'devote itself to all that is good and true and… will be found the determined enemy of all that is base and false'. It was launched in 1867 and only lasted until 1869, but in that time it attacked many things that Sydenham saw as abuses in Poole society. He saw the scheming of such leaders as Charles Waring, railway contractor and MP for Poole, as a way of lining the pockets of the few at the expense of local people.
Both the Herald and Pilot took up the vexed question of poor sanitation. On 1 October 1867 the Poole Pilot carried a piece of correspondence complaining about the smell of cabbage water and rotting dinners lingering in the streets, particularly on a Sunday. Two weeks later, the Poole and Dorset Herald carried a heartfelt plea from 'Valetudinarian' on the connection between poor draining and deaths from consumption [what we would now call TB], concluding that 'when the surface soil is dried with good sewers, consumption – the cruellest and most mysterious of our silent morbid enemies – appears to depart.'
A development for which Poole people were still waiting was the arrival of the railway into Poole proper. A branch line was finally built in 1872 from Wimborne via Broadstone to a new Poole station, just to the west of High Street. Two years later, a line was built from the new station to Bournemouth West, cutting across High Street itself. The demolition of a private house was required for the new footbridge.
The Herald expressed the hope that an early train 'not later than six in the morning' would be provided 'for the benefit of the working class' so that workers would no longer have to walk into Bournemouth.
The railway inevitably brought noise, smuts and disturbance to the Parade, then home to some of Poole's wealthier residents. The level crossing and footbridge are still there 140 years on. ◗

Few Suggestions for the Gallery
I am very frustrated with the new gallery.
Here's why:
1. If I try to upload an image to a gallery that is in a post it gives me an error.
2. The 'reverse order' feature I was really excited about because I always want my newest images to be first but it messes everything up because when I reverse the order then go back later to add more images it puts those images at the end. So I end up with all my images in the wrong places.
3. The order of the images as they are displayed on the page IS NOT the same as the order of the images when you scroll through them. It appears to jump around randomly through my images.
on another semi-unrelated note while trying to register for this site to access support I went through the most frustrating process. Instead of just plain telling me my username wasn't available it continued to cycle the same screen to me with no information on whether registration worked or not and it certainly didn't tell me what the problem was with my registration form.
Very frustrating to say the least.
Other than the complaints above I have really enjoyed using wordpress.org and I love it!

GONZALES -- Two-year-old Addison Comeaux met her favorite princess of all time, Belle from "Beauty and the Beast."
Comeaux was one of 43 campers who spent the week dressing up, playing games and learning all things related to the art of being a princess.
"It's all she talked about, all week," said her mother, Paige, adding that she took a picture with Belle, who visited their class on the first day.
That picture, Comeaux said, serves as the cover of her Princess Handbook, another project the campers, ages 2 to 6, worked on during the week.
The Comeauxs came Friday to watch Addison and her new friends perform a couple of royal musical numbers, and before the show began, Addie was a little fidgety.
"I don't think she's feeling well today," her mom said.
But as soon as the show began, Addie, like the other girls in the show, drew on their princess power to perform perfect curtsies, followed by — what else? The princess wave.
"It's definitely one of our more popular camps," said Linda Schexnaydre, who owns and operates Center Stage Performing Arts Academy with her husband, Larry.
You'd think a princess camp would trigger prima donna attitudes more often than not, but Schexnaydre said that's far from the case.
"On the first day, everyone's sitting in the circle, not really sure who they should talk to," she said. One of the first things they do, she said, is introduce the campers to actors playing the role of a princess.
"When they see that, their jaws drop, and that's it, they're interested," she said. And, they ask questions, Schexnaydre said. Lots of questions.
What's life like in a castle? What do princesses eat? Does the Beast still look like the Beast?
"There's never a dull moment at princess camp," camp counselor Mary Kate Hutchinson said.
But the camp is also good for her counselors, many of whom take lessons at Center Stage themselves. It helps them keep their own performing skills polished over the summer, she said.
Before the show ended, each princess had to walk — as gracefully as possible in princess high heels — to the front of the audience to receive the culmination of their week of fun. That included a certificate, a camp T-shirt, and the princess handbook they'd spent the week coloring and compiling. Some found it difficult to juggle all three items and wave like a princess at the same time.
"It's hard work being a princess," Schexnaydre said.

Hybrid indoor and outdoor location services for new generation mobile terminals
- First Online:
- Received:
- Accepted:
- Citations
- 831 Downloads
In the last years, an increasing interest in location services characterized the market of mobile ubiquitous devices (smartphones, handhelds, etc.). Several technologies and solutions have been developed to determine the position of mobile devices in their operating space, each with its specific degree of precision and accuracy. In this scenario, the ideal location service should be able of tracking the mobile terminal in any place it moves to, both indoors and outdoors. However, while outdoor location services have already achieved a satisfactory degree of technological maturity and effectiveness, a really ubiquitous location service that works satisfactorily in both indoor and outdoor scenarios is not yet available. In order to cope with the above challenge, this work proposes a hybrid location approach designed to choose and switch among multiple positioning technologies supported by the mobile device and available in the surrounding environment, in a dynamic and transparent way during the user movement. It combines signal strength–based fingerprinting techniques for indoor positioning together with traditional GPS-based positioning for the outdoor localization and performs opportunistic technology switching according to a count-and-threshold mechanism. The resulting solution is able to leverage the different features of the wireless networks and of the global positioning technologies, in order to provide ubiquitous location services across indoor and outdoor scenarios, as well as to minimize power consumption of the mobile device.

Jonathan Isaby, chief executive of the TaxPayers' Alliance, said:
"It is astonishing that the authorities are delivering this news without any sign of embarrassment. Whatever the problems facing the local hospitals, outsourcing our healthcare needs across the Channel cannot be a serious or a sustainable solution. Given the sheer amount of taxpayers' money that successive governments have thrown at the NHS, it is time we started living up to the 'envy of the world' title."
