It's 2013.. Not 2012.. Best we discuss the Mini 2nd-Gen / iPad 5th-Gen..
Apple airs new iPad ads, Alive and Together
Apple has released new iPad ads showcasing the iPad 4 and iPad mini both. As with previous iPad ads, these focus on apps and the experience of using the iPad. However, the jauntiness has been ratcheted up a notch, and the text with it. Actually, the text has gone rapid-fire.
Together starts off with: spark, go, tether, hello, watch, leap, roam, flick and a bunch of other words before finally settling on wild. Then an app mash up starts, another set of words ending on bright, more apps, more words ending in together, yet more apps, and a last set of words ending in iPad. Everything from built-in apps like FacetTime, to iBooks, to games, to medical apps and more are showcased.
Alive follows the same formula, hitting loud, deep, alive, and iPad, and a wide range of apps, games, and other digital content shown in between, mapping to each word. For example, loud includes loud music, the anatomy of the human ear, visually loud fashion, and drums.
While keeping the theme of iPad ads to date, the pace feels a little bit faster and catchier, more like the iPod ads. It's a fun, interesting for Apple, and given then new, lower starting price point of the iPad mini, maybe the right one.

Apple airs new iPad ads, Alive and Together
Nothing new or exciting. Same old same old. It's time for BB10
Good ads. Unlike that incomprehensible BB Z10 ad, these new ads show you the fun, entertaining, educational, creative, productive, and collaborative things you can do with iPad.
They're missing a few words. There's rip-off, un-interesting, old, dull, profit and of course for-rich-white-people-that-dont-give-a-sh**-what-they-spend-their-money-on.
Don't hate because you're apparently poor. The iPad is a great device and excellent productivity tool for anyone. If one can't afford the base model iPad, then maybe one should look for a new job. I'm sure the majority of the over 100 million people that own an iPad are not "rich-white-people".
Looks like a typical ad.

With certain exceptions, the Colorado Open Records Act (CORA) requires disclosure of public documents. Public documents are generally defined as an existing written or electronic document made, maintained or kept by a state agency for use in a government function or purpose. Exceptions are set out in the Colorado Open Records Act, and may also be found in the organic act covering the programs administered by DORA. Records requests should be directed to the record custodian for the Division or office that maintains the records you are seeking.
How do I request records from DORA or any of its Divisions?
May I inspect records in person?
How will I know what the costs of the public records will be?

With certain exceptions, a "public record" subject to disclosure is an existing written or electronic document made, maintained or kept by a state agency for use in a government function or purpose. Exceptions are set out in the Colorado Open Records Act, and may also be found in the organic act covering the programs administered by DORA. For instance, the Real Estate Commission laws allow for closure of complaints of record and results of staff investigations in the discretion of the Commission during the investigatory period and until dismissed or until notice of hearing and charges are served on a licensee.
How do I request records from DORA or any of its Divisions?
In order for accurate tracking and timely response, all requests for records need to be submitted in writing. If you know the Division holding the public records you wish to receive, please submit the request to the Division Custodian for that Division. If you don't know or are unsure which Division holds the records you wish to see, you may send your request to the Department Custodian.
May I inspect records in person?
Yes, in your written Colorado Open Records request, you may request to inspect public records, rather than obtain copies. If the public records are readily available, the date and time for inspection will be set by the Division Custodian. If the records are in use, in storage or otherwise not readily available, you will be advised of that fact as well as when the records will be made available.
How will I know what the costs of the public records will be?
The Colorado Open Records Act allows for public agencies to recoup actual, reasonable costs to retrieve and provide those documents available to the public. If your request is twenty pages or less and takes less than an hour of staff time to prepare, the requested documents are free of charge. If your request is over twenty pages, takes more than an hour to compile, requires that documents be brought in from off-site, or if in order to comply with the request DORA staff would need to modify the content of the documents, costs will be assessed based upon the following schedule: Below is a list of costs associated with various functions to produce a request.
Photo Copying: $0.25 per image (applies to a request with more than 20 pages.)*
DORA Staff Time: $25.00 per hour (applies after the first hour if it takes more than one hour of staff time to fulfill the request)
Retrieval of Documents: $28.00 per box.
*A fee of twenty five cents ($0.25) per standard page and fifty cents ($0.50) per double-sided page will be charged except as otherwise specifically provided by law, as is the case of the Public Utilities Commission which will charge twenty cents ($0.20) per standard page for copies of records pursuant to §40-6-105,
Printing fees may still apply when records are transmitted electronically if it is necessary for the custodian to print documents in order to redact exempt information and/or scan the record to create an electronic file.
Estimation and Payment of Fees: Prior to responding to a CORA request, the Division Custodian or Department Custodian will estimate the costs associated with responding to the request, including estimated legal fees, if any, and provide an estimate of costs to the requestor. Unless the fees are waived, the information will not be copied, retrieved, redacted or manipulated until payment is received.
Is there always a charge for accessing records?
No. DORA does not charge a fee if your request is twenty pages or less and takes less than an hour of staff time to compile. In some cases, depending upon the request, the fees may be reduced or waived. For example, requests for public records in connection with public interest research by a bona fide nonprofit research organization would be eligible for fee waivers or reductions. To request consideration of a waiver or reduction of fees, please contact the respective Division Custodian or the Department Custodian. Fee waivers or reductions will be uniformly applied among persons who are similarly situated.
Why is there a cost to the public to access records?
The Colorado Open Records statute acknowledges that there are real costs associated with the disclosure of public records, such as staff time to assemble, review and evaluate records for exempt information and copy costs. DORA is authorized to recover those actual costs through fees.
What information is exempt from release?
Colorado law recognizes many types of information that may, or must, remain closed to public inspection. Personally identifying information, such as social security number, home phone number or home address, as well as medical or mental health data is exempt from release to the public. As such, basic privacy interests are protected.In addition, CORA closes other categories of public records from inspection, such as proprietary and other confidential information. Also, other Colorado statutes governing the programs administered by DORA require that specific kinds of information be closed to inspection, such as some information in connection with pending disciplinary investigations.
If a record contains some confidential information, is the custodian required to block out or "redact" the confidential portions of the record?
In general, CORA does not require that an agency redact exempt information. Records with mixed information may lawfully be closed to inspection. However, the custodian may review the records and decide if it is appropriate and practical to redact the confidential portion and release otherwise public information.
How long will it take me to get copies of records I request?
Records which are readily available must be released within three business days of the request.If the volume of records requested is overly broad or voluminous, such that it will take more time to assemble, review and evaluate the records, or if the records are stored off site, then an extension allowing up to seven additional business days is allowed. If an extension is necessary, you will be advised as soon as possible prior to the expiration of the initial three day period.A more specific request (for a single record for which you know the date and title) may not take long to retrieve. A general request (all records on a certain topic, or within an extended period of time) will typically take longer to retrieve.
What if my request for access to records is denied?
If the request for records is denied, the notice of denial will state the reasons for closure. The Colorado Open Records Act prescribes certain remedies should you wish to pursue them.

Wind speeds reached nearly 90 mph in Corpus Christi, and the damage was estimated at more than $42 million after Hurricane Allen came to town on Aug. 10, 1980.
The North Beach area of Corpus Christi sustained heavy flooding, up to five feet in some areas, and the ship channel was closed to heavy ships for weeks after tons of sediment clogged the passage. The storm destroyed Bob Hall Pier and the Cole Park Pier.
Some Corpus Christi residents who did not leave the city spent a couple days in Ray High School to avoid the damaging wind and rain. Ray McVey brought his sound system, complete with 8-track tapes, and a deck of cards to pass the time.
Maybe this wasn't the best day to try to fly a kite. But it certainly was no time to be messing around with a parachute, like these people tried to do at Cole Park.
This satellite view shows the massive size of Hurricane Allen churning in the Gulf of Mexico. The eye of the storm passed over Brownsville on Aug. 10, 1980.
The Walgreen's Drug in Bishop was one of the many buildings that did not survive the high winds of Hurricane Allen in August 1980.
This Ford pickup had a hard time getting the rubber to hit the road because Ennis Joslin Road was under water. The storm surge from Hurricane Allen reached 10-12 feet in some areas.
Pelicans seek shelter north of Memorial Coliseum on Shoreline Boulevard as winds and rains from Hurricane Allen pound downtown Corpus Christi.
The wind and waves pushed boats in the marina up against the seawall near Shoreline Boulevard in Corpus Christi.
The southern part of Flour Bluff saw heavy damage, and boats were carried hundreds of yards by Hurricane Allen.
This home in Ingleside was never intended to be a beach-front property, but that's what happened after Hurricane Allen blew into South Texas. The winds and waves tore through this home and uprooted most of the trees.
Red Coburn, owner of Steve's Marineland, contemplates the future of his business on the Laguna Madre.
The destruction from Hurricane Allen was not limited to the coastline. The Pearl Distributing Co. in Alice sustained heavy damage as part of the roof and a wall collapsed.
Anything that was bolted into the ground was moved by Hurricane Allen on Aug. 10, 1980. Boats and campers were thrown around the streets of South Padre Island.
The Coastway store under the intracoastal bridge on the Laguna Madre was an island unto itself after Hurricane Allen arrived.
After Hurricane Allen came into Kingsville, the Kings Drive-In had a lot of work to do before movies appeared on the big screen again.
Melvin and Lawanda Wallace look out from a second-story window of an apartment building at 2619 Surfside as the storm surge surrounds the building on Aug. 10, 1980.
This station wagon had an interesting day at the beach on South Padre Island. The storm surge moved most of the beach farther inland and resulted in millions of dollars in damage.
Bucky Vannoy returned to Flour Bluff to find that his store, the Fisherman's Fish Market, was destroyed by Hurricane Allen. Many residents of Corpus Christi drove to San Antonio, Austin or the Hill Country to avoid the storm.
Lionel Williams (right) spent most of a day digging a ditch with the help of friend Harold Gott in hopes of freeing Williams' stranded boat, the Sacadineros, out of Port Isabel. The boat had been lifted out of the water by Hurricane Allen.

Since Larry Page took over as Google (GOOG) CEO, he has promised more "velocity" in strategic decisions and more focus.
To my eyes, what he's also brought to the forefront is an marked increase in squishiness of "milestone" numbers he throws out to analysts to explain Google growth.
For several years now, Google has been big on sharing the number of daily "activations" for their Android phones, with no specific definition of what that exactly means. They just keep going straight up is the conclusion Google appears to want us to draw.
Page has also been very aggressive about touting the numbers of Google+ members and engagement since the service launched. Last week, he crowed triumphantly that Google+ had hit 90 million users with 60% engaging daily. Again, the problem is that Larry didn't define his terms. If I'm forced to sign up for + as part of registering for Gmail, YouTube or search, should that count as a registration? And if I then do a search or check my Gmail, should I be counted as engaging with +? It's laughable.
Google is also fond of talking about its annualized revenue numbers for its nascent businesses. For example, from recent calls, we learned that:
- From last week: "Display has now reached an annualized run rate of over $5 billion as we engage with multiple advertisers and get tremendous support from our agency partners."
- From last quarter: "We're also seeing a huge positive revenue impact from Mobile, which has grown 2.5x in the last 12 months to a run rate of over $2.5 billion."
- We of course also have received daily or point-in-time updates on Chrome, enterprise customers, and Android activations.
- We even got an update last week that Google is adding one feature update to Google+ per day last week from Page
Google's top brass are very very smart. Nothing gets dropped into their prepared remarks by chance.

text: By B. Gil Horman In the late 19th Century, American gunsmith Henry Deringer invented and became famous for some of the most commercially successful pocket guns of all time. His products did so well that his name, eventually misspelled as "derringer," became synonymous with any pocket-size single- or double-barrel pistol. Perhaps the most famous double-barrel cartridge loading pistol to receive the derringer moniker is the Remington Model 95. Remington's compact two-shot over-under pistol … [Read More...]

When I first saw this ad, I thought it was a right-wing produced anti-Roe v Wade commercial because it is soooo yucky and creepy. For me the guy falls straight into the worst stereotype of the typical smarmy cad who wants to bang without a condom on the first dip. He's slick, faux-seductive, self-entitled, bougie, and a boozer. Flunk. Fail. So when I saw it was produced by the pro-choice Center for Reproductive Rights, I threw up a little in my mouth.
This new pseudo-PSA from Coca-Cola pushes their low calorie options: Look, mini-Coke for portion control! Look, a lower calarie options with lots of fake stuff in it! And look, we voluntarily replaced high-calorie beverages in school vending machines with lower-calorie options just to insure we maintain out revenue stream. It's nice they give money to the Boys & Girls Club, who I support through their local poker tournament at the Hustler Casino; I guess we all have our off-base ways of doing it for the kids.
The Coke ad basically says if you exercise enough, you can drink their glop to your heart's (and waistline's) content. Nice showing the white bread sammiches in the kids lunches too. Wheat bread and fruit would have made a better subliminal.
Your thoughts?

Hey folks, hope you're all well!
Im in dire need of a decent 3ds max Type 11 Enterprise-E shuttle. I -used- to use the one from STAustralia, (didnt we all? ) and after that, the one up at the old DL section of scifi-meshes. But now i came to look for one again to use to properly scale, sort and create an interior for my Enceladus class shuttlebay, i can only find blender and lightwave versions online.
If anyone knows of a site ive not found or has a version they could upload, id be REALLY grateful.
Hopefully i'll finally finish these meshes (the Enceladus and Magellan) so i can finally get them to Erik to put up for download!
Thanks for listening, folks!

Rated 4 out of 5Â by gossamerdreams roomy transition weather layering piece This is a neat jacket, more olive than taupe, more black than charcoal...you can kinda tell all this from the pictures except for that the studio shots dont show any hint of olive . It is not a warm jacket but perfect for those days with slight wind and a little chill in the air its roomy and i am on the fence weather to keep my XS for this reason, a XXS would have been perfect. it has a boxy fit, fit like a roomy jean jacket, big across the shoulders ( you can tell this from the second shot) and a funny buttoning. when its zipped the buttons are separated from the buttonholes so youll fold over a piece of the fabric to be able to button it. Odd. here's measure for the XS Length: 21" Bust 17" Sleeve Length: 25" I am 5'4'', 105 lbs and 32C Its a little steep in price and a little roomy but i am thinking about it...its indeed a very neat jacket, perfect for US NE coastal transition weather:) 10.23.2012
Rated 4 out of 5Â by Catzilla Solid everyday piece. This is a pretty neat jacket with a very casual, somewhat edgy vibe. The material is nice; however, I'm not so sure if it'll keep you warm in the much colder winter days. The fit is rather boxy, but not too big by any means. In fact, sizing up is not a bad idea - the extra room actually gives it more personality in my opinion. Your regular size will work fine too, though. It just depends if you'd rather this be more fitted or loose. Anyway, this jacket was meant to be thrown over whatever you're wearing - it'll go with plenty of things. Honestly, what keeps me from giving it 5 stars is the price. It's a good jacket, yes, but I wouldn't call it amazing because it does not look like something you could only get from FP. For $168 I'd rather go for something that looks a little more unique and makes a stronger statement. 7.3.2013
Rated 5 out of 5Â by dwho11 fabulous i love it the fit is perfect best jacket I've ever got 9.28.2013
Rated 4 out of 5Â by evilin great jacket! I love the style of this jacket - it is a little boxy as other reviewers have stated. What takes it down from 5 stars to 4 stars is that I need to button after zipping which can be annoying. Also, I've had this jacket for about a year now and the sleeves are definitely starting to pill and it looks really rugged now - other than that great purchase! 10.12.2014
Rated 5 out of 5Â by melodieee LOVE IT! This is my first FP purchase and I simply LOVE IT. I've been eyeing this jacket for quite some time and was rather deterred by the pricing initially but I'm so glad I bought it eventually. The twill is so soft and the jacket is a perfect fit! The military color goes with many different wardrobe combination and is very unique for its style. Would consider to buy the Chai Latte design if it comes back in stock! 8.18.2014
Rated 5 out of 5Â by hockeygal24 LOVE LOVE LOVE This is by far one of my favorite pieces from free people. I ordered the green in small. I'm 5'5" 117 with an athletic/muscular build. For me this is perfect for wearing over a thin layer. 7.17.2014
Rated 5 out of 5Â by diasaria PERFECT LITTLE JACKET! I bought this in the merlot color, and it's adorable. I'm 5'9" tall, 145 lbs. and I ordered the Medium. Fits perfectly. If you want to layer a sweater underneath, go with the Large; otherwise, with a T-shirt, it will fit beautifully. 2.23.2014
Rated 5 out of 5Â by ShabbyGypsyCowgirl The Perfect Jacket Love love Love this jacket that you can wear so many different ways..The fit was perfect. True to size in my case. I am a size 38C, 29 inch waist. I still had room for layering underneath. I bought the size large in the red with black sleeves. I am thinking of making the splurge for the green with black sleeves since I have fallen hard for this jacket. The sleeves are soft and the jacket is so comfy. Ladies, your friends will be borrowing this jacket so buyer beware. Would be a great gift for Christmas next year for a friend, sister etc. Certainly keep them from kidnapping yours..I found it not to be heavy..More medium weight. I am 5'2 so I had no problems with the length of the sleeve. You can easily roll them up too. People tend to think due to FP marketig to the young 20 or 30 something gals that older women are too old for FP. Not sure why they think this but this ole lady will always wear FP even when I am in my 80's! So don't let this jacket slip you buy. You will regret it..and don't let your age make you think you can't wear FP..Wrongo! 12.31.2013

The Chicago Wolves needed a spark. They needed more power. More scoring. More energy. They needed Darren Archibald.
Darren Archibald is living the dream.
Fresh from morning practice, he can't wipe the mile-wide grin off his face. Turns out, that smile's a permanent fixture on "Archie."
"I'm an easy-going guy," Archibald said. "I have fun all day. I enjoy everything I'm doing and I'm enjoying this moment. Every little boy's dream is to play hockey and play in the NHL. I couldn't be happier. Right now, I'm one step away."
For the 22-year old left wing from Newmarket, Ontario, getting his big break in the American Hockey League was challenge enough. After a brief stint with the Wolves at the beginning of last season, Archibald was sent to the ECHL's Kalamazoo Wings, returning to the Wolves for only 20 games in February and March. He was back in Wolves camp this summer, but was again assigned to the Wings.
But the positive Archibald wasn't deterred. He knew what was missing.
"I had to get the confidence back in my game," Archibald said. "That's what the K-Wings were about. I'm more confident as a player now. Last year was my first as a pro. Whether it was nerves or just not being confident, that's what landed me back in Kalamazoo."
As injuries mounted for the Wolves and the power play unit struggled to find its footing, Archibald was excelling in the ECHL, posting six goals and eight assists in 18 games. When a roster spot in Chicago opened, head coach Scott Arniel knew who should fill it.
"A big part of Darren going down to Kalamazoo was so he could play every day," Arniel said. "I'm real proud of him. His job was to be the best forward down there and he was the best player on that team. He did everything we asked of him and that's why he got the call up."
Archibald was back in the line-up on Nov. 28 against Rockford. He fit in nicely as a weapon on the power play, creating the kind of traffic in front of the net that led to his first man-advantage goal of the season on Nov. 30 in Milwaukee.
"I knew coming in that contributing on the power play was going to be huge," Archibald said. "I talked to Coach Arniel and he told me to be a bad goalie and just hang out in front of the net and knock in rebounds and force my way in there as much as I can. A few power play goals later and here I am."
Finally having arrived, Archibald gets to bask in the amenities that come with professional success – and get used to the ones that don't.
"I wake up every morning at the beautiful Residence Inn in Rosemont, my palace," he said. "I'm rooming with (goalie) Joe Cannata. I knew him in Kalamazoo so it's been a smooth transition. I keep him in line. I've also been known to step into the kitchen at the hotel. Last year was my first time really being on my own. I always had billets in junior hockey so they prepared meals for me, which was nice. I do just fine though. Stick to the basics – chicken, steak, fish. Lots of veggies. I try to stick to what I know."
But Cannata shouldn't expect to find a home-cooked meal waiting for him after practice any time soon.
"I don't cook for Joe," Archibald said. "He cooked for me though the other week. His girlfriend was in town and they made me something. That was nice."
The real challenge for Archibald comes post-lunch, when he's left to his own devices for much of the day. What's a guy to do after already having worked out, practiced, worked out again and made himself a meal?
"I definitely would rather spend most of my time at the rink," Archibald said. "In the afternoon, there are a lot of mall walks that happen. I watch a lot of movies. I'm a big Xbox guy. I'll play Call of Duty and NHL 2013 all day. That's pretty standard."
Also standard? Looking to fellow players for inspiration. Always one of the bigger guys (he's 6-foot-3), Archibald cites former Philadelphia Flyer Eric Lindros as someone he models his game after ("he'd fight, score goals, do it all") but says Calgary Flames captain Jerome Iginla is his true hockey hero.
"Iginla was my favorite player. He's a leader on and off the ice," he said. "I looked up to him and tried to learn from him and what he was doing. He was obviously well respected around the league. I've never gotten to meet him though. One day I hope."
Archibald knows the power a single day can have. Just two years old when his parents took him to a frozen pond near their home and laced up his first pair of skates, an instant bond to the ice formed.
"As soon as those skates were tied up," Archibald said, "it just felt like such a natural thing. I've loved the game ever since. It's been my whole life."
For him it may have been love at first skate, but the sport hasn't always gone easy on Archie. His journey to the American Hockey League was littered with struggles and disappointments, although his attitude belies any hardships.
"Growing up, there's always people that are going to point at a kid and say 'he's never going to make it' but I just persevered through that and kept working harder and didn't let that affect me too much. I'm just easy-going about it. I go out and do my job. If it's going to happen, if I'm going to make that jump to the NHL, it's going to happen. I just keep working hard."
"Arch is the kind of guy who comes to the rink, has fun, enjoys himself and really enjoys being around his teammates," Arniel said. "But he knows when to get serious and when to put his head down and really work and score the goals we need."
Archibald has cleared enough hurdles in junior and professional hockey to appreciate the value of being an underdog. Cut during his first Ontario Hockey League tryout and forced to play an extra season in Junior A, Archibald eventually fought his way onto the OHL's Barrie Colts roster and, in his second season, lead them to an Eastern Conference Championship.
"That's still my best memory in hockey, when we won 22 games in a row and won that championship," he said. "It was huge. We had a great team that year but we fought hard. It was a great feeling. Unfortunately we lost to the Windsor Spitfires in the Finals, but it really was a great experience and a good run for the boys."
Looking around the league, Archibald sees the same guys he played puck with as a kid finally realizing their own dreams, just as he is. All their successes make Archibald's journey that much sweeter.
"I have come a long way from where I was. And it's been a really fun trip," he said. "I look at all these guys around the league that I grew up playing hockey against and now we're here. It's great to see. We fought to be here. I have a couple good friends playing all over the place and I like to stay in touch with them and always hope they're doing well."
Now, so is he. While Archibald went undrafted by the NHL, it's still where he sees himself eventually. Until that day comes, the laid-back Canuck just wants to keep the party going.
"Playing hockey, it's just fun," he said. "I've been playing since I was a kid and I go out there every night with my second family. It's the best players in the world coming together and it's a true passion for me. You can't be here without passion for the game. It's a whole other life out there on the ice.
My friends will ask me 'Oh, don't you hate living out of a suitcase all year long, you never know where you're going to be' but I love it. You get to see all parts of the world. And it's just so fun.Tweets by @arch2five

Common Period Problems
Changes in Your Period
The menstrual cycle is a truly elegant feedback system. In theory, and most often in practice, it runs like a well-oiled machine with very little intervention. The body produces hormones in a cycle, each one of which causes changes that automatically "flip the switch" to turn itself off and the next hormone in the cycle on. (Get the details in How Ovulation Happens.) Ovulation, of course, is key to getting pregnant, as an explanation of the mechanics of conception makes clear. But ovulation is only part of the continuous cycle.
Changes or abnormalities in your period might be the easiest aspect of your cycle to notice, as actual menstruation is a hard-to-ignore symptom. Irregular menstrual cycles—having cycles that are shorter than 21 days, longer than 35 days, or vary between extremes—are very common. You can actually be "regularly irregular." And most women will have times when their periods get a little wacky due to illness, travel, or stress. Still, variations can be worrying. Other symptoms may be more subtle, but are worth noticing. For example, even if a woman has some periods, it doesn't mean that she is ovulating. The body can still shed the uterine lining without ovulation occurring. Particularly if pregnancy is your goal, you should have your worries evaluated.
Over the years, readers have submitted questions to Babyzone.com, which we asked women's health specialists to answer. The following questions represent the most common period concerns and curiosities. If you have a persistent problem or anxiety, definitely check with your own gynecologist.
I went off the pill about two months ago, and I have not had a menstrual cycle since then. For a couple of days I had a colored discharge. Could this be a menstrual cycle? Is it still possible to conceive if my regular menstrual cycle has not come back?
Yes, it's possible to conceive before a real period, assuming you ovulate. Generally, menstrual bleeding happens only after you ovulate. If you fail to ovulate (it's often delayed after being on the pill), you can have some dysfunctional bleeding, which could look like what you describe. Give it some time. If you're not cycling normally in another month, check with your doctor: Doctors usually give such disorders a good three months to straighten out.
Common Period Problems
My periods have always been very regular, but the last three months they have changed. I have about three days of very light spotting, then the next 24 to 36 hours it is very heavy, with lots of cramping and clots. I have had some clots before, but not like this; they vary from the size of a dime to a quarter. Then it goes back to light spotting for another one to two days. Are clots normal or should I be concerned?
Your periods will change over the course of your premenopausal life. This may be a normal transition at whatever age you are, but any change should be reported to your doctor to rule out polyps, precancerous changes, fibroids, hormonal problems—things like that. It's probably nothing, but let your doctor prove that.
I usually have a 26-day cycle with no abnormal bleeding. But now I've been experiencing spotting on and off for the last 13 days. What causes this? Can I conceive if I'm having such an abnormal cycle? What exactly is breakthrough bleeding and how do you tell it apart from menses?
Breakthrough bleeding (BTB) occurs when there's not enough hormonal support for the lining of your uterus, so it disintegrates and sloughs away. This can happen if you're on a birth control pill that isn't strong enough or during occasional cycles where there's a variation in your regular hormone levels. Be sure to report any irregular bleeding to your doctor.
Irregular or Abnormal Cycles
My normal cycle length is from 27 days to 32 days. The past two months they have decreased seven to nine days each month from the last. How do I detect ovulation if my cycles are never the same, and now are only 19 days apart? Also, why are they happening more frequently?
Addressing this problem starts with determining whether you're ovulating or not. You may not be ovulating at all, but instead experiencing dysfunctional bleeding. A progesterone test in the latter part of your cycle, even a short cycle, can tell whether you ovulated. If you're not ovulating, then you might need hormonal manipulation each cycle to "jump start" a normal cycle. This is one thing that Clomid (an ovulation inducer) does. If you are ovulating, then perhaps the second half of your cycle is lackluster. This is called "inadequate corpus luteal phase," and may need to be supplemented with progesterone, which your body normally makes in the second half of the cycle. With an inadequate corpus luteal phase, it is making too little for a healthy cycle (or pregnancy). (Read more in our article Irregular Menstrual Cycles and Fertility.)
I had two periods last month—one at the beginning and at the end. Does the second one count for the next month?
It is a misconception that the "monthly" menses follow the calendar months. Every woman cycles according to her own body's clock. Women can have cycles that repeat anywhere from every 21 days to every 40 days or so. Also, the menstrual cycle is influenced by many other factors, including stress, exercise, diet, weight, and illness. So even though most women have a period at about the same interval from month to month, every woman is entitled to a fluky one every now and then. For women who have the timing of their periods "all over the map," once major gynecological concerns have been addressed, the irregular cycles can be manipulated into a normal rhythm using birth control pills.

Nadine - Brad
The side-project of Pearl Jam's Stone Gossard, but it's the wonderous vocals of the velvet-voiced Shawn Smith that is the real attraction. Sounds like a cross between Prince & Steve Tyler. Truly amazing voice. When I first heard it I thought "why isn't this man huge?". It's tempting to construct a Mark Eitzel/Ira Kaplan tale of injustice for him, but the wilful obscuritanist in me likes the fact he's a bit of an undiscovered gem.

Designed for the business traveler, the popular five star-rated carry-on travel bag is a must-have for anyone who enjoys the many advantages of traveling light: freedom of movement, less time wasted waiting in lines, no lost luggage, easy access, and overall travel simplification. Peruse over 700 customer reviews right here from hundreds of satisfied Air Boss Carry-on customers to get an honest idea if this is the best travel bag for you.
Red Oxx worked hand-in-hand with famous Internet author and carry-on travel expert, Doug Dyment, guru of OneBag.com fame to develop this all-in-one carry-on bag.
Follow the link to learn Doug Dyment's bundle wrapping technique so you can fit everything you need, and nothing you don't, in your Air Boss airline carry-on bag to become a more organized happier traveller. Thanks to guideance from Onebag.com, here's a fantastic luggage packing diagram, showing you how to easily "bundle wrap" your clothing in the Air Boss.
Designed with three large main compartments, our Air Boss carry-on bag also features two outside zippered pockets; one full-length, one for your airline tickets, an outside sleeve pocket, and tie downs inside the two outer compartments to keep your belongings in position and wrinkle-free until you can unpack and hang them up at your destination.
The center compartment is spacious enough to hold your Toiletries, extra shoes, work-out gear, business briefcase, etc. Volara closed-cell foam padding is sewn into the sides, so you've got a rigid, yet flexible, piece of carry-on luggage that still protects your valuable belongings.
Includes detachable nonslip Claw Shoulder Strap that keeps your bag where you want it - on your shoulder.
Watch the Air Boss Packing Video posted in the Videos tab where Red Oxx Ambassador Kasey Austin shows how to use many of the bag's thoughtful features.
Looking for extra protection for your laptop? A neoprene laptop sleeve is recommended. A "macho" option is to put it in a Metro Briefcase, which will then fit in the center compartment of the Air Boss, adding further protection and giving you a "one bag" travel option...with two bags inside one. Note that this can become a very heavy bag to carry if you decide to try this! Another idea is adding an extra Claw Shoulder Strap from your Metro and then carrying the Air Boss "backpack style" (one strap over each shoulder) can help offset this added load.
Our fans like to define our gear as "built like a tank". While obviously you're not going to be toting around bags that weigh 50 tons and have three inches of armor plate, still the comparison is valid. For a carry-on bag, the Air Boss is built tough. Starting with the most durable, flexible, and practical textile material available -- 1000 weight CORDURA® Brand Nylon, the Air Boss is built using super-strong UV-resistant thread that's stitched into every seam.
Places where two separate pieces of fabric are stitched together are then bound -- that is, we take a long piece of one-inch wide nylon webbing and fold it over the edges of the two pieces and stitch them together, this creates a strong seam, known as a binding, that prevents the pieces from unraveling on the inside of the bag, or gives it a clean, finished look if on the outside of the bag.
In addition, each exposed outside fabric edge, such as on a pocket flap, is also bound using a thicker binding material. Inside edges typically receive a thinner nylon webbing, whereas outside corner edges that are exposed to heavy wear have a thicker nylon binding. All of our binding material is vertically woven to prevent the fraying, peeling or splitting that you may commonly see in competitors carry-on bags that brag of "binding" their edges.
Each stress point, such as where the handles attach to the bag, is double box stitched - which is where we get the "double XX" in our name, Red Oxx; a stitching practice we adapted from our history as parachute riggers.
The reason Red Oxx uses the largest zipper we can afford, the #10 YKK VISLON® zipper, is that they're easily repairable, even in the field; they will hold their place, that is, they "lock"; they are difficult to penetrate, thereby increasing the security of your belongings; they function smoothly in inclement weather, and they can be yanked from a variety of angles without losing teeth or becoming separated.
Red Oxx has occasionally been accused of "overdoing" our hardware. But once you've had a cheap piece of plastic "hardware" break in the middle of a busy intersection, airport or other inconvenient locale dumping your precious belongings all over the ground, having a heavy-duty nickel-plated or stainless steel D ring or attachment swivel that weighs just a tiny bit more, or might make a little noise, is a travel companion's confidence builder and peace-of-mind maker. After all, you want to enjoy your journey as best you can. Why worry about having your Air Boss break down?

Air Boss Trivia:
On the flight deck of an aircraft carrier, the Air Boss is in charge of all the operations of the flight deck. He controls the moving of planes on deck, landing of aircraft, launching aircraft, ordinance handling, and safety of all the personnel occupying the flight deck. The Air Boss oversees from the command tower. Orders are communicated with the flight deck via megaphone. Ex: "Hey brownshirt. Get out of that checked baggage line and on the plane, now!"
Air Boss is a Red Oxx "Staff Pick" favorite.

Lost tales of TolkienApril 16,2014The family of J.R.R. Tolkien has certainly benefited from his writings. First there was The Hobbit, largely a childrens story, which he actually wrote when his children were youngsters, reading it to them chapter by chapter as he was writing it. Then there was the three-volume Lord of the Rings, which went through many printings and became a cult object for a generation of readers.
After his death, his son, Christopher, got together a number of articles and semi-stories that he had left, and also some things he had culled from the Lord of the Rings in order to keep it from becoming too long.
And this year, the family is publishing Tolkiens translation of the Anglo-Saxon epic Beowulf. Of course, he was a professor of Anglo-Saxon at Oxford, but for some reason, after making his own translation around 1926, he never had it published. It will be interesting to see how it compares with some of the later translations that have appeared in recent years.
Tolkien was steeped in the languages and cultural traditions of Europe. He was also steeped in the language and traditions of his own creation Middle Earth, which reflects European traditions and languages.
Lord of the Rings makes mention of some battles that have taken place, but not in any great detail. He had written about them in more detail but decided such details would make the books too long. Christopher Tolkien found the manuscripts and included them in volumes known as Unfinished Tales and The Book of Lost Tales.
One such elaboration was the fight where Isildur lost his life. Having cut the One Ring from Saurons hand, Isildur leaves the southern kingdom (Gondor) in charge of his nephew and travels north with a small entourage. At the Gladden Fields by the Anduin River, his group is assailed by a large group of orcs. Isildurs sons urge him to escape by putting on the ring, which will make him invisible, and swimming across the river. He does so, but the ring slips off his hand, making him visible, and he is shot and killed by the assailants.
Another battle briefly mentioned in Lord of the Rings is the Battle of the Fords of Isen, where Sarumans forces attack the Rohirrim. There is just a mention that the son and heir of King Theoden has been killed in the battle. The Book of Lost Tales goes into great detail about that fight, showing that the son and heir, Theodred, is a very valiant and inspiring leader, willing to sacrifice himself in order to save other lives.
One thing that has always puzzled me in Lord of the Rings is when Frodo is finally at the lip of the volcano where he is supposed to throw the One Ring into the fire. Instead, he declares that he owns the ring, and puts it on, becoming invisible. The creature Gollum, who has been trying to recover the ring throughout the trilogy, attacks Frodo at the edge of the abyss and eventually bites off Frodos ring finger. Then he is described as triumphantly holding up the ring, with the finger visibly still in it, before tipping too far and falling into the fire.
Ive always wondered why, if the finger was invisible when part of Frodos hand, it didnt stay invisible when it was still in the ring Collum was holding up triumphantly. Ive never seen any explanation anywhere in what Tolkien wrote himself, or what his family has compiled from his writings later.

Assistant Professor Sweta Chaturvedi Thota is primarily
interested in exploring consumer behavior with specific research
emphasis on consumers' emotional and psychological
response to pricing, online search and the effects of advertising.
She asks her students to become hyper-observers of marketing in
their own environments, engaging them in questions like: "Who is
the target audience for annoying banner ads and do these banners
hurt or help the host website?"
By creating a curriculum that engages students in the classroom
as well as areas outside of their academic environment - applying
marketing concepts to real-life situations they're likely
to experience - Professor Thota motivates students to approach
marketing in original and inspired ways.
In addition to teaching, Dr. Thota has presented her research at
leading national and international conferences, and her empirical
investigations on "Relative Thinking in Price Comparisons" were
recently published in the Journal of Consumer Psychology
(JCP), one of the top five journals in marketing.
Prior to teaching, Thota worked for ICICI Bank (New Delhi),
Herald Publications (Bombay), and Real Value Marketing Services
(New Delhi).

Dogwood Stable's Palace Malice will have his final breeze moved up a day, and will work Saturday at Churchill Downs in preparation for the 139th Kentucky Derby on May 4, said W. Cothran Campbell, Dogwood Stable president, in a phone interview Friday afternoon.
"It appears that there will be some heavy rain moving into Louisville that will make the track muddy on Sunday," said Campbell.
The bay son of two-time Horse of the Year Curlin will have Hall of Fame jockey Mike Smith in the irons for today's breeze, said Campbell.
"Mike Smith will be flying in from California to ride him," said Campbell. "He was able to get out of his mounts (Friday at Hollywood Park), and is flying to Kentucky this afternoon (Friday)."
This is the first time Smith will be up on the Grade 1 placed stakes horse. Palace Malice is conditioned by 5-time Eclipse Award winner Todd Pletcher. The 3-year-old colt was trained by Legacy Stable's Brad Stauffer at the Aiken Training Track.
