Bashar al-Assad, the Syrian president, has ordered troops not to fire on pro-democracy demonstrators, arights campaigner has told Reuters news agency.
This came ahead of Friday prayers that have become a rallying point for protesters in the country's now eight-week long uprising.
Louay Hussein, a Syrian political activist, said Assad's adviser Bouthaina Shaaban had told him in a phone call on Thursday that "definitive presidential orders have been issued not to shoot demonstrators and whoever violates this bears full responsibility," according to Reuters.
Syrian soldiers, meanwhile, rolled into flashpoint cities in tanks and set up sand barriers topped with machine guns, the Associated Press reported.
Hussein was among four opposition figures who saw Shaaban earlier this month and presented demands that included an end to violent repression of protesters and the introduction of political reform in the country, ruled by the Assad family since 1970.
"I hope we will see [no firing at demonstrators] tomorrow. I still call for non-violent form of any protest regardless of the response of the security apparatus," Hussein said.
The meetings were the first between the opposition and senior officials since demonstrations calling for political freedom and an end to corruption erupted in the southern city of Deraa on March 18.
Shaaban made a similar statement to the one on Thursday at the beginning of the demonstrations in March.
Authorities have since blamed most of the violence on "armed terrorist groups backed by Islamists and foreign agitators".
Broadening the crackdown
Friday - the main congregated day of prayer for Muslims - offers the only chance for Syrians to assemble in large numbers, making it easier to hold demonstrations. This Friday will be an important test after the government said it had largely put down the unrest.
The Geneva-based International Commission of Jurists said troops had killed 700 people, rounded up thousands and indiscriminately shelled towns during the protests.
Tanks advanced in the southern towns of Dael, Tafas, Jassem and al-Harah on Thursday, broadening a crackdown before Friday.
In Deraa, a witness, who declined to be named, said the first significant demonstration since tanks shelled the city's old quarter into submission two weeks ago, erupted on Thursday.
Eighteen people were reportedly killed in shelling by tanks in residential areas across the country on Wednesday.
Ammar Qurabi, head of Syria's National Organisation for Human Rights, said 13 people had been killed in the southern village of al-Harah.
Tanks also shelled a residential district in Homs killing at least five people, a rights campaigner in the city said. A sixth person was killed by a sniper.
Washington and its European allies have been criticised for a tepid response to the violence in Syria, in contrast with Libya where they are carrying out a bombing campaign they say will not end until leader Muammar Gaddafi is driven from power.
Hillary Clinton, the US Secretary of State, said Washington and its allies would hold Assad's government to account for "brutal reprisals" against protesters and might tighten sanctions, but she stopped short of saying Assad should leave power.

Endodontics Instruments and Armamentarium: Visual Enhancement
Endodontics Instruments and Armamentarium: Visual Enhancement - JAMES K. BAHCALL
Visualization during surgical and conventional endodontic treatment has historically been limited to two-dimensional dental radiography representative of a three-dimensional biologic system and what could be seen with the naked eye (perhaps enhanced by loupes). Today, endodontic treatment is to a large extent viewed as a microsurgical procedure. The principle upon which all microsurgery is based is the observation that the hand can perform remarkably intricate micromanipulations as long as the eye can see a magnified field and it can be interpreted by the mind.1 Magnification affects vision by increasing the size of an image on the retina. "Visual image" is the basic parameter used to describe how large something appears, and is expressed in units of degree or cycles/degree.2 The use of optical magnification instruments such as loupes, microscopes, endoscopes, and orascopes enables the endodontist to magnify a specified treatment field beyond that perceived by the naked eye.
Optical Definitions
Working Distance: The distance measured from the dentist's eye to the treatment field being viewed.
Depth of Field: The amount of distance between the nearest and furthest objects that appear in acceptably sharp focus.
Convergence Angle: The aligning of two oculars to be sure they are pointing at the identical distance and angle to the object or treatment field.
Field of View: The area that is visible through optical magnification.
Viewing Angle: The angular position of the optics allowing for a comfortable viewing position for the operator.
Dental loupes are the most common magnification system used in dentistry. All loupes use convergent lenses to form a magnified image.3 The simplest form of optical magnification is single-lens loupes (ie, jeweler's flip-down magnifiers). Single lenses have a fixed focal length and working distance.4 The advantages of these types of loupes are low cost and light weight as they are made of plastic. The disadvantage of single-lens loupes is poor image resolution compared with multi-lens glass optics (telescopic loupes and microscopes).5 Because single-lens loupes provide a set working distance, the dentist may find the ergonomics incorrect and may need to compensate with poor body posture, causing the possible neck and back strain.
In order to overcome the disadvantages of single-lens loupe optics, the use of multi-lens optic system is recommended. This type of glass multi-lens configuration is known as a Galilean optical system (Figure 1). It provides a higher level of magnification, improved depth of field and working distance, and higher optical resolution compared with single-lens optics.4 Telescopic loupes use Galilean optics. Ideal magnification with telescopic loupes is ×2.5. This offers a good compromise between weight, optical performance, and cost. Galilean lens systems cannot offer magnification much greater than ×2.5 without incurring weight, size, and image resolution problems.5 Silber recommends the use of ×2.5 operating loupes because magnification of loupes greater than ×2.5 limits the depth of field and working distance during treatment.1 Any head movement of the operator, while using loupes with magnification greater than ×2.5, will move a treatment field in and out of focus, very distracting and irritating to the clinician. When need for higher magnification is required (up to ×6), prism optics are
[Figure 1. Diagram of Galilean optics.]
available. This optical system is based on the Keplarian astronomic telescope, which uses five lenses and two prisms. The advantages of this optical system are superior optical clarity and a flatter view from edge to edge. However, the disadvantages are expense and added weight to loupes.5 And as the magnification in loupes increases, the need for more illumination is required.6 Loupe manufacturers have designed portable clip-on light sources to accommodate demand for increased light.

Baumann7 was the first to report the use and benefits of an operating microscope for conventional endodontics. Since then, the use of the surgical operating microscope (SOM) has evolved in the field of endodontics as an invaluable optical magnification instrument8-10 (Figure 2). Today, this visual evolution in endodontics, from using loupes and headlamps to the use of the microscope, parallels a similar transition in medical specialties, such as ophthalmology and neurosurgery.11 On January 1, 1998, the American Dental Association Accreditation Standards for Advanced Specialty Education Programs in Endodontics were revised; formal microscope training must be included in surgical and nonsurgical endodontic treatment.11
The magnification needs in endodontic treatment range from ×3 to ×30.12 A SOM accommodates these magnification requirements. Although loupes can have a magnification as high as ×6, they are not able to provide the same depth of field at ×6 magnification compared with the microscope,1 and fiber optic light source of the SOM provides two to three times the light emitted from a surgical headlamp.13
Similar to loupes, microscopes use the Galilean lens system. The magnification of the SOM is
[Figure 2. Clinical use of surgical operating microscope.]
[Figure 3. A schematic diagram of the surgical operating microscope. The eyepiece connected to binocular field glasses allows adequate focal length. The objective lens increases the magnification. The magnification changer adds to the flexibility of the microscope.]
determined by the magnification power of the eyepiece, the focal length of the binoculars, the magnification changer factor, and the focal length of the objective lens (Figure 3).12,14 The eyepiece has adjustable diopter settings ranging from -5 to +5. Diopter settings help the clinician focus the lens of the eyes and adjust for refractive error, which is the degree to which a person needs to wear corrective eyeglasses.12
The benefits of using an SOM for optical magnification in conventional endodontic treatment are well documented in the literature.15-19 They are increased visualization of the treatment field, enhanced visualization in locating canals, aid in the removal of separated instruments, diagnosis of micro fractures, perforation repair, and case documentation.
The advantages of using an SOM during surgical endodontic treatment are enhanced view of the surgical treatment field, need for taking fewer radiographs during the surgical procedure, and the ability to document the treatment.20
When viewing an endodontic treatment field through a microscope, the use of a standard dental mirror or micromirror is usually required, in conjunction with the microscope, to overcome the angulation difficulties of certain tooth positions in the mouth. Saunders and Saunders15 have stated that the most common reasons for endodontists not using the SOM during treatment: positional difficulties, inconvenience, and increased treatment time.

Rod-Lens Endoscope
The use of a rod-lens endoscope in endodontics was first reported in 1979.21 In 1996, the rod-lens endoscope was recommended as a magnification instrument for conventional and surgical endodontic procedures.22,23 The rod-lens endoscope (Figure 4) is made up of rods of glass working in junction with a camera, light source, and monitor (Figure 5). The option of a digital recorder (either streaming video or still capture) may be added to the system for documentation.
The rod-lens endoscope allows clinicians' greater magnification than that achieved with loupes or a microscope, with optical resolution comparable with that of microscopes and/or loupes. Although the endoscope can be used as a visualization instrument for conventional endodontic treatment, it can be bulky and difficult to maintain a fixed field of vision compared with a microscope. A fixed field of vision is defined as "viewing a treatment field from one single angle and distance."24 The use of the endoscope is therefore recommended for visualization of surgical endodontic treatment.22-27 The
[Figure 4. A rod-lens endoscope (Jedmed, St. Louis, MO).]
[Figure 5. Endoscope visual system (EVS) (Jedmed, St. Louis, MO).]
visualization advantage, in surgical endodontic treatment, the endoscope provides over the microscope, is the ability to view a surgical treatment field in a nonfixed field of vision. This is defined as the ability to view a treatment field at various angles and distances without losing depth of field and focus.24
The recommended rod-lens endoscope sizes, for endodontic surgical application, are a 2.7 mm lens diameter, 70° angulation, 3 cm length rod-lens, and a 4 mm lens diameter, 30° angulation, and 4 cm length rod-lens.24 A pair of ×2 to ×2.5 loupes should be used for visualization prior to the use of the endoscope.1,24 Loupes aid the endodontist during surgery when reflecting gingival tissue, removing cortical and medullary bone, and isolating root ends. The clinician should hold the endoscope while the assistant retracts gingival tissue and suctions.24 This maintains good eye-hand coordination during examination or treatment. The clinician and the assistant(s) view the magnified image on the monitor.
Hemostasis of the surgical field must be obtained before the endoscope is used because the scope cannot provide a discernible image when placed in blood. The warmth of the blood can also create lens condensation and a blurred image. If this occurs, the use of suction and irrigation, or an antifogging agent, will eliminate the fogging effect. The tips of the endoscope should be placed on bone around the surgical crypt in order to stabilize the scope. Prior to usage, a protective metal sheath is placed over the endoscope to add rigidity and allow the endoscope to be held in a stable position. It is not recommended to use the endoscope to also retract gingival tissue while viewing a surgical treatment field. This will not allow free movement of the scope by the operator while also having difficulty keeping the gingival tissue out of the line of sight.
Figure 4. A rod-lens endoscope (Jedmed, St. Louis, MO).0
Figure 5. Endoscope visual system (EVS) (Jedmed, St. Louis, MO).0
An orascope is a fiber optic endoscope and like the rod-lens endoscope works in injunction with a camera, light source, and monitor. Fiber optics are made of plastics and therefore are small, lightweight, and flexible. It is important to note that image quality from fiber optic magnification has a direct correlation with the number of fibers and size of the lens used. The fiber optic endoscope is designed for intracanal visualization.28 The orascope has a 0.8 mm tip diameter and 0° lens and the working portion is 15 mm in length (Figure 6). The orascope is
[Figure 6. An orascope (Jedmed, St. Louis, MO).]
[Figure 7. Cross-section of orascope probe showing the distribution of fiber optic image bundle and the light transmission fibers.]
made up of 10,000 parallel visual fibers. Each visual fiber is between 3.7 and 5.0 μm in diameter. A ring of much larger light transmitting fibers surrounds the visual fibers for illumination of a treatment field (Figure 7).
Prior to the placement of the 0.8 mm fiber optic scope, it is recommended that ×2 to ×2.5 loupes or a SOM be used for conventional endodontic visualization during access to the canal(s). A canal must be prepared to a minimum size of a 90 file in the coronal 15 mm of the canal. If the canal is under-instrumented, a wedging of the orascope may damage some of the fiber optic bundles within the scope. The proper canal enlargement also allows the full 15 mm of the scope to penetrate within the canal. The canal must also be dried before the 0.8 mm fiber optic scope is placed. Although the scope will see through sodium hypochlorite, this solution has a high light-refractory index. This will cause greater amounts of light that will be reflected, thus making it difficult to see details of the canal.
The focus and depth of field of an orascope is from 0 mm to infinity. This allows the orascope to provide imaging of the apical third of the root without actually having to be placed in this region of the canal.
Similar to the endoscope, the endodontist holds the orascope while viewing the image from the monitor.28 Temperature and humidity difference between the dental operatory and the canal can cause moisture to condense on the fiber optic lens, causing fogging. The use of a lens antifog solution helps eliminate lens condensation build-up.

Microscope-Endoscope Combination
In conventional and surgical endodontic treatment, there are different visualization parameters for each type of treatment, when magnification beyond loupes is required. Although both the microscope and rod-lens endoscope can be used for magnification for either type of endodontic treatment, the advantages for using a microscope for conventional endodontic treatment and a rod-lens endoscope for surgical visualization led to the development of a microscope coupler (Jedmed, St. Louis, MO) that enables the endodontists to combine both technologies (Figure 8). The combination unit also allows for the use of the orascope and digital documentation.
Figure 8. Combination microscope-endoscope visualization system (Jedmed, St. Louis, MO).0
Magnification versus Differentiation
Magnification is defined as making an object or treatment field greater in size. Differentiation is defined as making something distinct or specialized.29 The need to differentiate a magnified treatment field, when looking for a fracture in conventional endodontic therapy, or in surgical endodontic therapy when trying to identify the periodontal ligament space, an isthmus, or marginal leakage around a previous root-end filling, is important. Methylene blue, a nontoxic, biocompatible dye, can be used in conjunction with endodontic visualization instruments to help differentiate a treatment field in order to aid the endodontist in identifying etiology30 (Figure 9).
[Figure 8. Combination microscope-endoscope visualization system (Jedmed, St. Louis, MO).]
[Figure 9. A, Magnification of a root end without differentiation. B, Magnification of a root end with methylene blue added for differentiation.]
Figure 9. A, Magnification of a root end without differentiation. B, Magnification of a root end with methylene blue added for differentiation.0.015625
The ability to enhance vision during endodontic procedures has significantly increased the comfort level of endodontists in terms of identifying fracture lines, locating minuscule canal orifices, and confidently determining anatomic variations in teeth and supporting structures. Technological advances are continuously being made in advanced vision equipment, promising an even brighter future.

Introduction to Infectious Disease Modelling and its Applications
19 - 30th July, 2004
London School of Hygiene & Tropical Medicine and
Communicable Disease Surveillance Centre (Health Protection
Agency, UK)
Mathematical modelling is increasingly being applied to inter-
pret and predict the dynamics and control of infectious dis-
eases. Applications include predicting the impact of vaccination
strategies against infections and determining optimal control
strategies against HIV and vector-borne diseases.
This two week intensive course, now running for the fourth year,
is intended to introduce professionals working on infectious
diseases to this exciting and expanding area. The emphasis will
be on developing a conceptual understanding of the basic methods
and on their practical application, rather than the manipulation
of mathematical equations.
Who should attend:
The course is designed for individuals interested in expanding
their knowledge of the techniques for analysing and interpreting
epidemiological data on infectious diseases and for predicting
the impact of control programmes, including medical and health
professionals, policy makers, veterinary scientists, medical
statisticians and infectious disease researchers.
Specialist mathematical training is not a prerequisite. However,
individuals with degrees in mathematical disciplines working on
some aspect of infectious disease dynamics and/ or control, who
wish to learn about the potential of infectious disease model-
ling will also benefit.

It has been a long ride (one of our original goals was to "build a company that lasts at least 2 years" - we beat that one!) While we wish the site could live on, it has suffered from a number of challenges - changes in how people use the site, the advertising industry, and how search engines view the site. We wish the outcome was different – but we've always been realistic about when our goals are met and when they aren't.
As of today, you will be able to download your goals and entries. See more about that on the FAQ page. Thanks for 10 great years of goal-setting and achieving.

City of Ottawa's ordinance should focus on owners, not dogs
An ordinance outlawing certain breeds of dogs because they are perceived as dangerous? If doing that, outlaw certain cars because they go faster, have poor braking systems or use too much gas. Or outlaw larger trucks because they do more damage if they hit something. Rather than outlawing Mustangs or Camaros or 18 wheelers, we have training and licensing. Why not the same for dogs?
A poor analogy? Maybe; maybe not.

Or outlaw larger trucks because they do more damage if they hit something. Rather than outlawing Mustangs or Camaros or 18 wheelers, we have training and licensing. Why not the same for dogs?
A poor analogy? Maybe; maybe not.
This thing about the dogs raises lots of questions. I was bitten once as a child, and it was by the neighbor's little mutt that was fighting with my dog, a German Shepherd mix. Because the mutt was smaller, I thought he would be easier to pull off the fight. He used the only defense he knew ... he bit me, maybe instinctively sensing that I was going to help my dog.
The point here is instincts and behavior. Wikipedia defines it: "Instinct or innate behavior is the inherent inclination of a living organism towards a particular complex behavior. The simplest example of an instinctive behavior is a fixed action pattern, in which a ... sequence of actions ... are carried out in response to a ... stimulus."
OK, some pretty fancy wording. Sum it up by agreeing that all animals behave according to their instincts. Next, what imprints those instincts?
In searching for an answer, I was led to articles, among others, by the ASPCA and the Centers for Disease Control. Even though my purpose was to learn more about pit bulls, I learned about other breeds.
The pit bull does not have a monopoly in the dangerous category. According to the CDC, it is among the top 10 breeds that, after an attack, result in serious injury and death. It is joined by the Rottweiler, German Shepherd, Doberman Pinscher, and others, bred specifically to be fighters. This technique of breeding for specific purposes has been used for hundreds of years. The better milk producer, the stronger plow horse, the faster racer, the more abundant wool producer, etc. This was the genetically modifying procedures of that day. This was Darwinian evolution accelerated and chosen.
Take, for example, the pit bull. Know why it has that name? Through selective breeding and training, arose an animal likely to win when put in a pit to fight to the death. Dog fights in pits was a sport of the day, now outlawed. Handlers were in the pit during the fight and were not attacked by the dogs, and in fact, if one did attack the trainers, it was put down. That particular breed had the strength, instincts, and training, when faced with a particular stimulus, to kill. Please, please note that I used the past tense, "had." Much of this has been bred out of them; but they remain very muscular and strong and still possess the instinct to win if involved in a fight. Training is the variable. These dogs need lots of exercise, love, attention, and socialization to override the fighting instinct.
The other breeds in the top ten have similar stories. The German Shepherd and Doberman, for example, were bred, and/or genetically altered, to attack and protect. If properly loved, and trained, they make wonderful pets.
These instinctively inherent behaviors are with all of us. If attacked, or if one or our children is attacked, what is our first reaction? To attack back, right? It happens in war. What happened after Pearl Harbor? What happened after 9/11? It is the instinct of all animals.
If an animal, a dog, is harassed to the point that it feels attacked, what is likely to be its response? Case in point, we read about a child attacked by a neighborhood dog and then learn that child had for weeks been throwing stones at the dog. Well, get it?
So, our city commissioners are faced with the task of deciding about an ordinance to prohibit having certain breeds of dog in Ottawa. The literature is replete with other instances of town councils passing such restrictions; they all failed in the long term. Virginia has a registry, not unlike the registry for child predators, to chronicle problem animals, where they live and who owns them. This is their approach to the problem. Should we adopt such a thing? It is worth considering.
An alternative could be education. Educate the dog owners. A registry could be used to identify and follow them as they go though the program.
Require them to attend classes on animal behavior to own and license any dog because, face it, any dog can be a danger. Educate the owners and potential owners about instinctive behavior which is within all animals.
The literature reports that the urge for these animals to finish off any opponent, instinctive to the pit bull, can be mitigated; the pit bull has been reported as a strong, muscular, affectionate, loving and loyal pet. My own experience as a child with German Shepherds validates this. And, I promise you, there wasn't anybody gonna mess with me or my brothers when that dog was with us.
Any animal can be trained, not unlike ourselves. Take, for example, the bulls and bucking horses seen in rodeos. Do you really think that is just a wild animal brought to the ring? They are specifically trained (and worth a lot of money).
To sum it up, dogs are wonderful beings. The love and affection they impart is incomparable. It is notable that their name spelled backwards is God. I am totally against discriminating against any animal without first learning about them. The same goes for humans. We fight daily against discriminating at the level of the human being. Why not the same for dogs?
If you have ever owned a dog, you have experienced the feeling, the love that they impart. It is the owner who should have an ordinance, not the animal.

Post-Pregnancy Plan: 8 New-Mom Fitness Rules
Your body is amazing. For nine months you focused all of your energy on creating another human being, and you finally accomplished it. Congratulations! But even if you were active during your first trimester, you've likely gained some unwanted weight or lost pre-pregnancy definition.
When it comes to regaining your figure, working out is essential. But knowing when to work out, what to expect, and how to steer clear of temptation is even more important. Luckily, I've been through it twice.
Here are eight helpful the rules I picked up along the way!
1 / Follow Recovery Recommendations
My midwife didn't give me clearance to work out until six weeks postpartum. That's a standard recommendation, which maybe even longer if you had a c-section. Follow it. Working out too soon can actually make your recovery period last longer; cause long-term damage to your stomach muscles; and, if you are breastfeeding, affect your milk supply.
Instead of giving in to that itch to hit the treadmill or biceps curl to exhaustion, go on a family walk. Just 30 minutes each day of a fresh air stroll a day has been shown to increase your cardiorespiratory fitness, decrease body fat, and reduce depression.1
2 / Prep and Freeze Meals Pre-Baby
If you're struggling to find the time to work out right after your baby's born, focus on your nutrition. After my first son was born, I was tired, sore, and emotional—and I had a fussy baby who wouldn't let me put him down for long.
Cooking was out of the question. I resorted to the easy, unhealthy route: think lots of pizza delivery and cold cereal. If you aren't focusing on the food you're fueling your body with, you're probably going to have a tough time shedding the weight and toning up.
The second time around, I decided to come prepared and freeze healthy meals that I could pop in the crock pot once the baby arrived. Chicken tortilla, beef and barley, and minestrone soup were all on the menu, along with honey lime and sweet and sour chicken. I also prepped double batches of Jamie Eason's protein bars, which were a lifesaver after the baby came.
3 / Say Yes to Protein Powder (One Serving)
My doctor told me that one serving of protein powder per day was perfectly fine to use while nursing, as long as it wasn't my only source of protein for the day. Try to use protein powders that don't include artificial sweeteners or fillers.
My favorite kind of protein is MRM All Natural Whey Rich Vanilla flavor—it's what I used while I was pregnant and now that I am breastfeeding. If you have questions, always check with your doctor.
4 / Leave Junk Food at the Checkout Counter
While it might seem like a no-brainer, giving up junk food can be a struggle, especially for a new mom. Exhaustion will likely weaken your willpower, and the meals people bring as gifts might not be the healthiest option. Still, you'll be grateful, and you'll eat them.
Counter the platters of lasagna, chicken fingers, and baked mac and cheese by stocking up on fresh fruit and lean protein. Prepare easy-to-grab snacks like homemade protein bars and pre-packed sliced veggies.
5 / Breastfeed to Speed Up Weight Loss
Bag the bottle. Not only will breastfeeding ensure you're passing on whole-food nutrients to your baby, it will also help you shed the baby weight.
You can burn up to 500 calories per day just by breastfeeding! It also helps your uterus contract, which will help make your stomach flatten faster during those first two weeks. Breastfeeding can be difficult at first. I struggled nursing my daughter in the first two weeks.
Try reading up on breastfeeding before the baby is born—Ina May's Guide to Breastfeeding was the most helpful book I found—and prepare to work with a lactation consultant after the baby comes.
6 / Once Cleared to Work Out, Squeeze Them in When You Can
Don't count on consistency. Once you get clearance to exercise, it's unlikely that you'll still have a full hour to dedicate to the Stairmaster. It might be hard to get into a regular schedule during the first couple of months when the baby's still not sleeping through the night, and most gym daycare facilities won't take babies until they're at least 6 months old. So squeeze in a trip to the gym whenever you can, and get creative with at-home workouts.
I've gotten some serious results using Ashley Conrad's Celebrity Abs routine. Still strapped for time? Remember, even a short post-dinner family walk while pushing the stroller or strapping on the baby carrier is better than doing nothing at all.
7 / Celebrate Your Small Victories
I really struggled with this one after I first got back in the gym. The extra weight left me feeling frustrated, and I was embarrassed that I couldn't lift heavy. I felt like I didn't belong in the weight room around all the fit people.
I pushed through it by reminding myself that I'd felt this way after my first son was born, and that nothing was going to change until I started putting in the work. You can feel uncomfortable now or three months from now, but you're always going to have a starting point. The sooner you start, the sooner you'll stop feeling self-conscious.
I try to remind myself that I feel better when I work out. It builds my confidence, makes me happier, and usually leads me to make smarter nutritional choices. Your workouts might not start out as intense as they were pre-pregnancy, but you'll eventually get back to that point and should be proud of your progress along the way.
8 / Remember, It's Not a Race
Getting back in shape takes time, and simply removing the baby that was inside you isn't enough to get back your tight tummy. After I had my first son, I was surprised that I came home and still looked six months pregnant. I remember feeling so bad about the extra weight. While I eventually shed the pounds and regained my shape, it didn't happen overnight. It took months.
If I had known that most women still look pregnant after they have a baby, my self-talk would have been a little more loving.
Clean eating and exercise will get you back in shape, but give yourself a realistic time frame. Now I know not to expect to feel totally back to normal for 9-12 months—the time it takes for me to lose the weight, for my hips to go back down, and to rebuild the muscle I had pre-pregnancy.
On my website and Facebook page I've been sharing my post-partum photos during this process to hopefully try to normalize the images we see of a woman's normal post-partum belly and hopefully make other people feel comfortable during the process as well.

Great article! A must-read for all mommies and mommies-to-be!
and thank for all the moms in the world to make us alive ! Without their sacrifices, we wouldn't be there!
You are welcome :) It's hard for guys or girl to follow a strict diet, and every women and men who succeed are impressive and need to be respected ! mom's are strong !
Wonderful article! Nice to see other people struggle with the post pregnancy issues, whether it is weight or muscle tone and definition. Makes me feel completely normal. Thanks :)
A great article! No kids here but it's something I've considered for when i eventually have them.
God bless you for posting this! I'm still trying to concieve my first child but I read all the hype with the celebrities who return to pre-pregnancy weight over night.
It is so wonderful to see mothers like you who are willing to be vulnerable, honest, and encouraging to the rest of us. I admire all strong women but my admiration for you is off the charts. You are an inspiriation to me and your family.
Thank you!
Thank you so much GMarie11!! It is always scary to post photos like that, but my hope is that by sharing my own photos of what I looked like post-partum it can help other people start to feel comfortable too :)
This is good advice for new mommies as well as moms with small kids. I have a 2 and a 4 year old and I still have to revisit these steps. It's works!
Keeping it real so the other mothers out there can feel like they aren't alone. Great article!
Really good tips. Heck, I gained sympathy weight with all three of my wife's pregnancies so this is good for me as well.
Thank you so much for this great article - I really needed to read this today. In my third trimester of a high risk pregnancy with baby #3 and have been unable to do any sort of activity since early February. You have given me faith and reminded me of the need for patience. Thank you!!
Congratulations marathonmom262 on your pregnancy!! I know it can be so hard to not feel frustrated when you can't workout, but keep in mind this is such a short phase in your life and soon it will all be worth it once you get to meet your little cutie. I am excited for you!
Did you have any loose skin? I think this is the only thing keep me from the body I want.
Hey Mexicanalinda18! I definitely still have loose skin when I sit down or bend over. I found that as I dropped body fat that skin did start to tighten up, but a lot of the elasticity in your skin comes down to genetics, so I don't think my skin will ever totally go back to normal. Drinking a ton of water always helps my skin too!
This is a pretty eye opening article. Talk about mental hurdle, it's hard enough to get back into the gym after a 2 week vacation/outage, it's almost imponderable to register what it must be like after 2-trimesters and 6-weeks postpartum downtime. I've always respected the dedication of the handful of pregnant women at the gym. After reading this, they earned even more.
Thanks for the article! I have bookmarked it to come back to in the next year or two after we have kids. It is definitely a fear of mine to work so hard to get to where I want to be and then to feel like I am starting all over again after kids.
Wow! That's amazing.
So awesome and realistic! Most of us are hard enough on ourselves as it is...pre-babies. This is a great tool to help us all stay positive. Thank you!!!!!
This is a fantastic article! Well put together

Going For The 21-day Kickstart
I have had Neal Barnard's book, 21-Day Weight-Loss Kickstart, for several weeks now. I am about halfway through reading it, in part because its intended audience is the vast field of omnivores who know very little about plant-based diets. Those of us who are well along in veganland will know most of this stuff, of course, so I am not reading it as ravenously as I might otherwise. I find that this way of eating really does take off the pounds, though, so I joined the Physician's Committee for Responsible Medicine (PCRM)'s daily kickstart emails, as suggested in this post.
The 21 days started Sept 5 but if you are interested, you can join any time. Go here to read today's message (as well as the previous days' messages) and sign up here.
One of the meals I made for myself was based on the recipes in the book, which tend to be easy and fresh and delicious (most are by chef Jason Wyrick). The recipe for hummus is so simple that I memorized it immediately and will make it often. This time I made it with white beans.
I followed a suggestion in the book to make the tofu scramble and save leftovers for other meals. This one, which includes fresh tomatoes and basil, I used in a sandwich on another day.
One point made in the book is that while there is a lot of flexibility in what you eat and how much and when, to make this a true trial you need to commit to following the principles for the full 21 days. (The reason behind the 21 days is that it is long enough to feel a difference but short enough that just about anyone can commit. Of course after 21 days Barnard's hope is that we will simply continue eating this way.) For me this was a critical point. I have followed this or similar plans before but let higher-fat foods slip in there from time to time, perhaps rather too often, and therefore did not see the results I wanted to see.
The principles:
- Eat no animal products. Only plant-based foods.
- No added oils. Keep it very low-fat.
- Choose low-glycemic index foods (generally those high in fiber). If you are a serious athlete you may need some high-glycemic index foods as well.
The PCRM website and its related sites, including the Kickstart site, offer a wealth of information to answer any questions about this plan or about vegan nutrition in general.
Have you embarked on this plan? If so, how is it going for you?

RICHMOND — The State Corporation Commission (SCC) has
ordered Dominion Virginia Power to make various financial and accounting adjustments
to ensure that customers continue to pay fair and reasonable rates for electric
service. The SCC directives come after a review of the rates charged by the state's
largest electric utility, as required by Virginia law, for calendar years 2011 and
Dominion Virginia Power's base rates will be reduced slightly since three demand-side
management programs are no longer offered by the company. Other decisions set forth
in the SCC's final order become the basis for the next biennial review for calendar
years 2013 and 2014.
As a whole, the Commission made findings which "we conclude are reasonable and supported
by evidence in the record." Among the significant decisions within the SCC order:
Numerous other changes or withdrawals of tariffs, terms and conditions of service
were decided as part of this case. The company has been directed to file revised
tariffs to comply with the directives set forth in the Commission order.

He'll also direct three segments of the show and help with choreography.
Also Richie Rich wins a $2 million lawsuit, and Jessica Stam's boyfriend might go to jail.
Designers and retailers are playing it safe in the economic downturn. But we think consumers are still interested in avant-garde designs.
A new short film of Gareth's fall '08 collection is sure to erase Beyoncé's awkward Pugh moment from your memory.
Beyoncé never should have put on that metal glove.
The perfumes, designed by six designers, including Gareth Pugh, Preen, and Alexandre Herchcovitch, go on sale later this week.
Christopher Kane designed a radio, Giles Deacon is doing stationery, and Gareth Pugh has gone and made a Christmas tree.
Could she be trying to catch up to Rihanna, style-wise?
Also Avon suspects shady business practices in China.
Makeup artists used their brushes to paint whatever they wanted, wherever they wanted on the faces in Paris.
Paris Fashion Week just wrapped, and we can't contain ourselves. The clothes! The colors! The drama! Oh the French, they always know how to deliver.
We're thinking Gareth Pugh. See with the magic of Photoshop!
Also Roisin Murphy wore BRAND NEW Gareth Pugh to the Christian Dior show!
We have brand-new runway slideshows from Paris, and they're SPLENDID.
Also, Victoria Beckham's new haircut isn't the trendiest do, and the latest in $1,000 skin creams.
Also, Paris Fashion Week kicks off with angry fans at Rick Owens and frightened kids at Gareth Pugh.
Also, Naomi Campbell sassed paparazzi at the Dolce & Gabbana show, and Lily Cole loves shopping.
The London-based designer is showing in Paris for the first time this season, and the fashion world is pretty jazzed about it.
Also, Heidi Klum's legs are insured for different amounts, and Richard Prince's new Louis Vuitton handbags have jokes written on them.
Also, does Dior Homme have its sights on Hedi Slimane? Giambattista Valli does bridalwear, and Marc Jacobs does yoga.

Reports of Congresswoman's Death Greatly Exaggerated
Congresswoman Stephanie Tubbs Jones is alive, to the best of our knowledge, as of this posting.
Greg Mitchell author of a book about the media titled "So Wrong For So Long" wrote on E&P:
Leading news outlets reported today that Stephanie Tubbs Jones, a Democratic congresswoman, had died — when she was still alive though in critical condition. The outlets included her hometown Cleveland Plain Dealer, The New York Times, CBS News, Fox News, The Associated Press, Bloomberg and many others.
The early afternoon AP dispatch declared: "Pioneering Ohio Congresswoman Stephanie Tubbs Jones died Wednesday afternoon after suffering a brain aneurysm while driving on Tuesday evening, Fox News has confirmed.
"According to sources on Capitol Hill, she was removed from life support at 12:19 p.m. at Huron Road Hospital in Cleveland."
The New York Times headline on the Web announced: "Ohio Congresswoman Dies."
Wow. Hope this doesn't get out. Could look bad for the press.

Mr. Francis M. Kennedy
Tenure: 1910-1913
Francis Kennedy was born February 2, 1869, in the town of Maryville, Tennessee. He graduated from Maryville College in 1891 with the A.B. degree in classics and English, but also excelled in math. After graduation, Kennedy was employed as an instructor at St. Augustine's College in Raleigh, N.C. During his tenure there, Kennedy completed law school at nearby Shaw University. In 1904, he left St. Augustine's for Slater Industrial Academy and State Normal School (now WSSU). There, he was an instructor of English, mathematics, and the classics.
A widower with three children, Kennedy met and married Slater employee Mayme Kennedy, namesake of the Dining Hall. In addition to his administrative and teaching duties at Slater, Kennedy served as the cashier/treasurer for the Forsyth Savings and Trust Company, established in 1907 by WSSU founder Simon G. Atkins. He was elected principal of Slater following the resignation of C.G. O'Kelly in 1910. During his tenure, Kennedy succeeded in receiving the Winston Board of Trade's endorsement of legislation that appropriated $10,000 annually for Slater's maintenance. In 1913, Simon Green Atkins was elected to Kennedy's position, partially due to rumors concerning Kennedy's health. Francis Marion Kennedy returned to his former position as a classroom teacher.

Rockwell Medical Schedules Investor Conference Call
WIXOM, Mich., Oct. 28, 2010 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Rockwell Medical (Nasdaq:RMTI), a fully-integrated biopharmaceutical company offering innovative products and services targeting end-stage renal disease (ESRD), chronic kidney disease (CKD) and iron deficiency anemia, announced today that it will hold an investor conference call on Thursday, November 4, 2010 at 8:30 a.m. ET to discuss its third quarter 2010 results. Robert Chioini, Chairman and CEO, and Thomas Klema, CFO, will be hosting the call to review Rockwell's results. Rockwell will be releasing the earnings results on the same date.
Date: November 4, 2010 Time: 8:30 AM ET
When calling in, investors should refer to the Rockwell Medical Investor Conference Call and provide the operator with their name and company affiliation.
Investors who prefer to participate via internet may use the following link: http://ir.rockwellmed.com/Schedule this webcast into MS-Outlook calendar (click open when prompted): http://apps.shareholder.com/PNWOutlook/t.aspx?m=44921&k=4AF62B18
Toll-free: (877) 383 - 7438 International: (678) 894 - 3975About SFP: SFP is a novel, investigational, continuous iron therapy designed to treat iron deficiency anemia in ESRD patients. SFP is a proprietary, water-soluble form of iron that travels directly to the bloodstream and transfers iron at a cellular level, similar to normal physiologic dietary iron intake. SFP is designed as a continuous maintenance treatment delivering small doses of iron during every dialysis session in order to replenish iron lost during the dialysis procedure, thereby maintaining hemoglobin in the target range as per Kidney Disease Quality Outcomes Initiative (KDQOI) recommendations. Clinical trials to date suggest that SFP, delivered during each dialysis treatment via dialysate, maintains optimal iron balance and avoids liver toxicity while decreasing associated drug administration costs. Recent academic studies have shown that more frequent maintenance doses of iron improve the therapeutic response to erythropoiesis-stimulating agents (ESA), thereby decreasing the ESA doses needed to maintain hemoglobin in the target range. Rockwell Medical has licensed exclusive world-wide rights to manufacture and sell SFP and patents have been issued for SFP in multiple countries, including the three largest dialysis markets in the world: the United States, Japan, and the European Union. Based on current market data, the U.S. dialysis market for IV iron is approximately $560 million annually while global market potential is approximately $850 million.

Polanski's The Ghost Writer Gets a Release Date, German-Language Trailer
Summit Entertainment announced a February 19 release date today for The Ghost Writer, the latest joint from house-arrested auteur Roman Polanski, completed on location in his adorable Swiss chalet. And if this and Switzerland's soon-forthcoming decision about Polanski's possible extradition to the U.S. weren't exciting enough, the film has a brand-new German-language trailer! Ghost stars Ewan McGregor as a guy helping Pierce Brosnan, a recently ousted British Prime Minister, write his memoirs. In this masterfully dubbed footage, characters take baths, run away from things, and get accused of war crimes. Also featured: Kim Cattrall and lots of angry whispering. Looks good to us.

Answer #1patrick mannion from Greg Solow's Engine Room, March 12, 2010, 19:16Master
This engine has valve clearance that are adjustable with various thickness "buckets" Its a big job to adjust them but that could be the noise. Have someone familiar with that engine/make of car look at it and say the noise is normal or not. Check it for oil and change the oil frequently.

Sheldon and I helped my dad paint Saturday, and earned some extra money. Sheldon was promised money on Friday, but was delayed (of course) until Sunday, and then delayed again. He's promised at least half of it by today.
I tripped on C's Saturday for the first time since like last summer. Great experience. It was really weird though, because I forgot what it felt like - it was like the first time. I felt like I was gonna puke though, every time I had to move. But I watched Requiem for a Dream which was cool, and I also experience my first time of having sex on C's. WHOA was that weird. But good. Very good.
Went to a family reunion Sunday...still kinda messed from the C's...it was strange...
