The Treatment of Wife Assault
In the last chapter we showed that court-mandated treatment of wife assault was making an essential contribution to the criminal justice objective of reducing recidivism. Treatment, it was argued, provides a means through which repeat wife assaulters can learn alternative skills for conflict management, improve their ability to detect and express anger, and have the negative consequences of their violence made salient to them. This latter cognitive shift occurs through a direct therapeutic challenge to the cognitive mechanisms (e.g., minimizing, rationalizing, denying responsibility) that support reprehensible conduct (Bandura 1979). We described these mechanisms in Chapter 3, and in Chapter 4 we provided an empirical study that described how they are implemented by wife assaulters. We have argued that the didactic function of arrest may be to provide a major challenge or confrontation to these cognitive mechanisms. In this chapter, we will examine how therapy extends this process of reframing the assaulter's interpretation of anger-inducing events.
In order to devise a form of therapy to be used as a condition of probation for men convicted of wife assault, certain sets of requirements must be met. First, the therapeutic form will have to have a philosophical base that is compatible with criminal justice philosophy. If, for example, criminal justice philosophy emphasizes personal responsibility for action, a treatment philosophy with a similar orientation is recommended.
In some areas of human conduct, a division exists between legal philosophy (which stresses individual responsibility) and social science philosophy (which stresses situational determinism) (see Fincham and Jaspars 1980; Dutton 1981b). Social learning theory, while acknowledging the formative role of situational events in shaping habit patterns, nevertheless stresses choice and responsibility for individual action. The therapist,

HEBRON ESTATES - Riding a wonderful wave of momentum, the North Bullitt Eagles will enter the Class 4-A play-offs on Friday against Valley, the number three seed from District 4.
The Vikings are 4-6 this season and their four wins have come against four of the worst teams in the area. Still, this is a Viking squad that might be more impressive with the way they played in a handful of losses, particularly late in the season.
SHEPHERDSVILLE - It might be the first time in Bullitt County Public Schools' history where a live mascot has been permanently displayed on campus.
Shepherdsville Elementary, home of the Stingrays, now hosts two live teacup stingrays.
Principal David Pate purchased the new school pets through Feeders Supply.
The stingrays will swim in their own private aquarium located in the school's front office. Pate said the aquarium was donated via craigslist.
SHEPHERDSVILLE - The six Bullitt County cross-country teams will find out on Saturday just how much progress they have made this season as they roll into regional competition coming off perhaps the best overall season the sport has ever had locally.
Four of the six teams have chances of qualifying as a team for next week's Kentucky State Cross-Country Championships in Lexington. Even the back-up plan would have five of the six teams qualifying at least one individual for the big show.
HEBRON ESTATES - The North Bullitt Eagles have gotten a lot of attention over the second half of the 2010 football season because of a powerful running attack.
PIONEER VILLAGE - A Maryville Elementary student was praised by local police officers for his honesty.
Mark Wright received a congratulatory visit at school from Hillview Police Chief Glenn Caple after returning a police camera.
Wright discovered the camera near a wooded area by the school. He was practicing golf at the time with an after-school Boys Club program offered by PE instructor Dennis Minnis.
"I hit a golf ball and I went to get it and it was next to a camera," Wright said.
SHEPHERDSVILLE - Coming into the season, head coach Garry Polson felt his Old Mill Bengals were capable of winning the B division championship for the Greater Bullitt County Youth Football league.
Throughout the season, the Bengals did not disappoint.
Using a strong ground game and a stingy defense, the Bengals capped off an undefeated season by defeating cross-town rivals Mount Washington 19-8 on Saturday.
The Kentucky Transportation Cabinet Highway District 5 reports the following roadwork scheduled in Bullitt County for the week of November 1:
Bullitt County:
KY 1526 (John Harper Highway): Lane closures and delays possible between Blue Lick Road and KY 61 (mile points 11.7 and 12.9) for roadway resurfacing.
Jefferson County:
SHEPHERDSVILLE - As Stefanie Walls of Zappos Fulfillment Centers will tell you, a comfortable, stylish, new pair of shoes is essential for looking and feeling your best.
Unfortunately, during these tough economic times, it's difficult for many families to put food on the table and pay the mortgage, much less spend $50 on a pair of shoes.
SHEPHERDSVILLE - The Bullitt Central Cougars will have something to prove on Friday when they take on visiting South Oldham in the first-round of the Class 5-A play-offs.
First and foremost, the maroon and gray have to bounce back from a pair of losses that ended the regular season. The Cougars fell 52-7 to John Hardin and then dropped a 21-10 decision to North Bullitt last week. Bullitt Central also must prove that last season's 63-13 loss to Jeffersontown in the first-round of the play-offs was an anomaly.
MOUNT WASHINGTON - During the last regular meeting of the Mount Washington City Council, Councilman Dale Walter said he had received an anonymous letter alleging that Mayor Joetta Calhoun had given a city employee a salary increase of over $10,000 during the past year.
Walter said he had confirmed that indeed a city employee had received a substantial pay increase. He stated that the increase was excessive and he wanted to know where it came from.

Students explore the physical and psychological effect of stress and tension on human beings. They develop their observing, thinking, writing and teamwork skills by working on a group art project and reporting about it. They learn about the stages of group formation, group dynamics and team member roles that make for effective teams. In the process, they discover how collective action can foster a sense of community support, which can alleviate personal feelings of stress and tension. Note: The literacy activities for the Mechanics unit are based on physical themes that have broad application to our experience in the world — concepts of rhythm, balance, spin, gravity, levity, inertia, momentum, friction, stress and tension.

|A group of people who live, associate or communicate in the same area, and often share common ties, interests, goals and social rules.
|Government by the people; the principles of social equality and respect for the individual within a community.
|To make easy or easier.
|Understanding the relationships among people in groups and how groups begin, operate and end. (Source: LeadNet Library Database, Michigan State University Extension, http://web2.canr.msu.edu/leadnet/order/glossary.cfm)
|A body of officials organized into successive ranks or grades with each level subordinate to the one above.
|The process of acting on or with each other.
|Of, relating to, or produced by motion.
|To settle a dispute between two or more parties; to bring about an agreement, a settlement or a compromise.
|A figure of speech in which a word or phrase that ordinarily designates one thing is used to designate another, thus making an implicit comparison, as in "a sea of troubles" or "All the world's a stage." (Shakespeare)
|A very large image, such as a painting or enlarged photograph, applied directly to a wall or ceiling.
|Something worked toward or striven for; a goal.
|Cooperative effort by the members of a group or team to achieve a common goal.
- Stage 1: Forming — Team members are uncertain about the scope of their task and their responsibilities. They are dependent on the leader and busy with routines, such as who does what, when to meet, etc. Generally the team members avoid conflict at this stage. The leader directs.
- Stage 2: Storming — Conflicts emerge. Decisions do not come easily. There is a need to clarify roles and responsibilities. The leader coaches and mediates disputes.
- Stage 3: Norming — The scope of the task is now well-defined. Roles and responsibilities are clear. Having had their arguments, team members understand each other better and can appreciate each other's skills. They are more likely to listen to and support each other. The leader participates.
- Stage 4: Performing — Everyone knows and trusts each other enough to work independently. Roles and responsibilities shift easily according to need. Group morale is high and everyone is equally task-oriented and people-oriented. The energy of the group is fully focused on the task at hand. The leader delegates and stands aside.
- Stage 5: Adjourning — Team members feel good about their accomplishment and are glad to have been part of the group. This is a time for recognition so that individuals may consciously move on. Some members may feel a sense of loss as the team disbands.
- Task Roles — These roles are directed toward the task itself. On this project, these roles could include finding volunteers, fundraising, obtaining materials, making calculations, determining a location, design, construction, painting, reporting, etc.
- Functional Roles — These roles help the team achieve its functional goals and can include researching, planning, information seeking, opinion seeking, progress monitoring, clarifying, pushing decisions, acting as spokesperson for the group, troubleshooting, etc.
- Maintenance Roles — These roles help strengthen the team emotionally and can include encouraging, mediating, setting standards, listening, volunteering for other roles as needed.
- Dysfunctional Roles — Unfortunately, team members sometimes take on roles that interfere with the smooth functioning of the group. Be on the watch for dysfunctional roles such as being overly aggressive, blocking or nit-picking, back stabbing, seeking sympathy, disruptive clowning or joking, blaming, taking all the credit, dominating, and manipulating.
Safety Issues
- Students working on a construction project need to take the usual safety precautions, including wearing hardhats and goggles, as necessary. Mural painters need smocks, good ventilation and perhaps eye protection.
Troubleshooting Tips
- A good preliminary discussion on teamwork should mitigate team conflicts.
- Plan on one 50-minute class to introduce concepts, and additional time for the group project.
- Since internet resources in the References list sometimes disappear, for more project examples, search the Internet using search terms such as: mural project, painting mural, kinetic sculpture projects/presentations, kinetic devices, etc.
Pre-Activity Assessment
Activity Embedded Assessment
Post-Activity Assessment
- How are the physical forces of stress and strain similar and dissimilar to the physical and psychological stress and strain experienced by human beings? (Answer: Both are ultimately tests of strength, or how well something [or someone] will hold up under pressure. In the case of physical forces, a test of the strength of materials, structure or engineering design. In the case of people, a test of the strength of endurance, flexibility, teamwork, etc.)
- If an engineer was designing a bridge or the roof of your house, how would an understanding of the concepts of stress and strain apply to her/his work? (Possible answers: S/he would need to take into consideration the expected stresses and strains on the materials and structures [such as wind, rain or snow], and design a solution that is strong enough to be safe for a long period of time.)
- Describe examples of stress and strain in your own life. (Answers: Vary with students' experience.)
- How does good teamwork help alleviate stress and strain? (Possible answers: Strength in numbers [many people to complete a task within restraints as compared to one person doing it all], shared responsibilities, many ideas, many different talents, support of each other.)
Activity Extensions
- Paint an Earth Mural.
- Build a tepee.
- Build a garden tepee.
- Construct a kinetic sculpture.
- Construct and race a kinetic sculpture.
- Build an arch.
Activity Scaling
- The activity can be scaled through choice of project and degree of complexity, which can be adjusted. For example, the simplified version of a tepee or a garden tepee is not as complex as a Plains Indian-style tepee complete with smoke hole. A kinetic sculpture built to race on land and in water is more difficult to build than a standing sculpture. A mural can be small or large depending on the theme and project budget.

Research into nuclear weaponization may have been carried out clandestinely by the Revolutionary Guard.
Issues / War & Peace
Sorry John Kerry: Until negotiations are based not on U.S. support for Israeli power but on international law, the "peace process" will continue to fail.
The best thing the American Empire can do is prepare the world for its eventual collapse.
"The Act of Killing" sheds light on Indonesian mass killings that were even more uncalled for than most atrocities.
In the upcoming Israeli-Palestinian peace talks, the issue will be what it has always been: will there be an end to the Israeli occupation and an agreement on the borders of a Palestinian state?
Bear in mind, that's while also playing to the cheap seats: John Hagee's Christians United for Israel.
China's aggressive territorial claims, Washington's "pivot" to Asia, and Japan's hawkish bluster add up to a volatile brew in the Asia-Pacific.
Missile defense drives other states to build their nuclear-weapons arsenals, but depletes the United States's own missile stockpile because its inaccuracy necessitates launching a hail of interceptors.
Responding to a cyber attack with nuclear weapons, incredible as it sounds, may be "on the table."
As they rally against a planned military base on Henoko, the people of Okinawa need all the support they can get.

It's much easier to feel outraged about animal suffering when it's somebody else's fault and somebody else who needs to change their behaviour. Which is one of the reasons why this story has given renewed vigour to campaigns to remove religious exceptions to stunning and for mandatory CCTV in slaughterhouses.
Last week Europe's first conference on halal tourism took place in Granada, Spain. The brainchild of CM Media, the Halal Tourism Conference 2014 saw people from around the world gather to listen and learn about the Muslim market. Tourist boards, travel agents, tour operators, halal certification bodies and hotel managers made up most of the attendees.
Personal experiences of hipsters are a far cry from Williamsburg, New York but instead it was like watching pockets of East London being swallowed up by a swarm of skinny jean wearing, flat white drinking locusts. As preened men were dubbed "Metrosexuals" and "scallies" evolved into "Chavs"; in my circle "Indie" became "Hipster".
The recent anti-halal hysteria has nothing to do with the welfare of animals. It's just good old-fashioned Islamophobia. This is not to say that some people don't have sincere concerns about the way in which animals are slaughtered: they do. But these are not the people now jumping on the anti-halal bandwagon.
The debate surrounding both regulations upon halal slaughter and the sale of halal meat in commercial outlets is an important one. There are the legitimate concerns of various groups in the debate surrounding Halal meat in the UK, but these concerns were likely not at the root of The Sun and The Daily Mail's decision to report on the issue.

What Do Americans Pray for? Themselves. And Maybe a Sports Team
When Americans aren't busy praying for themselves or their own needs — and most of them are — many are seeking divine intervention on behalf of a favorite sports team or the golden ticket in the lottery, according to a new survey.
About 13 percent of Americans who pray say they pray for sports teams, compared with about one in five (21 percent) who say they have prayed to win the lottery, the new survey from LifeWay Research suggests.
A survey earlier this year from Public Religion Research Institute suggested that more Americans (26 percent) pray for their sports team, while more than seven in 10 (73 percent) say they have never done this.
Some of LifeWay's new survey's main findings include:

A Truly Memorable Safari Experience in Tanzania
We decided to contact Africa Safari Classics because their website (www.africasafariclassics.com) was easily available, the client comments were most positive, and the company was based in eastern Africa where we wanted to go. Maurice Nzwii, the very professional Sales Director of the company, recommended a custom-made safari in Tarangire, Ngorongoro, Serengeti, and Lake Manyara National Parks just for the two of us. Maurice was efficient during the entire planning stage of our trip. His tact and expediency in responding to our emails are truly commendable. Because our excellent guide Abdul knew all the back trails and places to find hard-to-see wildlife such as leopards, cheetahs, and rhinos, we felt privy to the entire parks. We highly recommend Africa Safari Classics.

The Two Princesses of Bamarre (original 2004; edition 2001)
by Gail Carson Levine
Work details
The Two Princesses of Bamarre by Gail Carson Levine (2004)
No current Talk conversations about this book.
I enjoyed this even more than I thought I would. It did get off to a slow start but the adventure was exciting and, in appropriate bits, funny. I loved the lonely lady dragon Vollys. It was neat that the sorcerers are a different race of being. The author showed special talent by writing a quasi-religious epic to give this world real depth.
A story about two sister princesses, one who is brave and one who is timid. the brave one gets sick and her timid sister has to save her. basically a story of overcoming ones fears. good for fourth grade and up.
The Two Princesses of Bamarre is another classic by Gail Carson Levine. In this tale, Levine takes from the plot of the 12 princesses and 12 princes to tell a story about 2 princesses and how they overcame their struggles. Princess Addie is the younger sister to Princess Meryl, a tough and adventurous, but also protective big sister. However, when Meryl gets the Grey Death, is it up to Princess Addie to find the cure and save her sister.
It started slow, the characters didn't interest me much at first. But thankfully it got better, good chara development, fast paced more adventure and a nice twist. 3/5
Good fairy tale story. Not as good as Ella Enchanted, but in my opinion better than most of Levine's other recent fairy tale stories. Younger readers will really enjoy.

Amazon.com Amazon.com Review (ISBN 006440966X, Paperback)After stealing the hearts of middle-grade girls with her delightful Newbery Honor-winning Cinderella retelling, Ella Enchanted, Gail Carson Levine here creates a fairy tale of her own and gives it a characteristic grrrl-power twist. Twelve-year-old Addie admires her older sister Meryl, who aspires to rid the kingdom of Bamarre of gryphons, specters, and ogres. Addie, on the other hand, is fearful even of spiders and depends on Meryl for courage and protection. Waving her sword Bloodbiter, the older girl declaims in the garden from the heroic epic of Drualt to a thrilled audience of Addie, their governess, and the young sorcerer Rhys. But when Meryl falls ill with the dreaded Gray Death, Addie must gather her courage and set off alone on a quest to find the cure and save her beloved sister. Addie takes the seven-league boots and magic spyglass left to her by her mother and the enchanted tablecloth and cloak given to her by Rhys--along with a shy declaration of his love. She prevails in encounters with tricky specters (spiders too) and outwits a wickedly personable dragon in adventures touched with romance and a bittersweet ending. Young fans of princess stories will gobble this one up. (Ages 10 to 14) --Patty Campbell
(retrieved from Amazon Thu, 12 Mar 2015 17:59:47 -0400)
With her adventurous sister, Meryl, suffering from the the Grey death meek and timid Princess Addie sets out to find a cure.

This was most excellent ! I made it as Rita~ did, partially cooking the potatoes, onions and garlic in the frying pan, then adding all other ingredients into a baking dish. I baked for 30 minutes in a 350 degree oven, and it came out just right. I should have added a bit more salt and pepper for our tastes, but this did not detract from the recipe. I will definitely make this again. Thanks for posting Dreamer! Made for ZWT8 - Spain/Portugal and the Herbaceous Curvaceous Honeys.
I used canned potatoes to cut down on cook time. I also used onion powder instead of the onion. Made for Gimmie 5 Tag
A good, light recipe. We felt like it was missing some spices but other than that we enjoyed it eaten with salsa. I liked how quick & easy it was & that it was all staple items. I cut the recipe down for two of us & used 4 whole eggs. Thanks for sharing, Dreamer! Made for ZWT 5 - Ali Baba's Babes.
I sauteed the onions, potatoes and garlic in a large pan with olive oil. Sprayed and oil on a pie dish. Placed the cooked potato mixture in the pie dish and topped with the egg mixture which I added fresh chives and parsley. Baked in a 350 oven for minutes. I opted for this method because the amount of potatoes and eggs make it hard to flip this making it very easy and prettier. I rated this 5 stars for flavor but more so because of the Nutrition Facts.
a yummy omelet. I did make the mistake of scaling it down but used a HUGE potato so my picture doesn't look very "omelety" or even fritattay. the taste was great though!
This was very good. I made it for dinner the other night and the whole family loved it. My kids ate it with ketchup and I ate it with salsa. I did have a hard time flipping it and ended up cutting it in fours and flipping it that way, but it turned out very good. Thanks for posting!

This article originally appeared in The Inquirer
Liberia has again made a giant stride in addressing the issue of newborn infection and prematurity which contribute significantly to newborn deaths in the country with the approval of 7.1% Clorhexidine Digluconate (4% free chlorhexidine) for cord care and the National Guideline on Kangaroo Mother Care for the care of preterm babies.
The Liberian Government through the Health Ministry announced its approval yesterday at the head offices of the Ministry in Congo Town with the aim of fighting maternal mortality across the country.
Chlorhexidine Digluconate, or CHX is a treatment of the umbilical cord commonly known as 'navel string' and it is an antiseptic, which studies showed is an effective intervention against umbilical cord infections. Its bacterial fighting potential is even more successful if CHX is applied on and around the cord on the first day of life.
The National Implementation Guideline for Kangaroo Mother Care, or KMC in the country Kangaroo Mother Care as a practice wherein newborns especially premature babies are held skin-to-skin with an adult, either the mother or the father. The practice, as the name denotes, comes from the way certain mammals, like kangaroos carry their young. KMC was developed to care for premature babies in areas where incubators are unavailable or unreliable.
Speaking to reporters during the official approval release of the policy, the Assistant Minister and Deputy Chief Medical Officer Saye Dahn Baawo said that number represents a greater portion of neonatal deaths in high mortality rate settings like Liberia, where 27 percent of neonatal deaths is due to newborn infection.
Dr. Baawo explained how research has proven that the newly cut umbilical cord is a common entry point for bacteria that cause newborn infection and death and in Liberia, like many countries, potentially harmful substances like herbal mixture, talc, ash and mud are still being used in cord care despite public health programs promoting "dry cord care".
He said some people use Maggie cube and a local leaf referred to as everlasting leave to heal the umbilical cord in newborns whereas using Chiorhexidine for cleaning navel string has been found to significantly reduce newborn death risks by 23 percent.
The research also shows that over three-million newborns die globally each year and the infection is the cause of approximately 13 percent of these deaths.
It is also revealed that globally, some 15 million babies are born too early before their normal nine months birth and that 60 percent of such births occur in South Asia and sub-Saharan Africa. Prematurity is the leading cause of newborn deaths with over a million children dying with associated complications. After pneumonia, it is the second leading cause of death in children under five worldwide.
In Liberia, the premature birth rate is estimated to be 14% with a total number of 21,760 babies born preterm yearly. Of the estimated 4,290 neonatal deaths every year, death due to preterm birth complications represents 33% (1,450) of all neonatal deaths.
With the KMC practice, over 75% of deaths from preterm birth complications have been shown to be prevented without the availability of neonatal intensive care.
Saving premature babies is now feasible with cost effective care as Kangaroo Mother Care is an effective way to meet baby's needs for warmth, breastfeeding, protection from infection, stimulation, safety and love. It is one of the evidence-based and cost-effective interventions that will contribute to the reduction of neonatal mortality. It is less labour intensive and requires few/limited resources than conventional care, hence financially and economically feasible.
Meanwhile, the KMC came about due to the over crowdedness at a hospital and the lack of caregivers and resources in Colombia in 1978. It was discovered that mothers in continuous skin-to-skin contact with their low birth weight babies as a means of keeping such babies warm could reduce death rates in newborns. The programme actually started in 1979 in response to shortage of incubators and severe hospital infections in the Colombian Capital of Bogata.
The practice is said to promote parental attachment and confidence and boosts breast milk production. Studies also show that it normalizes temperature, heart rate, and respiratory rate in preterm and low weight babies.

The HC32W straight cymbal stand from Tama is made with 25.4mm-diameter base section tubing, and features double-braced legs.
The M8 threaded rod is also thicker to withstand the hardest hitters. A new round-shaped Cymbal Mate can be spun easily with just a flick of the finger, but thanks to non-threaded sections on both the tilter and the Cymbal Mate, the Cymbal mate won't spin off the top of the tilter during normal play. You can choose two Cymbal Mate positions for ride or China cymbals for a looser or tighter fit.
Are cymbal stands just for supporting cymbals? Tama thinks that cymbal stands are also musical instruments. All Tama cymbal stands in the Roadpro and Swingstar lineups were designed with the elimination of stand noise a top priority. A special rubber cap at the end of the upper tube eliminates swaying and rattling, and a special nylon sleeve underneath the die-cast joint of the base section further reduces swaying.
The cymbal bottom protects the cymbal's center hole from the tilter's shaft and threads. If part of the nylon sleeve wears out, you can continue to use the cymbal bottom by turning it upside down.
Typically Tama in its superior design and performance features.

Comments about Tama Stage Master Double-Braced Straight Cymbal Stand:
this stand holds my ride just fine. it has good secure adjustments and works good. all you need it to do is hold the cymbal effectively and sturdily. it does that. you can spend more money and get a stand that will do the same thing. in my view this is not the cheapest stand like pdp and others, but rather is the middle line of quality. definitely better than the cheapest stuff. I do recommend this stand. tama makes good stuff. I also have 2 tama booms and they work well too.

Comments about Tama Stage Master Double-Braced Straight Cymbal Stand:
This is the only doubled-braced cymbal stand you'll ever need to buy. It easily holds its own when paired up to its Roadpro bigger brother. I'm personally a minimalist when it comes to drum gear, so this is a perfect option for me. It's lighter and more portable than most other double-braced cymbal stands, yet is able to hold the heaviest of cymbals. When it comes to quality, performance, and value, you really can't go wrong with this one.

When you decide to ask your surgeon for a tummy tuck, you need to know some more details about this procedure. Even if it is very common these days, the abdominoplasty is actually a serious medical intervention, and most of the times it is done for an aesthetic reason.
Deciding for this is not an easy task, and you need to be fully informed to go for this. Here are some questions that you need to ask your plastic surgeon, before choosing one of them.
Question 1 – Are you specially trained?
This is one of the most important questions that can be asked, because not all the surgeons are specially trained in aesthetic surgery. To be able to make such a procedure like a tummy tuck, the surgeon needs to have special knowledge, because this is different than a usual surgery.
Question 2 – How many years of training have you taken?
This is another important question that you need to ask, because it will show you how much experience the surgeon has. There are certain specializations that vary in length from one to a few years – the more years the training took, the better it is. A highly trained plastic surgeon is the best, because he or she has both the skills and the needed knowledge.
Question 3 – Is it OK for me to have this surgery?
Any people ask for one type of surgery, even if they don't necessarily need it. On the other hand, there are also some people who do need a certain surgery, but they are not sure about what. For example – you might need a simple abdominoplasty, even if you ask for an extended abdominoplasty. A good surgeon will be able to point you in the right direction and explain which is the difference between what you ask and what you actually need.
Question 4 – What are the recommendations?
For every medical procedure, even if it is aesthetic or not, there are certain recommendations that the patient needs to follow. For example, you need to be careful about the medication you usually take – for before the procedure. After the surgery, you also need to be careful about diet and exercising, because this can affect the overall effect of the surgery. A good surgeon will be able to give you proper recommendations for both of these periods – before and after the surgery.
Question 5 – How is the procedure?
Before deciding, the doctor needs to explain you how the procedure will take place. You need to know every step of the procedure, as this will keep you informed and updated about what exactly takes place during the surgery. It's not uncommon for some plastic surgeons to say that it's an easy procedure (no matter what you ask for), but you need to insist to know all the details – what will they do and how will they do it.
Question 6 – How about complications?
As any medical intervention, a tummy tuck has its own risks. The risks are minimal when the post-surgery recommendations are being followed, but you still need to know them. For example – in some cases, there can appear blood clots or infections. Any of these can be easily prevented by both the doctor and the patient, but you still need to know about them, even if they are rare.
Question 7 – What is the recovery period?
Usually, the answer will be different from patient to patient. This is because each patient is different and each person has his own medical history. One patient can recover in one month, while another patient can recover in 2 or 3 months. There are many factors that need to be taken into consideration, so you don't need to worry if in your case there can be a longer recovery period.
Some say it's an easy surgery, while others sustain the contrary. No matter how you feel, to take a decision about this, you need to be thoroughly informed, so ask your doctor as many questions as you can.
Give us a call at Northshore and we'll tell you everything you need to know!

As you may have read here (or experienced for yourself), lots of AMD-based Windows XP PCs updated to SP2 or SP3 have failed with Blue Screen of Death (BSOD) STOP errors and reboots after the update.
What went wrong? An affected system has an original OEM-provided Windows image that was configured for an Intel processor, and the modifications made by the OEM to load the image on an AMD-based system were undone by the upgrade to SP2 or SP3.
Now, there's a solution straight from Microsoft. Download it from KB953356 .

'Dating Doctor' to host fifth Falcon Film Festival
The "Dating Doctor" will make a house call Saturday (Feb. 28) at the BGSU Falcon Film Festival.
Alumnus David Coleman, who has earned his nickname as an author, speaker and media personality, will emcee the fifth annual festival.
The free, public event will be held in 101 Olscamp Hall, where the doors will open at 6 p.m. and eight films by BGSU students will be shown from 7-9 p.m. Nearly 500 seats will be available on a first-come, first-served basis.
Coleman received a bachelor's degree in speech pathology and audiology in 1983 and a master's degree in college student personnel in 1985, both from Bowling Green. He is the author of 101 Great Dates, Date Smart! and, most recently, Making Relationships Matter, which has entered its second printing run. His writing also includes a story in the national best seller, Chicken Soup for the College Soul.
Honored by BGSU as a Distinguished Alumnus, Coleman has also been named National Speaker of the Year eight times by Campus Activities Magazine and three times by the National Association for Campus Activities. He has been featured in a number of magazines and newspapers, including Us, Glamour, Cosmopolitan, USA Today, the Wall Street Journal, the Washington Post and the New York Times, and has appeared on the major television networks and numerous radio stations nationwide.
Coleman will introduce the featured films at Saturday's festival. Filmed and edited during the first month of spring semester, the eight movies are five-to-eight-minute glimpses of the student filmmakers' experience at BGSU. They have been judged as the best among 21 submitted by teams of four or five students each—the most student participation in the event's five years.
In addition to team members and actors, 25 students will volunteer their time to help with the event, according to Michael Hachtel, developer/report writer in BGSU's Office of Residence Life and co-chair of the festival steering committee. "In all, we are looking at over 200 people (participants, volunteers, faculty, staff, alumni and community members) who have contributed to the success of this program," he said.
The committee reviewed the entries to ensure they followed the prescribed rules—no content beyond what would get a PG rating, for instance—and sent those that did to the five judges who picked the winners, along with a Best Actor and Best Actress.
Those judges were Michael Griffel, director of residence life; Emmanual Guillory, president of Graduate Student Senate; Jeff Nelson, director of the University Bookstore; Joseph Oravecz, associate vice president for student affairs, and BGSU graduate Tom Hofbauer, a Toledo-based, independent filmmaker whose work includes the award-winning "In the Company of Strangers."
Each member of the first-place film's production team will receive a Nintendo Wii and a $100 gift card to Best Buy. All members of the runner-up team get a $250 gift card to their choice of Kroger, Meijer or Wal-Mart, and a $100 iTunes gift card goes to everyone in the third-place group. The Best Actor and Best Actress will each receive a $100 gift card to the Woodland Mall.
Audience members can also win at the festival, which will offer raffle prizes.
The BGSU offices of the Chief Information Officer and Residence Life are primary contributors to the event. Sponsors are the Student Technology Center, BG Experience program, Residential Computing Connection, University Bookstore and Resident Student Association, which will air the films on campus cable station WRSA after the festival. Kim Fleshman, program coordinator at the Student Technology Center, is the other steering committee co-chair.
For more information about the festival, visit www.bgsu.edu/falconfilmfest. The top two films from each of the last four years can be seen at the site.

What do you think about this product?
Have questions about this product?
Kelty Lightyear +25 and +45
Just used my two new sleeping bags for the first time one week ago. I like to sleep cold and my lady friend likes to be warm so she used the +25 and I used the +45. Both of us slept on 1.5 inch self-inflating matresses (Pacific Outdoors full-length and Thermarest 3/4) in a Big Agnes SL2. Temperature was reported at 38 degrees F. We both froze our butts off. Are these ratings for these bags "comfort" or "survival,i.e. you won't freeze to death".
The next night we slept with long johns, socks, and beanies. Luckily it warmed and was only uncomfortable for 1 hour.
To be fair we are from Florida. If you're from Canada you might be happy with these ratings but I will add 15-20 degrees to these ratings.
Kelty 3D 25 Syn
It has been great so far. Light, just enough leg room, and warm. Color isn't great, but who cares about the color. Well designed bag.
Not bad, but not a 25-degree bag
I(male)have slept in a Kelty Light Year 3D about 20 nights in the past year in Gulf Coast weather ranging from hot and sticky to sub-freezing and dry. It should more appropriately be rated a 40-degree bag. Don't get me wrong. It's a great super light synthetic "second bag" for moderate temps, but not lofty enough for a truly cold night, even with clothes on. Get a good 800-900 fill goose down bag for those cold nights you don't want to wake up chilled to the bone.
Mmm Mm Good
This sleeping bag definitely kept me warm to its rated temperature. However, at first I hadn't cinched the drawstring around my head real tight so I was losing a lot of heat. But, when everything is properly tightened up it was most comfortable. Also, a very light sleeping bag so its excellent for backpacking. I would recommend this to any 3-season backpacker.
Good bag
First time I used it, I got it wet but it was still warm. It dried out without odor. It was not toasty warm when the outside temp was about 40F, and I slept with no pad, just three layers of tarp on the ground. It was tolerable, and a lot warmer than my old summer bag. I really like the light weight.
Great Bag!
This Kelty bag was the 3rd one that I tried this season, and it's definitely a keeper. It's warm and roomy and packs light for backpacking. The 25F rating is right on, but don't think it will keep you warm at temps any cooler. It's definitely a 3-season bag. It's a high quality bag and also looks pretty sharp when it's unrolled in your tent. I highly recommend!

The significant issues faced by leaders of small and midsize enterprises (SMEs) reflect the growth of their businesses—both past and future. To nurture a successful business from the ground up, the owner of a small or midsize enterprise must be aware of what is going on in the organization. As the business expands, its functions must scale (in marketing, sales, operations, and manufacturing), staff skills must improve, and effectiveness must increase. Maintaining a constant awareness of all the moving parts becomes more difficult as the business organizes around functional or departmental needs.
By delivering actionable knowledge to the right individual within the appropriate window of opportunity, business intelligence (BI) techniques and tools help the user visualize the way the business is run, envision the right changes for organizational advantage, and provide continuous insight into how the company and its stakeholders meet defined corporate goals.
This TDWI Checklist Report describes the fundamental aspects of BI that are necessary to help small and midsize enterprises achieve scalability by revealing new business opportunities, enabling rapid response to emerging issues, and continuously monitoring business success.

Hilleberg Tents
About: Hilleberg Tents
The best products are those which are created out of love. This might not be the sole reason that Hilleberg is one of the undisputed leaders in the world of mountaineering and camping tents, but it undoubtedly plays a role. For decades, Hilleberg have been producing first-class tents built for those who value their time in the backcountry, seeking to focus on innovative design working in concert with first-class build quality. To say it's worked well would be an understatement – the Hilleberg name is synonymous with premium camping materials, due in part to their commitment to keeping their family-built brand just that – a family.
It was back in 1971 when Bo Hilleberg decided to create his own company in the form of Hilleberg AB. It was this very year that Bo would meet his future wife, with her being the missing component that help the Hilleberg brand proceed full steam ahead. With Bo able to focus on design and the business side of things, his wife handled the sewing, a true mom and pop operation. Their ability to make a killer team help embolden their brand, and the growth came naturally.
Hilleberg tents have the principles you look for in any tent maker: A strive for excellence, reliability, ease of use, highlighting versatility, durability and comfort. Hilleberg builds their tents under the impression that you'll ready and willing to submit them to the harshest elements. That's what Bo Hilleberg faced, and he and his family still mind the store to ensure their brand meets the stringent standards that have always been the underlying backbone of their brand. Every situation demands a solution, and your cold weather travels have theirs in spades. Be sure to have the outstanding outdoor sleeping experience you've always wanted, thanks to the drive and quality inherent to Hilleberg.
