Dumb/uneducated things your dr has said
I was just thinking about this reading the post about someone's Dr. telling her that cloth diapered babies always have rashes. I had a Dr. a while back with my first child that told me at 9 months that I needed to stop breastfeeding soon or it would be detrimental to my son's psyci (sp?) and he would want to have sex with me. They gave me a whole folder of Freudian research that said this. I never went back. They couldn't have possible graduated from medical school. Perhaps they got their degrees through the mail. I wonder how many people they've convinced to stop breastfeeding.

Re: Dumb/uneducated things your dr has said
our old pediatrician told me i had defective bm.
i was stupid and believed what she said, and started giving my son formula at 2 weeks old, got pregnant again shortly after and was so scared of my "defective" bm that i didnt even pump or attempt to nurse my 32 week preemie....
my son had lost 2 lbs in the first week he was alive, come to find out...she missed all the signs and he has cystic fibrosis....
we have switched docs.

Re: Dumb/uneducated things your dr has said
My disclaimer on this post is that I LOVE my doctor, his family and mine are friends, so I can rib him when he says things like this:
When my newborn wasn't gaining enough weight, well, he knew better then to tell me to switch to formula. I asked him if he thought I had a Fore milk / Hindmilk imbalance. He said, what is hindmilk?
This not only coming from a doctor, but a man who's wife breastfed their three children until 18 months old!

pedi that we saw for a checkup after hospitalization where ds had to wear sposies and he had a rash: "disposable diapers do not cause diaper rash"-he said this as he rolled his eyes when he was wearing a cd.
doctor when my son was diagnosed with type 1 diabetes "your son has diabetes because he isn't fully vaccinated" I asked her where that diabetes vaccine is and she left I saw her the next time he was in the PICU and she just walked away and said "he doesn't belong here"-biotch!

Re: Dumb/uneducated things your dr has said
Wow, those are crazy doctor stories! Those doctors need to go back to school.
The worst our ped has done was tell me that my DS needed to have 3 full meals a day at 6 months (of solids). I, of course, ignored her and kept breastfeeding and feeding bits of solids here and there.

Re: Dumb/uneducated things your dr has said
When DS was 1 month old, we saw a NP instead of one of the MDs (I didn't think there was a difference for a well visit). Well, she freaked out on us when I told her that I had the baby in bed with me, and DH had slept on the couch a few times so that he could get some sleep (I was on maternity leave and he was working). She said that "co-sleeping is the #1 cause of divorce in new parents," and went on and on about how I am going to kill my baby and kill our marriage. She said that by the time the baby was 2 months old, he should be in his own crib in his own room. Needless to say, I made sure never to see her again.

Re: Dumb/uneducated things your dr has said
My dr has never said anything crazy to me. He promotes breastfeeding, he cloth diapers his babies, he encourages finding alternative treatments rather than pharmaceutical meds. He takes a very laissez faire approach to a lot of things which means he isn't Rx happy. He will call you back on the phone and talk for hours until he answers every single question. He loves large families. When he gives a diagnosis he presents you with all the treatment plans available and encourages you to choose the one you are most comfortable with and then supports that decision even if it isn't HIS first choice. He's amazing.
However, my sister lives in south Georgia and her doctors are all morons in my opinioin. First her midwife told her in the hospital after her first child was born that she needed to pump and empty her other breast after nursing or the milk would stagnate and make the baby sick at the next feeding. Then her ped told her that her baby was allergic to her breastmilk. The baby was vomitting all the time. He told her this even after sister told him they had been feeding the baby grape juice, applesauce, and formula mixed with baby food from a bottle at 2 weeks old. And his explanation for the vomitting was breastmilk allergy. Then he told her not to even try regular formula because since she was allergic to formula as a baby that her baby would be too and she should start him on soy. Then when she got engorged from breastfeeding the midwives told her to pump frequently and for longer periods of time. Her son had a buried penis thanks to a too tight circumcision but the ped told her he'd never even heard of that and it was normal. I think they're all crazy down there.

Re: Dumb/uneducated things your dr has said
Let me start off by saying I definitely want one of those diabetes vaccines!
We had to visit one of the othre Dr.s in our ped group for a diaper rash. I was sure it was a yeast rash (thanks to all of you DS mommas and the monostat cream actually worked) but I still wanted to get DS checked out before we headed oot for Thanksgiving. This guy had never seen a cloth diaper before and told me the rash was not yeast but a nickel allergy from the "metal' snaps in the diaper. I thought this guy is an idiot because the snaps were plastic and I had just told him the only thing that has worked was the Monostat cream. We ended up leaving with tons of yeast cream samples and a Dr. telling me he did not think it was yeast but here you go anyway. His professional opinion was that the plasticy diapers covers were causing a chaffing rash. I should have taken DS in a pinned flat and wool!
The first ped I saw 4 days after DS was born could not believe that a baby could be completely nourished by breastmilk. She had even breastfed her child! She practically begged me to take 6 cans of "free" formula home with us. We never went back!!

Re: Dumb/uneducated things your dr has said
Wow! I'm amazed at these drs.! DD's ped right now is AWESOME, very much into the natural thing, loves a 3 year old still nursing, (yes, even while mommy is preggo!) and never ever prescribes antibiotics. But, before we found out about him, we went to three different peds, who were terrible.

Re: Dumb/uneducated things your dr has said
Oh I forgot about something. There is one female doctor in my ped's practice that I will never go back to. I didn't circumcise my boys. The first time I took my first ds in for a checkup and saw her she took off his diaper and proceeded to try to force back his foreskin and made him bleed. I grabbed her by the arm and said what do you think you are doing? She said you have to force it back and clean up under it. I said no you don't the foreskin isn't retractable until they are older and forcing it will cause problems. So she looks at me and says I don't have a problem with people not circumcising their boys as long as they take care of it and walked out. I went up to the front desk and told them none of my children would ever be seeing her again. I was livid.

Situation report update, 21 October–10 November 2014
The humanitarian situation continues to deteriorate in parts of Iraq and reports of internal displacement of populations is complicating provision of health services. The latest International Organization for Migration's displacement tracking matrix identified 1 898 844 internally displaced individuals dispersed across Iraq, representing an increase of 145 542 individuals since the end of September. Dahuk governorate currently hosts the largest number of IDPs. More than 450 000 displaced individuals are seeking refuge across its four districts of Sumel, Zakho, Dahuk and Amedi, accounting for 24% of the overall IDP caseload.
In light of rapidly changing weather conditions in the country, and in particular, in the Kurdistan region, WHO and its health partners have developed a comprehensive winterization response plan to address the needs of displaced families. Additional financial support of US$ 23 million is needed to enhance health delivery capacity during the winter season.

Jim Bob & Michelle Duggar: Still Hoping For Baby #20!by Free Britney at . Comments
Following the miscarriage of their 20th child in December, reality stars Michelle and Jim Bob Duggar say they haven't given up the dream of having baby #20.
"We would love another gift if God saw to it," Michelle Duggar said about the couple's hopes that she could have another baby. "We'll take more children!"
Michelle miscarried Jubilee Duggar (they named and held a memorial service for the fetus) last year, which will be depicted on TLC's 19 Kids and Counting.
"Whatever blessing God wants to give us we'll be thankful for," she said in a clip from Tuesday's season premiere. "We would be so happy with another child."
Michelle said all of the family members dealt with Jubilee's death differently, but she was especially touched by the way little Jordan, 2, interacted with her.
"We told her that Jubilee had died and was with Jesus and she would come up and pat my tummy and say 'Baby Jubilee gone but she's with Jesus.'"
"She was understanding it as best as she can."
Should the Duggars try for a 20th baby?
It is no ones business but theirs how many children they want to have. It is a free country. They are not looking to the government for a hand out. They are supporting their own children and doing a wonderful job. The children are all well taken care and are happy kids. I wish them the best.
I'm sure the Duggars are wonderful parents, but I do think if they want that many children, it would be better if they adopted kiddies who need a home. There are so many deserving children in bad circumstances not just babies, but older kids. No one needs 20 children of their own in this day and age. Instead of giving life, get a life and make a life better for a child in need.
PS...below message is for emetib...forget add it as a prefix.
Yes, the story....I think I do know the story. I think I read the nasty comments you were receiving. I have to admit those were very unkind. BW is quite rude. Where are you battling her now? I mean...here or another place? Question is....how many usernames are you using? And is your "friend" putting their username backward now? By the way, just curious...do you like the Lakers???
Only one word for these people and that is IDIOTS, they keep having children to keep the show going, it is so obvious and so unfair to the teenage girls!
Michelle and Jim Bob Duggar are very loving parents. They raise their children to be loving to others and to have morals and values. They have raised wonderful children that are caring, loving people. They treat others in a kindly manner. They are a wonderful family that are supportive of each other. They are people that help those in need. They help willingly and don't complain. They have helped friends build an addition on their home, helped out at a mission to prepare and serve food, have gone on missions to help those in need and helped out doing search and rescue after a tornado. These are good people that are raising good people. They live their life in love and not hate. They are doing a wonderful job!
There is something wrong with both of these people but look at his body language like he makes very sure she says the right thing and she can barely speak because she seems to me very weak but that is the way I feel.
Sorry, but there is DEFINITELY something very wrong with these two!
@Splashnymph....lol. I actually am trying to find the right name. I had the same username forever. One day someone took their comments way, way, way too far. The person stalked me on different sites. I woke up in a bite me kind of mood. If you know the other backward name then you know the story. Anyway, sorry....rambiling.

Matt MacGillivray/CC BY 2.0. The resplendent quetzal faces increased competition from other birds and drier habitat due to global warming.
You might think birds, of all animals, could just pick up and move if their environment changes in a way not to their liking, but global warming poses a very real threat to the avian world: Scientists say climate change is likely to drive up to 900 bird species into extinction by the end of the century unless additional conservation measures are taken.
Tropical bird species are particularly vulnerable because they are adapted to living in a stable climate, where temperatures do not vary wildly throughout the year, according to Çağan Şekercioğlu of the University of Utah, the lead author of "The effects of climate change on tropical birds," a scientific review of some 200 separate studies published recently in the journal Biological Conservation.
100-500 More Extinctions For Each Degree Of Warming
Surface warming of 3.5 degrees Celsius — the middle range of theIntergovernmental Panel on Climate Change's latest estimate — by the year 2100 "may result in 600-900 extinctions of land bird species, 89 percent of which occur in the tropics," Şekercioğlu and his co-authors Richard Primack and Janice Wormworth write. "Depending on the amount of future habitat loss, each degree of surface warming could lead to approximately 100-500 additional bird extinctions."
caspar s/CC BY 2.0. A red-capped manakin. Some manakin species in Brazil could lose up to 80 percent of their habitat.
The new article, which updates previous research from 2007, looks at different categories of birds (such as "aquatic birds in the tropics," "arid zone species," and "birds in human-dominated landscapes") to assess which will be the most affected by climate change. It also examines how global warming compounds other threats, including habitat loss, hunting, invasive species, pollution, and disease.
Habitat Loss Dramatically Compounds The Problem
"[I]n some cases habitat loss [from agriculture and development] can increase bird extinctions caused by climate change by nearly 50 percent," Şekercioğlu says, calling for further research to be conducted, degraded habitat to be restored, and more land to be protected.
It's not just birds that are at stake. "Farmers, hunter-gatherers, nomadic herders, and others, especially in less developed countries, depend on a healthy environment, and birds are important for ecosystem services like seed dispersal and insect control," The New York Times points out in an article about the study.
And as Şekercioğlu told the paper: "If this is happening to birds, and they can migrate, then for other organisms, it's going to be worse."

Dick Vermeil has decided that he wants to return to the Eagles as head coach and general manager, and he plans to meet today or tomorrow with owner Jeffrey Lurie to see if a deal can be struck, two sources close to Vermeil said last night. Lurie, who has been courting the former Eagles head coach for weeks, was expected at the Eagles offices at Veterans Stadium sometime today after returning from a Florida vacation and from completing the purchase of a house in the Philadelphia suburbs.

The agreement of sale has already been reviewed and approved by senior NFL executives and could be signed as early as tomorrow or Friday, pending Braman's final approval of minor financial items, the sources said.

By S.A. Paolantonio, INQUIRER STAFF WRITER
At about 2:45 a.m. on Wednesday, sitting in a hospitality suite at Turnberry Isle Resort in luxurious Aventura, Fla., about 10 miles north of Miami, Eagles owner Jeffrey Lurie rose from his chair to shake the hand of Ray Rhodes. Rhodes, a stout man of few words except when it comes to the game of football, looked at Lurie for a moment and then surveyed the room. His inquisitors were all there - Lurie and his wife, Christina; Jeff Auerbach, Lurie's Hollywood buddy, who runs the Eagles' business operations; and Joseph Banner, Lurie's boyhood chum and cautious alter ego. These four NFL neophytes had just spent nearly four hours questioning a man who had spent all of his adult life in the insular, fraternal world of pro football.
Eagles Are First In Nfl To Sign Top Draft Choice Harris' 5-year Deal Is Worth $5 Million. ``you Don't Nickel-and-dime Your Family,'' Jeffrey Lurie Said.
June 11, 1997
By Phil Sheridan, INQUIRER STAFF WRITER
Jeffrey Lurie reached up to put an Eagles cap on first-round pick Jon Harris. The power forward-size defensive lineman from Virginia, who signed a five-year contract yesterday, bowed slightly to meet his new employer halfway. "I feel like David Stern at the NBA draft," Lurie said. The owner's good humor was understandable. Not so long ago, the signing of an Eagles first-round draft choice was more likely to take place in August, after weeks of rancorous public posturing. Now, the only posing was for the photographers assembled at the Veterans Stadium news conference.
Eagles' Suitor Won't Jilt Fans, Financial Adviser Says Ed Rudman Advises Movie Producer Jeffrey Lurie. He Says Lurie's Money Can Deliver A Winning Script.
March 31, 1994
By S.A. Paolantonio and Tim Panaccio, INQUIRER STAFF WRITERS
Don't fret, Eagles fans. When he buys the team for $185 million, Hollywood producer Jeffrey Lurie will have plenty of money left to invest in players, facilities and the front office to keep the Eagles a strong force in the highly competitive NFC East. That's what Lurie's Boston-based financial adviser, Ed Rudman, said yesterday, confirming that the sale of the team by Norman Braman, a Miami car dealer, was imminent. "The people of Philadelphia will not have to worry," Rudman said.
Why Value Of Nfl Teams Is Increasing Jeffrey Lurie Paid $185 Million For An Eagles Organization Reportedly Valued At $170 Million.
April 10, 1994
By Jeff Brown, INQUIRER STAFF WRITER
How much is a pro football team worth? The bottom line, of course, is that it's valued the same way everything else is: It's worth what people are willing to pay for it. So if film producer Jeffrey Lurie wants to ante up $185 million for the Philadelphia Eagles, $25 million more than has ever been paid for a football team, maybe that's what it's worth. A cool $185 million may seem like an awful lot of money, but people who study the business side of professional sports franchises say values have been moving up fast, and will continue to do so. "Values are clearly moving in that direction," said Timothy Mueller, the director of sports-industry consulting for the KPMG Peat Marwick, the consulting and accounting firm.
Gamble Resigns To Take Nfl Job The Eagles President Played A Lesser Role After The Sale Of The Club Last Year To Jeffrey Lurie.
March 31, 1995
By S.A. Paolantonio, INQUIRER STAFF WRITER
Eagles president Harry T. Gamble, who joined the team as a volunteer coach in 1981, resigned yesterday to become coordinator of football operations and club relations for the NFL in New York. Gamble, who watched somewhat uncomfortably as his role and responsibilities were reduced dramatically under owner Jeffrey Lurie, said he was looking forward to his new duties - even if it meant commuting daily from his South Jersey home to Manhattan for the first time in his life. "This is really the pinnacle," said Gamble, who will be 65 in December.

"Fading" by Adrianna C.
I stare at the name. I want to open a chat.
There is not one thing I want to do more. I put it off for a while, doing
homework and all that. Finally, I have to. I can sense the
conversation before it happens; opening with a cheerful "hello" on my end and a
halfhearted "hi" on yours. It's my turn now, so I ask how you are.
You say "fine", and I know you aren't but that's the polite thing to say.
Then you ask me, so I say the same thing. We are polite, but the gap
between us is evident.
Now it's your turn so you ask about school. A one word
answer, "good", is all I say. It's a lie, but it's easier. Then to
be nice, I ask you, and you say fine, but I know you're worried about so many
things. Next I ask about your school play. I know it was a couple
days ago, but I couldn't go see it. Would you have cared if I had?
The same answer always applies, and a "fine" is all I get from your end.
Since it really is your turn now, you tell me that your
auditions for the next play are tomorrow. I say "good luck", and you say
"thanks". It's like a little battle, who's going to break first? I
know how it ends. It's how it always ends. Another unoriginal
excuse to leave, and another wall built between us. I know it's not true
and you know I know it's not true, but the silence can get so loud. I
don't want to face it for another second. We're miles away, but the miles
are slowly being filled with brick.
It shouldn't have to be this hard. I shouldn't have to
fight everyday to love you. Our conversations do not have to be filled
with awkward silence and polite small talk. You are my best friend.
We shouldn't be lying or hiding. You were the one who knew who I was
crushing on before I did. You gave me makeovers daily, but told me I was
pretty without them.

The Brashear Suspension
by PuckStopsHere on 04/30/09 at 02:03 AM ET
Comments (0)
When I commented on Daniel Carcillo's suspension, I assumed that suspensions would get harder to come by as the playoffs went on. This does not seem to be the case yet. In fact Donald Brashear of the Washington Capitals was suspended for six games after two altercations in game six of the Caps series with the New York Rangers. During the pre-game warm up, Brashear shoved Colton Orr of the New York Rangers. For this he was suspended for one game. Orr was a healthy scratch in the game, so nothing further occurred between the two of them. In the game he gave a late hit to the head to Blair Betts. The hit came from behind so Betts was taken by surprise by it and suffered a broken orbital bone (the bone surrounding the eye). For the hit, Brashear was suspended for five more games giving him a total of six games in his suspension.

Second Round Playoff Predictions

The first round of the NHL playoffs is over and my predictions came in 5-3 which isn't too bad. It is time to look at the second round match-ups.
Boston Bruins defeat Carolina Hurricanes Boston has been the team to beat in the East Conference all season. They breezed by Montreal, while Carolina had an epic seven game struggle with New Jersey. The Bruins are the more talented, better rested team and thus the better bet.

The first round of the AHL playoffs is complete. Here is a summary of what happened in the first round series.
Worchester Sharks defeat Hartford Wolf Pack 4 games to 2 Worchester is the San Jose Sharks farm club and Hartford is the New York Rangers affiliate. Hartford took the lead in this series winning the first two games. Worchester required two overtimes to pull out game three and then held on to the final three games. Worcester was led offensively by Riley Armstrong and Dan DaSilva. Patrick Traverse played well on defence and Thomas Greiss was in goal. Hartford's top scorer was defenceman Bobby Sanguinetti, followed by Dane Byers and Dale Weiss. Matt Zaba was in goal.

Pittsburgh's "Key" Player This Season
by PuckStopsHere on 04/27/09 at 02:03 AM ET
Comments (0)
The Pittsburgh Penguins are defending Stanley Cup finalists. Despite that they had a slow start this season that had them out of the playoff race. The slow start even led to them firing their coach. These problems occurred despite having Evgeni Malkin and Sidney Crosby in their line-up. Malkin was leading the NHL in points and Crosby was not too far behind him. The problems were largely tied to a lack of an elite defenceman and poor goal prevention. They were solved when Sergei Gonchar returned from a shoulder injury.
Gonchar only played 25 games for the Penguins this season, but it was in those games that Pittsburgh climbed back up to serious contention. Gonchar continued his top play into the playoffs scoring five points in six games. He scored the series winning goal against the Philadelphia Flyers,

Playoff Ice Time Leader
by PuckStopsHere on 04/26/09 at 03:22 AM ET

The leader in ice time (per game) so far in the playoffs is Paul Martin of the New Jersey Devils. He has played over 27 minutes per game. He is an underrated player who gets little written about him, so I thought I would write something. Martin has quietly developed into the best defenceman on the Devils team.
Martin consistently scores thirty or more points a season and puts up one of the better +/- ratings on his club, while playing against some of the top offensive players in the league. He has the best defenceman on the team with the fourth best defence in the league this year. He is the Devils go to guy in all situations - even in the playoffs. Paul Martin is one of the most unsung players around in the NHL today.

San Jose's Disappearing Offence
by PuckStopsHere on 04/25/09 at 02:02 AM ET
Comments (0)
One of the stories of the first round of the playoffs has been the struggles of the President's Trophy winning San Jose Sharks. They are currently losing to the Anaheim Ducks three games to one. The main reason for this is that the San Jose offence has not succeeded in the playoffs this year. The Sharks have only six goals in four playoff games and have been shut out twice. The Sharks only have three goals from their forwards in four games. Ryane Clowe, Jonathan Cheechoo and Patrick Marleau have each scored one goal each. No other forwards have goals. Obviously that isn't good enough.
A lot of the blame for this is being placed upon the shoulders of Joe Thornton. Thornton is the team's regular season top scorer and while he has two assists, he has no goals in these playoffs. He has no history of successful playoff runs in his past. In his career he has never made it beyond the second round.

Chris Osgood And The Playoffs
by PuckStopsHere on 04/24/09 at 02:13 AM ET
Comments (0)
The Detroit Red Wings have been a very successful team in the past several years. They have won four Stanley Cups in the past twelve years. Because of their success many of their individual role players have achieved legacies above the level that their talent level might have predicted. There are no players who fit in this camp more than Chris Osgood.
Osgood is a good goaltender who has had a pretty long career. He has been able to win a lot of games (a team statistic). He has 389 career regular season wins. This ties him for tenth place overall with Dominik Hasek. That coupled with his team's Stanley Cup success is often used as an argument for Osgood one day making the Hall of Fame.

A Cinderella Story
by PuckStopsHere on 04/23/09 at 01:46 AM ET
Comments (0)
It is a popular story in sports when an improbable team makes a run and wins it all. It is also a story that rarely ever happens. This season the team that best fit the Cinderella role was the St Louis Blues. At mid-season it looked like they were in the race for a lottery pick in the draft and they wound up finishing strong and placing sixth in the West Conference. That got them a lot of believers including high profile bloggers such as Puck Daddy (Greg Wyshynski). The St Louis playoff run ended the way a lot of Cinderella playoff runs end. It ended in failure. There is a reason why the team is so improbable to be such an underdog and those reasons almost always win out. Cinderella is left in a field with a pumpkin and a few mice wondering what happened.

Changing Goalies In The Playoffs
by PuckStopsHere on 04/22/09 at 01:45 AM ET
Comments (0)
In general it is a bad thing for plan A to fail and to be forced to change to plan B during a best of seven playoff series. An example of this is when a team has to change goalies in mid-series in the playoffs. Despite this, the last three teams to win the Stanley Cup have all done this. The 2006 Carolina Hurricanes changed from Martin Gerber to Cam Ward, the 2007 Anaheim Ducks changed from Ilya Bryzgalov to Jean-Sebastien Giguere and the 2008 Detroit Red Wings from Dominik Hasek to Chris Osgood. The first team to do this is 2009 is the Washington Capitals who have changed from Jose Theodore to Simeon Varlamov.
Theodore may be a former Hart Trophy winner in 2002, but his career has not gone particularly well since. In the first game of the series against the New York Rangers, Theodore played badly allowing four goals on only 21 shots. He was the main reason Washington lost. In the next two games the Capitals turned to rookie goalie Simeon Varlamov. Varlamov has only six regular season NHL games played. He has succeeded so far in the playoffs. He has stopped 56 of the 57 shots he has faced and sports a playoff leading 0.50 GAA and .982 saves percentage.

Early Playoff MVP
by PuckStopsHere on 04/21/09 at 01:38 AM ET
Comments (0)
Teams have played either two or three games each at this point in the playoffs. I think it is the earliest meaningful point to try to pick an early playoff MVP. I think the clear choice at this point is Evgeni Malkin of the Pittsburgh Penguins. Malkin leads the playoffs in both goals and points with four and seven respectively.
Malkin is carrying on his dominance from a regular season where he won the Art Ross Trophy. His offensive totals have made large jumps every season in his young NHL career (from 85 to 106 to 113 points). If he has another jump like that next season, I think many people will begin to call him the best player in hockey (and some people are already making arguments of that nature).
Malkin is off to a great start in the playoffs so far. Will he keep it up and help the Penguins have a deep run?

Jason Aldean Announces New Album 'Old Boots, New Dirt'
Jason Aldean has a new record coming out, and it's going to be different from anything fans have heard before.
Jason Aldean has a new record coming out, and it's going to be different from anything fans have heard before.
The Musical Instrument Museum (MIM) in Phoenix, Ariz., has unveiled exhibits honoring Johnny Cash and the Carter Family.
Taylor Swift doesn't keep her love for cats a secret -- especially her cats! The starlet uses social media, live TV shows and interviews to profess her love for her furry feline friends, Meredith and Olivia Benson, as is evident in this fun compilation video.
Taylor Swift may be one of the biggest superstars in the
country ... world ... okay, universe, but even she doesn't always feel like she fits in -- and according to her, that should be the least of anyone's worries. In this hilarious outtakes clip from her sensational 'Shake It Off' music video, Swift gives fans an inside look at the production and her take on feeling cool.
Maddie and Tae's 'Girl in a Country Song' pulled out one final win last week, entering into The Boot's Video Shootout Hall of Fame, which means we have three new videos in this week's Shootout.
Tim McGraw is perhaps the greatest country singer of his generation, but he enjoys his privacy and is somewhat guarded when it comes to the details of his personal life. Learn all there is to know about the 'Meanwhile Back at Mama's' singer during this 'You Think You Know Country' episode, including which of his many hits was banned from radio!
Taylor Swift made her mark on the pop world Sunday night (Aug. 24) during the 2014 MTV Video Music Awards. The star sparkled -- literally -- during her first live performance of her new single, 'Shake It Off.'
The ACM Awards are celebrating their upcoming 50th anniversary next year with a commemorative book, 'This Is Country: A Backstage Pass to the Academy of Country Music Awards.'
Glen Campbell was one of country music's first true crossover superstars. Now a documentary about his farewell tour is coming to a limited theatrical run.
Taylor Swift released 'Shake It Off,' the first single from her upcoming album, this week, and at the same time, a fun video for the song. And despite an intentional departure from country music, Swift has received positive reviews ... well, mostly.

On this seven-day trip into one of the richest environments of Central America, led by writer/teacher Hannah Ensor, we use writing to expand our engagement with the world around us, as we build our own senses of what it is to see, hear, feel, notice and even remember.
While much of what we think of as "keeping a travel journal" stops with a cataloging of places, names and sights, this trip allows us to write our way into the experience itself -- not only recording but creating our presence in self and place. Surprise is welcomed into our writing and our experiences as we find our way to the margins of our expectations.
Our home base is La Quinta, a lovely lodge that is part of the homestead and farm of the Gamez-Jenkins family, located in the tropical lowlands of the Sarapiqui region, two hours north of Costa Rica's capital of San Jose. Enjoy characteristic "Tico" (Costa Rican) hospitality. Our hosts are long-time friends of JOURNEYS. The setting is lush and intimate. Comfortable guest rooms offer air conditioning and ceiling fans. Each has a private porch and hammock. Red ginger plants and banana trees bloom just outside the doorways, and gardens full of colorful frogs, butterflies, and tropical birds are footsteps away.
In the near-by nature reserves, we walk the rain forest trails, cross the high swinging bridges and float the waterways in the company of superb naturalist guides. Wild sights, sounds and fragrances abound. Focus wide on the expanse of the jungle canopy. Zoom in on the line of leaf-cutter ants. Distill the orchids and bromeliads from the surrounding abundance of green. Lock eyes with the monkeys. Zip-lining over the jungle canopy is an option.
Writing is both guided and individualized, with experiments in sharing and collaborating. This trip is for writers of all levels.
If you'd like to explore Costa Rica with pen in hand, with others who are likewise inclined, please call. The group will be limited to ten.
Cost includes: Nature activities, cross-cultural activities, hosting and guiding arranged and supported by Journeys International, writing curriculum led by Hannah Ensor; 6 nights accommodation in twin share (singles may be available at extra cost); all meals beginning with breakfast on Day 2 through breakfast on Day 7; Airport transfers. Cost does not include: international air (estimate $550-$800); adventure activities such as zip-lining or rafting; alcoholic beverages; gratuities and personal expenses.
Hannah Ensor is a published poet and essayist and a passionate teacher. A graduate of the University of Michigan with an MFA in Creative Writing from the University of Arizona, Hannah is committed to the creation of place-based, community-minded writing spaces that allow participants room and safety to experiment, expand, and experience themselves as writers. Read Hannah's blog, "Why I Write When I Travel," to learn more about her philosophy.
- Day 1: San Jose arrivalBienvenidos - Welcome - to Costa Rica where wildlife is safe. This Jesu Cristo lizard can walk on water.
You'll be greeted on arrival in Costa Rica's international airport near the capital, San Jose, and transferred to a nearby hotel, reknowned for its extensive gardens. Meet Hannah and the other members of your small group. We'll get acquainted with place and our notebooks in tandem. After checking in with ourselves and with each other about our writing practice for the week, we will settle in for the night.

- Bouganvillea
- Day 2: Via Braulio Carillo N.P. to the Caribbean lowlandsWe love La Quinta where we "read" the weather report on the rock!
As we will each morning, we begin early with some loosening of our minds into our notebooks. After breakfast we depart on our beautiful drive, through the deep-green coffee-covered slopes of Costa Rica's Meseta Central, past the forests of Braulio Carillo National Park, into the fertile Caribbean lowlands. We will enjoy many pauses to write and reflect. With Hannah's guidance, we will begin thinking of place -- in this case the drive -- as collaborator and co-writer.
Our hosts at La Quinta will be waiting to welcome us. "Su casa es nuestra casa." Their home is our home -- for 6 days and 5 nights. Settle into your casita. Learn your way around the property, noting the comfortable corners for writing. Note too the frog walk, butterfly house, caiman pond, herb and vegetable gardens, swimming pool and open-air dining room. Food here is traditional and fresh, prepared with ingredients grown in La Quinta's gardens.
Together we close the day by sharing our day's writing, and spending a few minutes writing on a common theme.

- Days 3-5: Writing our way into SarapiquiVIew through a wide angle at the whole rain forest or zoom in.
We wake early to birdsong, greet the day with our now-familiar writing practice, and enjoy a Tico (Costa Rican) breakfast. In the morning or afternoon, we venture out to enjoy a new nature experience or cross-cultural encounter. The towering jungle canopy and swinging suspension bridge at Tirimbina Nature Reserve, the rushing Sarapiqui River, the unpretentious market town of Puerto Viejo, and the pineapple plantation next door to La Quinta, are fertile grounds for our footsteps and our imaginations. ( If you would like to try an adventure activity such as zip-lining or rafting, there will be a space of time for that, too.)
Time for writing will be both individual and shared, both guided and free. Each day we grow more comfortable with our writing practice and with each other, as we travel through new terrain. With Hannah's guidance, we try our hands at folk tales, mythologies, letter-writing or individualized personal atlases. We experiment with collaboration, sharing ideas and inspiration with each other.

- Day 6: Bringing it all togetherOur writing leader, Hannah.
On this final full day, collaborations and experiments may continue, and there is also a longer stretch of uninterrupted time for individualized, self-guided writing. This is a wonderful opportunity to check in with yourself and with Hannah about your writing and your practice. We come together on the riverside veranda in the late afternoon to read to and with each other. Later, after a delectable final dinner, accompanied by the sounds of the tropical night, we close the evening with group reflective writing.

Real Madrid striker Alvaro Morata arrived in Turin on Friday, as he prepares to finalise a transfer to Juventus.
Morata is scheduled to complete a medical with the Serie A club on Saturday and he made it clear, when he arrived at Turin International Airport, that he expects to sign with Juventus.
The 21-year-old Spaniard has been angling for a move away from the Santiago Bernabeu throughout the off-season.
"I'm very happy to be beginning this new adventure," Morata said.
"I'll have my medical tomorrow morning."
Morata has played 37 La Liga matches for Real over the past four seasons, scoring 10 goals, including eight in the 2013/14 campaign.
But with Cristiano Ronaldo, Gareth Bale and Karim Benzema ahead of him in the striking pecking order at the Santiago Bernabeu, Morata believes he needs a new club to play regularly.
The Spanish striker has also been linked with Bundesliga club Wolfsburg.

April 6, 2014
As an April Fool's Day joke, WWE promoted that they have just released photos for the steamiest edition of Day Off, which normally features divas look sexy and comfortable outside of the arena. Instead, they opted to utilize Fandango, and this picture of him is hilarious.
April 1, 2014
Since she has appeared nude in Playboy magazine before, it should come as no surprise that Torrie Wilson has plenty of naked and topless photos online. This is a really sexy picture of the former WWE diva being topless. She is wearing a bikini bottom, but it is rather skimpy.
March 26, 2014
As a girl that loves showing off her body, it should come as no surprise that Kelly Kelly has some pictures of her floating around the internet wearing just a thong. In this one photo shoot outside of WWE, she wears a sexy little pink thong on the beach. Kelly Kelly has a body that was designed to be on display at all times.
March 21, 2014
In a rather interesting move, Tajiri turned heel during a Wrestle-1 event this week. The decision is noteworthy because he is still scheduled to team up with the Great Muta as a baby face team during Bound For Glory 2014 in a match against James Storm and Seiya Sanada. No word yet on how TNA will handle the situation, but it could just be avoided since most American fans are not regular viewers of Japanese wrestling.
October 9, 2014
While the entire card is far from being finalized, TNA has revealed two matches that will definitely be taking place at the pay per view. In the first match, Samoa Joe, Low Ki and former WCW star Kaz Hayashi will be battling in a triple threat match for the X Division Championship. Seiya Sanada will be teaming with his new on screen mentor James Storm to take on his real life mentor Great Muta and Tajiri.
September 27, 2014
A video of James Storm, where the former TNA World Heavyweight Champion has repackaged Seiya Sanada. Storm promises a revolution, which means that he is bringing a new stable to Impact Wrestling.
August 16, 2014
"Heard Petey Williams retired last night. Such a great talent. Always enjoyed his work and working with him." - James Storm speaks on the surprising retirement of former TNA star Petey Williams
July 6, 2014
The decision to invite members of the Dallas Cowboys to Slammiversary 2014 proved to be quite an effective marketing move, as TNA was able to garner some mainstream media coverage from George Selvie being involved in a segment with James Storm and Mr Anderson. Among those that covered the incident were Dallas Morning News, TMZ, Fox Sports, CBS and a variety of local affiliates.
June 16, 2014
During a recent blog post, Jim Ross was asked what WWE needed to do in order to fix their product. The legendary commentator said that they simply needed to put on a better show and utilize their talents better. He praised Dolph Ziggler as a performer who needed to be push. Then, without solicitation, he praised James Storm and Bobby Roode of TNA.
May 19, 2014
In approximately two years, TNA has reduced the amount of contracted performers by nearly half, going from 60 to 33 during that stretch of time. Dixie Carter and company have been forced to allow performers to leave whenever their contracts expire because they need to become fiscally responsible if they wish to remain in business. Rumor has it that only Kurt Angle, Jeff Hardy, Bully Ray, Samoa Joe, Abyss, James Storm, Bobby Roode and Mr Anderson have big salaries.
May 15, 2014
Earlier this week, news came out that Kurt Angle had been added as a last minute addition to the live events that TNA is holding this upcoming weekend. Word has now come out that the former world heavyweight champion will be teaming up with MVP to take on Ethan Carter and Brutus Magnus. Angle is replacing James Storm and Gunner, who are doing a show in England.
May 2, 2014
Since James Storm and Gunner are heading over to England this weekend to work a big anniversary show over there, Kurt Angle has been added to the TNA live events this upcoming weekend in Wisconsin. The move is designed to help with ticket sales, as Storm is one of the more popular performers on the tour. No word yet on who Angle will be wrestling on these shows.
May 1, 2014
TNA will be doing a couple of live events in Wisconsin this upcoming weekend, but James Storm and Gunner, both of whom are featured regularly on these tours, are not going to be available. The former TNA World Tag Team Champions are heading to England instead to work a big anniversary show for Plymouth Wrestling Alliance.
May 1, 2014
In a bloody I Quit match at TNA Sacrifice 2014, Gunner was able to force James Storm into calling off the match by breaking off a big shard of glass and threatening to jam it into the head of his former tag team partner. A very bloody Gunner refused to quit, even though he took quite the beating.
April 27, 2014
A video from Impact Wrestling of James Storm and Bobby Roode reforming Beer Money in a tag team match against Gunner and Bully Ray. TNA has been toying around with the idea of having Storm and Roode permanently joining forces again.
April 26, 2014
While they both have now established themselves as singles stars, there are talks backstage in TNA of doing a Beer Money reunion. The hope would be that James Storm and Bobby Roode can remain relevant while carrying the tag team division once again. It would help fill the void that is being left by the potential departures of Christopher Daniels and Frankie Kazarian.
April 24, 2014
With so many of their performer contracts expiring this year, TNA officials have been busy with negotiations and signings. The latest person to put pen to paper is Gunner, a rising star in the promotion. With the deal, he is expected to remain with the company for a couple of years, and he is also expected to continue on his push since splitting with James Storm.
April 16, 2014
While the company has recently suffered the loss of AJ Styles and Chris Sabin, it appears that TNA has been able to retain one of their longtime stars. James Storm has signed a new multiple year deal to stick around. The former world heavyweight champion is expected to be given a nice push after he finishes up his program with Gunner.
April 13, 2014
Independent wrestling shows are usually done on the weekends, but a promotion in Tennessee has decided to do a rare one on a Wednesday. James Storm has been booked to be the headliner, and he will be going up against former TNA star Chase Stevens. Crimson, another former TNA star, is also working the event as well, but his opponent has not been revealed yet.
March 26, 2014
Internally, TNA is hoping that they can build up Gunner over the next several months, so that he can become a title challenger for Brutus Magnus and the world heavyweight championship. His program with James Storm and fantastic match at TNA Lockdown 2014 helped increase his credibility in the eyes of the fans. Management will be doing more of that as well.
March 15, 2014
At TNA Lockdown 2014, James Storm and Gunner put on a tremendous show inside of the steel cage. While they were both praised backstage for the match itself, both are receiving individual praises as well. James Storm is being lauded for making his opponent look like a million bucks, while Gunner is receiving words of encouragement because he is starting to look like a star.
March 11, 2014
In a crowd pleasing segment at TNA Lockdown 2014, Gunner was able to secure one of the biggest wins of his career by defeating James Storm in a Last Man Standing match after Storm was unable to get back up from a superplex through two steel chairs.
March 9, 2014
There are talks that James Storm will be having quite a bit role at Slammiversary, which was just recently announced to be taking place in Dallas. The feeling within TNA is that his southern gimmick would be quite the draw for fans in Texas. He is currently engaged in a program with Gunner, and that feud could be escalated into a top tier one by June.

"Get Notifications" Prompt After Liking A Facebook Page Test Has Ended
Yesterday, there was a bit of a hullabaloo around the fact that a user was shown a "Get Notifications" prompt after a page was liked. The text stated "Don't miss updates from PageName" and had a button that allows users to get all notifications.
While it appeared that the prompt may be a new feature that was being pushed live, we confirmed with Facebook that it was just a test, a test that has now ended. A Facebook spokesperson gave us the following statement.
"Confirming it was a test to help people stay up to date with Pages they're interested in; though we're no longer testing it."
So for everyone who began furiously telling fans to try to "Get Notifications" for their pages, have no fear, it was just a test. For now.

Hello, listeners. Perhaps you've been listening to our new spinoff show Serial, which tells one story over the course of a multiple-episode season. If you have, and you'd like to hear a second season, you can help make that possible. This first season has been an experiment, funded by This American Life. But for the show to continue, it has to be financially sustainable on its own. So if you're liking Serial and want it to stay in production, please donate. We're only asking for one week.
Thank you!
