Video: Geico Skytypers cruise over Lake Michigan before Milwaukee Air & Water Show
I had never truly appreciated Milwaukee's lakefront until I sailed over it at 1,200 feet aboard the Geico Skytyper SNJ2 -- an aircraft used in the 1940s to train World War II soldiers for single seat Mustang fighters.
The ride lent itself to an up-close-and-personal view of the city. The pilot flew with the cockpit open at 135 mph. And while the aircraft welcomed its share of jostles, shakes and full-body thrusts while cruising over Lake Michgian, the unforgettable airborn performance stirred up ample excitement for the fleet's debut at the Milwaukee Air & Water Show this weekend. »Read Full Blog Post

AFTER A 5-year-old girl allegedly was abducted from a West Philadelphia school and raped in January 2013, School District officials said they were mounting a comprehensive review of security procedures at their buildings.
"We want to get ahead of things," Philadelphia Police Chief Inspector Cynthia Dorsey, who was in charge of the district's Office of School Safety at the time, had said last March.
But more than a year after the widely publicized incident at William Cullen Bryant Elementary, at 60th Street and Cedar Avenue - in which a woman wearing Muslim garb allegedly posed as the girl's mother - two parents are wondering whether their children remain vulnerable to security lapses.

In Brief: Syrian TV says 39 killed in campaign tent shelling
Syrian TV: 39 killed in campaign tent shelling
BEIRUT -- In the first attack to target a campaign event, a mortar shell slammed into a tent packed with supporters of President Bashar Assad, killing 39 people and wounding 205 others, Syrian state TV said Friday. The shelling underscored deep fears in government strongholds that rebels will escalate attacks in an attempt to disrupt the balloting.
Assad is widely expected to win a third, seven-year mandate in the vote scheduled for June 3.
State TV showed pictures of Assad supporters dancing in a campaign tent in Daraa. It then showed people lying dead and wounded on the ground, including several children. Its toll was the first provided by the government for the attack, which opposition activists earlier said killed 21.
Thai coup makers hold former prime minister
BANGKOK -- Ousted members of Thailand's former government surrendered to the new military junta Friday, as soldiers forcefully dispersed hundreds of anti-coup activists who defied a ban on large-scale gatherings to protest the army's seizure of power.
Troops detained at least two activists during the protest in downtown Bangkok, which descended into scuffles but ended without injury.
The junta, though, remained firmly in charge, summoning more than 100 top political figures -- the entire ousted government, their associates and a handful of their opponents. It also banned those on its wanted list from leaving the country.
Among the officials who showed up at an army compound in Bangkok was former Prime Minister Yingluck Shinawatra.

It took about an hour to assemble and load the bike. We took a trip to the ocean which is round trip about 300 miles with no problems at all. The straps are a bit stiff to adjust. I think it is a good option for someone that can't lift a bike very far off the ground which is one of the reasons I chose this bike rake. The guys at Auto Anything make this suggest after I told them what I was looking for. All the tools arrive in the package is another plus.
Learn the main differences between Saris and Thule bike racks to help determine which is better for your needs.
Know before you buy! Read customer reviews about Thule Bike Racks or ask our Product Experts.
By becoming two of the biggest brands in the business, these companies are both synonymous with high quality. But, when faced with a decision between purchasing INNO or Thule racks, it's best to weigh your cargo-carrying needs before you purchase.
No matter the adventure you have planned, Thule and Yakima racks make it easy to transfer your gear from point A to point B, freeing up cabin space for you and your passengers.
You're in luck, because the aftermarket is stacked to the racks with bicycle racks designed to get it there in one piece. But, with so many brands and varieties, a lot of people are left to wonder how to install a bike rack.
When it's time to load your two-wheeled steeds and make way for the trailhead, a high-quality bike rack is a must.
Adam Donahue, Marketing Manager for Thule, chatted with us at the 2012 SEMA Show about the brand's latest cargo boxes-and bike racks.
So, your ready to hit the pavement for a long road trip, but you need to make some elbow room for passengers. Well, look no further than a quality luggage rack. And, though many road trippers have their opinion on who makes the best roof racks, most agree that Thule makes racks of unsurpassed design.

Skip to comments.Britains Already Dead, It Just Hasnt Been Buried Yet
Posted on 06/05/2012 9:01:43 AM PDT by SeekAndFind
Dont be fooled by the pomp and dazzle of the Queens royal Diamond Jubilee flotilla easing past the tourists, celebrity-spotters, and pickpockets on the Thames. Britain is a country rotting from the inside, the first nation on earth that elected to destroy its culture with political correctness.
Asks British columnist Rod Liddle, Who are the people who have made Britain what it is today, the ones who ensured that we became a limp-wristed and decrepit, post-imperial satrapy of incompetence, sanctimony, self-obsession and self-loathing?
Who indeed? (By limp-wristed, Liddle means lacking in conviction, not gay). The short answer is the new aristocracy, the bien pensant, well-shod, culturally aloof types who watch the BBC, read The Guardian, and vote to nudge the country ever farther along its current trajectory, which has not even slightly been altered by the return of a Conservative to the premiership. Against the wishes of the average citizen, Britain has a government that is simultaneously abdicating its core functions and pretending to take responsibility for other duties for which it is spectacularly ill-suited. It has abandoned a proud, concrete culture in pursuit of a hazy dream of a transnational ideal. The peoples response has been to fume lightly and do nothing, because theyre British and expect things to be bad and get worse.
A few days in London will quickly cure you of any notion that, for instance, New York is a chaotic city. It only barely rated notice in most of the media the other day when five of Londons 11 subway lines went down simultaneously [1] at rush hour due to signal failures and train breakdowns. It was about 80 degrees at the time and most trains have no air conditioning. Subway unions are threatening a strike. And yet a glance at the national news sources, which are obsessed with the massacres in Syria, the Jubilee, the Olympics, and the never-ending Leveson Inquiry that vaguely promises a sinister new truth czar will be empowered to decide in advance which media stories can be published, turns up almost zero outrage at all of this.
The respectable media outlets dont much bother with the latest outrages on the crime front, such as the fatal convenience-store stabbing [2] that resulted in only a ten-year sentence for the assailant, who is expected to be free in four. Unleash a nutty racist tirade on the subway [3], though, and you stand in contempt of that BBC-transnational ideal of a multiculti wonderland. Judges will express no leniency whatsoever, handing out five month sentences for the crime of… speaking.
So the government cant make the trains run on time or make people feel safe on the streets. (a friend who lived in New York for many years tells me of how, after moving to London, he witnessed a stabbing, called the police, and waited a number of minutes for them to arrive, by which time the perpetrators were long gone. The nearest police station was about 300 yards away, but the constabulary decided to send representatives from a farther one instead, lest they risk crossing paths with any violent criminals.)
Never let it be said the government is satisfied with this state of affairs; no, instead, it is advancing into brand new areas of incompetence. The prime minister has been boasting of his exciting plan [4] to literally head a nanny state as he sets up, for new parents, an office to send texts, hold classes, and give tiredness counseling. (For a play-by-play of Britains collapse, consult the blogger-columnist Peter Hitchens [5], who, ever since writing The Abolition of Britain [6] over a decade ago, invariably takes the most pessimistic imaginable view of things and yet is rarely wrong.)
On the business side of things, a government-commissioned venture capitalists report called for some obvious changes in labor regulations that would make it easier to fire workers (and consequently make businesses less leery of hiring in the first place). The left-wing, Liberal Democrat business minister, whose relationship with his field is much like that of an infectious diseases specialist, called the plan completely bonkers and suffered no repercussions from his boss whatsoever. The plan will gather dust. Another government minister, Conservative William Hague, actually gave an interview in which he told business to stop complaining and just hire [7]. Currently, when a business wants to fire someone, it often has to justify the decision before a labor tribunal [8]. A proposed reform would substitute a sort of pre-settlement in which the fired worker gets a cash payout instead of the right to endless litigation.
From offshore, Britain finds itself in the absurd version of a V-2 attack, with almost weekly regulatory strafing coming in from the European Union and the European Court of Human Rights. Britain, which voted simply to join a common market in 1973 but never voted to be ruled from the continent, is so used to such indignities as being told that it must not deport al-Qaeda terrorist Abu Qatada and must furnish prisoners with ballots, that even David Camerons Conservatives generally respond by being loudly huffy and doing nothing. Camerons latest solemn vow is that he will ignore the ECHR directive to give votes to prisoners. Well see. If he is going to deny the ECHR the sovereignty it plainly lacks, why doesnt he go all the way?
Because hes afraid of the BBC.
We joke about the state media in America, but in Britain by far the leading media outlet is the BBC, which operates independently but is effectively funded by a tax (a large one, more than you pay for HBO). Awash in public funding, it does exactly what youd think it would do: attack competitors and promote a left-liberal worldview, for instance by portraying anyone opposed to the grand European project as eccentric and possibly demented. Now that Europe is imploding and Britons say, by a 51 to 28 margin, that they want to leave the EU [9], the political-media complex is scrambling to prevent the issue from ever coming to a vote (though if it does, the same complex will move mountains to ensure the vote is the correct, transnational one). George Osborne, the number two man in the Tory party, has actually suggested that the solution to Europe is more Europe — fiscal and policy integration, i.e., a superstate with its capital in Brussels and its biggest source of power in Berlin. Britain would finally relinquish all claim to authority over its own affairs and essentially cease to exist as a political entity. What Hitler and Napoleon couldnt do, the dull Eurocrats and their silky-voiced, terribly respectable media cheerleaders are intent on doing. But then again, Britain is already dead, it just hasnt been buried yet.
sa·tra·py (str-p, -trp, str-p) n. pl. sa·tra·pies 1. The territory or sphere under the rule of a satrap. 2. A nation, state, territory, or area controlled as if by a satrap: "No military legions from the West are going to liberate their Eastern European satrapies" (John Hughes).
Limp wristed Liberals are a disease everywhere...
"Who are the people who have made Britain what it is today, the ones who ensured that we became a limp-wristed and decrepit, post-imperial satrapy of incompetence, sanctimony, self-obsession and self-loathing?"
Wish I had written that.
Excellent article, thanks for posting. Britain is toast - specifically, toasted pita the Muslims are dipping into the hummus of Sharia to eat, while Brits are arrested for injuring home invaders and then deprived medical care while prisoners are given full hospitalization.
And the Rats want nothing better than to intall the same self-destruction here.
I suspect they're not the same people.
A few generations ago the Brits ruled half of the world and their navy ruled the oceans of the world.
They sat on top of the greatest empire ever assembled.
Now their government doesn't even allow them to own a pistol, to carry a pocket knife or use a pointed stick for self defense.
We are well on our way to the same collapse and liberal hell.
Oy'm not dead...
Cracks started appearing in the British psyche, 70 years ago, when they threw out hands-down, national hero Winston Churchill, to elect the Labour socialists, in a decisive electoral defeat.
I don't want to go on th' cart.
So in other words, the once great British Lion, is now a shallow, narcissistic, homosexual pussy.
WE have the shallow, narcissistic, homosexual pussy!
Ho ho ho!
"WE have the shallow, narcissistic, homosexual pussy!"
That we do.
However, the description in the article, was citing British society as a whole.
Our America-hating, RaceMarxist, Faggot in Chief aside, they are a lot further down the destructive, politically-correct, socialist spiral than we are.
For now.
Thanks for the ping.
Two things England can do (but won't) to right itself: bring back guns for the populace, and kick out every Muslim.
1—96% of the UK is not Muslim. And Sharia law exists in just five English cities as a purely civil law, legally subordinate to English law. With no plans to expand it.
2-As explained numerous times, it is British police procedure to 'arrest' all those involved in a burglary incident, where the burglar has been killed or injured. It is simply procedure, which allows the police to seperate the parties, and officially interview the people involved.
In almost every case, the homeowner is released within a few hours, when the evidence supports their testimony.
I myself was a victim of burglary in Sept 2008, and incident where my brother and I beat and held the suspect, with injuries to myself and the burglar. So I KNOW the reality of this issue.
It is a myth, a complete myth, that we in the UK are no allowed to defend our homes. In fact the Tory govt now, and even the Labour govt, STRENGTHENED the law in regards to homeowners right to self-defence.
3—Deprived medical care?. Rubbish. On the NHS, no one, even trivial cases, are denied medical care. You have been reading myth.
People who bang on about that ignore WHY it happened.
It happened because the British people blamed (rightly) the prewar Tory govt of getting us into the war in the first place, by failing to stop Hitler. Nobody in 1945 had anything but great admiration for Churchill as a man and as a PM, but that wasnt the issue.
The other reason is, and remember we are talking about a country exhausted and literally destroyed by war, that Labour's vision of a 'new Jerusalem' was so enticing to voters, with an NHS, new housing, new infrastructure, new schools, a vision which literally sought to rebuild Britain.
The Brits were highly respectable as recent as the 80's, under Margaret Thatcher.
It shows that total collapse happens very quickly.
1—The handgun ban was stupid, but as I have pointed out in other threads, the British public has never been a gun owning populace (highest ownership: 1.6m weapons in 1996 in a population of 60m). So most people through UK history never wanted to own one, so thats why the gun laws of the 1920's, 1968, 1988 and 1997 passed unchallenged or actually had public support.
2—Knife crime is a serious problem here. Its our equivalent of your gun crime. So penalties are harsh for carrying or using.
You are wrong that we are not allowed to carry. We can as long as its for a valid reason.
3—Pointed sticks?. Sorry, you been watching a bit too much Monty Python?.
As usual, you get right to the heart of the matter, Catherine.
For now.
Strangely enough, I get that last bit.
Churchill was THE best man for wartime Britain. The Brits recognized this, and also recognized that he had done this job better than any other living man could have, and that the job no longer needed a Churchill.
In an odd way it was recognition of his success that paved the way for his replacement.
Hello, Windflier! Thank you. :)
It's only right and proper to acknowledge sage comments when we see them. You're welcome.
Don't let any of them over here unless they are first examined for any hint of liberal tendencies.
Why should we kick out all the Muslims?.
The vast majority of UK Muslims are decent, law abiding people who follow their faith and are not terrorists or extremists. And what extremism there is is in certain hotspots: London, Birmingham, Bradford, Oldham. There isnt any Muslim extremism in Scotland, NI, Wales, and many parts of England. The Scots-Welsh-NI muslim communities have worked hard to make sure of that.
We didnt kick out all the Irish because of the IRA, did we?. And they have been killing us for decade upon decade....
As to guns, whilst the gun laws of 1922, 1968, 1988 and 1997 were imo unnecessary and/or stupid, the argument to bring back guns dosent wash.
Why?. Simple. The British public, contrary to recent and popular myth, have never been a gun owning public. The highest rate of ownership was 1.6m legal weapons in a 60m population in 1996, just prior to the 1997 handgun ban. The majority of the UK has never held a gun, let alone owned one. And even in 'olden' times, we were never gun owners.
Thats why, right or wrong, the UK public never railed against the gun laws, and even in the case of 1988 and 1997 supported the bans.
And btw, it IS legal to own guns in the UK: rifles and shotguns and certain types of handgun, as long as they are licenced.
Reports of our demise have been greatly exaggerated
"I dont want to go on th cart."
I feel happy!
"Deprived medical care?. Rubbish. On the NHS, no one, even trivial cases, are denied medical care. You have been reading myth."
Things will change. England must re-claim herself—it will happen but not until this generation is burned away. Wait for a new king and a new Conservative Government—maybe National Front. They were destroyed by PC—just as Russia was destroyed by Communism.
David Cameron, I thought, would be a breath of fresh air. He has turned out to be a poof.
Let's hope for another Thatcher.
And, above all, a revival of Christianity in Great Britain.
The main problem with that is that the National Front have no real policies other than 'send the buggers back'. The British National Party have more substance but are National Socialists in all but name. Have a look at their manifesto and tell me if you like what you see.
The only real conservative option is the UKIP, and they are seen as something of a joke.
With all due respect, I don't think muslims can be compared to the Irish, nor can Islam be called a peaceful religion.
Thanks for the reply.
Yes, you are correct that there have been accusations and controversies over denied operations and drugs. My point was more about the general denying of medical care to British people.
My point was that the NHS by definition are duty bound not to turn anyone away. The NHS for example will deal every weekend with hundreds of drunken idiots who clog the A&E depts all over the country, and whose 'illness' is nothing but too much booze and and copious vomit. Or idiots who turn up at hospital expecting treatment for a cut finger or a sore throat when there are much sicker/injured people.
Certainly, there IS a problem with NICE in England denying drugs on the NHS due to 'cost'. Not so bad in Scotland, Wales and NI.
Yes, I will admit there are cases where care has allegedly been denied, my myth remark was aimed at the (American) myth that the NHS operates now as a deathpanel healthcare system.
That certainly IS a myth. I will admit there are problems, but it is far from being a deathcare system or death panel NHS as claimed by many here.
UKIP is now the fourth largest political party in Britain. They may even be the third largest - the liberal-democrats have lost a lot of ground since they had to grow up and actually DO things, rather than complain about them.
The real problem with UKIP (apart from the fact that they dont have very much money) is that they are perceived as a one issue party. They (we - I'm a paid up member) are trying to broaden the appeal but with the EU being so pervasively evil its hard not to concentrate on their inequities.
With equal respect, if your friends and/or relatives have just been blown to pieces I suspect distinctions on the ethnic or religious affiliation of the people who did it are not very important to you.
But at the same time, your reply highlights a weakness in the system. The a&e departments do get "clogged up" by drunks and wasters and idiots who can't use a plaster, but the reason they do that is because they do not have to pay for the treatment (or rather, not pay for it directly). People abuse the system because there is no downside to doing so.
No. You are right.
After all, the Muslims here havent yet murdered 3000 British people, killed the future King's favourite uncle, murdered a Prime Minister, worked hand in hand with the Nazis, shot two Aussies because they 'looked British', murdered British soldiers in Germany, attempted to blow up most of Gibraltar, murdered an American and maimed another (Harrods bombing 1983) set off bombs at a Rememberence Sunday parade, committing acts of violence since the 1850's, and been setting off bombs in the UK and Northern Ireland since 1938....
error in my post to you: Irish Republicans did not murder a Prime Minister, they have however murdered several senior British politicians over the last 130 years, including Airey Neave, a WW2 hero, and in 1882 Lord Cavendish, the Secretary of Ireland.
As a Tory voter, I am more and more moving towards UKIP.
Yes, I agree with you there. However, I didn't say violence in the UK is being produced solely by Muslims. What I am saying---and what I surely expect just about every Freeper knows---is that Islam is a savage blood cult. The higher percentage of Muslims you have in your society, the more problems you will suffer. Look at what's going on in England now. Sharia law is being practiced, there are Muslim child rape gangs. By 2030 England will have more Muslims that Kuwait, and one in every ten Brits will be Islamic. That is a recipe for disaster, and for the death of a great nation.

Help scientists categorise whale song... also, why do whales sing?
Whale.fm is a project (which you can contribute to!) to help "marine researchers understand what whales are saying." - really it's a project looking at the effects that manmade sound has on marine life, but what whales are communicating with their songs is still a really interesting question, so I've listed some relevant links in extended description.

"Oh my God, it's orcas attacking sperm whales."
On April 18, a half-dozen orcas battled a pod of sperm whales off the southern coast of Sri Lanka. The unusual encounter is one of fewer than a dozen such recorded conflicts — and the first observed. "We saw the water churning on the horizon," said Heinrichs, a photographer and filmmaker who was in the area looking for blue whales. He and his colleagues steered their boat toward the patch of white water. As they got closer, they saw an enormous dorsal fin slicing through the water — a killer whale trademark — and then noticed the group of sperm whales, clustered together in a defensive stance. At that point, Heinrichs did what many of us would not do: He jumped in.
Don't just stand there, fall asleep
Researchers sneak up on sleeping sperm whales (.mpg video, hosted by Current Biology.) Matt Kaplan, writing in Nature, summarizes a 2008 article in Current Biology: "An accidental encounter with a pod of sleeping sperm whales has opened researchers' eyes to some unknown sleep behaviours of these giant sea creatures . . . A team led by Luke Rendell at the University of St Andrew's, UK, were monitoring calls and behaviour in sperm whales (Physeter macrocephalus) off the northern Chile coast when they accidentally drifted into the middle of a pod of whales hanging vertically in the water, their noses poking out of the surface. At least two of the whales were facing the boat, but not a single animal responded." [more inside]

It has become far too easy in our consumer culture for us to forget that coffee is a crop. This means that coffee is something that is grown by farmers; it requires workers to harvest, to mill, to dry, and a list of other tasks that happen well before those beans ever arrive to us. We believe if handled properly at origin, coffee has the potential to be respected and treated like a fine wine. We aim to bring in coffees that have been grown properly and responsibly. Quality sourcing is just the first step in our journey toward the best possible flavor in the resulting cups of coffee we make.

North Tahoe AAUW is comprised of members residing along the lake from Incline Village down the West Shore of Lake Tahoe. We include the communities of Incline Village, Kings Beach, Tahoe City, Homewood, Tahoma, and Truckee.
The North Lake Tahoe AAUW Branch was formed in 1973 and combined women from both California and Nevada. The branch was represented at both California and Nevada AAUW Conventions. Ten years later, to better serve the interests of members and accommodate transportation concerns with snow or traffic congestion, the branch split into the North Tahoe and Incline Village (now Tahoe Nevada) branches. Several of our members maintain dual membership in these organizations as well as other nearby AAUW branches, including South Lake Tahoe, Truckee, or Reno.
President's Message
The North Tahoe Branch of AAUW welcomes you!!
Our members enjoy living, working, and playing in one of the most beautiful places in the world and still manage to give much of their time and energy to support education and equity for women and girls. Advancing equity for women and girls through advocacy, education, philanthropy, and research is the Mission of AAUW. In support of this mission, our branch provides yearly support to local young girls,
- Sending 4-6 girls to Tech Trek, a science and math camp designed to develop interest, excitement, and self-confidence in young women who will enter eighth grade in the fall,
- Sending 1 girl to Girls State, a leadership and citizenship-training program offered to young women in California by the American Legion Auxiliary (ALA), and
- Providing a $1000 scholarship for a high school senior entering college.
Our branch has active and interesting "special interest" groups to join, including Marathon Bridge, In Stitches, a Book group, Great Decisions discussion group and a Gourmet dinner group.
Please check our calendar (http://northtahoe-ca.aauw.net) for our general meetings on the second Thursday of the month. We have varied and interesting speakers and would love to have you join us.
We look forward to meeting you.

I hear about Dead Island, I don't hear about Dead Island. What gives. This game, for a fact, is better then all the Fallouts, Red Dead Redemption, Dead Rising and just about any other game out there. I am so happy with this game, that I'm shocked. Its been a very long time where I have felt the urge to get back to the game as soon as I can.
So, whats good about the game you ask. THE ZOMBIE KILLING. FPS mode here. The zombie are, most of the time, crazy noisy. You see and hear them coming, you line up your shots and POW! Bone crushing satisfaction, or CUT, limbs go flying off. Each swing, jump or running away causes you to lose some energy. Not health. If you empty your energy, you can't swing your weapon. Sometimes this is a little ugly when you have three or four zombies in your face. Zombies often catch me and have there face inches from mine, but its a quick couple of button presses to get them off and push them to the ground.
THE LOOTING. I'm one of those people that like to grab and pick up everything. As far as items to make special items you can pick up everything you can find. The best thing is all the spaces where you might find things like duct tape and nails will "refill" and you can look there again for other things. You have a limited amount of space for weapons and it can be a little tough trying to figure out what to keep and what to throw away. Alot of the time I found that if I wasn't using it in my current weapon slots, I could sell it. Weapons do degrade sorta fast, but I always had about five to seven weapons in my weapon slots and it is very easy to change up weapons on the fly. Heck even if you throw all your weapons at the zombies the game pauses while your in menus and you can equip up all the other weapons you might have in your possesion. THE BEST PART is if you throw knives and blades, they stick in the zombes chest. After you kill the zombie you go up and take all your knives back by pulling them out of the zombie. Sweet. Zombie dying, even my wife was saying WTF as I sent a few zombies to a flaming death.
The EXPLORING. There is no time limit in this game. THANK GOD. The starting area I wandered around the pool and the bungalos for hours, killing zombies, searching for money and other stuff. Learning to fight and seeing how the zombies reacted to me. I was always a little nervous, a little jumpy. Some zombies are dead quiet, others are noisy as all get out. A good surround sound system will help you with this. Most of the time I was thinking "AW SHIT" whenever I would hear some of the loud screaming zombies.
The QUESTING. Chances are, at some points, you may have 20 quests in your log. Even so, you won't feel over whelmed. You can highlight the quest your working on. You have a waypoint marker. Granted it took me a long time to get through the first area. Only because I was screwing around so much. Hell you can find a car not to long into the game and I spent a very long time driving up and down the road just running over zombies. THE CAR DOES NOT DEGRADE, and like the items they respawn back to where they were, when you come back to the game.
I felt this game is more then a few steps beyond any game I have played. Creepy as hell and fun. I never felt overwhelmed and was always ready for more.
GAME OF THE YEAR! In my book at least.


text: Arthur Mitchell challenged the prejudice that black bodies were not suited to classical ballet. He danced with George Balanchine's New York City Ballet in the 1950s and 1960s, the first black dancer to become a leading dancer with a ballet company. In 1969 Mitchell started his own school in Harlem 'to get the kids off the streets'. He used 'dance' rather than 'ballet' which the boys thought 'sissy'. They soon found out their mistake. Ballet training involves more physical discipline than any sport. But Mitchell knew when to relax the rules. Boys did not have to wear the dreaded tights. They danced to drumbeats rather than classical music. He also believed that the discipline would help children who had known little control in their lives. In 1971 he founded Dance Theater of Harlem to showcase the dancers he had trained. Mitchell gave structure and purpose to the lives of thousands of children who went on to dance, work in the theatre or, applying the discipline he had taught them, to become doctors or lawyers.

A 1899 novella by Kate Chopin about Edna Pontellier, a married Victorian mother who experiences an awakening of her sexuality and creativity while vacationing on an island with her husband.
This begins when she meets a young man named Robert and develops an affection for him that is well beyond any love she feels for her husband. As the vacation progresses she becomes more and more distant from her husband and children, doing things like sleeping in a hammock rather than in bed with him and spending all day painting. Even after the vacation ends, Edna is a changed woman and cannot let go of what she discovered. The revelations about herself and her marriage cause her to question Victorian gender roles and the life she feels like she has unquestioningly walked into.
!! Contains Examples Of:
* BabiesMakeEverythingBetter: Believed by Adele. Questioned heavily by Edna.
* TheCasanova: Alcee Arubin.
* CourtlyLove: What Robert and Edna have, although Edna does seem to desire a physical relationship with Robert.
* DidYouThinkICantFeel?
* {{Foil}}: Adele to Edna. Adele and Mlle. Reisz are also this to each other.
* GRatedSex: The sex scenes are so G-rated students tend to completely miss them. The great irony of this is that when it was written the book was so raunchy it almost wasn't published.
* HystericalWoman: Mr. Pontellier thinks Edna is this, but the psychiatrist he calls to examine her encourages him to leave her be.
* LoveDodecahedron: A fairly mild case, [[spoiler: though with tragic results]]. Edna is married to Mr. Pontellier, but [[spoiler: she and Robert are in love, although she also has a lust-driven affair with Alcee as a sort of substitute while both Mr. Pontellier and Robert are away. Alcee is also flirty with other women,]] and Edna and Adele have some LesYay going on early in the story.
* MomentKiller: Celestine [[spoiler: walking in on Edna and Robert cuddling to tell Edna that Adele is having her baby.]]
* TheOphelia: Parallels can be drawn between [[spoiler:Edna's death and the death of Ophelia.]]
* ProperLady: Adele Ratignolle'. Her submissiveness and devotion to her family and husband make her an ideal woman. Adele is extremely sweet, feminine, and fragile. However, Adele Ratignolle's open-minded Creole ways help Edna to unleash her self and her inner artist.
* SexAsRiteOfPassage: Edna's affair with [[spoiler: Alcee]] is part of what finally makes her unwilling to continue [[spoiler: the life she has]].
* SpoiledBrat: Victor Lebrun, Robert's little brother who wants Edna for himself, despite only being 19.
* SuicideBySea: Edna swims far into the sea and lets herself be drowned. It's quite symbolic as learning to swim and bathing in the sea meant a lot for her and unleashed her desires and creativity.
* SympatheticAdulterer: [[spoiler:Edna.]]
* TrueBlueFemininity: The Farival twins wear white and blue, said to be the "Virgin's Colors".

A little more than seven months ago, Phillies president Andy MacPhail sat at a table in a Bonita Springs, Fla., hotel, and said he expected the 2016 season to reveal if the club is on the fast, medium or slow track to postseason contention. "I would say somewhere between medium and fast," MacPhail said this weekend.

9/26/2016 | Phillies instructs features future outfield duo

9/24/2016 | Franco stays tough on Mets with 3-run homer
Phillies third baseman Maikel Franco hopes for more big moments next season. This season? Well, he will take what he can get. Franco certainly has enjoyed a big weekend at Citi Field, including Saturday night in a 10-8 victory over the Mets.

The Mets hope for no issues from right-hander Robert Gsellman, who squares off against Phillies righty Jake Thompson in the series finale on Sunday afternoon at Citi Field.

Jeanmar Gomez will remain the Phillies' closer through the end of the season, but he will not pitch during the next few save situations.
9/23/2016 | Gilmartin, Mets continue NL Wild Card quest vs. Phils
Noah Syndergaard was scratched from Saturday night's game against the Phillies at Citi Field because of strep throat. Sean Gilmartin will start in his place. The announcement came a day after New York scratched Steven Matz because of soreness in his left shoulder.
9/22/2016 | Gomez blows save, Phils could make change
Jeanmar Gomez had been one of the Phillies' best stories of the season through mid-August. He had transformed himself from a relatively anonymous middle reliever into a closer with 30-plus saves. But after he blew his sixth save of the season in the ninth inning Thursday night in a 9-8 loss in 11 innings to the Mets at Citi Field, one wonders how much longer he will be in that role, whether it be this season or next.
9/22/2016 | Ynoa to sub for Matz in 2nd MLB start vs. Phils
Steven Matz had been scheduled to pitch against the Phillies at Citi Field, but he was scratched because of pain and discomfort in his left shoulder on Thursday. Rookie right-hander Gabrial Ynoa will pitch in his place opposite the Phillies' Jeremy Hellickson.
9/22/2016 | NYC hails a Cab(rera)! Met's HR wows Citi
Ender Inciarte was safely in Miami with the Braves. No one was going to take this win away from the Mets, who needed it so badly.

9/22/2016 | Goeddel diagnosed with concussion after HBP
It is no surprise that Phillies outfielder Tyler Goeddel sustained a concussion Wednesday night. He got hit in the helmet with a 93-mph fastball from White Sox reliever Chris Beck in the sixth inning of an 8-3 victory at Citizens Bank Park. Goeddel laid on his back at home plate for a couple minutes before standing up and walking back to the Phillies' dugout.
9/22/2016 | Howard homers in return to lineup
Ryan Howard is back in the Phillies' lineup. He started Thursday night's series opener against the Mets at Citi Field. Howard had not played since Friday against the Marlins at Citizens Bank Park because of swelling in his left knee. He had the knee drained Sunday.
9/21/2016 | Phillies glimpse future as youngsters step up
It is just one game, but a game like this might allow the Phillies to dream a little about the future. They not only beat the White Sox on Wednesday night at Citizens Bank Park, 8-3, they beat Sox ace Chris Sale. They hammered him for seven hits and six runs in just four innings, making it his second shortest start of the season.
9/21/2016 | Mets expect hard-fought set from Phillies
The Mets have had success against their closest geographical rival, winning six of their last nine games against the Phillies, but New York knows its four-game set with Philadelphia, which starts on Thursday night at Citi Field, will provide its own set of challenges.
9/21/2016 | Howard receives club's Clemente recognition
Ryan Howard's Phillies' career is nearing its end, but he received one more award Wednesday night at Citizens Bank Park. The Phillies presented him their Roberto Clemente Award for representing "the game of baseball through extraordinary character, community involvement, philanthropy and positive contributions, both on and off the field."
9/21/2016 | Mackanin may replace Gomez as closer
Nobody could have predicted Jeanmar Gomez would save 37 games this season. So then who could have predicted somebody else could still close games for the Phillies in the season's final 11 games? Phillies manager Pete Mackanin has been forced to consider the possibility because Gomez has a 10.13 ERA in 16 appearances since Aug. 14.
9/20/2016 | Phillies hang on to knock off White Sox
Phillies center fielder Odubel Herrera might want to extend the season a little longer. Herrera has been one of the hottest hitters on the planet for the past week, and his torrid hitting continued in Tuesday night's 7-6 victory over the White Sox at Citizens Bank Park. He went 3-for-4 with one home run, three RBIs, three runs scored and two stolen bases. He is hitting .536 (15-for-28) with four doubles, two home runs, six RBIs and four stolen bases in his last seven games.
9/20/2016 | Herrera motivated to finish his season strong
It has been a long summer for Phillies center fielder Odubel Herrera. But with just 11 games remaining in the 2016 season he is as hot as anybody in baseball. He went 3-for-4 with one home run, three RBIs, three runs scored and two stolen bases in Tuesday night's 7-6 victory over the White Sox at Citizens Bank Park.
9/20/2016 | Owens award-winners honored by Phillies
Dylan Cozens, Rhys Hoskins and Ben Lively hope the next time they are wearing suits at Citizens Bank Park they are leaving for a road trip with the Phillies. It could happen as early as next season, but Tuesday night they were at the ballpark to receive their Paul Owens Awards as the organization's best Minor League players and pitcher.
9/20/2016 | Howard could return to lineup on Thursday
Ryan Howard could be back in the Phillies' lineup as early as Thursday in New York.

"Whatever course you decide upon, there is always someone to tell you that you are wrong. There are always difficulties arising which tempt you to believe that your critics are right. To map out a course of action and follow it to an end requires courage."

Hi..DH and I have an appointment at the end of June with a fertility specialist. I had a tubal ligation 7 years ago, and IVF would be a better option than the reversal...We are so excited, yet have so many questions, and would like to know a little more about the process before we have our consult.. I have learned so much already through this site! Thank you so much!!
Looking for someone who has been through IVF to walk me through the process...
Comments (8)
I am just finishing my first cycle of IVF (in the two week wait).
Things I have learned:
- You get over the fear of the shots rather quickly. Once its daily, its really no big deal.
- So many appointments are annoying but timing really is everything.
-Definitely ask for the embryo picture on your way out. Its fun to keep for a hopeful baby book.
- There wasn't too much pain for me until the day after the egg retrieval. A couple of days of pain and now its getting better.
- Don't get hung up on the number of eggs. Its quality, not quantity that counts.
- Try to get ICSI even if you have no male factor.
Let me know what other questions you have~!
"Sometimes someone says something really small and it just fits into this empty place in your heart"
Thank you for your kind post...It helps so much! Wishing you the best on your IVF!
Also adding to the list... Don't google too much you can get really mixed info- but at the same time ask as many questions as you have because knowledge is power!
TTC #1 - 1st IVF (1 embie) round/blighted ovum at 7wks 2/25/12 ...2 snowbabies waiting!! Preparing for 2nd round of IVF in JUNE!
Day 2-4 FSH level (follicle stimulation hormone); gives idea of how many eggs are in ur reserve. Plus Estradiol levels.
Day 21 progesterone (to make sure your ovulating).
They may also do a vaginal ultrasound scan on day 2-4 (also known as dildocam!) to check your ovaries and uterus, as well as count ur antral follicles (potential eggs). This also gives them idea of ur ovarian reserve.
AMH - antimullerian hormone; supposedly a better a way to determine how many eggs u have left compared to fsh since it's not suppose to change as much during the cycle. (RE do this test).
You may not have to Hystosalpingram, squirting dye thru ur uterus to see that ur fallopian tubes are open.
HIV, Hep b and c tests for you and your partner are standard before ivf.
Men will have to do a semen analysis most clinics want 2 tests as sperm quality can change.
There is also a lot of paperwork that you need to do before starting an official ivf cycle.
I guess there are two main protocols:
Long Protocol.
Some clinics give you the contraceptive pill to take the month before. Then start a down-regulation drug. This basically switches off your hormones and puts you in a menopausal state. Therefore the side effects are the same as the menopause. Not all ladies get side effects and it is still working even if it does not feel like it. Make sure you drink plenty of water as this can help if you are getting headaches etc.
Once you've bled you will go back to the clinic for a down regulation scan, another meeting with the dildocam! They are looking to see that your lining is nice and thin and your ovaries are shut down.
Once you've had the DR or baseline scan you will be told when to start stimulation drugs (which contain either FSH or LH or both). This is to stimulate your ovaries and get your follicles growing to produce lots of lovely eggs. The amount of time on stimms varies from person to person but on average 10-14 days. During this time you will have a number of scans to make sure you are responding to the drugs. The clinic may increase or decrease the dose of stimm drugs according to the result of the scan. Sometimes also blood tests to track estradiol levels, and then LH levels close to ovulation/egg retrieval.
Once the clinic are happy that you have a lovely amount of right sized follicles they will book you in for egg collection(EC)/egg retrieval(ER).
You will be given a time to take the trigger shot (which is composed of HCG, which causes ur LH to surge inducing full maturation of ur follicles) this needs to be done at the exact time they tell you.
EC is can be done under sedation or local; with sedation I didn't remember a thing! Your partner will need to go with you as he will need to produce his sample that morning. Also you will be unable to drive for 24 hours following the sedation.
The thought of EC is really scary, its not as bad as you think. You may experience a little bit of cramping and be uncomfortable for a few days after. You should find out how many eggs were retrieved before you go home.
The call! This must be one of the most anticipated phone calls ever! The clinic will call you the day following to let you know how many eggs have fertilized.
Embryo Transfer (ET) can be 2,3 or 5 days after EC. Then its the dreaded 2 weeks wait with the lovely progesterone suppositories.
Short Protocol
The short protocol is slightly different it tends to be used for ladies who are poor responders to the drugs or for ladies who are likely to over respond and suffer from OHSS. It runs along side your natural cycle. So no down regging.
You usually go for a scan on day 2-3 of your cycle and then start stimms. On about day 6 you add in another drug such as cetrotide which stops you from ovulating on your own. You will have regular dates with dildocam and then the trigger shot and EC, ET the same as long protocol. The good thing about the short protocol is that it is quick its about 4 weeks.
During stimulation phase it's very important to get enough water ~ at least 2 liters a day, also lots of protein (aim for 65mg a day) to feed those growing follies/eggs, fruits/veggies, keep tummy warm-not scalding hot (helps blood flow to ovaries hopefully making the follies grow). Get lots of sleep - regular sleep keeps hormones regulated and thus hopefully get good eggs. Take a prenatal vitamin, and can read about other vitamins that have tauted to help make good eggs. Call the clinic if you are unsure of anything.
I agree with Sabs other points except i'd like to respectfully disagree with doing icsi on everybody. I believe in survival of the fittest, and although embryologist think a sperm looks good by size, shape and motility, it might not be as good as they think. Plus puncturing an egg sometimes doesn't sit well with eggs.
Good luck sweetie on ur journey!
On top of everything the other ladies said, pick up a copy of The Couple's Guide to IVF- it was really helpful for me to have a nice baseline before my RE's office bombarded me with hormone levels and protocols. Good luck!
Well said everyone... I just finished my first round of IVF and it really was not that bad. I was so overwhlemed with the bag of drugs and needles, but you take it one step at a time and it really is not bad at all. What's even better is that after 3 years of trying I can officially say I am pregnant! :-) I have gotten 3 betas (blood tests to measure the HGC levels) and so far so good! I go in next week for my first sonogram!
One other piece of advice... try not to be stressed or worry too much.
Good luck to you and your DH. It is a facinating processes.
Talk with doc. Start meds. first belly shots 1....then 2....then big shot in butt. Then many shots in butt. Not hard to follow, mix, or do. Lots of doc apt's. Check when eggs are ready then get those eggs out. come back later & put 'em in. Not so hard
I went in after trying everything else for about a year before doing IVF. But your already there. My 1st apt to talk about IVF was in Sep. They put my on birth control & I started drugs not long after. I did 1egg on day 5 Nov 23rd & it took ( due aug 14th ). I wasn't quite prepared to move that fast mentally. Having to do IVF was a hard defeat for me. Emotionally it was hard. Reach out for that kind of help if you need it too. My hospital offered support groups for free.
Google was my BFF. I agree don't look up everything that can go wrong but it helped me learn the process & what things meant. I looked up all my meds too. Don't look up rates of birth defects, or unsucessfull stories, or what could go wrong. It will just freak you out even after you get prego. My doc explained why this was that & etc. Google doesn't. So ask your doc if your concered about something. I was concered about not having natural selection.
I agree the shots were not as bad as I thought they would be. The progesterone after they implant you can hurt. I had my man rub the area really good b4 & after then used a heating pad for a few min, it helped prevent my butt from gettting sore.
don't freak out about everything. When I got my HCG shot it bled pretty bad for a min & me & my husband freaked out thinking we did something wrong. we didn't. it was fine.
I thought the egg retreval was the worst part. My doc would only do local. But I have a history of pain meds not working well on me.
We did ICSI 'cause the sperm was the problem but my doc gave me the option of 1/2 & 1/2 also. So your plan will change depending on what happens. I needed to be prepared with what to do depending on my egg count etc. I ended up doing 100% ICSI. Know your options, what things mean, make a list of what to ask the doc, & ask the doc lots of questions. Your paying an ass load of money so take charge! They called me on day 3 & said I had "X" amount of eggs still alive & I had to make the call to do day 3 or day 5 transfer. I did the research on both b4 hand & decided to do day 5 which is what my doc recommended too. I had to make that call then in the car on my phone. But being prepared I had #'s in my head on if they said I had this many i would do day 3 or this many i would do day 5 etc. On day 3 I had 7 viable eggs. On day 5 I had 3. So it's good to know what's coming & prepare for the decisions you have to make & weight your options.
also check the place your getting it done on the CDC web site. Every place that does IVF has to log the results of everything. Then you can look at which place has better % of live births, pos test, & multiples. My friend recommened a place but when I looked it up they just put 6 eggs in every woman ( not a good sign of a good place...hello octomom ) & had terrible % of live births ( since then I'v heard a lot of bad things about that office ). The place I went never put in more than 2 & often did 1 egg & they had a much higher % of live births. There % actually went up a lot from the year b4 & I asked my doc why. I was happy with their answer. He explained to me also why some places had lower rates than others & what was important behind the scenes. So know the place. It's just as important. I'm suprised people don't look into that more. I had several options around my area though.
Good luck! My SIL had her tubes tied as well & had a healthy baby girl at age 38 with IVF. I am due with my 1st aug. 14th & so far so good. I found it helpfull to hear sucess stories but know it can be a long journey too.
In my world everyone's a pony & they eat rainbows & poop butterflies

Quinoa (pronounced Keen-Wa) is a spectacularly impressive grain. For such a tiny little guy, he's packed with nutrients, and it's even been said that you can survive on nothing but quinoa, although I wouldn't recommend trying it. Quinoa is not only a complete protein, it is also packed with iron, copper, zinc, magnesium, folate, lysine, and other essential amino acids. Along with a dose of fiber and zero saturated fat, quinoa is an incredible addition to any diet.
So, now that you are completely on board with a heaping spoonful of quinoa, how can you cook it without making a bowl of mush? I'm so glad you asked.
There are a few basic steps to make fluffy quinoa that, in most cases, are inexplicably left off the package directions.
For this lesson in quinoa cookery, I am making 2 cups. Quite a large amount, but in the interest of saving time throughout the week, I like to make a large batch on Sundays and have it ready to go for the next 3-5 days.
First, don't forget to rinse your quinoa. Think of this like remembering to wash your hands before eating, you really have no idea what could be on those little grains.
Put 2 cups of quinoa in a bowl that will hold at least 6 cups.
Cover the quinoa with cold water, rinsing it thoroughly.
Then drain through a fine mesh strainer.
Allow to drain and dry for 20 minutes to remove all the water. Skipping this step will lead to mushy grains.
Once your quinoa has dried, toast in a dry pan until you can smell the nutty flavor that has now been brought out in your quinoa, about 5 minutes. This also removes any additional water that may have been left behind by the rinse.
Remove the quinoa from the pan, set aside.
Cooking quinoa with the same liquid to grain ratio as rice (1 cup grain, 2 cups water) is the biggest culprit in the battle for fluffy quinoa. It's just too much water, and will leave you with mush. Cook instead with a 1 part grain to 1.5 parts liquid ratio. For the purposes of this post, that would be 2 cups quinoa to 3 cups liquid.
As for the liquid, you can use broth, vegetable juice, water, or any combination of those to achieve to taste you want. I use at least half broth most often, but for the sake of simplicity, I used water for this post.
Bring 3 cups of water/broth to a rapid boil in sauce pan.
Then add your toasted quinoa and cover the lid with a slight vent, allowing the steam to escape.
Reduce your heat to medium-low, and maintain a strong simmer.
Cook for 16 minutes or until all of the water is gone. Remove from heat and remove the lid.
Allow to cool and rest for ten minutes and then fluff with a fork.
So what can you do with that nice fluffy quinoa you just made? You can make yourself a nice bowl of quinoa tabbouleh!
