Is anyone else finding it hard to collect the fireworks? I have 45 and Im sure I will find it impossible to raise the 205 I need to finish this quest.
From my 68 plot farm I am averaging 1 - 2 fireworks from and entire harvest. Water is limiting my ability to harvest endlessly and most of the fireworks I have recieved have been what I have picked up trawling the news feeds.
My 'ask friends for fireworks' button has been greyed out for about 48 hours. Am I missing something? So many people seem to have finished and have their goat??

TUSCALOOSA, Ala. - The University of Alabama and Georgia State University have mutually agreed to move the date of their 2010 football game to Thursday, Nov. 18.
The contest was changed from its original date of Saturday, Nov. 20. Kickoff time for the game at Bryant-Denny Stadium has not been determined.
"We have a number of scheduling challenges this year in football and this was the best way for us to deal with one of those," Athletics Director Mal Moore said. "We explored all options available to us, with our players' health and safety in mind. This was our best remedy. We deeply appreciate everyone's cooperation, particularly Dr. Witt and Georgia State."

SYDNEY, August 31. AUSTRALIAN Ian Thorpe, acknowledged as the world's greatest male swimmer, is planning to move to Europe — probably to Monaco — as he trains to become the world's fastest sprinter over 100 meters, SwimInfo has learned.
The nineteen year-old sensation already holds the world record for 200, 400 and 800 meters. He ranks second this year in the 100, though his best time is a full second behind WR-holder Pieter van den Hoogenband of The Netherlands. However, Thorpe anchored the Aussie medley relay at the Pan Pacs in 47.2 — a time almost equal to Hoogie's world record.
Next week, Thorpe will decide exactly where to set up shop, but he reportedly is eager to live in Europe and have the opportunity to race more regularly against the world's best swimmers — read, Hoogie. At present, he plans to spend at least three months in Europe, but he is also considering living in the US, at least part of the year.
Thorpe had considered moving to Japan, but he is too popular in that country. He would never have a moment's privacy. Beside, Japan is not noted for its sprinters.
Aussie swimmin great Dawn Fraser supports Thorpe's desire to train overseas: "He has done more than enough for Australian swimming," she said, "and in this day and age of professional sport I can understand exactly why would make a move. Swimmers have a limited span in the sport and they have to make the most of their careers.
"I reckon if he wants a change and wants to experience life in another country, we shouldn't stand in his way. And if he feels he can get greater competition there, he should go.
"That's not to say that I want him to go. Far from it. Australian swimming would really miss Ian. We would suffer from not having him train with other swimmers.
His talent helps bring the best out in all those swimmers around him."
Last week, SwimInfo broke the news that Thorpe was planning on parting company with Doug Frost, his coach of many years. Frost, however, commented: "It's
all just speculation. I am going on holiday for two weeks and there may be something to say after that."
Aussie Coach Jailed for Sex with Teenager
BIRMINGHAM, England, August 30. A former Australian Olympic swimming coach, more recently coaching in England, was sentenced to 15 months in prison yesterday for having sexual intercourse with one of his 15-year-old swimmers, according to Channel 7 News in Australia and sources in England.
Matthew Pedrazzini, 35, used his position as chief swimming coach for Birmingham City Council to "groom" the teenager for his own "sexual gratification," the television station reported.
Pedrazzini coached Australian Olympic gold medalists as well as the Malaysian National team at the 1989 Asian Games.
Pedrazzini took the girl, described as a talented swimmer, to his apartment on August 19, 2000 and had sex with her. He repeated the act the next three days.
The girl reported the incidents to another coach, but he dismissed her complaint, telling her to "put it behind her."
In his defense, Pedrazzini claimed he had been abused as a young boy by Catholic priests. His lawyer said her client "is deeply ashamed of what has happened and the way he behaved."

It also smell very bad when you step outside the car. I just had the car at the dealer on friday. They could not duplicate the issue. The car does not smell all the time. I had it out all day today and I did not smell gas until I was on my way home. It was about a 35-40 min ride on the highway. When I got off and stopped at the light the car filled with the smell of gas. What could be causing this if the dealer check the fuel system and could not find anything?

FOX 47 - Top Stories
MADISON, Wis. - The Wisconsin Badgers' trip to the Final Four is generating additional revenue for some retailers.
Sales of Wisconsin apparel are brisk this week as the Badgers prepare to take on the University of Kentucky in Arlington, Texas Saturday night.
It has been especially busy at the UW Bookstore on State Street.
Store officials said they've bought three times the amount of Final Four gear than they did back in 2000, and they anticipate that this merchandise is going to be the year's best seller.
"You could tell after the game it was electric. Everyone was so excited. They want to support their team. Everyone feels good. They want to wear what the team wears," UW Bookstore Collegiate Buyer Angie Maniaci said.
The bookstore is now carrying the "Net-Worthy" shirt that Badgers wore right after they won the Regional Finals on Saturday.
At Campus Street Sportswear in Madison, owner Mike Dunbar says sales are "probably tenfold compared to a regular week."
Sports bars around the state will likely see extra business for the game Saturday. Pooley's Sports Bar owner Geoff Pooley predicts Saturday will be one of his biggest nights of the year. The Madison bar and event center has 38 televisions, including three 65-inch TVs.
The State Journal reported typical Saturday business at Topper's Pizza in Madison usually generates $4,000 to $5,000. Last Saturday when the Badgers advanced, the restaurant did $7,000 in business.

text: I've seen a couple pairs of the plastic/molded fenders that the bike shops are selling these days where the mounts have broken out of the fender (the tabs like on the front fork that attach to the piece between the stem tube and the fork legs on top of the tire). The breaks were all after a lot of miles over the course of a year, but still has me leary of getting something like that since they dont hold up well. Are there any quality fenders that are mileage tested by those here?

Day One of Big Ten Media Days is over and from all accounts Brett Bielema was one of the more sought after interviews. He had a couple of great quotes, including this gem about missing Terelle Pryor -
"There wasn't any question about who won that football game," Bielema said. "The only bad part about Terrelle leaving is he kind of claimed the week after that it was a fluke. That they'd beat us 9 out of 10 times.
"To me, we really wanted to play that game against him. Unfortunately we won't."
And this one about cheaters in the NCAA -
"If I had a dream world, I would say hammer the guys that don't do things right. To me in my profession, the only thing I get very frustrated about is when I know things go on that aren't right, mainly in recruiting. That's the biggest thing that comes across my desk. People are willingly and knowingly abusing rules and breaking things. To me, when you are consciously aware of abusing a rule, there's no excuse for that."
For those that want to read the full transcript, Jeff Potrykus post the entire interview on JSOnline.com. He also has a Day 1 video recap here.
If that isn't enough to wet your Media Day whistle BigTenNetwork.com has a full recap of all interviews on their website. Here is a direct link to the Bielema interview from Big Ten Network.
UWBadgers.com has a chat recap with the Butrym, Henry and Toon following their interviews at Media Days.
Moving slightly away from Media Day, Tom Mulhern at Madison.com has a break down of the tight end position. The job to replace Lance Kendricks will be a bit of a committee approach with Jacob Pedersen and Manasseh Garner getting significant early reps.

It is legend that the flying marlin originated withe Ernest Hemingway on one of his drunken excursions in Key West. This is when a male is stand up 69ing a girl while his friend waits in the closet with a camera. The friend emerges and snaps a picture as the man stand up 69in inserts his fingers in her vagina and smiles for the camera as if showing off a tropy marlin.
Looking through his vacation photos he came across the "flying marlin," with the old whore from Key West.

Readers respond to the Comix Issue
Huge fan of Mr. Zach's. Keep up the good work. So awesome to see you published online on citypages.com!
Comment by Bridget
from Lake Elmo
Once again, City Pages ignores the same artist in year three of its "official comix issue."
I guess they felt guilty not having a female artist represented so they found someone who "looks like a 12-year-old"?
Instead of just contacting Rachael Ratchet Johnson of Barista Girl!
Even though Ratchet has inked Barista Girl, they seem to forget she's a resident of St. Paul and one hell of an artist, too! When will City Pages get her to participate? Stupid Minnesota Nice City Pages!
Comment by zenobitegirrl
from Minneapolis
Holy crap, you're insane. There was an open call for artists. No one is going to seek you out.
Comment by Eddie
from Minneapolis
Wow, I am so glad to see such articulated drawings being published in newspapers these days. It's really wonderful that an open call for submissions brought such crude and pathetic cartoons into the public eye, because people might have really thought there were actual artists living in the Twin Cities. You know, mature artists with original ideas.
Comment by Geoff T.
from St. Paul
...said the man afraid to sign his full name.
Comment by Norm DaPlume
from Minneapolis
Open calls have always been posted on the Cartoonist Conspiracy site. If there is another Comix issue, the open call will be posted on the Cartoonist Conspiracy site.
That's all there is to it.
Comment by Ryan Dow
from St. Louis Park
Several other sites posted info as well. And one of this year's comics is even about the open call!
Plenty of opportunities are out there for people who can be bothered to pay attention.

Drummed outta town
O.M.G.!!!!!!! The indie hipsters and City Pages have come up with a new unwritten rule ("Twin Cities' busiest and most talented drummers share life lessons," 8/19/09)! No drum risers—or "Ego-Planks"—will do. I guess someone should tell the drummer from the Hold Steady about this, or Pitchfork will accuse him of "selling out."

Bullies with badges
I just saw on CNN the video showing a police beating in Minneapolis back in February ("Rodney King Redux," 8/19/09). CNN also showed the man who was beaten, following the attack by the police and after serving four days in jail. It is so indicative of all the police videos of late where they chase suspects, creating dangerous situations for the public, force victims out of their vehicles, and then beat and Taser them. I am not a black person, but do believe this was partially motivated by race, even though the person beaten was black and said it wasn't race-motivated. I believe he said that because he still lives in town and is terrified of a repeat performance by the police, or worse, should he publicly admit it was race-motivated. I am 75 years of age and did not come to this opinion as a result of this latest video. I have seen what the police can do to citizens since the '60s. I just want to say that as a result of all I've seen, I would never call the police if I had my home broken into, or any other criminal event. I would either take care of myself or suffer the consequences. I feel calling the police would be a worse consequence. I realize that there are good policemen and -women, but in my humble opinion, they are in the minority, and I have no interest in playing the long odds that I would get a good policeman should the need arrive.

If you enjoy nudity ...
Patrick Strait's commentary of his first visit to a nudist family campground was amusing ("Nude World Order," 7/22/09). "Butt" if you want to experience a more revealing story of this nature, I suggest the book Naked by the highly acclaimed author David Sedaris. In part of the book, he recollects his two weeks at a nudist family campground in Florida, or somewhere southeast (daughter purloined the book). The tale is hilarious and poignant. Goodbye and thanks for all the flesh.

Former IDF Lt-Col Hassan Ka'bia will be first Muslim-Bedouin appointed head of Israeli consulate in Arab country. Israeli Foreign Service to instate aaffirmative action in cadets' program, as 30% off all participants will now be non-Jewish
Itamar Eichner
Published: 01.17.08, 10:42 / Israel News
Itamar Eichner
A first in the Israeli Foreign Service: Hassan Ka'bia, a Muslim-Bedouin, was named consul general of the Israeli consulate
in Alexandria, Egypt, Yedioth Ahronoth reported Thursday.
Ka'bia, a former Lieutenant Colonel in the IDF, began his service in the Foreign Ministry in the Middle East Division and was later stationed in Cairo.
The Israeli consul general has been stationed in Egypt's Cairo
for the past several years, not in Alexandria, for security reasons. Ka'bia, the Foreign Ministry told Ynet, insists on relocating back to Alexandria.
Deputy Foreign Minister MK Majalli Whbee (Kadima) prompted a revolution of sorts in the Israeli Foreign Service, as 30% of the participants in the Foreign Ministry's prestigious cadets' program are now members of the various minorities in Israel – Arabs, Druze, Bedouin and Circassian.
The Foreign Ministry launches its cadets' program every two or three years. Each six-month program has approximately 3,000 applicants, but only 20 to 30 are accepted. The program is followed by an additional two-year, on-the-job training.
According to MK Whbee, the new policy will ensure at least 8 cadets in each program will be non-Jewish: "This is a revolutionary step in integrating minorities in the State's most prestigious positions. We no longer settle for token participation and have instated Affirmative action."
Twelve minority members are currently a part of the Israeli foreign service, most of them Druze.

Auf Wiedersehen, Spain: Learning German to Escape the Crisis
Amid record unemployment, young people in Spain are desperately looking for a way out. One village believes it has found the answer: German courses for residents, to prepare them for a life in Europe's largest economy. But their teacher is trying to warn them that not everything is perfect in the land of beer and sausages.
The same word has been on the whiteboard for a couple of minutes now, as if taunting them that they'll never master this language. Antonio, Manuel, Francisco, Ana Belén, Mari Carmen, the other Francisco and shy Alicia, all of them stare at the front of the classroom, at that word. Their lips move silently.
At the beginning of the lesson, she proposed a game. No grammar today, she said. Instead, they'd do something fun to celebrate the last day of class -- a game of hangman, guessing German words they'd learned in the last three months.
The word on the board, printed in capital letters, reads "L E _ E R J A C K E." Just one letter is missing to make it "Lederjacke," leather jacket.
The teacher calls on a man in a green T-shirt. "Antonio?"
Antonio, a man with tired-looking eyes, sits all the way to the left side of the classroom. He thinks for a moment then suggests: "Leierjacke?"
"Leierjacke?" the teacher asks, rather aghast. It's a nonsense word, but taken literally, it would mean "lyre jacket."
That sounds German, the rest of the class agrees.
"No, no, no, not 'Leierjacke,'" the teacher declares. "The missing letter is 'D,' for 'Lederjacke.'" She draws one last line on the board, the hangman's right arm. The hangman is dead, the game is over and the class falls silent.
Not an Easy Language
German isn't an easy language, with its long strings of consonants and hardly a vowel to break them up. It isn't a logical language, either. Earlier in the class, there was a question of how to say "tio," or uncle, in German. That was an easy one. They all knew the word was "Onkel."
The next question was about the feminine form: "How do you say 'tia'?"
"Onkelin," one of the students, suggested, automatically adding a common German feminine ending to the word for uncle. The actual word for aunt, though, is completely different -- "Tante."
The students sit in a cool, tiled hall on the edge of Espera in the province of Cádiz in southern Spain. Espera is a picturesque, tidy mountain village about an hour from Seville, with 4,000 residents and a view of the Sierra de Cádiz mountains. There are whitewashed houses and a couple of bars where the TV is always on. The classroom is further down in the village, on the grounds of a recently opened sports complex with two basketball courts, several tennis courts and a new soccer stadium. The complex was completed before the crisis hit.
Espera made the evening news in Spain a few months ago when it became the first village to offer free German lessons to its unemployed. The idea was that people could learn German and then leave, go to Germany. The lessons were a way to help them escape.
The Profession of the Future
More than 200 people came to the first session. The communal hall, near the town hall, was overflowing. Fully half of Espera's residents are out of work, with the unemployment rate among young people at 80 percent. Before the crisis, not five years ago, more than 30 companies operated here, most of them producing concrete for the construction industry. A few of those businesses remain, but with hardly any permanent employees.
The village's name, "Espera," means "wait." But waiting is something few people in Espera, or in Spain, are willing to do anymore.
It seems teaching German may be the profession of the future in Spain.

Consumer Protection Law
Consumer Protection Law Questions? Ask a Lawyer Now.
As of now, I'm unaware if there were any signs actually inside the casino stating that I had to be 21+, the only "regulation" the casino had was a guard at each entrance that would check ID's. My ID was checked and I was let past the guard and into the casino.
I'm going to say that yes, it is on an Indian Reservation as of the year 2009, the casino was opened in the year 2011. This link is what makes me believe it is an Indian Reservation.
The value of chips that were confiscated from me was $515. $400 that was my own money, and $115 that WAS winnings.
No, I wasn't given a receipt for the gaming chips when they were confiscated
And no, the police wasn't called and I wasn't cited or arrested
No, I was not given a trespass warning or anything related to subject of prosecution. I was told I could get my money back when I turned the age of 21. I got off the phone with them today to request a receipt or document of some sort to verify that they did indeed confiscate my money, they told me that money was no longer mine and was considered "house money"

This system, created in the Socio-Digital Systems group, examines the issue of family archiving and presents a system designed to enable families to capture, manage, create and store new kinds of digital memorabilia. The system, using Microsoft Surface as its hub, shows how families can upload photos and videos quickly and easily, and scan in physical objects, such as children's artwork or a child's first pair of shoes.
The system enables families to view these media in many flexible ways and to create new, compelling kinds of digital objects, such as multimedia scrapbooks and even a digital piñata. We will further show how this system would fit into a larger ecosystem of devices in the home and link to new kinds of media displays.

Relief From Itching
Home treatment can often relieve discomfort and itching.
- Keep the itchy area cool and moist. Apply washcloths soaked in ice water. But remember that repeated wetting and drying will actually dry your skin.
- Keep cool and stay out of the sun. Heat increases itching.
- Avoid taking a hot shower or bath. Keep the water as cool as you can tolerate.
- Add a handful of oatmeal (ground to a powder) to your bath. Or you can try an oatmeal bath product, such as Aveeno.
- Try a nonprescription 1% hydrocortisone cream for small itchy areas.
- Use the cream very sparingly on the face or genitals.
- If itching is severe, your doctor may prescribe a stronger cream.
- Use a nonprescription antihistamine medicine, such as chlorpheniramine (Chlor-Trimeton) or diphenhydramine (Benadryl).
- Avoid dry skin, which will worsen itching caused by a rash. Apply a moisturizer or calamine lotion to the skin while it is damp. Dry skin may make itching worse. For more information, see the topic Dry Skin and Itching.
- Avoid scratching as much as possible. Scratching leads to more scratching. Cut nails short or wear cotton gloves at night to prevent scratching.
- Wear cotton or silk clothing. Avoid wearing wool and acrylic fabrics next to your skin.
- Use as little soap as possible. Use gentle soaps, such as Aveeno, Cetaphil, or Dove. Avoid deodorant soaps when you have a rash.
- Try washing your clothes with a mild detergent such as Cheer Free & Gentle or Ecover. Rinse twice to remove all traces of the cleaning product. Avoid strong detergents when you have a rash.
- Take several breaks during the day to do a relaxation exercise, particularly before going to bed if stress appears to cause your itching or make it worse.
- Sit or lie down, and try to clear your mind of distracting thoughts. Concentrate on relaxing every muscle in your body, starting with your toes and going up to your head.
- For more information, see the topic Stress Management.

A vacuum flask (thermos flask) is designed to keep liquids hot by minimizing heat loss in four possible ways, namely conduction, convection, radiation and evaporation.
- The plastic cap helps to prevent evaporation and convection.
- The vacuum above the liquid is a poor conductor of heat, thus conduction through the vacuum is reduced.
- The inner silvered surfaces reflects radiation from the hot fluids back into the flask.
- The outer silvered surfaces reflects radiation from the external surroundings away from the flask.
- The foam plastic support helps to reduce heat loss by conduction(plastic is a poor conductor) through the thin walls of the flask.
A Greenhouse i used in cold climates to help plants grow better by trapping heat. Infrared radiation from the sun passes through the glass roof of the greenhouse. This warms up the plants in the greenhouse. As they get warmer, the plants start to emit infrared radiation.
The infrared radiation emitted is unable to pass through the glass roof. Therefore the infrared radiation gets trapped and over time, the amount of infrared radiation builds up. This will cause the temperature of the greenhouse to increase.

Many years ago when I was ~15 I rode road bikes and pushed myself pretty hard. I developed knee problems and was told by sports doctors that I should be using a shorter gear and turning ~100RPM cadence. Those knee problems eventually forced me off the bike. Now 20 years later I've been slowly getting back into it over the last couple years - not really a whole hearted comeback since free time is nearly nonexistent with a young family.
With the riding I've done one knee feels perfect the other is maybe 90%. I can feel something is not exactly right but I definitely wouldn't say it's painful. The effects don't last, as in my knee doesn't hurt after the ride or the next day, just the lingering feeling that things maybe aren't 100%. I've been keeping my cadence around 95RPM but I almost feel that in itself is putting some stress on my knee. The last while with the bike on the trainer I've tried slowing down to about 75RPM and I don't feel any more stress on my knee compared to 95RPM, maybe even a little less. But the 75RPM makes for a much more enjoyable workout. I feel like I can put some power down rather than spinning like crazy like running full speed down a steep hill if that makes any sense.
So I guess the question is: is 75RPM considered too slow of a cadence? or should I be sticking with the higher cadence given my possible or pending knee problems?

Christmas in July
Different explanations exist as to why people celebrate Christmas in July. Some say it is to have the traditional Christmas feast of a roast and all the accompaniments in more appropriate weather (as opposed to a hot Aussie summer) and others think it is all a marketing campaign for the retail industry that can suffer from slow sales at this time of year.

Gingerbread Cookies
I had been invited to a Christmas in July dinner and wanted to take something Christmassy so decided to bake gingerbread cookies.
Nothing Beats Mum's Roast
J and recently had a weekend in Tassie. We try and do this regularly so as to catch up with my parents. Qantas had a sale on, which is always a good excuse to go, and we picked the weekend that coincided with my Dad's birthday. Flying to Tassie from Melbourne is easy, the car trip from home to the airport can take longer than the flight time. We take-off, get to the required cruising altitude and level out for 10 minutes, before starting the descent into Launceston airport, all of which take 45-60 minutes.

June Long Weekend
I love a long weekend. Apart from J playing golf on the Monday, we had nothing planned, so it was perfect for relaxing and pottering around the house. And trying out some new recipes!
My Birthday
After a great weekend in Sydney, it was a bit depressing having to go to work on the Monday, my actual birthday.
I like MasterChef and am not ashamed to admit it. For those of you who don't know, Masterchef is a reality TV cooking competition, and the Australian version is currently about half way through its third season.
Cookery Magic Cooking School – Singapore
J and I really wanted to do a cooking school when we were in Singapore, one because we like cooking and also to learn some local dishes. It is also a good way to meet locals and, in this case, see how they live.

Mob4Hire releases first look at their Global Wireless Survey
Earlier this week Calgary's Mob4Hire released a first look at the results of their Global Wireless Satisfaction Survey conducted in collaboration with Business Over Broadway in February of this year.
The unprecedented 111 country survey analyzes the impact of mobile apps on operator's churn - # of new customers acquired minus # of existing customers lost - as well as many dimensions of the app ecosystem as it relates to mobile user behavior and satisfaction.
This Mob4Hire research results demonstrate the importance of mobile apps to today's sophisticated mobile phone users with 75% of respondents reporting that mobile apps are important when choosing their new operator.
While Mob4Hire's research indicates that the dimensions of wireless coverage and service are still the MOST important factor when choosing their new operator, the importance of mobile apps are a close second and will no doubt raise the bar for operators.
Kudos to Mob4Hire for assembling this data - it demonstrates a great use of their community of more than 40,000 people in 146 countries on 364 network operators.
Mob4Hire has made the research available free of charge on this 8-page report on Slideshare.

BeingGirl Points - Major Bragging Rights
Period Protection
« Back to Articles
Added August 01, 2013
From grass mats to tampons.
You're really lucky you live in the 21st century!
No, not because you can listen to concerts from across the world in your bedroom thanks to the Internet. But because you don't have to sit on a grass mat when you get your period!
Up until about 70 years ago, girls who were "on it" had a lot of weird methods for protection. From cave women to 1920s flappers, women really had to be creative. They made pads from stuff like sponges (yes, from the ocean) and grass. Ancient Egyptians made tampons from softened papyrus leaves, and the ancient Greeks in the 5th century BC used lint wrapped around wood as a tampon—ouch! Other global girls from the past used:
"On the Rag"
In the 1800s, most American teens and women owned a "rag bag." These were used to stash pieces of cotton and other cloth that were used as pads, and then soaked, washed, and used again! (So when a woman said she was "on the rag"—she wasn't kidding!)
In the later 1800s, the first disposable maxi pads were created—Yippee! But because of snooty advertising standards at that time, nobody knew about them and they were a big flop. Then, during World War I, army nurses started making disposable pads from gauze, cheesecloth, and surgical cotton.
Finally, in the 1920s, companies started making pads and advertising them in women's magazines. Women would safety-pin them to their underwear—scary if that pin popped! Or they'd hold them with a "sanitary belt." This was like a garter belt that went around your waist. There was a strap in the front and in the back, with pins or tabs to hold the pad.
Sanitary Apron
Another choice was the sanitary apron. This was big, bulky, and probably really hot! Here's what that was like:
Think of that the next time you think a maxi pad with wings is bulky!
The First Tampon
The first commercially produced tampons were invented in 1936 by Dr. Earl Cleveland Haas, and marketed under the name Tampax. Social prejudice and bad information kept tampons from being popular until the 1960s and 1970s. People were afraid that they could lose their virginity by using tampons, or that they would just drop out on the street! NOT!
In the 1970s and '80s there were two more really big developments in feminine protection:
So—see how lucky you are? All you have to do is go to the store or go online and get any type of pad or tampon you like. Of course, if you can't find anything you like, you can always go "on the rag."
Learn what slang like on the rag means and get helpful advice from BeingGirl.

The Mayor of Rome said he was well aware of Mehriban Aliyeva`s activity. Gianni Alemanno stressed the importance of developing the Azerbaijan-Italy cultural relations. He said the newly-launched Baku-Rome flight was a goo opportunity for him to familiarize himself with the Azerbaijani capital.
Mehriban Aliyeva thanked the Mayor of Rome for his assistance in erecting a monument to great Azerbaijani poet Nizami Ganjavi in the Italian capital. She hailed the organization of the Days of Azerbaijani culture in Italy, emphasizing the importance of arranging such events in the future.
The Mayor of Rome presented the Azerbaijani first lady with a keepsake.
Speaking to the closing ceremony Azerbaijani ambassador in Rome Vagif Sadigov said the Days of Azerbaijani culture were a success. He expressed confidence the Days would contribute to developing the relations between Azerbaijan and Italy.
The ambassador said Italy was one of the main trade partners of Azerbaijan.
Vagif Sadigov hailed the humanitarian cooperation between the two countries.
The Mayor of Rome said much had been done recently to develop the Azerbaijan-Italy relations.
Gianni Alemanno said the erection of the Nizami Ganjavi monument in Rome would contribute to deepening the two countries` cultural cooperation.
The ceremony featured a gala concert involving the Azerbaijan State Dance Ensemble and Buta chamber choir, which performed Azerbaijani folk songs and compositions.
The Days of Azerbaijani culture in Italy kicked off at the Carignano theatre in Torino on April 16, and then continued in Milan and Venice before closing in capital Rome.

30 in 15: Wild need to find second-line centerby Brian Compton / NHL.com
NHL.com continues its preview of the 2013-14 season, which will include in-depth looks at all 30 teams throughout September.
After making the Stanley Cup Playoffs for the first time since 2008 the Minnesota Wild experienced a quick exit last season, eliminated by the Chicago Blackhawks in five games in the Western Conference Quarterfinals.
With goaltender Niklas Backstrom sustaining a lower-body injury in warm-ups prior to Game 1, the Wild were forced to insert Josh Harding, who had started three games in the regular season. Between the sudden injury and the talent boasted by Chicago, it was too much to overcome.
A similar roster returns to Minnesota this season. Wild general manager Chuck Fletcher kept the bulk of the team intact, other than popular right wing Cal Clutterbuck and a third-round pick being traded to the New York Islanders in June for right wing Nino Niederreiter.
Backstrom bypassed unrestricted free agency to sign a three-year contract in June and rugged forward Matt Cooke left the Pittsburgh Penguins to sign with the Wild once the free-agent market opened. Veteran defenseman Keith Ballard also was signed to provide a physical presence on the blue line.
For the most part, if the Wild are going to improve this season it's going to come from within.
"Every team could always use upgrades, but right now we're really happy with where we're at," Fletcher said. "There will be some good competition in camp and we're excited to see where some of our young players will sort out."
Here are three questions surrounding the Wild as training camp winds down:
1. Who is the No. 2 center? -- It was a valid question during the offseason and it remains up in the air as the Wild prepare for their season opener Oct. 3 against the Los Angeles Kings at Xcel Energy Center.
The competition revolves around two 21-year-olds. Mikael Granlund, the Wild's first-round pick (No. 9) in 2010, is doing his best to avoid being bumped by Charlie Coyle, who spent a large portion of last season skating as a right wing on the top line alongside Zach Parise and Mikko Koivu. But with veteran Jason Pominville primed to take that spot, the versatile Coyle could be asked to center the second line if Granlund isn't ready for a full-time role in the NHL.
"You never know what's going to happen or where they're going to need you to play," Coyle said. "If I keep playing my game, that's why they like me as a player. I've played right wing and center, so I'm pretty comfortable playing both positions."
"Charlie Coyle's a capable centerman," Wild coach Mike Yeo said. "He's played it his whole life. He's got a lot of things that you would want in the center position, but he's also a great winger.
"If Mikael Granlund is capable of filling that position, it would open a lot of things up for us, especially with his playmaking ability, his skill level coming up the middle of the ice, his ability to distribute the puck. I think it would be beneficial for him and for our team."
2. Can Dany Heatley bounce back? -- With the top line set, Heatley is bound to play on the second line, alongside some combination of Granlund, Coyle, Jason Zucker and Niederreiter. Heatley's production has dipped in recent seasons, and a shoulder injury limited him to 11 goals in 36 games last season. Heatley is fully healthy now and aiming to prove he still can be an elite forward in this League.
"Having my time off the last months of the year and having to take care of the shoulder this summer, I was in the gym a lot more," said Heatley, who appears to have lost 15-20 pounds. "I feel pretty fresh coming into this camp."
Harding stood tall in the playoffs despite appearing in five games during the regular season after being diagnosed with multiple sclerosis. This time around, Yeo knows he'll have to turn to his backup more as he attempts to keep Backstrom fresh during the second half of the season, when the playoff race intensifies.
"We can't sit here and drop a blueprint for it right now," Yeo said. "There's been other years where we've put a pretty set plan in place, and I think this is a unique situation with both guys where we have to evaluate it a little bit more closely on a day-in, day-out basis and be prepared to adjust."

NU Football: Osborne is interim head coach
The 70-year-old interim athletic director appointed himself Wednesday as interim head coach.
Make no mistake, Osborne is not about to reappear on the sideline. His new title is only temporary. NU made the move, informing the Big 12 in a letter written by Compliance Director Gary Bargen, so Osborne would be able to recruit away from campus.
Osborne, who won 255 games and three national titles as NU coach from 1973 to 1997, passed the NCAA certification test a series of multiple-choice and true-false questions on his first attempt Wednesday.
Osborne plans to hit the road today and Friday.
NCAA rules stipulate that the head coach is allowed only one in-home visit to a potential recruit. But a provision allows the coach Osborne hires to visit any recruit whom Osborne visited as interim head coach.
In addition, Osborne could remain on staff, technically as an assistant, to visit recruits after the head coach is named.
Presumably, that's coming soon. The fifth day of Nebraska's coaching search produced no names of additional candidates.
Osborne and UNL Chancellor Harvey Perlman interviewed Louisiana State defensive coordinator Bo Pelini on Sunday in Baton Rouge. University of Buffalo coach Turner Gill and Wake Forest coach Jim Grobe reportedly also have met with Nebraska officials.
In a radio interview Wednesday night on the Husker Sports Network, Osborne said the search was "pretty much on track."
He said he expects it to near an end by next week. He also confirmed that he had interviewed multiple candidates.
"I'm not saying that we're done yet, but I think we're really in pretty good shape," Osborne said.
He said all of the candidates understand the game. All have experienced success in coaching, he said, and are "very passionate about football."
None appeared driven by money.
"Now having said that, it does seem the going rate on salaries has really gone through the roof a little bit," Osborne said. "A little bit amazing."
Cincinnati coach Brian Kelly on Wednesday denied any contact with Nebraska. Kelly also said UC Athletic Director Mike Thomas had not been asked permission by NU to speak with him.
That's contrary to a report by rivals.com on Tuesday.
"Just another one of those Internet stories," Kelly told Cincinnati radio station WCKY. "I think a lot of these things are generated by who you think the best candidate is, and those Internet stories start to run and get twisted around."
Pelini continued to prepare LSU's defense for its meeting Saturday with Tennessee in the Southeastern Conference championship game. Gill, meanwhile, also may be a candidate for the vacant coaching job at Washington State.
Gill, the 45-year-old former Nebraska quarterback and assistant coach, was named in an Associated Press story as an option to replace Bill Doba, who resigned Monday.
In other news, defensive coordinator Kevin Cosgrove and cornerbacks coach Phil Elmassian are no longer recruiting for Nebraska, according to Associate A.D. for Communications Randy York. Osborne asked the NU assistants who wished to be considered for positions by the next head coach to help with recruiting after coach Bill Callahan was fired Saturday.
That is crap two in home visits one now by Osborne and then by the new coach. Just another loop hole in the NCAA rules and then they can keep him on to help recruiting. I really think that this is leading to Gill being the new coach.
Kyle S. Flander
If I'm a recruit outside of the state of Nebraska, getting a visit from grandpa Osborne isn't going to do much for me. The Husker mystique is dead and it would seem very cheesy to have him sitting in my living room waxing poetic about the glory days of the power option and Heisman Trophy winner Eric Crotch.
Maybe it 's just me, but I think having anyone in a recruits living room that has a national championship ring on his finger isn't going to hurt, no matter how old he is.

He's still a legend in many corners, even outside Nebraska.
But you're right, and 17/18 year old kid was, what? 7 when he last coached. Most are going - "Who?"
Osborne, who won 255 games and three national titles as NU coach from 1973 to 1997, passed the NCAA certification test — a series of multiple-choice and true-false questions — on his first attempt Wednesday.
wow it only took him one attempt. He must have studied hard. Good to know though.

Well, with questions like
"Spell NCAA", "You are taking this test. True or False"
you can see how you're average Husker could manage...
It's all about Osborne's ego. He is so revered by everyone in Neb and by others for what he has accomplished, but his ego is HUGE. Consider what he has done after his retirement all in the interest of what is best for the people of Neb.
Hand picked his successor - Frank Solich. Only hope he repeats on that success.Gets one of his old assistants the AD job when they hired Pederson.Misses the limelight so runs for Congress in a western Nebraska district that he doesn't live in.Has little to no impact on moving up the ranks of Reb. leadership in Washington, so decides that he would be more important if he were to become Gov. of Neb.Runs in the primary for Gov against a sitting Gov.Gets his ego crushed when he loses by a huge margin. Needs to do something to redeem himself so he....Gets himself to be "crowned" Prince or something of the AKSARBEN knights. If you haven't seen the pictures in the OWH with T.O. in tights you have to check it out!After UNL got humiliated by Okie St during the 10 year reunion of his last NC, he forces the Chancellor to fire Pederson and name him AD. T.O. could come in and save the day!In his presser announcing the he fired Cally, one of the first things he talks about is his 4th season and how they went 10-2.Names himself interim CoachI could go on all day, but I think you get the point. This is all about T.O. The fuskers are too in love with GOD to realize that it is his ego that gave them the Solich/Pederson/Cally mess, and too dumb to realize that his ego is about to do it again to them!

yes people in corn land need to get their head out of the sand
It makes sense that Osborne would be leaning toward hiring Turner Gill then. Osborne was a former coach of his and is now somewhat of a mentor as they talk to each other frequently. This would make it very easy for T.O. to impose his will upon the coach under the guise of "advice." It would also pave the way to force Gill to hire some other NU cronies so that they can "keep it in the family" over here. It's almost comical sometimes living in the middle of this twisted drama.
Tom Osborne.
At least temporarily
Oh boy...this is getting interesting.
Mostly meaningless, but still...amusing.
didn't they fire solich after a 9-2 season? that doesn't seem like much failure to me.
If that's the case, why then would TO spend 2 days out on the recruiting trail. IMO, TO saying that the process is incomplete is nothing more than a smoke screen.

Jessica Alba was the first to wear this Versace for H&M studded top and skirt when she attended the fashion show to celebrate the collaboration two weeks ago in New York City.
The actress sported a high ponytail, red lips which matched her nail polish, black tights and black pumps.
Fan Bingbing wore the same look this week at the Chen Man Photography Exhibition in Shanghai, China.
Like Jessica, she also added tights and black pumps, but Fan had more fun with her look, sporting fun frames, a Louis Vuitton hat and a Jeremy Scott for Adidas leather jacket.
Fan wins easily for me, as Jess looked a tad frumpy in comparison.
If you still can't make up your mind, click on the image above to see more pictures of these ladies in their Versace for H&M look.

Other than urinalysis, what are other common urine tests available?
Other commonly performed urine tests are drug tests, pregnancy tests, specific chemicals and proteins in the body, which are not a part of routine urinalysis.
Urine drug screen is done routinely to check for drugs or their byproducts in the urine. There are many purposes for these tests including athletic screening, emergency rooms settings, drug detoxification programs, school and employment screening. This test detects the presence of commonly used drugs such as:
- cocaine,
- amphetamines,
- metamphetamines,
- marijuana,
- phencyclidine,
- barbiturates,
- benzodiazepines, and
- opiates.

Urine pregnancy test is very common and it measures a hormone in the urine associated with pregnancy (beta-HCG or beta- human chorionic gonadotropin). This test can be done in medical settings, but numerous kits are available for home use.
Other urine tests can also be used in evaluation of many medical conditions. Examples include:
- urine culture (in determining the bacterial cause of urine infection)
- urine creatinine (in assessing kidney disease)
- urine total protein and albumin (in assessing kidney disease and protein loss from kidney)
- urine cytology (in evaluating for possible bladder or other urinary tumors)
- urine calcium (in evaluating elevated blood calcium levels)
- 24 hour urine collection for proteins (in diagnosing causes of kidney impairment, diabetic related kidney disease, lupus related kidney disease)
- 24 hour urine collection for protein electrophoresis (for measuring different components of proteins in urine in evaluating multiple myeloma, kidney inflammation with increased protein loss)
- 24 hour urine collection of catecholamine metabolites (in evaluating adrenal gland disease, difficult to treat high blood pressure)
