CATEGORIES MoviesLooks like Joss Whedon will be following Bryan Singer's lead after all: Singer just announced that Quicksilver will appear in "X-Men: Days of Future Past."
Whedon first teased the possibility of using twins Quicksilver and Scarlet Witch in his follow-up to "The Avengers" back in April, confirming the news earlier this month. At the time, there was some speculation that the duo could theoretically also pop up in "Days of Future Past," since both Fox and Disney own the rights to the villains-turned-heroes. Now, Singer's announcement on Twitter Thursday that Evan Peters ("Kick Ass") has been cast to play the superfast Quicksilver has turned that probability into a certainty.
Before he was an #Avenger, he was just a REALLY fast kid. Thrilled to say #EvanPeters is joining #XMen #DaysOfFuturePast as #Quicksilver.- Bryan Singer (@BryanSinger) May 23, 2013
Quicksilver and Scarlet Witch are the children of "X-Men" villain Magneto, and first appear in the Marvel universe as antagonists before joining forces with the Avengers. Judging by their presence in "Days of Future Past," Singer's looking to focus on their early, evil days.
Not only will Singer be first in getting his version of the twins into multiplexes -- "Days" debuts July 14, 2014, while "The Avengers 2" isn't due until May 1, 2015 -- but he's also beaten Whedon to the punch in casting. While Peters is a lock for "Days," there's been no confirmation on who will play either of the twins in "Avengers 2," aside from some recent reports that Whedon has based his characterization of Scarlet Witch on Irish actress Saoirse Ronan.
For her part, Ronan would be happy to join the "Avengers" team, telling The Mary Sue she would take the part if offered.
"I love Joss and I love those films, and I love his handle on them and how he portrayed these kinds of superheroes," she said. "I think it's very different from what anyone else has done. So yeah, I'd love to be in it."

basically bodyweight exercises, showing that you can carry your own weight but it seems that a very very small percentage of girls can do this.
I think that it is because of the way that we are brought up more than gender differences etc.
It is my hypothesis that this is because girls aren't seen as meant to have strength, whereas boys have been chipping away at it since a very young age.
Any think different ?
I think it is because they don't have as much test running through their bodies, thus they don't manufacture as much muscle as men do.

This should have been answered back in jr. high bio class.
female bodies are different from male bodies. Testerone is what makes it possible for us to have more bulk than women. If we took your testrone and replaced it with estrogen you will be just like a girl. Steroids boost testerone levels and the elevated testerone levels allow the gains that steroids give.
So I guess the answer to your question is testerone.
Men have more testosterone, more muscle mass, and generally wider shoulders which give better leverage.

some girls can. I know a couple that can rep out in chins and in pushups.
Most can't tho. Gals are just built different and don't have 250 mg of test getting pumped into them per week like the average man with 2 testicles is getting.
Women are much more competitive with men in lower body strength than in upper body strength as well. Ever notice how a well developed woman will have legs almost as big as a man's of similar stature, but her arms will always be way smaller?
Also women carry more of thier bodyweight in thieir hips, and thighs, which don't contribute at all to the ability to do chins.
I have been training over 10 years, and I know 3 women during all that time that can do chins and dips. None of them are lifetime clean by the way.

Incorrect. Women tend to be LESS far behind in lower body strength to men. However, the average male is significantly stronger in the legs than the average female. It's also a fallacy that women have superior endurance to men. So we win in all three categories, but the disparity is less in some.Originally posted by Tryska

That just makes girls that can do pull-ups, squat and deadlift mad weight, and bench heavy all that more impressive.

Strength Training for Women: Debunking Myths That Block Opportunity
William P. Ebben, MS, MSSW, CSCS; Randall L. Jensen, PhD
In Brief: Traditional gender roles and differences in absolute strength have resulted in misconceived approaches to strength training for women. Male physiology, more than hormones, explains men's superior absolute strength. When other measures of strength are used, such as strength relative to cross-sectional area of muscle, the strength of men and women is nearly equal. Women who practice the same well-designed strength training programs as men benefit from bone and soft-tissue modeling, increased lean body mass, decreased fat, and enhanced self-confidence.
Although American women first began strength training for sports in the 1950s to improve their performance in track and field, they have traditionally participated in strength training less than men. Such exercise has not been considered feminine, and a lack of research and information regarding the effects of such training on women has made it a predominantly male activity. Women's participation was particularly limited until 1972, when Title IX mandated equal access to educational programs--including athletics--for men and women in schools that receive federal funding. Since then, women's sports participation has burgeoned, traditional gender roles have loosened, and strength training has grown in popularity among active women.
Nevertheless, the social stigma and lack of accurate information persist and feed misconceptions that keep women away from strength training or prevent them from training in optimal ways (see "Dispelling Misconceptions," below). Though gender differences regarding absolute strength exist, women are as able as men to develop strength relative to total muscle mass. Consequently, women should strength train in the same ways as men, using the same program design, exercises, intensities, and volumes, relative to their body size and level of strength, so they can achieve the maximum physiologic and psychological benefits.
Gender Stereotypes
Our culture has traditionally viewed strength as a masculine trait and promoted a small, frail body as feminine. Consequently, girls have been discouraged from participating in gross-motor-skill activities and strength development. Such sex role stereotypes, formed early in childhood, can dictate behavior and limit women's and men's ability to express their full humanity. This means that some women may have never achieved their potential for physical well-being, fitness, and athletic participation.
The advent of the women's movement in the 1970s allowed many women to overcome such traditional socialization and participate more freely in sports and strength training. However, change occurs slowly, and physical strength and strength training are still not as common or accepted for women as they are for men.
A Gender Gap in Strength?
Research (1,2) on male and female strength potential reveals that women possess about two thirds of the strength of men. However, the measurement of strength in absolute terms fosters misconceptions about the strength of women, how women see themselves, and the way they exercise.
What causes this strength difference? Are there ways to conceptualize strength that affirm women's potential and encourage their development?
The role of hormones. Hormones play a role in the development of absolute strength in men and women, but the exact influence is not clear. The androgens that come from the adrenal glands and ovaries are the hormones most likely to influence strength. The most important androgens for strength development are testosterone and androstenedione. The absolute androstenedione response to weight lifting is similar in females and males (3).
The role of testosterone in strength development is complex and significantly more variable than that of androstenedione. Though women on average have about one tenth the testosterone of men (4), the level of testosterone varies greatly among women and influences women's strength development more than is typical in men (3). Women who have higher testosterone levels may have a greater potential for strength and power development than other women. An individual woman's testosterone level fluctuates, so a woman who is near the upper limit of her testosterone threshold may have an advantage in developing strength compared with other women. Though hormones may influence strength development potential among women, they most likely do not account for significant male-female differences in absolute strength.
Physiologic factors. Physiologic differences such as size and body structure are more likely explanations for the average absolute strength differences between men and women. For example, the average American male is about 13 cm taller than the average female and about 18 kg heavier. Men average about 18 to 22 kg more lean body mass and 3 to 6 kg less fat than women. Men typically have a taller, wider frame that supports more muscle, as well as broader shoulders that provide a greater leverage advantage.
The Strength of Women
Strength, however, should not be viewed in absolute terms. The gender differences in absolute strength, for example, are not consistent for all muscle groups. Women possess about 40% to 60% of the upper-body strength and 70% to 75% of the lower-body strength of men (3). Men may have an advantage in neuromuscular response time that results in greater force production speed than women (5). However, the distribution of muscle fiber types--fast and slow twitch--is similar in the two sexes, and women are able to use a greater portion of stored elastic energy than men during activities in which muscle is prestretched, such as in the countermovement prior to jumping.
More significantly, if the amount of lean body mass is factored into the strength equation, the relative strength difference between men and women is less appreciable. Based on a strength-to-lean-body-mass ratio, women are about equal in strength to men, and when strength is calculated per cross-sectional area of muscle, no significant gender difference exists. For example, a 15 cm2 cross-sectional area of an arm flexor has about 19 kg of force for both women and men (6).
Measuring strength in this way suggests that muscle at the cellular level has a force development capability independent of sex and that women benefit from strength training at least as much as men. Hence men and women should follow strength training procedures that include periodization--variations in the resistance training program that are implemented over a specific time--and exercise performed at intensities and volumes suited to physical ability and level of strength conditioning. Ultimately, each athlete should be assessed as an individual, and training programs should meet individual needs and goals, rather than those based on preconceived ideas about gender.
The Benefits for Women
Women benefit from strength training in several ways (table 1).
Table 1. Strength Training Benefits for Women*
Enhanced bone modeling to increase bone strength and reduce the risk of osteoporosis
Stronger connective tissues to increase joint stability and help prevent injury
Increased functional strength for sports and daily activity
Increased lean body mass and decreased nonfunctional body fat
Higher metabolic rate because of an increase in muscle and a decrease in fat
Improved self-esteem and confidence
* A number of factors may reduce or eliminate these benefits, including the exclusive use of weight training machines, training with loads that are too light, and not progressing in resistance or intensity.
Bone and soft tissue. Women, more than men, need to meet the minimal essential strain required for bone modeling to occur and ultimately for reducing the risk of osteoporosis. Prevention of osteoporosis requires above-normal axial skeletal loading (7,8). The strain tolerance for skeletal bone is believed to be more than 10 times the typical load that humans bear in daily activities (9). Since bone modeling is proportional to the degree of overload (the amount of stress applied beyond the normal load), the greater the overload--within limits--the greater the amount of bone modeling. Bone modeling helps prevent fractures and insure against osteoporosis.
Cartilage, tendons, and ligaments also have minimal essential strain requirements. Optimal strength development requires loads and intensities that progressively increase the training stimulus or stress. Strong cartilage, tendons, and ligaments are essential for joint integrity, stability, and injury prevention.
Lean body mass and fat. Strength training also increases lean body mass and decreases fat; this results in less nonfunctional fat to carry and a greater proportion of lean body mass, which can provide functional strength. Compared to fat, muscle is metabolically active and increases metabolic rate, fat oxidation, and calorie consumption. Increased muscle mass and muscle cross-sectional area also correlate with increased strength. Participation in "functional" strength training exercises will develop functional strength and most likely improve performance, whether it is an increased ability to spike a volleyball or pick up a child.
Psychological well-being. Finally, studies (3) suggest that women who engage in strength training benefit from improved self-esteem. Female athletes appear to be able to balance strength and femininity; according to one survey, 94% of the participants reported that athletic participation did not lead them to feel less feminine. Strength training also appears to give women a sense of personal power, especially for women who have been raped or abused.
Such psychological benefits arise from the physiologic changes that occur as a result of strength training and from the process of encountering and mastering physical challenges. Thus, both the process and the outcome of strength training benefit women (3).
Strength Training Guidelines
Since well-designed strength training programs include exercises with free weights and dumbbells and exercises that use body weight resistance, both women and men should include these in their training, and women should train at the same intensities as men.
The use of strength training machines and abdominal exercises need not be discontinued, but emphasis should be placed on the use of free-weight exercises including foot-based lower-body exercises such as the lunge, diagonal lunge, walking lunge, step up, lateral step up, and squat. Women should also include upper-body exercises that employ multiple muscle groups such as the bench press, incline press, latissimus dorsi pull-downs, pull-ups, and back extensions. Finally, women who have developed a strength base should consider total-body exercises such as the push press, hang clean, power clean, clean and jerk, and snatch.
A training program should also stress multiplanar, multijoint, functional exercises because they develop intermuscular coordination, proprioception, and balance and result in strength that transfers to sports and daily activities. For example, the step-up exercise is superior to using the leg-extension machine because it offers functional strength for walking up a flight of stairs while carrying bags of groceries. For athletes who play foot-based sports such as basketball, the squat is superior to using the leg-press machine, since the squat is functionally more similar to the sport and requires greater balance and weight and body control in all three planes of motion.
Fostering Strength
Though sex role stereotypes still powerfully shape our culture and behavior, physical strength is no longer the sole domain of men. More and more women are claiming strength as their own through participation in sports and especially in strength training programs. Such participation helps to counter the stereotypes and fosters an appreciation of strength as desirable for women.

Dispelling Misconceptions
Recent studies counter several widely held beliefs that may limit the physiologic and psychological benefits of weight training for women.
Myth 1: Strength training causes women to become larger and heavier. The truth is, strength training helps reduce body fat and increase lean weight (1). These changes may result in a slight increase in overall weight, since lean body mass weighs more than fat. However, strength training results in significant increases in strength, no change or a decrease in lower-body girths, and a very small increase in upper-extremity girth. Only women with a genetic predisposition for hypertrophy who participate in high-volume, high-intensity training will see substantial increases in limb circumference.
Myth 2: Women should use different training methods than men. Women are often encouraged to use weight machines and slow, controlled movements out of a fear that using free weights, manual resistance, explosiveness (high velocity, low force), or exercises that use body weight as resistance will cause injury.
In fact, no evidence suggests that women are more likely to be injured during strength training than men. Proper exercise instruction and technique are necessary to reduce the risk of injuries for both men and women. All strength training participants should follow a program that gradually increases the intensity and load.
Furthermore, sport-specific exercise should closely mimic the biomechanics and velocity of the sport for which an athlete is training (2). The best way to achieve this is to use closed-kinetic-chain exercise that involves multiple joints and muscle groups and the ranges of motion specific to the sport. For example, the push press--rather than triceps kickbacks--offers a superior arm extension training stimulus for improving the ability to throw the shot put in track and field.
Myth 3: Women should avoid high-intensity or high-load training. Women are typically encouraged to use limited resistance, such as light dumbbells, in their strength exercises. Often such light training loads are substantially below those necessary for physiologic adaptations and certainly less than those commonly used by men.
Most women are able to train at higher volumes and intensities than previously believed. In fact, women need to train at intensities high enough to cause adaptation in bone, muscle, cartilage, ligaments, and tendons. When exercise intensity provides insufficient stimulus, physiologic benefits may be minimal (3). To gain maximum benefit from strength training, women should occasionally perform their exercises at or near the repetition maximum for each exercise.

Dude, did Doogie Howser just steal my fucking car?
I think that the ONLY reason girls "cannot" do pushups or pullups is that it is not emphasized for us. It is assumed that we cannot do it, and thus no one ever bothers trying to teach girls how to train themselves to do these exercises and work these muscle groups.
In the disgrace that is often elementary, junior, and high school PE classes, for "physical fitness tests" girls and guys attempt pullups. The girls are given the opportunity to hang from a pullup bar for a few seconds and then are shuttled over to the Flexed Arm Hang station or some other silly replacement test instead of any attempt being made to teach them how to actually do a pullup. This reason is why being able to do pullups has become a huge goal of mine. I have been working on them for 4 months, and not even super consistantly at that. And while I have not achieved my goals completely yet, I am very happy with my progress and feel that there is nothing exceptional about it (except perhaps the coaching that I have received). I feel that any girl who was properly motivated could learn to do pullups.
Pushups are even easier, in my mind, and I think a lot of girls actually can do a respectable number of these (perhaps 10 in a row). Once again, its just something that needs to be worked on.
Now, I'm not accusing anyone of saying that girls cannot do pullups, I know that no one did. And I'm not trying to say that girls can do as many as guys under normal conditions. Facts are facts. We are built differently (girls have more mass in their lower bodies, men in their upper), we have different hormone levels, and so on. All I'm saying is that girls can do these exercises, and do them better than many people suspect. I think what we have to focus on teaching them how, but first of all just teaching them that they CAN do it. Much of the block is mental.

Not necessarily. A lot of what a girl does athletically, especially while growing up, will make a difference to her final size, legwise (barring a lot of weightlifting).
Figure skaters/hockey players in particular tend to have much more muscular and thereby larger legs though this doesn't mean they're destined to be a fatty fatty boom-balatty.

Your right Cal. But I once dated this girl that didn't have that big of legs when we started dating. As she gained weight every freakin' pound went to her legs and calves. They were like.......HUGE I've just never gotten over it.

"It is often said, mainly by the "no-contests", that although there is no positive evidence for the existence of God, nor is there evidence against his existence. So it is best to keep an open mind and be agnostic. At first sight that seems an unassailable position, at least in the weak sense of Pascal's wager. But on second thought it seems a cop-out, because the same could be said of Father Christmas and tooth fairies. There may be fairies at the bottom of the garden. There is no evidence for it, but you can't prove that there aren't any, so shouldn't we be agnostic with respect to fairies?"

Not the sect that has the best evidence in its favour, the best miracles, the best moral code, the best cathedral, the best stained glass, the best music: when it comes to choosing from the smorgasbord of available religions, their potential virtues seem to count for nothing, compared to the matter of heredity. This is an unmistakable fact; nobody could seriously deny it. Yet people with full knowledge of the arbitrary nature of this heredity, somehow manage to go on believing in their religion, often with such fanaticism that they are prepared to murder people who follow a different one."

TCU rolls by Lenoir-Rhyne, 93-55
Dec. 8, 2001
Fort Worth - Corey Santee was one of four TCU players to score in double figures Saturday as the Frogs defeated Lenoir-Rhyne, 93-55 at Daniel-Meyer Coliseum. The Frogs improve to 6-3 this season, while Lenoir-Rhyne drops to 1-8.
Santee, who scored 17 points, helped TCU build a 27-point lead at the half. The Frogs shot a blistering 59.4% in the opening half as they jumped out to a 53-26 lead. Twelve of Santee's 17 points came in the first half. Jamal Brown narrowly missed a double-double as he scored 14 points and grabbed nine rebounds. Brown converted 10-of-12 free throws on the evening.
As a team, TCU hit 22-of-31 shots from the charity stripe, while Lenoir-Rhyne hit only 8-of-12 free throws. The Frogs hit a total of nine three-pointers, including three each by Santee and Junior Blount.
The TCU bench contributed 38 points in the contest as 11 of the 12 Frogs that played scored a basket. James Davis came off the bench to score 14 points on 6-of-7 shooting, while Nucleus Smith added nine points and six assists. Ten of the 12 Frogs played at least 11 minutes in the game.
"I didn't like our attitude tonight," said head coach Billy Tubbs. "This was a hard game to play. I do not know if it was getting ready for finals or what. We played a lot of players tonight, and I thought we had some guys give us some good minutes off the bench. I thought James Davis and Rebel Paulk played well, plus I noticed that Nucleus Smith was not limping. Hopefully by next Saturday, he will be 100 percent."
Randy Mauldin led the Bears with 12 points.
TCU will return to action on Saturday, December 15, when they host Texas-San Antonio in a non-conference game.

St. Patrick's Day may be 110 days away but plans are being finalized for both the parade and festival in Savannah which can only be described as a "phenomenon."
1,000,000 plus people last year made their way to Savannah, based on estimates by city officials. The parade, like last year, falls on a Saturday, which means visitors will begin to arrive as early as Wednesday for the event.
Those crowds are expected to be about the same size, if not bigger. This year, what's old is new again. A few years ago the city did away with wristband sales.
This year, it looks like the wristbands are coming back, not just for River Street, but for the entire entertainment zone. The goal is to crack down on under-age drinking and the bracelets, according to organizers, would make it easier to spot legal drinkers and illegal drinkers.
"This is only for the purpose of controlling the consumption of alcohol out in public," Mark Dana, Riverfront Savannah, told WTOC.
The proposed festival days are same as last year, Friday before the parade and Saturday, the day of the parade. The expanded entertainment zone now covers all of River St., Bay St. from MLK Blvd. to East Broad St., Ellis Square, City Market, Bryan St., Congress St., Julian St. and Broughton St. from MLK to Drayton.
Inside this zone is where you would need to buy a $5 bracelet before you could drink in public. The event organizers do not want to burden police with doing strict enforcement. They would rather just have officers point visitors to where the bracelets should be purchased.
Businesses would not be forced to make their customers buy a bracelet. Instead, the Riverfront Savannah and participating organization will have bar card certified people selling the bracelets at booths all over the festival zone. Hotels will offer them for purchase along with a St. Patrick's Day guide including rules and regulations.
Dana says he knows not everyone will like the return of the wristband, but if you do the math, he thinks the revenue and safety aspects will be worth it.
"We hope the big picture is seen and the revenues generated from this effort will allow us to have future festivals and then benefit from those festivals," Dana said.
City council seemed on board with the wristbands coming back in a more simple approach. $5 a wristband times the 100,000 people or more who were on River Street last year and other areas, if they were drinking in public, is hard to ignore for some who see those dollar signs.
If you plan on bringing your dog to the expanded festival zone, you may want to think again.
No dogs in the festival zone's peak times has been proposed. City staff said waste, dogs spooked by the crowds, getting stepped on or fighting with other dogs became a safety danger so they have asked for a time designated dog ban during the festival this year.
"When people congregate in one area and we have a bunch of dogs in one area, that's an issue because we have nasty ground and for that reason we are saying it is a health code issue but also a danger to our citizens," Marty Johnston, City of Savannah, said.
What is being proposed is not a full ban but a limitation on dogs during the festival period which would be part of a revised festival ordinance Savannah City Council would vote on as we get closer to the big event.
Service dogs are a different story and protected under Americans with Disabilities Act.
Johnston also had a message for residents with dogs who live inside the festival zone.
"This is not about residents who live in downtown not being allowed to bring their dogs down for their daily routine. This is about dogs in large crowds we see that as a danger and we see it as a health issue. That is what we are looking to try and control," Johnston said.
Usually, these proposed changes are brought to council in February. This year, after requests from council, the St. Patrick's day task force and the Riverfront Savannah groups made sure to bring these ideas up early and include them in the festival ordinance.
Sanitation and public safety topped the list of proposed changes for this year's St. Patrick's day festivities.
The wristbands and dog ban are big changes, but a lot of time was spent discussing the state of the porta potties. So many people, and not enough porta potties, raising even more health concerns. The last few years, people started bringing their own private bathrooms which caused some issues too.
"Our issue is portalets which stay on the right of way, that get knocked over or start blocking someone's driveway or near kitchens and restaurants is a health code issue," Johnston said.
The city brings in as many porta potties as they can, but with huge crowds, cleaning those out while the festival and parade are underway proves to be difficult. The aftermath, described by Johnston, is "atrocious."
So, the city is allowing people to bring a private porta potty if it is loaded on the back of a truck, stays on the back of a truck, the truck is legally parked and moved immediately following the parade.
Johnston said the more people who do that will only help with the sanitation issue and rest room lines.
"Last year, we had 40 trucks with portalets. It's not really a significant number that people are going to use but anything that lessens the burden on public portalets is a help," Johnston said.
Last year, the city thought about trying to stop those trucks but had a change of heart when they saw the chaos and mess left behind at the public portalets. They can only place public one's in so many locations before it disrupts residents.
The revised ordinance will be presented to council, with suggested changes, in February.

- PID (pelvic inflammatory disease)
- Who currently have an untreated pelvic infection
- Have more than one sexual partner, or a sexual partner who has more than one sexual partner
According to Bayer HealthCare Pharmaceuticals, the manufacturer of Mirena, this IUD contraceptive is appropriate for women who have had at least 1 child, who are in a stable, mutually monogamous relationship, and have no risk or history of ectopic pregnancy or pelvic inflammatory disease. The reasoning behind these cautions has nothing to do with the IUD itself. Though both Mirena IUD and ParaGard IUD have been proven to be very effective at preventing pregnancy, the IUD offers no protection against sexually transmitted diseases. Because of this, healthcare professionals typically recommend IUD birth control to women who are married or involved in a serious monogamous relationship.
In the past, IUD use in younger women (without children) was incorrectly linked to conditions like PID, infertility, and other side effects related to IUD placement. Nowadays, we know that the IUD is a safe and highly effective birth control option for women of all ages, with or without children. But, there is still some concern about an increased risk of PID with IUD use in women without children.
This is because higher rates of STDs (not IUD use) puts a woman more at risk for PID. Women who have not had children tend to be younger and generally have higher rates of STDs (like chlamydia), which can lead to PID. Mirena can actually help protect against PID because it thickens cervical mucus and decreases menstrual flow. BUT, Mirena does not protect against STDs.
If you choose to have multiple sexual partners while using IUD birth control, it is extremely important that you also use condoms for STD protection. It may also be a wise idea to have both you and your partner tested for STDs prior to having sex. You also need to be 100% sure that your partner is not having sex with anybody else.

Cathleen Greenwell lives in chronic pain. She has for the past 2 and a half years. Years ago, she thought a spinal fusion would help her, but it didn't. And with a pain level of 6 to 7 every single day, her life started to fall apart. "It's consumed every ounce of my life. My dignity is gone, my career is gone. There's not much left. I don't know how people do it."
So after physical therapy, pain medicine and pretty much every other treatment option failed her, she ended up at Northern Nevada Medical Center. Dr Denis Patterson of Nevada Advanced Pain Specialists is about to perform a spinal cord stimulation on her. "Basically there are small electrodes on this lead that I'm going to put in the spinal canal and it connects to a battery source that actually turns on and creates a magnet field that then causes the stimulation in the spinal cord that the brain picks up and actually thinks that's in the spinal cord area they'll feel it in the leg where they had pain."
Basically tricking the brain to perceiving pain as a slight tingle. And here's how. Dr. Patterson threads two leads up both sides of her spinal column. Once they are in the exact place he wants them, a rep with St. Judes, who makes the stimulator, turns it on. "I'm going to turn it up just a little. It is still pretty mild."
Cathleen is wide awake. Numbing medicine makes the procedure tolerable. And once the device is turned on, she immediately feels a difference. "The device is like your TV. You can change the channels, turn it up turn it down so the patient has a lot of control over what they're feeling," explain Dr. Patterson.
Dr. Patterson says it's for anyone who has had back surgery for nerve issues, but still feels pain even if the surgery was considered successful. This device is temporary, kind of like test driving a car. If the patient likes it, they can get a permanent one surgically implanted.
Cathleen saw a huge improvement in her pain and is now considering a permanent device.

Set Up Goal For Retirement And Plan Ahead
Set Up Goal For Retirement And Plan Ahead
Monday, June 3, 2013 - 3:35 PM
From MarketWatch.com:
What you need to retire and how to get there - MarketWatch
"This is a pretty easy number to come by, if dispiriting to some. If you expect to have a relatively safe retirement income of $60,000 a year, you will need $800,000 saved up by the time you retire.
I say dispiriting because
not many folks at the edge of retirement are anywhere near that kind of number
. (We'll explain how to get there in No. 2.) For now, assume you will collect, as a working couple, a payout from Social Security of $36,000 a year.
Your income gap is now just $24,000 a year, which you will draw from your retirement savings of $800,000 to close the gap."
Some very simple no-non-sense calculations to come up with the goal (in terms of amount) for retirement savings and how to get there.
It is also a good indication on how much (in percentage) one should invest in the stock market. If one has enough (or close to enough) in the retirement porfolio, why take a big risk in the dangerous stock market?

As we all found out in the finale seconds of the last episode, Merlin is immortal. When it gets a closer look, there were hints about it more than once in the show. But most importantly - Merlin doesn't just live forever. He can not simply die.
And Merlin can not die until Arthur returns.
Let me explain this a little more.
Firstly I'd like to point out that 'Emrys', Merlin's druid name, means immortal. A lot of us knew that already, but let's get into the really interesting and poignant fact - being immortal doesn't mean he just lives forever, it means he can't die at all.
I always wondered why it was always Arthur nearly dying or almost getting killed in the episodes. Merlin had just a few close-calls during the five seasons, but the fact that he was immortal was hinted to us more than once. When? Let me tell you.
The first hint is as early as during the episode Poisoned chalice (1x04), Merlin drinks the poison for Arthur and starts dying. In the end, Gaius makes a magical antidote for him, and he makes Merlin to drink it. But Merlin stops breathing only mere seconds after drinking it. Gaius then listens to his heart but Merlin's heart has already stopped. Which means his heart wouldn't make his blood circulate and let the antidote fight the poison inside his veins. Also, I don't think Gaius would get these things wrong, don't you think, being a trained physician and all?
No. Because the fact is that Merlin dies in this scene and comes back to life. The antidote has nothing to do with it.
Then on the episode Le morte D'Arthur (1x13) Arthur gets injured by the questing beast and is doomed to die soon. Merlin travels to the Isle of the Blessed and trades his own life for Arthur's. Merlin goes back to Camelot and waits all night for death to claim him, but he doesn't die. Instead, it's his mother that falls fatally ill. The Old Religion leaves him untouched and alive - as if he can not die at all.
Alright. Starts making sense? Then, we get to the Curse of Cornelius Sigan (2x01). Sigan is an immortal spirit, and if he posesses someone, they can't handle the power and die. Let me quote Gaius from that episode
Gaius: "Merlin, Sigan's power is far beyond yours. (…)He is immortal and you are not. If you face him, he will destroy you."
Now when Merlin challenges Sigan, Sigan has posessed the body of Cedric. When Merlin refuses to join Sigan, Sigan leaves Cedric's body and floats to Merlin and posesses him instead. We see Merlin falling to the ground, convulsing, until his eyes turn black - indicating that Sigan has truly gotten a hold of his body. In this moment, Merlin should have died. There is no way he should have stayed alive after Sigan posessed him, because Cedrid died instantly. Merlin, however, stays alive. He destroys Sigan and survives again miraculously.
Are you starting to believe me now? But we're not done yet, not nearly.
There is also the time Merlin gets stung by a Serket scorpion in Tears of Uther Pendragon (3x01) He seems to pass out from the poison, but does he, really? What if he dies again? Kilgarrah claims later on, when Merlin wakes up, that he has healed Merlin. About this, we can't be really certain what happened.
Then there's the most important incident with the Dorocha in the two-parter Darkest hour (4x01-4x02) The Dorochas are the deadly spirits whose touch kill instantly every mortal. Let me once again quote Gaius from that episode:
ARTHUR: "How do we defeat these creatures?"
GAIUS: "I don't know, sire. No mortal has ever survived their touch."
So the spirits always kill the victims. But then we get to the end of the episode where Merlin jumps in front of the Dorocha to protect Arthur, and the Dorocha spirit goes through him, throwing him against a wall. Merlin falls and when Arthur rushes to him and turns him around, Merlin's eyes are open and he looks as frozen as the other victims before. I had never realized before that Merlin actually dies in this scene. He is dead. Right there, when Arthur turns him around, Merlin is dead. Just like the other victims before him. But he comes back alive some time after, because in the next episode's beginning, we see Merlin gravely ill but very much alive.
There are several injuries and knock-outs in the episodes between, but they are not life-threatening or serious. Let's move to the last season.
So, let's talk about the episode Another's sorrow (5x05) where Morgana throws Merlin into a tree with magic and casts a spell on him - we see Merlin starting to choke and he seems to pass out.
Then Merlin is brought to Gaius' care. Gaius says that Merlin has received a 'heavy blow to the head', but after a long time, Merlin doesn't wake up. Let me quote the actual dialogue from the episode:
Gwaine: "He should've come around by now. "
Gaius: "It's unusual certainly."
Gwaine: "Just a blow to the head, you say?"
Gaius: "There is nothing to suggest anything more. On the outside at least. He's getting cold…"
Gaius tries to heal Merlin with a spell, but he fails. He tries again, but there is no change. Gaius looks desperate and whispers pleadingly to Merlin that he doesn't have enough magic to do more powerful spell than this. In other words, it couldn't have been Gaius' spell that healed Merlin. But like by pure miracle, Merlin soon opens his eyes and is brought back to the lands of the living again.
Or precisely - he wasn't healed. He even might have been dead for a moment - that's why Gaius said he was getting colder (and also to get Gwaine leave). So Merlin died. He came back to life. Again.
Are you starting to see a pattern here? It makes awfully lot of sense, doesn't it?
When we reach the episode of Kindness of strangers (5x10) Merlin receives an arrow to his side. He soon gets very sick and weak, and later he has lost so much blood that he just collapses to the ground, merely being able to call the dragon to help him before his eyes slid closed. Whether it was Kilgarrah that healed him or Merlin dying again and coming back to life, we'll never know. My best guess is that Kilgarrah didn't save Merlin at all during this or back with the Serket poison - he just didn't tell Merlin that he had, in fact, died, and simply came back to life.
Then finally, we get to the last episode (Diamond of the day, part 2. 5x13) As well all know, Arthur ends up dying to Merlin's arms. More importantly, we also find out that Morgana as a High Priestess and powerful sorceress can only die by a blade that was forged in the dragon's breath - so by Excalibur, since Mordred's sword was buried with him. This is important to know.
In the end, Kilgarrah tells Merlin that one day Arthur will rise again when he is needed. Merlin buries Arthur to the Lake of Avalon. He hesitates on the shoreline for a moment - and I have to admit that for a moment I was absolutely certain that Merlin thought about running himself through with Excalibur. I think he already had some vague idea about his immortality by now - and according to Morgana, Excalibur might be the only weapon in the world that could kill him permanently. But Merlin doesn't test this theory, instead he throws Excalibur to the lake, and a hand comes up from the water to grab it. This was confirmed to be Arthur's hand by the writers - and I find it truly adorable that Arthur takes the sword, making sure Merlin doesn't have the option to try and kill himself.
Then Merlin is left alone. As it seems, he never returns to Camelot. As years go by, his mother and his friends like Gwen, Leon and Percival start to die of old age. Merlin, however, doesn't. He keeps ageing but never in fact, dies, or at least stays dead.
Merlin's whole world was shattered when Arthur died. As sad as it sounds, I think it's safe to assume that Merlin wanted to die at some point after spending hundreds of years alone. He must have tried killing himself. He must have wanted to join Arthur and his loved ones in the afterlife, but couldn't. I'm sure Merlin realizes at some point that he doesn't only live forever, but keeps coming back to life even if he dies.
So, in conclusion - Merlin is doomed to stay alive as long as it takes for Arthur to rise. He will age but he will not die, waiting thousands of years if he has to. When Arthur died, their destiny wasn't fulfilled - the magic hadn't returned to the land and Albion wasn't united. And until that happens, Merlin and Arthur won't be together. But when someday Arthur rises, they meet again upon Earth, and when they have completed their destiny together just like they were supposed to, then Arthur can finally draw Excalibur from its sheath and give Merlin the only weapon that can kill him and make them both be finally together - in death. The two halves will once again be whole. Their destiny will be fulfilled, and this time Arthur can take Merlin with him to Avalon, now that Merlin can finally die for good.
And that, my friends, is in its all sadness, quite a beautiful ending to their story.
Fascinating read, except I had seen that the writers/producers/whoever stated that it was supposed to be Freya's arm...

It is a 16 team league and I have 15 managers.
The draft will be at the end of August, and it is a snake draft. The point system is the standard system that is used for most leagues. There is only one spot left (as I said in the title) so it's first come first serve. It is on ESPN, so if you don't have an account you would need to make one.
If you want in just give me your email and I'll send you the invite.

I will be a guest on Red Maryland Radio tonight discussing Gov. Martin O'Malley's new tax proposal that would possibly result in a tax on blogs in Maryland.
The targets of this proposed tax are Apple and Amazon pretty obviously. However, the Baltimore Sun might be collateral damage if the legislation becomes law.
Others have also blogged about this.
Governor Martin O'Malley has really done it this time. Not only has he used Obama's stimulus slush fund as an excuse to raid the state's transportation fund resulting in massive budget deficits. Not only has he chased businesses and hundreds of jobs out of the state with his abhorrent tax policies. Not only is he making gasoline and alcohol more expensive. Not only has he hamstrung rural Maryland economies with his United Nations approved, junk-science "sustainable development" PlanFairyland.
Robert Stacy McCain writes in a post entitled "Maryland Governor Martin O'Malley Is a Stupid, Dishonest and Incompetent Swine":
Frankly, however, the best argument for staying in Maryland now is inertia. We've lived in this house for seven years, and the mere thought of having to pack everything into a moving truck — my office library alone would take days to pack — is enough to give me a headache.
Nevertheless, O'Malley's lamebrain Internet tax might make me do it. Because in all likelihood, as we witnessed in California last year, if the state tries to tax online sales, Amazon will pull out, and I need that Amazon money.
This past year, I finally figured out how to promote Amazon sales the way they should be promoted, and my commissions on associates sales during the Christmas holiday season exceeded $1,000 a month for the first time. Maybe some people don't think $1,000 a month is a big deal, but for an independent blogger like me, that was a spectacular financial windfall. And if that corrupt idiot swindler O'Malley causes me to lose that income, I'm outta here.

Built on a wispy premise better suited to the realm of TV, The Pagemaster plays like a slickly produced afternoon special.
A pallid film framed at the start and finish by live action and mostly composed of cheap-looking animation.
This clever, often engaging, and always fast-paced motion picture uses the visual medium to encourage its viewers to reach out with their imagination.
The film rests on its initial ingenuity and fails to develop the concept in interesting or surprising ways.
If you're looking for a movie that may inspire your children to read, ignore this one and lay your money down for The Princess Bride or The NeverEnding Story.
a nice starting point for an important conversation with your child about why so many cartoons think children are stupid.
The Pagemaster's problems can be easily traced back to the screenplay, which simply lacks anything remotely resembling wit.
In this age of technology, a not-so-subtle plug for a classic method of mental stimulation comes as a pleasant surprise.
Audience Reviews for The Pagemaster
Not a great or horrible movie! The beginning of this movie is excellent with tremendous sound and some nice humor, but once the film changes into animation it quickly loses its appeal. However, although this film is mostly disappointing, not all is lost. The story, for all its flaws, wastes no time in getting started, and there is a certain nostalgia surrounding the film for the endless stream of, mostly mediocre, but still harmless, cartoons of the 90s, when computer-generated animation was yet to be exploited. Overall, just not memorable enough or able to compete with the great animated films of the last dozen years.
This is the story of a young boy named Richard Tyler, who finds shelter from a storm inside a nearby library. Tyler slips and is knocked unconscious while exploring a rotunda in the library. Upon awakening he is led on a journey through conflicts and events that resemble fictional stories, keeping him from finding the exit from the library.

Like "A Troll in Central Park", "The Pagemaster" is a family movie that most will hate, but I actually like. I like the lesson, I like the characters and I like the plot. The humor wasn't funny, but apart from that it was good.
Like always, we start with the bad. This movie had WAY too many book puns. What's worse? They weren't even funny and they got old VERY quickly. It would have been a better movie without them.
Still this movie had good. It has a good lesson, that kids should face their fears and that when they do, they'll come out stronger. Kids will never apply it, but it's a good lesson.
The main character is someone you can really root for. He's a nerd and a coward, but he has a lot of potential too be something more. You'll be rooting for him the whole way.
The books were very interesting characters too, and Whoopi Goldberg did a great job as Fantasy. "Adventure" did a nice job too.
Finally, the plot was very original. I think it's good that hollywood is getting kids too read. This is a very good introduction to some of literature's greatest classics.
Overrall, a pretty good film. Not great, but good.

In this article, I'm going to share a website which will help you to conjugate any verb in French.
When I taught you the personal pronouns in French, I take the example of the verb faire (to do) conjugated in the present. When I taught you how to use the future, you learned the conjugation of the verb aller (to go) in the present.
Like in English, there are several tenses for each verb: the present, the future, the past etc… I don't think I'm going to list all verbs in all the tenses on this blog. We will probably see together several verbs, used in several tenses, but it's difficult to enumerate all the possibilities of verbs and tenses.
One of the reason is that there are some tenses that are useless in the oral form of French, so you can avoid to learn them in the first time.
If you have a doubt on some verb, you can use: vatefaireconjuger.com. Actually, I think the name of this service is a kind of joke, because the expression "va the faire" is the beginning of an insult in French. Don't use this expression!
The website is very easy to use. You enter a verb, a list of most used verbs is available below, and you click on "Conjuguer". The verb is then conjugated in all tenses. As the interface is in French, you know that this website can also be used by French people when the have some doubt on a verb.
Unfortunately, there is not the pronunciation for the results. If you are interested, I can tell you what is the pronunciation with Skype or in an audio file.
What verb you would like to learn and to know how to pronounce it ?
Tell me in a comment below so that I can help you.

We have very little information at this point, but gunshots have been heard in Watertown Massachusetts.
Emergency and military vehicles are driving through downtown Watertown.
Stay with us as we work to bring you more details on this still developing story.
Police have shut down the entire city of Boston while they continue to hunt for the second Boston Bombing suspect.
We have a breakdown of all the details for you, starting from last night when investigators first released pictures of the suspects.
Stay with 9&10 News online and on the air for updates on this still developing story.
1:23 PM UPDATE: Police are still looking for 19 year old Boston bombing suspect, Dzhokhar Tsarnaev.
The FBI is currently at a northern New Jersey home, where they say the suspects' sister lives.
Police have blocked off the building.
Police say the woman, speaking through a crack in the door, told them she has not been in frequent touch with her brothers and that they are smart, great people and she does not know what got into them.
She also says she is sorry for all of the people who were hurt.
The FBI is asking people and families affected by the Boston Marathon bombings to contact the Victim Assistance Call Center at 1-800-331-0075.
The Office of Victim Assistance provides emergency assistance, compensation, and counseling to victims of domestic and international terrorism.
8:25 AM UPDATE: Police have identifies the dead Boston Marathon bombing suspect as 26 year old, Tamerlan Tsarnaev. He died overnight in an exchange of gunfire with police.
Much of Boston is on lockdown as authorities search door to door for his brother and second suspect, Dzhokhar Tsarnaev.
7:00 AM UPDATE: Police reveal the suspect (suspect Two) still on the run is 19 year old Dzhokhar A. Tsarnaev.
Both suspects are believed to be brothers from Russia.
They killed an MIT police officer, injured a transit officer in a firefight and threw explosive devices at police during their getaway attempt in a long night of violence that left Suspect One dead and Tsarnaev still at large.
UPDATE: Boston Police have confirmed one of the two suspects in the Boston Marathon bombings is dead this morning.
Right now, a massive manhunt is underway for the second suspect. Police say the one on the loose is the one in the white hat shown in surveillance footage from the bombings.
This all started to unfold after someone killed an MIT university police officer on campus late last night.
Shortly after that shooting, police and the National Guard converged on Watertown, just outside of Boston.
Police say the suspects threw explosives from a car as police followed them into the area.
That's where suspects and the police exchanged gunfire. One of the suspects was hit and died at the hospital.
Police say the suspect on the loose is a "terrorist" who "came here to kill people."
Northern Michigan's News Leader is closely watching a developing situation outside of Boston this morning.
Around 1:30 this morning, police and the National Guard converged on the area in Watertown with guns drawn.
There are reports of shots fired and explosives going off.
Police were telling people at the scene to turn off their cell phones.
They are searching for suspects. One person was arrested at the scene.
A short time before all this unfolded in Watertown, someone shot and killed a university police officer on the campus of MIT.

In light of last season's arrests and injuries, we employed a karma thread to please the sports gods. As the 10-win season can attest, it seems to have worked. Now, in light of Elvis Fisher's season-ending knee injury and the Yahoo! Miami investigation sucking Frank Haith into its vortex, this cannot wait until late-August. IT IS TIME TO CONFESS YOUR SINS.
1. I cried a little at the end of last year's Mizzou-Oklahoma game.
2. For a photoshoot you don't know about just yet, my wife totally put some makeup on my face to cover up a couple of zits.
3. I've been gravitating toward the pink clothing when we go shopping for Lil' Baby C.
4. Thanks in part to all the writing, I'm pretty sure I'm at my mid-season football weight, if you get my drift. Bad, since a) football season hasn't started yet, and b) aren't you supposed to gain some weight when you become a parent?

Singled Out: "If They Can Say 'Beat The P*ssy Up,' Then I Can Say 'Throw That D*ck'
Tuesday, Jul 24, 2012 12:15AM
[SOHH highlights a hot record each week and offers a unique look at the track in Singled Out. After videographers DGainz and A Zae discussed the "I Don't Like" visual, rapper/singer Hazel-E discusses how she managed to snag Teairra Mari and Diamond for her new "Throw That D*ck" anthem.]
"Throw That D*ck" came about because DJ Mustard out here in California, who did the tracks for Tyga, sent DJ Carisma the track for my Girl Code mixtape. So when I got it, I was actually throwing a tattoo party at my house because I love the tattoo life and we were over there and I don't know. We just started saying, "Throw that d*ck! Throw that d*ck!"
Teairra Mari, who is singing on the hook, started singing and I started rapping verses and we reached out to Diamond, she got on board and then you had "Throw That D*ck."
I laid my part, Teairra laid her part and we sent it over to Diamond and she laid her part. We mixed it all down, hit Miami for my birthday weekend together and we all just hung out in L.A. We're about to get ready to shoot a music video for it because off the Girl Code mixtape, it seems like the track that's getting the most recognition.
So we're like, "Maybe we should go ahead and shoot a video," we thought about throwing Lola Monroe [on it] because that's the other homie. She signed to Wiz [and we want her] on the last verse, like a remix, and try to do some "Ladies Night" stuff again. It's all about the new chicks coming together, throw that d*ck!
I wanted to make a ratchet record. In LA, they've got that 'Beat The P*ssy' record. And if they can say 'Beat The P*ssy Up,' then I can say 'Throw That D*ck.' Why can't I say that if they can say beat the p*ssy up? I want to just catch the wave with all of my females.
With the streets buzzing and great projects on the horizon, HAZEL-E's future in entertainment is strong and steady on the rise. Recently, the pop-diva was featured in the New York Post: Page Six for her star studded birthday bash, "Lifestyle Of A Valley Girl Vol. IV" at Dolce in Miami Beach, Fla. "I want to be #1 on all pop charts, I want a Grammy, Billboard, AMA, MTV and a BET award. I want to be multi-platinum, I want to be a major staple in pop culture!" says the song bird-lyricist of her ambitions.
Check out "Throw That D*ck" below:
