Military Wife Defends Breastfeeding In Uniform Photo
A photograph of two servicewomen breastfeeding in public while in uniform ignited a global debate after popping up on the Internet.
The picture shows Terran Echegoyen-McCabe and her friend Christina Luna, both members of the Air National Guard, breastfeeding while on their lunch break at the Fairchild Air Force Base near Spokane, Washington.
The picture was taken for Mom2Mom, a breastfeeding support group for women who live and work at the base.
Mom2Mom's founder, Crystal Scott says she wasn't expecting the reaction the picture got when it was posted online.
"We went to bed and the next morning, we were getting calls, comments and emails," Scott said.
Although the moms have gotten plenty of support from the online community, they've also gotten negative comments, including one that compares the picture to "urinating or defecating" in uniform.
Meanwhile, both moms and Scott stand by the pictures.
"We've done nothing wrong," Scott said. "We're not disgracing the uniform, we are very proud."
The military has no clear regulations on breastfeeding while in uniform.
However, U.S. law states that a woman may breastfeed her child at any location in a federal building or on federal property.

Morning Brew – Tuesday, August 30: Anna Silk on playing a sexual creature, Candice Accola thinks Evan Rachel Wood is sexy
Hi friends!
Anna Silk talked with Digital Spy about Lost Girl's success, and about her character's bisexuality.
There's some really big Lauren fans out there. I would say they're probably the group that is speaking the most about that relationship on the internet, which I love. Bo's sexuality is not really discussed on the show – she's a sexual creature and she falls in love with both Dyson and Lauren. It's not highlighted as her being bisexual, which I like. I like that that's just how it is, and it's accepted. The Lauren / Bo relationship is such a real relationship, and I think that's what resonated with people.
She also said we'll see more of Bo with Lauren (yay!) and Dyson.
Vampire Diaries star Candice Accola told an interviewer that Evan Rachel Wood's Queen Sophie Ann on True Blood is her favorite on-screen bloodsucker.
She plays that character so sexy and manipulating. A great female vamp.
Agreed! And Candice, you are pretty sexy and manipulating, too.
An Aussie writer made a list of 10 things they learned about lesbians from watching The Real L Word. Number 9: "Lesbians like to drink. Lesbians like to drink a lot. This – combined with all the aforementioned feelings – often leads to very public, very tragic and very incoherent fights at various lesbian parties and bars around the greater Los Angeles area." Great! Glad to have that known about us based on one gaggle of reality stars.
The Lambda Literary Foundation has changed some of its criteria for its annual awards and one of its past judges, Rose Fox, doesn't appreciate the gender and orientation specifications.
Kelly Rowland has created a new workout DVD with Queen Latifah's personal trainer Jeanette Jenkins. Now MediaTakeout is saying KRow must be gay, as Jeanette was rumored to be the Queen's lover. So basically, being seen with Jeanette makes you gay, despite the fact she says she isn't gay at all. Logical.
Rihanna kissed a ladyfriend of hers on a boat in Italy. It was not Jeanette Jenkins, I don't think.
The New York Post says Oprah is really banking on Rosie O'Donnell's OWN show to save the network from sagging ratings. Fingers crossed with you, O!
What did Naya Rivera look like before she was a star? Snackle has her yearbook photo for your viewing pleasure. How cute were Jane Lynch and baby Heather Morris?
Out lesbian Gina Trapani is the creator of Lifehacker, and she's listed on the Huffington Post's 27 Female Founders in Tech to Follow on Twitter.
Lady Gaga answered some questions from the press after the VMAS, and she stayed in character, answering as Jo Calderone. Watch as she answers if she'd ever hook up with Britney Spears.
Today in Lesbianish TV: *The Ellen DeGeneres Show, *Pretty Little Liars marathon (ABC Family 11 a.m.), All My Children (ABC 1 p.m.), *The Talk (CBS 2 p.m.), Pretty Little Liars (ABC Family 8 p.m.), Comedy Central Presents Tig Notaro (Logo 8 p.m.), The Rachel Maddow Show (MSNBC 9 p.m.) and Degrassi (TeenNick 9 p.m.) (Thanks Roni)

Kmart Boxer Commercial: Distasteful or Delightful?by Hilton Hater at . Comments
Kmart is ringing in the holiday season... literally, with a commercial that some Grinches find especially distasteful.
In the spot (for Joe Boxer underwear), six men are dressed in tuxedo tops and revealing bottoms. When they shake their hips, "Jingle Bells" plays… and you can guess on which body part the bells are affixed, can't you?
Facebook users appear torn regarding the commercial, with some saying it's inappropriate, especially for Christmas and others saying to relax - it's hilarious!
Where do you come down?
Is this Kmart commercial distasteful?
Yes, it's inappropriate. I was sitting with a 9 yoa child and a teenager when the commercial came on. It was our first time seeing the commercial. The kids looked at each other and then to me for an explanation. Of course, the teenager laughed and told the smaller children they're ringing their balls. Inappropriate was the first word that came to mind, but the 9 YEAR OLD said it aloud. The child said it was inappropriate. LOL
The talented and hardworking Models are not to blame for this "distasteful or Delightful" commercial. There are far worse things on television and in the media for us to worry about. In my opinion, I find humor in the commercial, to others there may not be any. Let's worry about more important aspects of society.
how come when men are wiggling around in under ware its distasteful but the victoria secrets commercial are fine.....i say thats crap. I think the victoria secrets commercials are far more distasteful than this commercial.
Awesome commercial beats Walmart keep these coming!!!! Live them and is not disgraceful is yo funny. People to to lighten up and have fun and let loose for a while . Happy thanksgiving and Merry Christmas . God bless
Awwww isn't that sweet and to make it politically correct they managed to include a couple of lame'o minority dudes..that no ne wants to see
Logic don't be an ass. That's my brother you are talking about. These boys have worked damn hard to get where they are at. I don't see you on television? So don't knock on the talented because of your daddy issues!!!!
oo really cause you see the one in the red and green yaa thats my brother and he worked so hard on this! you bigot and hes not a freaking minority and every one does want to see him hes amazing! >:(
my brother is in this commercial and worked his but off for it so no its not inappropriate! thanks!

By Susanne Russo
We have all heard that it is important to supply calcium sources, especially when a bird is laying or breeding. The reason why is to provide enough calcium intake to produce a strong, dense shell on the eggs. And to also be a preventative to soft or shelless eggs, which can contribute to egg binding and/or dystocia, impaction or prolapse of the uterus or oviduct.
The most common recommendation is supplying cuttlebone or calcium supplements, and greens or veggies that are rich in calcium. In supplying this we think the bases are covered and aid as a preventative to reproductive problems. Yet have a hen that passes a soft-shelled egg, prolapse or is egg-bound…why?
Most times this is not enough. Several factors can influence the output of calcium circulating in the bloodstream. The calcium is then drawn from the bones while an egg is in the uterus (shell gland).
1…Researching the sources of calcium and other mineral nutrients is very important. High levels of phosphorus in the blood will inhibit the mobilization of calcium from bone. When this occurs this increases the chances of soft-shelled eggs which can lead to impactions and binding.
You can go online to look up on this site which foods (Nutrient lists) are high calcium: http://www.ars.usda.gov/Services/docs.htm?docid=22114
Trace Mineral Dust is an excellent supplement that can be sprinkled on greens/veggie or in a separate dish to supply the nutrients needed for egg laying: http://www.allbirdproducts.com/newproductpages/traceminerals.html Below is a listing of what a shell consists of.
Calcium carbonate: 94-97%
Phosphorus: 0.3%
Magnesium: 0.2%
Sodium, Potassium, Manganese, Iron and Copper: traces
Organic matter: 2%
The small amount of organic matter mostly consists of matrix proteins (mixture of proteins and polysaccharides rich in sulphated molecules) and shell pigment. The matrix proteins are critically important in determining the eggshell structure and serves as foundation for the deposition of calcium carbonate.
The structure of an eggshell when examined under a high-powered microscope will look like a tangled network of mineralized fibers, kind of like looking at the mat in an air conditioner filter. The eggshell is formed around this mat of proteins, which is coated and overgrown by calcium carbonate and other mineral salts. The result is a tough, waterproof package that still allows gas exchange between the inside and the outside, enabling the developing embryo to 'breath', while providing astonishing mechanical strength. The shell has enough calcium carbonate in it. As the embryo gets close to hatch, it can use this reserve to draw calcium into the body and bloodstream for the developing bones.
NOTE: Most greens and veggies contain oxalic acids. These will bind useable calcium from food in the intestinal tract. What you want to do is look for foods that have a higher calcium content than oxalic acid. The useable calcium is the difference between the two. Print out the following tables from both links:
Guinea Lynx ::Oxalic Acid in Selected Vegetables
Guinea Lynx :: Calcium Chart
Once you print out the 2 links above, you will have to look at the listed calcium level in this link: http://www.guinealynx.info/diet_ratio.html Deduct the oxalic acid levels to give you a clearer pix of the calcium to phosphorus (Ca:P) ratios. The calcium to phosphorus ratio should be 2:1. This chart shows calcium to phosphorus ratios: http://www.guinealynx.info/calcium_phosphorus_ratios.html
USDA also has this chart on foods with oxalic acid: http://www.ars.usda.gov/Services/docs.htm?docid=9444
2…Proper lighting plays an important role in good reproductive health of hens. Either available in the form of real sunlight (not filtered thru glass) or from Full Spectrum Lighting (FSL) In simple terms the skin absorbs the UV (ultra violet) rays from the lighting and the body converts it to useable D3, and this in turn aids the uptake of useable calcium.
The reason why either access to real sunlight (not filtered thru a window) or Full Spectrum Lighting (FSL) is important is that is that birds absorb the light into their skin. The body converts it to vitamin D3, also known as cholecalciferol. D3 is required in the intestines to help absorb calcium to regulate important blood calcium levels such as the hen is forming the shell in the uterus. Calcium is then drawn from the bones via the blood stream to the uterus (shell gland).
Some Cautions: This form (sunlight or FSL) of vitamin D3 is far safer than supplementing with vitamin D3. Vitamin D3 is a fat-soluble vitamin, which gets stored in the body, and if supplementing in excess this can create a toxicity. It can also contribute to hypercalcemia (too much calcium in the blood) which affects the heart, other organs and contributes to liver toxicosis, calcification of the kidneys and gout.
Therefore when feeding pellets, (they do contain D3 and calcium) you should never give additional supplements that contain (D3) and calcium because the diet is designed to provide what the bird needs.
If feeding a varied diet consisting of pellets (approx 20%) , seed, and fresh greens/veggies then it is safe to provide a calcium source, such as cuttlebone and/or mineral block. FSL and sunlight access are natural forms of sources for D3 and are safer and more easily assimilated than from artificial sources.
3…Preventative water treatments such as ACV (Apple Cider Vinegar) can change the pH in the digestive tract. When the pH is higher than 6.5, absorption of phosphorus markedly decreases. Nutrient absorption occurs through the tiny veins in the digestive tract. If the pH is changed, this in turn contributes to the blood being alkaline and the availability of calcium is in turn reduced. The disturbance of the acid-base balance in the blood results in an increase of soft-shelled eggs, shelless, and rough shelled eggs. If the integrity of the shell has been compromised, this in turn can affect hatchability.
Excess free fatty acids in the diet can cause the pH to decrease and therefore, interfere with calcium and phosphorus absorption. In summary, if the intestinal flora and pH is altered this can cause several problems. If preventative treatments are used it is better to find the cause and correct it.
4…The time of day that a hen lays an egg is also good to know…..
A…If a hen lays during the afternoon or early evening providing higher calcium levels in the gut during this time is important to ensure calcium is being taken from the diet and not bone.
B…Hens that lay in the mornings are at more risk of calcium depletion because food intake and absorption of nutrients/calcium is decreased. Therefore, the body has to draw from the bones. If the bones do not have an adequate store of calcium in the marrow this results in hollow bones which can break or fracture. The most common bones that can be affected are the wings and legs. With the legs, depleted bones will be soft and bow. With wings, as the bird tries to fly the bone may break, and if not noticed right away the bone will knit back together misaligned causing the wings to permanently droop.
Calcium has to be supplied and maintained in the blood levels. Calcium is drawn through the marrow of the bone, which is called Bone Calcium. It is also in the intestines for good utilization while laying. If blood calcium levels are low there is going to be insufficient calcium for shell formation. The bio-available levels can be depleted between 8-18 minutes during the time the egg is in the uterus.
During the last 15 hours of shell formation (when the egg is in the uterus, also called a shell gland), calcium movement across the shell gland reaches a rate of 100-150 mg/hr. This process draws calcium from two sources: diet and bone. Intestinal absorption of calcium in the diet is about 40% when the shell gland is inactive, but reaches 72% when active. This time closely coincides with late afternoon or the dark hours for the laying hen.
5…NOTE: We are warned not to provide sources of sodium to our birds, but many can go to the extremes of eliminating all sources of sodium and this can have an negative effect on a laying hen. The lack of (or deficiency) trace minerals and salt can be contributing factors to soft shelled eggs, and poor uterine muscle tone. This is also true of many birds that die of egg binding. Salt/sodium aids in the muscle contractions. When there is a deficiency there can be a loss of muscle tone to expel the egg. Therefore, in researching on a diet supplying needed calcium, and other trace minerals, try to include sources of sodium.
6…Weigh the hen prior to setting up….When you setup your pair it would be helpful to know the weight of the hen. During ovulation the hen will gain apex. 5-6 grams of weight as the egg travels down the oviduct. If the hen is showing obvious signs of wanting to lay (hunched back, lowered tail, wide stance, swollen abdomen) and no egg is seen after several days of the visible signs, handle her carefully and weigh her. If the weight has increased 10 grams or more it could be an alert to some problems going on inside the reproductive tract.
Scales that weigh in grams are very helpful. You can look at an office supply or go online to search/purchase a scale. Below are some links to some scales available at Amazon.com.
A basic scales that weighs in grams: http://www.amazon.com/EatSmart-Precision-Digital-Kitchen-Silver/dp/B001N07KUE/ref=sr_1_2?ie=UTF8&qid=1303227561&sr=1-2-spell
Or Walmart has a nice inexpensive scales: http://www.walmart.com/catalog/product.do?product_id=11090896&findingMethod=rr
Specialty scales that weigh in increments of grams are also useful. Below are a couple of links. These type of scales can be used for monitoring the weight of eggs or monitoring the weights on babies that are being handfed from day one. For example the average weight of a freshly laid egg is 5-6 grams. As the egg gets closer to hatch it can lose up to 16% in weight. Some of this weight loss is a reduction of fluids that the chick uses for nutrients and loss of shell density as the chick draws in calcium from the sell. If the weight loss is up to 20% and the air cell is taking up a lot of space this is an indication that the egg is losing too much moisture. This can result in the membrane sticking to the chick and preventing it from hatching. In this situation the chick may have to be assist hatched: http://justcockatiels.weebly.com/assist-hatches.html
When monitoring a tiny chick it may be hard to tell if there is any slight gain or loss if the scales weighs in grams.
Scales that weigh in increments of .001 grams:
Scales that weigh in .01 grams: http://www.amazon.com/dp/B002SC3LLS/ref=pe_75840_19589080_pe_epc_t5
Some problems that can occur during ovulation are:
This is an article I am working on that has some helpful info: http://justcockatiels.weebly.com/egg-related-problems.html
Ectopic ovulation is occurs when the infundibulum fails to engulf the yolk (ovian) because of reverse peristalsis of the oviduct, trauma or stress. The yolk misses the funnel of the infundibulum and goes into the abdominal cavity.
If the egg moves too fast (don't know the causes of this) then it does not pick up the yolk but the other steps are done in the uterus it will result in an egg with no yolk. An egg with no yolk will not hatch.
Oviductal diseases that may result from Ectopic ovulation may include infectious salpingitis, rupture of the oviduct, cystic hyperplasia, peritonitis.
Egg yolk peritonitis is most common with cockatiels, budgies, lovebirds, ducks and macaws. Clinical signs include weight loss, depression, respiratory distress, anorexia, and ascites. Abdominal distension may or may not be present.
7…Examining and providing the best sources of calcium does not stop at providing good shell quality.
Hypocalcemia, and Seizures
When keeping and breeding we focus on supplying proper lighting and calcium sources to the hen. The above is just as important to a male. If lacking, the bird would have problems assimilating calcium and a lack of compensatory mechanisms to maintain serum calcium levels, and an inability to mobilize skeletal calcium. Sometimes this can also appear as a vitamin D3 deficiency. When this happens the bird is very prone to having seizures.
A…Hypocalcemia and seizure activity tends to be a problem only with male cockatiels.
Treatment for hypocalcemia consists of calcium (injectable calcium with phosphorus at time of seizure), D3 (preferably exposure to sunlight or full spectrum lighting) and supportive care such as Sub-Q fluids, which will get the blood levels up, and multivitamin injections (must contain Vitamin A and E)
Another thought at the time for seizures was a malabsorption problem. I found this is partially true. Most greens contain oxalic acid. I didn't know this at the time except for spinach which with the calcium and reactions to oxalic acids form calcium oxalates. Stress causes a sudden increased acidity in the GI tract and also upsets the metabolic balance of fluids in the body. Everything is a chain reaction.
I had some birds that had to have a health inspection. One had a seizure in the vets office. He drew blood to have sent out to a lab. I told him to give a Calphosan shot (calcium and phosphorus) because it had worked in the past for me to bring a bird out of it. At the time I had thought it to be a malabsorption problem. Blood calcium and phosphorus levels were real low. Similar to what is seen with African Greys which are also prone to hypocalcemia.
At the time I did not know what exactly was the cause. In reality simple capture increases the heart rate that can trigger a hypocalcemic bird into a seizure because there is not enough calcium in the bloodstream. Some mutations such a cinnamon, fallow and lutino, or splits to these mutations tend to have this problem. Heart rate is increased when trying to get a bird out of the cage, or chasing and netting. But if blood was drawn while the bird has a seizure it would show very low blood levels. The quickest way to bring it out of seizure is injectable Calphosan. or orally with a drop of liquid calcium under the tongue. The injectable calcium rapidly gets the blood calcium levels up.
In regards to your birds many greens are rich in calcium and phosphorus. Researching the nutrient content of foods (1…) is just important to the male.
B…The need for a good source of calcium does not stop at supplying it prior to egg laying. The calcium is drawn into the developing embryo as it grows through the vascular network of blood veins radiating into the body from the yolk. During this time the embryo draws calcium from the shell to strengthen developing bones. If the calcium in the shell is insufficient this can contribute to weaker bones, and problems such as splayed leg, soft flexible leg bones, and/or fractures forming within days after hatch. For good bone growth and strength, these post hatch problems can be avoided by supplying food sources rich in calcium and trace minerals to the feeding parents.
C…Examine any eggs when they are laid. Ideally, what you want to see is a uniform color and smoothness to the shell. If there is any swirling to the shell that looks like alternating bands of pinkish and white this is an indication that not enough calcium was in the body as the shell was being formed. The pale areas of the shell are weaker and can be sources of moisture loss as the developing embryo grows. After piping the chick will draw from the calcium reserves of the shell. If there is insufficient calcium this can be seen by soft areas of the shell collapsing inwards and appearing like large dents. If the shell is compromised and fluid is lost this can also result with a chick trapped in the shell which in turn can cause death if not assisted from the egg. These chicks would also be prone to splayed leg developing early in the nest, or compound fractures as the grow.
If there are deposits of calcium on the exterior of the egg, which appear as gritty lumps adhered to the egg this could be an indication that there might possibly be an infection in the uterus (shell gland)
Small eggs with no yolks
If you candle the small egg you will not see the yellow yolk in it. Many times if the egg is forming in the oviduct the contents of the egg (Region 2 in the Illus.) may have started to move downward in the oviduct before the yolk was dropped into Region 1 If this happens the egg is smaller and does not contain a yolk.
If there has been anything that has stressed the hen during the laying process, or she has not been handled, this may not be the problem. If so, there is a possibility the yolk could have missed entering the funnel in Region 1. If this happens then the yolk will get diverted into the abdominal cavity of the hen.
If you have a scales I would suggest that you weigh the hen now. If a hen is ovulating and prior to laying she will gain approx. 5-6 grams in weight. If there is a problem developing such as egg related peritonitis there would be approx. a 10 gram increase and each day the weight would increase up to 7-10 days as much as 20-30 grams. You do not want to see a weight gain past 6-7 grams prior to laying.
Never handle a hen if you suspect she is ovulating. It could contribute to the following:
1…An Ectopic egg, also called non-septic egg peritonitis, meaning that the yolk got diverted into the abdominal cavity, which can lead to peritonitis.
2…If the forming yolk was ruptured from the movement it could get absorbed into the bloodstream and cause a stroke and/or death.
3…If the egg was in the upper oviduct it could cause a tear in the thin tissue and get diverted to the abdominal cavity.
4…If the egg has gotten as far as the shell gland and the disturbance occurred when the shell was being formed it could have broken, but the shell part would be adhered to the uterus and the nest developing egg would impact on the matter in the oviduct. Several eggs can get impacted 1 on top of the other (broken soft shells stacked up) and contribute to egg-binding or prolapse. In this case the inside of the egg (yolk and white) would be seen on the cage/flight floor.
Having a night light or a low wattage bulb (25-40 watts) on during the night would be helpful and cut down on any panicking during the night. I have learned that when a hen is laying movement, handling, and disturbances need to be kept at a minimum.

OVIDUCT of a Hen: http://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/File:Oviduct-hen.jpg?uselang=en During active laying the oviduct enlarges and occupies much of the left abdomen. The oviduct in birds is divided into several parts:
- · Infundibulum (formation of Chalazae, place of fertilization)
- · Magnum (formation of egg white)
- · Isthmus (formation of the shell membrane)
- · Shell Gland (formation of egg shell)
- · Vagina (formation of cuticula)

Cheap hotels in Avenida da Liberdade, Lisbon
Running between the Restauradores metro station just north of the Estação do Rossio and the Marquês de Pombal metro station, the Avenida da Liberdade is Lisbon's "Grand Boulevard." Lined with pricey shops, monstrous modern office buildings and restaurants, it is a broad and impressive boulevard, quite grand in spots.
Architecturally newer than Baixa (and older than Saldanha) the Avenida is a major artery. As a general rule, the farther you walk from the river along Avenida da Liberdade, the more modern it becomes. Nearby you'll find the lovely Botanical Gardens.
Address Rua Rodrigo Da Fonseca 29 (Avenida da Liberdade)
The Lisbon Dreams Guesthouse is the kind of place we love happening upon—a small, well-priced guesthouse with an artsy flair and communal spirit.
Address Rua Alexandre Herculano, 13 (Avenida da Liberdade)
The Dom Carlos Liberty is a fresh three-star conveniently located along Rua Alexandre Herculano, just to the East of the Avenida da Liberdade.
Address Rua Barata Salgueiro 53 (Avenida da Liberdade)
The two-star Ibis Lisboa Liberdade offers 70 surprise-free rooms at generally low rates minutes from the Maquis da Pombal metro station and Avenida da Liberdade.
Address Avenida da Liberdade Nº 202 (Avenida da Liberdade)
Classy and quiet, the Dom Sancho I is a three-floor pension located along the Avenida da Liberdade. It delivers 40 well-kept rooms ... at a price.
Address Rua Da Glória, 9 (Avenida da Liberdade)
The two-star Hotel Suiço Atlántico currently has a split personality: It offers 95 rooms that are either dated or boutique-y. Either way, it plunks you down near Restauradores Square and the Barrio Alto at a fair price.
Address Travessa Da Glória, Nº 22-A, 1º (Avenida da Liberdade)
Located 20 steps off Avenida da Liberdade up the sloping Travessa da Gloria, the first-floor Residencial Roma offers 28 hotel-style rooms and 12 suites.
Address Praca Da Alegria 12 (Avenida da Liberdade)
Anchoring the leafy Praça da Alegria to the south, the cheery Residencial Alegria offers 35 fresh rooms with bursts of color at very reasonable rates.

Why Stay At Moab Under Canvas
This 40-acre "glamping" site features upscale tents decked out with hotel-like accommodations, along with the usual campground offerings like barbecue pits, access to hiking trails, and wide-open spaces; the small but lively town of Moab is seven miles away.
The Scoop
Located between Arches and Canyonlands National Parks, this outdoor 40-acre "glamping" site includes 13 upscal pre-set tents, elevated bedding, hotel-like furniture, and private bathrooms to eliminate the "roughing it" involved in a typical camping experience. The property also has a dozen smaller, more basic tipis outfitted with cots and sleeping bags. An abundance of public land and hiking trails surround the camp, and the catered breakfasts and picnic lunches provide guests the necessary fuel to feed their wanderlust. After a day of bustling outdoor activity, retire to the barbecue pit, where you can chill while cooking your dinner.
Insider Tips
If you want to eat the catered breakfast, you need to place your order with the staff by 9 p.m. the night before.
Preferred Airport
Arrive at Canyonlands Field Airport (CNY) which is approximately 25 miles from the glamping site. Anticipate about 30 minutes of travel time.13784 North Hwy 191, Moab, Utah, United States

We're back! First Photoshop Friday of 2012!! Lisa Harrison has been showcasing different little tips and tricks, picture plays, photo fixes, tutorials and so much more Fridays here on the blog. Our members are able to submit questions for her and she may choose their question to answer in her post – so fun and a great way to get answers to your Photoshop questions. Blog readers are also welcome to submit questions in the comments section if there's a topic you would like Lisa to cover. You'll have to keep checking back to see what she does next!
For the next Photoshop Friday in two weeks, Lisa will be randomly selecting an image to edit from those submitted in the comments for this blog post. If you have a Photoshop question and want to see how Lisa would edit your image please submit it in the comments below.
In last week's Photoshop Friday, Lisa made a before and after video. One of the comments left was from Gretchen: "Great tutorial! I was wondering how you set up the grid on your crop tool. Would you mind explaining how that was done? Thanks!". Well, Gretchen, ask and you shall receive!
Lisa has created a tutorial to show you how the rule of thirds grid works in Photoshop CS5 and earlier versions as well. You can watch the video here and see how she uses it on the following image:
Lisa Harrison, Vermont
CMU Instructor, CMpro
website | ask a pro
As CM's Photoshop expert, it's only fitting that Lisa is the instructor for the Shooting 104: Intro to Natural Light, Processing 101: Photoshop Fundamentals for Photographers, and Processing 201: Intermediate Photoshop for Photographers workshops. Speaking of her photography journey, Lisa says, "when my son was born I became hooked on photography. I wanted to capture everything I could. When he napped, I read about photography and taught myself photoshop. My husband bought me my first DSLR in 2004 and the rest is history." With her Canon 5d mark III and various lenses, mostly primes, she enjoys lifestyle photography with bright clean processing and natural skin tones but equally loves black and whites. Living in Vermont with her husband, two children, and black lab Lucy, Lisa loves skiing and boating. Family, friends, Starbucks, her camera and computer are among her list of must haves.
Interested in learning more from Lisa? Registration is currently open for her Photoshop workshop so grab a seat while there's still some left!

The only church destroyed in the September 11th attacks is suing the Port Authority in an effort to resurrect their house of worship.
St. Nicholas Church and the Greek Orthodox Archdiocese of America say suing the Port Authority is a last resort in the effort to replace the building that stood at 155 Cedar Street.
The church says the Port Authority abruptly reversed course in 2009 on an agreement to rebuild the church about 100 yards from the original location, in the shadow of the Twin Towers.
St. Nicholas claims the agency has sent bulldozers onto both potential sites and excavated to a point where building right now is impossible.
In a statement, the Port Authority says the church increased its demands following a 2008 agreement and reconstruction at the World Trade Center site would have suffered had the agency not moved on.
In a statement, the agency says, "The Orthodox Church continues to have the right to build a church on their original site, and, as we indicated last December, we remain open to meeting with Orthodox Church representatives, but they have thus far refused to meet, choosing to initiate litigation instead."

Cloudy with a Chance of Meatballs [1] has remained the number one movie in America for the second weekend in a row. This book-inspired movie is a great read for children of all ages. For those who have not seen the movie yet, I invite you to check out the book from the Jacinto City Library children's collection. The author, Judi Barrett, writes about the imaginative town of Chewandswallow "where it rains soup and juice, snows mashed potatoes, and blows storms of hamburgers." Although the movie and the book are actually quite different, the idea behind the two are essentially the same. Have you ever asked yourself what the world would be like if it rained food?

Photos: A ride in the 'Spruce Goose'
Summary: Reporter Daniel Terdiman climbs inside Howard Hughes' boondoggle, the Spruce Goose.
4 of 10Image
Pilot's instruments
The pilot of the Spruce Goose had dozens upon dozens of instruments to control while flying. The co-pilot, on the other hand, had very few, as he was not certified to fly the plane.
The wing of the Spruce was so large that there's a door leading to its interior.
Large Spruce Goose
At the Evergreen Aviation Museum in McMinnville, Ore., Howard Hughes' famous Spruce Goose appears to be markedly bigger than everything else around it.

Help me feed a celeb in Edmonton + Calgary [moved from Canada Board]
Hi everyone,
My work is sending me on a trip across Canada to accompany a celebrity, due to confidentiality issues I can't reveal her name, let's just call her P. Presley.....no wait that's too obvious, Priscilla.P.
Anyways, Priscilla will be in Calgary and Edmonton helping to promote her line of bedwear and I would like to have the names of one two top restaurants in the cities that she would be comfortable eating in.
That's where you guys come in! Help me pick a restaurant for Priscilla Presley.
Can you expand upon the proviso, "...that she would be comfortable eating in."?
Comfortable in what sense? She'll be able to hide in the corner? Wants stylish surroundings? Particular food likes?
Edmonton has several decent restaurants and they are abundant in "booming" C-town.
Can suggest several in both if I know what you are seeking.
Canadians are very sweet when it comes to not being starf*ckers when a "celeb" is in the dining room, so I'd think that any good resto would fit the bill.
Here are three unique and varied picks:
Divino: classic and comfortable modern Bistro fare done right.
Eight: lively newish place with stylishly good food and tasting menu options. Nice modern room too.
River Cafe: the walk, the surroundings, the trees at this time of year and the regional cuisine....pure Calgary.
Let us know how it goes.
re: misscheeks
Tubby Dog
Banh Mi Thi Thi
Bob asked a pretty good question, in that what does "comfortable eating at" mean? Does it mean quiet and private? Does it mean healthy and organic? Crowded and loud? Small restaurant where the chances of being seen are small? Or a large one where she can be lost in the crowd? Expensive and fancy? Or downhome and greasy? Answers will vary based on what those preferences are.
Anyway, making some basic assumptions that she'll likely want to eat someplace nice, someplace where she won't be interrupted, and price is no object, i'd recommend Hardware Grill and Red Ox Inn in Edmonton. Hardware is gorgeous, phenomenal food, even better wine list, and as nice as restaurant as it gets in Edmonton (imo). Red Ox is smaller, quainter, but the food is great, the atmosphere nice, and she has a low likelihood of being interrupted in the middle of her meal.
For Calgary, i'd second River Cafe for a "Calgary" experience. My personal suggestions would be more along the lines of Rouge (has lots of character, great food, and one can get a private room), Capo (best Italian in the city, beautiful place), Muse (once again, a lot more privacy available here). To me, places like Divino, Centini, The Living Room, Muriettas, Vintage, Teatro etc... are all really nice spaces, but a bit too open, and a bit too busy.
I've never been to 8, or Rustic Red Water Grille, but they definitely have potential as well.
Anyway, good luck!
re: yen
How did Red Water enter the radar of this thread?
Also, i would NOT recommend red water as a top pick for dining in Calgary. Too much like every other suburban, family friendly, feel good bullsh*# "resto" that clogs up Calgary's dining scene anymore. Think : Joeys, Moxies, Keg, Murrietas, Kelseys, Tony Romas, chain restaurant cesspools that are masquerading as serious restaurants. IMO.
re: formerlyfingers
As you may have noticed, i mentioned that i have not been. It is, however, in a part of town that has a serious lack of decent restaurants. Geography is often as important as the food in choosing a location - chowhounders often forget that many people don't like travelling long distances just for food.
They also never clarified that "someplace comfortable" was a top pick - thus the Tubby Dog/Burger Inn recommendations.
Anyway, if you've had a bad experience there, please post and let us all know about it, but i don't really appreciate the passive aggresive attack on my suggestions.
re: yen
I will second Hardware Grill and Red Ox Inn in Edmonton. Culina's is another small venue with a fantastic menu and wine list. Another place, which I have not been to is the Blue Pear--I think a smaller place with an interesting 4 course meal--it might fit the bill.
In Calgary, I third River Cafe and second Capo and Muse. Both outstanding food, wine and service.
Divino is truly devine if the busier, louder atmosphere is what you're looking for.
Sorry bout the harsh words, thought about it after sending, just wanting to caution a fellow hound about two different completely average and uninspiring meals at Red Water. Generic food, namely a bad chicken "BBQ" entree, way too big salads, but actually apps werent bad. I had a prawns appetizer and some meatballs, bison I think. Both tasty just not creative or showing any signs of sourced out ingredients or innovation. These days, if I am to spend top dollar for food, I expect a certain level of technical innovation or at least evidence of better quality foodstuffs. Earls is Earls and we all know it and love it, hate it or at least accept it as such. Places like redwater though, bother me because of their illusion of goodness, merely covering up a chain run operation at the heart. This is not to say that it is a bad restaurant, just not one that should be considered in the top tier of restaurants in the city, and as such, possibly not a great example of what Calgary has to offer. It fills a need, and reaches its target audience, yes. It does not aspire to great things unless making handfuls of money is a great thing. Sorry bout the attack, I guess its a touchy subject for me, especially when it comes to showcasing Calgarys now diverse and proud food scene. If you have an experience there that you feel is amazing, please post it. This is just one opinionated hounds opinion, and that is why this board is so good!!!
If you're looking for a unique lunch spot try Isabelle's in the Lougheed House. They are only open for lunch and are closed on Mondays. The food is done by Infuse Catering and is all organic and seasonal.
I strongly second the vote for Culina in Edmonton IF Ms PP is looking to keep a low profile. Normand's may work if you want to keep things on the north side of the river.

bre | Reviewer: tanner | 8/23/14
Bre and I both loved Sublime, especially this song. She passed away in early 2014 of a heroin overdose. She was the love of my life. She will always be with me through this music.
Still listening | Reviewer: Anonymous | 6/17/13
No one's reviewed this song in three years and it's interesting to see reviews going back 8 years on this page while listening to this song.
This song is sad but great, the beginning is especially beautiful.
masonic lyrics | Reviewer: Romouse | 1/25/10
The stone that the builders refuse :
The mason call themself the builders (of our world) by the way they also call themself The Lions (Iron Lion Zion..)
The stone are us. Like Pink floy THE WALL.
The corner stone : http://reames.royalarchmason.org/the_many_stones_of_york_rite
Iron Lion Zion : Iron age symbolism of materialism (read "Crisis of the moder world")
Lion : The mason
Zion : In MAtrix for ex ( the last city of men or the first if you concider cycle of civilisations)
I think Bob was mason and that is why he was able/allowed to be that famous. He was a great person i am convinced and a wonderfull singer but i am prety sure that he didn't wrote those highly symbolic songs by himslef only.
He took an Oath and maybe he died (cancer virus : u can check those thing exist) when he understand their plan and decided to set him free and reveal the truth that he knew. (2PAC, MICKAEL, LENON, ENDRIX, JFK...)
That is why i still LOVE him.
Peace to his soul.

bittersweet | Reviewer: Anonymous | 12/10/08
I want to, but I can't say this is the best; I love them all...but when I'm down my boyfriend sings me this song, sometimes changing the words. last night I had a really bad breakdown & he tried to cheer me up by singing,
"Baby I really want to know
I think you should stop your cryin'
Use my T-shirt to dry your eyes
You know I love you
Van-essa, here I am, always & forever I'll be your man..."
sublime is the best remedy for hard times =D
Amazing | Reviewer: Jared | 6/7/07
This song is an amazing piece of music done by an amazing singer/songwriter. It pains me to know that his hands will never write another beautiful song like this one. All that we can do now is turn up the stereo and listen to the great works of Bradley Nowell. Rest In Peace Bradley, Rest In Peace.
incredible | Reviewer: restinpeace | 5/26/07

Dank | Reviewer: Die$eL | 4/19/07

in memory of jessica | Reviewer: nicole | 5/19/05
this is the most beautiful song ever. my best friend and i were in a car accident on april 22, 2005 and she passed away. This song reminds me of her because this was one of our favorite songs and we were listening to this song the moment of the crash. Now i feel like i have a special connection to the song and when times are hard for me, i turn this song on and I feel at peace with the world.

Thomas Sowell: Regarding the effects of gun control, ignorance prevails
Must every tragic mass shooting bring out the shrill ignorance of "gun control" advocates?
The key fallacy of so-called gun control laws is that such laws do not in fact control guns. They simply disarm law-abiding citizens, while people bent on violence find firearms readily available.
If gun control zealots had any respect for facts, they would have discovered this long ago, because there have been too many factual studies over the years to leave any serious doubt about gun control laws being not merely futile but counterproductive.
Places and times with the strongest gun control laws have often been places and times with high murder rates. Washington, D.C., is a classic example, but just one among many.
When it comes to the rate of gun ownership, that is higher in rural areas than in urban areas, but the murder rate is higher in urban areas. The rate of gun ownership is higher among whites than among blacks, but the murder rate is higher among blacks. For the country as a whole, hand gun ownership doubled in the late 20th century, while the murder rate went down.
The few counter-examples offered by gun control zealots do not stand up under scrutiny. Perhaps their strongest talking point is that Britain has stronger gun control laws than the United States and lower murder rates.
But, if you look back through history, you will find that Britain has had a lower murder rate than the United States for more than two centuries - and, for most of that time, the British had no more stringent gun control laws than the United States. Indeed, neither country had stringent gun control for most of that time.
In the middle of the 20th century, you could buy a shotgun in London with no questions asked. New York, which at that time had had the stringent Sullivan Law restricting gun ownership since 1911, still had several times the gun murder rate of London, as well as several times the London murder rate with other weapons.
Neither guns nor gun control was the reason for the difference in murder rates. People were the difference.
Yet many of the most zealous advocates of gun control laws, on both sides of the Atlantic, have also been advocates of leniency toward criminals.
In Britain, such people have been so successful that legal gun ownership has been reduced almost to the vanishing point, while even most convicted felons in Britain are not put behind bars. The crime rate, including the rate of crimes committed with guns, is far higher in Britain now than it was back in the days when there were few restrictions on Britons buying firearms.
In 1954, there were only a dozen armed robberies in London but, by the 1990s - after decades of ever tightening gun ownership restrictions - there were more than a hundred times as many armed robberies.
Gun control zealots' choice of Britain for comparison with the United States has been wholly tendentious, not only because it ignored the history of the two countries, but also because it ignored other countries with stronger gun control laws than the United States, such as Russia, Brazil and Mexico. All of these countries have higher murder rates than the United States.
You could compare other sets of countries and get similar results. Gun ownership has been three times as high in Switzerland as in Germany, but the Swiss have had lower murder rates. Other countries with high rates of gun ownership and low murder rates include Israel, New Zealand, and Finland.
Guns are not the problem. People are the problem - including people who are determined to push gun control laws, either in ignorance of the facts or in defiance of the facts.
There is innocent ignorance and there is invincible, dogmatic and self-righteous ignorance. Every tragic mass shooting seems to bring out examples of both among gun control advocates.
Some years back, there was a professor whose advocacy of gun control led him to produce a "study" that became so discredited that he resigned from his university. This column predicted at the time that this discredited study would continue to be cited by gun control advocates. But I had no idea that this would happen the very next week in the 9th Circuit Court of Appeals.

FORT MYERS, Fla.- The political action committee, Find a Better Way for Lee County, is getting as many signatures as possible for a petition that would possibly consolidate the Lee County Sheriff's Office and the Fort Myers Police Department.
The committee claims the consolidation would save the taxpayers nearly $25-million dollars a year and would reduce the city's crime rate.
"It is like having two maids cleaning your house, but they are not communicating," says PAC leader, Raimond Aulen.
The group needs roughly 3,000 signatures to bring the issue to the voters for the next local election in Fort Myers in November 2013.
They claim to be halfway there.
"That is not a parade that I am leading in any way, shape or form," said Sheriff Mike Scott.
Sheriff Scott admits he sees positives and negatives if the two agencies came together.
"It is easier said than done, especially when you are dealing with large police departments," said Scott.
Voters seem to agree with the petition.
"I understand that includes some loss of jobs, but ultimately, financially we have to be more responsible," said voter, Dean Tyler.
"I think it would be good because it would save the taxpayers money and have one agency in charge," said another voter, Terry Hayes.
the mayor of Fort Myers, Randy Henderson Jr. says he is neutral on the issue and respects both departments tremendously.

Famous Libra Men
Falling in the eighth house and ruled by Venus, the Goddess of Love and Beauty, the zodiac sign Libra is denoted by weighing scales. Much like it symbol, men who fall under this zodiac sign seek balance in their life. They have a keen sense of justice and virtue of fair game and are great at managing conflicts. Librans are great listeners and thus make great friends with people. Easily sociable, they are idealistic and peace loving people who have a kind, caring and sympathetic nature. However, this does not mean that the scales are weighed under positive traits. Libran men have a negative side to their personality as well, the most profound of being his indecisive and gullible nature. While the first does not allow them to take a decision in life, the second makes them swayed by others opinion and beliefs so much so that whatever decision they take they tend to change it. Another thing which works against them is that Libran men often get confused in challenging situations and can get quite temperamental.

Libra Man Personality Traits & Characteristics
The Bright Side
You need someone to laugh with, he is there, you need a shoulder to cry on, just ring him up and he'll come running to you, you are dead tired after the party and need someone to assist you cleaning the mess up, just let him know and he'll do the honors. Need anything else? A Libran man is a perfect example of a Godsend friend. He is the kind of person whom you can blurt out your innermost secrets and worry not for he would not leak out to anyone. Libran men are good listeners. They would listen to all your hopes, desires, dreams and wishes but if you think that he would understand your innermost emotion, you are wrong. Another significant trait of men under this sun sign is that they aren't the biased types. So, even if you are his best friend or someone close to him, don't expect him to be by your side when you are wrong. In fact, don't be surprised if he is the first to point out your mistake. This brings to light another important quality of Libran males – their honest nature. Libran men are true to heart and honest is every matter. For them, a lie is a lie, irrespective of whether it is white or black. One of the lesser known aspects of Libran males is their creativity and intelligence. Libran men are generally calm and composed. As such, it takes more than a brawl and fight to get a Libran male to spew and scrap. In fact, he has utmost capability to manage a conflicting situation and bring peace.
The Dark Side
If you have been thinking that all is good with a Libran man, know that behind all that charm and charisma are a few characteristic features of him that can leave you irritated and vexed. First and foremost, Libra men are indecisive in nature. They take a very long time to make up their mind for even the smallest bit of things. What's worse, if even after much deliberation, Libran men take a decision, they may change their opinion in a split second if they think they have made a mistake. Expecting a Libran man to take a life-altering decision is way too much as his mind or the consequences around him would make it difficult for him to make a choice. With a Libran man around, instead of taking the decision himself, he would let the coin decide what is best. What causes such behaviour is the easily influenced and gullible trait of a Libran man. Since he listens to his heart more than his mind, it is very easy to mould the thinking of a Libran, the way you like. Since men under this zodiac sign are easily influenced and not active decision makers, they get easily discouraged and disappointed and need to be constantly pepped up. Libran men are self-indulgent and flirtatious. They often spend more than necessary amount on things they might not even look back again, forget using. This attitude though not harmful can be a matter of concern when the credit card bill appears!
Romance Quotient
Have you fallen for a charming and charismatic guy? Is it getting more and more impossible for you to keep him out of your mind? Does his smile get your heart pulsating? Well, by all means, the cupid has struck you and the guy in question is definitely a Libran. For, no other man in the zodiac has the charm and charisma that a Libran guy exudes. What is even more convincing is the fact that the smile of a Libran (and the Libran alone) is so captivating that not even his enemies can resist it. Once in love with a Libra guy, it is impossible to get over it as he would never let you do so. As such, even if you try to back off, he will convince you with such persuasive arguments that you would be left with no other option but to stay. When in love with a Libran, a woman forgets her own existence and immerses herself completely in him. As such, she dreams what he dreams, loves what he loves and finds her happiness in his. However, don't think that a Libran guy looks for a robot or a partner who has no intellect of her own. In fact, a Libran guy looks for soul mate who is intelligent, smart, good looking and has a knack for effective decision making.
To impress a Libran man, use of flattery and admiration is the key to win his heart. Your sweet talk and molly-cuddling would melt him down and make you an irresistible treat for him. And if he too feels for you in the same way, he would be more than happy to return your affection. Libran men are flirtatious by nature. However, the same only continues until they meet their perfect soul mate or someone who is absolutely compatible. Once in a relationship, Libran men are loyal and trustworthy. However, men under this zodiac sign tend to confuse love with friendship and vice-versa. They keep searching for the perfect girl and if the relationship doesn't turns out to be as they expected it, they become a little heartbroken but move on with life. A lost love or an unpleasant end of a relationship does not affect a Libran too much. Since a Libran man is not much of a decision maker, he is more than glad when the woman in his life takes the initiative and controls the situations. An indecisive woman only adds to the insecurities of a Libran man. To be with a Libran man, just make sure that you fill up for his weakness and life would be as smooth as silk!
