We've all heard of the artist's Muse. While some artists credit (or blame) an outside source of inspiration for their work — whether it is one of the classical Greek goddesses or an actual human being — painter Denise Elizabeth Stone of La Grande interacts with a unique, physical muse, consisting of the very materials that she uses.
Stone's signature medium, batik watercolor, is an intricate process that integrates handmade Asian papers, beeswax, watercolor or gouache, and ink to create what Stone describes as "creative descendants of traditional silk and cotton batik fabrics."
A gallery artist at Wenaha Gallery in Dayton, Denise Elizabeth Stone is the featured Pacific Northwest artist for Art Event, a two-week showcasing of her works that runs through March 31. The gallery is at 219 E. Main St. Call 509-382-2124.
Viewers find Stone's work to be richly colorful, exuberant and full of texture. Due to the batik watercolor process, which involves painting on the paper, coating it with a paraffin/beeswax mixture, crumpling the paper to crack the wax, ink washing and ironing the wax out, Stone never knows exactly what she will find at the end.
"Paint behaves very differently on the Asian papers," Stone explains. "Sometimes, it's almost like painting on tissue paper — the paint spreads out, and it's hard to control.
"You have to accept that this is a joint creation between you, the paint, and the paper."
It's almost as if there were a psychology to the process, which is not an inapt description, given Stone's career background as a psychotherapist and vocational rehabilitation counselor. Upon moving to Oregon, Stone retired from her day job to pursue art full time, and she credits her experience and training in the world of psychology as definite influences in her art.
"I have taken the long road to full-time art, a scenic route winding through the vistas of science, spiritual studies and psychology," Stone says. "As a former psychotherapist, I have an abiding interest in the psychological nature of transformation, archetype, and the Divine Feminine."
Ideas for Stone's paintings often begin as dreams or sudden revelations, with images of trees, caves, birds, fish or other animals being prominent. While not seeking to convey a specific message of spirituality, Stone aims to express a feeling of sacredness and connectedness, reflecting her tremendous respect and reverence for the natural world. Because the essence of Stone's art incorporates universal symbolism, viewers find themselves drawn into a story, one that often expresses a common human experience.
Primarily self-taught, Stone has taken classes and workshops in art and finds continued inspiration through her association with the Batik Convergence, a collaboration of four full-time artists who specialize in the batik watercolor medium.
"The BatCons provide constructive critiques, invaluable support, and wild and wacky ideas!" Stone says. "They give me that extra little push to create, to try something new, to stretch in new directions."
Stone has exhibited her work in shows and exhibitions throughout Oregon and in Washington and has received numerous awards, including second place at the 2013 Wallowa Valley Festival of the Arts, a competitively juried exhibition drawing the top artists of the Pacific Northwest. Her first award, at Baker City's Art at the Crossroads, is her most memorable; it included honorable mention for one painting and People's Choice for another.
"It just knocked my socks off!" Stone recalls. "I have received different awards since then, but this first one was the biggest thrill because it was so unexpected."
Stone shows her work online at www.therowdygoddess.com, a name she chose to remind herself to not be afraid to shake things up a bit. Professionally, she uses her full name, Denise Elizabeth Stone, in honor of her grandmother, whose middle name is Elizabeth, and also in honor of her mother, who named her for strong women.

I have both this brush and the kabuki but the quality is the same and I think the review I wrote one kabuki applies to this one too.
Absolutley worst brush ever! And for the price I paid it's simply outrageous. I hate everything about it, from the way it applies, the shape and the bristles. It applies really patchy and I have to use about 3x times the amount of product compared to a regular brush because the product "falls down" into the brush and doesn't stay on the top part of the bristles. This means that I have to add more and more product to get any results. Even my cheap blush brush does a way better job.
The bristles are a nightmare! They are really harsh and sharp and irritate my skin, it hurts and my skin often stays red for a long time after applying. I sometimes avoid using my mineral makeup just because of this brush. I hate the BE brushes to the extent that I threw all of them in the thrash the second I bought a new ones.
Age: 25-29
Skin: Oily, Medium, Warm
Hair: Black, Straight, Fine

For a billion dollar mineral makeup corporation, you would think they'd get their mineral brushes right. I got this one from the "Try Me" kit and as time went on, this brush gave a scratchy feel to my face. Sure it'll soften once it's washed and conditioned... until it is used again continually and that scratchy feeling will resurface once again. Also, it never stopped its shedding process that you would think it's alive! I gave it one lippie since it was great when buffing mineral foundation onto the face. Other than that, I would never repurchase this until Leslie Blodgett (the owner of Bare Minerals) makes an executive decision on making these things better!
Age: 19-24
Skin: Combination, Medium, Warm
Hair: Brunette, Wavy, Medium
Eyes: Hazel
Anyone who uses this brush on a daily basis will know that over time it becomes scratchy and irritating on the skin! Initially I thought it was lovely and soft and worked well with the BE foundation application. However with regular use and frequent washing (using MAC brush cleanser) gradually this brush becomes sharp and poky. I LOVE BE and have used the line for a few years now (and will continue to) but they REALLY need to address the quality of their brushes!
Age: 18 & Under
Skin: Oily, Fair, Cool
Hair: Blond, Straight, Medium
Eyes: Blue
I don't like to apply my bare minerals foundation with this brush because it does give a light coverage. I do love it for Bronzer though! Since it is a light coverage brush, when you use it with bronzer, you get the right amount of coverage! The bristles have never fallen out on me, but it does kind of itch if you pat the bronzer instead of swiping it. It's a great brush for bronzer
Age: 19-24
Skin: Sensitive, Fair, Cool
Hair: Brunette, Wavy, Medium
Eyes: Blue
Ugh, when I first started with makeup and bought a Bare Escentuals kit, I didn't even THINK that this might have been a bad brush - I just figured all brushes were like this. Since then I have learned the error of my ways. This thing is SO scratchy and while it's normal for brushes to lose their bristles when you wash them, they SHOULDN'T fall out all over your face and clothes WHILE YOU'RE USING THEM. Terrible, terrible brush, don't ever buy it, ever. I think any random face brush you buy at a drugstore will work better than this, it's that bad. Not worth your money.
Age: 19-24
Skin: Oily, Fair, Neutral
Hair: Brunette, Other, Medium
Eyes: Grey
I love this brush. I got it as part of their kit, so I can see how it may seem pricy if bought separately.
However, I love it so much!
It has never lost it's bristles (and I wash my brushes often), and it works well for other types of makeup too. Good for blending, and has held up well over the years.
Age: 25-29
Skin: Combination, Fair, Neutral
Hair: Brown, Wavy, Fine
Eyes: Brown
Not sure how else to describe this brush other than that it just plainly sucks. If anyone thinks this brush is even decent, they are definitely missing out on good quality brushes that you can buy for a fraction of the BE's cost, namely Ecotools. I do not understand who will actually buy this brush other than the fact that it just comes in a kit. I would NEVER buy this on a standalone basis. Worst brush I have ever used in my life.
Age: 19-24
Skin: Combination, Fair, Neutral
Hair: Brown, Wavy, Fine
Eyes: Green
This is odd to say, but I actually prefer brushes that have some form and are a little more sturdy, so I like that this isn't overly soft. (I hate floppy soft brushes. They're totally worthless in my opinion!)
I do not use this for all over powder, I use it as a bronzing brush. I find Kabuki brushes to be too big most the time and I end up bronzing most of my face rather than highlighting cheekbones and temples.
This works perfectly for this purpose. I love the shorter handle and shape. The price made me wince a little at 22$, but there definitly are more expensive brushes out there. Definitly in the minority here, but I like this brush!

Fighter Group: The 352nd Blue-Nosed Bastards in World War II
Item Description
Winner of the San Diego Book Award for History.
As described by award-winning author Jay A. Stout, the 352nd Fighter Group was one of the Eighth Air Force's most successful fighter units and counted history's two top-scoring P-51 aces among its ranks. This book--the most comprehensive work ever to cover the actions of a single USAAF fighter unit--details the air actions of not only the group's notable aces, but also the rank-and-file fliers who carried the bulk of the load. It describes the 352nd's activities from its formation at the close of 1942, its movement to England and its combat operations flying P-47s and P-51s against the Third Reich.
Although the book covers the unit's actions as a whole, it also follows several pilots in detail. Rich descriptions of tactics and equipment, personal reflections, letters home, amusing anecdotes and, of course, detailed descriptions of air combat. Not simply an award-winning historian, Stout draws from his own combat experience as a fighter pilot to make these discussions credible, interesting and real.
420+ pages, bibliography, index, end notes and two separate photo sections.
Jay A. Stout breaks new ground in World War II aviation history with this gripping account of one of the war's most highly decorated American fighter groups

I wondered this the other day, I hope Miss Kenton hasn't had a lot of storm damage from the last one, in Jersey. she had said that the new job would cut into her internet time a good bit when she started work and U of P. I think Beverly replied to a thread a few weeks ago but I cannot remember which thread it was. Maybe they will prairie dog now with this thread. I have seen Yen, Missjean and Pamestique post recently but none of the other ladies that are usually here.
Well, in checking their profile pages, Beverly last posted on 04 Dec 2012, so she is around here, Miss Kenton however, last posted on 18 November 2012, hmmmmmm, hope all is well for her and her husband. I remember that her son was to start USAF officer's candidate school as a navigator selectee.

But Congress passed the Pay Our Military Act to fund the military through the shutdown. Administration officials first stonewalled Congress' efforts for clarity on the issue, then the lawyers eventually determined that because the act didn't specifically include the word "benefits," they couldn't err on the side of helping grieving families.
In other words, when asked to make a judgment call, and knowing that Congress wanted the benefits paid, this administration still claimed its hands were tied by the fine print. Given how often the White House routinely ignores the plain meaning of the law -- and the will of Congress -- when it suits its political agenda, logic dictates that it denied the benefits on purpose.
Moreover, by its own account, the White House says it knew for weeks this would happen. During all the back-and-forth, the White House did nothing to remedy the situation. It only sprang into outraged action when suddenly faced with a PR nightmare.
"The president was very disturbed to learn of this problem," Carney told the press Wednesday. And once he did learn of it, Carney insisted, he ordered the Defense Department and the Office of Management and Budget to fix the problem "today."
When Fox News White House correspondent Ed Henry asked Carney when the president found out, Carney indignantly refused to answer. It's not hard to guess why: because the president either knew all along, or his underlings believed they were following his plan.
Let me say it again. The president confessed. It's his express policy to punish innocent bystanders in order to score partisan points. That order has gone forth like a fatwa to the bureaucracy. And it is only when that policy blows up in his face that Obama becomes "very disturbed."
When terrible things happened on George W. Bush's watch -- Katrina, Abu Ghraib, etc. -- the immediate liberal response was to insist that Bush had in fact ordered or wanted the terrible things to happen.
Now we have a president openly admitting it -- and no one seems to care.

Stinky feet? Try a shot of vodkaComment on this story
Forget costly shampoos - or a squeeze of lemon juice. Eva Herzigova says the secret to maintaining just-from-the-salon blonde hair is a bottle of vodka.
The 40-year-old Czech supermodel told Marie Claire magazine in France that she rinses her locks in vodka daily to lighten her blonde hair.
She's not alone. Housewives' remedies about the spirit's beauty benefits are legion. It is also said to cure dandruff when massaged in with a few sprigs of rosemary. Others recommend applying organic honey, onion juice and vodka to the scalp to stem hair loss.
Vodka can also be used as a mouthwash to freshen breath, and is said to help dry out cold sores. It has even been used as a cure for smelly feet. Simply rub each foot with a shot glass worth of the liquid to guarantee sweet-smelling socks.

Wallenda stunt near the Grand Canyon is broadcast live
LITTLE COLORADO RIVER GORGE, Ariz. Florida aerialist Nik Wallenda completed a tightrope walk that took him a quarter-mile over the Little Colorado River Gorge in northeastern Arizona on Sunday.
Wallenda performed the stunt on a 2-inch-thick steel cable, 1,500 feet above the river on the Navajo Nation near the Grand Canyon. He wasn't wearing a harness.
Wallenda took just more than 22 minutes, pausing and kneeling twice to get "the rhythm out of the rope" and murmuring prayers to Jesus almost constantly along the way. He stepped slow and steady, but jogged and hopped the last few steps.
The event was broadcast live on the Discovery Channel.
The 34-year-old Wallenda is a seventh-generation high-wire artist and is part of the famous "Flying Wallendas" circus family — a clan that is no stranger to death-defying feats.
His great-grandfather, Karl Wallenda, fell during a performance in Puerto Rico and died at the age of 73. Several other family members, including a cousin and an uncle, have perished while performing wire-walking stunts.
Sunday's stunt comes a year after he traversed Niagara Falls, earning a seventh Guinness world record.
Wallenda wore a microphone and two cameras, one looking down on the dry Little Colorado River bed and one facing straight ahead. His leather shoes with an elk-skin sole helped him keep a grip on the steel cable as he moved across.
Nik Wallenda, who was born a year after his great-grandfather died, began wire walking at the age of 2, on a 2-foot-high stretched rope. He grew up performing with his family and has dreamed of crossing the Grand Canyon since he was a teenager.
French high-wire walker Philippe Petit had that same desire and set up a cable above the Little Colorado River, but Navajo officials said he never went through with the stunt and left his equipment there only to be taken down recently by Wallenda's crew.
"I don't understand why he didn't," Wallenda said. "It's a site that works, makes sense. He clearly failed at it, so I want to do it successfully."
Petit didn't return messages left by The Associated Press.
Wallenda was highly confident in his ability to reach the other side, having walked in 52 mph wind gusts during Tropical Storm Andrea with a torrential downpour and training with wind machines that simulated 45-55 mph gusts. The only thing that would have stopped him entirely is lightning within a 15-mile radius, he said.

I know lots of you have already registered and like to wait until the later dates of delivery and that is great. Thanks for your interest.
For those who haven't, there may still be a chance to take this exam for free. Just visit my previous posting to get the registration details.
Hi Gerry
Apologies for posting an inappropriate comments, but I could find no other way to contact you.
Is there an email address for tip-offs regarding exam cheating, exam fraud, brain dumps etc? I mailed MCPHelp but all I got back was a canned reply asking for pages of information before they would look at the question.
SQL Server MVP
Hi Gail,
I usually turn off the Contact Me email option at the top of the page because some people like to abuse it.
I have turned it back on so that you can contact me directly and I will provide the information to the correct people.
Also, you can send this information directly to email@example.com and it will be investigated.
Thanks for passing this information along.
Hi Gerry, I would like to take the beta exam, is it still available? I failed to find it in the list in the prometric site.
Thanks for your help.
Hi Tatiana,
The post was made on Friday December 12, 2008 and indicated that the exam would end on Monday, meaning December 15.
The beta exam is over now.
Hi Gerry,
I am interested to take exams on MCAD for C# code - 70-315. this exam and some other exams in this series are going to be retired on 31st March 2009.
please assist me that could I apear for the exams after 31st March.as MCAD is the requirement for MCPD certifications.
Thanks in advance
Hi Abha,
70-315 will retire at the end of March 2009 as you have already read. There will be no opportunity to take this exam after that date. You MUST take it before that date.
There is no assistance to offer in this case, the date is set and the exam will not be available after that date.
You can check your local Prometric testing center to see if it is still listed and if so, take it then, but for all intents, it will be removed at the end of March.
I'm hoping to take Exam 70-505: TS: Microsoft .NET Framework 3.5, Windows Forms Application Development in a few weeks but there a couple of things that are puzzling me about the study guide at http://www.microsoft.com/learning/en/us/exams/70-505.aspx:
1. Firstly the exam still seems to be in development even though we are well past the publish date (10-Feb). Does this mean I can't take the exam yet?
2. There are 2 items in the guide that seem to be related to WPF:
a. Change the appearance of a UI element by using triggers. This objective may include but is not limited to: using multiple triggers; using property triggers; using event triggers; using data triggers
b. Install a Windows Presentation Foundation (WPF) browser application by using ClickOnce
Is this a mistake or are these topics really in the Windows Forms exam?
Hi Carl,
If you go to the Prometric site, you will see that you can register for 70-505 which means it is not in development but available. The web page you are referring to is in the process of being updated along with many others and the process is slow.
As for the WPF items listed, yes, they are a part of the exam. Because WPF applications can be hosted in Windows Forms applications, these items have been added as a way of starting a transition to WPF in the Windows developer exams.
I cannot book 70-505 on Prometric! It is listed in the list of exams, but regardless which testing center I choose (Zurich area, > 10 testing centers), the site keeps telling me that there are no exam dates available. For the other exams (70-503, 70-502, etc.), the site is working fine.
Is this an error on Prometric, or is the exam not yet available?
The exam is live and available. Have you tried calling Prometric to see what the issue is?

The Riddle of the Sands
1979 Directed by Tony Maylam
In these shifting sands, men can disappear without a trace . . . and their secrets with them.
In the early years of the 20th Century, two British yachtsmen (Michael York and Simon MacCorkindale) stumble upon a German plot to invade the east coast of England in a flotilla of specially designed barges. They set out to thwart this terrible scheme, but must outwit not only the cream of the German Navy, but the feared Kaiser Wilhelm himself.

Pre-WW1 mystery set as two English Men discover a plot to invade England.
Based on the book of the same name Michael York and Simon MacCorkindale star in this turn of the century naval espionage. Two chaps who know each other from Oxford try and find out what the evil Germans are up to off the coast of Hamburg.
The plot for this film provides an interesting snap shot into the pre World War One paranoia in Britain that was gradually growing based on increased German militarism but other than that it is not very impressive. There is little suspense or tension in the film and some of the German accents deployed are more suspect than the antagonists plots. In the end this is a fairly average "thriller" without many thrills really, probably a lot more cause for discussion at the time the novel was written in 1903.

Competence and scope of practice: ethics and professional development.
- DOI: 10.1002/jclp.20479
- PubMed: 18384117
In this article, I discuss the importance of the psychotherapist's capacities and attributes that go beyond formal education and training as they relate to both readiness for clinical training and continued competence throughout one's professional life. Professional development is essential to the maintenance of professional competence as a psychotherapist. Principles and standards from the American Psychological Association's (2002) Ethics Code are reviewed and illustrated with clinical vignettes. In striving to maintain competence, psychotherapists are strongly encouraged to focus on proactive self-care and professional development in addition to complying with the formal continuing education mandated by most states.

Essential Web Marketing Training for Small Businesses to be Provided Online from March 4-8, 2013
NORRISTOWN, Pa., Feb. 26, 2013 /PRNewswire via COMTEX/ -- Online business strategies have never been more essential for current and aspiring business owners. But in spite of the ease with which many business owners navigate the web, they often struggle to use web platforms such as WordPress to achieve their business goals. Fortunately, Marc Beneteau's WP Academy has risen to meet this need in the online business community by hosting a series of webinars to educate current and future business owners on essential WordPress web development, branding & web Marketing strategies.
) (Photo:

"WordPress for Business Virtual Summit" is also notable for being the first global conference to bring together WordPress enthusiasts who are also small business owners or self-employed. WP Academy Founder Marc Beneteau recognizes the need to provide educational resources to business owners in a way that fits in with their busy lifestyles. "All of the events in the week-long series will take place via webinar technology, giving virtual attendees access to free, highly relevant information from the comfort of their homes and offices," says Beneteau.

Creator: Patricia C. Wrede
Patricia C. Wrede is an American fantasy writer whose works include the Enchanted Forest Chronicles.Her other works include two series of Regency Fantasy (one beginning with Mairelon the Magician and the other, co-written with Caroline Stevermer, with Sorcery & Cecelia), and a series set in the world of Lyra, as well as a number of stand-alone novels (including The Seven Towers) and numerous short stories.
Works by Patricia C. Wrede with their own trope pages include:
- Enchanted Forest Chronicles series
- Frontier Magic series
- Lyra series
- Mairelon the Magician series
- Sorcery & Cecelia series
- Star Wars Episode III: Revenge of the Sith - She wrote a novelization of it, a "junior novelization" essentially, though not specifically labeled as such.
Other works by Patricia C. Wrede provide examples of:
- Beam-O-War: The Wizard Duel in The Seven Towers, with a twist: after watching for a while, the protagonist realises that the wizards aren't trying to push each others' beams away, but drag them closer. It's explained afterward that if one wizard succeeds in reeling in the other's beam, he is then able to drain his opponent's power.
- Cloudcuckoolander: Amberglas in The Seven Towers, although this is at least partly Obfuscating Stupidity. Her constant rambling digressions seem to be genuine, but she's much sharper (and more powerful) than she gives the impression of being, and frequently she has important things to say if you can sort them out from the nonsense.
- Curse: "The Sixty-Two Curses of Caliph Arenschadd" features a variety of imaginative examples.
- Family-Unfriendly Death: In "Cruel Sisters", as in the ballad it's based on.
- Fractured Fairy Tale: Several, including "The Cinders Case".
- Historical Fantasy: Several, including Snow White and Rose Red, an adaptation of the fairy tale of the same name.
- Perfectly Arranged Marriage: In The Seven Towers, Prince Eltiron's domineering father betroths him to Princess Crystalorn from a neighboring kingdom. Both characters are horrified by the idea, but once they meet and survive the book's plot together, they're much more in favour.
- Sense Freak: In "The Sixty-Two Curses of Caliph Arenschadd", people who are cursed to turn into wolves are immediately enthralled with the awesome sensations of hearing and smell.
- Twice Told Tale:
- Snow White and Rose Red, a novel-length retelling of "Snow-White and Rose-Red" which updates the setting to Elizabethan England and casts John Dee as the villain.
- "Cruel Sisters", a retelling of Child Ballad #10, "The Twa Sisters".
- "Stronger Than Death", retelling "Sleeping Beauty" gone wrong.
- Widow Witch: The Widow Arden in Snow White and Rose Red.
- Wizard Duel: In The Seven Towers.

28 guerrillas killed while fighting rebels
Hezbollah was pulled more deeply into Syria's civil war as 28 guerrillas from the Lebanese Shiite militant group were killed and dozens more wounded while fighting rebels, Syria activists said Monday.
The intense battle drove rebels from large parts of the town of Qusair, part of a withering government offensive aimed at securing a strategic land corridor from Damascus to the Mediterranean coast.
Hezbollah-affiliated hospitals in Lebanon urged blood donations through mosque loudspeakers and ambulances raced along the Damascus road in a stark indication of the group's increasingly prominent role in Syria.
The overt Hezbollah involvement — several funerals for group members were held Monday in Lebanon — edges the war further into a regional sectarian conflict pitting the Middle East's Iranian-backed Shiite axis against Sunnis.
It also raised tensions considerably in Lebanon, where Hezbollah has come under harsh criticism for its involvement in the civil war next door.
A staunch ally of Syrian President Bashar Assad, Hezbollah is heavily invested in the survival of the Damascus regime and is known to have sent fighters to aid government forces. The Iranian-backed group's growing role in the conflict also points to the deeply sectarian nature of the war in Syria, in which a rebellion driven by the country's Sunni majority seeks to overthrow a regime dominated by Assad's Alawite sect, an offshoot of Shiite Islam.
Clashes continued for the second day in the northern city of Tripoli, Lebanon, where Sunnis and Alawites battled in a direct spillover from the fighting in Qusair.
The Britain-based Syrian Observatory for Human Rights, which tracks Syria's civil war, said that more than 70 Hezbollah fighters have also been wounded in the fighting around Qusair.
The White House said President Barack Obama telephoned Lebanon's president and expressed concern about Hezbollah's "active and growing role in Syria, fighting on behalf of the Assad regime, which is counter to the Lebanese government's policies."
More than 70,000 people have been killed and several million displaced since the uprising against Assad erupted in March 2011 and escalated into a civil war.
In addition to the Hezbollah involvement, Iraqi Shiite fighters have for months trickled into Syria. Their relatives say they are drawn by a sense of religious duty to protect Shiite Muslim shrines in Syria.
Hezbollah leader Sheik Hassan Nasrallah said in a recent speech that his fighters had a duty to protect the shrines. He also claims that supporters of the group were fighting in Shiite villages near the Lebanon border against the rebels, saying it was in self-defense.

Revisiting Roundy's: Dividend Now In Play [View article]
1. Walmart/Woodman's stealing share in Wisconsin. Roundy's still has the #1 market share, but we think it's slipping.
2. The dividend probably isn't sustainable. We think it's a way for the private equity owners to extract more capital from the business. This money would also be better spent paying down debt/spending on store improvements.
However, the dividend isn't really part of our investment thesis.
SVU pointed to cutting prices at Jewel (Chicago-based) and that's because it's getting killed. The stores don't offer the same shopping experience as Treasure Island, Mariano's (RNDY), Potash Market, Whole Foods, Trader Joe's or even Dominick's. There's a very big opportunity in the Chicago market, and Mariano's has executed well thus far. Not long ago Mariano's attempted to raise prices, but it backfired, so about 2 weeks later, pricing returned to previous levels.
If you think Mariano's can win share in Chicago and the various Roundy's outlets in Wisconsin and Minnesota can defend share and post flat/slightly-up same-store sales numbers, then the story is very compelling. We think it can --but the dividend might get slashed in the next year or two which will likely hurt the stock in the near-term.

Sienna Miller, Kate Moss and Keira Knightley have all donated a pair of shoes to help raise money for charity.
The trio of beauties have given their beloved footwear to an auction for the Small Steps Project, an organisation which provides food and clothing for children who work on some of the world's biggest landfill sites.
Speaking about the Stefanel sandals she parted with for the cause, new mother Sienna said: ''These shoes were given with love. I loved dancing the night away in them and hope they can bring as much joy to someone else. It is a privilege to be able to donate to such a worthwhile charity.''
Gemma Arterton, Margherita Missoni and Joanna Lumley have also donated their heels, while Russell Brand, Will Ferrell and Ben Stiller have each handed over a pair of trainers.
Last year's successful inaugural auction, which raised over £20,000 and the 2012 auction will be held at Jalouse in London on October 11.

It is with a completely Broken heart that I have to say goodbye...
Due to spotting and HCG levels not rising as they should I had an abdominal and transvaginal ultrasound done yesterday. It showed the baby at 8wks 2 days (further along than I thought) we thought 6 wks. could see the heartbeat but couldn't get on the doppler...It also showed the Baby was Ectopic in my left tube by me ovary. They had me go directly from radiology to the ER and admitted me. Had to have surgery last night at 8pm to have the pregnancy terminated and my left tube taken out...procedure was done laporscopic so got to come home tonight...I am very sore and feel completely broken inside right now....I wish you all the BEST....Take care
It is with a completely Broken heart that I have to say goodbye...

MLC, I am truly sorry for your loss. I know everyone here also wishes you all the best as well.
I am so very, very sorry.
Loving every second of motherhood with my baby girl born on January 14th after 5 years of TTC!
I did a google to learn what the word Ectopic meant...in reading this, (A), it's good information for all of us to know, and (B), breaks my heart to know you went throught his. Thanks for letting us know, and wishing you a speedy physical as well as emotional recovery.
Ectopic Pregnancy
Ectopic means "out of place." In a normal pregnancy, the fertilized egg implants and develops in the uterus. In most ectopic pregnancies, the egg settles in the fallopian tubes. This is why ectopic pregnancies are commonly called "tubal pregnancies." The egg can also implant in the ovary, abdomen, or the cervix, so you also might see these referred to as cervical or abdominal pregnancies.
None of these areas has as much space or nurturing tissue as a uterus for a pregnancy to develop. As the fetus grows, it will eventually burst the organ that contains it. This can cause severe bleeding and endanger the mother's life. A classical ectopic pregnancy does not develop into a live birth.
Signs and Symptoms
Ectopic pregnancy can be difficult to diagnose because symptoms often mirror those of a normal early pregnancy. These can include missed periods, breast tenderness, nausea, vomiting, fatigue, or frequent urination.
The first warning signs of an ectopic pregnancy are often pain or vaginal bleeding. There might be pain in the pelvis, abdomen, or, even the shoulder or neck (if blood from a ruptured ectopic pregnancy builds up and irritates certain nerves). The pain can be mild or crampy early on, and can become sharp and stabbing. It may concentrate on one side of the pelvis.
Any of these additional symptoms can be seen with an ectopic pregnancy:
What Causes an Ectopic Pregnancy?
An ectopic pregnancy results from a fertilized egg's inability to work its way quickly enough down the fallopian tube into the uterus. An infection or inflammation of the tube might have partially or entirely blocked it. Pelvic inflammatory disease (PID), which can be caused by gonorrhea or chlamydia, is a common cause of blockage of the fallopian tube.
Endometriosis (when cells from the lining of the uterus implant and grow elsewhere in the body) or scar tissue from previous abdominal or fallopian surgeries can also cause blockages. More rarely, birth defects or abnormal growths can alter the shape of the tube and disrupt the egg's progress.
If you arrive in the emergency department complaining of abdominal pain, you'll likely be given a urine pregnancy test. Although these tests aren't sophisticated, they are fast — and speed can be crucial in treating ectopic pregnancy.
If you already know you're pregnant, or if the urine test comes back positive, you may have a quantitative hCG test. This blood test measures levels of the hormone human chorionic gonadotropin (hCG), which is produced by the placenta.
You may also have an ultrasound to look for a developing fetus in the uterus or elsewhere. Early in pregnancy, the ultrasound may be done using a wand-like device in your vagina. The doctor might give you a pelvic exam to locate the areas causing pain; to check for an enlarged, pregnant uterus; or to find any masses outside of the uterus.
Even with the best equipment, it's hard to see a pregnancy less than 5 weeks after the last menstrual period. If your doctor can't diagnose ectopic pregnancy but can't rule it out, he or she may ask you to return every few days for blood work and an ultrasound until it is clear whether or not there is an ectopic pregnancy.
Options for Treatment
Treatment of an ectopic pregnancy varies, depending on how medically stable the woman is and the size and location of the pregnancy.
An early ectopic pregnancy can sometimes be treated with an injection of methotrexate, which stops the growth of the embryo.
If the pregnancy is farther along, you'll likely need surgery to remove the abnormal pregnancy. In the past, this was a major operation, requiring a large incision across the pelvic area, and this can still be necessary in cases of emergency or extensive internal injury.
But sometimes ectopic tissue can be removed using laparoscopy, a less invasive surgical procedure. The surgeon makes small incisions in the lower abdomen and then inserts a tiny video camera and instruments through these incisions. The image from the camera is shown on a screen in the operating room, allowing the surgeon to see what's going on inside of your body without making large incisions. The ectopic tissue is then surgically removed and any damaged organs are repaired or removed.
Whatever your treatment, the doctor will want to see you regularly afterward to make sure your hCG levels return to zero. This may take several weeks. An elevated hCG could mean that some ectopic tissue was missed. This tissue may have to be removed using methotrexate or additional surgery.
What About Future Pregnancies?
Many women who have had an ectopic pregnancy will go on to have normal pregnancies in the future, but some will have difficulty becoming pregnant again. This difficulty is more common in women who also had fertility problems before the ectopic pregnancy. Your prognosis depends on your fertility before the ectopic pregnancy, as well as the extent of any damage incurred.
The likelihood of a repeat ectopic pregnancy increases with each subsequent ectopic pregnancy. Once you have had one ectopic pregnancy, you face an approximate 15% chance of having another.
Who's at Risk for an Ectopic Pregnancy?
While any woman can have an ectopic pregnancy, the risk is higher for women who are over 35 and those who have had:
Some birth control methods also can affect a woman's risk of ectopic pregnancy. Those who become pregnant while using an intrauterine device (IUD) might be more likely to have an ectopic pregnancy. Smoking and having multiple sexual partners also increase the risk of an ectopic pregnancy.
When to Call Your Doctor
If you believe you're at risk for an ectopic pregnancy, meet with your doctor to discuss your options before you become pregnant. You can help protect yourself against a future ectopic pregnancy by not smoking and by always using condoms when you're having sex but not trying to get pregnant. Condoms can protect against sexually transmitted infections (STDs) that can cause PID.
If you are pregnant and have any concerns about the pregnancy being ectopic, talk to your doctor — it's important to make sure it's detected early. You and your doctor might want to plan on checking your hormone levels or scheduling an early ultrasound to ensure that your pregnancy is developing normally.
Call your doctor immediately if you're pregnant and experiencing any pain, bleeding, or other symptoms of ectopic pregnancy. When it comes to detecting an ectopic pregnancy, the sooner it is found, the better.

Saying prayers for you. I had an ectopic Dec of 2011 and had my left tube removed. I was devistated. I am happy to say that there is light at the end of the tunnel and I am prego again and everything seems to be going great. Take care of yourself and know that it is ok to feel every sort of emotion right now!
I am so sorry for your loss, and wish you the very best. It must be very painful, but there is always sunshine after the rain. Hang in there <3.
My thoughts and prayers are with you... I am so sorry.
T + T + Lovebug = 3!
I'm so sorry that is the case. You must be very devastated. Praying for you as you and your loved ones get through this.

Pakistan is the melting pot of evil on the planet.
Its top nuclear scientist leaked secrets to Iran (and they did not prosecute him). Pakistan is the evil force behind thousands of civilian deaths over the years in India (Kashmir) and Afghanistan. It is proven now that the planning of the Nov 26 attacks (166 deaths including 23 westerners; several raped and murdered in cold blood) in Mumbai took place in Pakistan, with the involvement of Paki intelligence.
It's about time USA wakes up and realizes that it is supporting the wrong side (Pakistan) in the war on terror. USA should stop giving Evilstan financial and military support. USA needs to assert its right to flush out war-mongering Paki terrorists from the uncontrolled muck that Pakistan has become.
Pakistan is the only country in the world which is fighting against terror eyeball to eyeball. My hometown, Chakwal, with a population of only 100,000, is receiving a martyr from tribal region almost every day. We are proud of those martyrs. They die not just for us but for those who live in Mumbai, New York or London. I know Pakistan-bashing is easy based on all the bad press that we get. But I think understanding the issue better, and shouldering the Pakistani people at this time will get us better results.
Nadeem- what do you have to say about Paki Army's involvement in the Mumbai attacks? Pl spare India out of Paki compassion. We all know Pakis very existence is based on using Terror as a state policy.. you guys have been using that against India since getting bashed in '71 war..now US is at the receiving end of it..
Pakistan IS the terror center of this world, Pak Army and ISI trains, supports and equips the numerous terrorists and use to their benefit against India, Afghanistan and Western countries.
Nadeem - Please drop that India compassion, because Pakistan DOES NOT have any of that. Yours is a terrorist country and the earlier you accept the better.
This suspect is coming from Karachi,
If the so called intelligence people care about USofA,
they should very well understand the sharpest of the brains in the underworld, Dawood Ibrahim and ISI have headquarters in Karachi.
whebn are we going to wake up regarding pakistan's involvement in all terror attacks directly or indirectly.they use our aid to finance this .
Again and again, all terrorists lead to Pakistan. US decided to absolve Pakistan (Army, Intelligence and government) for its culpability in 9/11 attacks once Musharraf was forced to join US fight against terrorism under the threat of dire consequences by Richard Armitage in 2001. Afterall Pakistani government planned, facilitated and carried out 9/11 attacks to avenge US refusal to deliver F-16 jet fighters after Pakistan had already paid for them in 1990s.
But it did not mean that Pakistan severed all ties with the terrorists that Pakistan itself had created, nurtured, supported and sheltered.
On the contrary, Pakistani government and army continued its duplicitous game of 'running with the hares while hunting with the hounds'. And Uncle Sam willingly tolerated such duplicitous Pakistani game while throwing away billions of hard-earned US taxpayers' dollars in that terror center of the world.
So US has nobody to blame but itself for this recurring nightmare since Pakistan has unlimited supply of terrorists available in spite of arresting quite a few terrorists to please and milk US.
The ground reality is that USA has yet to admit openly that its policy of "Our Terrorism" vs "Your Terrorism" have failed. When Air India flight was hijacked to Kandhahar in 1999 it was termed as rivalry between arch rivals India and Pakistan. Even after 9/11 USA lost the opportunity to clean up the mess in Pakistan and Afghanistan....instead attacked Iraq. Now. that USA is realizing that terrorism is evil in its every form no matter who the victim is... it is already too late. It does not have the capacity/resources to invade and occupy Pakistan. So, all it can do is use those predator drones and pay the Pak govt to keep quiet which it cleans up the mess...
Let's not start india pakistan rivalry talk here as I know those emotions run high...instead of goind down that route and take everything back to separation...each country needs to understand the following:
Pakistan: Yes, we have a problem, not created by us but a lot of outside sources...this not a secret that India has forces on Pak borders from both sides, india, and afghanistan with its 10 "embassies"...US by bombing 100 innocents and killing 1 terrorist in afghanistan...all othter terror networks in the region find their way to Pakistan....we accept that...
India: Pakistan is a reality, ACCEPT IT! Whether you believe in its purpose of creation or not, its here to stay and whether we will take long to acheive that objective as a true islamic republic, that's our problem, not urs or any one elses....you protect urself form pakistan like u do from any other country...no one is asking u lower ur guard, but don't keep blaming the coutnry as a whole if a group who had lets say contact with one ex army guy, terrorizes india, that ISI was involved, it was a big army level plan....its both realization for India and Pakistan that we have to clean the region with terrorists form other parts of the region and new terrorists being born because of innocent being killed in afghanistan...as we know, each heir, brother, father, comes back to kill, u like it or not, if his loved ones were killed...he doesnt see if he is killing in pakistan india, or US...
USA and rest of the globe: Our actions are creating more terrorists than eliminating them...it is a fact that Pakistan has done the most and suffered the most in war of terror....we have suffered massive financial, economic, loss of life impacts than any other country in the world...fare more than afghanistan if you take financial and economical impact into picture...a drone kills few bad guys, 10-20 new bad guys are made who attached within months, or years...but dont think it stops here...the kids that are being born will come to kill us in 15-20 years....so basically its a cycle that has created for the next 30-50 years....suicide bomber takes one prson to plan but a whole nation to blame....which is unfair...
Hello All,
Let's not fool ourselves.
Based on what all religions say, truth always prevails.
India has categorically said since ages that Pakistan is the root cause, and I am surprised here
why a lot of tax payer money is wasted on Afghanistan whereas actually Pakistan is the one to be attacked.
Again all the culprits right now are hiding either in Saudi or the South Africa or the Far East.
First Americans should stop all the money laundering through hawala's that's the only way you are going to stop their life line.
There are so many agencies and small vendors across the globe that do the hawala transactions which should be neutralized right away.
I am amazed how Pakistan is able to fool the US.
American economy is dying please do not spend so much of money on Afghanistan but divert them to areas like POK where there could be possible hideouts.
As long as Pakistan is controlled by the ruling elite (the zamindars, the tribal chiefs, the established industrial families) there will be no resolution to the trumoil.
Pakistani's are cowards they cant revolt against their own leaders who torture them and deprive them of resources. But they are quick to score points by attacking the USA.
Those were the good old days. People like myself we left Pakistan (we hated the elite clans controlling all the resources and subjugating educated intelligent hardworking people like myself). We came to US and appreciated the opportunity to be free and to excel without outside help.
Destroying US does not make any sense. US is the last hope for down and out people around the globe (even in todays high opportunity countries like Japan, China, India and Brazil).
I am an ex-Pakistani and feel ashamed that the new comers have sold their soul to Satan. I am a Muslim and I can assure any other Muslims that you, under whatever halucination you live, will not succeed in destroying USA.
Down with tradition, Down with Burqa and down with blasting via loudspeakers a call to pray.
No Muslim, No Christian and no Jew is superior. Religion is simply a tradition and not to be taken too seriously unless you happen to be demented.
USA should not treat these AHoles with regular legal protections. How about bringing Shahzad's wife to US and selling her to a pimp? I think that would torture him.
TMK, Good that you left Pakistan, because that country is not for you as you do not understand the purpose of the creation of the state, since you yourself do not belong to any religion, please do not associate yourself with Islam or Pakistan....actually, not with any other religion...
To ALL - Why is it that when a "white" guy committs a terrorist act, his heritag is not the headline...like "An Irish tried to....' " An italian tried too"..."A Romanian tried to..." Arent we all immigrants..some 2nd, 3rd, 10th generation???
Islam teaches peace...Paksitan teaches peace...as said above, let's not jump to conclusions and blame an entire country and moreover religion based one person...do you guys even know how big Paksitan is..its bigger than each of the european countries, its population way more than most states combined and european countries....soo much diversity and ethnicities there...very un fair to lump all together because of actions of a few...
Even if this guy is accused, have you guys looked at your reactions? Its just a prosecution and we are talking about bombing the country, blaming the religion, torturing his family...what kind of civilised people are we? TMK, you say you came to this country for freedom and opportunity to excel...you have excelled to nothing...tomorrow you will die and you will find out, all your deeds will remain in this world only....
Lets treat this as a guy, even if accused, as ONE GUY...if a few people...lets treat as a FEW PEOPLE...not a country...as said above, so many outside regions have migrated there because of atrocities committed by our troops in afghanistan and India's troops in Kashmir...
And the fact that many, 90% of americans are unaware that many of the world cultures are different than ours...if there is a culture so strong there that if you kill my father, brother, sister, anyone in my family, i HAVE to, like a MUS Ttake revenge...then you cannot change that by kiilling a few....we have created more enemies...this might be that guy trying to take reveng trying to satisfy is inner self...whether wrong or right, he doesnt know he is killing americansor who on the street of times square...he will be killing Pakistanis, muslims wallking on the streets of times square...so needless to say his thinking is screwed up...so the root cause is not him, not pakistan, but deeper...the tradition clash with our actions in the regiohn....lets dwell on that
Indians are trying to copy Zionists now. They have adopted similar tough tones, harsh rhetoric, lots of name calling, even a fake Nov 26 event. Actually they have 2 since the Parliament attack didn't work. But Indian copycats are Indian, and cannot be Israeli. And Pakistan is not Gazza.
