So, this will be long, but my story needs to be told before I can ask my question...My first pregnancy was a good pregnancy, despite heart burn, lower back pain and morning sickness that lasted until the 5th month and came back in the 9th. My blood pressure was good, normal. I didn't have any headaches, excessive swelling, poor vision, etc. My blood platelet count was off, but not so bad that it meant anything different for my labor and delivery. All during labor (induced, 12 hours, 2.5 hours of pushing), my blood pressure was fine. I almost bled out after, due to blood clots. After I gave birth, I was extremely tired and had this terrible headache... so bad I could not lift my head! I only found relief when I was lying flat on my back. The next morning my face was so swollen my husband could barely recognize me. BP was STILL normal!! LO was in the NICU, so I went home without him. I left the hospital still with this terrible headache. Surprisingly, it went away when I got home and was able to sleep in my own bed. I gave birth on a Friday, went home on Sunday at midnight, and came back to the hospital on Tuesday for a "step down" to get my LO home with me. Tuesday night, at the hospital, my head started hurting again. Wednesday morning, 2 am, I told hubby that I HAD to go the ER. My head hurt so badly, I couldn't safely hold my baby! They gave me a cat scan, MRI and lots of morphine. The drugs didn't help. I started feeling a pain in my chest and started coughing. I didn't know at the time, but my lungs were filling with fluid. I don't know how long it took before they got an OB to the ER to help, but it seemed like forever. I lost consciousness, and when I awoke, I was in the ICU and was told it was Pre-eclampsia. I spent another week in the hospital (while my baby went home without me...). I had to be completely de-hydrated to get the fluid out of my lungs and my breast milk supply never came in. I marathon pumped for a month before being told by my LC that it wasn't meant to me. Now, 2.5 years later, my son is healthy, happy, active and very smart.... and we are pregnant (17 weeks)! I have a few forewarning signs of pre-e, and will most likely be put on high bp meds tomorrow when I see my doctor next.
Here's my question(s): Has anyone gone through something similar? If so, have you gone through another pregnancy? I'm afraid that 1. something like this will happen to me again (pp trouble) and 2. I won't be able to breast feed my 2nd baby. Also, since I didn't go through pre-eclampsia during my first pregnancy, but almost died after, I am scared and don't know what to expect. Any words of advice? Anything I need to specifically ask my doctor about? What do I include in my birth plan that might be different from a normal, low risk pregnancy?

The wobbly, uncomfortable and fickle umbrella stroller you probably remember is a thing of the past. Today umbrella strollers are versatile, durable and loaded with extra features that make them comfortable and convenient for both parent and passenger. High-end manufacturers have joined in on the lightweight stroller phenomenon, so there are a variety of options to choose from. Whether you're in search of an inexpensive model under $50 or a more luxurious version that retails for over $500, BabyEarth offers a huge selection so you can easily find the one that best suits your needs.
When it comes to affordable lightweight umbrella strollers that deliver, Kolkraft, Chicco, Combi and Jeep are the frontrunners. These strollers feature aluminum frames which makes them both durable and light, some only weighing 12 pounds. And what's even more incredible is a stroller that only weighs 12 pounds can still accommodate a toddler up to 37 pounds. This is why parents love umbrella strollers - they're the perfect portable solution. Not to mention they are just as user-friendly as their larger full-size stroller companions. Umbrella strollers have an adjustable sun canopy, storage basket, swivel wheels that lock and either a 3-point or 5-point harness. The more affordable options don't always offer a full recline position, but some offer multi-position reclining seats. For quick trips around town, the lightweight umbrella stroller is a great choice.
If you're seeking a 'fully-loaded' umbrella stroller, Maclaren, Quinny, Combi and UPPAbaby are brands to consider. In fact, the popular Bugaboo is making a high-end umbrella stroller called the Bee - perfect for buzzing around town. Maclaren strollers boast the same durability and convenience as the more inexpensive options, but they have added features that make them a bit more comfortable like a padded stroller seat, adjustable leg rest, reflective accents and a viewing window on the back of the canopy. Maclaren strollers are known for their high performance aluminum frame, light weight and five-second, one-hand compact umbrella fold. BabyEarth carries a large selection of Maclaren strollers like the Volo, Triumph, Quest Sport and Quest Mod, as well as double strollers like the Twin Techno and Twin Triumph.
Combi is another popular manufacturer in the lightweight stroller space, offering parents five different styles: Flare, Lightweight Urban, Cosmo DX, Helio and Flex LX. These strollers are easy to fold, lightweight and offer features like front swivel wheels, washable fabrics, 5-point harness system and carrying strap for traveling. Combi also makes two side-by-side double strollers, the Sport 2 Double and Twin Savvy Double.
Another great thing about umbrella strollers is they come in a variety of stylish patterns and colors. For example, the Maclaren Quest Mod comes in four sophisticated color combinations featuring a non-repeating pattern so no two strollers are the same. Grandparents are also big fans of umbrella strollers because they can easily open and close them, and since the fold is compact, they can carry them in the trunk without taking up too much space.

Investment management has evolved from an art to a science in the past three decades. This evolution has placed strict demands on practitioners to master the complex analytical and quantitative methods increasingly used in managing the investment process.
In response to the demands that today's turbulent financial markets place on financial professionals, the University of San Francisco offers a Master of Science degree in Financial Analysis (MSFA) that provides rigorous specialist training in recent advances in quantitative financial analysis and economics.
The MSFA curriculum is structured around the areas of knowledge and skills deemed necessary for the Chartered Financial Analyst (CFA) designation by the CFA Institute. A thesis is not required for this program. Students may choose to take the CFA exams while in the MSFA program but are not required to do so.
The MSFA program at USF provides a coordinated, sequential approach to the tools and knowledge covered by the CFA Body of Knowledge. The MSFA curriculum is focused on bringing together finance theory and finance practice. Instructors in the program are a unique blend of USF professors and working CFA charter holders from local Bay Area firms.
Another unique characteristic of the USF MSFA program is a strong emphasis on ethical professional behavior in the financial industry--a characteristic that is integrated throughout the course of study.
Students graduate from the USF MSFA program with advanced quantitative training in economics and finance. Our graduates have the ability to understand and apply the most current tools used by investment management professionals today.
The Program is offered
in three formats: a 2-year, part-time Professional program, an 18-month program
and a 12-month Accelerated program.
The 18-month program is 35 credits and
requires all of the courses below:

Tax raising mania unabatedMay 15,2013As the 2013 legislative session crawls to its conclusion, a lot of Vermonters are probably wondering why the main business of that session seems to have been finding and extracting ever more millions of tax dollars.
First, lets look at transportation taxes. Unlike most taxes that have a percentage rate, the motor fuel taxes have been levied since 1923 as cents per gallon at the pump. As the Federal Reserve depreciates the value of a penny over the years, the cheaper motor fuel tax pennies cant keep up with the rising costs of bridge and highway maintenance. So the cents-per-gallon rates must periodically be raised.
In 2008 the Legislature bit the bullet and raised the motor fuel taxes from 20 to 25 cents per gallon. (Regrettably, the additional 5 cents was buried in a wholesale tax that motorists cant see.) Since then, high fuel prices have driven down taxable fuel sales, hybrid vehicles are using far less fuel, and deferred highway and bridge maintenance costs are becoming more serious.
So the Legislature is raising transportation revenues by changing the traditional method. The new schedule is considerably more complicated, but the net effect is projected to raise $22 million in 2014.
Could this have been avoided? Phasing down Amtrak subsidies ($6 million) and restoring the $29 million of motor vehicle purchase and use tax revenues diverted away from the Transportation Fund in 2004 to subsidize the Education Fund would eliminate the present need for increasing motor fuel taxes.
Next, lets look at the Education Fund. This Legislature has already increased the base residential school property tax rates from 89 to 94 cents per $100 of fair market value, and the nonresidential rates from $1.38 to $1.44. The actual residential school property tax rates are then increased by the ratio of local spending per adjusted pupil to a state-set amount of $9,151 (for school year 2013-14).
The rationale for these property tax increases is that local school districts are (collectively) voting too much money, and that the recession has depressed the grand list values of taxable property.
Both are true, but the fund would be much stronger had the Legislature not endorsed Gov. Peter Shumlins 2012 snatch of $27.5 million from the Education Fund to pay for more Medicaid. The more serious problem lies in the structure of the school finance laws. School district voters cannot judge the impact of their own spending decisions, because their districts have been financially merged with all other districts under Acts 60/68.
Finally there are the General Fund taxes. Shumlin has repeatedly said, This is not the time to raise broad-based taxes (income, sales, rooms and meals). The compelling reason is the looming challenge of squeezing at least $1.6 billion a year out of Vermont taxpayers to finance Shumlins cherished Green Mountain Care single-payer health plan. Its pretty clear that the governor is resisting broad-based tax increases now, in anticipation of being forced to announce in 2016 that now is the time to raise them.
The bottom line here is that given the present liberal ascendance in Montpelier, taxpayers will continually be asked to pay more in taxes to finance ever more ambitious government. As of two weeks ago, new taxes in play included taxes on satellite television, break-open tickets, liquor and tobacco, candy, soft drinks, dietary supplements, bottled water, and vending machine food and beverages.
Last Tuesday the governor and legislative leaders agreed on a deal to scrap all of these proposed new General Fund taxes and balance the budget with $10 million in spending cuts. The agreement featured an amusing announcement by Commissioner of Finance and Management Jim Reardon that the administration would hire consultants to identify the required savings. Lets hope they dont hire the expensive consultants that launched Challenges for Change, which almost totally failed.
Last Friday the no tax deal collapsed when the legislative leaders insisted on jiggering the income tax schedules to squeeze more from the rich. Shumlin enthusiastically seized the opportunity to be the top bracket taxpayers friend, saying, The last thing we should be doing is changing the income tax system on the fly and at the last minute when we dont need the money. In a peroration he may soon come to regret, he concluded We should not raise income taxes, we will not raise income taxes, we must not raise income taxes.
Despite occasional strategic backsliding like this, the tax raisers are always with us. Normal revenue levels produced by normal tax rates are simply not enough to pay for the Grand Liberal Vision of the majority in Montpelier. They cant bear to see their vision fade away for want of money, and they always, urgently, want more.

Yeah, Bye.
The act of hanging, choking, drowning, or any other form of asphyxiation as a means of suicide usually denotes a deep since of shame and or self loathing. It is one of the most painful ways to die and drawn out ways to die. People who commit suicide in this way are usually trying to punish themselves for something they can not forgive themselves for. I am truly sad for his family and for him. For those of you saying fuck him imagine if this was your friend or relative whose going through some shit and you ignored their phone call today cause that could of been their reach out before this. That is what all his friends and relatives are doing right now.
Tragedy for everyone involved.

I think that some of the responses on this thread are a very sad indication of the state of society's understanding of mental health issues and the piss poor availability of treatment for those in need or at risk. To shrug this off as a selfish act only serves to perpetuate the bias associated with mental illness. It is no surprise that so many individuals have a difficult time coming forward with their issues when in general they are met with the same ignorance and misunderstanding that drives those comments.
I would urge anyone in this forum to reserve the judgement for the experts who know a thing or two about this, keep your negative comments to yourself and instead take this opportunity to reflect and ask yourself if there is anyone in your life who could benefit by a little bit of compassion, understanding and openness.
My thoughts are with his family and friends.

Suicide is a cowardly act. Suicide is a really shitty act if you are married. Suicide is the ultimate selfish act if you have a child. Why have people completely taken accountability out of society? Even on the one act where you won't be around to hear the criticism, people don't want to blame the person who did the act. If anything, I think justifying suicide in any way would only (possibly) lead to more suicides, if the person still cares at all what others think of them.

Thoughts and prayers to the zigano family. Hopefully they can overcome.
some of you guys are fucking disgusting. wow...
My condolences go out to his family. The following is pending on if he did commit suicide.
There's a chance the guy actually tried to get help through counseling, medication, etc. and it could have been ineffective for him. Of all the areas of health care, I still think that mental health treatment is sadly lagging behind most, if not all, other fields.
There are very few things so frightening than being in a headspace where you constantly have to stop yourself from grabbing the rope, pulling the trigger or just letting go of everything and ending it. It does hurt everyone else around you, but in that moment there is only the impending feeling of release from all the suffering you either put yourself through or have been put through by circumstances beyond your control.
I tried to kill myself on two separate occasions. One by hanging and one by the run of the mill knife across the wrist. Both times I failed. I was a fifteen year old who had few friends (who were going through similar issues where one even overdosed), no significant other, and seemingly no hope of getting better. I still remember the car ride to the hospital with my mother crying asking what she did wrong, and I remember the subsequent ambulance ride to a mental facility for kids at 2 am.
I was sent to a psychiatrist who did nothing but prescribe pills and rarely listened to things I said in the sessions. I tried Zoloft, Paxil and Lexipro (I don't know if that's the correct spelling) and the last antidepressant only worked for a while. It's taken a lot of time and conversations with good friends, but I'm doing better. I never feel like I'm truly out of the woods when it comes to the darkness but I'm near the fringes.
I still have moments of self-hatred and doubt, but I look at where I am now versus where I was and I'm doing much better. A wife, three kids, a house I own, a job I work where I make enough to feed and clothe everyone. I'd be missing out on so damn much if I'd have succeeded in any attempt I made.
Again, IF he did commit suicide, I wish he could have found the right help.

I cant get mine to work either. I tried everything I know. Mags (of all kinds) just fall out during fire. I just went back to Surefire mags. No biggie.

Are they locking in and then falling out in the act of firing? If so you have a bad spring. Yours would make it the 7th spring in this batch. I sent this batch to coating with springs attached and some of them have seemed to get weaker. I don't know if the coating process has some adverse effect on them or if the quality control just wasn't good from the factory. Pm me your addy again and I'll send you some more uncoated and see if that doesn't fix it. Sorry for the inconvenience.
Yes to your question...I have tried USGI/Pmagts etc. All the same. After about the 2-3 round the mag just comes loose. Spring makes sense. Not strong enough to hold it while firing.
My adapter is in the mail as of this morning. Postal 1st Class, insured.
When in danger or in doubt, run in circles, scream and shout... R.A. Heinlein
That fixed it Mike. Runs like a champ now. Thanks for the springs.
Mine does the same thing, locks in nice and tight, and on the first round downrange, drops free. I havent gotten out much lately,, and last time i did, i just held onto the mag while firing. What kind of spring should i get to replace it? anything in particular? thanks!
I need some more adapters
You have some left Mike?
No apology needed man, this thing is awesome! Just a screwey spring in this run :-D
