What are the advantages and disadvantages of going on birth control?

I mainly need it to get my period regular and decrease the pain of my cramps.


But what else?What are the advantages and disadvantages of going on birth control?
Well I personally cannot take birth control or use condoms *allergic to latex*


Birth control caused a lot of break through bleeding. Awful clots, weight gain light headedness, break outs and mood swings. So it didnt work out for me.





But a lot of people do okay on it. I mean I guess not having to worry about getting pregnant is a plus. Lighter periods, and clear skin for some people.





It just depends. But whatever you do, avoid the depo shot. I havent spoken to one person who didnt gain large amounts of weight with each shot.What are the advantages and disadvantages of going on birth control?
i heard you get bigger boobs? lol but im not sure its true. well an advantage is it will help with your period and such, just watch out once your off it your period will start again..so be on time witht the pill. umm.. you wont get pregnant! =p
Some give you moods swings for awhile.





Some get rid of the mood swings though.

  • How do we control what part of a sheet Excel opens to?

    We are working with Excel 2000. We have one large sheet that is our calender for everyone at work. It is about as wide as one screen, but it is several screenfulls long (downward). How can we save the file so that it opens to the correct position on the sheet. It doesn't seem to matter if we are adding data in the february area of the sheet and then save it. The sheet can still open positioned around november.How do we control what part of a sheet Excel opens to?
    My experience with Excel is that it opens where it was when last saved.





    There are three subroutines in the ThisWorkbook code where that can be affected.





    BeforeSave can reposition the screen. Normally you would expect users to notice that, but it would not be seen if the file were being saved from BeforeClose. BeforeClose is the second place where unnoticed repositioning can occur.





    If the file is saved during the close process and any team members are unaware of that it greatly increases the possibility that the unintended repositioning is being caused by team members closing the workbook while viewing November.





    The third place is Workbook_Open. This is also a place where you can establish control of where the screen is positioned on open regardless of other unintended actions as indicated by two examples below.





    EXAMPLE 1.





    Requirement: Always open the workbook in the only worksheet with the Cell in Column A and a designated Row in the top left corner of the display.





    1. Create a public macro to set the value of Cell A1 to the number of the currently selected Row. Set the font color of Cell A1 to white so that it will not print and only show its value when selected.





    2. In the Workbook_Open subroutine include two statements at the end of the routine:





    Private Sub Workbook_Open()


    Cells(Cells(1, 1) + 200, 1).Select


    Cells(Application. WorksheetFunction. Max (Cells(1, 1), 1), 1).Select


    End Sub





    When the workbook opens these two statements refer to the value in Cell A1 to select a cell well below the bottom of the desired page view and then select the cell in Column A and the designated row.





    The Max function is used to select row 1 in the case where Cell A1 is blank or negative.





    To handle a potential value, greater than the number of rows in the worksheet, in A1 you could use a Min function in the first statement.





    EXAMPLE 2.





    Another simple possibility if you always want to open at a point some set number of row from the bottom of the work sheet data doesn't need a special macro or any maintenance:





    Private Sub Workbook_Open()


    Sheets(';Sheet1';).Activate


    ActiveSheet.UsedRange.Cells _


    (ActiveSheet.UsedRange. Cells.Count).Select


    Cells(Selection.Row - 30, 1).Select


    End Sub





    Your opening point will move down as you add data to the bottom of the worksheet.





    If you have another scenario you would like me to address, contact me by email or modify your question.





    NOTE: Spaces have been inserted in the code above to preserve readability in the Answers format. They should be automaticaly removed by the VBAProject editor.How do we control what part of a sheet Excel opens to?
    You can do some Hyperlinks to do that


    Create Hyperlinks (Static Hyperlinks) in a new sheet, the the user can select any of them





    OR





    You can create dynamic hyperlink using some functions like HYPERLINK





    So, if you want to go to the first cell that says the month name that is as the month that the file is opened at, use this in a new sheet





    =HYPERLINK( INDIRECT( ';Sheet1!$C$1';%26amp;MATCH( TEXT( MONTH( TODAY()),';mmm';), Sheet1$C:$C,0))-1, ';Goto this month';)





    This assumes:


    1- You have the list on month names (Jan, Feb, etc) in column C in Sheet1


    2- You click on this link ons you open the file





    If you want that automatically, then you need a macro





    Reply me with more details to do the macro for you





    Thanks

    What kind of birth control for breastfeeding moms?

    I am nursing a 5 month old, and will be for at least another 7 months. What kind of birth control is safe to use while I am breastfeeding. I am not interested in condoms, diaphrams, or VCF. Thanks!What kind of birth control for breastfeeding moms?
    Well the best answer to this question is condoms. But since you dont prefer condoms, you should talk to your physician about proper birth control methods. I am a nursing student about to take my boards and I dont believe that I' ve learned of any birth control that a nursing mother should use other than condoms.If I had to take a guess, it would be progesterone only pills.What kind of birth control for breastfeeding moms?
    Don't count on breastfeeding alone to prevent pregnancy. But, a combination of breastfeeding and the rhythm method might be what you're looking for.
    The ';mini-pill,'; progestin only, is given to breastfeeding moms. It's the kind of pill you have to take at the same time every day; a couple of hours late severely affects its usefulness.





    I got a Copper-T IUD, and I'm very happy with it. No hormones, no fuss, no remembering to put it in. Lasts 10 years. (The hormone based ones last 1 year.) But a lot of insurance plans don't cover it; the device costs about $400. (Four hundred for 10 years' protection is a pretty good price.)





    FAM, the Fertility Awareness Method, is also usable, but it requires that you pay a lot of attention to your body, and keep very good records.
    In view of the options you've eliminated, the only safe method I can think of still remaining is ...abstinence! Good Luck! Debbi
    Breast feeding itself is said to be a good birth control measure.

    How important is the control arm to a car and how much is a fair price for the part and/or installation?

    I have 95 civic and the control arm is pretty well rusted but only recently a mechancic told me i should change it and it was never mentioned beforeHow important is the control arm to a car and how much is a fair price for the part and/or installation?
    Unless the control arm is integral with the lower ball joint and the lower ball joint is bad or there is a MASSIVE corrosion problem that has all but rusted the arm off of the car paint it if it bothers your mechanic. Or have someone you trust recomend a second mechanic to you to look and make sure!How important is the control arm to a car and how much is a fair price for the part and/or installation?
    Hm mm I tend to wonder if the mechanic is being honest bec why wasn't it mentioned before. Plus their metal and will rust that doesn't mean their bad or worn out either. If it was bad it be bent or have play in the ends. Therefore if i was you for sure id have another mechanic look at it . Some shops will check it for free so why not phone around and see who offers a free front end inspection. Plus i might get another mechanic besides that to indeed double check .


    Again i find it funny that rust would be mentioned , unless its roded right out. Plus if that part was gone you'd notice play in the front end , especially when crossing uneven terrain.


    Roughly that part would be about 150.00 to 200.00 and the labour shouldn't really take longer then an hr to do but most shops would want 2 to 2.5 hrs labour to do it bec they go by book values.So i suggest you really phone around check even do it yourself auto wreckers bec you can get them cheap and still in good shape too. I always look for shops that will allow you to bring your own parts bec they usually are much more fair mechanics and cheaper. So if you got a used part it be about 40 or 50 bucks , 200 plus tax tops to install but if new you'd be looking at 400 or so.
    It is very important though I would take it to a Honda dealer to ask if it needs replacing, they are the guys that would know.


    This does not mean you have to use them to replace it and don't let them badger you in to booking it in. A good mechanic will have a quick look and give you a honest answer.
    I agree with; *iller Pumpkin? A trusted Honda Dealer would be even better.

    How long does it take to be hired for air traffic control?

    im 24, enlisting in the air force for atc which is a 6 year commitment. I heard the faa doesnt hire after 31, which is cutting it close. Is this rule set in stone, or just a guideline? Also id like to hear from atc'ers on the reality of life in this profession. I know its a high stress job..ive heard working conditions arent great and employees arent treated well..please elaborateHow long does it take to be hired for air traffic control?
    As a former military controller, you are not subject to the age limitation. You will note that this job announcement makes no mention of age:





    http://jobs.faa.gov/asap_detail.asp?vac_鈥?/a>





    Unlike this announcement for CTI hires (works the same for off the street hires) which specifies the %26lt;31 limit:





    http://jobs.faa.gov/asap_detail.asp?vac_鈥?/a>How long does it take to be hired for air traffic control?
    it depends on how motivated you are at becoming a controler. tech school is about 18 weeks then after that its up to you and your trainer wherever you get stationed. depending on where you go the hours might suck or they might be nice, i got stationed where the tower is only open for about 12 hours a day (a training base) so i only work a 7 hour shift, which isnt bad. overall i guess in an average amount of time it should only take you about 10-13 months including tech school.
    They make exceptions for women and minorities, as well as x military with ATC experience. You can also go to work for contract towers and such, instead of the FAA. Lockhell Martian is trying to obtain tower and center contracts, because they've done so well fukking up flight service, and knowing how our federal gubment works, I'm sure they'll get the contract.





    Go do your Air Force thing and don't worry about the age thing. you're a chick, so you're golden. My wife was in AFSS 15 years, so I know the scoop.





    P.S..the word ';wash out'; was used by a poster..well in the FAA the word ';grievence'; takes care of that.
    It is a set in stone rule, however I believe the transition from Air Force to FAA is a quick one, you shouldn't have a problem. Although I went to school with a lot of controllers, I'm not one of them, so I can't speak to the working conditions.
    I started my Air Traffic Control career with the air force and it was one of the best decisions of my life. When I enlisted in 2002 you had the option to only sign for four years which is what I did. The changed the rule a couple of years later because it takes some people almost two years before they get qualified and the Air Force was not getting enough of a return from the amount of time necessary it takes to train and the retainability of a four year enlistie. So they changed it to six years.





    Yes you can get hired with the FAA if you are older then 31 as long as you are coming from the military and you have prior ATC experience. I don't remember the name of the rule but you can still get hired.





    I am not going to lie to you it is going to be really difficult. After basic training you will go to Biloxi Mississippi for your tech-school training which is about six months. You will think that this is hard but it is only the tip of the iceberg. Just stick with it and study hard. Once you get your first base assignment after you graduate then your actual training will begin. Then you become an Air Traffic Control apprentice AKA a 3-level. You are going to hate life as a 3-level. You will learn what that means pretty quickly. It is when you are in training and you are pretty much worthless to your facility because you are not qualified to work in position by yourself and you have to be monitored my a qualified controller. You will get treated like garbage but if you are sharp, have a good attitude, and good at ATC then hopefully in a year or less you will get your qualification. I can't stress attitude enough. I have seen too many people get washed out who could do the job but had poor attitudes. ATC is as much a elite club, as a job. Once you get your qualification then you will officially be an Air Traffic Controller and you will be able to work in position by yourself. This means that your facility that you work in has deemed that you are safe enough to work under pressure and that you can get the job done. This is when you will fine tune your skills that you learned when you were in training. Then you will become a trainer and train others. To this point will be about two years down the line.





    Right now I am a contractor in Afghanistan working at Kandahar International Airport. I have been here about a year and I will be heading back to the states to work for the FAA in Southern CA. I decided to become a contractor because of the pay cut that the FAA put on new controllers. I was just going to wait them out but I am ready to head back to the states. I have already turned down two jobs with the FAA but now I am going to go with them. If I can give you any advice it would be for the long term. Get your CTO (control tower operator license.) Meaning get qualified in a tower. I am a RADAR controller and i did not have the time to finish my qualifications for the tower before I got out of the AF. For contracting purposes when you get out there are contract towers all over the US and throughout the world but very few contract RADAR facilities. The only way to get a CTO is through the Air Force, FAA and I have also heard that there is a CTI school in Pennsylvania that offers a CTO but there is a three year waiting list.





    I know that I am throwing a lot of information at you but get used to it. ATC is not an easy career choice. You should believe the roomers of what people say about it. If you go into it with that mind frame then you should be fine and hopefully not have too many surprises. Just do your best and work hard because if you don't... Then you will get washed out. There are a lot of people floating around the Air Force who are ATC washouts. I don't want to scare you but this is not a career for everybody.





    Good luck and I hope for you the best! E mail me if you have any other questions.
    I knew an ex military ATCer that started the AF about your age. He cut it close to the 31 year age rule, but got hired 3 months shy of his 31st. Some of the others are talking about the military hiring program. Yes it is much faster than CTI (if you consider time in school) and far faster than off the street, however just being military ATC doesn't wave the age restriction. I work with an ex AF controller who can't get the waiver at 44.





    I found this.


    http://www.defenselink.mil/releases/rele鈥?/a>





    ';To be eligible for hire under this policy, military controllers must have retired after 20 years of military Service and received either air traffic control specialist certification or a facility rating to FAA standards';

    How do I get my puppy's biting and nipping under control?

    I've tried everything I know how to get him not to bite or nip. Hes teething and he would rather chew on us than his teether toys. When we try to play all he wants to do it mouth my hand. I don't believe in physical punishment. I need to teach him that bitng it not okay.How do I get my puppy's biting and nipping under control?
    Good for you, physical punishment is not the way to go. When your pup bites/nips right then say ouch, like you mean it and immediently, right that second, turn away from him. Do not talk to or look at him for a few minutes. Be consistant, do it every time, have other people that he has contact with do the same. Soon he will learn that biting/nipping is unacceptable. This is why pups should stay together as a family unit with mom till they are about three months old, they learn this from each other. One pup bites another to hard and the bitten pup yelps and walks away. That way they learn not to bite too hard.How do I get my puppy's biting and nipping under control?
    I made a huge mistake in thinking that when my little Alfie was 7 weeks it was adorable and it didn't hurt! Well when his teeth actually come through it tore my hand to shreds, often drawing blood, Obviously, it was my own fault as i had taught him it was acceptable behaviour. Now i say ';NO'; in a stern voice and walk out the room. BITING= END OF FUSS/PLAYTIME. When you come back into the room, dont fuss him, ignore him to give him time to calm down and then pick him up when he's not paying you any attention. You are establishing yourself as leader then too.


    I took my dog to puppy classes to teach him basic obedience and I found that when he is in a biting mood i turn to spending 5-10mins training him as this kind of distracts him. You can get treats that have like a mint filling in them too, I Got Alfie's from Pets At Home. The filling helps numb the gums so there should be no need to chew.





    Hope this helps in some way, every dog is different and we only learn through experience. Good Luck! x
    Try this, when he starts to bite you blow on his face and say ';stop'; or clap your hands and in a firm voice say ';NO, or Stop';. If that doesn't work, try getting a spray bottle filled with water and spray him when he gets overly playful and bites. Also give him one of his toys right after so that he can chew on that, and not your hand.
    Don't hit him in the butt with a rolled up newspaper or slap his butt. I have read several articles on puppy chewing (I'm getting my first purebred Siberian husky puppy!) I have read many times you should take your hand and do a light nip at the scruff of their neck. Make sure the toys you have are small enough for a puppy to chew on. You can take a sock and tie it in a not and freeze it for a slightly bigger dog or take a baby chew toy and freeze it. Don't hurt the dog or deprive it of food that is very bad. Just let it know it's wrong by a little shake at the scruff of the neck that is what dogs do in the wild and to a puppy you are just another one in the pack. I am dominate over my dogs because I do the nothing in life is free tactic. When they are older teach your dog a simple trick (sit, shake, and lie down) and before they eat make them do a trick. Always eat first the leader of the pack always eats first. To let them go outside make them do a trick. The pack leader always leaves the home first. Never let the dog on furniture it makes them think they are equal to you. Always be at a higher place than your dog ( if they are on the floor then you should be in a chair). There are many tricks to see if your dog is about to let go of it's dominance these are called calming signs. Excessive yawning or the licking of lips is a calming sign. If your dog begins to sniff the area around him he is sending a calming sign. If your dogs eyes are dilated then your dog is very confident and is feeling dominate over you! Don't let that happen. Being dominate does not mean you beat your dog into submission. In fact the dog does not want to be dominate there is a lot of pressure on the pack leader to lead the pack.
    DO NOT SPRAY HIM! It will make him fear water. We are having the same problem with our puppy and our vet told us to go to walmart and get one of those clicking things that people use to train their dogs and when she starts to bite us click it. After clicking it say NO! it has been working really good for us. The click is just to get her attention. You can also try yelping when he bites you that is how dogs tell other dogs that it hurts. He doesn't realize that he is biting you hard enough to hurt you. So you can yelp and tell him NO!. The yelping did not work for us and that is why we are doing the clicker. We bought it at walmart for $3. It is blue and has a yellow button on it that when you press it, it makes a clicking noise. Good luck!
    Over-act!





    When he nips you, yell out or say ';ow!'; loudly, the dog will learn that what he does is bad, and will stop!!





    But never do what the first poster said.... my old dog used to be hit with a rolled up newspaper when she was a puppy (not by us!) and for the rest of her life she was terrified of newspapers.
    During teething stage hand over a hard-wood or plastic piece to ur puppy. It is common in children also. It may be due to vitamin deficiency. Dump with more vitalized food.
    Have you bought him a bone or a pig ear because those taste really good for dogs and they allow them to have something to chew on.


    Hope I helped!!
    When he bites or nips, tell him in a firm voice ';No!'; if you keep it up, the nipping/biting should stop.
    rolled up newspaper. just a little pat on the butt when he bites. only way.
