Devout parents often worry about the "secularizing" effects of sending their children off to college. They envision professors pushing secular thoughts and anti-religious values on their impressionable students. But professors are a more religious bunch than we've been led to believe.
Using data from the Politics of the American Professoriate study, Neil Gross and Solon Simmons (Sociology of Religion, Summer 2009) determined that about three-quarters of American professors are believers. Moreover, fully 35 percent of professors believe in God without any doubts, and many others have doubts but still profess to believe. Only 10 percent of professors are atheists. (Social scientists have fallen farthest from grace, with 23 percent professing atheism.)
While the university may seem a hostile environment for religion, the authors suspect academics are simply confining religion to their private lives. These inner believers seem to be finding ways to effectively balance their Sunday morning and Monday morning selves.

...This is what I thought when a big lump of placenta landed on my sanitary towel two months after giving birth to my beautiful daughter Poppy. I thought labour was painful, but this was like passing an elephant through my vagina.
After having Poppy, I felt seriously ill. However, the hospital and my own GP told me there was nothing wrong with me, and that it was normal to feel like this after giving birth. In fact after my GP told me that I had an alarming amount of white blood cells in my latest count but still didn't seem too alarmed I paid privatley to get to the bottom of the problem.The only issue health visitors or gynaecologists from the NHS seemed to care about was that I was not breast feeding. The fact that I could not breast feed because I was so unwell ( FYI I had retained placenta and my blood count was half what an average womens should be) didn't occur to them. Seven months later, after a lot of pain, fears that my vagina would fall out, unwelcome placenta-related surprises, postnatal depression, a lot of crying and a want for no other person to go through what I did with no support, I am here to help you!
My name is Elizabeth Hart and my volunteers and I want to make a difference in the local community and hopefully within the NHS in the future.
We are a non-for profit organisation run by volunteers that have experienced - either personally or professionally - the struggles of being a mother. We want to work together to help anyone struggling with postnatal depression, pregancy or being a mother. At Help!My vagina is falling out! your vagina doesn't have to be falling out for our help! For practical or emotional support we are here to help you. Along with 'Birthrights' we are campaigning for respectful treatment of women during pregnancy and childbirth.
Do you believe women should be treated with respect? Do you think every women going in to hospital to give birth should be treated as wonderfully as the next? No matter your age, religion, ethnicity or circumstance? If you do then you should join in our Mummy army and help those who are struggling within our community.

Vegan Lemon Cheese Cake— melowlyric 12/30/2009 |
Southern-style Collard GreensThis comes from one of my all time favorite cookbooks! Vegetarians need not be deprived of good Southern cooking! These are excellent served with anything fried or barbecued, and just about anything else you might serve cooked greens with. The dulse and the toasted sesame oil are meant to take the place of the salt pork that Southern greens are traditionally cooked with; the original recipe calls for 1/2 cup of dulse, but this has always been too much for me. I've found 1/4 cup dulse works great, but you may want to experiment to suit your own taste. — lizmari 12/29/2009 |

227 Moodie to McIntyre
Letter CANBERRA, 17 February 1949
personal and confidential
You may be interested to hear something about the Asian Conference in New Delhi. I am also writing to people at several other posts.
As you probably gathered, there was considerable doubt in Ministerial circles as to whether participation would be justified. The method of calling the Conference was very sudden, arising out of a speech [1] made by Nehru in Allahabad in one of his more impetuous moods. Thereafter the Government of India was committed and also, I imagine, there was a desire to take the initiative ahead of any other country in the area. Things were complicated here by the fact that our Minister [2] was on the high seas, the Prime Minister [3] was holidaying in Hobart and Mr.
Dedman, who was in charge in Canberra, felt some doubt as to the desirability and extent of our participation. (The Prime Minister's original proposal was that Mr. Dedman should go.) I personally think we were committed by our previous action and events proved the wisdom of our not limiting participation to observer status.
The press here was extremely suspicious and critical of 'little men running all over the world talking out of turn and too much'.
However, Burton was looking forward to attending the Conference and I was pleased to be returning to New Delhi, a pleasure tempered with apprehension about the hard work inevitably arising from any association with that human dynamo we have for a Secretary. Also I had a theory-quickly dispelled-that I might be able to have a couple of weeks' spell in India after the Conference and go up to the North-East frontier, or call in Afghanistan to deliver an overdue wedding present to some friends.
The Conference turned out well-far beyond the expectations of either of us. In the first place, the Indian organization was admirable. Things that I had expected would break down regularly (like transport) functioned smoothly all the time, except when we bungled it ourselves. We did have, of course, to contend at the lower levels with the inevitable Indian anxiety to please, coupled with inability to deliver the goods; but the people actually running the Conference were really good. Even John admitted this.
Nehru himself was Chairman all the way through and knew his facts.
Bajpai, Secretary-General of the Ministry of External Affairs and Commonwealth Relations, acted as principal adviser, and a younger man I knew before, called Dayal, was Secretary. This triumvirate were mainly responsible for the effectiveness of the arrangements.
We had anticipated arriving in New Delhi well equipped with documentation and ideas and finding all sorts of gaps in the Indian information and no very clear idea in their minds of what the Conference should do. However, at our preliminary discussions with Bajpai it was politely but firmly made clear to us that the Indians were well able to run their Conference without any preliminary help from us. Events proved that they were correct.
They had the whole thing mapped out, on the theory that if you do the work for other people they will generally accept the fruits of your labours.
The second impressive thing was the moderateness of all delegates.
There was no tendency either in public or private sessions to indulge in tirades or advocate impracticable schemes. We suspected that the Indians must have done some effective behind the scenes organising, but be that as it may, no country at any time suggested that anything should be done outside the United Nations, or even that there should be discussion on the form sanctions imposed by the Security Council against the Dutch might take. This was no small achievement with a collection of countries ranging from Ethiopia to the Philippines. In addition, in the private sessions everyone spoke briefly and to the point.
Four countries did most of the effective work: India, Pakistan, Ceylon and Australia. All four were put on the Drafting Committee which actually prepared the text of the resolutions [4], although here again Bajpai quickly asserted himself as primus inter pares and invariably had draft resolutions ready for discussion whenever the drafters met. The Pakistan party were led by Zafrullah Khan, who was perhaps the outstanding man at the Conference and obviously the Arab States represented there looked to him to give them a lead. There were no signs of bickering between Zafrullah Khan and Nehru in spite of the many differences between the two countries. In fact, in the Committee stages, everyone showed a marked readiness to compromise. Several times Nehru gave way to Australia on matters which we did not wish to have included in resolutions, e.g. consultation on questions other than Indonesia or a specific commitment to turn this Conference into an accepted regional organisation. In fact, they were leaning over backwards to ensure that they should not get tied to such a wide regional organisation.
The only discussion which might have become acrimonious developed over the question of a permanent regional organisation for all the countries represented at the Conference. Pakistan clearly favoured it and Syria also spoke strongly in support and asked why some countries were afraid of closer relationship. However, Zafrullah Khan did not wish to press the point. Hence the fairly innocuous wording of the third resolution about exploring means of collaboration, having regard to the areas concerned.
I am not sure of the Indian attitude on this point. I do not think they mind much whether there is one regional organisation or two, provided that they have a place in each. The fact that they took the initiative immediately the Conference was over in seeking formally the views of Governments represented proves that they want quick developments one way or another. [5]
Our position is rather uncertain. The Minister has said publicly that he favours a regional organisation for South East Asia, the idea presumably being that we would work in partnership with India. In practice, however, this would be difficult. On the one hand there are considerable doubts at home and in the Government as to the advisability of getting too closely tied to Asiatic countries. On the other there is India's own approach. India does desire to become the leading power in Asia and has no wish to have us, or anyone else, as her associate on equal terms in this process. She would be agreeable to a closer association with us in all sorts of ways, including defence, but she will want to be in the box seat herself. She will want to have the main say, despite official protestations to the contrary. I suspect this may not square with our line.
This brings us to a fundamental point, and one on which my ideas are pretty tentative. I would have liked two or three weeks in India to confirm them. The place has changed remarkably since I left in July, 1947, not only in geographical and political configuration, but in the attitude of the Indians themselves. In the period 1944 to 1947 their energies were concentrated on attaining independence and they seized very willingly on any gesture at all of sympathy and friendliness. Now that they have got their independence they have gained confidence and shed a good deal of their historical introspection. Indian political leaders don't feel any sense of isolation, and are satisfied that they have a good deal to give the world. (It is difficult without having lived in India to realise the contempt many educated Indians have for the Western countries which have been involved in two world wars in three decades.) All this means that they will collaborate with other countries but on their own terms. They do not feel any strong desire to join hands in equal partnership. The Hyderabad episode [6] makes it plain that they are capable of determined and ruthless action. So we needn't feel that they will feel any strong sense of gratitude just because we say nice things about them.
Nehru himself is undoubtedly a great inspiration, although vain and impetuous. I do not altogether trust some of his entourage-and this includes Bajpai-his sister, Mrs. Pandit, and some other members of the family group are not a good influence on him. I had several talks with a few people well placed in the administrative machine, like Lall, Secretary to the Governor-General and Bai, Nehru's Principal Private Secretary, and I gathered that India's official affairs are run on a somewhat 'personal' basis, also that no one in the Indian Government, except Nehru and Ayengar, has many clues on foreign affairs.
This new Indian attitude calls for different qualities in the people who are sent there. Our participation in the Conference was a good thing and John Burton made an extremely good impression on Nehru and the other Indians he met. That was quite obvious from the very marked contrast in their attitudes when we came and when we left-suspicion and caution in the first place, and smiles and friendliness at the end. But really that was primarily because we had served their purpose and I don't think we should count too much upon the goodwill we may have acquired at present. It could easily be dissipated.
Incidentally, the private sessions of the Conference were held in Hyderabad House, which shows that the Indians have not got much sense of humour.

I love this face wash. It is really great for your skin because it is soap free. I am really prone to breakouts, and ever since i started using it, i havent broken out. The product is really consentrated also, so you only need a small amount, aka it will last at least two months. The only reason i didnt give the product a "5" is because it doesnt remove all of my eye makeup.
This stuff broke my face out. Not only did it break mine out, but my hubby's too. He had been breaking out and finally told me one day he had been using my face wash and thats when we figured out it was this stuff. He NEVER has pimple problems! Sad to say, this got put in the dark closet!

This is the perfect everyday cleanser. I have dry, sensitive skin and this does not irritate either of my problems. It foams up a lot, and gets skin clean. The pump is a real plus, no more fumbling around with squeeze tubes.
Okay...so although I've only given this product a week or so, I am going to review and I plan on updating if I have any new thoughts about it. So far, I am loving it. First I love the pump dispenser, last wash I used didn't have one and it was pretty annoying. As for the product, it it lathers up nicely and yet it is still gentle and doesn't dry out my skin. Usually, nice lather = dont yawn or your cheeks will crack. This isn't the case with this wash which is a nice surprise. It still cleanses nicely though. I dont wear makeup everyday so I can't tell you how it removes makeup but I do know it cleanses my slightly oily skin nicely and leaves it very soft. My other favorite was Alpha Hydrox foaming cleanser...very nice but didn't leave my skin as soft as this olay does and it was a little drying. I really think this has HG potential.
1 out of 1 people found this review helpful. Did you? Yes No
I used this cleanser for many years until recently. I liked the price, and that it cleaned my makeup off thoroughly and left my skin feeling normal. However, because it has a fairly thick consistency, I found that it's important to actually put some onto your wet your hands and build up a little lather by rubbing them together before applying the product to your face (even if your face is already wet). I found that when I was tired or in a hurry, I would skip that step and my face would not get as thoroughly cleaned of dirt and makeup, and I'd start to get break outs. I stopped using it recently because a dermatologist gave me a cleanser with salycylic acid--we'll see how that goes!
I have only used this for a week, but the results have been great. I was using Merle Norman cleanser for sensitive skin, but it didn't foam and I was breaking out from what I think was leftover makeup. Anyway, I bought this and thought I'd try it. So far my face is very happy. my skin is clearer and clean, not dried out and it removes eye mu very well. I use differin as well and this goes great with my skin. Overall a good product especially for the price I paid 3.94 US$. Combo/oily/sesitive/acne prones try it-it can't hurt!!
More reviews by pinkysweetsxoxo
This works so well!! I SWEAR!! Usually the eymakeup i use is pretty thick and gets gunky when i use other soaps, and with this product i just rub my eyes with the soap and it comes off, it also taes away pimples or spots and if u have to open your eyes real quick for like... lets say a minute it doesnt even sting! Its soap free! woo for this!!!
Previously, I used Aveeno face wash but as I'm getting older, my skin is becoming increasingly dry. I wanted to find something that thoroughly cleansed but didn't make my skin so tight after I washed it. For the price and packaging, thought I'd give this a try. First night, it took all my make up off, including my heavy eyeliner and waterproof mascara. My skin felt a lot less dry afterwards. I used to have really bad acne problems so hopefully this won't cause any breakouts or blackheads. I'll be back to update.
Update: up to 5 lippies. working great for me and my skin is tre soft and clean. still no major acne breakouts. will def. buy again.
This is a good, basic and gentle face wash. It does not dry out my skin at all, but it also does not give that fresh, clean feeling that I like. Until I dry my face with a towel, it still feels like I have a residue there. The upside of that is that my face feels smoother throughout the day. There is a lot in the tube for a good price.
UPDATE: I am adding a lippie due to the fact that this cleanser has actually improved my skin after using for a couple of weeks. It feels more smooth and bright. I love it!

Stephany Cohen spoke to This Morning's Phillip Schofield and Holly Willoughby on Wednesday, as part of the programme's Supernatural Week.
Stephany told the presenters she is often visited by alien spirits at night, who not only offer her guidance but give her mind-blowing orgasms when they sneak into her mind.
"They tend to deal on a personal level with individuals. We all have guides and my guides only interact with me," she explained.
"A lot of the different races are highly charged sexually - it's part of their culture."
According to Stephany, the different species of aliens range from cat people to reptilians. Her closest spirit guide is "Ian the Octopus man".
He stays quite close to me, kind of like a spirit boyfriend and he happens to be from the Octopus race.Stephany Cohen
He stays quite close to me, kind of like a spirit boyfriend and he happens to be from the Octopus race.
Stephany Cohen
Sceptic Professor Chris French is not convinced aliens are the reasons for Stephany's active sex life.
"The obvious question is where the external proof is - it's all happening in Stephany's mind," he said.
"There are alternative explanations. There is a condition known as 'persistent genital arousal disorder' for example. There are a number of possible explanations," he added.
However, Stephany maintains there are aliens out there.
She said in the case of her spirit guides, they are not prone to showing off.
"When we look up at the stars at night - that's how prolific life in the universe is.
"They're not into showing off, they're quite reserved - they don't show themselves to the world like that.
"If you wanted to see them, they would do that through your guides," she added.

Hi Sally. Be careful, once you catch the Pin Trading bug, it's a difficult thing to overcome. :-)
There aren't many rules to follow, but there are a few, in regards to pin trading with Cast Members in the parks. Any trading you want to do outside the parks or with another guest in the parks is entirely up to you.
1) All pins *must* be official Disney Pins. They will have a stamp on the back that says "© Disney". No other kind of pin can be traded.
2) All trades are one-for-one. You can't try to trade one pin that you believe is a high-value for two or more pins that you believe are lower vlaue.
3) Each guest can trade up to two pins per cast member per day.
4) You cannot trade a pin to a cast member who is already wearing that same exact pin.
5) Only children can trade with cast members who are wearing green lanyards. Adults can only trade with CMs wearing blue or yellow lanyards
So long as those rules are followed, all CMs *must* trade for whatever pin you offer. You can trade with any CM you see wearing a lanyard, in the resorts, the theme parks, the water parks, and Downtown Disney. A couple rules of etiquette to follow:
* Always ask to see someone's pins, don't just go up to them and start staring
* Never touch another person's pin. If you want to examine it more closely, ask them to remove it from their lanyard for you.
* When you make the trade, give the pin to the other person in such a way as to not stick them with the pointy end. Either put the back on it before you hand it to them, or place it face down in the palm of your hand for them to retrieve.
Hope that helps. Feel free to let us know if you have more questions!

Four More Years
posted on november 3, 2004, tag: new york
So, that's that. Kerry just conceded. Congratulations, America—you've voted for four more years of invasions and war, economic decline, deficit, poor education, fucking the environment, shitty healthcare, running Social Security into the ground and more. Good for you. Oh, and let's not forget that Bush might have the opportunity to nominate three justices to the Supreme Court. See you later, Roe v. Wade. Oh, and I hope none of you people with cancer or Parkinson's expect to see a cure any time soon. At least not in this country.
The saddest thing about this whole election is that America is changing for the worse. We're becoming more and more conservative. What happened to the progressive America? What the fuck is wrong with you people? Is this all that you want in life? Is this the American dream? You think Bush is a fiscally responsible president? All you bastards who lost your jobs over the past 4 years still voted for him. What's wrong with you?
I'm especially outraged by the exit poll statistics on how many people voted for Bush because of his "morals." This is the closest election we've had in a long time and for all intents and purposes, it was decided by religion. I'm sickened. Canada looks really good to me right now. I'm sure I'll write something a little more eloquent at some point but for right now I can't even get it all out. This is a sad, sad day for this country. I'm ashamed.

Boo hoo... I for one am pretty excited about the results. Have fun in Canada! ;-)
n3verm0re on 11/03/2004:
I've commented in the previous entry, but I'll post the refrain here. Game over. The next four years terrify me, but not nearly as much as the next forty. Religion is going to snow-ball us back into the 1800's.
Jason on 11/03/2004:
It was a very close race, I too was disappointed with the results for many of the same reasons you are.
when I ask a bush supporter why they voted for bush. I get allot of statements like, "he is a straight shooter" or "Kerry goes tanning." When I ask them about the war in Iraq. they reply with some whacky story about the Russians taking 1 billion tons of uranium through underground tunnels and hiding it in Antarctica.
Obviously these people are not very open minded people. Very firm and set in their ways. You cannot really argue with this type of thinker. They voted for bush last election, they agreed at the time that we should invade Iraq. And they are not about to back off now. They are not going to "flip flop" on their man. though I believe loyalty is a great quality, there needs to be a point where people have had enough. Obviously we have not reached that point yet.
Though disappointed with the results I believe that the election had a very positive outcome towards the issues that you mentioned.
During the election and the debates Kerry went very hard on Bush on the issues of the war and of the economy. He was saying things on live TV that before could only be heard on NPR. Bush and the republican party became very exposed. And allot of people listened. From where Kerry stood 20%-30% behind in the polls he rose to almost a dead heat with Bush.
When it was all said and done, Bush yes was the victor. But not by much. In almost every stated that bush won, he won by only a margin of 1-3%. And Bush lost in the economic epicenters of our country. Though we did not kick bush out of the Whitehouse, we sent a huge message to the white house and to the republican party. They have to see that half the country disagrees with this government. I doubt that the republican party will endorse a national health care plan. But I can assure you the government will consider the popular vote when they look at spending, war, the economy, the environment and most of all who Bush appoints to office.
nat on 11/03/2004:
i am shocked. i cannot comprehend how anyone who has been even remotely paying attention for the past five years could support bush. the man should never have made it out of the 2000 republican primary. the thought of what a second term where he has nothing to lose and is answerable to no one, with a republican congress giving in to his every whim, could mean to the future of this country terrifies me. today, i am ashamed and embarrassed to be an american.
Merovingian on 11/03/2004:
OMFG !!!! I can't comprehend the fact that Bush got all of Florida !!! How the hell did he !!
Most likely his little brother helped out with that. I agree with Garrett it is a sad sad day in America.
Jeff on 11/03/2004:
Come on up to Canada my friend. I'm currently living in the province of Alberta, we've got amazing healthcare and social programs, not to mention that we have a huge surplus that can only mean better things for us as well as the rest of Canada. Not to mention the fact that the Canadian dollar is slowly, but surely rising, and you don't have to put up with the same political bullshit that you do in the US.
ant on 11/03/2004:
I too am sickened about the religious aspect to politics these days. I am not a religous person, but I can't understand how people who are overwhelmingly chose Bush as if Kerry was a devil-worshipper. Both seem like deeply religious men so I don't understand the division.
And while I'm ranting about religion and the "right" - why is it that the more religious a person is, the less tolerant they are of others (foreigners, gays, blacks, whatever)? I'll admit, this is a stereotype, but more times than not, it is true.
It truly is amazing how Bush supporters never have a real reason for supporting him. The last two people I asked about why they were voting for him said "because Kerry is an asshole" and "because Kerry just says what he thinks people want to hear". I too am embarassed to be a part of this.
Baston on 11/03/2004:
I am surprised and alarmed to see America heading this way... im glad plenty of americans seem to agree... although not enough evidently. I stayed up most of the night (here in england) and couldnt believe it was this close... bush had it in the bag early on. Even in, well possible, defeat... Kerry did the right thing. When i saw Bush, accepting the victory live, in his smug little way i was completely pissed off. I think america has made a terrible choice here... im truly glad i live in england, now, more than ever.
Ghast23 on 11/03/2004:
Wow. What else can be said, other than hold on to your butts? I, too, saw that sickening little grin of deee-light on Bush's face when Kerry decided to accept his defeat. I thought it was a pretty gracious move on Kerry's part, way better than going the way of the 2000 election and letting things drag on for weeks in an agonizing recount.
Let's hope Bush's public humiliation in the debates (and rather narrow win) will serve as a little reminder that some pretty big changes need to happen. I wonder if our country can recover enough from this terribly biased election to come together and work towards a common goal... whatever that is.
Lashlar on 11/03/2004:
The concession by Kerry was one of the highlights of this election year. It was gracious and it was well said. It saves the United States from 2000 redux, with Kerry v Bush instead.
I did not much like Kerry, in fact I quite disliked him. I will admit that. But in defeat he showed what kind of moral fiber he had. Had he shown that more consistently throughout the campaign... But that is enough retrospective imagining.
He lost. Bush won. Let's look to the future.
Elliott Pogue on 11/03/2004:
I think I'm starting to calm down. It's been a sad day for America, yes, but we do have to look into the future. Sadly, unless big changes occur, I see America turning into Middle East #2. I do also believe the European Union will be considered the new superpower of the world.
I really am thinking about fleeing the country though. Spain would be a nice place to go. =)
Lashlar on 11/04/2004:
I'm sorry to burst your bubble, but from a cursory look at Europe from the political, military, demographic and economic perspective the odds of the European Union becoming the next superpower of the world... I wouldn't put any of my money (or anybody's money at all) on it.
There are just too many problems with Europe for it to come close to having the military or economic powerbase to become a superpower again.
The future may see India or China becoming genuine regional powers (economically, demographically, and militarily) with the capacity to challenge the current global superpower (America) on the margins of American military power and actually have a chance of winning. It may even see them beginning the long climb towards potential hegemonic challengers and destablizers of the present global hierarchy, but I'm not willing to bet on that either. There's quite a bit a determined America could do to bottle up or seriously slow the rise of these two nations.

heavy water
heavy water
Water composed of two atoms of deuterium (D; a heavy isotope of hydrogen) and one atom of oxygen (O), chemical formula DO. Water from most natural sources contains about 0.015% deuterium oxide; this can be enriched or purified by distillation, electrolysis, or chemical processing. Heavy water is used as a moderator in nuclear power plants, slowing down the fast neutrons so that they can react with the fuel in the reactor. Heavy water is also used in research as an isotopic tracer for chemical reactions and biochemical pathways. Water with tritium (TO) rather than deuterium may also be called heavy water.

A name card from Apple can be sold for more than US$80,000
It can be a bit awkward if your name is Sam Sung and you are employed at Apple. But not for former Apple store employee Sam Sung who used to work at the company's Pacific Centre store in Vancouver, British Columbia. He said, 'I had a great time working for Apple and would recommend it to anyone. I hope my old business card will go to another fellow Apple enthusiast with a sense of humor and the desire to help raise some money for a good cause'.

Peripheral Artery Disease (PAD) is a common circulatory problem in which narrowed arteries reduce blood flow to your arms and legs (usually the legs). PAD is caused by fatty buildups (plaque) that harden inside arteries and reduce or block blood flow (atherosclerosis), usually to the legs, feet, fingers and toes – often causing numbness or leg pain when walking. These blockages also cause tissue damage, sometimes leading to severe damage and amputation. PAD is also likely to be a sign of a more widespread accumulation of fatty deposits in your arteries, reducing blood flow to your heart and brain, in addition to your legs.
Approximately 10 million people in the United States have PAD. However, nearly 75% of people with PAD do no experience any symptoms, while others have leg pain when walking, known as intermittent claudication. Intermittent cluadication includes muscle pain or cramping in your legs or arms that is prompted by activity and disappears after rest. Other symptoms include: numbness or weakness in your leg, your leg or foot feels cold, open sores on your legs, feet or toes that won't heal, a change in skin color of your legs, loss of hair on your feet and legs, slower growth of your toenails, shiny skin on your legs, a weak pulse or no pulse in your legs or feet, and erectile dysfunction in men.
Anyone at risk for heart disease is also susceptible to PAD, including people over 50 with a history of diabetes, smoking, coronary heart disease, high blood pressure, high cholesterol, family history of PAD and obesity. People with PAD are also at high risk for heart attack and stroke.
Reducing risk factors is the best way to prevent PAD. If you smoke, quitting is the single most important thing you can do to reduce your risk of complications. Other steps you can take are to exercise and eat a healthy diet. For those who have diabetes, careful foot care is especially important, as they are at higher risk of poor healing of sores on the lower legs and feet.
At Metro Heart & Vascular, we take a comprehensive and coordinated team approach to the treatment of PAD. Our team compassionately works with each patient to develop an appropriate treatment plan. These plans have two major goals, manage symptoms and stop the progression of fatty buildups. Treatments often include a combination of lifestyle changes, medications and minimally invasive endovascular procedures. To view some of our patients' stories, click here.
The specialists at Metro Heart & Vascular offer a full array of heart and vascular services. For more information or to schedule an appointment at any one of our six locations in the West Michigan area, call (616) 252-5950.

X-Wing Fighter Lamp Stays on Target
April 24th, 2014
This X-Wing lamp will add just the right kind of light to your man cave or living space. It will keep your personal Rebel base safe and looking awesome.
This amazing lamp was made by Benjamin Rice, a designer from Manchester, UK. Benjamin made this lamp for SPIN London, an urban bicycling show. Why was it at a bicycle show? Well, because he made it from some old Raleigh Grifter children's bikes. There is no doubt that this was the best thing there.
In a darkened room, it looks like it's making the Death Star trench run. Help me Benjamin Rice. You are my only hope. How can I pay you for this lamp and have it in my home?

Euclid Hall's Jorel Pierce on being booted from Top Chef Seattle
What's your greatest disappointment?
Getting cut the first day was really hard. But I felt the same way that Tom did -- that I'm a good chef, but maybe just not good at this whole competitive thing. You can be a great cook, but not a good fit. I've done the same thing that Tom did to me to two dozen others. I get it.
When you were eliminated, you simply thanked Colicchio and walked off with your knives. What did you really want to say?
Thanks for the opportunity -- now go watch chicken butchery videos on YouTube videos and fuck yourself.
What happened once you were kicked off the show?
I went back to my hotel room, drank a couple of whiskeys, and kind of stomped around, verbally abusing myself, but I didn't break anything. At least I can go back to Euclid and cook and be back at home with my wife.
What's the feedback been like since your elimination?
It's been oddly positive. Everyone at Euclid still supports me, and I'm still proud of myself. You can't lose without trying to win. I can say that I tried, and I don't mind being just one of 21 chefs being cast on the show; I feel pretty good about that.
Who from Denver would you nominate to be on a future season of Top Chef?
I'd like to see chef Jen or Max MacKissock. They would both crush it, and as far as young guys go, I think Hunter Pritchett from Luca, or Blake Edmunds from the Squeaky Bean, would both do really well.
Any parting words?
To Denver, family and my crew -- I love you guys, and thanks for being so supportive. I love what I do, and I'll continue to do it. And to Tom Colicchio: We'll see each other again.

Kristoff Robusto 8-Cigar Assortment
Kristoff Robusto 8-Cigar Assortment
Availability: Usually ships in 24 hours
The Kristoff 8-Cigar Sampler Box is a GREAT way to get introduced to the small-batch mentality of cigars. Kristoff blends and produces these sticks small-batch style in the Dominican Republic. These cigars come in a dark wood box with loose tobacco packaged underneath a clear plastic lid. Slap some wrapping paper on this small box and you have a great holiday, birthday, or thank you gift for the favorite cigar smoker in your life.
The Kristoff Robusto 8-Cigar Sampler Box includes 1 each of the following cigars:
Kristoff Maduro Robusto (5.5" x 54) - Like the original Kristoff Criollo, the Kristoff Maduro offers the palate notes of toasted almond, hints of spice and a sweet finish. However, the addition of a rich, oily Brazilian Maduro wrapper adds wonderful undertones of earth and licorice.
Kristoff Sumatra Robusto (5.5" x 54) - The Kristoff Sumatra is a medium bodied cigar with velvety floral notes, spice, cinnamon and a smooth sweet finish. This very traditional Cuban flavor will have feeling like you've been transported back to old world Cuba.
Kristoff Criollo Robusto (5.5" x 54) - Made in the spirit of an elite Cuban cigar, the Kristoff embodies the taste and richness a true aficionado is looking for. The Kristoff has a beautiful pre-embargo feel. With a rich oily wrapper, pigtail and shaggy foot, the Kristoff tastes as good as it looks; it offers notes of toasted almond, hints of spice and a sweet finish. Treat your palate to this incredibly smooth medium bodied cigar.
Kristoff Ligero Maduro Robusto (5.5" x 54) - The new Kristoff Ligero Maduro is three-quarters full in body but very full in flavor. With rich notes of dried cherry, coffee bean, cocoa bean, spice and a sweet finish, the Kristoff Ligero Maduro will have the most discriminating cigar smoker coming back for more.
Kristoff Ligero Criollo Robusto (5.5" x 54) - Looking for a three-quarters full bodied cigar with full flavor, look no further. The Kristoff Ligero Criollo embodies incredible notes of toasted nut, caramel, undertones of cedar, spice and a sweet finish. This cigar leaves a clean, fresh finish on your pallet.
Kristoff Corojo Limitada Robusto (5 1/2 x 54) - One of the latest additions to the Kristoff portfolio, the Kristoff Corojo Limitada sports 85 percent Cuban-seed Nicaraguan tobacco—wrapper, filler, and binder. The filler blend is smoothed out, however, by filling in the other 15 percent with luscious Dominican long-fillers. This stick, born in the Dominican Republic, has become a proud member of Cigar Aficionado's Top 25 Cigars of 2012.
Kristoff GC Signature Robusto - (5 1/2 x 54) - This is a Brazilian Maduro wrapped, Cuban Seed Honduran bound and Cuban Seed Honduran and Dominican tobacco stuffed monster of a stick. This GC Signature Series has a sweet and spicy finish that is loaded with big flavors of espresso, dried apricots and berries while balanced with rich chocolatey flavors from the Brazilian Maduro wrapper.
Kristoff Brittania Reserve Robusto - (5 1/2 x 54) - The Kristoff Brittania Reserva is a great mild to medium-bodied morning cigar. It features a Honduran Connecticut wrapper, a Dominican binder, and the filler is a mix of Dominican and Nicaraguan tobaccos.

For the first time since 1974, the embittered arbitration process gets a break. The arbiter's gavel (?) falls silent in 2013, as no individual arbitration cases head to hearings for the first time in nearly 40 years.
Consider it a perfect storm – more and more players sign extensions will still in their arbitration years and a dearth of high-end talent trying to extract as much payday as they can. Either way, the ugly process — wherein every skeleton is dragged from every imaginable closet — will keep spirits high at camps league-wide this year.
No arbitration cases in 2013. Why? New & better statistical metrics make valuation of player performance easier and narrow bid-offer ranges.
— Bob Tufts (@TuftsB) February 18, 2013
Is this true? It certainly seems plausible that the proliferation of better information keeps all cards on the table. Less grey area allows for more consensus and, as stated above, a narrower range of offers. It might well just be a case of reverse-engineering, like the former Type A/B free agent designations. Everybody knows where they stand, no sense haggling over a few dollars and creating an uncomfortable situation for everyone.
If we are to believe that the golden age of baseball information democratizes the process, that's a good thing, right? Skilled players who lack the RBI bonafides paid consistent with their actual contributions and abilities? It seems too good to be true! Maybe relievers will stop caring about saves as they will no longer be the basis for their remuneration!
If relievers stop caring about saves, maybe managers will stop orchestrating their entire gameplan around them. Maybe it will be a glorious, egalitarian world where the manager simply calls on the best pitcher at the time he is needed most. Sure, it won't actually make an impact on wins or losses but at least we can all look for something else to complain about!

Van Schijndel, T. J. P., Franse, R. K., & Raijmakers, M. E. J. (2010). The Exploratory Behavior Scale: Assessing young visitors' hands-on behavior in science museums. Science Education, 94, 794–809.
The authors of this paper were interested in knowing how parents can support exploratory behaviors of their preschool-aged children at museum exhibits. They developed a quantitative instrument based on psychological literature on exploration and play in order to describe and quantify young children's increasing levels of exploration of their environment. They then tested the measurement tool with parents and their preschool-aged children to investigate what types of adult coaching would achieve high-level exploratory behavior at various exhibits.

This study considers the relationship between preschoolers' early exposure to informal science experiences and their interest in science, with particular attention paid to gender differences. A longitudinal study of children ages 4 to 7 found that early science interest was a strong predictor of later parent-provided opportunities to engage in science learning.

Briseño-Garzón analyzed interviews with 20 families after they visited Universum Museo de las Ciencias. She concluded that the benefits of visiting a science museum are "much more than science," including spending quality time together as a family, interacting with others, learning about local culture and history, learning from each other, and, of course, learning science.
Szechter, L. E., & Carey, E. J. (2009). Gravitating toward science: Parent-child interactions at a gravitational-wave observatory. Science Education, 93(5), 846–858.
This study looks at how characteristics of parent-child dyads, in combination with exhibit qualities, contribute to their interactions in a science center. Parent schooling, parent and child attitudes toward science, and the type of activity supported at the exhibits play a role in how they interact together. For ISE professionals, this study shows that parents exert a great deal of influence over what and how their children feel and learn about science.

Many informal science institutions design exhibits to encourage inquiry and experimentation. But the authors of this paper suggest that often museums have found that visitors lack the expertise or confidence to engage in coherent inquiry. They report here on their efforts to equip visitors with key inquiry skills through providing families and groups with focused trainings on how to use inquiry-based exhibits.

Data from 15 countries suggest that positive parental attitudes toward science are associated with higher student achievement in science. The findings also indicate that socioeconomic status has no effect on the relationship between parental attitudes and student achievement: Poorer students benefit just as much from positive parental attitudes as richer students.

A comparison of survey data from 2000 and 2009 supports findings that the California Science Center in Los Angeles provides opportunities for public engagement in science that may not be supported by other education resources. Survey evidence correlates the community's use of the science center with improvements in science engagement and science literacy.
Fraser, J. (2009). The anticipated utility of zoos for developing moral concern in children. Curator: The Museum Journal, 52(4), 349–361.
Parents committed to bringing their children to zoos ascribed the value of the visits to promoting altruism to prepare their children for future social encounters; transferring their own environmental values; encouraging self-esteem; and inculcating cultural norms. This article suggests that ISE educators can attract/engage parents through appealing to moral development for children.

Five Tips for Boosting Your Energy During the Holidays
The holidays are fun, but they take a lot of work. Shopping, cooking, decorating, entertaining, traveling, listening to your great-uncle's boring stories without yawning…all these suck up energy.
If you feel energetic, holidays are festive. But if you feel exhausted, even things that you'd usually find fun – like baking cookies – seem like chores. If you need a quick boost, try one of these strategies:
1. Exercise—even a quick ten-minute walk will increase your energy and boost your mood. This really works! People sometimes assume that exercise tires them out, but moderate exercise actually makes you more energetic.
2. Listen to lively music. Play some of your favorite Christmas carols or some fast happy music.
3. Act energetic. Research shows that when people move faster, their metabolism speeds up. Also, because the way we act influences the way we feel (to an almost uncanny degree), by acting energetic you'll make yourself feel more energetic.
4. Do NOT use food. It's tempting to reach for a piece of leftover pecan pie when you're feeling listless, but in the end, all those extra calories will just drag you down. In general, be wary of the urge to treat yourself when you're feeling low.
5. Finally, to state the obvious—get your sleep! You're not going to have energy if you're squeaking by on five hours of sleep every night. Turn out the light at a decent hour. It's hard, especially when you're racing to get a lot done, but it really matters. (Here are some tips for getting good sleep.)
Have you found any good strategies for keeping your energy high during the holidays?
The days are long, but the years are short.

Who Knew?
Apparently, Everybody Knows
When the universe (or statistically inevitable coincidence) presents one with a cosmic joke, however hackneyed, obvious, or egregiously jejune, it seems only prudent to pause, listen attentively, and chortle with sufficient enthusiasm to deflect accusations of a merely polite response but stopping short of the over the top exuberance that smacks of insincerity in acknowledgment of the universe's graciousness in sharing that nugget of jocularity.
So, get ready to yuck it up.
Everybody Knows, a Leonard Cohen song1 delivered in his famously deep, raspy voice, the final result, according to Cohen himself, of "about 500 tons of whiskey and millions of cigarettes," has been chosen as the music for a major anti-smoking ad.
According to The Sydney Morning Herald, New South Wales (NSW) residents tuning in to Sunday's Beijing Olympics broadcast …
will be confronted with a new graphic anti-tobacco advertisement during the Beijing Olympics coverage on Sunday night to drive home a message "everybody knows" but some still ignore. The $1 million campaign is a montage of past Quit campaigns, set to the Leonard Cohen song, Everybody Knows.
The casting is also notable because Leonard Cohen's music is rarely used in commercials or public service announcements. I do not have access to an exhaustive list, but I would be surprised if, in Cohen's 40 year career, the number of different ads using his work goes into double figures.2
About That Anti-smoking Campaign
As this excerpt from the same article indicates, the NSW anti-smoking campaign is not one of those wishy-washy, emphasize the sunny side of life sort of programs. Nope, it's more along the lines of, say, Scared Straight, it's more big stick than carrot, it's less about Santa bringing gifts for good little boys and girls than about the boogyman whisking away naughty children to obliquely defined but unmistakably horrid torments.
NSW Assistant Health Minister (Cancer) Verity Firth said it was a deliberate choice to air the ad during the Olympics. "We know that TV viewership goes up 40 per cent during the Olympic period. … Ms Firth is confident the ad will have a strong impact on audiences. "It's very, very powerful, I think it's the build-up of all those different images … that song is just so haunting that I think it will get an emotional response." "It is a hard-hitting TV commercial, we make no apologies about that because we also know that graphic television advertising really does work the best," … NSW's smoking rate had dropped from 24 per cent to 18 per cent in the past decade.
An example of this style can be seen in the video below, which is produced by the same Australian Quit Program that will sponsor the stop-smoking ad broadcast tonight. It is by no means the most aggressive anti-smoking ad in this series (it is more somber than shocking, at least comparatively), but it may not be how more sensitive viewers want to start their Sunday.
Leonard Cohen – I'm Your (Marlboro) Man
Congruently, Leonard Cohen's smoking was more than an incidental phenomenon. Consider these excerpts from interviews and articles.
In 1973, Alastair Pirrie described in Cohen Regrets3 Cohen's behavior,
During my last conversation with him, Cohen had changed. He smoked my cigarettes almost continuously and appeared much more withdrawn, answering questions vaguely and lapsing into silences much more frequently.
Similarly, in I never discuss my mistresses or my tailors, Nick Paton Walsh describes Cohen's behavior during the 2001 interview in relation to his stay at a Zen monastery.
He has another sip of coffee, lights another Marlboro Light, and wriggles his toes inside his pair of comfortable brown slippers. Despite the gruelling years, Cohen is immensely relaxed, a light grin stretching across his tanned face. His arms are thin, his frame fragile, but he radiates Californian healthiness, like no 67-year-old should. He seems content, both with his new record, Ten New Songs, and – judging by the slippers and the silk tie clipped delicately behind his tailored pinstripe suit – his daily luxuries. What attraction could such a sparse lifestyle have to a man who accompanies most new sentences with a freshly lit cigarette?
A July 20, 2008 Sunday Times Profile, describes the tobacco enhanced voice:
Discarding his mantles of "poet laureate of pessimism" and "godfather of gloom", Cohen wore a fedora and grey suit as he ran nimbly on to the stage to rekindle fervour for the love songs of his youth and the witty, sardonic style of later years. His rasping voice, honed by Marlboro cigarettes, and his evident delight in his adoring audience reinforced a recent triumph at the Glastonbury festival.
The Leonard Cohen No-Step Stop Smoking Program
Cigarettes, once an obligatory accoutrement for Cohen, have apparently been vanquished. In a June 12, 2008 interview, Cohen discusses his drinking and smoking patterns on earlier tours and how he stopped smoking:
Q: You've been working in a room for years; now you're on a stage. What are the pros and cons?
A: This way, without drinking and smoking, it's a very, very different situation. Anyone who's been a heavy drinker and heavy smoker and has the good future to survive that and give it up knows what a very different kind of daily existence one has. I was smoking a couple of packs of cigarettes a day. And I was drinking heavily on these tours.
Q: How did you stop drinking? Did you go into a program?
A: I lost my taste for it. Just like cigarettes. I lost my taste.
"I lost my taste for it." Dramatic, eh?4
Losing his taste for excessive alcohol and tobacco does not, however, appear to have turned Leonard Cohen into an evangelist for the eradication of these societal demons. The following is an excerpt from "The Cigarette Issue" in The Book of Longing, published in 2006:
But what is exactly the same
is the promise, the beauty
and the salvation
of cigarettes
the little Parthenon
of an unopened pack of cigarettes
and Mumbai, like the Athens
of forty years ago
is a city to smoke in
And from the same volume of poetry comes the poem, "What Did It:"
An acquaintance told me
that the great sage
Nisargadatta Maharaj
Once offered him a cigarette,
"Thank you, sir, but I don't smoke."
"Don't smoke?" said the master,
"What's life for?"
Dance Me Go The End Of This Post
And In Conclusion
Depending on ones perspective on hermeneutics, the life, characteristics, and vision of the artist who has created a work may or may not have significance. Most of us, I suspect, operate as semi-deconstructionalists, albeit out of convenience more than conviction, so the implications of the music for a vehemently anti-smoking ad being provided by an artist known for his smoking through most of his career are trivial, a how-about-that sort of item.
Of course, if this anti-smoking gig is successful, it would open the door for other reverse-field jobs in advertising – I'm thinking
Leonard Cohen: spokesman for the wedding industry
- Authorship of Everybody Knows, first released in 1988 on Cohen's I'm Your Man album, is co-credited to Leonard Cohen and Sharon Robinson [↩]
- At the moment, I recall the recent Old Navy ad featuring Blue Alert and a British Heart Foundation ad using Waiting For The Miracle in the 1990s. I have read about Suzanne being used to sell bikes somewhere in Europe. I am less sure but think I have also, read about a Cohen song being used to peddle shoes and a cover being used in supermarket ads in England or Europe. In any case, a Leonard Cohen song in a broadcast ad is an unusual event. [↩]
- New Musical Express, March 10, 1973 [↩]
- OK, "Waiting For The Miracle – Leonard Cohen's Battle With The Demons Of Alcohol and Tobacco" isn't likely to become a best-selling inspirational autobiography – or a Lifetime movie of the week – or a quickie on E!, but based on my experiences working with those trying to stop drinking or smoking, I believe the seldom articulated addiction treatment methodology of "lose your taste for it" would prove attractive to many clients. Leonard, how does the "Cohen Clinic Program To Stop Smoking – Eventually" sound? Have your people call my people. I smell franchise opportunity. [↩]

Benicio Del Toro was once set to enter space as the principle villain in STAR TREK INTO DARKNESS, but pulled out before production began. However, it would seem as though space is still calling the esteemed actor, as he has now been cast in James Gunn's Marvel science-fiction adventure, GUARDIANS OF THE GALAXY. Benicio Del Toro joins Guardians Of The Galaxy straight after the news of Karen Gillan's casting as the lead female villain. Although the character which Del Toro will play is being kept a secret, it is being reported that he will be optioned for multiple Marvel movies. After Thanos appeared at the end of THE AVENGERS, it has been hotly discussed as to his role in future motion pictures, and although Thanos is closely linked to many of the GUARDIANS OF THE GALAXY, it is generally accepted that he will go up against Earth's Mightiest Heroes in THE AVENGERS 2.
Del Toro certainly has the command and presence to excel as a huge recurring villain, and he can certainly use that voice for a powerful effect. Personally, I think he was born to take on a villainous comicbook role, and although great, the role of Jackie Boy in SIN CITY just wasn't enough.
GUARDIANS OF THE GALAXY is released 1st August 2014. It is directed by James Gunn and stars Chris Pratt, Zoe Saldana, Michael Rooker, Lee Pace, Ophelia Lovibond, Glenn Close, John C. Reilly, Karen Gillan, Benicio Del Toro and Dave Bautista.

Comments, questions and tips
Before yesterday I was a 24 year old Yorkshire woman (born on Yorkshire Day, to boot) and had never made Yorkshire puddings!
Didn't need to make 24, so made with 46g flour, 2 eggs and about 70ml of milk. Twenty minutes on the bottom shelf and they turned out absolutely perfect! And I still managed to make 12!
Hey, there. I'm an American cook, and had to convert measurements and oven temperatures, but had to say that this is an awesome recipe for Yorkshire puddings. I love eating them, but didn't know that they were this easy to make. My best friend's parents are from North Cumberland (Umbria?), and his mom makes really good ones, but I don't want to drive and hour and a half each way to get some. In any case, even with guesstimating, these turned out great. Also, the tips were very helpful.
Foods which gives you immense satisfaction must read
Made these for the first time a couple of weeks ago and they are amazing! Found the quantities to be just right. Make sure you definitely don't open the oven door though as I did and they shrank a bit. Have always used frozen in the past but converted to these lovely ones now and making again today with roast chicken - yum!!!
Just tried these for the first time. As I don't have a muffin pan and I was only cooking for myself today, I made a quarter of the mixture. This made 8 small yorkies in my fairy cake pan. It really makes a difference whether the oil is hot or not - I put oil in just 6 wells before preheating, but then realised I had enough batter for 2 more so added it to the pan without preheating the oil - and those 2 stuck a bit! As they were little they took just 15 mins at 220. I used 1/4 tsp oil in each well and that seemed just right. Have polished off the hot ones with my beef, and looking forward to munching on the others cold later :-)

Valparaiso Crusaders (22-11)
@Miami Hurricanes (19-12)
Wednesday, March 14
BankUnited Center
Attendance: 1,229
Coral Gables, FL (Sports Network) - Rion Brown scored 18 points as Miami defeated Valparaiso, 66-50, in the first round of the National Invitation Tournament at BankUnited Center.
Also scoring in double figures for the second-seeded Hurricanes (20-12) were Shane Larkin and Trey McKinney Jones with 12 and 10 points, respectively, while Reggie Johnson came up a point shy of a double-double as he cleared a game-high 11 rebounds.
The seventh-seeded Crusaders (22-12) were paced by Ryan Broekhoff who tallied 18 points and cleared seven rebounds, while Richie Edwards tacked on 16 points off the bench for the visitors. Kevin Van Wijk contributed with 10 rebounds in the setback.
Valpo led by a basket within the first minute of action, but the team finished the period with just nine total field goals in the period, resulting in a 24-23 deficit at the break for the Crusaders.
In the second half Miami blew the game open with 54.8 percent accuracy from the floor and 6-of-11 behind the three-point line in picking up the 16-point triumph.
Valparaiso was held to just 35.8 percent shooting from the floor overall and 5-of-27 out on the perimeter.
Miami is now onto the second round of the tournament where it will clash with sixth-seeded Minnesota which scored a minor upset over La Salle (70-61) in Philadelphia on Wednesday night.

An eye exam could help diagnose Alzheimer's earlier, new research shows.
A team of scientists from Georgetown University Medical Center and the University of Hong Kong found genetically engineered mice with Alzheimer's developed thinning of the eye retina.
Degeneration of the retina may reveal degeneration of the brain linked to the disease. The retina is made from the same tissue that makes up the brain.
"The retina is an extension of the brain so it makes sense to see if the same pathologic processes found in an Alzheimer's brain are also found in the eye," Dr. R. Scott Turner, director of the Memory Disorders Program at GUMC, said.
Researchers are optimistic about the findings. They believe with the right tools, eye doctors could detect Alzheimer's on patients who are not showing signs yet.
