Scaling the ranks of England's hockey leagues has been about more than winning for Richmond's hockey elite, it has been about forming lifetime friendships.
In the wake of Richmond HC's men's first team being named men's team of the year at the England hockey awards, the scooping of three league titles in as many seasons and a return to the National
League structure, men's captain Andrew Denye explained why hockey in the borough is so special.
He said: "It is just about giving it all for your team, being committed and just helping your friends out because that is what really brings everyone together.
"I have got friends now that I will have for life because of what I have done with them out on the pitch."
Denye, a Richmond HC member for 12 years, said the club's recent successes were a source of great pride for all members across the juniors, men's, women's and veteran sides.
He said: "It is fantastic for a club when you have an elite section and a men's and women's section too.
"But [it is especially] great to have one of the club's elite teams back on the national stage again as we were last there in 1996 when the likes of Sean Curley played for us and it has been a long
"It is great for the club to have a team that everyone can look up to."
The proud captain put the success of the men's team being named club of the year down to sheer dedication.
Denye said: "I think there has been a focus in the past four years, say, and a drive to get a group of people together that actually are quite determined to make it happen [and then] getting in a
coach that came in and just seemed to gel with the team."
Richmond HC is one of the country's oldest hockey outfits, established in 1874, and has moved from Richmond's Old Deer Park to the Quintin Hogg Memorial Ground near Chiswick Bridge over the
The award-winning club boasts more than 450 junior members and about 350 to 400 adult members playing across a variety of different teams, and is looking at running 'back to hockey' sessions later
this year to
encourage more women back into the sport.
And, in true club style, despite recent successes, club members appear determined not to rest on their laurels as they eye a second promotion.
Deyne said: "When you have momentum I think you have to look to maximise the potential of the team.
"Currently we are looking to do that and if that means we can push up to the premier league then we will certainly look to do that."

Residents attend Spring Valley City Council meeting to discuss County Road 1 project, garbage proposals
By Sonya Meyerhofer
Wednesday, October 03, 2012 4:49 AM
There were multiple visitors signed up Monday, Sept. 24, to address the Spring Valley City Council about the status of the County Road 1, or Main Street, project or discuss the selection of the garbage service provider.
First, Spring Valley resident and Fillmore County Commissioner Chuck Amunrud addressed the council about the status of the reconstruction of County Road 1 from Section Avenue to Minnesota Highway 16, a half-mile stretch.
Amunrud said he was at the meeting to "clear up matters" and to update the council on Fillmore County's decision on the project. The county had discussed abandoning that portion of the street but Amunrud said that in asking residents they "would not like to lose an entrance to the city."
He said the county would still like to do the project if the city of Spring Valley would take ownership of the street after 10 years. The county would pay to pave the road with concrete and the city would be responsible for the rest of the reconstruction.
"We can do an agreement up front and turn it over after the 10th year," said Amunrud. "It would be your city street then and the county can make County Road 1 go up Highway 63 (Section)." This route, he noted, made more sense.
He added it's a decision the council needs to make and that the project could be done within the next year to two years.
"I hope we can come to an agreement that is a win for you, win for the county, and a win for the residents who want to keep the road open," he said.
The council did not make a decision but there was talk of City Administrator Deb Zimmer meeting with the Fillmore County attorney to discuss it.
Next residents shared their experiences with Waste Management as their garbage service provider.
Resident Tom Meyerhoff said he doesn't think Waste Management "qualifies as a good provider." He said he had tried to get a dumpster and was told he couldn't get one. He also found it difficult when it came to customer service over the phone because the person was in another state and not too familiar with this area's services.
Resident Lucille Daggett said she has "nothing but good to say about Waste Management." She said that when flooding impacted the community in 2000 and 2004 that the business offered free dumpsters to those affected.
She said the city council should "hold off on voting until the public gets more knowledge on the prices" discussed in the three proposals from Waste Management, Sunshine Sanitation and Wm. Hanson Waste Removal and Recycling. Daggett, after reviewing the proposals she received from Zimmer, noted she "comes out ahead" in cost with Waste Management.
The council decided to table the issue to give residents a chance to review the rates and voice their opinions. The city of Spring Valley has published the rates for residents to compare in this issue of the Spring Valley Tribune.
Waste Management representative Darrell Hoekstra addressed the council. He said for the commercial service, the rates they have been charging are "all over the board," but the company has had a drop in its fuel surcharge rate and it is eliminating its environmental fee.
He said Waste Management will still offer bags and offer a $2 discount on a cart for senior citizens.
Hoekstra said with Sunshine Sanitation basing its price on the waste weight for businesses is not that accurate because the scales on the truck can't be certified. "It's an estimation at best," he noted.
"We appreciate Spring Valley's business and hope to continue," he concluded.
Tory Keefe of Sunshine Sanitation addressed the council, simply stating, "We are hoping we can do the best we can for you."
Below is a link to a chart comparing the rates of the two companies.
Other business
The council approved narrow-banding city siren controllers to meet FCC requirements and be compatible with the 800 MHz system. According to Emergency Management Services director John Dols this requires installing one kit purchased earlier for the north site and purchasing two new controllers for the middle and south sirens. The total cost for the supplies needed, including the controllers, is $7,173.59. This is a budgeted item, Zimmer said.
The council also approved Dols upgrading and updating city radios to be compatible with the 800 MHz system. This also is a budgeted item. The total $18,167.03. Dols said most of the radio equipment was purchased when the former street department supervisor was first employed. "For safety reasons, it needs to be done," he said. Mayor Jim Struzyk said that they "knew this was coming."
Council members also approved the purchase of a narrow-bandable mobile radio for the ambulance service in the amount of $2,330.50. Director Jim Cooper added that by Jan. 1, 2013 "everyone has to have it."
The council also approved, pending the approval of the Rural Fire Board, the purchase of a new pager for the fire department in the amount of $5,937.98. The Rural Fire Association is responsible for half of the cost.
Street Department supervisor Chad Hindt said the department has started work on constructing the last leg of the bike trail to connect Spring Valley's entire trail system. Hindt said it's the section of trail that will connect Farmer Street to County Road 8, continue to go around the plant, and then to Willow Park.
Park and Rec director John Feske said the concrete has been ripped up at the pool to fix the leak but that he hasn't done anything with it because he is waiting on funding for the project.

I believe that,
The Inconvenient Messenger
I was diagnosed with stage three breast cancer in 2014. I turned away from conventional medical treatment and chose instead to treat myself successfully with natural, holistic, traditional medicine.
I believe that,
we can let cancer fill us with fear,
we can fight against cancer with all that we have,
or we can embrace cancer for
the inconvenient messenger that it is.
The choice is ours.
I invite you to join me on my cancer journey as I share my experiences and the powerful messages I have received along the way about life and living.All posts from Nina Andersen

LEIPSIC — The Leipsic Elementary teachers gave an "un-frog-getable"
send off to two of their retiring colleagues on Wednesday, May 28.
Rodriguez, an elementary teacher's aide, and Judy Newell, a fourth
grade teacher, were "toad-ally" surprised on the students' last day of
school when their former principal, Fred Bryan, arrived at the school
just as the last of the students were leaving. Not only was Bryan
driving a convertible, he was decked out in a frog costume. Newell
taught 30 years at Leipsic; 20 in a special education classroom and the
last 10 in fourth grade.
"The first year I taught fourth grade, I
used a frog theme in my classroom," Newell explained. The concept caught
on, and Newell's students began gifting her with frogs of all kinds.
"I had a collection of frogs you wouldn't believe," she described, estimating that she had 50 frogs.
She held drawings during the last days of school in which students were able to take home one of the frogs.
"I was known as 'The Frog Teacher,'" she laughed.
spent 35 years at Leipsic. "I will miss the kids. I really enjoyed
working with them," she declared. "And the staff was great."
Newell echoed the sentiment.
"The kids. I'll miss the kids. And of course, my friends," she commented.
women climbed into the back of the convertible as their fellow
educators presented them with crowns. Current Leipsic Elementary
Principal Darren Henry "hopped" into the passenger's seat. The quartet
then drove around the Village, to celebrate Newell's and Rodriguez's
"leap" into a new chapter of their lives.

FIONA Price will again be leading the county challenge in the Virgin London Marathon on Sunday.
Price is one of a large party of athletes from Avon Valley Runners making the trip to the capital and has nothing but happy thoughts about the London event.
Last year the 46-year-old from Westbury slashed more than 20 minutes from her personal best as she finished seventh veteran over 45 in a time of 3:07.48.
Price has carried that form into 2014 with personal bests in the Bath Half Marathon (86:58), the Wiltshire 10 and the Gloucester 20 (2:22.35) while last week she finished an excellent fifth over the half marathon in the World Masters Championships in Budapest.
"The World Masters Championships was the first time I have raced abroad and it was an amazing experience," said Price.
"I was over the moon with the result as I was not expecting it all.
"I definitely feel I am in better shape than last year so obviously I am looking to run quicker than last year. How fast we will have to wait and see on the day."
Only former British international Holly Rush was quicker than Price last year in Wiltshire but is not entered for London.
Avon Valley's London Marathon runners: Pete Slade (running for Breakthrough Breast Cancer), Chris Brown, Juliet Coulson, Fiona Price, Diane Hier, Jackie Rockcliffe, Kate Coney, Louise Fearon, Kev Bush (Forever Friends), John Painter, Steve Cade (Rainbow Children's Trust), Jilly Evans (Cystic Fibrosis), Tim Lowrie (Chernobyl Children in need), Robin Mark Schols, Frank Lamerton, Richard Newman, Kate Hails (Oasis UK ).
THE Howorth brothers from Hilperton got their track campaigns off to a flying start in the Basingstoke Young Athletes meeting.
Older brother John, aged 13, dipped under two minutes 10secs over 800m for the first time as he clocked a time of 2:09.87 to smash his 2013 best of 2:11.72.
Not to be outdone, 11-year-old brother Rory covered the two-lap event in 2:14.95 which carved off almost five minutes from his best set last year.
Rory also won the 75m hurdles and, to complete a good day for the Howorths, John's twin Robert was fourth in the javelin.
Melksham Oak School student Will Stockley wasted no time in carrying over the success he enjoyed in cross country onto the track.
Competing in the Yeovil Open meeting the 15-year-old Team Bath runner from Semington clocked a personal best of 2mins 05.8secs in the U17 men's 800m, shaving 1.58secs off his previous best.
Westbury hammer ace Ellie-J Webb also showed terrific form, the 16-year-old Matravers School student recording a personal best of 52.62m in the U17 women's event, the third best throw in the country this year to date.
Westbury sprinter William Kennedy, 16, was in action at the Yate Sprints & Hurdles Festival where the sprinters enjoyed huge following winds.
The Matravers School student's time of 10.98secs for the 100m equalled his personal best – but the wind was just over the limit at 2.4w.

Motorists were left frustrated after being told "it's not your right to park outside your home" at a meeting last night.
People in Selwood Drive, Barnet, have received warnings for parking with two wheels on the kerb to allow others to pass down the narrow street.
During last night's meeting, at Barnet House, in Whetstone, Serena Wilson asked chairman Councillor Lisa Rutter for clarity on the situation.
Although householders parking outside their homes began receiving similar 'valueless fines' three years ago, they were later cancelled.
Ms Wilson said: "We would like to know why the exemption was revoked with no discussion, and by who.
"The council should designate or clarify an alternative area for residents to park safely and legally."
The council told the residents there were designated marked bays to allow them to park safely and that parking with two wheels up on the kerb is illegal.
Officers said the council had received complaints with safety concerns for pedestrians due to the footways being obstructed.
The council said the warning tickets would continue to be issued but its design team would look into finding a more formal scheme.
Paul Bragg, infrastructure and parking manager, said: "It's not your right to park outside your home."
After the meeting, Ms Wilson said: "We're frustrated, it's not clear where we can park and there's no steady stream of information."
A Barnet Borough Council spokesman said: "After receiving complaints from residents who were unable to use the footpath in Selwood Drive, the council is now in the process of installing new marked bays.
"This will allow residents to park at appropriate locations and make sure that access to the footpath is not restricted."

Recently Caroline Issa, the fashion director of indie fashion mag Tank, current J Crew model, and much-snapped-outside-of-shows good dresser, was in town to talk about her next project: a capsule line of shoes and two bags with LK Bennett that will hit stores in February. She was excited. The collection — it's a classic pointy pump with some brightly coloured Indonesian embroidery and pom-poms on the heel inspired by a bag she bought at a market while on a film festival junket – is cute, if not revolutionary. But it also begs the question: what qualifies her to design? Twitter followers? Taste? Read more

Heart failure is a very serious illness that can cause
life-threatening complications and significantly limit your life span.
Fortunately, many drugs have been shown to slow the progression of heart
failure, and several drugs have been shown to prolong survival. Each of these
medicines has risks and benefits that you and your doctor will need to weigh
when you are deciding whether you should take the medicine.
Medicines for
heart failure help relieve symptoms by:
medicines may help increase the life span of people who have
heart failure. These include:
The exact mechanism by which these medicines prolong
survival is not entirely clear. Each medicine might have several beneficial
effects for people with heart failure. In terms of prolonging survival, the
most important effects may be the ability of these drugs to prevent both lethal
abnormal heart rhythms and their ability to limit ongoing damage to the
Drug or class of drugs
Tailor the decisions you make with your doctor to meet your own personal goals of treatment for your heart failure. Some
decisions are not always completely right or wrong. What is most important is
that you make informed decisions that are right for you and with which you are
In fact, your goals of treatment may change over
time. Early in the course of your treatment, you may want to do everything
possible to extend your life span, even if it means making your symptoms
temporarily worse. A good example of this is starting therapy with a
beta-blocker, which can make your symptoms worse during the first few weeks or
months but eventually may reduce your symptoms and prolong your survival.
But if you develop end-stage heart failure with very severe
symptoms that prevent you from doing even simple activities, you may prefer
treatments that are most effective at reducing your symptoms, even if they may
have some risk of decreasing your survival.
To help you with decision making, the most important things you can do
are: first, keep yourself well informed about the risks and benefits of the
treatments that are available to you, and second, work closely with a doctor whose advice and opinions you trust.

A FILM maker from Bucks is using his experience of depression and anxiety to create what he calls a 'Post Apocalyptic drama/thriller'.
Around a year ago Luke Mordue was at his lowest ebb and considered committing suicide before a snap decision to go and seek help turned his life around.
The 23-year-old is now using his experience to create the character at the centre of his film Sola, which is currently in pre-production.
It has an apocalyptic feel as protagonist Eden picks her way through the abandoned streets of London, having been left as the last person on earth.
But the central theme from the film is about fighting to stay alive when there's nothing left to live for - a metaphor for how mental illness and depression feels to people suffering from the condition.
Luke, now based in London after growing up in Aylesbury, said however: "At no point do I try to explain it. People with depression don't want sympathy, they want empathy. I want them to watch the character and see what she's going through.
"It's to empathise that feeling of loneliness - you feel by yourself when you go through depression. That, and the apocalypse theme, went hand in hand.
"Mental illness is a subject getting more and more talked about as time goes by, but it's still very much a taboo subject, or misunderstood.
"It's something that, growing up, I never fully understood and people around me didn't, and still don't. I wanted to tell a story that would help in some way."
He added: "I go through good days and absolutely nothing beats it, and there are days where I can't get out of bed because I can't face the day. I feel like I've just been given the worst news in the world and I regret the day before it's even happened."
That manifested itself last year with Luke seriously contemplating ending his life, before a last minute revelation.
He said: "I never really got help and last spring I got very down, hit rock bottom and nearly took my own life. I had to think about every breath I took - I couldn't breathe normally. I remember being frightened I felt this way.
"I had a sudden moment where I decided to get out the house and see my friends. I made that snap decision, got on the train and went and got help a few days later and started to get my life back on track."
But such is the nature of mental illness, Luke added: "Last week I felt on top of the world - I don't know how I'll feel next week."
Sola is the first professional production being created by Mordue Pictures, the company set up by Luke in 2011 after a lifelong interest in film making.
He said: "I grew up acting. I started writing as a child then as I got older I found myself getting more and more interested in directing."
Although Sola is set predominantly in London, Luke is hoping some of the scenes will be shot in and around his out stomping ground in the Aylesbury vale.
He said: "It's a beautiful area that a lot of people in London haven't heard of. I wanted to show England as a beautiful place, so what better place than Bucks?"

Researchers tag great white shark off Jacksonville
Published: Monday, March 4, 2013 at 9:09 a.m.
Last Modified: Monday, March 4, 2013 at 9:09 a.m.
JACKSONVILLE, Fla. — Researchers say they have tagged and released a great white shark off the coast of Jacksonville.
Scientists from the group Ocearch said told The Florida Times-Union that they caught the one-ton female Sunday afternoon near the Mayport Naval Station.
Researchers took blood and tissue samples from the shark, which they named "Lydia." They also installed four tracking devices meant to log the shark's travels through satellites and undersea acoustic monitoring.
The blood and tissue samples will be used for genetic analysis that can help compare shark populations in the western and eastern Atlantic and off the African coast.

I had to put this quote up. It rings true with both the public realm and in private industry, and it is this kind of resistance towards supporting the efforts out in the field that just makes you shake your head in disbelief.
These folks put their lives on the line defending the embassies and consulates throughout the world. The main office tasked with support, should be bending over backwards to provide that support to those security efforts and leadership out in the field–and not fighting them. If that type of relationship is not in place, then that is when accidents or attacks seem to happen–as per the law's of Murphy…. –Matt
"I said, 'Jim, you know what makes it most frustrating about this assignment? It's not the hardships. It's not the gunfire. It's not the threats. It's dealing and fighting against the people, programs, and personnel who are supposed to be supporting me," Nordstrom said.
He also told the State Department officer, "'For me, the Taliban is on the inside of the building."
-Eric Nordstrom, the one-time regional security officer, told the House Oversight Committee that he had a disheartening conversation with the regional director of the agency's Bureau of Near Eastern Affairs when he requested additional manpower for the facility. (source)

If you are new to these "Let's Get Real" talks, you might want to check out part 1 {My weight lost journey} and part 2 {I thought I was going to die} to bring you up to speed. In a nutshell, I was crazy and announced my dirty laundry here in the public eye and almost had a nervous breakdown about it. Ha ha. Ok, not really. But, I am getting personal on you here at All Things Thrifty and I don't do that very often due to my complete and utter lack of personal confidence in my body. So, after bearing my soul in part 1 and getting an overwhelming rush of support from YOU, I cannot deny the fact that it was the right choice to share.
I have been working out 6 days a week for almost three weeks now. When I say "work out" that phrase seems to be way too nice for what Terica the Scarica {our group trainer} has in store for us each day. Ha ha. I'm telling ya, I've never worked out so hard in my life. On Saturday we did 24 minutes of interval training that included "burpies" and "screamers" and those words seem to better describe what it was like. I also lifted weights and tried to do a pull up {emphasis on TRIED}. Yesterday I crawled around the track on my hands and feet in push up position and crab walked backwards. What the!?!
I'll be honest, last week wasn't great. I stood on the scale and the number went up. I cried. I've actually cried several times during this process. My brother {my personal life coach} says I should stop obsessing about that "number" because it's not about that. So, I've tried not to. I know that I am doing this the "right way".
I went to the Gateway to Wellness and they ran a RMR test that tells me where my "calorie weight loss zone" is, and you were all right. I wasn't eating enough. I was actually in the "dangerous zone."
The work outs are getting easier in some ways. I was able to keep pedaling for an entire spin class the other day. YAY! But, this morning I didn't want to get up. It was a tired day, and I dragged myself out of bed. I'm always glad I went to the gym afterwards though. My ankle is having a hard time {because I had a compound fracture in a car accident ten years ago}. But, I know it will feel better when I weigh less. Plus I have this darn hernia that I got from a terrible cough during my pregnancy with Creed that is ridiculous. I should have gotten it fixed, but money sucks. I have to modify a lot of the exercises because of those two things, but I'm doing ok. I'm telling ya, I could use a NUMBER of things as my excuse to NOT do this. But, I am doing it. In fact, it is REALLY fun. My teammates are freakin' awesome. I love working out with people that I just. plain. love. It makes it easier {fo sho}.
So, I have some dirty laundry that follows me around. PLUS I have a lot more dirty laundry {literally} because I sweat my ACE off every morning. Yesterday my clean laundry pile was as tall as me {don't judge}. WOAH. HA HA!! So, this post has a double meaning. BAHAHAH.
I just wanted to give you all a little update and MAINLY tell you THANK YOU for all the support, the e-mails, the comments, the facebook messages…EVERYTHING. I'm quite proud of myself for doing this, I'm not going to lie. I have to just keep trudging along and remember that slowly and surely this is going to work. My pants that I haven't done up since before Thanksgiving are not staying up anymore without a belt. YAHOOOOO!
Love you all and thanks again for the supportive messages. You ROCK.

Acerca del creador
Born in Rochester, NY in 1972. Studied graphic design, art, and criminal justice. I have been writing emotional content since the age of 8. Initially, writing was what helped me to deal with a lot of situations in my life, but eventually I realized that i had the power to convey the emotional experiences of others. I began scribing when I was about 18, and every emotional reaction inspired me to continue helping others vent, celebrate, and appreciate through verse.

Orthodontics and dentofacial orthopedics, as the specialty is called, is the branch of dentistry that specializes in the diagnosis, prevention and treatment of dental and facial irregularities. The technical term for these problems is "malocclusion," which means "bad bite." The practice of orthodontics requires professional skill in the design, application and control of corrective appliances (braces) to bring teeth, lips and jaws into proper alignment and achieve facial balance.
In conjunction with the Center for Sleep Medicine, we are helping some patients who have obstructive sleep apnea and snoring. After an evaluation, the orthodontist can fabricate and insert an intra-oral device that protrudes the jaw and tongue forward to create increased airway space, ultimately reducing the disturbed sleep and snoring.
What is an orthodontist?
An Orthodontist is a highly trained specialist who has not only graduated as a dental surgeon but has returned to University for post-graduate training on a full-time basis. Post-graduate training lasts a minimum of 24 consecutive months and often will last in excess of 36 – 48 months for those dedicated to extensive research projects. Your orthodontist will work with your dentist to provide you with the best treatment plan to suit your needs.
Why choose an orthodontist?
Orthodontists are the most highly trained specialists in the field of orthodontics. They are trained in a wide range of techniques and limit their practice exclusively to orthodontics and dentofacial orthopedics. They are therefore in the best position to provide optimal care to treat orthodontic problems.
At what age should my child first see an Orthodontist?
The American Association of Orthodontists recommends that all children have an orthodontic screening no later than age 7.
Why screen by age 7?
The posterior occlusion (bite) is established when the first 6-year permanent molars erupt. At that time, one can evaluate the antero-posterior and transverse relationships of the occlusion, as well as discover any abnormal shifting of the lower jaw during function. Incisors have begun to erupt and problems can be detected such as crowding, adverse habits, overbites, openbites, and some facial asymmetries. For some, a timely screening will lead to significant treatment benefits; for some, an immediate benefit is a parent's peace of mind.
What are the benefits of early treatment?
For those patients who have clear indications for early intervention, early treatment presents the opportunity to:
Dental health concerns are often the primary consideration for adult treatment. Crooked teeth and bad bites may affect oral health. Orthodontic treatment may help prevent many serious potential problems such as tooth decay, gum disease and eventual tooth loss.
Many adults are seeking braces to improve the appearance of their teeth. The techniques used in the movement of adult teeth are similar to those used in children. Gaps between teeth, crowding, protruding front teeth, and teeth in abnormal positions are problems that may be corrected in the adult by orthodontic treatment.
As people become increasingly health conscious, orthodontists may see a continuing increase in the number of adult orthodontic patients. The use of small metal or clear (ceramic) braces has led to greater acceptance by adults to undergo orthodontic treatment. However, certain conditions cannot be resolved with braces alone, because an adult's facial bones are no longer growing. Sometimes, jaw surgery is required to obtain the ideal result.
The health of teeth, gums and supporting bone, as well as harmonious jaw relationships, are key factors in determining the possibility of improving one's appearance through orthodontic treatment.

Morning sickness or 'all day and all night sickness', involves feeling nauseated and possibly vomiting. It is one of the most common physical complaints of early pregnancy and is due to your body's reaction to the high levels of pregnancy hormones in the body. Other signs and symptoms of early pregnancy include:
Many women find that certain smells, or even pushing the toothbrush too far down the back of your throat, can cause them to be overwhelmed with nausea or vomit.
Morning sickness plagues up to 85% of all pregnant women. Mainly a feature of early pregnancy, morning sickness usually begins around the fourth week of pregnancy and continues until around 12 weeks when it begins to resolve itself.
For an unlucky minority, morning sickness can continue well into the second trimester and in rare circumstances, some pregnant women suffer morning sickness for the entire duration of their pregnancy.
As its name implies, morning sickness often strikes first thing in the morning but it isn't unusual for sufferers to experience bouts of morning sickness at any time of the day or night.
Heartburn is defined as a burning sensation in the middle of your chest; it often occurs after eating. You may also experience an acid or bitter taste in your mouth and increased pain when you bend over or lie down. It may - or may not - be accompanied by nausea.
Heartburn discomfort is another common complaint of pregnancy and feels like a burning sensation behind the breastbone, sometimes accompanied by a sour fluid regurgitating into your mouth.
During the first trimester, nearly 25% of all pregnant women have heartburn, increasing in the third trimester. Later, it may become more severe when your growing baby compresses your digestive tract. Eat small, frequent meals. One sure way to get heartburn is to eat a large meal, then lie down!
Ease mild symptoms with simple lifestyle adjustments:
A small number of women suffer from a severe form of morning sickness called Hyperemesis Gravidarum. If left untreated, this condition can cause life-threatening complications for mum and her unborn baby.
Hyperemesis Gravidarum symptoms include:
Hyperemesis Gravidarum is a serious condition that needs aggressive treatment and care to avoid life-threatening complications. Early intervention and treatment, which very often includes hospitalisation, is vital to keep both mum and baby from becoming seriously unwell.

A NATIONAL budget shopping chain store has been ordered to close – hours before today's planned official opening.
Council officers have said the Poundstretcher shop, on the Nova Scotia Retail Park, in Bolton Road, Blackburn, does not have planning permission and an immediate closure notice was served.
The store, which opened on Tuesday in the old Comet building, was still trading yesterday, a company spokesperson said.
It was unclear whether the store would be open today.
Andrew Lightfoot, deputy chief executive at Blackburn with Darwen Council, said: "We have taken immediate enforcement action because the store does not have the correct planning permission to operate.
"We have been in contact with them to advise them and, despite not having permission, they have gone ahead and opened. If they had applied for perm-ission, it is extremely unlikely that we would have supported them in this location. This appears to be a deliberate tactic to avoid the planning process. It goes against our retail policies."
Blackburn with Darwen's Mayor, Coun Salim Mulla, has can-celled his plans to attend the official opening.
Poundstretcher was founded in 1981 and sells homewares 'for families on a budget who don't want to sacrifice quality, or style'.
But the store does not have planning permission for food, clothing and shoes, personal care products, or china, fancy goods and giftware, which the council said were spotted on sale during a visit to the premises.
The council said it had 'invested heavily' in regeneration of Blackburn town centre, and it is unlikely to grant permission retrospectively, leaving 28 jobs at risk.
In a letter to the company, chairman of the Blackburn Bus- iness Improvement District, Mark Smith, wrote: "The council is seriously concerned that your store has opened without any planning application, or even pre-application discussions being submitted and, as such, we have today issued a temporary stop notice requiring you to close the store for 28 days pen- ding resolution of the matter."
A spokesperson for Poundstretcher, which has more than 400 stores across Britain, declined to comment.

ssw825, how are you....
I am in the FA interview process with EJ, (just completed the final face to face, after the door knocking activity), I read some of your concerns on a different forum, as you were going through your decision making process..
I am leaving a 90K job with ExxonMobil (been here for 9 years), for EJ.. I believe in the long run, my earnings potential will be greater as a Financial Advisor...
So far, what has your experience been like?... How are you handling training?..
any advice that you can give me?..

ssw825, how's your job going? Want to see where your office is located? I just interviewed w/ Waddell and Reed and Genworth and waiting for their response.
Waddell, is offering very small salary for 1st year and partial commission. Then 2nd year is 100% commission. I'm sure that's pretty common as FA, but to make the 1st year monthly low salary, quota must be met before you get paid. And first month they wants 300 contactable names? How is that possible?
I'm thinking applying to EJ too. Just want to see how you doing. The part about EJ is the repaying $75k if you quit within 3 years. What if I ended up not producing the min and they fired me. Do I still need to repay the $75k.
Please provide me with any advice.

Any advice for us who are in the hiring process now?
How many of your respective original classes are still with Edward Jones? Any common factors in the success of those who stayed or common factors for those who left Jones, either voluntarily or otherwise?

Did you know?
Pre-Jurassic fossils are plentiful in the Karoo, once an ancient inland sea.
If you are traveling between Johannesburg and Cape Town, you will inevitably encounter the Nama Karoo.
This is one of the country's arid regions, a land of knee-high shrubs enlivened by the odd tree, by pinwheeling windpumps and wandering herds of sheep and springbok.
Starting south of Bloemfontein and straddling 40% of South Africa's landmass, Nama Karoo conservation can seem a little superfluous. At first glance it seems that there's nothing much to conserve at all.
But pull over, get out your car and just listen to this vast, quiet land, and smell that characteristic herby fragrance that rises from the plants. You'll detect traces of wild rosemary, camphor, lavender and sage. They give Karoo mutton its delicate flavour.
Up until recent times, plant conservation in the Nama Karoo was mostly limited to the Karoo National Park outside Beaufort West and the Mountain Zebra National Park outside Cradock.
More recently though, livestock and game farmers are protecting greater sections of their land from overgrazing. The Nama Karoo, after all, is one of the most productive and populated deserts in the world.
A 100 years ago, springbok migrations several million strong would pass through every decade or so. They're gone, but you'll see game farms with herds of springbok almost as often as you'll see sheep, the traditional livestock of the Karoo.
Although it does not have the high amount of endemics that the neighbouring Succulent Karoo (Namaqualand) does, Nama karoo plant biodiversity is startlingly high, with specie numbers well over 2 000. And after good rainfalls in spring, the veld is alive with sweeps of colour.

I vote for the 4 layer approach: Cooper, Platoon Leader, Squad Leader, Cannon Fodder.
I'll mostly be playing Cannon Fodder but I have invested in a spawn beacon if I'm designated squad leader for some absurd reason.
I'm an advocate for the Platoon Leader to only give general squad instructions: go take that and leave the rest to the squad.
I'm not so sure that being proactive on defense is that fun an idea though as there is a fair chance of a squad waiting in vain for a while at a desolate outpost in the middle of nowhere.

NFTE President & CEO
140 Cities, 50 Countries, 1 award. I have just arrived along with NFTE Alum Zoe Damacela in Monte Carlo. We're guests of Ernst & Young for their World Entrepreneur of the Year Award.
Entrepreneurs inspire, lead, change and challenge. I am lucky enough to get to spend the next three days with the top entrepreneurs from 50 countries around the globe, chosen through E&Y's EOY program. I can hardly believe the list. The founder of Angry Birds is representing Finland, and Reid Hoffman, the founder of LinkedIn, is representing the US.
The list is amazing, and they are all here to compete for the top prize. Zoe and I are showcasing the work that NFTE does with hundreds of thousands of young people globally to get them started down the path of thinking like an entrepreneur. Tonight, I'll have dinner with the judges chosen to make this difficult decision:
- Ruben Vardanian (Russia)
- Haryanto Adikoesoemo (Indonesia)
- Steve Case (USA)
- Rodrigo Alonso Herrara Aspra
They're all world class entrepreneurs in their own right. And where might this dinner be held? In the King's private wine cellar… where else?
More to come… However, E&Y knows how to throw an event. This is a picture of the helicopter that met me in Nice to deliver us to the door step of our hotel in Monte Carlo. Hard not to feel like Cinderella in this wonderland!

A man who made an unprovoked and violent attack on two men in a nightclub has been found guilty of grievous bodily harm and actual bodily harm.
Ali Mellal, 40, of Parade Mansions, Hendon Way, was sentenced to 12 years in prison for GBH and one year for ABH to be served concurrently for the attack in Hendon, which left one man with life-changing injuries.
On May 11 last year, two 21-year-old men were enjoying a night out with friends at a nightclub in Hendon.
When they left the club at approximately 2am they made their way up Watford Way and stopped to withdraw money from a cashpoint when Mellal stopped to offer them cocaine.
One of the victims declined the offer and swore at Mellal to go away.
But Mellal approached the victims again while they were in a convenience store, and again offered them cocaine. They said no and an argument ensued.
The men then left the store and walked on the opposite side of the road to get away from Mellal but he continued to follow them.
He caught up with the victims at the junction of Crespigny Road and Vivian Avenue and a fight broke out.
Mellal produced a weapon which he started swinging in a frenzied motion at both victims, causing injuries to their heads.
One of the victims was knocked unconscious. He regained consciousness and reached his home where, with the help of friends, he called the London Ambulance Service.
One of the victims sustained minor head injuries, but the second victim was rushed to St Mary's Hospital in west London where he underwent major surgery on his skull and was placed in a drug-induced coma for 48 hours while specialist doctors assessed his injury.
The victim lost the use of his left arm and leg and suffered a minor stroke. Fortunately the victim made a significant recovery following a stay of several weeks in hospital.
Mellal was identified as the suspect after CCTV stills of him were circulated across other London boroughs.
During the trial, Mellal claimed that at the time of the assault he was with another man who Mellal only named as a fellow heroin user named Morad. Mellal tried to persuade the court that it was this unidentified male who assaulted the victim and that Mellal was an innocent bystander to this crime.
Investigating officer Detective Constable Andy Deamer of Barnet Serious Acquisitive Crime Unit said: "I am very pleased to see that Mellal will not be roaming the streets for a long time and I hope that this sentence will reassure Barnet's residents that officers are working hard every day to catch and convict the most serious criminals."

Rumor Roundup
Wednesday, February 13
With Michael Bourn joining the Indians, agent Scott Boras is 2-for-3 when it comes to finding new homes for clients dogged by rejected qualifying offers. The elephant in the room for Boras is Kyle Lohse, whose stock has waned because of the draft-pick cost associated with signing him, and perhaps because teams are unwilling to extend a lucrative commitment to a 34-year-old pitcher coming off of a career year. As a reward for his patience in the face of disillusionment, Lohse gets today's Roundup all to himself.
Nationals could make a play for Lohse
There is no evidence, at this point, that Gonzalez was supplied with—or consumed—a banned substance, which means that we have no reason to believe that a 50-game suspension is forthcoming. However, general manager Mike Rizzo and owner Ted Lerner would much rather be safe than sorry, in light of the latter's advanced age and the Braves' offseason improvements. If the market for Lohse is entirely dry, then waiting for an indication that Gonzalez will miss the first third of the season may be Boras' best bet to obtain at least the $13.3 million guarantee that he advised his client to forgo.
From the Nationals' perspective, relying on the elite, but fragile, rotation is a risky proposition. Strasburg and Zimmermann are Tommy John surgery survivors, and Haren, after years of outstanding durability, was plagued by back woes last year. All of that would be less worrisome if Washington had a capable sixth starter available in the event of an injury, but swingman Zach Duke last made a major-league start on July 10, 2011, and Christian Garcia may not have the durability to handle a move to the rotation. Other early-season options include Yunesky Maya, Ross Ohlendorf, and Tanner Roark, but none of the three is likely to offer anything more than replacement-level performance.
A 50-game suspension for Gonzalez could be the difference between a division title and home-field advantage in the postseason, and the potential to be one-and-done in a wild-card playoff or to miss the playoffs entirely. With their pennant window wide open—if Gonzalez is sidelined or another starter sustains a long-term injury—that is just the sort of risk that might compel Rizzo and Lerner to meet Boras' demands and worry about a potential six-starter logjam in late May.
Since the Nationals already surrendered their first-round pick to sign Soriano, Lohse would only cost them a second-rounder, which Kilgore believes could help Rizzo and Lerner to swallow a larger salary. Kilgore also mentioned that the Nationals are keeping tabs on Javier Vazquez's potential return to the majors as an alternative insurance policy, but depending on the timetable of hypothetical events, they could be forced to render a decision on Lohse before Vazquez makes up his mind. For now, all of this is smoke without fire, and there is no way to gauge whether the flames will ever come.
… But Indians almost certainly will not
And that's where the Lohse idea, endorsed by at least a few other general managers, came in. Even with a modest regression from his 2012 output, the former Cardinals right-hander would be vastly more reliable than Francona's incumbent back-end starters. The list of candidates to follow Justin Masterson, Ubaldo Jimenez, and Myers in the rotation consists of Bauer, Carlos Carrasco, Corey Kluber, Daisuke Matsuzaka, and Zach McAllister, so Lohse could actually provide a greater 2013 boost than Bourn. Lohse's contact-heavy approach would also fit well with the Indians' improved team defense, and—with Bourn and Swisher in tow—he would only cost the Tribe its third-round pick.
Unfortunately, there are also plenty of drawbacks, and according to ESPN's Buster Olney, the marriage is not to be. For one thing, adding Lohse would stretch the Indians' already-stretched coffers—which must satisfy a payroll over $73 million for the first time since 2009—perhaps to levels unseen since 2001, when the Indians paid $93.4 million for a Jim Thome-led team that lost to the juggernaut Mariners in the Division Series. For another, losing the third-round pick would leave the Indians with one top-100 selection and with a badly diminished bonus pool, both of which would impede Antonetti's ability to restock a farm system that is low on frontline talent.
The recent speculation tying Lohse to the Nationals and Indians helped to keep the Hot Stove alive, but barring an unforeseen turn of events, it appears that Boras will need to dig deeper. Boras has wriggled out of similar jams before, but given the draft-pick concern, Lohse's age, and the pitchers still available on the trade market, this may be his toughest challenge yet.

The Indians have the #5 overall pick, which is protected. Signing Lohse would cost them their 3rd round pick (Swisher cost a 2nd and Bourn cost a "competitive balance lottery pick" between the 2nd and 3rd). So they would only have one pick in the top 100, but one would hope that they could add a frontline talent. But then again, the Indians don't always do so well at drafting talent.
Feb 13, 2013 06:33 AM
What if the Indians went to Boras and proposed a 1 yr deal (at 13 million or whatever the qualifying offer was, moving some money to buyouts or deferring it to make it work) giving up their 3rd round pick this year with the chance to recoup a 1st round pick in a year. It is a gamble but it is a win now move and the price of the pick is bad but much less of a price now that they already have forfeited two picks.

text: Historically, one of the defining organizations within modern American evangelicalism is the National Association of Evangelicals (NAE) >>. Founded in 1942, the NAE serves as an umbrella organization that attempts to represent evangelical interests and views on a wide-ranging assortment of spiritual, social, cultural, and political issues. Including local congregations from 50 member denominations as well as individual churches from 24 other Protestant denominations, the NAE estimates that it represents a constituency of about 30 million people. Nonetheless, it cannot be said that the NAE in any way serves as an authoritative—or even well-known—factor in the secular or religious lives of the vast majority of evangelicals in the United States. For this reason, although it continues to provide a venue for discussion among evangelical leaders and serves as the closest thing resembling a representative voice for the nation's evangelicals, the NAE's influence has been on the wane since the 1980s. Records for the NAE (covering the period 1941-2000) can be found in the Wheaton College Archives & Special Collections>>. Evangelicals and Politics > ©Larry Eskridge, 1996.

THE parents of a baby who died at four-days-old have been told to remove items from a tree planted in his memory or see them thrown away by council workers.
Mark Roberts and his partner Joanne Gaskarth planted the tree in Great Harwood's Memorial Park after their son, Thomas Gaskarth-Roberts, died in November 2012.
But the couple were left deeply upset after receiving a letter from Hyndburn Council which said the items posed a risk to the health and safety of workmen using lawnmowers and must be removed before the end of the month.
The letter said: "If this is not possible council staff will remove the items and store them for a month before disposing of them."
The council has since apologised for causing any upset. Mr Roberts said he paid for the tree to be planted because he walks his dogs on the memorial park, in Church Lane, twice a day.
The 37-year-old policeman said: "It sounds silly but it's sentimental. It gives solace to me and my family."
Mark said people using the park had hung items and placed three small plastic cars under the tree's plaque after seeing it was a memorial for a baby. He and Joanne laid flowers around it at Christmas.
He said: "We received a letter from Hyndburn Borough Council saying if we don't remove them they will remove and destroy them citing health and safety, because work men have to cut the grass.
"There's a lot of dog muck on that park which is more of a health and safety issue than a few plastic cars - unless they think they would hurt their back bending over.
"It's the tone of the letter that bothered us. There's a veiled threat running right through it. "We will move them, but it's the manner in which the council have gone about it.
"It's senseless bureaucracy. They send these letters out and don't realise what effect they can have on people. "It's upsetting for me and Joanne."
Accrington bereavement counsellor, Margaret Hope, said memorial trees were 'somewhere to be' with a loved one who had passed away and to have the memorials taken away would be 'another loss' for the family to deal with.
She said: "There is an attachment and the tree is a symbol to them. It's somewhere for them to remember him."
Mark said the letter came following 18 months of heartache and stress following Thomas's death. He wasn't breathing when he was born at Royal Preston Hospital on November 26, 2012. He was moved to Burnley General Hospital where he was placed on life support but his distraught parents switched it off on the advice of doctors three days later.
A spokesperson for Hyndburn Council said: "We apologise if the letter has upset any members of the family as this is clearly not our intention.
"When memorial trees are purchased we do offer families the opportunity to have a name plaque installed so that they can remember their loved ones.
"Unfortunately if people leave other items around the trees they can be damaged when we undertake routine maintenance, such as grass cutting and sometimes the items can pose a health and safety risk to staff using the lawnmowers etc.
"When this situation arises we write to the family offering them the opportunity to remove such items, or alternatively for the council to place them into storage for a month until the family picks them up.
"This is exactly what we did in this case and we would be very happy to work with members of the family if they would like to talk to us about which of these they would prefer."
But Mark, of Louie Pollard Crescent, Great Harwood, hit back and said: "The workmen can't get that close to the tree without damaging the plaque or even the strimmer itself. The council has used a sledgehammer to crack a nut."
Mark said three post-mortems had been carried out in an attempt to find the cause of Thomas's death. The couple, who also have a 12-year-old daughter Isabelle and a three-month-old son Max Thomas, said they were awaiting a report this month to see if the care for Thomas and Joanne was negligent.
A spokesperson for Lancashire Teaching Hospitals NHS Foundation Trust said: "Firstly we wish to express our sincere condolences to the parents and family of Thomas Gaskarth-Roberts.
"We always aim to provide the highest standard of care, but we are unable to comment any further at this stage due to legal proceedings."
