#Fitness#Weght Loss and Body Image
What's that expression? Fool me once, shame on you. Fool me twice, shame on me. Think I'm pregnant three times I might as well jump off something very very high.
Is that right?
If you're not following me on twitter (which, why not?*) you may have missed the part where my daughter's teacher congratulated me on being pregnant yesterday. I replied, as I have before, "Oh, no, not pregnant" and she stumbled and said, "Oh, I probably look pregnant, too, uh…" and it was awkward, as it always is, and then I went home and cried, like I always do.
Because she's not in the wrong to think it simply based on appearance.
Here's the thing: I recently described my body to the doctor as one of those puzzles where you match the head, torso and legs only my torso completely doesn't match. It's all round and flabby while the arms are strong and my legs are lean.
I'm a broken puzzle, y'all.
I work out. I cut back on sugar. I endulge sometimes because I believe in having a life-style, not a diet, but I try to drink lots of water, eat lots of veggies and pick the right thing more times than not.
And yet, these abs, y'all. THESE ABS. They are stretched in ways they hang like last year's coat in my childrens' closet.
I see it at Yoga. I am strong and powerful. I've been told I have a "beautiful practice" and yet I look like no yogi in the room. Instead, I lay over my flabby abs in Pigon and stare at disdain for the stomach that used to hold a shape. I tell myself not to hate it because it grew the children I adore and love and who love me regardless of how I feel about my abs.
My abs stretched and created life and why I hate them for it is simply because of this one fact:
Now it is painful ovulation and one big hazard to anyone wanting to wish me well.
Like my friend's Mother in Law.
Like the Pioneer Woman, Ree.
Like my daughter's teacher.
I took a picture of my shirt realizing it'll be the last time I wear it. I can understand why she thought I was pregnant. I don't hate her for it. I don't think she was rude. I think she made a mistake, one I'd probably make myself if I wasn't all too aware of the hurt it caused.
It's not her fault I look pregnant. It's mine.
There is an amazingly powerful denial that happens each morning in the mirror. A denial not strong enough to ignore three separate instances (actually, four, but that's another story) of false congratulations. Denial I can't allow to shield me from this one fact: My belly, it is soft. It is soft and round and nothing like the rest of my body.
Now, the choice is mine to decide: What am I going to do about it?**
What would you?
*If you are following me on twitter and I'm not following you back, it's because SPAM bots have forced me to ignore most everything and all you gotta do is send a lovely "@mrsflinger I AM FOLLOWING YOU AND I AM REAL" and I'll be sure to follow back.
** Yes yes, not wearing empire waisted shirts/dresses/anything is my first place to start. :: facepalm ::
As I'm sure you know, many a yogi (I've seen it!) does not look like a rail or a think beauty, even after practicing 10 years and teaching. I've seen some beautiful, curvy women who have mastered their practice. My comment from the Twitter yesterday still stands: I thought you looked great in your yoga pictures, and when I saw you in-person. And I'm not being flattering; I'm being honest.
That doesn't solve your question, though. So, my answer is: If you're unhappy with it, kick your gut's ass—evict it! xo
By Sarah on 2010 03 03
Thanks, Sarah! I think yoga, for me, IS more about mind/body healing and I'm trying to focus on that. But I do want to do something to help me feel good about the state of my mid-section at the same time.
I appreciate the Yoga feedback from you! For sure.
By Mrs. Flinger on 2010 03 03
I have to say, I'm always blown away when I see you—I can say with perfect honesty that I never, ever once noticed your tummy when you came up to visit! You're gorgeous (and I am totally jealous of your Yoga abilities!)
That said, for practical tips? You nailed it on the "don't wear pregnant shirts" bit. And then have you tried just adding a set of ab-work reps to your day? I do three times a week, it takes 4 minutes—10 reps of 10 different styles. You could probably find a good ab video on Youtube, even.
By Karina on 2010 03 03
See, you don't look pregnant to me in these photos. You certainly don't look like you're wearing a shirt that says, "I'm Growing a Baby, Ask Me How," which seems like the appropriate time to ask someone about the contents of their uterus.
By TexasRed on 2010 03 03
ME, TOO. I am, admittedly, a skinny chick, but HOOBOY do I have Dunlop's Disease (my spare tire done lopped over and is trying to eat my knees). The only reason nobody has never wondered if I was pregnant is because I'm super self-conscious about buying the right clothes. Anything that can be construed as maternity-ish is OUT. No empire waists, no shirts shaped like a bell, nada. Fitted is good, long and straight is good, button-up is good. Maybe try taking somebody who will be totally honest shopping with you?
By Burgh Baby on 2010 03 03
Honestly? I think it's just the shirt. Really, truly, honestly.
By Leah on 2010 03 03
You don't look pregnant to me. Also, MAN I wouldn't say that to someone unless I literally saw like a heel or a hand VISIBLY TRYING TO ESCAPE her body.
By Maria on 2010 03 03
Lord help me.
By Pioneer Woman on 2010 03 03
I'm with Maria on this one. You don't look pregnant AT ALL. And I never, ever, ever mention someone even *maybe* being pregnant until they make some reference to it. I've seen people who are OBVIOUSLY pregnant(who actually weren't pregnant at all), so I just say nothing.
(p.s. you're NOT one of those people!)
By Bridget on 2010 03 03
Oh sweetie. I have that bulge too and I am like 100 pounds heavier than you. But here's the thing. You are gorgeous inside and out.
By Aimee Greeblemonkey on 2010 03 03
You don't want to see me in that shirt. That's pregnant!
By Robert on 2010 03 03
Dude. It's the SHIRT. FOR REALS.
Toss that thing.
The wrap and the slight trapeze. NOT GOOD.
You look awesome.
By motherhooduncensored on 2010 03 03
Well if that's what pregnant looks like, then I'm carrying twins, cause this momma's (NOT PREGNANT) gut sticks out a lot further than that. When I'm sucking it in. Sigh.
By Carabee on 2010 03 03
I would happily look like this when not pregnant.
I am lost for advice because maybe just the pic but you don't look remotely pregnant to me… I need another view!
By nutty mummy on 2010 03 03
I agree with Kristin, burn that shirt!
By Sandi on 2010 03 03
I am just totally stunned by your breasts that I don't notice anything else.
(I know. I am useless in this discussion. I have no advice.)
By patois on 2010 03 03
Definitely the shirt… dump it.
By Erin on 2010 03 03
I've been out of bloggy/twitter land for a while but saw this via PW and you in my feed and HAD to see what was up. I remember the PW exchange. And I HAVE to comment. The shirt blows. We all, well most of us anyway, have the post-kiddo pooch. I hate it. But you DO NOT look preggo. The clothes. I can't wear anything that slightly resembles maternity clothes cuz well, it makes me look preggo. Go shopping. and btw, you do have a nice rack woman, show the twins off and no one will glace at the pooch.
By lunzy on 2010 03 03
It's the shirt. (And I actually mistyped first "It's the shit" - so there you go.)
People look at anything empire/trapeze on women of childbearing age and assume they're pregnant, even if they're skinny as a rail.
By Julie @ The Mom Slant on 2010 03 03
You know what is funny? I have no bra on. I was at home cleaning when I took the pic and realized, "Oh, I haz no bra."
You people, I love you and your appreciation for the bewbs.

World Cafe Next: Sam Morrow
By Staff
Originally published on Fri October 3, 2014 1:14 pm
For our World Cafe: Next this week we are featuring the music of Sam Morrow's debut album, Ephemeral. Morrow is from the South. He's in his early 20s. His songs are almost all influenced by his recent struggle with addiction and the insights of its aftermath. But by no means is the album depressing — particularly the tracks we'll play today. Meet Sam Morrow.

RICOH Unified Communication System P3500
"Natural communication—whenever and wherever" is the concept of this system. It's a portable system that can be used for remote meetings in meeting rooms or spaces that do not have remote conferencing equipment. This system does not need to be connected a computer. It is designed for simple operability, so you just need to turn it on and select the other party to establish a remote connection.

To those who might have been familiar with him, especially from his years as a devoted regular of Fonteyn and most specifically Nureyev performances at Lincoln Centers Metropolitan Opera, it will come as sad news to learn that Bob Gable died yesterday.
Hed recently been living in a nursing home after moving out of his Manhattan apartment, which was affected not long ago by a fire.
His ever cheerful presence and inimitable raspy voice were well known on the NY dance scene. His extensive collection of materials connected to Nureyev were carefully gathered and mounted by Bob into numerous scrapbooks, which were recently donated to the NYPL dance collection.
I suspect few who regularly attended NY-area performances, in particular, Met standees, could have missed Bobs presence.

text: Coffee is described as an "intense bronze." It's a chocolate brown with warm undertones and a matte finish. It had good pigmentation, but the texture was a bit dry. It was uncomfortable to apply to the lash line, as it tended to skip and tug. The color wore well for almost eight hours with minimal fading. Bobbi Brown Chocolate (LE, $24.00) is similar. Urban Decay Demolition (P, $19.00) is cooler-toned. MAC Rich Experience (P, $20.00) is more neutral-toned. See comparison swatches.

A little rain didn't stop the Miracle League from having a good time at their picnic Saturday morning. Around 60 people gathered to play on their field at the Saul Alexander Playground, eat lunch, and celebrate a $5,000 donation from the Southern Barbecue Network.
The Southern Barbecue Network donates to a different charity every year. For Jim Harmon, the network's president, the Summerville Miracle League was an easy choice.
"It's because of what they do for the community," he said. "They do so much for these folks."
The Southern Barbecue Network, which spans across three states, is headquartered in Summerville, another reason why the network chose the Miracle League, Harmon said.
As the check was presented and the dollar amount was announced, gasps and cheers erupted from the crowd.
Although Harmon did not know how the group would spend the money, he estimated it will be put toward covering the Miracle League's operating expenses.
The Miracle League provides children and adults with mental and physical disabilities the opportunity to play baseball.

Click Here to Watch the Whole Video in HD at Boynapped
Boynapped features young lads who are kidnapped, tied-up, gagged, teased and then either left bound or dumped off on the side of the road by their gay seducers.
This time, handsome crew member Luke Desmond is in charge taking control of buff, teen Jake Kelvin. Kelvin begins to understand that power is all about who's in chains and who's not. Very nervous, Jake takes Luke's 9.5-inch dick in his virgin ass and cries out as it pounds deep into his hole. Lowering his head with shame, Jake finds himself ordered to suck Luke's dick as he calls to the crew, inviting everyone in to jerk-off over Jake. Sebastian and Kieron join Luke's fun, cocks out, hard and being wanked until each crew member releases their hot loads over humiliated Jake's face.

I should know better than to think, "They can't be serious proposing that!" But the Democrats' fix for healthcare sends even my shock-and-surprise meter into red zone.
The President's self-styled Health Reform Plan, or ObamaCare, reforms [fixes] nothing. It robs Peter to pay…whom? No one?
ObamaCare calls for $1.5 trillion (yes, with a "t") dollars in new expenses. These supposedly will be offset by three mechanisms: 1) Income tax surcharge on the top 0.1% of wage earners ("$544b"); 2) Cuts in MediCaid and MediCare spending ("$500b"); and 3) Penalties on individuals and companies who do not purchase insurance ("$200b").
Testifying before the Senate Budget Committee, the Director of the CBO (Congressional Budget Office) said that ObamaCare would accelerate, not slow the health cost spiral and that the Administration's revenue calculations were "unrealistic' [he was being gentle].
ObamaCare is a classic fix-that-fails (from systems thinking). No, wait. That is wrong. It is worse. It is a fix-that-backfires. Think about it from two viewpoints: effect on your health care and effect of the economy.
Effect on your health care
Your doctor does not accept new Medicare patients not because she is a money-grubbing capitalist. She just wants to stay in business. What MediCare pays does not cover her marginal costs. With a large enough number of MediCare patients, the doctor cannot make payroll. And now the Obama Plan will cut MediCare payments even further!
Let's say for discussion' sake that ObamaCare actually does increase the number of people with health insurance coverage. What good is having insurance if the doctor won't see you? She cannot see you because she cannot afford to. Recall the commercial: "More taste! Less Filling!" ObamaCare is More Insurance! Less Care!
Additionally, ObamaCare is likely to worsen the quality of health care. No joke. At the same time as ARRA 2009 says it will expand electronic medical records, it allocates billions to "beef up" the security imposed by HIPAA. This of course reduces the free exchange of medical data, which increases errors and prevents learning.
Effect on the economy
At present, the Government is trying to stimulate our stagnant economy. What will ObamaCare do to the economy? While it makes easy political fodder to attack the extremely wealthy, when you super-tax them bad things happen. Ask Great Britain: they tried it. The super-wealthy either find ways to protect their money by making it non-taxable or they became…less wealthy. Either way, they will neither spend nor invest, just hoard and protect. In the midst of a severe recession, ObamaCare will remove a major driver of economic growth.
For hospitals, the cuts in MediCare and MediCaid will be devastating. Right now, hospitals are losing money on these patients. They have to make it up by 'over'-charging privately insured patients, called revenue shifting. What are they going to do after further cuts? Answer: shift revenue even more or go out of business. Can you think of a third option? I cannot.
The penalty aspect of ObamaCare is supposed to raise $200 billion. [Where do they get these numbers – from the twilight zone?] Employers who now do not offer health insurance benefits cannot because of the cost. Penalizing them will just take more money out of their pockets and simply drive them out of business. Then their employees will have neither insurance nor a job.
Individuals who choose not to buy health insurance do so because they too cannot afford it. Does the government really think that imposing a financial penalty – increasing the out-of-pocket cost for the non-wealthy individual –will suddenly make that person go out and buy what he could not afford in the first place?
Just because a jerk says it doesn't make it false.
Years ago, I learned an important lesson. Just because a jerk, someone I disliked, said something did not make it untrue. We need to evaluate the message more than the messenger. The Republicans are currently the 'bad guys.' They may oppose the President's Plan largely on partisan grounds. Nonetheless, when they say this Plan will not work, that statement (regardless whose mouth it comes out of) is true. Whether it is CBO Director Douglas Elmendorf or Rush Limbaugh saying that ObamaCare will fail, both are right.
• Will not increase access to care.
• Will not halt or even slow the rise of national healthcare expenditures.
• Will increase errors but not quality.
• Will increase the acute shortages of healthcare personnel.
• Will increase our already unsupportable national deficit.
ObamaCare will not reinject care into healthcare. It will backfire and as a bonus, ObamaCare will extend the current recession.

Scarves and Hats for Operation Gratitude
Here are answers to the questions we are most often asked about our knitting/crocheting project for the troops.
Is there a pattern for the scarves and hats? There is no specific pattern that we ask you to follow so feel free to use your own. We do recommend that you keep them simple and perhaps use slightly larger needles (sizes 11-13 are good) so more scarves can be made! If you would like, please feel free to use one of the patterns posted below.
What size should the scarves and hats be? It is important that you keep your scarves within our size restrictions (5-7" across and 48-50" long) so they fit into our care packages. No fringe please (except perhaps a small amount for fleece scarves). There are no size restrictions for the hats, but we recommend that you use a human head as a model!
What colors should we use? While we accept any color, it is best to keep the colors on the subtle side–blues, browns, olives, grays, maroon, and black would all be excellent choices for both males and females. The troops always appreciate military colors.
What fibers are acceptable? We will accept scarves and hats made from wool, acrylics, or non-flammable fleece materials. Try to avoid scratchy fibers, since the items will be worn next to their skin. The softer the better! Due to potential allergies and/or Military uniform restrictions, please list the fiber content on your "Made With Love" note that you attach to the scarf (see next paragraph).
Should I attach a letter or note? Definitely! Operation Gratitude would like all hand-made items to include a short note and an e-mail or mailing address so that the troops can respond, if they have time. A brief note is very important and will make your gift even more special for the recipient. It could be as simple as "Hand-made with love" OR a note or letter telling him/her about yourself—whatever you'd like! If you are uncomfortable including your own e-mail address please feel free to use ncknit.com. Attaching a personal note is totally optional!
PHILANTHROPY has note cards for those who want to add a message of caring and encouragment. Operation Gratitude has requested that we add the fiber content to all of our knitted items. This can be noted on the back of the note card.
Knitting Patterns
Simple Knit Garter Stitch Scarf:
Using a "bulky" yarn, often indicated by the number "5″ on the label, cast on 14 stitches using size 13 needles. Be sure to cast on loosely so the stitches don't pull. Work in garter stitch (knit all stitches) for the entire length of the scarf until the yarn is almost gone; bind off loosely. Weave in ends to finish. Finished scarf will be approx 5-1/2″ wide and approx 46″ in length.
Simple Knit Ribbed Scarf

Bind off loosely.
Remember-no fringe
Instructions for Knitted Hat:
-Size 7 or 8 double point needles (or size to obtain gauge) NOTE: If you knit with loose or medium tension, size 7 needles will make a snug, close-fitting hat, perfect for everyday wear and to fit well. Use size 8 needles if your tension is tight. -One stitch marker.

Cut yarn, leaving a 6" tail. Thread tail through remaining 7 sts. Pull tight and secure.
Crochet Patterns
Instructions for Crochet Scarf:
To start crocheting, you need to make a chain stitch. Tie a loop in the yarn end, and place the crochet needle in the loop. With the needle, loop the yarn around the needle once and pull through the starting loop. That's chain 1. Loop the yarn around the needle again, pulling it through the loop that is on the needle, that's chain 2. Continue until you have the amount of chains you need.
Single crochet (SC) is the same motion, only now you have a chain to connect to. So the first SC will occur by putting the needle through the back loop of the last chain that you just completed, loop the yarn around the needle, pull through the back loop. Now you have 2 loops on the needle. Then, loop the yarn around the needle and pull through both loops on the needle, leaving 1 loop on the needle. Insert the needle in the next chai (back loop). Loop the yarn around the needle and pull through, leaving 2 loops on the needle. Loop yarn around needle, pull through both loops, leaving 1 loop on the needle. Continue. Chain 1 at the end of each row to allow for the next row up.
The easy stitch that I use is single crochet. If I want to crochet lengthwise, I will chain 120 stitches. (that gives me about 42″ long. I crochet loosely, so if you are just starting, you may crochet a little more tighter and may want to measure for length) Then, turn and SC in first chain, but only in the back loop. Continue across to the last chain. Chain 1 (allows for the next row up), turn, and single crochet in first stitch,( back loop only) continuing to last stitch. Chain 1, turn. Continue for several rows until it measures 5-7″ wide.
Crocheting in the back loop gives a ridged pattern
To crochet for width, I do the same thing, starting with 15-16 chains to give me 5-7″ (measure, depending on the size of your stitch) Turn, crochet in the first chain,( back loop only), across to the end. Chain 1 (allows for the next row up) turn, and crochet in first stitch,( back loop only), across to the end. Chain 1, turn. Continue until the length becomes 50″ long.
Instructions for Crochet Hat
Materials Any soft worsted weight 100% washable or superwash wool yarn that will knit to gauge, such as Cascade 220 Superwash or equivalent.

The X Factor
Watch Carly Rose Sonenclar Sing Beyonce's "If I Were a Boy" on X Factor Live Shows Week 5, December 5, 2012 (VIDEO)
Carly Rose Sonenclar sang a beautiful version of Beyonce's "If I Were a Boy" for her Pepsi Challenge fan-chosen song. The only criticism she got was that she sings some pretty downer and slow songs every week, and they'd like to see her do something a little more upbeat. What do you think, is she a lock to win or was this not her best showing?

(Jonestown, MS) Encouraging news for people in the small Mississippi community of Jonestown.
Sister Teresa Shields the Catholic nun brutally attacked in May is recovering and hopes to be back working in the Coahoma County town in August.
Sister Teresa has a 28 year legacy of service in Jonestown and recently sent an open letter to her friends there thanking them for their support and hoping to see them soon.
"I am grateful for the many cards and messages I have received," she wrote.
Appie Phiillips read the letter from Sister Teresa Shields and is glad to share the good news with granddaughters Alexia and Paris.
The nun was stabbed several times May 12th and has been undergoing therapy for injuries to her right hand. She is now recovering in Seattle.
Appie Phillips is still upset by what happened to the nun.
"It was a shock…it was a shock. No one would have ever thought that someone would attack the nun. Because she's just been a sweetheart," Phillips said.
Sister Teresa has been a fixture in this Coahoma County town for 28 years.
She is director of the Jonestown Family Center, a place that has touched almost all the 1700 people living here, including 11-year old Alexia Phillips.
"She was sweet. intelligent and she always taught us how to be good and don't be disrespectful," she said.
Now there is a ray of hope that Sister Teresa will soon be returning to her work in the community.
Mayor Joe Phillips was excited to get the letter from Sister Teresa.
"I'm healing so well that by the time you see me in August you will hardly notice anything amiss," the mayor said.
The Mayor is even more surprised to hear the nun will be returning in just a couple of months.
He said her impact on Jonestown's younger generation has been immeasurable.
"Working hard with the children and making opportunity and possibility for them to succeed in life," he said.
In a town where jobs are scarce and the economy has yet to rebound, Sister Teresa's
letter is uplifting.
Especially one line: "I truly believe that we will be a stronger community because of this event."
Michael Matthews is jailed on aggravated assault charges for the attack on Sister Teresa Shields.

Grazie Mille!
Over 600 guests enjoy an "Evening in Tuscany" at annual Archbishop's Gala
Including funds generated by ticket sales, the car raffle, ad book, sponsorships and auction items, the gala raised a total of $570,125 in support of the seminary's mission.
Grazie Mille! Thank you very much!
The 614 guests enjoyed a sumptuous "Evening in Tuscany" on June 6, 2012, at the Ford Conference and Event Center in Dearborn, Michigan. Gala decorations, the cocktail reception, dinner menu, wine selections and afterglow reception reflected this rustic and romantic theme. Radio personality Paul W. Smith emceed the gala and was just as personable and humorous as he is on his WJR morning talk/news show.
The only sad note: the evening opened with a time of prayer for Elwin Vigneron, the father of Archbishop Vigneron, and for the Vigneron family. Mr. Vigneron passed away a day earlier. Of course, the archbishop was unable to attend the gala.
Archbishop's Gala 2013 will be held on Thursday, June 6, 2013, at an exciting new venue, the Riverview Ballroom at Cobo Center in Detroit. Download a reservation and learn more about advertising and sponsorship opportunities here. So mark your calendar and we hope to see you then. Ciao!

Author Readings to Highlight South African Struggles
Published on April 20, 2011
SELINSGROVE—Glen Retief, assistant professor of English and creative writing at Susquehanna University, will read from his newly released memoir, "The Jack Bank: A Memoir of a South African Childhood" at two area venues in April: at Susquehanna University on April 27 at 7:30 p.m. in Isaacs Auditorium, in the university's Seibert Hall, and at the Midtown Scholar bookstore, 1302 N. Third St., Harrisburg, on April 30 at 7 p.m. Both events are free and open to the public.
Retief grew up in a South African game park, with its attendant beauty and peril, during the apartheid era. From 1988 to 1992, he studied English at the University of Cape Town, where he became involved in the anti-apartheid struggle as well as the lesbian and gay movement. Beyond his childhood in a vast wilderness area, the book tells of Retief's meeting an apartheid death squad leader, surviving anti-gay bullying, navigating political violence in his homeland, and successfully lobbying Nelson Mandela's African National Congress to include non-discrimination on the grounds of sexual orientation in the South African Bill of Rights.
In early 1994, Retief immigrated to the United States. Before landing in academia, he worked as an instructor of homeless, HIV-positive substance abusers, advocating needle exchange; an English as a Second Language teacher; and a teacher of high school students with learning disabilities. He has lived in Cape Town, New York City, Tallahassee, London, Madrid, Guadalajara, and Richmond, Ky., and now makes his home in Sunbury, Pa.
Retief has been published in the St. Petersburg Times and Pittsburgh Post-Gazette, and in a variety of literary journals. He has been awarded a James Michener Writing Fellowship and the AWP Intro Journals Award for Creative Nonfiction. He has also written newspaper columns and op-ed pieces in, among others, the Pittsburgh Post-Gazette and Harrisburg Patriot-News, and for InsideHigherEd.com.
Retief now takes small groups of Susquehanna University students back to his homeland for two weeks of cultural immersion as part of SU's GO (Global Opportunities) program. His challenge—and great satisfaction—is to take college students out of their comfort zones, through Cape Town and a traditional Xhosa village, while sharing his turbulent experiences growing up and opening their eyes to what privilege really means.

Research Forum
Professor Paul Hills
Report on the Frank Davis lectures, Autumn Term 2005
Viewing time: artists on art and temporality
In a departure from tradition, the Frank Davis lectures last autumn were given by artists rather than academics. The general title for the series, Viewing time: artists on art and temporality, was chosen to reflect the fact that today artistic practices engage time in a startling variety of modes. Five artists of international distinction, working in a variety of media, spoke about their own work and reflected on the ways in which art invites us to view time.
The first lecture was launched with musical mood-setting by the 2004 Turner Prize winner and Courtauld Institute graduate, Jeremy Deller. After opening with a slide of a Martyrdom by Caravaggio – and a tribute to his Courtauld tutor Jennifer Fletcher – he went on to show clips of his epic restaging of the Battle of Orgreave. Violence, memory and time were interwoven in an enthralling lecture. Jochen Gerz, the second speaker, eloquently explained why he distrusted the traditional role of sculpture as a medium that attempted to resist time and thereby deny the essential fact of the human condition that we all die. His celebrated 'antimonuments' were the focus of seminars run by colleagues in the Institute in the run-up to the lecture. The third speaker, Richard Wentworth, wittily showed how his sculptures and photographs may lead us to reappraise our perceptions of urban experience, objects and the traces of time. He was followed by Timothy Hyman, a champion of figurative painting, writer and exhibition curator. Taking a long perspective, Hyman discussed how his own pictorial narratives of the family and the London scene could be placed in a tradition going back to the Siena of Ambrogio Lorenzetti. We were fortunate that the series culminated with a talk by one of the most widely admired contemporary artists, Cornelia Parker. In her lecture, Parker stressed how her work stemmed from an essential acceptance of mortality. It was a moving conclusion to a series that enlarged our vision of the temporality of art.
The lectures drew capacity audiences from inside the Institute and from a wider community of artists and students, many of whom were attending a public lecture at the Courtauld for the first time. The series boosted the Institute as a venue for the discussion of contemporary art, and formed a fitting prelude to the launch of the East Wing collection a few months later.

LOS ANGELES (AP) - "The Avengers" are returning for a superhero sequel three years from now.
Disney and its Marvel Studios unit announced Thursday that the follow-up to this year's biggest hit will arrive in theaters on May 1, 2015.
The studio announced last week that Joss Whedon will be back to write and direct the as-yet-untitled sequel.
Released in May, "The Avengers" gathered such Marvel comic-book heroes as Iron Man (Robert Downey Jr.), Captain America (Chris Evans), the Hulk (Mark Ruffalo) and Thor (Chris Hemsworth). The film has taken in nearly $1.5 billion worldwide.
There will be plenty of Marvel action building up to "The Avengers" follow-up. Downey's "Iron Man 3" is due out next May, followed by Hemsworth's "Thor" sequel in November 2013 and Evans' "Captain America" sequel in April 2014.

Special Procedures - Uterine Fibroid Embolization
A Uterine fibroid embolization (UFE) procedure can be an effective alternative to surgery or hormonal therapy for the treatment of symptomatic uterine fibroid tumors. Fibroids are common non-cancerous growths that develop in the walls of the uterus. The size and location of fibroids can lead to problems for some women including pain, heavy bleeding and urinary frequency. Hormonal therapy, myomectomy (surgical removal of fibroids) and hysterectomy are the most common treatment options available.
A UFE is usually performed after a thorough evaluation by a gynecologist. During this evaluation the diagnosis of fibroids should be confirmed with transvaginal ultrasound or pelvic MRI or CT. Other causes for the patient's symptoms must be excluded such as endometriosis, infection and cancer. The ideal candidate for UFE includes a patient who has symptomatic fibroids, has been advised to seek treatment, does not plan to have more children and prefers a non-surgical procedure.
Studies show that 78 to 94 percent of women who have the procedure experience significant relief or total relief of symptoms. The procedure is effective even when multiple fibroids are involved. No recurrences have occurred in women who have been followed for up to seven years after the procedure.
UFE, performed under conscious sedation, involves placement of a small catheter in the right femoral artery by a radiologist. For the procedure, a small incision is made in the groin and a catheter is guided under fluoroscopic x-ray to one or both of the uterine arteries. Tiny plastic or gelatin sponge particles are injected into the uterine artery(s) via the catheter. The uterine arteries supply blood to the fibroid tumor(s). The particles cut off the blood flow causing the tumor(s) to shrink overtime. Before the catheter is removed, an angiogram / arteriogram is performed to verify that blood flow to the tumor is occluded.
After the catheter is removed, patients are required to lie flat for 6 hours to promote blood clotting at the puncture site. Fibroid embolization usually requires an overnight hospital stay. Moderate to severe pelvic cramping and low-grade fever common for 24 to 72 hours after the procedure, are generally tolerated with oral pain relievers. Recovery takes approximately one to two weeks. For more information see embolization.

A Technique for Geographical Positioning Planning and RF Power Calculation of Radio Base Stations Using Geoprocessed Images
Recent Patents on Signal Processing,
3(1): 22-33.
E.A. Alves, M.G. Almeida and M. M. Ribeiro
Federal Center for Technological Education of Minas Gerais, CEFET-MG, Campus II, Av. Amazonas, 7675, 30.510-000 Belo Horizonte, MG, Brazil.
In this paper, a new patent technique was developed to support the geographical positioning planning and RF power calculation of Radio Base Stations (RBS) for the Cellular Mobile Systems using geoprocessed images of a mountain urban environment. The region of study is a neighborhood of Belo Horizonte City, in Minas Gerais State, Brazil. The mountain urban environment was considered in order to map the electromagnetic waves propagation for better coverage of cellular mobile service having the frequency band range of 800-900 MHz. The contributions of this research are: the implementation of a Geographic Information System (GIS) in order to exploit and simulate possibilities of geopositioning for the RBS to guarantee efficient area coverage, along with a quality service for radiofrequency system; the evaluation of power prediction levels for radiofrequency signals using Okumura-Hata propagation model, in order to obtain an optimum algorithm to register the geopositioning of the RBS. As a result, the minimum distances among fifteen suggested RBS and their coverage mapping regions are shown.

VETMEDIN should not be given in case of hypertrophic cardiomyopathy, aortic stenosis, or any other clinical condition where an augmentation of cardiac output is inappropriate for functional or anatomical reasons. The safety of VETMEDIN has not been established in dogs with asymptomatic heart disease or in heart failure caused by etiologies other than atrioventricular valvular insufficiency or dilated cardiomyopathy. The safe use of VETMEDIN has not been evaluated in dogs younger than 6 months of age, dogs with congenital heart defects, dogs with diabetes mellitus or other serious metabolic diseases, dogs used for breeding, or pregnant or lactating bitches. Use only in dogs with clinical evidence of heart failure. The most common side effects reported in field studies were poor appetite, lethargy, diarrhea, dyspnea, azotemia, weakness, and ataxia. If side effects should occur, pet owners should contact their veterinarian. Please refer to the Full Prescribing Information here.
VETMEDIN is recommended by the American College of Veterinary Internal Medicine (ACVIM) for dogs with CHF at the onset of clinical signs.3 ACVIM guidelines advocate pimobendan as part of standard of care for CHF.3
Don't wait to add VETMEDIN to your standard protocol for CHF. VETMEDIN has been shown to increase the length and quality of life in dogs with CHF.1,2 For more information about the ACVIM consensus statement, click here.
* Clinical studies were completed using VETMEDIN Capsules. In the US, only the chewable tablets are licensed. Both the capsules and chewable tablets contain the same pharmaceutical ingredient, pimobendan, and are considered equivalent for clinical use. Bioequivalence, however, has not been shown.

Obama Needs To Teach The Public How to Get Out Of The Mess We're In, But He's Not
Robert Reich: The economic lesson President Obama ought to be teaching is that targeted tax cuts, mostly for small business, are good to the extent they give businesses a nudge toward creating more jobs. But businesses won't begin to create lots of jobs until they have lots of customers. And that won't happen until lots more Americans have work. The only way to get them work when businesses aren't hiring is for government to prime the pump.

Of course not sending nude photos of yourself in the first place would be a good start.
Before cell phones, people actually used poloroids for nude pics rather than film so that the film developer didn't see the nudity…and apparently people were a lot more cautious back then than these kids now!!

Built-in dataset: an innovation in reporting tool

Users often ask for technical support when meeting difficult problems in designing reports. However, as technical support can't link to users' databases, they can't preview users' reports and find exactly the causes of the problems. Then technical support can only guess and give users advices like "Try method A", "Or try method B" and so on. It's not just a waste of time. What's more, after trying again and again, users may still can't solve their problems at last.
Is there any way to enable technical support to browse and debug a report without linking to user's database?
As a professional
Web reporting tool
, RAQ Report makes great effort to solve this problem for users' convenience. As a result, RAQ report invented a method-Built-in Dataset. It means to store the data of a report into the report template. Then, there is no need to link to user's database when previewing the report.
With the help of built-in dataset, technical support can solve users' problems in shortest time.
Only built-in dataset may create another problem. When the dataset of a report is converted to built-in, users need to save the report as a new one, or else the original report would be covered and the dataset has to be edited again. Moreover, after the modified report is sent back by technical support, users have to modify the original report according to it again.
Don't worry. In order to reduce users' workload, RAQ report provides the function of Recovering Built-in Dataset. That is to say, users can recover datasets of SQL or other types when they are converted to built-in dataset.
Built-in dataset makes no obstacle between technical support and users. That's great!
Easy Operation
In the configuration dialog box of dataset, users just need to click a button to convert a dataset to a built-in dataset or recover a built-in dataset in
RAQ Report

Virginia Beach, Va. (WTKR) – The Coast Guard is intensifying efforts to stop poaching of Atlantic Striped Bass off the coast of Virginia this winter.
Currently it is illegal for fishermen, both commercial and recreational, to catch, harvest or even have Atlantic Striped Bass in what is known as the Exclusive Economic Zone.
That zone, known as the EEZ, starts three nautical miles off shore and extends out 200 nautical miles, in what are known as federal waters.
The Atlantic Striped Bass Conservation Act was passed back in 1984 to counteract the severe population drop of the fish.
"Throughout the centuries, they were so overfished because they are so good," explained Master Chief Petty Officer Stephen Atchley, the officer-in-charge of the Coast Guard Cutter Shearwater. "We over-fished them and over-fished them and over-fished them almost to extinction."
"It's a federally regulated fish – if we don't conserve that species, it's not going to be there any longer," explained Maritime Enforcement Specialist Second Class Timothy Grimshaw.
People caught fishing for or with the striped bass within the EEZ are subject to civil fines.
The Coast Guard has established an Atlantic Striped Bass Reporting Hotline at 757-398-6399. They're encouraging the public to call with any suspected poaching activity, including a description, those involved and the time and location of the suspected offense.
"We are trying to ensure that everyone is playing by the rules. So that way when on the weekend when I'm going fishing, I have fish to fish for," explained Atchley.

EVERYTHING Jimmy Fallon does is hilarious. HE'S HYSTERICAL. Look at him, walking. Genius. Who is renting TAXI with me tonight? Anyone? ME. I am. I'm renting it right now. Done. Bam!
Seriously though, I mean Fever Pitch was a COMEDY GOLD MINE. Are the Sox winning? Losing? Is he going to lose his mind? Lose the girl? JIMMY FALLON wins at life. I mean, Saturday Night Live just isn't the same without him is it? Can we also start a petition to bring back Fallon to SNL?
I can't get over this picture. Look at how FUNNY he is! I mean, no wonder Horatio Sanz couldn't keep a straight face around him. The guy just screams FUNNY. I'd go on and on about this but I am having trouble typing through the tears…
I frikkin' love this man!
Thank you Jimmy Fallon. Thank you for providing us with non-stop laughter. You are truly the funniest man to ever grace this earth. The world needs more people like you Jimmy Fallon. Now if you'll excuse me, I'm going to go watch my Pauly Shore DVD box set for more genuine laughter.
God speed Jimmy Fallon. God Speed.

It's highly unlikely that Brunnstrom or Andersson earn roster spots next season. They're already crowded on the third and fourth lines (Helm, Abdelkader, Eaves, Miller, Emmerton, Mursak -- as well as Bertuzzi, Cleary and Nyquist as either 2nd or 3rd liners, and they might sign a physical 4th line type this summer).
I have a feeling they will be a package deal. Either both will return or both will retire.
"We need a couple of tough young studs w/ promise ,( ie the dreaded"potential" label), and a couple of tough North American veterans to ride shotgun for the aging European studs.''
Any suggestions?
We might be destined for "Amway Arena.''
18,000 seems to be about the average these days for new arenas. Here's the capacity for each of the NHL's eight newest arenas:
Winnipeg (15,015), Pittsburgh (18,087), New Jersey (17,625), Phoenix (17,125), Dallas (18,532), Colorado (18,007), Columbus (18,144) and Minnesota (18,064).
Immediately? Technically, teams must wait until July 1 to talk to him, although the Capitals likely will trade his negotiating rights beforehand. Still, he can't be signed until July 1.
Tatar definitely will be in Grand Rapids at the start of next season, unless there's a chain reaction of events (they don't sign a free-agent forward this summer, Hudler bolts, Holmstrom retires, there's injuries). Even then, Tatar likely will be in GR. Just no room for him on the Wings' roster. Unless he somehow beats out Nyquist, which doesn't seem likely.
Some great restaurants (Boone's, Jolly Pumpkin) and a nice, little downtown area, too.
Comparing Bertuzzi's baggage with Semin's is like apples and oranges.
Bertuzzi was genuinely remorseful for what he did and highly motivated to redeem himself.
Semin has a different kind of reputation to rebuild -- that of a floater.
I think Semin will stay in the NHL. He's unrestricted in a year in which the market is thin. He will cash in big. Get way more, I think, in the NHL than he could in the KHL.
It was different with Radulov the first time he left Nashville and this time, too, because he's restricted. So his earning power in the NHL is limited.
Wait, let me get this straight:
Semin will score 50 goals in Detroit how many times? Not one, not two, not three, not four ...
Don't think so. One of the reasons Staal wants to become a UFA after next season is that he's stuck behind two star centers in Crosby and Malkin. It would be the same thing here with Datsyuk and Zetterberg. He'd want no part of that.
Thought I'd jump in here and respond to suggestions that Semin will sign a one-year deal for $3 million.
No way. No chance. Not in a strong market, not in a thin market.
And he's not going to sign for one year. He'll want to cash in big on a long-term deal in a thin market. He'll probably get the third-most lucrative contract among FAs this summer, behind only Parise and Suter. That's a lot more than $3 million.
KW, your posts are the first thing I look for when I roll out of bed every day at noon or so.
"If Franzen does not produce as he should, trade him for Nash.''
Good one.
Wings could use more grit, a big, physical fourth-line player who runs other team's D.
But, let me ask you this: How many Cups has Dale Hunter and Washington won?
Suter might re-sign with Nashville, but I refuse to believe all this talk about Minnesota being one of his desired destinations. I think it's just propaganda meant to appease the folks from that part of the country, make them think that he seriously considered signing there, when it fact he has no intention of doing so.
Just my opinion.
Philly also is a possibility, in addition to Detroit.
As far as Parise goes, he might want to stay in NJ, but can NJ afford him, with the financial troubles that franchise has been experiencing?
Correct, they have no trade value. No team is going to relinquish even a 7th round draft pick for a player who might not be good enough to play in the NHL and has no interest in playing in the AHL and working his way up.
We seem to be getting a lot of this type of sentiment on these forums.
No update yet on Helm. He was expected to be in the cast for a while yet. But he's expected to be ready for the start of training camp.
