"If you don't like what is being said, then change the conversation."
–Don Draper
UK designer Megan Leung does't like what is being said to women, so she is changing the conversation with her new label Meg at Midnight. Inspired by a friend who felt it was "embarrassing wearing a training bra and frustrating wearing an adult bra," Ms. Leung saw a niche that was not properly being filled. Where other brands pack on the padding to disguise an inadequacy, Meg at Midnight celebrates the small with sexy, sheer, and pad-free pieces specifically designed to accentuate the slight figure.

great magnets
I loved being able to change my colors and personalize almost every aspect of the magnet. They really are great! The only thing I would have changed is making the print of ours names at the bottom bigger because there is a lot of extra space along the bottom of the magnet.
Awesome Save-the-Date Magnets!
My fiancee and I love our save-the-date magnets!! The customizing tool was fairly easy to use and LOVE the designs to choose from! We cannot wait for our family & friends to receive them!

Club competitions
National team competitions
Hi everybody!! Here I am writing for the very first time since our elimination from the EuroLeague Women 2009-10 tournament.
It's been another great experience for me once again playing at the very highest level of European club competition.
Ros Casares will make their first trip to the EuroLeague Women Final Four since 2007 after a 63-57 victory over rival Halcon Avenida.
After trailing for most of the game, Avenida tied the game at 57 on a Anke De Mondt jump shot with 2:52 remaining. They would be the last two points Salamanca would score.
Wisla Can-Pack Krakow had only about a four-hour bus ride on Thursday from Krakow, Poland, to Brno in the Czech Republic.
Frisco Sika Brno will do their best to make sure the journey to the EuroLeague Women Final Four is much longer.

New York Gov. Andrew Cuomo has pushed ahead to make his state the leader in the new push to tighten gun laws. The governor's thinking offers a glimpse at what other states and the federal government might do, and helps to refine the outlook for the nation's $32 billion gun industry.
Cuomo and a strikingly bipartisan group of state legislators say they're close to a bill that would ban assault weapons and large magazines and establish new measures to avoid firearms falling into the hands of the mentally ill.
The governor's exact language is particularly important. He has branded semi-automatic rifles, the type of weapon used in the Newtown, Conn., massacre, as assault weapons. This will surely displease Second Amendment advocates, as well as the gun industry: Gun companies like to label semi-automatics as modern sporting rifles, an attempt to distance their guns from the very connotations that Cuomo is placing on them.
A modern sporting rifle sounds like something you meet use to hunt. An assault weapon sounds wicked. This is not lost on Cuomo.
"No one hunts with an assault rifle. No one needs ten bullets to kill a deer," he said in his State of the Union.
Cuomo and legislators would like New York's law to mirror California's, making those two states the toughest on guns in the nation. New York lawmakers would limit detachable magazines to seven rounds from today's 10 rounds, and make background checks necessary for ammunition as well as guns.
The White House intends to lead its own efforts to broaden restrictions on firearms. It's unclear whether the administration would opt for something as tough as Cuomo's proposals. "The president and I are determined to take action," said Vice President Joe Biden, who is leading the White House's anti-violence task force. "This is not an exercise in photo opportunities."
These early signals of a harsh reality for semi-automatic rifles hits the Freedom Group hardest. Freedom Group, a roll-up of several gunmakers—including Bushmaster, the company that made the rifle used in Newtown— owned by Cerberus Capital, is the nation's largest manufacturer of rifles. Before now, Freedom Group was counting heavily on the rising interest in semi-automatic rifles: After sales rose by 23.4% in the third quarter, Freedom Group noted: "These increases were primarily the result of strong market demand for modern sporting products, as well as volumes associated with our handgun introductions and our new shotgun offerings." Meanwhile, Freedom Group noted a decrease in sales of traditional rifles.
Semi-automatic rifles are sold not only in small-town gun shops, but at major retailers. Indeed, the world's largest retailer is America's largest gun-seller: Wal-Mart lists 10 different modern sporting rifles on its website. Other major retailers include Dick's Sporting Goods and Cabela's. The impact of any new legislation would injure the sporting goods stores more than Wal-Mart; simply the size of Wal-Mart's business ensures it could absorb the hit.
As for America's other two big gunmakers, Smith and Wesson and Sturm, Ruger Sturm, Ruger, they have been propelled more by the increased demand for small pistols that fit concealed carry laws than by semi-automatic rifles. "I would characterize that most of the growth in new products for us has been in handguns, but that's what we've been introducing. You know that's where all the new products have been coming from," Ruger CEO Mike Fifer said on a conference call with analysts.

Dwight Richard Odle, who has been involved with South Coast Repertory's "A Christmas Carol" since Day One, remembers that the venerable holiday play, now in its 33rd season, started for the most mundane reason: a hole in the calendar.
"We were closing a show sometime before Thanksgiving," said Odle, a veteran scenic and costume designer with a five-decade résumé. "We looked at the schedule and suddenly realized that the theater was going to be dark for more than a month. It really hadn't hit us before then."
SCR founder-directors Martin Benson and David Emmes turned to their colleague Jerry Patch and asked him if he could produce an adaptation of Charles Dickens' famous story of Yuletide redemption at lightning speed. The two wanted a traditional version that they could own and control.
"He did it in a couple of weeks," Odle recalled. "We then had about two weeks to put the show together. It was a real crash course."
Odle was assigned the tricky task of creating more than 150 costumes for men and women, adults and children that covered several different historical periods. Working fast under severe time and budget constraints, he pulled it off. Odle's costumes were singled out as one of the high points of the original production.
"Even though we had limited time, we wanted to build them to last," Odle said. "But we had to do things that I would call shortcuts. I remember that the gowns for Fred's party scene were essentially the same brocade material in a range of colors."
Emmes gave Odle a suggestion that has stayed with him through the years. "David at one point early in the process called the production 'operatic.' I think what he was wanting was detail and texture and a feeling of richness and depth. He wanted history to come alive."
Since the play's 1980 debut, Odle and his team have spent countless hours repairing, altering and replacing costumes as time took its course and directorial concepts for some scenes changed.
"About seven or eight years ago, we got a nice chunk of money and we replaced all of the party dresses with silk taffeta. The natural fibers light better, last longer and simply look better on stage. Each dress has about 10 yards of fabric."
Odle, an Orange County native, was steered toward his calling in high school by a helpful teacher.
"I was an art major at Fullerton High School, but I loved theater as well. A drama teacher took me under his wing. I said, 'I love art and theater equally.' He said, 'Why don't you put them together?' I'd never thought of that."
The teacher gave Odle his first assignment. "It was a Hispanic play called 'The Red Velvet Goat,' a little one-act. I did a fairly simple set. It got a commendation at a student festival held at the Pasadena Playhouse."
Odle went on to Fullerton College and USC before finishing his undergraduate degree at San Francisco State University. There he met some of the talented theater people who would go on to form the original company of South Coast Repertory in 1964.
After finishing his graduate degree in design at Yale University, where he studied both set and costume design, Odle returned to Southern California and made good on his SCR connections. He has also worked extensively at the Laguna Playhouse, Fullerton Civic Light Opera and many other theaters in Orange and Los Angeles counties.

Springbok coach Heyneke Meyer has confirmed Pat Lambie will be considered as a 10 option for the Boks' end of year tour.
Meyer told Keo.co.za he had been impressed with Lambie's performances for the Sharks in recent weeks and that the player gives him options at flyhalf and fullback.
Meyer initially saw Lambie more as a specialist fullback, but said that the player had worked hard at certain aspects of his game when with the Bok set-up and that he had translated that into performance in the Currie Cup.
'I told Pat to work on his tactical kicking. He has really improved in that area and we will look at him as a 10 as well,' said Meyer, who also confirmed he will assess the form of European-based South Africans playing in the Heineken and European Shield competitions.
'We showed during the Rugby Championship that if we believe an overseas-based SA player would add value to the strength and depth of the national squad we would include him,' said Meyer, in reference to the selections of Ruan Pienaar and Francois Louw, both of whom completed the competition as starting options.
'The tour will provide a last opportunity in the year to assess form and value of players, with short and long term goals in mind. In 2013 I'd like to have the core of the squad settled as we work towards being successful in every Test and fine tune a squad capable of success at the World Cup in 2015.'
Meyer said injury to Andries Bekker was unfortunate and an emphasis would be on the depth at No 5 lock. He singled out the form of Eben Etzebeth and Flip van der Merwe and added that he would turn to an overseas-based SA option only if he believed there was not a player(s) of similar quality in South Africa in said positions.
'If two players are of similar pedigree I will always first go with the guy in South Africa. The guy playing overseas has to be decidedly better to what is available at the time of selection.'
Meyer is meeting with the selectors of Thursday and confirmed much of the week has been spent working through footage of Heineken Cup games involving potential tour candidates.
'The core of the Rugby Championship squad will travel if fit, but we are not going to look past a player who is overseas if his form is outstanding and we believe he would be an asset to the national squad.'
Veteran Springbok and former Bulls lock Bakkies Botha has been in good form for Toulon and he could be one of a select few South Africans abroad to make the squad.
Schalk Brits has been a standout performer for Saracens but his is not a name Meyer bandies about and injuries to South African-based props could see the Bok coach look north for tour replacements.
Louw (Bath) and Pienaar (Ulster) will make the squad again.

Columnist got it wrong; Iranian students wanted the Shah to return for 'execution'
Please allow me to correct a historical item cited by Rina Jimenez-David in her column on the movie "Argo" (Inquirer, 10/6/12). David wrote: "In 1979, Iranian students and militants had been gathering daily in front of the American embassy in Tehran to demand the return of the Shah of Iran, who had been ousted in a popular revolution and had been allowed into the United States for cancer treatment."
As written, the sentence gave the impression that the students wanted the Shah to return to resume his rule over Iran. In truth, the Iranian students were demanding that the United States return the Shah for "trial and execution" (Wikipedia).
It may be recalled that in 1951, Iran's Prime Minister Mossadeq led successfully a move by the Iranian parliament to nationalize the oil and gas industry of Iran, then controlled by the Anglo-Iranian Oil Company, now known as British Petroleum. This was resented by the British and the American governments, and so they conspired to oust Mossadeq as prime minister by paying thugs to riot as a prelude to a military coup that ousted the democratically elected government of Mossadeq in 1953. Mossadeq was arrested and convicted of treason. Documents showed that the planning for the coup was done at the American embassy in Tehran.
As a result of the coup, "The Shah made himself an absolute monarch… US support and funding continued after the coup, with the CIA training the government's secret police, SAVAK. In subsequent decades this foreign intervention, along with other economic, cultural and political issues, united opposition against the Shah and led to his overthrow" in February 1979 (Wikipedia).
In November 1979, following rumors that the American government was again planning to restore the Shah to his throne in Iran, militant students seized the US embassy and took hostage the US marines guarding it. But six US diplomats managed to escape with the aid of the Canadian embassy, and this was the theme of the movie, "Argo."
In shaping the destiny of our country, Filipinos should view history clearly and objectively. By knowing the real history of Iran, Filipinos will understand why the United States continues up to this day to regard it with hostility. Iran has the fourth largest oil reserves and the second largest natural gas reserve in the world. Under the Shah, the exploitation and trade of these energy resources were monopolized by US and British multinational corporations.
Mossadeq nationalized these resources, motivating the US and Britain to oust him through a military coup. A popular revolution in 1979 finally deposed the Shah, establishing an Islamic republic that consolidated the nationalization of its oil and gas resources, and preventing their further exploitation by foreign multinational corporations. This enabled the Iranian people to get the full benefits from their energy resources.

Majority loses in Senate gun vote
President Obama calls the minority decision "a pretty shameful day for Washington."
Jacquelyn Martin / Associated Press
Mark Barden, (left) who lost his son Daniel in Newtown, introduces President Barack Obama during a news conference in the Rose Garden of the White House on Wednesday about the defeat of a Senate bill to expand background checks on guns. They are joined by former Rep. Gabby Giffords (second from left) Vice President Joe Biden and Newtown family members.
By the time the vote took place, the outcome was expected. But the result was stunning nonetheless, as was made clear by the angry reaction of President Barack Obama, who had invested so much capital on getting gun legislation passed after the shootings in Newtown, Conn., only to see those efforts crushed on the legislation's first real test.
Obama's description -- "a pretty shameful day for Washington" -- captured the moment and summed up the frustrations that many ordinary Americans long have expressed about the capital, which is that the system appears tilted in favor of blocking action on important, if controversial, issues rather than enacting legislation to deal with them.
The proposal to expand background checks to sales at gun shows and online was co-sponsored by Sens. Joe Manchin, D-W.Va., and Patrick Toomey, R-Pa., two pro-gun rights lawmakers. It had the support of more than a majority of senators -- 54 ayes to 46 nays -- and it had the firm backing of the White House.
More significant, perhaps, in a polarized country is that the idea of expanded background checks received overwhelming support across the political spectrum. Nine in 10 Democrats, more than eight in 10 Republicans and independents, and almost nine in 10 Americans who live in households with guns backed the proposal, according to the latest Washington Post-ABC News poll. Nearly all of them said they "strongly" favored the plan.
In the ways of Washington, that still wasn't enough.
"If you ever wanted a textbook example of intensity trumping preference, this is it," said Ross Baker, a political science professor at Rutgers University. "You could have 100 percent of those polled saying they wanted universal background checks and it would still be defeated. You can't translate poll results into public policy."
Before the vote, the White House website displayed the message: "Now is the time to do something about gun violence. Let's make our call so loud it's impossible to ignore." But those voices could not overcome the power of the National Rifle Association, the rest of the gun lobby or the procedural obstacles that are common in the Senate.
The NRA mounted a campaign to block the Manchin-Toomey compromise, and other more stringent measures pushed by the president and Vice President Joe Biden, such as a ban on military-style assault rifles and limits on high-capacity ammunition magazines.
The demise of the Manchin-Toomey proposal -- the most significant restriction on gun purchases that had any chance of passing -- represented a resounding defeat for the president, who had seized on the issue after the massacre in Newtown in December.
It was a defeat as well for the victims' relatives, men and women who have walked the halls of Congress and spoken out passionately for action. It was a defeat for former congresswoman Gabrielle Giffords, D-Ariz., who was nearly killed in a shooting in 2011 and who joined in the lobbying effort. They were at the White House with Obama and Biden after the vote, a tableau of hopes crushed.
Wednesday's vote was also another setback for efforts to find bipartisan accord on difficult issues that have resisted resolution. "The Manchin-Toomey compromise has gone the way of the bipartisan budget commission, the Gang of 6's deficit reduction plan and the budget Supercommittee," said Sean Theriault, an associate professor of political science at the University of Texas at Austin.
Theriault, the author of the recent book "The Gingrich Senators: The Roots of Partisan Warfare in Congress," added: "While it provided glimmers of hope that a bipartisan compromise could be forged in the Senate, in the end, it serves as a reinforcement for how dysfunctional Congress has become."
Few lawmakers were fully happy with the proposal that Manchin and Toomey put together. Liberals thought it didn't go far enough. They embraced it, but there were enough grumbles about it that Sen. Charles Schumer, D-N.Y., who has been a leader in the effort to enact new legislation, begged them not to let the perfect be the enemy of the good. In the end, only four Democrats -- all from red states -- opposed it. Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid, D-Nev., voted no for purely procedural reasons.
What sank the amendment, however, was the near-unanimous opposition of Republicans, who argued that the proposed restrictions would infringe on Second Amendment rights. Only four Republicans, including Sen. John McCain of Arizona, backed the proposal.
There seemed no better opportunity in recent years for Congress to pass new gun control measures, given the public outcry after the Newtown shootings, which killed 20 children and six adults. Obama moved quickly, knowing that with each passing day the prospects for congressional action would diminish. He spoke out frequently and tried to rally not just public opinion but public pressure.
Reid, a longtime supporter of the NRA, brought a bill to the floor shorn of the assault weapons ban and limits on high-capacity magazines, believing that would offer the best opportunity for passage of background checks. Manchin and Toomey worked for weeks to develop a compromise that would diminish the opposition from the NRA and draw more Republicans to its side.
"In many ways, everything was in place," Baker noted. "Public opinion. Two centrist senators. A full court press by the president. Astute parliamentary measures by Sen. Reid." Still, it did not happen.
The Post-ABC News poll found that 60 percent of people in gun-owning households said they could support a politician with whom they disagreed on gun control if they agreed with that person on other issues. That was almost the identical percentage as people who live in households without a firearm.
But members of Congress are mindful of who votes and who doesn't on hot-button issues and they have seen the NRA's power in past elections. That and the 60-vote threshold were enough to frustrate the desires of the majority for action.

We interrupt your regularly scheduled 2012 election-season rage tweets with a special report: the 22nd installment of Picked to Click is here!
This is my first year behind Picked to Click, and I'll already say I'd much rather steer this band wagon (get it?) than a PedalPub. Regardless of how you'd rate this current crop of bands, we are certainly in a golden age for voter participation. With the input of 146 Twin Cities club employees, label owners, writers, and scene citizens, we have a weighted cheat sheet for hundreds of performers — and the 10 freshest of the bunch — vigorously keeping this music scene kicking.
Since I just moved back to Minnesota earlier this year, I've noticed Twin Citians often forget how good we have it. So many major metropolitan centers are nowhere close to being as hair-trigger opinionated as we are about our local scene. It's impressive that something as outwardly benign as a yearly survey of the region's new and underappreciated acts can be so reviled by some, but we've always been a little different here. Coming to it with fresh eyes, I take Picked to Click as a bit of nerdy, statistical fun, not an outright industry forecast.
This year, the votes clustered the top four artists within a 12-point range, which made for an exciting bit of spreadsheet-gazing as the ballots poured in. Voters who numbered their picks gave their first-place act five points, the second-placers got four, and so forth. The non-ordered ballots gave each nominated act three points. The ballots that nominated Y.N. Rich Kids in all five slots, or said "Reed, let's get a beer" earned points in my heart, but didn't change the ultimate outcome. —Reed Fischer

Christina M. Hammock, 34, holds undergraduate and graduate degrees from North Carolina State University, according to her bio on the NASA website. She currently is serving as National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA) Station Chief in American Samoa.
Eight candidates have been selected to be NASA's newest astronaut trainees, according to information from NASA. They were chosen from more than 6,100 applications.
The group will receive a wide array of technical training at space centers around the globe to prepare for missions to low-Earth orbit, an asteroid and Mars.
"These new space explorers asked to join NASA because they know we're doing big, bold things here -- developing missions to go farther into space than ever before," said NASA Administrator Charles Bolden. "They're excited about the science we're doing on the International Space Station and our plan to launch from U.S. soil to there on spacecraft built by American companies. And they're ready to help lead the first human mission to an asteroid and then on to Mars."
Other astronaut candidates are:
Josh A. Cassada, Ph. D., 39, is originally from White Bear Lake, Minn. Cassada is a former naval aviator who holds an undergraduate degree from Albion College, and advanced degrees from the University of Rochester, N.Y. Cassada is a physicist by training and currently is serving as co-founder and Chief Technology Officer for Quantum Opus.
Victor J. Glover, 37, Lt. Commander, U.S. Navy, hails from Pomona, Calif., and Prosper, Texas. He is an F/A-18 pilot and graduate of the U.S. Air Force Test Pilot School. Glover holds degrees from California Polytechnic State University, San Luis Obispo, Calif.; Air University and Naval Postgraduate School. He currently is serving as a Navy Legislative Fellow in the U.S. Congress.
Tyler N. Hague (Nick), 37, Lt. Colonel, U.S. Air Force, calls Hoxie, Kan., home. He is a graduate of the U.S. Air Force Academy, Massachusetts Institute of Technology, and the U.S. Air Force Test Pilot School, Edwards, Calif. Hague currently is supporting the Department of Defense as Deputy Chief of the Joint Improvised Explosive Device Defeat Organization.
Nicole Aunapu Mann, 35, Major, U.S. Marine Corps, originally is from Penngrove, Calif. She is a graduate of the U.S. Naval Academy, Stanford (Calif.) University and the U.S. Naval Test Pilot School, Patuxent River, Md. Mann is an F/A 18 pilot, currently serving as an Integrated Product Team Lead at the U.S. Naval Air Station, Patuxent River.
Anne C. McClain, 34, Major, U.S. Army, lists her hometown as Spokane, Wash. She is a graduate of the U.S. Military Academy at West Point, N.Y.; the University of Bath and the University of Bristol, both in the United Kingdom. McClain is an OH-58 helicopter pilot, and a recent graduate of U.S. Naval Test Pilot School at Naval Air Station, Patuxent River.
Jessica U. Meir, Ph.D., 35 is from Caribou, Maine. She is a graduate of Brown University, has an advanced degree from the International Space University, and earned her doctorate from Scripps Institution of Oceanography. Meir currently is an Assistant Professor of Anesthesia at Harvard Medical School, Massachusetts General Hospital, Boston.
Andrew R. Morgan, M.D., 37, Major, U.S. Army, considers New Castle, Pa., home. Morgan is a graduate of The U.S. Military Academy at West Point, and earned doctorate in medicine from the Uniformed Services University of the Health Sciences, Bethesda, Md. He has experience as an emergency physician and flight surgeon for the Army special operations community, and currently is completing a sports medicine fellowship.
The new astronaut candidates will begin training at NASA's Johnson Space Center in Houston in August.
"This year we have selected 8 highly qualified individuals who have demonstrated impressive strengths academically, operationally, and physically," said Janet Kavandi, director of Flight Crew Operations at Johnson Space Center. "They have diverse backgrounds and skill sets that will contribute greatly to the existing astronaut corps. Based on their incredible experiences to date, I have every confidence that they will apply their combined expertise and talents to achieve great things for NASA and this country in the pursuit of human exploration."

Any BPL folks that suffer from Arthritis? Which kind, Osteo or Reumatoid? What do you do and what do you not do?
My mom has been dealing with pretty severe rheumatoid arthritis since her 20's. She is a badass, and still goes on hikes with me, even though her feet are all gnarled and twisted and covered in crazy nodules. Incidentally, I'm really hoping none of my current foot issue are actually RA. Runs in the family. Her grandma was bed ridden by age 40 (before the arrival of miracle drugs).She takes methyltrexate (sp?) and has been on steroids for years. She tries to stay active, keep moving, that kind of thing. Naproxen for mild pain, though it doesn't help much. Swimming is what really helps her, and also allows her to stay active. She has had a few foot surgeries to remove nodules, but they always come back even bigger. More than anything, she is just tough.
Thanks for the reply Ozzy. Nice to hear about your mom, gives one hope. Your foot issues don't sound like RA to me :)
I have what a 'normal' person would class as minor osteo in my big toe joint in my foot.A 'normal' person wouldn't be upset because it stopped them from running, or caused severe pain on multi-day hikes.
I have osteo arthritis of the knees diagnosed when I was 30 and I was into running,I went to a sports medicine doctor because I was in such pain.I don't run anymore which I really miss,and no lifting extremely heavy weights.I do stairs ,squats and yoga a lot,building leg strength and keeping my wight down is important I also use trekking poles which really help on the pounding down hills.I noticed a big difference also when I started taking Osteo Bi-Flex triple strength a number of years ago.
Osteo, in my wrists and thumb joints. I consider it the price I pay for the games I've played and will continue to play until I can't move anymore. No drugs so far, just get used to the discomfort, pain, whatever, and keep doing what I do, which involves continuing to use my hands as if there were no arthritis. I don't know how long I will be able to get away with this approach, but so far, go good. :0)
Osteo is what I was hoping for....I guess putting up with aches and pain,figuring it was just part of life, isn't a good idea after all. Thanks for the input.
Reumatoid A for me. As I'm not a doctor, the webMD stuff says sensitivity to temp triggers inflamation about 5x more than the avg person. For me, slight sudden cold temperature causes Inflamation which then causes pain for hours. Something simple like getting out of a warm bed 90F to let the dog outside at 65F in less than 2 mins I feel the pain.So option 1: avoid sudden change, not easy to do. Get out of the truck, walk from the parking lot to the store... Pain.Option 2: take on the inflamation, with NSAID like pre emptive ibuprofen and tylenol. Not too crazy about making those pills part of my regular diet, because they will mess up the kidney and liver with prolonged use. Option 3: smelly BenGay cream. Everyone will know your dirty little secret. Option 4: I slowly trained my body to shift weight from my leading dominant knee to now use my beta knee as primary. I am ambidextrous so that is my secret super power. Option 5: take every opportunity to rest, just because it doesnt hurt now, dont exert it too much in the morning, by noon time the pain will accumulate. Option 6: picked up from Trader joes some suspicious Joint Pain vitamins, ingredients crab and shellfish. It doesnt say anything about cholesterol, but I am suspicious. Option 7: make jello. Eat jello. Supposed to help joints. According to the Jello people in the sales and marketing department. Sales people never lie.Option 8: hey I never promised to list 10 options. Ask a doctor. Footnote: my cousin in Canada has severe RA, and the Canadian cold freeze makes it worse, but the healthcare system is free, so he stays there. the irony is that if he came down to sunny and warm Southern California, his RA wouldnt be aggravated, and would not need the Canadian doctors, oh well.Option 9: move to Arizona, Florida where all the old folks go to avoid the cold.Option 10: doctor did this for my mom, a cortizone shot, although they won't give you too many, depends on your age and pain level, because they dont want to build up the steroids and mess with your hormones. Also, the first shot lasted 6 months, second shot lasted 5 months, then 3 months and the pain returns. So obviously the body adapts to the meds, pain returns, and there is a diminishing return and high negative side effects.

I have osteo arthritis in my knees. I can't fully articulate them and the orthopedic surgeon says I am a candidate for knee replacement. I take 600 mg Ibuprophen 3x a day while hiking. I have also used the Osteo Biflex for quite a few years and feel it helps.I really can't backpack without poles anymore. Did 17 mi. in the Big Sur on Wed, 11mi. with a 30 lb pack and 6 with my 10 lb pack. I will keep what I have till they don't work anymore then go for the new ones. "Use it or loose it" and "Keep on truckin'".
I have osteo-arthritis in the hips, shoulders, and knees. It is so painful quite often that I can't sleep on my sides (I am a side sleeper) or lift my arms and legs. I have found, though, that reducing the amounts of carbs I eat helps quite a lot (but has to be kept at for quite sustained period...and I tend to give in to eating carbs quite easily). Also keeping active and slowly doing strength training helps, too.
As most of us have figured out by now, most MDs are pretty much at a loss to diagnose and treat pain. You may see 3 different docs and get 3 different opinions on what is wrong; you can get an X-ray or an MRI and someone will say "you have torn cartilage!" or "you have arthritis!" but the reality is that imaging does not diagnose pain. At all. Rarely.There is a great study that came out several years ago re back pain: 100 people with awful, intractable back pain underwent MRI...30 of them had herniated discs. Then 100 age-matched people who had never had back pain in their lives - ever - had MRI...guess what? 30 of them had herniated discs. I have patients all the time who had meniscal tears (aka cartilage tears) in their knees repaired or cleaned out...and their pain post operatively was the same as before...taking care of the meniscal tear did not end the pain; this has also been documented in the literature.Osteoarthritis researchers are actively looking for a way other than X-ray to stage disease severity because we are finding very little if any correlation between the patients pain and function and X-ray findings. Moral of these stories? Imaging is HORRIBLE as a diagnosis for pain. It may show a structural problem, but that does not AT ALL necessarily mean that is what causes your pain. Why do you think so many back surgeries fail? Because the surgeon fixed the structural deficit...but that was not the cause of the pain.I have been studying the science of pain (neurophysiology) for a number of years and the best advice I give my patients is to be very, very wary of diagnoses. I know you want one, you want a label...I get that. And sometimes you need one because you can then be treated medically (ie rheumatoid arthritis is a very specific condition that requires different kinds of medications - it is an auto immune disease basically). But if your problem is simply pain, I guarantee your md called it "arthritis," maybe gave you a pill or two, told you to exercise or do whatever, and sent you on your way.Telling people they have these structural deficits, in my professional opinion, generally does more harm than good. So much of pain is mental (it is your brain, after all, that decides if a feeling is a good one or a bad one...good pain vs bad pain, etc) and if you think something is "broken" it absolutely will hurt more than if you don't think that. Anyway...my two cents on a terribly difficult, ridiculously complicated topic that unfortunately too many clinicians don't understand.
I've got Cervical Spondylosis http://orthoinfo.aaos.org/topic.cfm?topic=a00369Not uncommon. Mine does have the fun effect on my nerves. Numb hands and sometimes toes. Headaches. Loss of hand strength, etc... And occasionally the wonderful sensation that my left shoulder is dislocated. Some days it is real bad. Some, not so much. Always some discomfort though. Naproxen taken in enough quantity to work makes me sick. I have a home traction device to stretch my neck. That feels awesome. Almost instant results. Sometimes I am more sore the next day though. I just tough it out usually. A good tall single malt or cognac also help bring temporary relief. Stress sets me off.Had to stop using poles as my hands go numb.

A wealth of talented schoolboys, exciting play and interesting upsets over the weekend at the House of Paint Schools' Easter Rugby Festival hosted at Kearsney College bodes well for the future of the game in this country.
After the final match on Saturday, Morne Stassen from Hoerskool EG Jansen, Queen's College winger Leon Makiwane and Chris Cloete from Selborne College were each awarded a R60 000 bursary for the first year of their tertiary education at Varsity College and a contract with the Sharks Academy for 2010. They will be eligible to have their bursaries renewed for the duration of their studies, based on academic and sporting performance.
An exciting brand of schoolboy rugby was displayed at the Festival where 10 top rugby-playing schools from around the country participated.
Hans Scriba, managing director of the Sharks Academy, said due to the high standard of play, the selectors had decided to award three bursaries, and not two as previously offered.
Some superb individual play was evident over the weekend, he said, with the overall standard being superior to that at last year's Festival. This showed great promise for the future of rugby in this country.
Stassen and Makiwane were rewarded for best backline play, while flanker Chris Cloete received his for outstanding loose forward play.
Queen's College running style of rugby ensured it was the only team to win all its matches during the Festival. The well-balanced and skilled Selborne College team won two and drew one match, showing itself to be a good all round side, whilst the third Border team, Dale College, depicted running rugby 'par excellence'.
Contrasting this style of rugby were the Gauteng and Mpumalanga teams' typical hard, strong games. EG Jansen and HTS Middelburg both played a physical game, with Marais Viljoen being the most improved team at the Festival. Similarly Hoerskool Upington, which is not often exposed to this level of competition, embraced the challenge and grew with the Festival.
Gutsy hosts Kearsney College played with heart and passion to win two of their games. DHS, although ravaged by injury, showed grit and determination. The final host province team of KZN Development XV displayed a never-say-die attitude and great enthusiasm.

History of Christian Worship: Part 5
December 05, 2012 Length: 24:04
Fr. Gabriel examines the history of the lectionary.
"I found Orthodoxy and AFR a year ago. They have both had a profound effect on my life. After 30 years as a Mormon, I have found the church Christ left on earth for us. It's very exciting, but at 60 I wish I had not wasted all those years on the wrong road. God willing, I am looking forward to many years as an Orthdox believer!!"

There has never been a shortage of news in West Point and Clay County in the past.
2012, however, proved to distinguish itself as far as newsworthy stories are concerned.
This year was truly a banner year for this community, as we saw the West Point/Clay County Growth Alliance forge a partnership with the Columbus/Lowndes Development LINK in the Spring, which by September had inspired leaders in Clay, Lowndes and Oktibbeha Counties to drive toward an economic partnership that would encompass the entire Golden Triangle region.
The Golden Triangle Regional Development Authority tops this newspaper's list of stories of the year.
The return of our soldiers of the 223rd Engineer Battalion from Afghanistan during the month of September stands at the top of that list as well.
The reunions of families and the new unions between counties are top news stories for 2012, but they are sure to make 2013 a better year for West Point.

We know that paying for college and navigating the financial aid
process can seem overwhelming at times. That's why the financial
aid professionals at the Mount are dedicated to helping you.
We'll walk you through the process of financing your education
in 3 easy steps.
essential to distinguish between a college's published cost of
attendance, or "sticker price," and the net cost of college that
you (or your family) will pay out of pocket. Your net cost of
college is equal to a college's published cost of attendance minus
any grants and scholarships ("free money" aid) that you
Your net cost of college can be significantly less than the
published cost of attendance. You'll find that a Mount Saint
Mary College education is more affordable than you may think.
Mount Saint Mary College's Monthly Payment Plan (MPP)
provides a way to pay your annual educational expenses in ten easy
monthly installments with no interest charges.
You can choose the Mount's MPP to pay down all or any portion of
your overall college costs. This no-interest, monthly payment
plan means that you can reduce debt over time by avoiding or
reducing higher interest loans.
For more information or to enroll in the plan, please click here.
The Federal PLUS Loan is a loan borrowed by a parent on behalf
of a child to help pay for tuition and school related expenses at
an eligible college or university, or by a graduate student for
graduate school. The student must be enrolled at least half time,
and the parent or graduate student must pass a credit check in
order to receive this loan. The primary benefit of using a
Federal PLUS loan is that the interest rate is fixed at
Private eduation loans are loans taken in the students name,
most often with a credit-worthy co-signer and have variable
interest rates and repayment terms. The interest rates and
fees you pay on a private loan are based on your credit score and
the credit score of your co-signer. While it is possible to
be approved without a co-signer, students often find they are
offered a better rate with a co-signer. Private loans tend to
cost more than the PLUS loan, but are less expensive than credit
card debt.
A home equity loan or line of credit should also be
considered as an alternative to private education loans. The
interest rates are competitive with private education loans and the
interest is usually fully deductible. However, these loans should
be compared with other forms of education financing according to
cost, the impact on student aid eligibility, and the flexibility of
the repayment provisions.
The Financial Aid Office at the Mount recommends each family
review all of the above options and select those that best suit
their particular financial situation and needs. The best
recommendation we have found is to to make sure families
understand their net cost, sign up for a monthly payment they can
afford, and then evaluate the pros and cons of the Federal Parent
loan versus a Private Alternative loan to finance the remaining

KANNAPOLIS, N.C. - Turning the tables from their last meeting nearly two weeks ago, Pfeiffer University would score eight unanswered runs to take an 8-2 victory over Lenoir-Rhyne in non-conference baseball action at CMC-Northeast Stadium on Tuesday night. The Falcons move to 11-17 overall while dropping the Bears to 10-20.
Lenoir-Rhyne struck first with a pair of runs in the opening frame as Colton Hansley delivered a two-run double to left-center scoring Dalton Hall and Nate Martin. Hall began the game with a four-pitch walk while Martin picked up a base hit.
Pfeiffer got even with a run in the third and fourth as Jacob Yates singled home Dalton Lindley with an unearned run taking advantage of a Bears throwing error. An inning later in the fourth, Cole McGraw would trot in from third on a balk after initially reaching with a walk.
Yates would come up big in the fifth giving the Falcons a 4-2 lead doubling home Kevin Price and Lindley with a shot to the gap in left-center. Lindley and Price would both reach on a one-out walk before Yates' two-bagger.
Insurance in the eight came as Jon Gray and Aarin Sharpe reached on back-to-back singles both coming around on a Matt Wade single and bases-loaded hit-by-pitch by Kyle Hackney. Later, Price would deliver a two-out, two-run single to right completing the four-run eighth.
Yates and Gray led the Falcons with a pair of hits at the top of the order while Ethan Greene took care of the rest on the mound. Greene tossed eight innings on Tuesday allowing two runs on five hits while fanning nine in the win.
Pfeiffer gets back to action on Friday and Saturday traveling to North Greenville for a three-game Conference Carolinas series in South Carolina.

RICHLANDS — Longtime Richlands soccer coach Mike Roed couldn't have said it better Wednesday night during his team's 5-1 win over Croatan in both team's regular-season finale.
Midfielder Anthony Howard had already recorded a hat trick in the first 11 minutes when Roed turned to his bench and said that each of the sophomore's 3 goals came on just three touches of the ball.
"Anthony was just at the right place at the right time tonight," Roed said. "Every practice we work on crossing the ball from the end line to the back post and he was just on it tonight. I think he touched the ball three times and scored 3 goals."
It was that sort of night for Howard.
He scored the Wildcats' first 3 goals, finding the net just 1:15 into the match for his initial goal. Howard scored about 2 minutes later and added his third goal 7 minutes after that off an assist from Tyler Litchenstein.
"We just moved the ball around, and I was at the right place at the right time," Howard said. "I was just sneaking down the back and getting through them."
Howard's effort helped the Wildcats (10-10-1, 7-5 East Central 2-A Conference) conclude their regular season victorious. Richlands would have been the
However, Swansboro won 2-1, meaning Richlands will be the fourth seed.
"I feel better about this group than the group we've had the last three years that made runs to the third round and fourth round," senior midfielder Trey Smith said. "I think we can get it done."
Roed agreed.
"It's a good time to start rolling," he said.
Meanwhile, Croatan ended its season at 3-16-3 and 2-10.
"We are very inexperienced. We graduated nine players and that showed," Croatan coach Paul Slater said. "I don't think we were a bad team, but our inexperience showed in our inability to win games, score goals or prevent goals."
Each of Howard's 3 goals came in similar fashion.
The Wildcats played the ball along the left side before crossing it to the right side where Howard would be making a run near the right post. He then finished with a one-touch shot.
"He was just making the supportive runs off the ball," said Smith, who assisted on Howard's first 2 goals. "That's what we been stressing in practice and he did it tonight."
Slater agreed.
"He (Howard) did a very good job of coming from the back door and we did a poor job of picking it up," Slater said. "We allowed them to come down the line and he was there. He wanted it more and he put them away. All three of his goals probably were three touches, and each one was inside the 6."
Howard, though, wasn't the only Richlands making runs off the ball. The Wildcats moved well without the ball, resulting in passes to open players.
"We've been working on it," Roed said. "We want to make movement before other guys get the ball and we want to be talking. The guys did a really good job finding their shape."
Smith was a reason for that. He orchestrated the Wildcats' attack. He managed to take defenders on himself to establish separation for his teammates.
"Trey's role has kind of changed a little bit," Roed said. "He's gone from scoring goals to really being a distributor."
But that's not the only thing he provides Richlands, Howard said.
"First of all, he's the captain," Howard said. "He motivates us for every game and gets us ready to play because he always plays hard."
Stevie Ervin and Ransome Stone each added a goal for the Wildcats, who now have won six of their last eight games entering the playoffs.
"We have been playing well the entire time as far as moving the ball and having good shape, we just hadn't been scoring," Roed said. "Here, lately, we have been finding the back of the net. I think the guys are working real hard and good thing happen when they work hard."
Added Howard: "We are getting better and better."
Richlands took a 4-0 lead against Croatan before the Cougars scored on Garrett Bridgewater's penalty kick goal with 12:38 left in the first half.
The goal, Slater said, was a sign his team didn't give up.
"Overall effort was always there," he said.
Croatan 1 0— 0
Richlands 4 1— 5
GOALS—C: Bridgewater. R: Howard 3, Ervin, Stone. ASSISTS—R: Smith 2, Litchenstein, Huber. IN GOAL—C: Zach Tracy (3 saves). R: Jax Eddleman (5 saves), Tolson Jeffrey (0 saves). SHOTS ON GOAL—C 6, R 9. CORNER KICKS—C 3, R 7. RECORDS—C: 3-16-3, 2-10, season complete. R: 10-10-1, 7-5, vs. TBA in state 2-A playoffs.

Between him and Pau, they got 28 FGA combined. That doesn't happen very often when Kobe is on the floor. Our frontcourt is our biggest advantage.
It doesn't matter if Kobe is on the court or not, the ball needs to be worked through the bigs.
That's not true at all. If you're being precise, that is. And I don't think 28 is some magic number of FGA that results in better play.
I looked at the 9 game before we lost Kobe - not one game did those two have less than 20 FGA combined. In fact a lot of those games they had at least 25 FGA combined. Even the Portland game, for example, when Kobe exploded for 47.
Point is, frontcourt needs to get the ball a lot. Doesn't matter if it's Dwight one night and Pau the next. But together, they should get a lot of shots since that is our biggest advantage.
And what's not true? All I said was that Pau and Dwight do not combine for 28 FGAs very often when Kobe is on the floor. What is untrue about that statement?
28 may not be some magic number but I never said it was. "Lakers Advocate" was referring to Dwight's Game 1 numbers, specifically the 12 FGA. I was just pointing out that we should be looking more at the frontcourt's numbers collectively. In Game 1, they got 28, which is a number that doesn't happen very often when Kobe is on the floor.
There is no magic number. You try to play to your strengths as much as possible.
