Women's Studies
(Printable version)
UW-Eau Claire's Women's Studies program creates a community of scholars and activists consisting of students, faculty, staff and community members. We hope you will consider joining that community. Instructors from a wide variety of disciplines aim to help you expand your knowledge base, improve your critical thinking and communication skills, and make important connections between your learning and your life.
Tell me more
Enacted as a discipline, Women's Studies is a site of social change and activism as much as theory. We provide many ways for you to expand your world view, from rigorous, rewarding classes on campus to hands-on learning experiences in the Eau Claire community and across the nation and globe. For example, you can:
• Learn about LGBTQ social movements and plan the Eau Queer Film Festival through a travel seminar in San Francisco.
• Interact with women leaders of the American Civil Rights Movement and study their achievements through a class that features a 10-day experiential learning excursion to significant southern locations where the movement unfolded.
• Study with UW-Eau Claire faculty and engage in community service in Nicaragua, site of arguable the most dynamic women's movement in Latin America.
• Take a winterim course with Indian students and faculty at the world renowned Miranda House College, New Delhi, India.
Through such experiences you can learn to connect feminist theory with social practice, becoming a knowledgeable and engaged citizen in our interconnected world.
Much to gain
There is much to gain from taking Women's Studies courses. Women's Studies prepares you to think critically while developing open-mindedness. Diverse topics in both Women's Studies courses and elective classes in other departments makes the breadth of a Women's Studies degree
uniquely wide. You will also explore in depth the intersections among sexism, racism, classism, heterosexism, cisgenderism, ableism, ageism, and other forms of oppression. This makes our courses socially and personally relevant. Pursuing Women's Studies is a great way to increase your sense of competency and to prepare well for meaningful work after graduation.
engagementThrough the Women's Studies program, you can begin to make a positive difference in society during your undergraduate years. All majors and minors participate in a capstone experience where students collaborate closely with a community partner to develop and implement a plan of action or research. Youcan also gain workplace experience through an internship or volunteer on campus (e.g. for the UW-Eau Claire Women and Gender Equity Center, Center for Awareness of Sexual Assault, and annual prduction of The Vagina Monologues) or in the local community (e.g., for Bolton Refuge House, the Wisconsin AIDS resource Center, the Eau Claire County District Attorney's Office Victims Assistance Programs, and local women's magazines).
Women's Studies (36 credits)
Women's Studies (24 credits)
Certificate program
Women's Studies (12 credits)

Course work
The women's studies major requires 36 credits and the women's studies minor requires 24 credits selected from several core courses. For a complete listing, see the UW-Eau Claire Catalogue or the women's studies web pages. Students also are required to complete a capstone externship, (Wmns 496). The certificate programs are designed for those students who have a strong interest
in studying women/or LGBTQ issues, but who are not able to complete the requirements for a major or minor in women's studies. The certificates are also particularly appealing to those students in

Another month, another list of failures. Such is the life of a poet.
Bookstores, we hear, are in trouble.
You certainly wouldn't know that if you were among the many who stepped into The Book Man on a rainy Saturday afternoon last weekend.
I was fortunate to have been invited to the Chilliwack, BC, book store to read from Drawing Back to Take a Running Jump. And the place certainly was jumping on this Saturday.
People were browsing the stacks, asking for titles and authors, chatting with one another and the staff, then heading to the checkout with armloads of books.
This week my new book Drawing Back to Take a Running Jump is featured on Book Club Buddy, which means that you can win a free copy. Just read the short profile, answer a question, and you are entered.
An interview that I did with playwright Andrew Kooman is also posted on his site now. Check it out.
And while I'm doing the promotional thing, my March 10 reading at The Book Man in Chilliwack, BC, is confirmed for 2:00 pm. If you live in the Chilliwack or Abbotsford area, I hope you can stop by.
It was a fine evening at Cadboro Bay Book Co in Victoria on February 9. Owner Patricia Jutra was the gracious hostess for the store's first Poetry Night, featuring E.D. (Ted) Blodgett, Susan McCaslin and me.
In the process, I launched my new Selected Poems collection, Drawing Back to Take a Running Jump.
Ted and I have a passing acquaintance from our days, way back in the early 1980s, as founding members of the Writers Guild of Alberta. It was great to catch up on Ted's work and to discover Susan's.
If you live on Vancouver Island, in the B.C. lower mainland, or in Edmonton AB, I hope you can catch one of my upcoming readings.
On Thursday, February 9 at 7pm I will launch my Drawing Back to Take a Running Jump (Selected Poems) at the Poetry Night at Cadboro Bay Book Co. I will be joined by poets Ted Blodgett and Susan McCaslin. If you're coming, come early - space is cozy but limited.
It's here!
There's nothing like holding a printer's proof in hand to feel that a book project is nearly complete. This is me, slightly crazed but happy, with the proof for Drawing Back to Take a Running Jump: Selected Poems.
I love the cover design by my friend, Ottawa writer David Weedmark. With this book, David kicks off his new Weedmark Publishing venture.
A sense of loss is to be expected when someone in our lives passes away. When the deceased person has been a mentor we are fortunate to be able to offset some of those losses with a recognition of what has been gained – all the riches of wisdom and experience that the mentor contributed to our lives.
For me, all creative writing is about trying to make meaning from the human experience. This thing called life is a deep, broad, scattered, fleeting mystery and writers feel compelled to explore it.
I'm taking a shot at Twitter. As in, I'm giving it a try, not aiming criticism. Certainly it's an easy enough target for criticism or parody.
Have you read the new novel by Nicholson Baker? I highly recommend it to poets, failed poets, would-be poets, readers of poetry (are there any of those who aren't in the first three categories I listed?) and lovers of rhyme and wordplay. Nicholson has a riotous time within his character of Paul Chowder, a mid-level poet who is anguishing over an Introduction he has agreed to write for an anthology of rhyme. From the very direct first phrase ("Hello, this is Paul Chowder…"), Baker creates with hilarious effect the simultaneously brilliant and befuddled character.

Welcome to Breast Imaging at Beth Israel Deaconess Medical Center. The BreastCare Center's highly specialized radiology program is the place to go for your routine mammogram or for diagnostic screenings and procedures that will help us gain further insight. Our Breast Imaging specialists will provide you with trusted breast health expertise, accuracy, and the most up-to-date information — in a leading medical facility with a full range of the most advanced equipment.
Led by Tejas S. Mehta, MD, MPH, Chief of Breast Imaging and Co-Director of the Breast Imaging Fellowship Program at BIDMC, our team of radiologists and technologists meet the highest standards in performing both routine screenings and diagnostic procedures, while offering patients and their families support, comfort, and answers.
Many of our highly trained technologists have worked in Breast Imaging at BIDMC for a long time, and some are a familiar face to our patients. We make every effort to accommodate requests for a specific technologist when scheduling your annual mammogram.
For your convenience, we offer both routine and diagnostic mammogram services at several locations:
All of our screening locations offer same day and/or walk-in appointments; we also offer early morning, evening and weekend screenings at some locations.
Learn more »
In addition, we now offer 3-D mammography (digital breast tomosynthesis), the most advanced technology for breast screenings.
Learn more »
While there is more hope than ever for breast cancer patients, we know it is much more treatable when detected early. Detecting the disease as early as possible is done with effective routine screening and diagnostic tests.
Our Breast Imaging specialists also perform the following imaging and procedures in the BreastCare Center at BIDMC:
Some of our other screening locations do offer diagnostic services; these screenings must be ordered by a physician and appropriately scheduled.
Learn more »
If you are a breast cancer patient, our radiologists are part of the team of breast surgeons, medical and radiation oncologists, and nurse practitioners that will conference together to review your information and combined recommendations for the best treatment options for your particular breast cancer. We present your imaging studies and our pathologists review the results of your tissue biopsy. Together, our team comes up with a treatment plan — focused solely on you.
Several of our radiologists actually helped develop the standards used by the American College of Radiology's (ACR) mammography accreditation program. These standards guide us as well as other breast imaging programs at medical institutions across the country. We are a Breast Imaging Center of Excellence, as designated by the ACR — meeting ACR's requirements for mammography centers and going beyond what is expected.
Meeting high technical and medical standards is just part of what we do so well. We are sensitive to the emotional needs and concerns patients and their families might have surrounding breast care, too. Another top priority for us is to make sure our patients are comfortable and address any questions they and their families have.

Anyone who knows ''Charlotte's Web'' and ''Stuart Little'' knows also that E.B. White is the class act of children's literature: imaginative, compassionate, dignified, funny. This cartoon adaptation of his third kids' book, The Trumpet of the Swan, is a pox on the man's memory.
The tale of a mute swan who finally finds voice via a trumpet, the film features charmless songs, junky animation, hambone voice talent (Jason Alexander, I'm talking to you), deeply square attempts to be hip, and a narrative tone that changes migratory direction every five minutes. ''Well, I enjoyed it,'' said my 4-year-old, and so she did. Rent the video for your own kids, then -- or help their taste buds develop by reading them the book as well.

Showbiz drama Beyond the Lights Is Familiar But Cutting
By Stephanie Zacharek
Wolverine's origin story is never revealed; it's merely hinted at in vague flashback, in dream sequences far more disturbing than anything else the movie offers. It's suggested that he's the product of a hideous experiment, yet another allusion to Nazi atrocities, but such revelations never occur. Wolverine then becomes our cynical stand-in -- the nonbeliever trapped in Fantasyland. But the movie's alive only when Wolverine's on screen; it's built around him, and it crumbles without him to prop it up. He's the smartass and the badass, leery to the point of disdain. He mocks the wheelchair-bound Professor Xavier ("What do they call you -- Wheels?") and taunts Cyclops ("Keep your eye open") with gleeful derision. He is, in some ways, the most real of the mutants.
Cyclops is simply too much of a square to hold our interest; he is, as Wolverine rightly assesses, "a dick." Storm, with her blank eyes and banal power (she whips up wind and lightning), barely exists at all. And Jean Grey is too much of absolutely nothing -- though what is one to do with a superhero whose sole power is that she can move objects and read minds? It's telling that the film's best moment comes when the Toad leaps offscreen and crushes a man to death: The audible squish makes for a terrific punchline.
What's most frustrating is that the movie hints at a brewing war between humans and mutants but never follows through: Sen. Kelly's early rants (during a speech on the Senate floor, he holds up "a list of known mutants") are merely a taunt -- an excuse. The movie plods toward a mutant-on-mutant climax, which is so badly directed that you can barely tell who's fighting whom; with their generic black outfits (a poor stand-in for the comic's bright yellow-and-blue uniforms, which are made fun of late in the movie), the X-Men all look alike in the dark. So much for metaphor.
More maddeningly, the film feels as though it's missing huge chunks; it defies its own logic (especially any scene featuring Mystique). To rectify that, Marvel has released a series of comics that fill in the blanks, and, in doing so, has turned the comic-movie tie-in into the most cynical marketing ploy this side of the Pet Rock. To understand the movie -- the characters' pasts, their motivations, their relationships -- you have to buy the comics, which explain how Professor X and Magneto met, how Wolverine came by his indestructible skeleton, how Rogue was the target of government operatives. All that may sound like mundane fanboy garbage (and it is), but it's more like lazy storytelling. It's the ultimate give-up, an admission of guilt: The movie's plot is utter nonsense ... until you read these. Turns out the most powerful mutant of all is Greed.
Opens July 14.

10 years after introducing 43 Things to the world, we have decided we have met our last goal: completing the incredible experience that has been 43 Things. Please join us in giving one last cheer to all the folks who have shared their goals with the world, as well as all the people who have worked at The Robot Co-op to build this incredible website. We won a Webby Award, published a book, and brought happiness to a lot of people.
Starting today, 43 Things users can export their goals and entries from the site. Starting August 15, we will make the site "read only". 43 Things users will still be able to view the site and export their content, but we won't be taking any new content from users. We hope to leave the site up for folks to see and download their content until the end of the year. Ending on New Year's Eve takes us full circle.
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.

Totally worth it but it depends on what guy though and i have the best. I love him so much. I would totally get married if we werent under age teens who are in middle school. haha
I ride elephants in India all the time. It's alot of fun. everyone in India rides elephants.
I am only 13 and I am getting paid $250.00 a day just by sitting on my ass and babysitting.
It makes life so much easier!
Sometimes, when i keep in touch with old friends, they tie me down to my past and I can't continue my life in the future. It's great if that friend stays with you for the rest of your life, but make sure its a symbiotic relationship.
Yoga is great. But it takes practice. I remember the first time i tried it and I got stuck in the position for 25 mins until someone finally heard me screaming. LOL
Writing a book is such a good experience for anyone. It tells people how you think and its a great way to express yourself. Everyone should try it.

Green Spaces
Beacon Food Forest
Plans are under way to integrate a Food Forest into the current designs for the area adjacent to the west side of Jefferson Park. Located just 2.5 miles from downtown Seattle, Jefferson Park hosts a variety of recreational opportunities, one of which could be community gardening. A Food Forest is a gardening technique or land management system that mimics a woodland ecosystem but substitutes in edible trees, shrubs, perennials and annuals. Fruit and nut trees are the upper level, while below are berry shrubs, edible perennials and annuals.
Beacon Hill Gardening Club
The Beacon Hill Gardening Club seeks to grow a colorful garden of friendships, as well as fruits and flowers. Gardeners of all interests and levels of experience are welcome. In the past, their activities have included movie nights at the Garden House in conjunction with the Beacon Food Forest project, Canning Connections preserving classes (with Rainier Valley Eats), progressive dinners in each others' gardens, and more. The club meets in the evenings on the fourth Thursday of odd months at the Garden House, 2336 15th Ave. S. Dues are $12 per year.

i have a feeling she like went away for school or something.
so basically, there went my chance.
but not totally giving up hope and stuff.
this doesnt mean im going to go mope and stuff. im still living life.
10 years after introducing 43 Things to the world, we have decided we have met our last goal: completing the incredible experience that has been 43 Things. Please join us in giving one last cheer to all the folks who have shared their goals with the world, as well as all the people who have worked at The Robot Co-op to build this incredible website. We won a Webby Award, published a book, and brought happiness to a lot of people.
Starting today, 43 Things users can export their goals and entries from the site. Starting August 15, we will make the site "read only". 43 Things users will still be able to view the site and export their content, but we won't be taking any new content from users.

she wasnt working.
i have a feeling she like went away for school or something.
so basically, there went my chance.
but not totally giving up hope and stuff.
this doesnt mean im going to go mope and stuff. im still living life.
the highlight of my life right now?
in the past week a total of 5 girls have turned me down.
the one that literally just happened was the worst.
but she was the most upfront about it.
im not letting this bring me down.
time to focus on bigger and better things.
the past couple days have been awesome. i met this girl at my current job, and we started actually talking basically because i told her my interest for her.
then i made the best of friend at my current job who seriously is all around amazing.ha
well i got a call this morning from my previous job.. it was a job offer. they need someone and want me to come back.
i really dont know what to do. my current job is an easy job, but its drama and stressful because of the only other 2 employees.
if i take the job offer though, then i wont be able to see danielle anymore becuase it on the other side of town, which she does not go to.
i am sure me and allison will still see each other and hang out.. but i just started things with danielle..
so like seriously.. what do i do? they need an answer. and so do i.
barista vs. party coordinator/manager
this is terrible. i am starting to feel depressed because of this decision.
i dont want to end up getting stuck at either places though..
what do i dooo?
i just really dont know.
life is nothing but problems that youre forced to deal with properly.
and on the side note.. i really would like if danielle would be more assertive.
that might be able to make this a little easier..
but! if she was serious about 'talking' to me, than me going to another job wouldnt
keep us apart… ya know.
god. girls are so difficult.
still dont know…
this may sound like a step in the wrong direction. but for me, its a step in the right direction.
1. he text me. basically saying come over and hang out. i was with john. and didnt make a point to hurry. i said i would text him when i left work.
and i didnt. and thats good.
as many time as he has left me hanging, or not responded.
and we allll know what would have happened if i would have gone over there. and that definitely doesnt need to be happening now, or any time soon. with anyone.
so i am proud about that.
seeing him twice a week at school is enough.
thank goodness for the different time schedule otherwise i would see him everyday.. and that would eventually have torn me down i am sure. but i am no longer at that level anymore.
2. she texted me as well. had plans to hang out one night. but she bailed out of course. had plans to hang out again. and it was for sure going to happen. i was even on my way to go pick her up.
then he asked if her roommate can come.
then i thought 'well she does have a girlfriend, so either shes bringing her roommate along to try to hook me up with her, or just for it to be plain awkward so nothing fun would happen."
and then i realized, i am always the person that goes out on a limb to hang out with these dumb people. so i turned off my phone, turned around, and went home.
then i texted her back explaining my phone died. its not like i remembered where she lived anyways. so whateverrrrr on that.
haha dont you love how convenient texting makes everything?
yeah, well i hate it. it makes people able to be too low key about everything.
maybe its just the people i associate myself with.
not anymore obviously.
i am finally taking a stand for myself.
ive realized that this is a big step for me. it really is.
i am not going to be taken advantage of anymore.
i dont want to be that person.
i am leslie, goddammit.
what am i doing wrongg?
i hate accounting. i am just stuck and dont get it!
what do i do?
i am just upsetting myself.
but i am getting very impatient.
would be it be a totall bad move if i take one girl that i really like to the club that a previous girl i liked works there…
but i really am going there to see that 'old' girl…
and then to spend time with the 'new ' girl after..
i know thats a totallllly bad idea… and i probably wont go through with it..
but thats what i was thinking of all last night practically…
see what happens when i run into 'old' friends…
crazyy ideas mann..
just a small step.
but it makes a big difference to me.
but i was the one that made it
i wasnt worried about what i was going to get back, or if it would have even been acknowledged.
but so far so good. [:
so i am happy i did it. i am also very proud of myself.
now i gotta move onto the BIG steps…
ohh yay!
i took my step.
as did she.
so we met in the middle.
ok so going 'clubbin' tomorrow…
to say the least.. i have been to clubs at least 56 times… but every time i go i really dont enjoy myself.
i never dance. i never just let loose.
but its really important that i do dance and loosen up tomorrow cause i need, well would like to, impress and hopefully win someone over…
no matter how many times i try i just cant seem to let myself have fun at a club.. dance wise and stuff…
what could i possibly do?
shes a dork…. thats why i am fallin…
but i guess i will just end up bailing out for tomorrow, and just stop/end it.
what the point if she already has someone.
just go with them. what do you need me for?
yeahh sorry girl.
no bueno.
[unless.. brittany is just saying that shit to fuck me over so that girl can actually be with her.. but it still just doesnt add up..]
this is already just waste a time and nothing has even happened yet but a few 'heys'.
so stop it before it begins.

Important Notice : Avoiding Fraud
It's rare, but some helpful hints to watch out for with regards to fraud:
- It is important to NEVER wire funds or use/employ other fund transfer mechanisms such as western union: Always use a credit card to protect yourself against fraud. If owners pressure you into providing a deposit or refuse to accept credit cards, there is a high probability that this is a scam.
- If at all suspicious of fraud, ask to see their website, or any other literature they can provide or send to you. Ask them for contact details for guests who have previously stayed on their property insisting on telephone numbers. Be suspicious of emails that originate from free email services (yahoo, hotmail, gmail, etc)
- Research the property thoroughly on the internet to see if there is any history or mention of scams associated with the property.

Canelo vs. Trout this Saturday at the Alamodome in San Antonio, Texas
@bearcat eat a fat d**k … If you wanna clean up America start by killing yourself
This is the biggest fight this year. I just hope I don't see Trout running for 2 minutes and 30 seconds like Rigondeaux. That was horrible.Posted April 16, 2013
HenchmenPosted April 15, 2013
@ eder
We're having ceviche saturday night..Posted April 15, 2013
Canelo all the way.. I wish I could just see Dan Ambrose's face when he sees Canelo win the fight..5 more days and we' ll see who is the bestPosted April 15, 2013
Gb didn't want fight trout because there is no money in it, if canelo was fighting cotto it would be ppv. Whether canelo will win or not is another story. Big ups to canelo for making the fight, and taking a pay cut, against the never exciting to watch trout.Posted April 15, 2013
i don't think canelo is special, but hi will beat trout.Posted April 15, 2013
Jack Cates
I just wanna know what you guys are going to say when King Canelo knocks out trout no doubt. I will be laughing so hard when i see trout on the floor. not cause i dont like trout. i like him. but his fans and most of all this guy dan amgross is making me despise trout. canelo is going to lay this fool out. and i am going to be filled with joy when this happens. i cannot believe how you guys fail to give respect to canelo. he sells out arenas all the time. is the biggest star next to floyd and pac. how many tickets did broner sell. like 1k. hahaha. idiots.Posted April 15, 2013
Boxer Puncher
Hell Mexico will be empty when they hear about the water canon and free bath.Posted April 15, 2013
Ambrose is already making lame excuses for trout losing the fight. Not confidant in the BS u writing about !!
Canelo is going to win the fight. Look at his power he has. He is going to take it to trout. I just see trout winning only three rounds. Canelo will dominate and Ambrose is going to be looking like a duck .Posted April 15, 2013
Carlos Valenzuela
PUNCHIN POWER SHOTS, THE ONES THAT COUNTS THE MOST..THATS THE WAY PROFESSIONAL BOXING IS…Posted April 15, 2013
The Greatest
Trout got a fair shake in Madison Square Garden that was probably 99.99% of a pro Cotto crowd. The judges played absolutely no role in the outcome of that fight. Stop the lame excuses, please.Posted April 15, 2013
i see pendej0
Boxer make sure u don't drop Ur keys!! Little Cabron, u know what they said obt inmatesPosted April 15, 2013
@ boxer puncher I guess your family will be in the mix with the animals. Your such a coward to talk behind the blog, this is the only place you feel man enough to do it. Or would you give up your location?
Its all about the judges who they are, we do have some good judges. Something needs to be in place for these so called judges and be banned from ever judging another fight after a few bad judgements. If this was to happen we can clean up the boxing world and get more fans to come back. Everyone is tired of the bad decisions made. Boxers train to hard to lose a fight on a bad decision.Posted April 15, 2013

lol did alvarez leave ireland on a ship at 2 weeks old and ended up in mexico beatin up older kids for money, food etc?? lol lighten up guys hahahahaPosted April 15, 2013

AMBROSE, THIS SOUNDS LIKE A LAME JUSTIFICATION FOR WHAT'S GOING TO HAPPEN..MY GREETINGS FROM GUADALAJARA MEXICO…Posted April 15, 2013
say result's canelo with the same style of slow and flat footed and can't handle a fighter's movement trout will box him like he should not because some fnn's want him to stand there for canelo and make it easy for him /trout will box canelo/rig boxed donaire/alvarado boxed rios/bradley boxed provod and exscaped and floyd will box the ghost wake up people these are the same style's these fighter's have that does not work walking strait and can't make adjustment's can't fight backing up those guy's that don't care about taking punishment look at them because they want to stand and brawl to bad. a boxer has showed you all what boxing is hit and not be hit and good movement look at the styles cotto.rios.donaire.ortiz.canelo and other's once again same result's against a boxerPosted April 15, 2013
Boxer Puncher
Animal control are also on standby, as the stadium will be filled with inmates out on a day release program.Posted April 15, 2013

Boxer can u get new jokes bro!!! I just tired of reading the same pendeja%das I think u have a Mexican pito up Ur asssPosted April 15, 2013
50,000!!!!! And thats just one family!Posted April 15, 2013
Unfortunately Trout isn't much of a power puncher, it will be tough for him to finish this fight. I don't think Trout can win a decision if it comes close. I just hope it is more entertaining than Rigo-Donaire.Posted April 15, 2013
troy 24
can't waitPosted April 15, 2013
you right ambrose,, it doesnt matter if trout gives some problems to canelo, he can't win this fight, no infront of 45,000 mexicans.. sorry about that.Posted April 15, 2013
Emmanuel Dopedran Pedquiao
Of course this fight isn't fair, but that's boxing nowadays. This fight is going 12, but this won't be as one-sided as the Donaire/Rigondeaux fight, so either way, Canelo will get the decision. Trout has to pull a Marquez and knock Alvarez out.Posted April 15, 2013
like i say before, trout is weak.. no punch, he can't run all night,, canelo has better jab and speed hands, better skills almost in everything, for me is an easy fight for the mexican, thats way Canelo and GB took it.Posted April 15, 2013
Boxer Puncher
The Cops are on standby, due to a large congregation of unsavory Mexicans.Posted April 15, 2013
dan i see canelo putting smart pressure on trout hurting him making him woble but trout landing more but canelos shots will make the gudges think canelo will win rounds because of his stronger punches but canelo will throw and land less shotsPosted April 15, 2013

When Damien asked me to keep the 13 free for "something", I knew that it was probably going to be interesting. All would be revealed by post he said. And yes, yes it was. This arrived in the post this morning:
And it's all to do with this:
If you're interested, a few of us Twitter folk are having a Princess Bride Twitter evening on Thursday August 13th at 8pm. At 8pm on the button we all press play on the DVD in our drives and start watching while sharing the experience (i.e. comment loudly) on Twitter… It's a fun shared experience. I was thinking the hashtag for the event could be: #asyouwish
Have you seen The Princess Bride? It's a pretty amazing film from 1987.
Directed by Rob Reiner, it's a fairy tale with swordplay, giants, an evil prince, a beautiful princess and stars Cary Elwes, Robin Wright, Wallace Shawn, Andre the Giant, Fred Savage and Peter Falk.
There's also Billy Crystal, Mel Smith, Carol Kane and Wallace Shawn. The Oscar nominated soundtrack is by Mark Knopfler.
There's some fantastic quotes. You know them when you hear them.
Here's the trailer:
Have you seen it? No? Well, Thursday August 13 is your chance. Deadly, a good reason to have a night in!

Lets start with February. Snow totals were at or above average for almost everyone leading to extra water across the area. If you melt the snow down, liquid totals are almost even more impressive with upwards of an inch and half of liquid in parts of the northeast, which is a lot of moisture for this time of year. But the totals so far this year are less than impressive for much of the country. Granted, there is several more weeks before the season is complete, but it would take a near record wet March to get most of the country back to normal.
The amount of snow we received over the last month has played a large roll in what temperatures have done, which is pretty typical. Remember that snow has a very high albedo because its white. Albedo is the measurement of the amount of sun light that is reflected back into space which doesn't allow the solar radiation to heat the ground. Snow is the best natutral reflector of light, which is why it is so bright when the sun is shining and there is snow on the ground. This really shows for temperatures through the course of February. The warmest locations had the least amount of snow cover through the month with the coldest locations having the most.
This moisture, unfortunately, was no match for our current drought, although it will be good for replenishing lake and river levels, but won't do much for soil moisture.
As for the next few days, another storm is on the horizon, but its tough to determine exactly where its going to end up and what type of precipitation will fall considering temperatures will be very close to freezing. Here is just one forecasting computer model showing the potential for a band of heavier snow across our area.
The exact placement of this 4 to 8 inch snow band is in question, but this just shows you that several inches of snow is a possibility Sunday night through Monday.

Big weekend for Boyle, Mercer
The Boyle County and Mercer County baseball teams took significant steps forward by winning invitational tournaments last weekend. Boyle won the Pete Royse Honorary Showdown hosted by East Jessamine and West Jessamine, and Mercer won the Male Bulldog Bash.
Boyle beat West Jessamine 2-0, East Jessamine 5-3 and Nicholas County 7-1 to win the Jessamine tourney, committing only two errors in the three games.
"We had a really good weekend. The team came together and played really well," Boyle coach David Camic said.
Mercer lost a 17-13 decision to Shelby County but beat Lawrence County 5-4 and Male 9-3 to win Male's tourney. The Titans tied Male in the round-robin standings at 2-1 and took first place because of their win over the 15th-ranked Bulldogs.
Matthew Robertson was the winning pitcher in the Male game, and Mercer coach Spence Chitwood said he thinks the junior right-hander is starting to round into the form he has shown in the past.
But Chitwood said the win over Male and the successful weekend were a team effort, as evidenced by the fact that all 19 Titans in uniform played in the Male game.
"This was a big accomplishment for our team," Chitwood said. "We're real excited with how we played this weekend."

A scheduled change at Danville means the first night game at Admiral Field will not be Wednesday's All "A" Classic sectional playoff against Bishop Brossart, but instead will be Tuesday's 45th District game against Lincoln County, which has been moved to 7 p.m., following a 5 p.m. junior varsity game.

KNOXVILLE, Tenn. (WVLT) -- Dozens of people have been indicted in a massive drug bust by Knox County officials.
In three different presentments to the Grand Jury, 26 different people were indicted, some involved in two or more of the cases. The charges vary from conspiracy to deliver a controlled substance, possession of marijuana with intent to sell, possession of cocaine with intent to sell and some gun charges.
In one case, 12 people were indicted on the conspiracy charges. Two of them were also charged with possession with intent to deliver marijuana. In the second case, five people were named on the conspiracy to deliver a controlled substance charges. In the third, 14 people were indicted, some named specifically for possession with intent to deliver cocaine charges.
Only one name appears on all three presentments: Taurus Lemar Dunn. The documents say he received marijuana and another substance from some of the other defendants to distribute further, and that he transported more than 300 grams of cocaine in the county.
Knoxville Police say the investigation is ongoing and they cannot discuss any aspects of the operation at this time.

A recent Turf Advisory Service visit found small mounds of soil on a practice green that resembled ant hills at first glance. On further inspection, the mounds had small tunnels that extended into the turf. A soap flush using one teaspoon of dish washing soap per gallon of water revealed several small mole cricket nymphs of different sizes emerging from the putting green.
Mole crickets are subterranean insects that tunnel through the soil in search of food. They cause turf damage by severing roots and their tunneling creates tufts of turf on the surface that are scalped by mowers. Tunneling from overwintered adult mole crickets was reported previously this year (see Florida Regional Update - March) but overwintered adults generally cause minor turf damage due to low population numbers. Later in spring, however, adult females dig small underground chambers, about the size of a golf ball, and lay up to 60 eggs within each clutch. Tunnels from emerging nymphs are often observed in bunkers, giving superintendents warning as to when to treat the golf course with the appropriate insecticide. If left untreated, tunneling from recent hatches can become quite severe in areas with large mole cricket populations.
There are several insecticides labeled for mole cricket control on golf courses (see Universtity of Florida publication #ENY-324) but it is important to apply these products in a timely manner, as mole cricket nymphs can grow and damage turf quickly. Some insecticides are rather short-lived and outbreaks can quickly re-emerge following treatment. These are usually fairly inexpensive options. For a few dollars more there are insecticides available with longer residuals and that are guaranteed by the manufacturer to provide season-long mole cricket control.

Later that night, police received a call at 9:20 p.m. about a suspicious person in the Tippecanoe subdivision. Police responded to the call with the Sheriff's Office helicopter, patrol deputies and a K-9 unit. The suspect was taken into custody. The man matched the description of the armed robber and was identified by the Sweetbay clerk. The suspect, Bradford Wilson, 51, was charged with armed robbery with a firearm.

Summer is almost over, and although many of us are sad because we have to go back to school, get used to wearing heavy coats again, or no longer can go the beach, here are five reasons why I cannot wait for this season to be over.
1. Bugs. One thing I love about the winter is that there are no bugs. I would love to enjoy summer nights without having to drown myself in OFF or worry about getting itchy mosquito bites every night. Not to mention, I won't miss my weekly spider capturing in my room (why do I always seem to find them on my ceiling just as I am about to fall asleep?).
2. Sweating. Every girl has had to have experienced this before. You do your makeup, do your hair, put on a cute outfit, and the second you step outside of your house, BOOM: sweaty pits, frizzy hair, runny makeup. It usually takes me a few weeks into the summer until I completely stop trying to look presentable.
3. Acne. For some reason, I tend to get virtually no acne during the colder months (dry skin, perhaps?). But during the summer, my skin gets out of control. If I place my hand on my face for only a few minutes, sure enough, it becomes a pimple sanctuary in no time. Yuck.
4. Sand. I love the beach, but the one thing I wish I didn't have to deal with every time I go is the sand. The second any part of you gets wet, it sticks to you like glitter; you can rub it all you want, but all of it will never all go away. Not to mention, if you unexpectedly get tossed around by a wave, you may find sand in crevices you never even knew you had.
5. Periods. Nothing is worse than having your period during on a hot summer day. No further explanation necessary.
Are you sad that summer is almost over, Lovelies? What is your least favorite part about the summer season?

How to Be a Butch Lesbian
Have you ever felt that you were a Butch Lesbian? Butches can be very attractive, handy, and even sweet. The challenge is balancing the style so it looks good.
1Ask yourself a few questions. Why do you want to be butch? Do you feel attractive and natural in this look? Or is this just a cheap scheme to get women's attention? Can you handle people knowing about your sexuality? How will others react?Ad
2Develop more masculine mannerisms. Walk with more confidence and stride. Don't slouch or sit with your legs together. Watch the way men move and move like them. Try to only copy more of the popular guys, when observing them think, is this guy cool? Does he seem attractive to girls? If yes, he is a good example since you do not want to move awkwardly.
3Get some masculine clothing. You can buy men's clothing, or, buy women's clothing that is boyish. Choose colors that you like in sizes that fit your body nicely. Some good things to get:
- A few polo shirts
- T shirts with cool designs on them. Try not to go with big logos or dorky souvenir shirts.
- Loose-fitting jeans. Not too baggy, not too loose. You can go with men's jeans or women's boy-cut jeans since those are made for a female frame.
- Dress clothes. Pants suits, shirts with ties, and nice shoes are great for special occasions. Do learn to tie a tie , as clip-ons are tacky.
- Accessories. Get a few belts and a nice watch (go for a neutral color). A chain to wear around your neck can look handsome.
- Shoes. You really only need 3 pairs: comfy shoes, dress shoes, and boots.
- Binder. Some butches dislike having large breasts and may wish to bind them down.
- Boxers No butch should wear girly undies. Go for comfort. Plaid, solid, or simple patterns are best. For the most part, you will be the only one that sees them; keep in mind that your girlfriend will see them so they need to look good.
- Messenger bag or backpack. Purses are to be avoided.
4Skip the make up. Concealer for blemishes and pimples is fine. Eyeliner is okay in small amounts and also make absolutely sure that your always brush your teeth.
5Get a short hair cut. Look at both women and men for inspiration. To find a look that will look good on you, ask the hair dresser what will match your face shape.
6Be active. Try to get into a sport or just work out. Be proud of your body and its strengths. Looking attractive and gaining muscle can also be a benefit.
7Act the part. Be confident and masculine. Be chivalrous and gentleman-like. Try your best to stay calm and in control of your emotions in public. Confidence is key, so be sure to take charge and be assertive. Most of all, be yourself.Ad
We could really use your help!
business writing?
raising children?
- If someone calls you "sir", don't get upset. If you mind, politely correct them with what you'd like to be called.
- Be your charming self. Don't be fake or try to pretend. People should like you for you.
- Men's clothes fit women differently. Make sure they feel right, if they do not support your body type your body will suffer. This goes double for footwear.
- Do be ready for people to possibly pick on you.
- If you are trying to be gentleman-like, do be courteous to men at all times.
- You can also wear a ponytail, nice and loose but not crazy.
- Be nice. "Angry lesbians" do not attract friends, get good jobs or get girlfriends. Friendly lesbians, on the other hand, do all of these things very well.
- Deep voices attract some women, so you may want to consider working on having a slightly more manly voice.
- Try wearing smart clothes such as cuffed jeans and chinos.
- Try to avoid conflicts with less accepting people if you can.
- Do not wear binders while exercising if you can help it.
- If you wear binders wear only one. Two binders can cause stress cracks to your ribs.
- Only use binders made for the intent of binding down breasts. Ace bandages and other things can cause injury. Do not use one if you are still going through puberty as this can cause stress cracks in your ribcage and stop your breathing.
- Some areas might be less accepting of those in the LGBT community. Use your head if people try to start a fight or insult you.
- Be mindful of public restrooms, if you look like a guy this can startle women and in some areas make you a target for harassment. (You can use the family bathroom, don't use the men's room you can get arrested)
Things You'll Need

|As I go around my home and paint, I'm noticing a lot of bangs, dents and lumpy bumps in moldings and beadboard. I really haven't done much in the way of pulling the moldings off for repair (filling holes or sanding lumps)..I'm actually scared to take the moldings off..I'm afraid they might break if I try to get them off! Back in the 1990's, our local historical society came to this house and took photos and featured some original details in a book they published. (the home was originally a tavern, circa 1814..and still retains some original moldings, doors, hardware, staircase and beadboard) I am hesitant to mess w/ anything that they took pictures of (for fear of ruining it!) but I find myself thinking about how nice it would be to have non-dinged up moldings as well as doors that matched (we currently have such a hodgepodge of different interior doors!). I feel a responsibility to "do no harm", especially because the historical society has shown so much interest in the home.....but I want to upgrade a bit from the shabby chic look that I have going on. (basically just painting over the imperfections)
What is the best way to compromise on appearance vs history? (Keeping in mind that I cannot afford to hire a professional restoration company and must do the work myself)
Follow-Up Postings:
|There is no requirement to pull off trim to repair minor damage, you just work on it in place.
Painted trim is easily repaired with minwax high performance wood filler and then painted again.
A well done job will be invisible.
|I always sand down and refinish antique furniture and steel-wool old coins till they sparkle like new! It's my stuff and that's the way I like it.
|Did you buy a 200 yr old home to make it perfect?
People PAY to have dents and dings in their furniture to get that old, historical look.
You can always make up stories of founding fathers fighting the British or French and thats why the dents etc. are there. Good conversation.
If you do remove trim etc. and nails stay in the trim, pull the nails through, toward the back (unfinished side) as to not further any finished side splitting. You may find the nails are the old square type. In that case, I would cut them off and leave them in the trim. Lots of damage "can" result in removing them. There is such a thing as a nail cutter at home imp. stores.
If you find any bullet holes that were filled, I would clean and leave them exposed. More cool stories.
Sounds to me that you have a wonderfully warm home. Something to take pride in. Beats the h**l out of a 1960's ranch on a cul-de sac. Just my OP.

|jiggreen, I'm with you. I love that it's old, but I don't want it to LOOK old and run down. I want it to look like it did in it's "glory days". I like the idea of the wood filler, sand it to blend it in, and apply a fresh coat of paint (if it's painted already). or stain. I wouldn't mess with removing it. There's too much at stake. Have you looked for salvage doors to try and match the older ones? That might bring a more cohesive feel for you while preserving the history. In my garage I have some old doors up in the rafters. I think they might be original bedroom doors, as the PO's now have hollow yucky doors. Someday I'll pull them out and measure them!
|"Did you buy a 200 yr old home to make it perfect?
People PAY to have dents and dings in their furniture to get that old, historical look. "
Sounds more like run-down.
And undamaged antique is worth far more than one with lots of 'patina.'
Few old things make it without some damage, making an undamaged item very sought after and valuable.
The more fragile the better.
An unbroken glass colonial candle sconce is worth a much larger amount.

|Houses are meant to be lived in. Repair things that are the result of abuse or neglect, save the evidences of habitation that are fair wear & tear. Decide for yourself which is which. I have seen mars on door jambs about 16" off the floor. Sometimes these are very deep scars. They are from the coal hod bringing in the fuel every cold night for 100 years. Is this abuse or wear? I lean toward wear, myself.

|You can live with imperfections much easier if what you are living with is clean, well maintained and workable for you.
Sometimes it's hard to see that when you are up close working on a house and everything seems to be torn apart and needing some kind of repair.
Imperfections in walls and woodwork fade away once furniture and other homey touches are there to fill the voids.
Houses, old or new are not perfect. Sometimes in the rush to fix up our houses we forget that they have a history to them. When we take the time to learn that history I think it makes us better caretakers. We understand why certain things in the house are as they are.
We have a house here in town with no windows on one side. Most folks would have gone and put windows in the side without them. Nope, the current owners have left it alone because they discovered the reason for the house being like that. Seems the house was built by a doctor. His wife was a busy body and a huge gossip. His office was the house next door. He didn't want her sitting by the window all day taking notes on who came and went so he had the house built with no windows on the side his office was on.
A thing they could easily changed BUT before they made the choice to change they did the research.
Knowing your homes history can change how you see and feel about those imperfections.

Please post your thoughts about Trey's performance at the 2010 BET Awards last night?
My thoughts... Sorry but with all honesty I was disapointed. I seen Trey performed live and I know he can sound better than what he did last night. I don't know if it was nevers or technical issues but he didn't sounded good at all. Really bad move including Purple Rain in the Song. I don't think Prince was happy about it. Anyways we live and we learn, we all have good days and bad ones. Congrats on your award!! your mom is really beautiful..
What are your thoughts about his performance?
