Mary Spencer's plan for world domination is all mapped out.
Spencer is one of Canada's top prospects for the 2012 London Olympics. She's fresh off winning her third world women's boxing title, a victory made all the more impressive by the fact the Windsor native moved up in weight class from 66 to 75 kilos. She dispatched the reigning champion from China 14-2 in the final.
But rather than go out and celebrate that night, the 25-year-old woke up early the next morning to go for a run around the hotel complex where the athletes were staying.
"I wanted my opponents to see that — and some of them did, some of them were walking to and from the beach and they saw that," said Spencer. "My whole reasoning for that is I want them when they get in the ring with me to be okay with losing to me, to be okay with giving up when they should be pushing harder. I want them to think I'm supposed to win.
"How do I win three world championships and wake up in the morning and jog when they're staying out all night and having fun? You're supposed to lose to somebody like that. I want to put it in their head 'There's no way you can beat me. Look how I'm training. Look how focused I am. Look how bad I want to win.' If I put that into your head and show you that, you're going to be okay with losing to me."
It's working so far. Her vanquished Chinese opponent, Jinzi Li, praised her Spencer's skills afterwards and said there was no shame in losing to the Canadian.
"I can only work harder on my skills," said Li.
That's okay, because that's exactly what Spencer will be doing. She has been anxious to get back into the ring because she feels she has some things to work on after the worlds, but her longtime coach Charlie Stewart of the Windsor Amateur Boxing Club has put the brakes on to give her a rest.
It's her drive that should serve her well on the road to London as she believes it's important she continue growing as a boxer and athlete.
"In the ring, what my opponents see about me changes every time they watch me fight," she said. "That I think is huge for me. The rest of the world, they're going to be training to beat the Mary Spencer that they saw in Barbados and they can go ahead and train to beat that boxer.
"But the next time I see them, I'm going to be a completely different fighter. That's why I think I have the one up on everybody is because I can change and adapt so quickly, I can learn new things and be effective in a different style. Eventually I want to go to the Olympics and be able to fight any way I need to fight and that's going to make me unbeatable."
This is all delivered by Spencer without a hint of cockiness in her voice during a telephone interview. She's refreshing, an athlete who believes in herself and is willing to make the sacrifices, big and small.
At the worlds in Barbados, she never ventured to the beach, but was pleased to learn her semi-final opponent spent some time walking around there the morning of their bout.
"I'm like 'Good. I hope she stays there,' " said Spencer. "It was just so hot. It was draining to be outdoors. If it was a distraction, good. But it wasn't one for me. She wasn't swimming or tanning or anything. But still."
As for resting on her laurels, fat chance of that. Even her latest world title, which followed on the heels of winning at the Pan Am Boxing Championships, didn't bring much satisfaction.
"At this point, it doesn't really mean a whole lot becausever since they told us we'd be in the Olympics, that's what I've had my mind set on," said Spencer. "This to me is just a stepping stone towards the ultimate goal. ... This is just part of the journey. I'm not as excited about this one as I have been in the past for the other ones."
Spencer started boxing eight years ago, following a friend who took up the sport to lose weight into the gym. Already a good all-round athlete, she'd found her calling in the ring.
"I just felt like the sport was made for me the very first day," she said. "It was designed for me. Not even that I was made for boxing; I felt like boxing was made for me the very first day. I thought I could be good at it and it would be a lot of fun."
She has formed quite an alliance with Stewart, a veteran and savvy coach whom she refers to as a "mastermind" and a "brilliant strategist." Stewart makes it clear it's a mutual admiration society.
"I had boxers on the Olympic team the last three times, but I've never seen anyone work as hard as she has to accomplish something," said Stewart. "When I see somebody who wants to work that hard, I'll spend as much time as they want. She keeps me pretty busy."
Since women's boxing was added to the roster for the 2012 Summer Games, many countries have started pouring more resources into the sport, including the host English with $3 million.
"I don't know if other countries are doing the same thing, but it's still going to come down to who's been working the hardest, not who has the most money," said Spencer.
The Canadian team hasn't seen much of a difference in funding, although Spencer is being helped by Own The Podium. She's sharing the wealth, too, as the massage therapist she brought to Barbados worked on her teammates as well.
Spencer is a psychology student at the University of Windsor. She switched from economics when she realized the psychology studies would help her with her boxing and in the future career she hopes to have working in sport.
She certainly has an impressive mindset about the challenges ahead, not worrying a bit that her results to date will put extra pressure on her as a gold medal contender for London.
"I don't feel pressure at all, because I told myself I was going to do it a long time ago," said Spencer. "The fact that other people think now I'm going to do it, that's support, not pressure."

Voice actor David Ian Davies captures the petrifying nuances of American horror master Edgar Allan Poe's classic short story "The Tell-Tale Heart". He interprets the chilling prose with fervor, bringing the monstrous character to life. The first-person narrator, a murderer, rants and raves about how he killed an old man for no other reason than distaste for a pale blue eye. He works hard to conceal his deed - dismembering and concealing the corpse - but his clever measures are no match for his guilt.

The average dog is a nicer person than the average person
-Andy Rooney-
I notice with all the oggling going on that CarrieAnn didn't even point out the most obvious lift in Jacoby and Karina's performance. She is the self-appointed 'lift police', but only when it suits her fancy.
Regarding Mark...I much prefer him with hair, than without. If anything, it gives him a litte more height! I've been trying to figure out when my dislike for him began, so I looked at his history. His first season he had Sabrina, and although "the most shocking elimination ever", they were good partners. Next up was Kristi Yamagugi and they won and I thought they deserved it and Mark wasn't bugging me yet. After that he had Kim Kardashian and went out 11th, so not a whole lot of time to dislike him. However this was Mark's first partner that wasn't very good and very tentative and I think this is when he started overdancing to make up for it. Shawn Johnson was up next and she started out slow and he was trying to make up for that as well. After that, he had Melissa Joan Hart, Shannen Doherty, and then Bristol- none of which were stellar, to say the least. Somewhere in there (probably beginning with Shawn) is where the Spats and King of the OverDance came out and I started being irked by him.
Even though I think Derek is a great dancer and wonderful choreographer, I have to wonder if the other pros get a little irritated that he's never gotten a dud. I often wonder if it's written into his contract that he will at least get a contender or he won't participate.
I'm sure it's not, but it sure seems that way.
As much as I love Dorothy (I had the haircut all through grade school!), I do wish Tristan would get someone young and fun. I mean, Nancy Grace, Gladys Knight, Pam Anderson, and now Dorothy. The poor guy is only 30 and hasn't danced with anyone younger than 45 yet. I'd like to see what he can really do.

I'm surprised Lisa felt uncomfortable pressing herself against Gleb while they were dancing. I would have no trouble at all making body contact with him. Rowr rowr!!!
I was disappointed that Dorothy didn't do better. Being a former athlete, I expected much more from her. She's older than the other contestants but not ancient so I thought I would be more impressed by her.
I don't know if Jacoby made the right decision to compete this season. He's just getting over an injury and we've seen season after season how many stars end up with injuries from the pressure of the competition. If he's already going into this recovering from an injury, I'm afraid he's more likely to hurt himself again.
I didn't like Kellie on American Idol but I have to admit she did great dancing. I thought she was underscored compared to the other stars. One of the hazards of dancing first and the judges not knowing how the rest of the stars will do.
I also don't like Andy Dick but he seems sincere about giving his best effort in the competition and he started off well. I was afraid he'd be another Carson Cressly and would just want to use the competition to goof off.
D.L. was painful to watch. He was so far off, even Cheryl couldn't make him look good. He has a lot of work to do and many practice hours ahead if he manages to escape the first elimination.
Yearbook Title, Spring 2016: Consummate Overachiever Whos Most Likely Reminiscing About The Florida Keys

I forgot to put this on my DVR. I caught it from Wynona to the end. She makes my skin crawl and I really dont know much about her other than she and her mother process their relationship endlessly. That is really enough right there but still, I am not totally sure why. I have a visceral reaction when I see her.
I would like them to show a leader board at the end of the show to see where everyone stands. Saying who is on the top and who on the bottom is not enough for me.
pika . . .
Great post!
The one thing I kind of have a different take on is Carson. I really don't think he come on to goof off. The way I perceived him is that he tried, but frankly, he --- and WE --- knew that he pretty much basically had a kind of robotic way of moving that was NEVER going to get him to F1. In other words (and no disrespect to anyone is intended): White boy could NOT dance well. Lord knows, he tried. He worked hard wanted to do well for himself, Anna and the fans in and out of the ballroom, I think. Wasn't going to happen, so he tried hard, and segued into being as entertaining as he possibly could when he danced. Plus, even though he knew he was no Gene Kelly, he was always so happy to be on the show in the first place, he just glowed, regardless of whether or not he tanked on the dance floor.
Penn Jillette struck me the almost the same exact way. Penn was a big bull in a china shop who pretty much stomped his way through for the time he was on. But it was SO clear that HE was clear that dancing (unlike magic) was NOT his forte, so he just tried to dance and give as much as he could, have fun with it, and be entertaining. You just KNEW he wasn't going anywhere significant with his dancing, but he was always so jolly and gracious, it was a pleasure to see him "dance" and have him on the show.
When both of them were on, I liked both of them immensely because they were so cool about being uncool as dancers. And I wound up laughing WITH them and having fun when they were on because they didn't and couldn't take themselves seriously as even neophyte dancers (Penn a little bit more than Carson, perhaps).
But they COULD make us smile and enjoy them when they performed.
And I DID!
Just an observation!

People with their feet stuck in the mud in the bottom of the river: DL, Sean, and Wy. The Disney girl was amazingly mature in her moves; really liked her. Pickler surprised me and looked good doing it. Vanderpump even did much better than I ever expected; the pocket rat......yuck!
We should see massive improvements as the season goes on. Everybody always seems to be looking for perfection on the first night. I think that lack of perfection at least gives the show somewhere to go.

India can make world's cheapest nuclear reactors, Department of Atomic Energy chief saysMUMBAI: Now, India can build cheaper nuclear reactors, than even South Korea. Talking to TOI on the eve of his retirement, Dr Srikumar Banerjee, secretary in the Department of Atomic Energy (DAE), said India can now manufacture nuclear reactors at $1,700 per unit. Come May, Banerjee will make way for Ratan Sinha, currently director of Bhabha Atomic Research Centre (BARC), who will take over as secretary, DAE.
"We are now the world's most economical manufacturer of nuclear reactors. Our cost per unit, of $1,700 (for a 700mw reactor) is substantially less than our nearest competitors. The average international cost is now between $2,500 and $3,000 (for a 1,000mw reactor). South Korea demonstrated its ability to build nuclear reactors for less when it wrested a massive reactor deal for the UAE from French giant, Areva, a couple of years ago.

Some patients will develop more severe periodontal disease that must be treated. The first step usually involves a special cleaning called scaling and root planing, which removes plaque and tartar deposits on the tooth and root surfaces. The scaling and root planing helps gum tissues heal and reattach to the tooth. This is sometimes called a periodontal cleaning or deep cleaning, and may take more than one visit.
Your dentist may also recommend medicines to help control infection and pain, or to aid healing. These medicines could include a pill, mouthrinse, or substance that the dentist places directly in the periodontal pocket after scaling and root planing. Once your periodontal treatment is completed, your dentist may recommend more frequent checkups. Regular dental visits and deep cleanings are important to keeping gum disease under control. Good oral hygiene at home is also important to keeping periodontal disease from becoming more serious or from coming back.
You don't have to lose teeth to periodontal disease. Brush, clean between your teeth, eat a balanced diet and schedule regular dental visits for a lifetime of healthy smiles.

Fred Durst: New record is sizzling
Fred Durst says Limp Bizkit's new album has "something sizzling about it".
The star is the lead singer of the group, who have signed to rapper Lil Wayne's label Cash Money Records. They are working on a release called Stampede of the Disco Elephants, which Fred promises will have a wide appeal.
"Stampede has got to have something sizzling about it that's more universally accepted," he told Kerang! magazine.
"Some of the songs have an urban feel. We're writing all different sorts of tracks and it seems like the songs going into that basket are ones that girls can like as much as guys who like rock."
The band signed to the label after considering several other offers. It seemed like the right fit to Fred.
"It was probably a year and a half ago that we knew that we needed to get off this particular ship [then-label Interscope], which seemed to be lost," he said.
"There were some really cool people coming to the plate who were really excited about the brand Limp Bizkit, which seemed the wrong mentality. And when I met Cash Money guys, there was a different dialogue there."
The band is also recording an EP and Fred is enjoying having the freedom to expand his horizons.
"This is some crazy Limp Bizkit sh*t," he said.
"We're working on a follow-up EP to [2005's] The Unquestionable Truth Part 1, alongside [the] album. It's like the leash has been taken off us and we've been given full rein to do as we please."
Wes Borland, Sam Rivers, John Otto and DJ Lethal join Fred in the group.

Chitrangada Singh is mysterious, attractive: Sudhir Mishra
Bollywood director Sudhir Mishra said he writes roles of 'mysterious women who will never totally belong to you', and added that Chitrangada Singh personified that for him. Mishra launched Chitrangada Singh in the industry with Hazaaron Khwahishein Aisi.entertainment Updated: Jan 05, 2013 14:24 IST
Bollywood director Sudhir Mishra launched Chitrangada Singh in the industry with his off-beat movie Hazaaron Khwahishein Aisi in 2003.
The Inkaar director further told the daily, "She is quite strong-willed and has said no to me for a role. For me, she is an actor and as an actor I find her interesting. I like the fact that she is somewhere else and she comes and works well with me."
Talking to a daily, Sudhir Mishra said, "The roles of women I write are slightly mysterious and they are women who will never totally belong to you and are yet feminine and attractive. Chitrangda Singh personifies that for me and I don't have to convince her as she just comes and plays it."
Chitrangada Singh has also worked in Mishra's Yeh Saali Zindagi opposite Irrfan Khan. Her upcoming film Inkaar is also directed by Sudhir Mishra.
Chitangada Singh's limits: I know where to say no
Actress Chitrangada Singh, who features in Inkaar, a movie which deals with sexual harassment at the workplace, says she knows where to draw the line when it comes to doing bold scenes. "As long as I am comfortable with my director and the co-stars, I am open to doing the bold scenes. But I do have my own limits and I know where to say no," Chitrangada told IANS. CHITRANGADA TALKS
Sudhir gave me life as an actor: Chitrangada Singh
Actress Chitrangada Singh says she is thankful to filmmaker Sudhir Mishra for giving her life as an actor. She was first cast in Mishra's 2003 film Hazaaron Khwaishein Aisi, and is often called as his muse.
"Sudhir gave me a life as an actor. I owe him so much. Sudhir is a qualified man. He is a psychologist and he has a degree in that. So he understands different persons, and the way he directs his actors is outstanding," Chitrangada Singh said. FULL STORY

HEMET ---- When a single opposing player accounts for almost as much yardage as your entire team, you know it probably wasn't your night.
That was the case for Hemet Friday, as Moreno Valley Valley View ran past the Bulldogs, 31-7, in a nonleague football game.
Mitchell Kapesi rushed 27 times for 226 yards and three touchdowns for the Eagles (2-2) while Hemet as a team had 243 yards, most coming on a long touchdown pass and the final drive of the game.
"They're a good ball club. He always has a great defense," Hemet coach Jeff Reitz said of Valley View's Jack Fogarty, who earned his 150th victory as a high school coach in the contest.
"I played against him my junior year, his first year, and he had a great defense."
Hemet (1-3) had just eight first downs in the game, three on the final drive.
"My kids are young, and they're getting it," Reitz. "We're within a yard on four drives in the first half. We complete one or two of those drives, all of a sudden, we're in the ball game."
While the Bulldogs couldn't sustain a drive, the Eagles pounded the line with Kapesi, Keyshawn Day, who rushed for 63 yards, and Tevin Thompson, who gained 61.
"It was a really tough game," Kapesi said. "Hemet came out strong. I give props to the (offensive) line, if it wasn't for the O-line, I wouldn't have been getting all those yards and all those touchdowns."
Reitz said his team needed to hit the 6 foot, 240 pound Kapesi more.
"When you've got stnkin' Jim Brown, you don't hit him up high," Reitz said. "That's guy's a stinkin' stud."
Valley View gained 425 yards rushing and another 82 through the air, having the ball for 76 plays to 40 for Hemet.
Hemet's lone score came on an 80-yard pass from Alex Denbaugh to Matt Parker, which tied the game at 7-7 midway through the first quarter.
The Bulldogs then went seven drives without crossing their own 37-yard-line.
The score never got out of hand, as the Bulldogs held Valley View to just one touchdown in the second half, stopping the Eagles on a fumble, missed field goal and on downs.
Despite the rocky start, Reitz will not give up on his players.
"I love my kids and we're going to fight all year long," he said. "It hurts so bad to lose. I've coached for 30 years and by the grace of God, I'm going to coach another 20, I love it. I just feel bad for these kids. I want them to experience success. We've just got to get better for league."

Grand Theft Auto 2
Review by XtremeGundamX
"Still'em and Kill'em!!!"
It's almost the exact same thing as the Dreamcast version besides the graphics and some new weapons. It's a game that needs some improvements. It's a fun game to play and to mess around with but is still missing some thing. The sounds and music is very detailed. The graphics need some work. The game is very fun to steal other cars but this game needs more to it. There are enough missions to mess around with and some of them are very complicated but others can get pretty easy pretty easy. The city is pretty detailed with all of the places to go and find it will keep you very busy. One of the other things that I don't like about this game is the save feature on it. You have to find the specific area in each part of town and finding them can sometimes seem almost impossible to find them. You can spend forever and not find them but other times it's really easy to find them. I guess this game all depends on what kind of person you are and if it appeals to you. For one person this could be a great game to have some major fun but others may think it's a poor excuse for a game, but I like it.
Pretty simple except you have to press a button to go backward or forward and move the d-pad in the direction you want to go. This type of control can get very tricky to learn and can take forever to learn and when your running from cops this is mostly what gets you caught. Everything is pretty simple once you learn it and the controlling of the cars is very easy to and sort of sensitive at times while taking corners. All of the buttons assigned to other parts of the game are put on the playstation's controller well. The gameplay is basically simple once you learn it. A dual shock controller is a must for this game and makes it a lot more manageable.
The sounds and music in this game are detailed and sound very good. The music that was chosen goes with the game. There are all of the sounds in the game plus many more but here are a few- police sirens, gunshots, people yelling, and etc. But most of the people's voices and the screams are all repeats and are the exact same like all the time. All of the sounds and music are good choices for the game that actual go with the game. The music goes really good and sets the mood in the game and pulls you into the game.
The graphics in this game are pretty good. It has just a few errors. Your person you play as looks like a blob and totally lacks in detail you can barely make out that he is a person. There is only one city you get to play in but it is very large and shows a great deal of detail. The cars are detailed very well and are designed to look great the look really nice and also have some neat designs on them. It's just that this game needs another city to go to but with the size of it one city isn't too bad to play in. The city is very large and is filled with people but it needs a little more detail like any other city would have with things like fire hydrants or telephone booths more often to make the game more exciting.
This game should take some time to beat and trying to find every thing in the city should take some time. But the game may get boring before then. There's enough missions too keep you busy and exploring the entire town will take some time. Messing around with the guns and everything there is too collect it should keep you busy but it gets boring pretty fast.
At times the game may seem really easy but hey there's quite a few hard missions too complete. While playing this game you just don't have to watch out for cops but also other gang members from other parts of the very large city. There's enough things too watch out for in this game and it can get really challenging at times especially when your running from cops and your in the part of town with the gang that is your greatest rival.
I suggest you rent this title first. It may not be what you think. This game needs some work but it's still not a bad game to try. It's a 7 point overall title. But if you find it cheap like all the other Playstation games I don't think this game would be a total disappointment.

I have to give credit where credit is due. The guys who work production on that boat are literally the best in the world. You have Chris Sorlie, guru of guru's at the helm, Kit Blanchard, stage manager for Phish, Kenny from Avatar Events Group who, besides being the nicest guy ever, really knows his shit when it comes to gear, and he always brings his best and brightest Chip Smith and Lance Eubanks. I have also had the pleasure of meeting a lot of great lighting guys as well. You really form a special bond with these folks because you really all have to work together to make this event happen. Other events are very departmentalized and this boat is far and away the exception to that.
Hidden Track: How much of the cruise did you work and how much of it were you off and able to enjoy the music/environs?
Wyllys: Well, I guess I have to repeat what Chris Sorlie said at our first production meeting. He said: "Boys, you've been chosen for this job because you've been deemed to be able to work with a beer in your hand. We expect you to do so. However, always remain in control and always be on your toes. This is supposed to be fun. So have it, just don't neglect what you are really here to do."
For the most part we all played by that rule. But that first act seems to hit very early in the morning, which is everyone else's afternoon. I was always doing lighting on the boat, so I wouldn't really have to surface till about 3PM each day so I never had a "play through" situation. However, there are some legendary instances of production folks playing through and each of us having to step up a little extra to cover for them. It's all good. It's Jam Cruise.

Hidden Track: What were some of your favorite moments from the Jam Cruise you worked?
Wyllys: Far and away doing lights for Umphrey's on the main stage of the pool deck. The weather was amazing. It was really this epic experience. I have to use that word because I really don't know how else to describe it. The band kicks into Mulche's Odyssey and the boat is really swelling with the waves and I look to my right and all I see is open ocean. I look to my left and the main deck is losing their shit. I had been working freelance for the guys for a while so I was pretty good at reading their faces and you could tell they were totally gettting off on the fact the boat was bobbing in time to the opening section of this raging tune so they kept it going longer than usual. I put on a walk with the moving lights, killed the front lighting and took a step back from the board to take it all in. Pirate music on the high seas. I will NEVER forget that moment.
Hidden Track: What genres will you be pulling from for your Jam Cruise set(s)?
Wyllys: Aha. The roadie becomes the artist. [maniacal laughter] Well Scotty, before I play at all I'm going to make sure I greet all my past working buddies with a cocktail in my hand and flip flops on and have a laugh at their expense. They would do the same to me if they were in my, er, flip flops.
I haven't really spoken to [JC cruise director] Annabel about my sets yet but I would love to do a house set late night in the disco one night, a yacht rock set at the pool one day, and of course, an ambient set with my good friend Brock Butler on the acoustic deck one sunrise. We'll see though. There's a lot of great talent on that boat so I may not get to play as much as I like. It's an honor just to be invited really.
Hidden Track: Are there any artists on this year's cruise that you are especially looking forward to interacting with?
Wyllys: Well, Brock Butler of course. We go on tour this week together and are going to rehearse a bunch of material to try out on the high seas. Joel Cummins, the Cum Dog is going to be on the boat and I'd love to have him sit in with me. Lotus and the New Mastersounds would be very fun to put a House jam together with. In the "always wanted to" category would have to go to Col. Bruce. That would be super weird and awesome.
Hidden Track: Can you tell us a little bit about AMBIENt, your project with Brock Butler?
Wyllys: Isn't it time we all just chilled the fuck out? Seriously. I have always loved ambient music since I started collecting vinyl in 1996. Brian Eno is more of a life coach to me than a musical influence. I have been developing my ambient sets for over 10 years and never get to play them for anyone because I'm always put in the disco setting. Dubstep is what really pushed me to want to play ambient music live, its my own personal revolution to get people to relax, but at the right hour of course.
Brock had been charged with playing music for our dear friend Brad Robinson's memorial service which is a very emotional thing to have to do. What happened was a truly magical experience. The people at the service wanted to know where they could get that style of music he was playing and he just improvised the entire thing. So the next night, he and Patrick Kincaid decided to record these pieces and as they began to start a huge thunderstorm rolled in, so Patrick sticks a microphone out the window and gets the whole thunderstorm on tape and Brock played over it. If you haven't heard Brock's ambient music yet I suggetst you go download it asap.
That's what got Brock and I talking about an ambient project. We hope to do a set on one of the sunrises of the boat. We'll see.
Hidden Track: Just before the boat departs you'll be performing at Sullivan Hall with the New York Hustler Ensemble. How did that band come together?
Wyllys: Well, sometimes you just have to pick up the phone and sell, sell, sell. I have always wanted to play a house set with a full horn section because I have never seen it done. I have been doing lighting for raves since I was 15 and have seen it all. Never had I witnessed anything like that.
My wife, Jennifer Hartswick, was totally into the idea of leading the section and being the main arranger for alll the parts. I chose Peter Afpelfbaum because of his improv skills with Trey Band, and he is just fucking sick anyway. Natalie Cressman was chosen because she also has amazing chops but also sings very well with my wife and I wanted to have girls to sing some lyrics I had written over the beats.
The section needed to be able to write some things ahead of time, but be able to improv at the drop of a hat, because I NEVER play with a setlist. DJs who think that what they meticulously put together in their bedrooms is going to rock a crowd are fools. You should have some mixes you believe in and thats it. The crowd is going to tell you what they want to hear via body language. No amount of planning in the world can get you ready for that. It's going to be a fucking dirty, sweaty, dance party on the night that Phish seems to always give us their best playing as well. Can't wait.
Hidden Track: Will the environment of performing on a boat play into the song choices you make for your set(s)?
Wyllys: HAHAHAHAHAHH. I may drop some Christopher Cross just because of this question.
[Photo by Catherine Ostrofsky]
Hidden Track: Do you have any advice for first time cruisers?
Wyllys: It's a marathon, not a sprint. Ease into it. Get a dramamine bracelet. Buy some duty-free booze as well, because much to everyone's shagrin, the bar DOES close at some point. And some advice for those artists who frequent the Jam Room, MELLOW OUT. It's suppose to be a communal experience, not a pissing contest. Let everyone get their turn down there. Year after year that room seems to become more of a center of conflict that community. Be safe. Have fun. See you on the high seas.

There are clearly some cases where it's the right thing --- for instance, if the inputs are two different domains over the same base type, selecting the base type seems the most reasonable behavior. Also, at least some of the routine's callers seem to be relying on the assumption that the result won't be a domain type. regards, tom lane

Living on Base VS living off Base
A. It depends. In some places, particularly overseas, it may not be safe to live off base. In other places, there simply is not enough base housing available, and you cannot live on base. It requires consent from your Sailor's command to live off base.
Q. What are some benefits of living in base housing?
A. The size of the unit you receive depends on how many dependents the sailor has, and his/her rank. Early in a military career, you would likely live in a larger and nicer place on base than off base if you have a family. All basic utilities are included (free) when you live in base housing. You are surrounded by families who are accustomed to the military lifestyle, and can help a new military spouse adjust to the new life. There is usually a good sense of community in base housing. Often your spouse will work with a few of his / her neighbors, there will be kids in a similar age range nearby, and at one time or another most of the people your live near will have many similar life experiences.
Q. Why would anyone want to live off base?
A. Some people get stationed near where they originally lived and may already own property in the community. In addition, they may have friends and or family living nearby and want to be closer to those people. As with any neighborhood, sometimes base housing can feel too intrusive to the military member and his/her family. Working and living with the same people day in and day out can be trying even in the best of circumstances. Also, the military community as a whole is pretty tightly knit. You and your spouse/family may decide you want to immerse yourselves into the culture of the area you are living in.
LES, BAQ, huh?
One of the biggest steps in any marriage is combining and managing your finances. As a Navy wife, I needed to learn a completely new language just to figure out how much money my husband earned. Here is some of the basic terminology associated with military pay.
LES = Leave and Earnings Statement. Also could be called a pay stub. Shows leave (sick leave, standard leave, etc- also known as vacation and sick time) and earnings.
Base pay = standard pay scale. This figure is pre-determined and computed by rank and years of service.
BAQ = Basic Allowance for (living) Quarters. Money given to personnel who are permitted to live off the military base. This is also pre-determined and computed by rank and years of service.
ComRats = Commuted Rations. Food "allowance" - for Sailors with Dependents and those who are not required to eat meals in the mess hall.
COLA = Cost of Living Adjustment or Allowance. Additional money to compensate for a higher cost of living at a particular duty station. Hawaii, for example, has a bigger COLA than Idaho.

In Pearl Harbor, watching Japanese battleships
The island of Oahu is a living testament to the damage that was inflicted on Pearl Harbor by the Japanese, prior to the US entering WWII. There are abandoned bunkers in the hills and mountains of the island. If you know where to look, or look closely, you can easily see the scarring left in the landscape from the attack on Pearl Harbor. There is the ever present USS Arizona National Memorial and museum.
It was mid June 1997. Jack and I went to the Navy Exchange at Pearl Harbor to pick up some items for his full inspection before shipping out in July. We emerged from the Exchange with our packages and prepared to head back home. We stopped briefly to look at the ships docked in the Harbor.
Directly in front of us, only several hundred yards away was a Japanese Navy ship. Her colors were flying. Hundreds of Japanese sailors in their dress whites poured off the ship for some shore leave. The hairs on the back of my neck stood up, I was chilled to the bone and desperately struggled to get my mind around what I was seeing. Japanese sailors freely disembarked from their ship, and walking around the Leeward side of Oahu and looking for a good time.
How could this be? The Japanese military killed thousands of US military [personnel, and countless innocent Hawaiians only one generation earlier. The answer is simple, but certainly not easy to comprehend. Times have changed and the Japanese are now among the US Allies.
I tried desperately to talk to Jack about this very disturbing scene. He would not even pretend to listen to what I was saying. Several months after he deployed, I had the chance to talk with a female sailor about this very subject. She explained to me that death is part of life in the military. Part of the day-to-day life of being a sailor is the knowledge you might have to lay down your life at any time. I am still, to this day, both baffled and in awe of that conviction. I do not think I could do that.

Mrs. Petty Officer, I presume...part two
It was not until much later that I learned that one cannot do anything related to the military without that ID card. A valid military ID is needed to get on to a secure military base, to do any kind of shopping or activity on base, to go to a military medical facility, to talk to anyone about housing, benefits, school and so it goes.
There are essentially 3 types of military ID cards. The first one is green. It is for active duty military personnel. It is as valid as a passport for travel. The second one is a pink/peach color. That is for dependents. Benefits for dependents vary and are stated on the ID. Yes, that is correct, dependents. Being married to a sailor, I was considered a dependent - more specifically- a dependent wife. I felt weird as an adult woman being called a dependent, especially since I had been raised to be independent. Other people who fall into the dependent category are: children under the age 18 that the service member has a legal obligation to; a parent or grandparent the service member is supporting, a child of any age who has a significant disability and the service member is responsible for and the like. A non-married parent who shares legal obligation for a dependent child is not considered a dependent. For example: My boyfriend is in the military and I get pregnant. I (the not married to the service member pregnant woman) am not considered a dependent, but my unborn child is. I can get pre-natal care for the baby and myself. Once the baby is born s/he gets a dependent ID card, but the not married mother never gets a military ID card. The third common type of military ID is blue. That is for retired military personnel, or disabled and honorably discharged service members.

Mrs. Petty Officer, I presume...
After a simple civil ceremony, we each signed a piece of paper, (our marriage license) and it was official. Shortly thereafter, we boarded a plane and headed for California to start our life together as husband and wife.
We drove from the airport to our new home, the spacious apartment he shared with one of his co-workers off base. I spent about an hour puttering around my new place, looking in the cupboards, figuring out where to put my clothes and getting a feel for the place. My new husband, Jack, and I got back in the car to take care of business... military business.
Our first challenge was getting on base. Jack, of course, had his Military ID, and showed it to the guard at the gate. The guard raised an eyebrow at me, wanting to see my ID, too. I dug in my purse and pulled out my Texas driver's license. This was not what he wanted to see. We had to pull the car into the security area and get a pass so Jack could bring me on the Base. I was beginning to feel like a stranger in a strange land.
Properly permitted, we went into the medical clinic where Jack worked as a corpsman (more on this at a later date). We went on a whirlwind tour of the place, where I was introduced to his Commanding Officer (CO), the Chaplain, several of his coworkers, and several ranking Officers in the clinic. I did not know or realize it at the time, but he had to get permission to marry me from his CO, and he had spoken to the Chaplain at length about our marriage. I thought he was introducing me to these people for my benefit (which of course, it was), but he was really introducing me to his Command as part of his duty as a sailor.
Next, we headed off to a Personnel office. We filled out a stack of paperwork and gave the clerk a copy of our marriage license. It was a Federal holiday, Martin Luther King, Jr. Day, so they were not able to issue me an ID card. The clerk apologized profusely, which I found puzzling. I smiled and waved, and said I'd be back another day to get my ID. The next stop was the Commissary - also known as the grocery store in the Civilian world. Jack, the bachelor, did not have a lot of stuff in his kitchen and we both knew we would have to do some serious grocery shopping if I was ever going to make him dinner. It was a strange place, indeed. I had never seen 30 varieties of rice at my local Albertsons in Houston.
We did a pretty good job of filling our grocery cart and headed for the checkout lanes. Jack had his ID in hand. The cashier asked to see my ID. She had not even started ringing us up yet. She and I both looked at him and started firing off questions. He made at "time out" sign with his hands and we both stopped. Jack told the clerk we had just gotten married and they could not issue me an ID card because it was a Federal holiday. She looked at him and me and him. I was all giddy and giggly... we showed our brand new shiny matching wedding bands. She reluctantly went ahead and rang up our order, which Jack paid for with his debit card. I was beside myself with confusion.
As we were wheeling our groceries to the car I was asking questions a mile a minute. Why did he have to show his ID if he was not writing a check? What was the deal with the clerk giving me a hard time? blah, blah, blah, blah blah.

Before the wedding - part two
Marrying a sailor would be a good fit for my personality. It began to seem quite possible and quite real to me the more he and I talked. One of his concerns about getting married was about his future wife and the necessity of moving every three or so years that goes with military life. I had to laugh at that one. I had moved an average of twice a year, every year, since I graduated from high school. Some years I moved 3 or 4 times. Once every three years seemed like a very stable life to me.
On of the things we talked about early on was his pending change of duty station (in laymen's terms, he would be moving to a new job site). He was scheduled to re-enlist for four years at the end of January. He already had his orders for his next duty station and he would be moving in June. The logistics were beginning to seem a bit tricky. I lived in Houston and he lived in California. I could move to California to be with him, date him, and see what happened. If things did not work out, I would be in a place far from home where I did not really know anyone. If we really hit it off, I could go with him in June. Problem was, he was moving to Hawaii. It really requires a plane ticket to get a person to Hawaii and a ship to get personal belongings to Hawaii. The military would not pay to move a girlfriend or a fiancée. We talked about the cost of me making two major moves in a 6-month period. Late one night, after at least 4 hours on the phone, he told me that the military would pay for everything if we were married.
Wait a minute! Did he say married? as in me, married to him? me? married to him? Things got hazy.... my head was spinning. I wished I had someone near by to pinch me.

HORSE RACING: Twice Over is installed as the 2/1 fav for the Coral Eclipse after the withdrawl of Sariska but there looks to be another twist in the market on the horizon….
Sariska's withdrawl left Twice Over as 2/1 fav with Coral and Victor Chandler for Saturday's Coral Eclipse at Sandown but now there appears to be more drama approaching.
Henry Cecil has said they do not want ground with any jar in it, meaning effectively that Twice Over will not run should the ground be declared firm at Sandown. Currently it is good to firm and the Clerk of the Course Andrew Cooper has said it is being watered daily.
It's a situation to keep an eye on as if Twice Over is removed, Da Re Mi, currently 11/4 with Victor Chandler, will be installed as a much shorter price fav.
Compare all Coral Eclipse odds and bet at the best prices.

Welcome to The Nitpicker. Jason Kessler loves to complain almost as much as he loves to eat. Join him on his journey through the imperfect universe of food.
Slice, sear, and serve: that's all Kobe needs.
Photo: KristianTSorensen / CC 2.0
Beef is glorious. The bounty of the bovine pleases me in all of its splendid forms. From steaks to roasts, burgers to ribs, there's nary a beef dish in which I won't indulge (Rocky Mountain oysters being the exception). So imagine my elation when Kobe entered my consciousness. A variety of cattle that produces the best tasting beef in the world? Sign me up!
Sadly, it seems like many restaurants misuse Kobe beef as an excuse to raise prices.
So what is Kobe beef anyway? Derived from a specific breed of cattle (the Tajima breed) that's raised according to stringent standards in Japan's Hyogo Prefecture, Kobe meat is heavily marbled with fat, which, in turn, makes it extremely flavorful. How does it get this way? Through breeding and special care. (Most of the beef labeled "Kobe" in the States is actually "Kobe-style," which falls under a larger category of beef called "Wagyu." But I won't be getting into those semantics here.)
Now that the lesson is over, let's get to the meat of the problem (pun fully intended). Many American cooks use this superior beef in less-than-superior ways. For example, Cafe Surfas in Culver City, CA offers both a Kobe Burger and an "Old School Kobe Haute Dog" from Snake River Farms. What a waste! There's no point in using Kobe if it's going to end up as ground beef. That's like making a diamond ring out of diamond powder or sewing a cashmere sweater from the scraps of other cashmere sweaters. Kobe should be served straight up, as steaks, so that its exquisite marbling comes through with every bite. Still, I've seen other establishments use the Kobe name to beef up (yep, still intended) meatloaf and chili.
If you're going to make a big deal out of using a top-notch ingredient, why waste the very thing that makes the ingredient special in the first place?
For a restaurant, the answer is money. In my eyes, though, it's dishonest. Don't try to charge me $7 for a hot dog just because it's got a classy label. I challenge anyone to tell the difference between a bowl of Kobe chili and regular chili after the meat has cooked in tomato juice for two hours.
Maybe some people care so much about branding that eating Kobe beef in any form is exciting and, thus, well worth the added cost. To me, that's not the case. There's no need to dress it up. Just sprinkle it with a little salt and pepper, let it cook ever-so-gently under the broiler, and serve it to me as soon as possible in all of its marbled beauty. Even though all beef is glorious, I think Kobe should have a little extra glory all to itself.
Special thanks to my brother, Matthew Kessler, for inspiring this week's column.

World Water Day 2009
" The world's 263 transboundary lake and river basins include the territory of 145 countries and cover nearly half of the Earth's land surface. Great reservoirs of freshwater also move silently below our borders in underground aquifers. With every country seeking to satisfy its water needs from limited water resources, some foresee a future filled with conflict. But history shows that cooperation, not conflict, is the most common response to transboundary water management issues. "
With every country seeking to satisfy its water needs from limited water resources...I think the massive use of water for industry is the problem. Many of the current production processes are obsolete and waste more then they produce. Greed has also a big part in it, as usual. Nuclear plants also need lots of water for cooling purposes. But sometimes it seems to me as if the people are blamed for not using water carefully, as if it were possible to stop water from following its cycle. The real problem is not the use that people do of it but the fact that it gets used before it arrives to people, benefiting only some. It's part of an economical system that needs to be re-thought in a much better way.

Ask Them (All 8 of Them) About Their Grandson
By AMY HARMON
Published: March 20, 2005
Two by two, they filed into the school gym in Louisiana: Pawpaw and Mimi, Honey and Uncle Rod, Gampaw and Meme, Meemaw and David -- all eight of Blake Brunson's grandparents, there to cheer him on in the last basketball game of the season.
The couples, Blake knew, had not always lined up this way. Meemaw had shown him pictures of her wedding to Gampaw. Pawpaw had once been married to Honey. They did not live together anymore, his parents had explained, because they had not gotten along.
But Blake, who plainly relishes his outsize grandparent fan club, says he does not think much about their marriage history. ''That was before I was born,'' he said, lending a 9-year-old's perspective to decades of love and heartache.
Children like Blake are the newest characters in a national family drama that began with the steep climb in divorce in the 1970's. By 1980, half of all new marriages were projected to end in divorce, a rate that has remained constant, even as concern over its negative effect on children has mounted.
Now, the children of that generation are having children of their own. Many of their parents have remarried. And for the first time, the impact of higher divorce rates is playing out across three generations.
''The upside of all of this is that children can have more grandparents who love them,'' said Andrew Cherlin, a sociologist specializing in divorce at Johns Hopkins University and himself one of eight grandparents. ''What message it will give them about marriage, I'm not quite sure.''
For some new parents, the extra grandparent support is a boon, a kind of long-delayed silver lining emerging from the cloud of their parents' divorce. Stepparents who may have once been the objects of resentment are cast in a new light when they offer free baby-sitting and a shared fascination with the minute details of a child's development.
Some stepparents, too, are finding new pleasures as they age into a grandparent role free from the familiar conflicts that so often marked their relationships with stepchildren. Children tend to embrace the grandparents who love them, without heed to biology or court papers.
In other families, adult children estranged from a parent after a divorce find themselves reliving a sense of loss, this time on behalf of children who they fear may not receive the grandparent doting that is their due.
Nearly half of American families with children have at least one set of grandparents who have been divorced, compared with just one-fifth in the mid-1980's, said Merril Silverstein, a professor of gerontology at the University of Southern California.
In many families, the grown-up children of divorce are finding that grandchildren hold the power to bring their parents together in a way that they themselves were never able to achieve. Former spouses who share a grandchild may not fulfill their children's reunion fantasy, but they will sometimes consent to co-exist in the same room.
Jennifer Rhees, 32, said her parents were the kind of divorced couple that ''blamed and badmouthed each other in front of their kids.'' Nor did they rise to the occasion at Ms. Rhees's wedding, which she said was strained by the enduring hostilities. But at the baptism of her 9-month-old son, James, they were on their best behavior, she said, and have been socializing civilly ever since.
''It's amazing what kids do to your parents,'' said Ms. Rhees, of Boise, Idaho. ''Nothing else matters.'' Blake's paternal grandmother, Sandra Broussard (aka Meemaw) remembers crying before the baby shower when her daughter-in-law was pregnant with Blake, because she knew she would have to face her former husband's new wife for the first time.
''I don't want this strange woman to share my grandchildren,'' she remembers thinking. But she went anyway, under strict orders from her son to find a way to be nice.
''They all understand that if they want to be a part of his life then they need to get along with everybody,'' said Tim Brunson, Blake's father.
Now, the two women chat amicably at family events, along with Blake's maternal grandparents and their respective second spouses. The four couples, who live within a few miles of one another near Baton Rouge, La., share Blake and his sister, Laura, 3, without quarrel.
Not all families are able to mend their postdivorce differences for the sake of a grandchild. Sometimes, a new child only seems to broaden the distances forged in earlier times.
When Jenny Osentoski's daughter, Olivia, 7, asked her recently if her stepmother was ''like Cinderella's,'' after seeing the Disney version of the fairy tale, Ms. Osentoski did not exactly say no. Ms. Osentoski's father is so involved with his new family, she says, that he and Olivia are both missing out on the kind of relationship she had shared with her grandparents. She misses him, too, as a father in this phase of her life.
''I find it to be sadder once you have kids,'' said Ms. Osentoski, 35, of Wayland, Mich., whose parents were divorced when she was 6. ''I tell her I don't think the stepmothers in her fairy tales mean to be evil, but it would be very hard for me if I were to marry someone with children to love their children as much as my own.''
Children of divorce, accustomed to feeling torn between just two parents, are now having to juggle many more.
Many grandparents who find themselves in the larger-than-traditional crowd search for nicknames by which to differentiate themselves.

Ironing Board B, 124x38 cm, Solid Steam Unit Holder - Pauline Black is rated out of 5 by 31.Rated 4 out of 5 by Dorl66 from Bigger than expected! The ironing area itself if a good size which is great as I often iron large pieces of fabric before I cut sew. I think what makes it feel so enormous is the massive metal end where you put the iron; I think I would have been happier if it was the same width as the ironing board itself. That said, I'm very happy with it. I can actually iron at a reasonable height, not bent double, which is great. I like the spring mechanism which 'unlocks' the board when you fold it away, and I like the catch thingies which mean that once its folded flat, it stays folded flat.Date published: 2016-10-15Rated 5 out of 5 by GillG from Best ironing board ever! I bought a steam generator iron and realised that my ironing board couldn't hold it so I had to buy a new one. I looked at loads then found this one at a fantastic price! I ordered it and it was delivered promptly. It was well packed and it is just perfect! Very sturdy, loads of room for the steam generator, feels safe and has loads of height adjustments, it folds away beautifully and clips closed. I couldn't be more pleased, it looks stylish and has good padding to iron on. Another amazing Brabantia product!Date published: 2016-06-25Rated 5 out of 5 by Kyluke from Good solid ironing board. This was the first time I have bought what I would call a pricey ironing board. I have always opted for a £20-30 ironing board and they have always did the job until the cheap board cover wore out or the Mark frame decided to give up. I'm glad I have invested in a quality board and steam iron. It's early days yet but the board is solid the cover is well cushioned and I'm actually happy to tackle a load of ironing whilst watching a movie.Date published: 2016-10-08Rated 5 out of 5 by joannie from Excellent height variations Excellent product. Liked the various heights that can be used. I didn't really need end 'plate' but found it useful for stacking ironed clothes on.Date published: 2016-03-06Rated 5 out of 5 by BusyBee03 from New ironing board! I bought this particular one because it has a black frame. I am delighted with it as it is higher than my previous ironing board and therefore, I do not have to bend so much. I really like the length of the board which is great for all items to be ironed especially tablecloths! great price for the best ironing board I have ever owned!Date published: 2016-10-02Rated 5 out of 5 by Chippie from Heavy Duty ironing board i bought this to replace our 15v year old Brabantia 120cm x 30cm board. It makes a difference having the larger board and speeds up the ironing. The previous board had a standard size rest for a normal steam iron. We have a steam generator iron and it sits comfortably on the made for purpose rest. It's not the lightest board but is very well made and seems it will last at least as long as our previous board. Overall I'm very happy with this board.Date published: 2016-11-08Rated 5 out of 5 by Beck from A superb quality ironing board Just tried it for the first time, bought a steam generator iron so wanted a board to rest it on. This is perfect for it and a grey size board too. The cover is excellent and love the safety lock and the colour of the board which is black. Overall a very happy customer, thank you.Date published: 2017-01-19Rated 4 out of 5 by 67JAY from Nice! I've owned this for around a month now and so far, so good. Very sturdy and well made, although a little larger than I was expecting but that's no big deal: it still fits in the cupboard where the old one went. Overall, very nice quality from a trusted name and my steam generator sits perfectly on the end. There are two minor gripes I have with this model though. Firstly, I feel it needs to have one extra notch so it can reduce in height a little more because at it's lowest setting, it's not quite low enough for me to sit comfortably on my sofa & iron while watching TV but that's just my laziness! Secondly, and more importantly, I feel that it needs to have a pull out sleeve board. Very few ironing boards seem to have them these days, which I find rather annoying really as they are incredibly handy when doing shirts and it's the only thing I miss about my old ironing board. Overall though, I'm very happy.Date published: 2016-09-22

Pornography, Liturgy Among Agenda Topics At Upcoming Bishops' Meeting
The U.S. Conference of Catholic Bishops will meet in Baltimore and elect a new president and chairmen for various committees.
| Posted 11/7/13 at 10:50 AM
WASHINGTON — When bishops from across the country gather in Baltimore next week, they will consider issuing a formal statement on pornography, and discuss a Spanish translation of Mass prayers, among other issues.
The U.S. Conference of Catholic Bishops will hold its annual fall General Assembly Nov. 11-14, and elect a new conference president, as Cardinal Timothy Dolan of New York concludes his current presidency. They will also hear an address from Cardinal Dolan, as well as from Archbishop Carlo Maria Viganò, apostolic nuncio to the United States.
In addition, the bishops will hear a presentation for a proposal to create a formal statement on pornography, as studies continue to confirm concerns about its devastating social and spiritual effects.
Liturgical items up for discussion include the Spanish translation of the book of Mass prayers and draft translations for the Order of Confirmation and the Order of Celebrating Marriage.
Life, marriage, and religious liberty will also be discussed at the meeting, and Archbishop Salvatore Cordileone of San Francisco, who heads the USCCB's Subcommittee on the Promotion and Defense of Marriage, will deliver a presentation on the state of marriage in the United States.
A consultation on the sainthood cause of Servant of God Mary Teresa Tallon is also on the agenda, along with a presentation from the chairman and president of Catholic Relief Services, giving an update on the organization's work and strategic priorities.
The bishops will hear a report on their current strategic pastoral plan, "The New Evangelization: Faith, Worship, Witness."
They will also choose new chairmen for Conference Committees on Canonical Affairs and Church Governance, Ecumenical and Interreligious Affairs, Evangelization and Catechesis, International Justice and Peace, Child and Youth Protection, and Catholic Education.
In addition, they will elect new board members for Catholic Relief Services, and the Catholic Legal Immigration Network Inc.
Other topics of discussion at the meeting will include the 2014 conference budget and proposed revisions to the conference handbook.

|You are in: In Depth: Fertility conference 2001
Monday, 2 July, 2001, 23:37 GMT 00:37 UK
IVF twin threat questioned
Thousands of women having fertility treatment may be running a pointless risk of multiple births, suggest doctors.
Most UK clinics try to increase the chances of pregnancy by implanting at least two fertilised embryos into the woman.
However, the European Society of Human Reproduction and Embryology meeting in Lausanne was told that, for younger women at least, the extra embryo might not improve their chances even slightly.
Single embryo transfer is becoming a more common choice in some parts of Europe, particularly Scandinavia, but has yet to catch on in the UK, where most clinics will routinely transfer at least two, even in very young women.
It is only in recent years that UK clinics have been persuaded to reduce from three to two embryos to cut the risk of triplets, which are even more dangerous.
A team from Antwerp in the Netherlands conducted a trial to test the effectiveness of putting back just one embryo.
They used a simple technique to assess the quality of the embryos, selecting the best one with which to proceed.
Identical results
A group of women, all aged under 38, chose to have the procedure as part of their first IVF or ICSI cycle.
The results for the one-embryo women were almost identical to those in the two-embryo group - just under half of the women conceived in the treatment cycle.
Dr Diane De Neuborug, from the Middleheim Hospital in Antwerp, said: "This suggests that certain women can have elective single-embryo transfer without any effect on the success rate."
Professor Lyn Fraser, the chairman of ESHRE, said: "In the UK the majority of clinics are looking very seriously at transferring only two embryos except in women over 38 years old.
"However, there is still scope for improvement for a number of patients who don't have very severe problems."
'More evidence needed'
However, Professor David Barlow, from the University of Oxford, who edits the journal Human Reproduction, told BBC News Online that the evidence was not yet firm enough to force a change in policy by UK clinics.
He said: "To be convinced, I think we would need more evidence.
"Although we are aware that the obstetric and neonatal outcomes are worse in twin pregnancy than in singleton pregnancy - but both are far better than in triplet pregnancy."

Ask an Eye Doctor and Get an Answer ASAP
Hello, Welcome to Just Answer
Apart from the bloody spot on the white of the eye, do you have any other eye symptoms like pain/watering in that eye?
no pain, no watering, no sight issues
In that case it is likely that you are experiencing symptoms of a sub-conjunctival hemorrhage.
i don't remember having done anything yesterday to irritate my eye, what would cause this to happen and do i need to worry ?, and how do i treat it ? thank you
In this condition , there is rupture of a small blood vessel in the conjunctiva ( white of the eye). It can be seen in case of subtle trauma/ severe bout of coughing or sneezing / apparently for no reason in those with hypertension or those on anti-platelet medicines like low dose aspirin.
do i need to do anything, or will time erase the red dot
It is self limiting condition and subsides by itself over a period of 1-2 weeks. In the meanwhile it may change color and become more dark. You can put over the counter preservative free Refresh tears eye drops , 1 drop 4 times a day.
Thank you very much
Yes, it will disappear by itself by 1-2 weeks . It is not a matter of concern as such. You can wait for it to subside till then.
You are most welcome.
Thanks and best wishesIf you are satisfied with the answer , please press the accept button so that I get my dues.A bonus and positive feedback are welcome.Views expressed are for information purpose only and cannot substitute a visit to an ophthalmologist

Spotlight shining on Fergus Falls as Christian Film Company shooting movie "Sacred" in town
Fergus Falls, MN (WDAY TV) - Lights, camera, action.
The small Minnesota town of Fergus Falls is in the spotlight, and soon to hit the big screen.
A Christian Film Company is shooting a movie called "Sacred," using a local cast and crew and Fergus is the backdrop.
Sarah Larson/"Sacred" Director: "It's all adrenaline, it's all a rush."
Fergus Falls has gone Hollywood.
Meredith Turner/Cast Member, "Riley Boyd": It's not often that we have something this big come to Fergus."
With bright lights, audio and video equipment.
And a full movie set, crew and cast, made up of 40 local volunteers, all here to shoot a full-length film called "Sacred".
Larson: "I've had the best time and no sleep."
Turner: "It gets to be some long days and long nights but it's totally worth it."
Actress Meredith Turner of Ashby is one of six teens turned movie stars for the two week shoot.
Turner: "I love my character. I love being Riley."
The film focuses on the teens and follows their routine lives, until someone close to them passes away.
Larson: "The grief actually is what brings out everything and gets them all to kind of open up."
Open up and come together, despite all of their differences.
Turner: "The entire storyline of Sacred is really touching and we really have had a lot of fun working."
The cast and crew have been making stops all over town, like here in the hallways at Kennedy, which they've transformed into Lynn Turner High School.
Larson: "Fergus is just very warm and inviting when it comes to doing things."
Turner: "Everybody is wanting to play a part in this."
So the only way to pay them back is by putting on the best show possible.
Larson: "I hope people watch the film and realize that we hear them."
Turner: "It's been a blessing and I know it's going to be a blessing to many people. So I want to be a part of that."
Creating a movie they hope will touch the lives of everyone who sees it.
The film is fairly low budget, funded mainly through donations and will premiere in Fergus Falls next June.

I had Radiesse injections with Linocane and I think a nerve in the face was struck. I felt like I've been zapped by lightning. I have not regained feeling in my upper lip, the top and tip of my nose. It had been a week with no improvement and I am very scared. My doctor has told me the feeling would come back in time. What do you think? I would like another opinion rather than to wait it out. It is very uncomfortable. I have muscle control but no feeling. It's been 7 days and still no improvement on feeling.
Numb Face After Radiesse Injection
Doctor Answers 4
Facial Numbness After Radiesse Injection
Hi Debbie,
Yes, it does sound as if the second branch of your Trigeminal nerve was affected by the local anesthetic nerve block, and/or too much Radiesse too close to the nerve causing compression of the nerve.
The good news is that this is almost never a permanent complication. The bad news is that we cannot predict exactly when your sensation will return. Hopefully by the time you are reading this answer you are improved, but sometimes it may take weeks or months.
There isn't a whole lot to do at this point, but you may want to consult with your injecting physician about massage of the product out of the area around the nerve, and/or a shot of steroid to decrease inflammation.
Good luck and hope that your sensation returns to normal quickly.
Dr. P
Numbness Face after Radiesse
Numbness from an injection is usually temporary. It can be uncomfortable and a bit concerning but the numbness is almost never permanent. It could be caused by the local anesthetic nerve block or the filler may be causing compression on the nerve. Usually lasts no more than 6 weeks.
Learn more: http://www.capefearaesthetics.com/details/radiesse-17/
Numbness after Radiesse injection should go away.
The lidocaine is long gone. And, of course the numbness in your face has nothing to do with the Radiesse injections themselves.
What happened is the needle injured the infra-orbital nerve. These nerve injuries (partial laceration) almost always heal in a few months. The numbness should go away.

Thank you for your question!
The numbness from an injection is usually temporary. It can be disconcerting and uncomfortable. After injecting patients for 13 years with various fillers i have seen numbness last up to 6 weeks and no long term nerve damage. Certainly there can be a variety of changes/long or short term nerve recovery.
With Warm Regards,
Trevor M Born MD

Escape in the Fog. 1945. Directed by Budd Boetticher (credited as Oscar Jr.)

The Museum of Modern Art
2 past occurrences
Escape in the Fog. 1945. USA. Directed by Budd Boetticher (credited as Oscar Jr.). 65 min.
Screenplay by Aubrey Wisberg. With Nina Foch, Otto Kruger, William Wright. Boetticher's wartime spy thriller pleasurably mixes Freudian pop psychology, supernaturalism, and tradecraft. A battle-scarred Navy nurse, awakening from a nightmare in which a man is about to be murdered on the Golden Gate Bridge, finds the mysterious stranger standing at the foot of her bed. Very quickly they become enmeshed in a nasty bit of international espionage involving fifth columnists, double agents, and an extremely well-placed MacGuffin. Escape in the Fog was the last of Boetticher's five B-movies for Columbia Pictures. According to Boetticher, the film was made in only 10 days on a minimal budget, and is enlivened by an intelligent performance by Nina Foch (the star of Joseph Lewis's My Name Is Julia Ross) and the delightfully sinister character actors Otto Kruger and Ivan Triesault.
