Trivialisation of presidency
By S Gurumurthy
Published: 07th June 2012 12:13 AM
Last Updated: 07th June 2012 01:37 PM
The Congress President Sonia Gandhi has been authorized by her party to name the candidates for the offices of President and Vice President. The President is the highest constitutional office. The story of this constitutional office – how this high office fell from its high pedestal, touched a low, then recovered and then again fell into indignity – needs to be recalled in the context of its current low and the ensuing election to the high office. Most respected leaders like Dr Rajendra Prasad, Dr S Radhakrishnan and Dr Zakir Hussain were Presidents from 1950 till 1969 and they added great dignity to the office. But the incumbents between late 1960s and late 1980s were not even their pale version and they brought indignity to the office. Later it recovered before falling into the depth of indignity again in 2007.
In 1969, the election to the high office was caught in the nasty split in the Congress party. It demeaned election itself and corrupted the high office. The then Prime Minister Indira Gandhi, who had first signed the nomination papers of Neelam Sanjeeva Reddy, the official Congress candidate, betrayed him and her party, U-turned to support the opposition candidate VV Giri, used all the state power at her command and got Reddy defeated and Giri elected. This made VV Giri first, and Fakruddin Ali Ahmed later, mere attaches of the ruling party. Giri, who was repeatedly on cartoons as a signing machine, put his signatures on all papers that Indira Gandhi sent thro' courier. Fakruddin Ali Ahmed was rudely woken up at midnight on June 25, 1975 and asked to sign the emergency proclamation which he faithfully did. Its effect was telling in six hour, with Newspapers without news and the entire opposition in jail. After these two men, Sanjeeva Reddy became the President under the Janata Party, and he hardly improved the situation. It was back to Giri-Ahmed days in 1982 when Giani Zail Singh, again a ruling party attaché, became President. Towards the end of his term, on coming to know that Rajiv Gandhi would not repeat him for a second term, he revolted and even plotted to dismiss Rajiv who had 4/5 majority in Parliament! This showed the spirit of revenge of a small man occupying a high office, not his independence as President of India.
Later, the election of R Venkatraman and his successor SD Sharma again raised the stature of the office. Their successor, KR Narayanan, largely did a holding operation. Finally, Dr Abdul Kalam, dismissed as a political novice when he was chosen for the high office, restored its high dignity. His choice was particularly significant. He never even knew that he had been chosen by the NDA as its candidate for the office. The then Prime Minister AB Vajpayee had to ask the Intelligence Bureau to trace out where Dr Kalam was – and he was addressing Plus-2 students in a town in distant South – to inform him over phone that he had been chosen as the NDA candidate for Presidency! Tall men do not apply for positions. A Rajendra Prasad had to be persuaded to become the President. A Rajaji had to be requested to become the Chief Minister. Some of them have even rejected high offices. A Jayaprakash Narayan refused Pundit Nehru's offer to him to be the Deputy Prime Minister. Yet, it is only tall men in high office make the offices respectable. High offices held by small men trivialises the offices. Small men are just tolerated, rarely respected, as high functionaries.
But with the election of Mrs Pratibha Devi Sigh Patil as President in 2007, the dignity of the highest constitutional office has been discounted to a new low. On what basis was she chosen for the high office? That best kept secret became public through an inadvertent disclosure by a Rajasthan Minister. He told the Congress workers that Pratibha Patil, who was the governor of Rajasthan, was made the President for her loyalty to Indira Gandhi family and "she used to make tea, cook food, and clean utensils" for the Gandhi family. He also told the congress workers that 'he was only giving an example of what being loyal and dedicated to the family could bring'. The poor man lost his job for saying this truth in public. Much earlier Pratibha Patil, on her election, first expressed her gratefulness to Sonia! Yet, the excuse for her choice was that she would be the first woman to become the President. Was there no better women? There were. But they didn't cook for the Gandhis. So in 2007 to mean that the Rashtrapathi Bhavan became extension of the Gandhi kitchen. The office of the President stands irretrievably demeaned now.
Now the election of the new President is approaching. A right choice will regain lost dignity of the office. Like the choice of SD Sharma, R Venkatraman and Abdul Kalam lifted the dignity of the high office from its low. But with Sonia again given the right to choose the candidate, a Pratibha Patil-sort of candidate is more likely than a Kalam-type. The names of Pranab Mukherjee, Meira Kumar, Sangma Ansari are doing the rounds. Pranabda has openly expressed his desire to walk on the lawns of the Rashtrapathi Bhavan. His desire is understandable for three reasons. One, he is fatigued with his job, being the most over-worked minister in the UPA cabinet, heading most of the Groups of Ministers. Two, he knows that his career promotion from Number Two to Number One in the government is sealed as Sonia Gandhi would never allow him to become PM. Three, now is the least opportune time to be finance minister, with the national economy threatening to repeat 1991 after two decades of reform. With Rupee crash bankrupting the country, Pranabda probably wants to retire in Rashtrapathi Bhavan and walk in the lawns. But, will Sonia allow allow him that luxury? God knows. Sangma has apologised to her for telling that truth that she is a foreigner. Still, would she excuse him? God knows. Is she for Meira Kumar? God knows. Who else is she looking for? Another cook? God knows.
Tail piece: Recently, a cartoon of an advertisement inviting application for President's job appeared in the famous 'Tughlak' magazine edited by Cho Ramaswamy. It read: "A rare employment opportunity for the aged. Position: President of India; Age: above 35 [over 80 preferred]; Job: speak words of solace to people on Republic Day; keep the mercy petitions of murderers and other pending infinitely; travel on plane to different countries with family. Salary: Rs 1.5 lakh per month".

Hats off to you, Gurumurthiji! Many Congress sycophants will abuse you for exposing the truth regarding the way the President of India has been chosen in recent past. It is a disgrace that Congress party does not have one person in its rank who can stand up to the 'Super party leader' and question her rational in the nomination of the candidate This sort of total subservience is the root cause of all our country's problems.Your reference to Thuglak cartoon was very appropriate and valid. Keep your good work without loosing hopes!,

The debit for demeaning the office of the President in 2007, does not exclusively lie with Congress and Sonia. The Left parties share an equal portion of the demeaning pie, because it was them who immediately approved the nomination of the current President. Like you I shall recall a fully loaded comment of Cho Ramasamy some years back about the Lefts, "When Lefts have a future in India, India is left with no future".

Sir, Well written. so the tail piece. God only knows who would bring back the glory & dignity of the highest constitutional office that from its low. Mr Narayana Murthy's name was also doing its rounds. Has he refused because he is also a tall man!

Even K.R.Narayanan did no good to the prestige of the Presidency when he commuted the death sentence of two murderers, who murdered 23 people (the Chilakaluripeta bus burning case) because of their caste.

Dr. Mark Schaefer's responsibilities including overseeing fisheries management and preserving coastal resources.
Dr. Mark Schaefer has been confirmed as NOAA's assistant secretary for conservation and management, with Dr. Kathryn Sullivan, acting under secretary of commerce for oceans and atmosphere and acting NOAA administrator, issuing a statement Aug. 2 that says he was actually confirmed under the position's former title, Assistant Secretary of Oceans and Atmosphere, because of an administrative error.
Schaefer will be responsible for driving NOAA's policies and programs in areas ranging from enabling marine transportation to managing fisheries and protecting and preserving coastal resources. "I want to congratulate Mark on his confirmation and welcome him to our team," Sullivan said in her statement. "For more than 30 years, Mark has worked at the intersection of science and policy, both in the private and public sectors. During this time, he has strived to foster scientific and technological innovation to effectively manage and conserve our nation's natural resources.
"Day in and day out, NOAA strives to understand our planet -- from the surface of the sun to the depths of the ocean floor. Mark will be an integral part of this overall mission and will provide valuable expertise and insight as we work to make our coastlines more resilient, end overfishing and rebuild fisheries from coast to coast, and restore ocean and coastal habitats."

Charmin, Kleenex Cottonelle, Quilted Northern and Scott are among the toilet papers and tissues that do the most harm to forests and the environment, according to a new report by Greenpeace.
The non-profit research group evaluated dozens of brands of toilet paper, facial tissue, paper, towels, and napkins according to three criteria:
How much recycled content they contained
Using 100% recycled content helps protect forests because it significantly reduces the demand for trees, especially trees coming from native forests.
How much of that was post-consumer waste
To get the top ranking, at least 50% post-consumer waste needed to be used in manufacturing the product.
How the paper was bleached
The top-ranked products are not bleached using chlorine, which can create the toxic byproduct dioxin.
According to Greenpeace, Americans could save more than 400,000 trees if each family bought a roll of recycled toilet paper just once.
Related: 11 Ways to Save Trees ... Without Planting One
The group has produced a pocket guide you can use when you shop to buy the most eco-friendly option.
Of course, when it comes to napkins and towels, use cloth, and avoid the paper debate altogether.

June 8, 2012 05:30 ET
On my radio program of June 6, 2012 I pointed out how gold has been leading the equity markets. In this commentary, I shall show how the two divergences from 2007 to this year will end and result in a short term collapse in stock prices. First, let's review the chart of the S&P 500 versus the GLD ETF from 2007 to June 7, 2012:
The initial divergence as highlighted in the chart above shows that gold and equities had a wide spread with no indication of economic problems and the proverbial "risk on" trade that was initiated by the Federal Reserve under Alan Greenspan could continue for some time. There was no reason to invest in gold as the economic perception was that there was not a detectable economic emergency or crisis. That false perception changed after the collapse started in February 2007 as gold climbed sharply only to end the divergence in the summer of 2008 where everything started to collapse. After the reflation trade of 2009 began with the Fed's QE1, the GLD (aka gold) led the S&P 500 until the summer of 2011 where the second major break in the chart pattern occurred. This break was due to the Federal Reserve's half measure known as "Operation Twist" where as gold was predicting a massive Quantitative Easing program which never happened.
The second chart puts the past year's events into sharper focus:
The chart illustrates with the two blue and red arrows the synergy between gold and equities moving in tandem until the break last summer. After the perceived failure to reflate an economy that would deteriorate in the future was realized, the circled portion of the chart indicates the double top in the GLD/Gold which has been in a long term decline since last summer. Meanwhile equities diverged from the move in gold and rallied one more time in 2012 as the markets have been given a Pavlovian like reaction to believe that the Fed would bail out everyone regardless of the economic consequences.
Gold however has warned that this is not the case. When you analyze the year long bear market in gold prices it becomes apparent that this consolidation has one more major move to the down side and support in the GLD is between 124-128, in the physical gold between $1260 to $1360 per ounce. While it is this author's opinion that when gold bottoms that will indicate that the intermediate term bottom in equities is forthcoming with support for the S&P 500 around the 990-1006 area. If it breaks that support area, it probably means gold has at least temporarily broken the long term support of $1280 per ounce but the reaction of such a massive correction will be met by a panic response from the world's central bankers. The schism between stocks and gold is in the process of ending now and as I warned on May 6th, the signal gold is sending is loud and clear with short term deflation and more deleveraging in the cards. As this split ends and markets turn one more time to the upside following gold's lead, look for both markets to move in a parabolic fashion with the S&P 500 topping the 1800 level easily as gold breaks above $2900 per ounce.

Conrad Beach resident Dan Whelan knew the problem was getting out of control when he heard a trespasser give directions to a friend on how to get to Whelan's community swimming pool.
Since the North Shore Road beach access was closed a few weeks ago because of a lack of beach in the area, the Broadway beach access has seen an increase in traffic, trespassing and vandalism.
"There were more people parking in the streets where they are not supposed to, more drinking on the beaches than usual and more people walking through private property," said Whelan, who contacted Commissioner Gene Jaleski about the issue last week.
Whelan asked for help in combating the illegal activity, which generally increases in May, at which time the Longboat Key Police Department reinstates its ATV beach patrols on the popular swath of beach.
After reviewing the increased activity, especially during the weekends, Longboat Key Police Chief Al Hogle and Deputy Chief Martin Sharkey agreed to reinstate the beach patrol a few weeks earlier than scheduled.
Last weekend, the part-time beach patrol officer made his return to the north end and will stay on patrol for weekend duty through August.
The reinstatement of the position, which will be eliminated after the summer months for budgetary reasons, has also helped reduce incidents on Greer Island, also known as Beer Can Island.
"The extra officer strength is helping, and we haven't had any additional calls or concerns," Hogle said.
Sharkey also determined that "No Parking" signs need to be placed on the west side of Firehouse Road and on both the north and south sides of Firehouse Court. The placement of the signs will eliminate 20 or more places where beachgoers are parking their cars illegally and protect Conrad Beach and Longbeach's grass areas from parking.

Kinder, gentler or same old Orange?
The annual Orange marches have passed relatively peacefully in Northern Ireland this year, and it seems a good faith effort is underway to try and reorient the day from one of triumphalism to one of community outreach and a potential tourist attraction.
Good luck with that. The modernizers want to call the day "Orangefest" and try and bring tourists around to watch as the 50,000 or so marchers make their way across every major town and country site in Northern Ireland.
It is a praiseworthy effort, and Orange leaders were recently in New York explaining the new attempts. There may well come the day when the venom has been extracted from the July 12th celebrations, but that is still some way off.
The latest attempt, while brave, is an effort that flies in the face of recent history, however.
Memories don't fade away quite as fast. The 12th has long been an occasion for bigotry, from the "Kick the Pope" bands to sectarian attacks on Nationalist areas.
During the height of The Troubles the Orange marching day was the culmination of the marching season, which led to huge standoffs between both sides in the North.
Many horrific killings resulted from those tensions, and it is very premature to assume the communal memory has faded of those events quite so fast.
The 12th may well have been a celebration of a long ago battle at the Boyne in 1690, but it came to symbolize for generations of Catholics the "croppie lie down" mentality on the Orange side.
The thunderous beat of the huge drums was just a small way of instilling fear into the Nationalist communities, while the insistence on marching wherever they liked through Nationalist neighborhoods was also a statement of supremacy and contempt for the feelings of the other community.
As the demographics of Northern Ireland shifted and many parade routes were now going through Nationalist areas, the stand offs often reached crisis proportions.
Even still the echoes of the infamous Drumcree standoff continue.
Local Nationalist residents near the town of Portadown there have essentially won the battle to keep the Orange march off their territory on its way back from its march into the nearby town.
In 1998, the first year the march was rerouted, huge Protestant protests erupted. Orangemen supporters set fire to a Catholic house in Ballymoney, County Antrim. Three little boys, Richard, Mark and Jason Quinn, were burned alive.
Little wonder that the kinder, gentler Orange image takes some getting used to for many Nationalists, but even in terms of Drumcree there has been positive progress in the past few weeks.
First Minister Peter Robinson met with both sides in that dispute, a huge step forward in what has been a running sore for far too long in Northern Ireland.
There are many such flashpoints still around, however. Recently a Catholic was kicked to death by a Loyalist mob after the Glasgow Rangers soccer club won the Scottish League. Several Orange halls were attacked by extreme Republicans in the run up to the Orange marches.

Mitt Romney's senior adviser Ed Gillespie, discusses the recent attacks the Obama campaign has launched against Romney's timeline of employment with Bain Capital.
Democrats pressed their attack Sunday on Mitt Romney's record as head of the investment firm Bain Capital in the 1990's.
Sen. Dick Durbin, D-Ill., the Senate majority whip, asked on NBC's Meet the Press, "Why is Mitt Romney running away from his company, Bain Capital, like a scalded cat? Because there's abundant evidence that under Bain Capital they were exporting American jobs to low-wage countries and he doesn't want to be associated with it."
Defending Romney's record at Bain Capital, Romney campaign advisor Ed Gillespie told NBC's David Gregory that outsourcing – U.S. companies setting up foreign operations to replace operations in the United States – was due partly to President Barack Obama's policies of imposing "excessive regulations" and maintaining a high corporate tax rate.
Romney campaign senior adviser Ed Gillespie tells NBC's David Gregory that Mitt Romney thinks businesses "should be free to make decisions in the interest of their shareholders."
Gillespie charged that Obama's policies are "forcing jobs overseas."
Gillespie contended that some of the money in the $830 billion stimulus program which Obama signed into law in 2009 was channeled into companies and jobs in China, Finland, Mexico, and Denmark, instead of in the United States.
At the same time, Gillespie did not condemn outsourcing in every instance. He said that Romney believes that "American companies should be free – we have a free economy -- to make decisions that are in the interests of their shareholders, and what we need to do is make those decisions more attractive to invest here in the United States, rather than making it more attractive to go overseas, which is what the Obama policies do."
The Obama campaign has spent the past few days accusing Romney of lying after the Boston Globe reported that he'd retained the title of chief executive and chairman of Bain Capital until 2002, three years beyond the date he said he ceded control.
With the Bain issue, the Obama campaign is repeating charges first made against Romney when he ran for governor of Massachusetts in 2002. His Democratic opponent, Shannon O'Brien, accused him of being culpable in layoffs at a Kansas City steel mill that went bankrupt in 2001 after Bain Capital had profited from an investment in the company.
Assistant Democratic Leader Sen. Dick Durbin says Mitt Romney needs to provide greater disclosure of his financial statements and Assistant Republican Leader Sen. Jon Kyl argues the attacks from the Obama campaign are baseless.
Fortune Magazine reported Thursday that "offering documents" that Bain Capital sent to potential investors in 2000 and 2001 provide contemporaneous evidence that Romney had no active role in managing the firm after 1999 when he left to run the Winter Olympics in Utah.
Romney "took a leave of absence from Bain to go and run the Olympics in Salt Lake City…..The International Olympic Committee was going to pull the Olympics from the United States which would have been a huge embarrassment for our country," Gillespie said. Romney "left a life that he loved to help a country that he loved even more."
Stephanie Cutter, Obama's deputy campaign manager, told reporters Thursday that either Romney had misrepresented his position at Bain in filings with the Securities and Exchange Commission "which is a felony, or he was misrepresenting his position at Bain to the American people to avoid responsibility for some of the consequences of his investments…"
Durbin sidestepped the question of whether Cutter's use of the term "felony" was improper; instead the Illinois Democrat said the disclosure documents which Romney and Bain Capital filed with the SEC from 2000 to 2002 were "completely confusing" because they said he was the chief executive of the firm, and yet he has said he was no longer at the firm.
On the question of whether Romney ought to release his tax returns for years before 2010, Gillespie said that two years of returns were sufficient.
He contended that the Obama campaign was using the tax return issue to try to distract voters' attention from the "dismal" state of the American economy. The real issue, he said, "is what are we going to do to make it where more Americans are filing their incomes taxes because they have a job?" He cited Bureau of Labor Statistics data showing that 23 million Americans are unemployed, underemployed, or have left the work force.

Economic and Monetary Union of the European Union
This article needs additional citations for verification. (March 2007) |
The Economic and Monetary Union (EMU)[1][2] is an umbrella term for the group of policies aimed at converging the economies of all member states of the European Union at three stages. Both the 17 eurozone states and the 11 non-euro states are EMU members. A Member State however needs to comply and be a part of the "third EMU stage", before being able to adopt the euro currency; and as such the "third EMU stage" has also become largely synonymous with the eurozone.
All Member States of the European Union, except Denmark and the United Kingdom, have committed themselves by treaty to join the "third EMU stage". The Copenhagen criteria is the current set of conditions of entry for new states wanting to join the EU. It contains the requirements that need to be fulfilled and the time framework within which this must be done, in order for a country to join the monetary union. An important element of this, is a participation for minimum two years in the European Exchange Rate Mechanism ("ERM II"), in which candidate currencies demonstrate economic convergence by maintaining limited deviation from their target rate against the euro.
Seventeen member states of the European Union, including, most recently, Estonia, have entered the "third EMU stage" and have adopted the euro as their currency. Denmark, Latvia and Lithuania are the current participants in the Exchange Rate Mechanism (ERM II). Denmark and United Kingdom has received a special opt out from the EU Treaty, allowing for a permanent membership of ERM II, without being required to enter into the "third EMU stage". Latvia and Lithuania have yet to comply with all convergence criteria to proceed into the third stage. In regards of the remaining non-euro member states (Sweden, Poland, Czech Republic, Hungary, Romania, Bulgaria and Croatia), they are committed by treaty to enter the third stage upon the time of complying with all convergence criteria; of which the last one (ERM II membership) however is something the member state can choose not to apply for, if they do not want to adopt the euro. The 11 non-euro EU member states will continue to use their own local and historic currencies.

Policies and issues
First ideas of an economic and monetary union in Europe were raised well before establishing the European Communities. For example, already in the League of Nations, Gustav Stresemann asked in 1929 for a European currency[3] against the background of an increased economic division due to a number of new nation states in Europe after WWI.
A first attempt to create an economic and monetary union between the members of the European Communities goes back to an initiative by the European Commission in 1969, which set out the need for "greater co-ordination of economic policies and monetary cooperation,"[4] which was followed by the decision of the Heads of State or Government at their summit meeting in The Hague in 1969 to draw up a plan by stages with a view to creating an economic and monetary union by the end of the 1970s.
On the basis of various previous proposals, an expert group chaired by Luxembourg's Prime Minister and Finance Minister, Pierre Werner, presented in October 1970 the first commonly agreed blueprint to create an economic and monetary union in three stages (Werner plan). The project experienced serious setbacks from the crises arising from the non-convertibility of the US dollar into gold in August 1971 (i.e., the collapse of the Bretton Woods System) and from rising oil prices in 1972. An attempt to limit the fluctations of European currencies, using a snake in the tunnel, failed.
The debate on EMU was fully re-launched at the Hannover Summit in June 1988, when an ad hoc committee (Delors Committee) of the central bank governors of the twelve member states, chaired by the President of the European Commission, Jacques Delors, was asked to propose a new timetable with clear, practical and realistic steps for creating an economic and monetary union.[5] This way of working was derived from the Spaak method.
The Delors report of 1989 set out a plan to introduce the EMU in three stages and it included the creation of institutions like the European System of Central Banks (ESCB), which would become responsible for formulating and implementing monetary policy.
The three stages for the implementation of the EMU were the following:
Stage One: 1 July 1990 to 31 December 1993[edit]
- On 1 July 1990, exchange controls were abolished, thus capital movements were completely liberalised in the European Economic Community.
- The Treaty of Maastricht in 1992 establishes the completion of the EMU as a formal objective and sets a number of economic convergence criteria, concerning the inflation rate, public finances, interest rates and exchange rate stability.
- The treaty enters into force on the 1 November 1993.
Stage Two: 1 January 1994 to 31 December 1998[edit]
- The European Monetary Institute is established as the forerunner of the European Central Bank, with the task of strengthening monetary cooperation between the member states and their national banks, as well as supervising ECU banknotes.
- On 16 December 1995, details such as the name of the new currency (the euro) as well as the duration of the transition periods are decided.
- On 16–17 June 1997, the European Council decides at Amsterdam to adopt the Stability and Growth Pact, designed to ensure budgetary discipline after creation of the euro, and a new exchange rate mechanism (ERM II) is set up to provide stability above the euro and the national currencies of countries that haven't yet entered the eurozone.
- On 3 May 1998, at the European Council in Brussels, the 11 initial countries that will participate in the third stage from 1 January 1999 are selected.
- On 1 June 1998, the European Central Bank (ECB) is created, and in 31 December 1998, the conversion rates between the 11 participating national currencies and the euro are established.
Stage Three: 1 January 1999 and continuing[edit]
- From the start of 1999, the euro is now a real currency, and a single monetary policy is introduced under the authority of the ECB. A three-year transition period begins before the introduction of actual euro notes and coins, but legally the national currencies have already ceased to exist.
- On 1 January 2001, Greece joins the third stage of the EMU.
- On 1 January 2002, the euro notes and coins are introduced.
- On 1 January 2007, Slovenia joins the third stage of the EMU.
- On 1 January 2008, Cyprus and Malta join the third stage of the EMU.
- On 1 January 2009, Slovakia joins the third stage of the EMU.
- On 1 January 2011, Estonia joins the third stage of the EMU.
- On 1 January 2014, Latvia will join the third stage of the EMU.
There have been debates as to whether the Eurozone countries constitute an optimum currency area.[6]
Monetary policy inflexibility[edit]
Since membership of the eurozone establishes a single monetary policy, individual member states can no longer act independently, preventing them from printing money in order to pay creditors and ease their risk of default. By "printing money" a country's currency is devalued relative to its (eurozone) trading partners, making its exports cheaper, in principle leading to an improved balance of trade, increased GDP and higher tax revenues in nominal terms.[7]

my doctor put me on Dianette for my hormonal acne, which is a stong contraceptive pill. I've not taken any contraceptives for a lot of years but figured I'd give it a go.
After 3 weeks I stopped taking it and had a week off from it. That was last Saturday and I felt like crap, lethargic, headachey, generally achey and just down in the dumps. I also had the most painful heavy period that I've had in a long time and a touch of cycstitus. Not very pleasant and resulted with me having to take some time off work.
I thought that was all out of the way but this Saturday, when I started taking the pill again I've felt the same and I'm incapable of doing anything. Do you think it's a coincidence? I've been fully raw lf vegan for exactly 1 week, but before that I was about 50% with cooked vegan meals in-between.
I'm tempted to stop taking it, but am unsure. Has anyone had any similar experiences and if so how did you handle it?
*Forgot to add is really nice and sunny here and I'm cold and covered in goose bumps, but really hot to the touch.
I agree with the everyone who said STOP taking the pill!
I'm pretty much in the same situation as you now. I've been taking birth control pills for quite a while and was on and off the pill several times. The reason I started taking the pill is because of acne as well. It did help me with acne at the beginning, but whenever I decide to go off the pill my acne comes back and becomes more and more aggressive. Plus, the pill messed up my periods. When I'm off the pill my periods almost disappear.
Now I've been off the pill for about 6 month and I'm trying to cure my acne with HCRV. I've been HCRV for about 4 month. The only thing that helps to clear my skin is drinking a LOT of water! 3 liters a day min. I also noticed that bananas and dates make me to break out. These fruits have low water content compare to other fruits. Also if I don't get enough sleep my skin shows it right the way - I get pimples on my forehead.
So, I'm sort of dependent of HCRV healthy lifestyle now, LOL - LOTS WATER, LOW FAT, LOTS OF SLEEP and EXERCISE..
So hang in there girl. I'm with you!
If you want to talk about send me a message!
Thanks so much, everyone's comments have really helped. I've only been on the pill one month so am hoping coming off it won't have too much of an effect appart from making me feel awesome! I'm fully prepared for my skin to get worse again, I already only use water on my face, but will get a soft face brush too to make sure I'm exfoliating. I feel loads more positive about it now and hopefully I'll get this thing beat!
"The reason I started taking the pill is because of acne as well. It did help me with acne at the beginning, but whenever I decide to go off the pill my acne comes back and becomes more and more aggressive." - EXACTLY! It's kinda nuts actually lol. Same thing I went through over the last couple of years.
Your journey sounds a lot like mine :). I have found that dates make me break out (improving over time though) if I eat over 1000 calories from them/day over a few days, regardless of the amount of water I drink, but bananas are great, as long as I get 3L of water/day :).
Here we go!)) How long have you been off the pill so far??
I've been off it for 11 months now :)! It's been a crazy ride. I still took it the first month I was LFRV for some reason lol, I still didn't realize just how bad it was at that point. I wrote a huge blog post about it on my page lol.
How long have you been off it??
I've been off the pill for about 6 month and LFRV for about 4 month. I can't recall when the last time I had my period since getting off the pill..)) But I'm not really surprised about it. My hormones are all messed up. That actually was the reason for me many times to start taking the pill again. I thought that I need to have the freaking period. Now I just let the things heal itself. I'm more educated than I was before.
this video, about birth control, is awesome.. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0Tqz6aQ2Qz4 :)
I agree with everyone else! Don't take the pill! I tried it recently to help with PMS depression. That's a joke. I had PMS symptoms from the start of taking them (depression) and had to stop taking them within a couple of weeks. It was horrible.
Cheers, I haven't taken my pill today. I still feel really weak, faint and achey but am hoping it will pass. I'm off to the docs this afternoon to let them know I've stopped taking it and I'm also going to ask for a blood test to make sure I'm getting everything I should. Fingers crossed I feel human again soon!
I just got off the pill after a month.. I was a total bitch and cried over everything. I also started having obsessive thoughts.. It was insane. Then I googled bcp side effects and realized that other women were experiencing these moods swings too. It's nice not to worry about getting pregnant, but I hate myself when I start crying over stupid things. My acne went away too in a month.. but idk if it's because I've been using another cream on my face. I can send you what it is if you'd like. All I know is that I will never go back to the pill.. I hate myself on it. I cried all day yesterday over nothing. Monday night was the last night I took the pill. But I still feel sensitive. I want to be myself again!

Rebecca Minkoff Clutch, Handbag of the Day
Filed under: Handbags
Small, but stylish, the Rebecca Minkoff Clutch was clearly inspired by larger, briefcase-type bags. In miniature, however, this brown leather clutch is ideal for casual situations when you only need to carry a key and a little bit of money and want something to go with a chic jeans-and-boots outfit. The little bag has a zipper at the top and a small front flap pocket that secures with a gold tone clasp. There are two metal rings on one end that allow the clutch to be secured to another bag or a keychain, letting it function more as a change purse than a separate bag. Price: $253.

I -- wants to get kids as young as seven not on its website it could be a vast untapped audience could it not.
But it's also troubling for some parents joining us now -- both sides of the argument that him walk.
Columnist and radio host Miriam welcomed the program get paid for having let's take it festival from the Facebook's side effects if they can -- being a large audience of on the Philippines that is a gold mine isn't it's.
Potentially a gold mining the numbers are not fixed I'm sure that FaceBook has its own.
Resources of numbers available but right now out there there's a tremendous amount of speculation.
But I have to imagine after the snap crackle and flop of a couple of weeks ago that they are looking for actually every venue possible.
Every area possible that he's got that through the the voting got kids on the that -- have a -- in children yeah that's right sell it damp weather data is skewed.
And if they're selling information to advertisers etc.
who are going to bite space or when advertise on FaceBook they're numbers -- need to be accurate.
In a Boeing company because they've -- -- corrected this lying kids problem and the appetizing.
Stuff that the giving out which is not that accurate right for the same time.
They got a problem admitting that they got -- kids on the account.
Think that they have problems admitting it consumer reports did report last year that our -- and a half million FaceBook users who are under thirteen seven million and five million of that are under ten.
Now as moms.
I mean that that is a staggering terrifying.
Earth shattering number.
Can and that's the other side of the Cohen helped my mother six -- -- mother got us on the father of six Tracy's got three heaven knows about shipments like.
Flat -- out tonight now it's always yeah I haven't stepped up yet again.
We accept that FaceBook gets hold of the of the thirteen market -- a potential gold mine I got it now the other side of the coin is parents yeah.
You think that's -- minefield.
Mop up in terms of the ethics -- Somalia in terms of the responsibility listen bespoke has responsibilities both the parents.
Both to the regulators both to the kids etc.
we have to wonder if there is an ethical value and ethical.
Part of Facebook's.
Entire business model and I don't -- Can wait a second FaceBook says yet you don't know thirteen you couldn't come on book you gonna happen parental supervision.
That takes care of the ethical problem of the danger problem doesn't it I -- this FaceBook -- this idea of FaceBook for kids under thirteen this new technology this new software that's being developed it goes in tandem with what pants have available to them.
Anything that the child will go on and finding that they accept any friend.
Requests that they send out will all be through the parents -- I accept all that however.
It takes a village we have to wonder what parents and FaceBook.
-- to take a step back FaceBook have responsibility to parents to make sure that they.
Are educating parents as she knew how to navigate FaceBook and the Internet safely and -- responsibly.
With those kids we -- have a responsibility to the children themselves to help them that it.
It will you let your kids on the thirteen on FaceBook with -- supervision yes don't know not.
Would you let your kids on the thirteen on FaceBook with places television -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- I don't know that there's anything wrong with that assuming that you are ready to be responsible to work in tandem and to have every single move that your child.
You may make -- if a -- on your Blackberry -- every year or assess new technology it has -- deal with it come -- I'm not I'm not looking to avoid it but.
-- -- -- to make sure that we still have and has in place parameters for our kids that we say at this point you can do -- poignancy but until then what they're older they.
They could have secrets from you.
Cause I put their friends and stuff like you know you have -- know every single thing they're saying and what age do they say okay this is it's between me and Bobby in my class.
And I think that that's based on the relationship that you board established with your child as a parent parent and open dialogue isn't that -- they're certainly not on the thirteen.
I'm saying that -- to us while you're under my roof.
But -- And third Pierre -- I settlement moment yeah you can't controlled well otherwise woman by the lets -- control what's out there I can control its under my rule absolutely control without I -- Gonzales talking to my kids -- would you come back and I don't let us thank you.
If you know capital -- -- -- Miriam oh walk the mother of six thanks for joining me we shouldn't think it was a.
