Happens one year after the incident in the first game, Tsugumi now continues to work as civil servant under the Owls. There are lots of new characters now, and as in the first game, Taisho Era social issues, especially regarding women and gender, are tackled a lot throughout the story.
This is a non-spoiler review of our favorite trashy Taisho Romance by Otomate ・´∀`・)

With all the fail otome games that D3P released last year, buying another new game from the company, much more, pre-ordering it, sounds so out of the question. Unfortunately, I can't say no to Teita's beautiful art, so without waiting for reviews,I jumped the gun and pre-ordered the game ^_^; Nevertheless, it seems that D3P is only in charge of producing the game, and the developer is actually Red Entertainment, who also did Jyuuzaengi (I should get this game soon…), so it might not be as bad as what people expect from D3P…
This is a spoiler-free review of the game ・´∀`・) (no time for detailed summaries ;;;)

Accounts Payable (AP) is ripe for innovation in the modern enterprise. As new initiatives, such as dynamic discounting, continue to grow in adoption, the nature of the AP function is fundamentally changing from cost center to value generator. However, many AP departments are unable to evolve and pursue this role because they are struggling with outdated technology and manual invoice processing. Read: Reap the Benefits of Invoice Excellence with AP AutomationAberdeen Group's survey report, Reap the Benefits of Invoice Excellence with AP Automation, sheds light on the state of AP automation today. Forty percent of respondents said the need for real-time availability of data is a key AP challenge, and 29 percent said difficulty locating/managing paper-based documents was a struggle.
Guest Post by Tom Franceski, vice president and general manager of DocStar.
To streamline AP workflows and the procure-to-pay supply chain, to achieve better, faster outcomes, and to empower both payers and suppliers, AP needs next-generation invoice automation.
Loose Integration Sinks the AP Ship
When it comes to invoice automation, "the devil is in the details." Industry stats show that 8 out of 10 (or 82%) of all invoices will have at least one exception. Invoice exceptions are the governor of AP automation. You could be cruising at 65 miles per hour, but, thanks to these exceptions, you're crawling along at 30.
AP departments often struggle with exception processing due to weak integration with ERP systems. A complex workflow process must be designed and applied to root out exception causes. And this process has to include checks and balances involving enterprise resource planning (ERP) and other systems, systems that are often too loosely integrated with invoice automation systems. Indeed, all too often an exception isn't identified and resolved until late in the process, stalling cycle time.
In Pursuit of AP Innovation
Done right, invoice automation can drive cost savings through discount capture, penalty avoidance, and lower labor costs. At the same time it can improve the speed with which AP professionals access payables-related information.
Fortunately, today's next-generation invoice automation solutions are providing the AP change that's needed. At the foundation, they are delivering powerful integration with ERP systems to support 2-and 3-way matching, allowing for the quick resolution of exceptions with little to no manual intervention.
Robust workflow support is providing better visibility and faster processing, to enable organizations to capture more early payment discounts. And mobile and cloud applications are helping to support real-time, secure access to invoices and related documents — on any device and from any location – to speed approvals.
The Transformation Journey
To better understand where to begin on the journey to transform the AP process, consider the following recommendations from previously referenced Aberdeen Group report:
- Review and define gaps in your Accounts Payable processes.
Common gaps include degradation in automation due to integration challenges, a lack of operational visibility into AP processes, and an inability to capture supplier discounts.
- Select a solution(s) + workflow that addresses process deficiencies.
The biggest deficiency in Accounts Payable processing is typically the space between the invoice automation solution itself and the business systems of record (i.e., ERP). Take a close look at the level and quality of integration and its impact on your operations.
- Commit to a culture emphasizing improved supplier relationships.
As part of AP transformation, many organizations are looking to support the offering of early payment discounts by providing suppliers with self-service portals that allow them to track the status of invoices and payments. This can provide a better customer experience for suppliers while simultaneously cutting the cost of supplier management. As more organizations gravitate to this paradigm, your organization may find itself at a competitive disadvantage if it doesn't follow suit.
AP Automation: The Challenge and Opportunity in 2017
Next-generation approaches to invoice automation ensure the procure-to-pay process is a well-oiled machine. They allow companies to capture every discount available while reducing per-invoice processing cycle time and costs. Bringing advanced automation to invoicing thus represents both a challenge and an opportunity for enterprises in 2017.

February 25, Shocking Obama Gun Ban
In an unbelievable twist that has left us all scratching our heads, President Obama has announced his plans to...ban guns! Attorney General Eric Holder said that putting a ban back on assault weapons would not only be a positive move by the U.S., it would help cut down on the flow of guns going across the border to Mexico. Maybe it's just me, but when the Bill of Rights says "the right of the people to keep and bear arms shall not be infringed" I don't see anywhere that it singles out specific firearms.
February 25, Shocking Obama Gun Ban
3/30/2009 03:11:28 am
Now, I have a couple of points to make here:
3/31/2009 02:42:57 am
1. I agree with you. If country X has a problem with guns, then it's up to country X to solve their problem. Restricting the rights of Americans in an attempt to ease the burden on a foreign country's government is unacceptable. Mexico should loosen their gun control laws so innocent people stand a chance of defending themselves.

Rest is such a vital factor when it comes to leading a healthy and balanced life. It is just as important, if not more important, as eating healthy and exercising.
It is no secret that I do not sleep enough. I probably go to bed around 11pm and wake up at 5:10am. I am an hour shy of the recommended amount of 7-9 hours of sleep a night, and believe me, I am the type of person that needs my 8 hours sleep!
It was evident on my most recent holiday, that I was mentally and physically drained. I went away with my lovely Mumsy for a week, a week that we had intended to switch off and chill and oh my god did we do just that.
Packing my suitcase I had every intention to visit the hotel gym, go on a few long walks with my mum and keep up some sort of fitness regime so that I didn't completely die when I got back in the gym when I was home. I had every intention to do this (as a quarter of my gym gear took up my suitcase!) but once I was away from life and my routine I just could not find the motivation to do this. I didn't do ANY exercise for a WHOLE WEEK!
It was obvious my body needed to rest and recharge. I was falling asleep at 10pm most nights and I wasn't waking up until 10am or 11am the next day. It was bliss. I laid on a sunbed all day (I definitely was not lacking Vitamin D at the moment), I read 3 books, I ate what I want, I had no stresses and I didn't have to think about anything.
Fast forward 3 weeks and this new refreshed woman I had became is just out of the window. I am working my butt off at work, I feel like I need multiple duvet days and I can't seem to get back into the gym . I mean I am going but I am just hating it, I feel even more tired and I feel stuck in a rut. I'm getting to bed earlier (I think that is down to Love Island having finished) and even though I am getting that additional hour, I still am really struggling to get out of bed in the mornings! My snooze button has never been so active!
The good news is, is that I have had 2 periods come through, two months on a trot, which is positive – I'm on the Noriday Contraceptive Pill which is meant to stop your periods so although this is good, I am a bit confused as to what is going on!?
From next week I am going to be upping my Vegetable intake, I've signed up to Hello Fresh UK so that my meals are pre-planned and I will be able to make healthier choices, I have had a glance at the meals and they are full of vegetables and balanced.
I will record my meals and see if I feel there is an improvement with my tiredness.
Other than that i'm not really sure what I can do to help other than, win the lottery, move to a sunny country and start my own business!
Anyway… roll on the next holiday, 33 days (not that i'm counting!)

When you envisioned your adventure to Mexico's Copper Canyon, you were envisioning Cerocahui and Hotel Misión, though you may not have known it. The Cerocahui valley is a half-hour bus ride from the train station at Bahuichivo where you disembark El Chepe. Thanks to the extraordinary beauty of the environment and the luxury of Hotel Misión, it is a place that will stay with you for the rest of your life.
The most popular tour from the hotel is the Urique Canyon overlook, and it is the most expansive view you will have on your tour outside of the Batopilas road. A visit to the 17th-century mission church next door to the hotel, an historic landmark that is a functional place of worship to this day, puts you in touch with the colonial history of the canyon. A scenic five-mile round-trip to Cerocahui Waterfall (a moderate to difficult walk, and a great adventure on horseback!) is a favorite day trip; during the rainy season many enjoy a moderate two-mile hike to Las Cascaditas (the little waterfalls). A visit to the Catholic Indian Boarding School next to the hotel is a special way to connect with the local community (visitors and donations are needed and welcome). A van tour to the bottom of Urique Canyon is an unforgettable excursion. A small vineyard, owned operated by the Balderrama family, is open for tours, and there is generally plenty of hiking, birding and horseback riding available to enjoy.
This Balderrama hotel is your "home in the country," and a favorite stopping place of many Copper Canyon travelers. A cozy ambiance is created in this lovely Spanish mission-style retreat by the comfortable, ample lobby with its massive fireplace, the family style dining room, and the 40 rooms attractively decorated in Mexican décor and heated by wood stoves. You are beckoned to take off your shoes and stay awhile, as time here is seemingly suspended. The hotel vineyard supplies grapes for the Balderrama wines.

Author(s): Taiye Selasi
A buoyant and rapturous debut novel ("The Wall Street Journal") about the transformative power of unconditional love Electric, exhilarating, and beautifully crafted, "Ghana Must Go" introduces the world to Taiye Selasi, a novelist of extraordinary talent. In a sweeping narrative that takes readers from Accra to Lagos to London to New York, it is at once a portrait of a modern family and an exploration of the importance of where we come from to who we are. A renowned surgeon and failed husband, Kweku Sai dies suddenly at dawn outside his home in suburban Accra. The news of his death sends a ripple around the world, bringing together the family he abandoned years before. Moving with great elegance through time and place, "Ghana Must Go" charts their circuitous journey to one another and, along the way, teaches us that the truths we speak can heal the wounds we hide."
Taiye Selasi was born in London and raised in Massachusetts. She holds a B.A. in American studies from Yale and an M.Phil. in international relations from Oxford. The Sex Lives of African Girls ("Granta," 2011), Selasi s fiction debut, will appear in "Best American Short Stories 2012." She lives in Rome."

Both her parents nurtured her love of nature, but her physics teacher father was especially influential on her, sparking and encouraging her lifelong love of learning with long science discussions at every opportunity, from the dinner table to road trips. This led her to seek a degree in zoology and finally, the desire to be a teacher herself. Bethany taught middle and high school science in Frederick County for 23 years, teaches a nature class at Frederick Community College and is an amateur naturalist and botanist. She has a creative side, with a small business designing and making jewelry. She is also a member of the Frederick County Forestry Board and is trained as a Master Gardener.

I love the outdoors, traveling and photography. Joining AFF as an educator, has been exciting, new experience for her. Everyday at AFF, is a new experience – seeing kids reacting to the pig urinating is priceless! To be serious, seeing kids out on the farm and on the habitat walk excited is great. I have also been interning for Port Tobacco River Conservancy for about a year now to develop skills in the non-profit world as well as in the environmental field. Also, I am pursuing a degree in Environmental Management at University of Maryland University College. I hope to transform the growing world into a sustainable world.

What signs and symptoms did you experience with your sinus infection? Submit Your Comment
With sinus infection my left temple hurts, the left eye is puffy and swollen underneath, and the eyeball hurts. I have occasional sharp needle-like pains in my left eye, left cheekbone, roof of the mouth and gums, left side of throat, a slight headache, slight nose bleed, a slight nose congestion with tingling, and a very small amount of clear mucus.
I have yellow mucus draining from sinus infection, and I have throat and face pain.
I've had nasal congestion, facial pain and pressure and headaches for a couple weeks now from sinus infection. But recently I got a cold sore, only the second time I have ever had one. I am also getting weird tingling spots throughout the left side of my cheek. I know it's normal on the mouth with a cold sore but wonder if anyone has had this in their cheek area!
I have got pain on the left side of my face, nose is sore, itchy and runny, and eye keeps watering because of sinus infection for the last 2 days.
I have severe burning sensation in my cheeks right by my nose. My temperature keeps going up and down but never past 99.5. I wonder if this is another sinus infection. I had surgery a few years ago but now what I have this problem.
My nose is swollen on the right side and I have a sore ear from sinus infection.
Ever since turning 30 I've had multiple sinus infections. I had surgery last October 2017 and it didn't seem to help at all. I believe I'm having another sinus infection but it's a little different now because I'm having neck pain with it for the first time and the pressure in my head and face is gnawing. It all started with my gums aching so badly, then headaches, now some congestion and dizziness. My nose isn't so bad and my throat doesn't hurt. My anxiety is high! I hate this!
I have a really red sore swollen tongue and a horrific headache with my sinus infection. My whole body hurts so much I can hardly move, and I feel nauseous. I feel like I'm dying.
First let me say 90 percent of the comments are 'wet' sinusitis related. I was in the other 10 percent and had 'dry' sinusitis. I was in terrible pain and knew I had a sinus infection, but no mucus, cough, or any other sign of sickness. I was in terrible pain. I saw the doctor and he prescribed naproxen for the pain and Mucinex for the 'viral' infection. Little did I know this only made things especially the pain, 100, no 10000000 times worse! Three days of taking antihistamine medicine is drying things out more.
Extremely sore ears with an extremely painful popping in them, blood in the mucus, and pressure on the temples are my symptoms of sinus infection.
The whole right hand side of my face and head ache with sharp pains from the nostril to the eye! Sinus infection is incredibly painful!
QUESTIONSee Answer
I have had sinus infections for 20 years. Now that I am getting older I have aches and pains in my wrists and ankles. I have doses of antibiotics but it comes back. I have been given steroids but don't believe it is good for me. This problem keeps happening every year. It is painful.
I was having pain on the left side of the nose from sinus infection and now the pain and swelling have shifted to the right side. I have a sore throat.
Pain between the ear, nose and the eye, and down the neck by the carotid artery is my sinus infection symptom.
My sinus infection symptom seem to be a sort of sinus headache confined in my lower jaw, of all places. I have all the symptoms of a regular sinus headache, just only in the right side of my jaw. It pulsates when I walk, sit down, and move around like a sinus headache might. My head feels fine but my jaw feels like it is trying to explode; my teeth and gums show no visual symptoms. It really hurts to tilt my head to the left, as the pain extends to my neck. Oddly enough it feels fine when I sit still, I can even eat without bother. I've got a long history of sinus headaches, sinus stuff runs in the family as does in the location I live where it goes from one extreme to the next, but I've never had something like this in my jaw. It is bizarre to say the least.
It is just awful. My sinus infection just pops up when it feels like it. It is ever so troubling me as of right now. It started December 29, 2017 and it has not left me alone yet. It just aggravates me to the core because my infection feels like they are trying to punish me. You know it is really bad when you fight with it and you take all kinds of medicine and when the medicine doesn't work or halfway clear it up then that is when you know the sinus congestion has won. Mine are so bad it is hard for me to breathe and I have to use an inhaler to get my breath because I can't breathe through my nose.
I have had sinus pain/infection issues since I was 35. It almost always occurs in the fall and winter months. I live in the Ohio valley which I have heard is the worst place in the country for sinus issues. The temperature swings here are horrible in the fall/winter months. I have seen ENT specialists several times, had a CAT scan of my sinus all to no conclusion. The worst part for me is being awakened during sleep by severe temple pain for months at a time. At this point, I am starting to think it is a weather related allergy issue.
I have had sinus surgery twice and things have gotten a little better. However, I still have sinus infections quite a bit of the time. I have tried everything in the market for relief. Nothing really works for long. This infection has me kind of dizzy and disoriented. Let me tell you, I do not like this feeling at all. I am on third dose of antibiotics, I have good days and bad. I have 6 days left but can tell it is not gone. Like everyone else here I need help! Also right ear hurts all the time, I constantly have cotton in it to relieve pressure and pain.
My jaws hurt and ache as well as my gums the past two mornings, and I have been kind of sick to my stomach. I mowed grass yesterday and did some yard work and felt really bad afterwards. My nose is either stuffy or running, face throbs and about the only relief I get is from Tylenol. I also sneeze 4 to 6 times or more in a row because of the sinus infection.
With my sinus infection I experienced dull aches in my cheeks, forehead, headache, and a dull annoying ache in my upper jaw by my back teeth, made worse when lying down. My nose dripped hot watery mucus even though my nose felt very stuffy and congested.
My sinus infection started with two severe dizzy spells which turned into a headache and slight nauseous feeling. Never having had a migraine I thought this could be my first. The next day I woke up with my eyes swollen and inflamed. Still with the headache symptoms. The third and fourth days I had severe pain in my throat, neck, forehead and eyes. My eyelids and just below the eyes were shockingly bright reddish pink and leaked for 48 hours straight along with my nose. I also began coughing that third day and developed a fever. I drank water continuously and took some Sovereign Silver, from the health food store, several times a day. On the fifth day I was feeling better however I was coughing up phlegm and began to worry that what ever I had was moving into my lungs. On that day I went to the doctors and ( I would have gone earlier but my two worst days was a Saturday and Sunday.) Upon examination, including a blood test for an increased white blood count and a throat swab and still with a fever everything was ruled out except the sinus infection. I am now taking 10 days of the antibotic, Amoxicillin. In all of the areas in my head that I mentioned; throat, eyes, head, neck, and forehead, the pain was absolutely acute. I wish to add that I was not sick prior to this attack, and I do feel it was an attack, however the day before I had been on a 6 hour plane flight.
SLIDESHOWSee Slideshow
Lately my jaw hurts, I've got nasal full block out, change in my voice, dizziness, and pain behind the left side of my nose. These seem to me like symptoms of a sinus infection.
I don't know if it is sinus infection, but my nose discharges fluid all the time, and the throat is always blocked with mucus. The head feels heavy all the time. I feel that my concentration capability has gone down a lot. I am not able to concentrate and if I learn something, I forget it. It has become an obstacle in my career growth. Also, my ears feel like they are full with wax and when I clear them using buds, it pains from inside. If I shake my head, then also there is pain in my brain.
Jaw pain was my symptom of sinus infection.
I have a dull headache since 3 weeks, and since 4 days on both sides of my face I feel vibration and feel cold inside. I think it is a sinus infection.
I am of age 65. I have mild pain and tenderness to touch to my right cheek, and a slight swelling. I do have sinus problems due to allergies to dust, trees, and grass, no fever.
I am constantly having sinus headaches that last sometimes up to a week or longer. I have tried everything to relieve the pain but nothing helps. The worst pressure I have is behind my eyes and it's unbearable.
My sinus infection symptoms are: dry swollen sinus, tinnitus, stiff neck, and drainage in back of throat on left side. Sinus surgery is scheduled on Wednesday of this week. I have hypogammaglobulinemia and recently, Addison's disease. I am on gamma globulin and not getting better. I'm also on massive steroid treatments. I give up!
In October I had pleurisy and atelectasis which was treated with Naproxen, Tylenol and Aleve after the Naproxen. A scan was done for clots but not on the sinuses. The lungs cleared and the sinus pain began. I have completed 4 courses of antibiotics all different with no success. Recently I have blood coming from my nose. When I rinse the sinuses with salt water the blood pours into the sink from my nose. I have pressure on my face, headache, and pressure on my right eye and I am tired. I have noticed some fuzzy thinking and some fuzzy thinking and when the headache is bad some forgetfulness. I have gone to the doctor o going at least once a week plus to emergency once. The doctor in emergency said they would refer to a specialist who would see me quickly. It is two weeks and when I called they said they had a lot of paper work and when they see mine they would call with an appointment. When they do a scan for a clot in the lungs do they scan the sinuses and the brain or do they just scan the lungs. I am unhappy with the med system and I feel scared.
I experienced sudden, very severe pain above my left eye whilst coming in to land on a plane recently. It was so bad; the air crew asked if there was a doctor on board. They gave me various tests (which I later realized were for the possibility of a minor stroke), but concluded, happily for me, that it was a sinus infection after a cold I had had the previous three days. The pressure in the cabin was changed by the pilot re-ascending and then landing more slowly, and the pain virtually disappeared. However, the pain was extreme and unexpected.
I am pregnant and about 2 months ago I had a really bad cold the medicine I could take wouldn't help, it turned into my 1st sinus infection. I was very congested, had sinus pain and pressure and my top left teeth hurt badly Tylenol would not help. My doc put me on antibiotics and within 24 hours I was feeling better. Then 2 weeks ago my congestion got worse the pressure and headaches were back my throat hurt I was hot all the time. I am now on my 2nd round of antibiotics so let's hope it works this time.
The infection started in my teeth. I couldn't even chew gum. I thought I had a really bad cavity, then it spread to my jaw went up to my eyeballs I couldn't even touch my eye. Then it started spreading across my forehead and now it's in my neck. My skin is very sensitive to the touch and I feel like I have the flu.
I get constant sinus infections. over the past few months my sinuses have gotten worse and I now have bruised eye sockets and terrible headaches.
Someone please help me. My sinus infection is killing my eyes. I have had head aches for 5 days. I hear my sinus pop when I take medicines like alka selzers, and tylenol cold---but i want something for good. Bedsides, the doctor wont see me for 2 weeks. Should I go to the emergency room?
My nostrils are both slightly blocked, and my throat is a little sore and it hurts to swallow. My tonsils are swollen a bit, too.
I have blocked sinuses with facial pain on the right. I can't smell anything. I have a very blocked left ear, which buzzes and is sometimes painful.
I'm not sure if it's a sinus infection, but my left eye keeps watering and hurts to touch around that area. And my left nostril seems to be clogged.
I experience everything. The worse part about mine is the bad breath.
I have had a sinus infection for three days. This is the first time it has settled in the right side of my mouth. My gums, roof of my mouth and all skin areas are so sensitive that drinking water hurts them. I can't brush my teeth they are so sensitive. I can't eat but little tiny bites on my left side. My teeth hurt. I have swelling on the right side of my face and I can feel slight pain now and then on the right nasal passageway.
The symptoms are thick yellowish green discharge, blocked nose with difficulty in breathing, pain and pressure over the affected sinus area with headache and cough.
When mine starts, it starts behind right eye into the temple. I have ear pain and pressure on whole right side of my face and a very tender neck, but no sore throat.
I just got over a bad cold that lasted two weeks now for the past week I've had a horrible sharp yet dull pain/headache above my right eyebrow. Along with extreme tenderness to touch on brow line, and annoying twitching in eyebrow and around eye socket, not the eye itself. Evenings seems to be the worst when it feels like my eyes are being sucked into my forehead.
I have had many sinus infections before but never to this point. My face and nose have swelled to the point that my left eye is starting to close. I have been on amoxicillin 875 for one day now. I am better but the swelling from my eye to my neck is still bad. I can only hope this will change within the next day or two.
I have a headache above my eyebrows, cheekbones and back of my head. Green nasal discharge and some blood stained runny nasal discharge. Frequent gentle nose blowing required.
I have suffered from sinus infections for years and had two sinus surgeries and one frontal sinus obliteration. The infections would get better for a few weeks but then get worse. Now that I have had the obliteration surgery there does not seem much that can be done and I am in bed for weeks at a time, great pain. The Infection Disease doctor (first appointment) has scheduled a bone scan to see if the infection has spread to the bone. USE MUCINEX AND THE SINUS WASH!
I first noticed severe pain in my ears and headache.The initial nasal discharge consisted of a large circular piece of a clear plastic this was followed by a quarter size solid piece similar to rubber.I produced one daily for a week then inserted a saline and warm water mixture into my nose and in two days this discharge ceased.
I woke up one morning with a slight headache and my toothache. Throughout days I pretended to be superwoman and tried to block out the pain but that didn't work. My nose was stuffy and at night it was hard for me to get good sleep due to the congestion in my nose. My right side temple was throbbing and the right side of my mouth, the upper gum, back area of my mouth felt as if it was cramping. This was the first time I was introduced to a sinus infection and hopefully it is the last one!
I had a sore throat for two days, and I still went to work. On the second day when I had the sore throat I started sneezing and coughing and then on the four day I went to work feeling fine, but I was coughing and sneezing and my left ear was hurting.
When I had a sinus infection, I had extreme jaw and mouth pain, and pain in cheek and head.
It started with my left ear feeling plugged. Then the next day I was a little congested then a severe headache. It hit me out of nowhere and was extremely painful. Tylenol did nothing for me. It was pain behind my eyes above my ears and this occured everytime i would move my head. I have sweats and chills, achy muscles and no energy. Noise and bright light seems to make it worse. My jaw, teeth and neck ache as well. The pain makes me feel nauseated.
I endured lots of sneezing, pressure and pain on my face and on my upper teeth, with severe nasal congestion getting much worse at night. I also had a runny nose, eventually turning to a thick, greenish/yellow discharge. I had a metallic taste in my mouth bad breath and I was almost unable to distinguish smells.
I experience chest congestion right away along with frontal headaches, pain around my eyes which is more painful with my glasses on. I also get a lot of mucus built up and post nasal drip. I also tend to lose my voice.
I always get a sinus infection following a cold. I have painful upper teeth and pain opening jaw. I have a frontal headache with postnasal drip and sometimes blurry vision.
In 2005, I had the first of three sinus surgeries for chronic sinusitis. I have been on so many antibiotics that help the condition, only to repeat the illness every three or four months. I have post nasal drip, aches around my eyes and upper cheeks and very thick discharge. What troubles me is the nose bleeds which cause soreness and the chest congestion. I am constantly feeling warm; yet when my temperature is taken it is normal or a minimum above normal. These constant episodes have left me frustrated, exhausted, and depressed. Since I am a caregiver for my husband and have all of the responsibilities without his help, I am constantly attempting to play catch-up and failing. I, also, miss doing activities that would bring me joy, gardening, painting, sewing, and volunteering.
I have been suffering from sinusitis for 5 months and whenever I suffer from a cold, my condition becomes worse and my forehead and face will be very tender to touch. I even get lots of mucous in my nasal cavities, from high headache and mild fever. My doctor has suggested surgery.
I have a sinus infection and I have an itchy nose and a headache behind my itchy, red eyes. The light hurts my eyes. This is very painful.
I started feeling pain and pressure in my jaw and ear so I thought it was from clenching my teeth, or something, while I slept. Now the pain has intensified tenfold to the point of the whole right side of my face (jaw, ear, cheekbone and temple) now are extremely painful and nothing seems to help with the pain - I've also had a persistent sore throat and cough that keeps me awake at night. I am 45yrs old and a smoker of less than a pack a day. Also, my throat and uvula have been red and swollen for about a year now.
In Feb 2009 I contracted my first ever sinus infection. After 2 months of antibiotics it still didn't clear up so I was referred to an ENT and in March 2010 had surgery. Still today, March 2011, I am very sick and in a great deal of pain. Countless amounts of antibiotics, anti-inflammatory medications and pain killers have not seemed to help. Now my ENT wants to do a second surgery. I am doubtful this will help. Also my ENT told me not to use netti pot when infection is present. I just don't know what to do. Although I am constantly blocked up I have only been able to blow my nose a handful of times in 2 years, I can barely smell or taste anything and my voice has changed. My quality of life is not good. I don't socialize, can't work much and feel sorry for my husband as he has to put up with me being snotty and grumpy all the time! I really need help.
I am so happy that I found this site as it has helped me better understand my condition. This is the 2nd sinus cold I have had in the past few months & this one has been the worst pain that I have ever experienced. I have been sick for 5 days and took Tylenol Sinus for 2 days but it no longer helps. My nose could not stop running for 3 days, now I feel a deadly pressure in my head, cheeks & throat. I thought it was from a toothache. Thanks for the info. I will go see the doctor first thing in the morning.
My sinusitis affects the sphenoid area, with pain on the sides of my head above my ears. It is worse when I lie on my side, better on my tummy, as my sinuses drain better that way. Taking a sinus medication(OTC)and using saltwater nasal sprays, hot compresses, and steam can sometimes clear it up if I catch it early on, however, many times I need antibiotics. Recently I had vertigo for days even with the antibiotics, but that clears with a mild decongestant enough to work.
I have a neti pot and love it. But I also have a small fountain that I run every night in my bedroom. It helps a lot and is a cuter alternative to constant use of a humidifier. But I really wish I would have thought about Vicks Vapo-Rub over a steamy sink! My symptoms: extreme fatigue and nausea, sinus congestion and VERY LITTLE pain. Plus it activated my asthma so: shortness of breath and tingly fingers.
For my sinus infection, I had loss of hearing, swelling under the eyes and nasal congestion.
is sinusitis caused by a virus?
I have has a sinus infection for two months now. I have pain and pressure behind my nose and eye. My nose is blocked on the left side and my throat is very sore. When I lie down at night, I have a drip going down the back of my throat, which tastes very sweet. I have also had so many antibiotics and they don't seem to cure this infection. I am now going to see an ENT specialist.
I have a sinus infection and I have a sore throat, headaches all around, neck and shoulder pain, nasal congestion, chest congestion, fever, sore eyes, irritated nasal passages, and a desire to sleep.
Every time I get a sinus infection I always smell a bad odor coming from my nose. I get sinus infections all the time. My allergies are the problem, the yeast one. It's been real hard working when I am so sick all the time.
I've had a stuffy nose since April. Did not know what it was. Went to the doctor, used antihistamine, nasal spray, sinus and cold pills. nothing worked to this day, but I'm going to try the steam and see if it helps. Sometimes I wonder if it is sinus at all! I experience no pain, just stuffiness all day and night! No mucous discharge.
I'm having bad stuffiness can't breathe good through nose and can't lay down when I use my oxygen it makes it harder to breath if I breath through my mouth it gets all dry etc. I feel miserable I'm using flonase and saline spray trying to flush it out my ears hurt I have no energy at all feel awful.
My sinus infection gave me a headache and face aches. It's difficult hearing from my right ear.
My sinus infection started out as an allergy and then I developed a sore throat. Four days later my throat was very sore and red. No headache really but felt cold, nauseous, with a rotten taste in my mouth, and had postnasal drip. I saw my doctor yesterday and she said it was a sinus infection so now I am on antibiotics.
I have had a sinus infection for the past six months. I have been to see my doctor two times. I have a chemical smell in my nasal passage that smells like burnt plastic. I can find some relief with Flonase spray, but it just doesn't go away.
With my sinus infection I have a complete loss of smell (therefore effecting your taste almost completely). It is very scary. It eventually comes back slowly with a foul taste from the infection draining out (it has no where else to go).
I just returned from my dentist after being up all night with excruciating pain in all the teeth on my upper left side. She took xrays and decided that it has to be a sinus infection because I see a dentist regularly and no dental problems shown on xray. After 2 doses of antibiotics my pain was completely gone. I hadn't been sick but now my nose is running and my throat hurts.

Who was Baby Doe, and how did her body end up in a trash bag on a Boston Harbor beach?
These are the questions Massachusetts State Police are attempting to answer, with help from the National Center for Missing & Exploited Children and some 50 million strangers.
The child nicknamed "Baby Doe" was first discovered on June 25, when a woman walking her dog on Deer Island in Boston Harbor came across a trash bag on the beach. Inside was the decomposing corpse of a girl who experts estimate was about four years old. She was wearing white leggings with black polka dots, authorities say, and a zebra-print blanket was stuffed in the bag with her.
Using photos of her remains, the National Center for Missing & Exploited Children produced a computer-generated image of what the girl may have looked like when she was alive. This photo was posted to the Massachusetts State Police Facebook page on July 2, and has received nearly 60,000 likes, over 670,000 shares, and nearly 50 million views since.
"The amount of views of this post is a record for us," a spokesman for the State Police told NBC News. "It goes to show the power and reach of social media. This case (unfortunately) is pulling on the heart strings, which I am sure has played a role in having it shared."
The 52,000 comments on the photo contain a long list of the places the image has been shared (Colombia, Australia, and Montreal, Canada are among the most recent), tips and names of young girls resembling the image, and condolences to the family, whoever they may be.
So far, investigators have tracked down 20 names supplied by the public, but all 20 girls were found to be alive.
Adding to the mystery of Baby Doe is the fact that investigators still don't know how she died. There were no obvious signs of trauma to her body, and an autopsy performed by the state medical examiner's office did not determine the manner or cause of her death, the Boston Herald reports. As of Tuesday, authorities were still awaiting the results of toxicology tests to determine if she had been poisoned or drugged.
State police spokesman David Procopio told the Boston Herald that investigators are grateful to the public for "caring about this little innocent" and "continue our request for leads."
"We need people to continue to look at her and think about her and let us know if anything in their memory clicks," he said.
This wouldn't be the first time social network users came together to help the police. Social media has been instrumental in finding many missing children, and earlier this year Facebook teamed up with the National Center for Missing & Exploited Children to send Amber Alerts to the news feed of users in nearby areas.
"There are so many parts of America where law enforcement is stretched so thin.… The media is a huge tool. But now we have a powerful social networking platform that can let people know immediately," John Walsh, the co-founder of the National Center for Missing and Exploited Children, told ABC News.
"It is a fantastic way to use social networking for good."

Being involved in a personal injury accident or any situation in which another individual's recklessness or negligent behavior has caused injuries, you need to take action to represent yourself moving forward. Even if you are not yet sure whether you will file a personal injury case, there are three major mistakes you can make early on that can compromise the integrity of such a case and make it more difficult for you to move on.
The first big mistake to make after a personal injury accident is failing to get medical treatment for your injuries. Sometimes people refuse transportation by ambulance to a hospital or any emergency medical treatment because they believe it is unnecessary. This could be a mistake because if you have any injuries at all following a personal injury accident such as a car wreck, you need a medical evaluation. This can help to identify those issues that are more challenging to spot at the scene of the accident like a traumatic brain injury and it can also serve as proof of your injury later on if you do choose to file a personal injury claim.
The second big mistake you can make in a personal injury case is telling the insurance company that you were not that seriously injured. The insurance company may ask that you provide a recorded statement at some point in time but doing so could be in the insurance company's best interest and not yours. This is why it is recommended that you retain a personal injury attorney as soon as possible to represent you and advise you about whether or not this is in your best interest.
The third major mistake you could make in a personal injury claim is failing to hire an experienced personal injury lawyer. Telling your lawyer all of the facts as soon as possible after the accident has occurred gives him or her the best possible chance to craft a compelling and meaningful case for your future. Identifying an attorney who has extensive experience in the type of accident in which you have sustained injuries can make a big difference on the outcome of your case and your ability to recover compensation and move on with your life.

The first step towards diagnosis is a blood test. Following a positive blood test, the most conclusive way to diagnose coeliac disease is by taking a biopsy from the small intestine.
It is important to be on a gluten containing diet before testing in order to ensure the most accurate result. Four slices of ordinary bread a day for six weeks or more should be sufficient.
It is important not to self diagnose. A life long gluten-free diet is a big commitment which should only be undertaken if necessary. An official diagnosis is required to take advantage of the financial support available.
Blood tests
Your GP can take a blood test for antibodies – Immunoglobulin A (IgA) anti-tissue transglutaminase antibodies(IgA tTGA) and anti-endomysial antibodies (IgA EMA). If results show raised tTG or positive EMA then you should be referred to a consultant gastroenterologist for a biopsy. Bear in mind that negative screening blood tests do not always exclude coeliac disease, as a small minority of coeliacs may also have IgA deficiency and the screening test results will be misleading. In children under the age of three the blood tests can be particularly unreliable.
There are some do it yourself test blood test kits available from abroad. The Coeliac Society recommend that you have a blood test organised by your doctor.
The biopsy procedure is called an upper gastro-intestinal endoscopy or oesophagastroduodenoscopy (OGD). A gastroscope (a small tube) is passed through the mouth and down into the duodenum or jejunum. A very small piece of tissue is taken from the wall of the intestine. The tissue is examined under a microscope to check for damage to the villi.
Having the Biopsy
The biopsy is usually carried out in an outpatient clinic. You will be asked to fast overnight beforehand and the procedure itself takes 10 – 15 minutes (excluding waiting and preparation time). In adults it is usually carried out under light sedation, children are given a general anaesthetic. There is no pain when the biopsy is taken.

SPRINGFIELD, Ore. — The management at an Oregon apartment complex has relented and will allow a 70-year-old Navy veteran to hang his American flag in the commons area on Veterans Day — and some other days, as well.
The nonprofit organization that runs the subsidized downtown housing complex had threatened to evict Edward Zivica for violating the rules against hanging anything on exterior walls.
But St. Vincent de Paul of Lane County said Friday it got "a lot of attention" when the story spread nationally the day before.
So, it announced an agreement with Zivica: He can stay and the flag can be displayed on days the two parties have agreed on, "provided it is done in a manner that's respectful to the flag and our other tenants."
Zivica has been a resident at the apartment complex in Springfield since it opened in 2009 and has been at odds with the management over his practice of hanging a large flag in the commons area on significant days.
The last such was Navy Day, Oct. 27.
After that, Zivica got a notice saying he'd be evicted unless he signed a compliance note.
Zivica was in the Navy's Submarine Service in the 1960s. He said the flag he'd been displaying was one the Army sent him on the death of his father, a World War II veteran.
