Love the Earth
I want to be an Ecokid so that I can protect the environment from the pollution of the cars because we are destroying our world. People if we cut the plant and the grass is like if we are killing someone very important. Because we are killing a piece of land where children can have fun. We will not be able to respire good air if we live in garbage. Because we have no air people we need to discontinue the chemical in the water.

Huntington disease is a disorder in which nerve cells in certain parts of the brain waste away, or degenerate. The disease is passed down through families.
Huntington chorea
Huntington disease is caused by a genetic defect on chromosome 4. The defect causes a part of DNA, called a CAG repeat, to occur many more times than it is supposed to. Normally, this section of DNA is repeated 10 to 28 times. But in persons with Huntington disease, it is repeated 36 to 120 times.
As the gene is passed down through families, the number of repeats tend to get larger. The larger the number of repeats, the higher your chance of developing symptoms at an earlier age. Therefore, as the disease is passed along in families, symptoms develop at younger and younger ages.
There are two forms of Huntington disease.
If one of your parents has Huntington disease, you have a 50% chance of getting the gene. If you get the gene from both your parents, you will develop the disease at some point in your life. You will also pass it on to your children. If you do not get the gene from your parents, you cannot pass the gene on to your children.
Behavior changes may occur before movement problems, and can include:
Abnormal and unusual movements include:
Dementia that slowly gets worse, including:
Additional symptoms that may be associated with this disease:
Symptoms in children:
The doctor will perform a physical exam and may ask about the patient's family history and symptoms. An exam of the nervous system will also be done. The doctor may see signs of:
Other tests that may show signs of Huntington disease include:
Genetic testing is available to determine whether a person carries the gene for Huntington disease.
There is no cure for Huntington disease. There is no known way to stop the disease from getting worse. The goal of treatment is to slow the symptoms and help the person function for as long as possible.
Medicines can be prescribed, depending on the symptoms.
Depression and suicide are common among persons with Huntington disease. It is important for caregivers to monitor for symptoms and seek medical help for the person right away.
As the disease progresses, the person will need assistance and supervision, and may eventually need 24-hour care.
Huntington Disease Society of America - www.hdsa.org
Huntington disease causes disability that gets worse over time. Persons with this disease usually die within 15 to 20 years. The cause of death is often infection. Suicide is also common.
It is important to realize that the disease affects everyone differently. The number of CAG repeats may determine the severity of symptoms. Persons with few repeats may have mild abnormal movements later in life and slow disease progression. Those with a large number of repeats may be severely affected at a young age.
Call your health care provider if you or a family member develops symptoms of this disorder.
Genetic counseling is advised if there is a family history of Huntington disease. Experts also recommend genetic counseling for couples with a family history of this disease who are considering having children.

BUCKNER – Fishermen have a better chance of landing the big one in the Wendell Moore Park Lake thanks to a new fishing dock.
The dock, which stretches 50-feet out into the lake, ends a 30-foot wide T and allows improved access to the water on the 20 plus acre lake. The lake has limited access along a sometimes steep shoreline and since half the lake is not available due to the shoreline being on the grounds of the Kentucky State Reformatory.

Water Fight

Senior Fellow Randy T. Simmons, co-editor of Aquanomics, looks at the battles over water in the western United States. Thirsty citizens of growing cities, farmers, factories and environmentalists are in a fight for a natural resource that is priced arbitrarily. Its value is determined not by the free market, but by bureaucrats. Outdated government reclamation projects and water policies have put residents of the Golden State at the mercy of the weather, and of government's mandatory regulations.

Four families were forever changed on the night of May 12, 2012 when Gilbert Sanchez made the decision to drink and drive.
Members from each family spoke in court Friday as Sanchez prepared for his sentence. The families of the three girls he killed when he plowed into their vehicle at over 100 mph, who told an emotional courtroom that their broken hearts would never heal. Relatives of the man who will now spend almost 70 years behind bars, who shared their devastation for Sanchez's four children, who would now grow up without a father.
And Sanchez himself, who took the stand for the first time Friday. He cried as he read a statement to the families of the victims, apologizing for what he did.
"I'm devastated for the families, I tore everybody up, and I feel like the worst person on Earth," he said.
Our reporter in the courtroom said there was not a dry eye in the room during the court proceedings.
Sanchez was sentenced to 68 years for the deaths of 18-year-old Anisa Montoya, 14-year-old Serena Sena and 14-year-old Selena Mascarenas. The girls were on their way back to Alamosa from Pueblo when authorities say their car was hit by Gilbert Sanchez's full-sized Dodge truck. Investigators say Sanchez was drunk and driving at more than 100 mph when he collided with the girls' vehicle. The girls died at the scene, while two teen passengers riding with Sanchez were ejected in the collision and seriously injured.
Read more about the crash here.
Sanchez, 37, was charged with multiple counts of vehicular homicide and vehicular assault.
The victims' families said Friday that they hoped Sanchez's punishment would send a message to all people who make the decision to drink and get behind the wheel.

Starring Kristen Wiig and Maya Rudolph. Kristen also co-wrote the film with her friend Annie Mumolo. She is super woman!
A funny movie with funny ladies that covers the delicate dynamics of girlfriends.
My take:
Awesome. I hate how they are marketing this movie as the 'Hangover,' but with ladies. They are getting ready for a wedding, and there is raunchy humor, but Bridesmaids is so much more! I was pleasantly surprised to find that there was a solid plot and some very real/true moments about women friendships. I will say it again…women friendships are complicated!
Look out for:
Melissa McCarty. You might remember her as Lauren Graham's friend Sookie from Gilmore Girls. Every friend I have talked to has said, "She stole the movie!" I love her.
You will like it if:
1. You are a man or a woman – guys this is not a sappy girl power "chick flick." It is just a good movie
2. You love Kristen Wiig on SNL
3. You are a woman who has at any point in her life felt a little left behind in "life."
4. You like funny movies
Would I go with my mom:
Warning: The first 5 minutes are raunchy. I called my mother and warned her…there is language…and sex, but I told her to please look past and enjoy the movie. My mother loved it, but as expected she did not like the dirty language or the "raunchiness." She did say there were a lot of "real" moments.
Will I buy it?
I will see again in theaters…and buy it the DAY it is out!

That fabric is so fun. Can't wait to see what you come up with! So glad to have found your blog. I need to make another table runner for fall.
Kris says
I love the fabric! Are you going to enter it in the GenX contest?
Bea Lippott says
Amy, I completely understand that. You do have such a wonderful blog and your quilts are BEAUTIFUL.
Jackie says
Amy, I have missed so many of your blog posts and just went back and read through! You have been up to so much and have had some beautiful posts. I can totally understand the need to make dinner and put family as a priority. Looking forward to seeing your Halloween quilt!
Kate says
I would be sad if you quit blogging. I try to keep it real on my blog–but then I think, do people really want to hear how I spilled an entire jar of peppercorns while making soup this week, and then the next day through out some of the broth because it had gelatinized more than normal and I thought it was fat? Ha! I figure people undo their seams as often as I do, and then try to just appreciate
Anna says
🙂 just wanted to say hang in there. I feel like I'm in the same boat lately. It's hard to keep up with everyday life and sew/blog on top of that. Just be true to yourself and sew the things you want to sew because you love it.
tracy_a says
Aw – sorry you have been a little in the dumps – I love your blog and your quilt aesthetic and all that you share!
Brittany says
You shouldn't feel like you do about your blog! I'm a lurker but I read every post you publish and I love your tutorials. I have made your tablerunner and plan to make a few more of your things. Keep bloging!

angela says
I love that collection you have! I'm sure the kids would love a Halloween quilt as much as you!
Zany Quilter says
I think we all feel like you do…especially if we aren't professional photographers, and our pics look sort of slopppy, the lighting isn't right, or we aren't as funny as we'd like to be. But it is so much fun seeing what you are working on…and I don't think anyone expects a response to their comments ;-D Keep it up…
DeeRoo says
Hey Kiddo…You are a great wife, mama, daughter, sister, auntie, friend and that all comes first… you don't have to feel obligated to us at all!;) If you just post a couple of times a month we would all still be here and excited to hear from you..no worries!

dubb and dawni says

Anonymous says
I love your blog and look forward to each new post. Your work is very inspiring, especially to a new quilter like me. Thanks for sharing!
bethanndodd says
Really, I would like to say "thank you" to you for inspiring me. I have been looking at everyone else's blog for 2 years now and it's because of you (and lots of other wonderful women) that I decided to start my own blog. My hope is give a little back (either to all of you pros out there or to the newbies). Keep up the great work and don't ever be afraid to pat yourself
Layne Bushell says
amy, I don't know you personally, but I feel like I do. Been reading your blog now for several months. I have it up on my sidebar! I think you are one of the most amazing teachers and your eye for color is truly a gift. I drool over what you put together. Thank you for sharing your talents!
Gari says
Every once in a while I am really intimidated by some of the great quilting that is done by others. But then I have a day like today. Finished quilting a quilt and I am doing so much better than I was and I am not ashamed of what I can do. So even though I will probably never be an "excellent" quilter, I really like what I am doing.
StrawberryBlond says
What is that fabric that is second from the bottom? The dark orange with smiling jack-o-lanterns? I'm in love with it and would like to know the manufacturer or whatever so I can find some for myself!

I need to make a Halloween quilt too…someday!
Amelia says
Your blog is so wonderful Amy! Thank you for all you have taught me through your posts!!
As well as time for the family … I hope you get a little time for yourself 🙂
Debbie says
Amy,

love your blog! read it often! It has helped me as I am a beginner! you help many of us and we appreciate it. Sometimes things dont fall into place but we are all behind you. thank you for all the hard work to keep up this blog!
nikki says
i'll add my appreciation as well. i've made several of the diaper clutches and nursing covers, and am following your advice religiously on the quilt-along series. it's perfect timing and i'm so grateful for your online quilting class. but we most definitely want you and your family to eat and have time together. 🙂 thanks for your expertise!
Izzy says
I love your blog! I've been following you for a while, but this is my first time leaving a comment. Like you, I have a pretty full life… full-time job, 6 kids, husband and two houses! I enjoy reading your posts as well as the others I follow because I'm the only person around me who sews or quilts so these blogs are my personal inspiration, or "guild" if you will! 🙂
Rachel says
Who's to say one blog is better than another? That's why we're all different; different blogs appeal to different people. I used to follow ALOT of quilting blogs, but I don't feel the need to anymore. I've pared it down to the three I found most inspiring and yours is one of them. Nothing wrong with the other ones, and I'm sure they still post beautiful quilts and maybe
Dresden Quilter says
You are amazing! I was scared to send out my fabric to such an incredibly talented group of quilters.
amylouwho says
OHmyword! I feel the exact same way. I've been going through the same thing. asking the same questions. I love the people too. So glad to know you!

In response to pcmIV's comment:
Tex: Considering you wanted the Pats to take Matt Barkley in the 1st round (you know the guy who went in the 4th round) I'd say that criticizing the FO for a reach is the pot calling the kettle black. LMAO.
I listed several players at #29 as people I'd like to see the Pats take, not just Barkley. I also predicted a tradedown (see my final mock draft). Unlike BB, I don't have inside information on players...or a bevy of scouts sending me reports on guys. If you check the major draft publications, you would know that all had Barkley and Nassib highly rated. It was a surprise to all that these guys dropped to the start of round 4.
In any event, what does that matter regarding the use of the 91st overall pick, on a guy who likely could have been had in the 7th round? Are you defending the pick? Did you like the pick? If so...why?

Comments On Apr 25, 2011:This is a must have for serious Mudders. saves time from attaching wire remote then cleaning mud from wires and restoring wired remote. I wish I would have spent the extra at time of purchase and got the XT instead of the RT winch.but I bought this wireless remote system and it works great, another great Warn product.

Comments On Jan 05, 2010:This winch control system works very well and is pretty easy to install no professional needed. Just a few wires, and your in business. The remote works great when you can't be on the machine. (remember to lock to brakes)!!

Comments On Aug 11, 2009:I have this remote on my Grizzly 700 and use it several times a year. It is really handy when you don't want to be on the ATV when winching for safety reasons. Its great when hunting and winching a elk up in the tree. I also use it for loading my Yamaha 3800 Generator into the back of the truck. It is nice to be able to lift the generator off the cart, back the truck under it, and lower it without getting out of the truck to position it. This thing is well worth the price.

Comments On Jan 14, 2008:I purchased this for my Warn XT25 and it works great. There have been times when I preferred not to be on the quad when running the winch.

There is no question that Erin Pezdek wants to make a good first impression. This hand-stitched, hand-tooled, vegetable-tanned leather handlebar/saddle bag is sturdy, beautiful, eye-catching, and made with love and attention to detail—right down to the riveted loop on the front flap to accommodate a tail light. With a vintage-western-shirt flair and vibrant colors (she uses eco-friendly water-based pigments), this bag might need to be locked up to keep from growing legs.

High pressure across Virginia will give eastern Carolina generally clear skies through Friday. Temperatures will still be slightly below normal. The increased sunshine on Friday will enable afternoon highs to reach the lower 70s in most locations. Coastal communities will top out in the upper 60s. More clouds will roll into the area over the weekend but the chance for showers will be slim until Sunday afternoon or evening. Highs over the weekend will be close to 70° with light winds.

If you have decided to switch from smoking tobacco to vaporing with e-cigarettes to try and save money, you may be surprised by the cost of an initial starter kit but, it is just that, a starter kit and so you will not have to buy another one. You will of course have to buy new components for that kit but the kit itself will not have to be bought again. If you want to save money on a starter kit, you can go to where they will offer you a discount.
Some people that take up e-cigarettes do manage to stop smoking regular cigarettes but for many others, it just allows them to drastically reduce the number that they smoke each day. Tobacco cigarette smokers do seem to be content with e-cigarettes though as they still put them to their mouths, they do create smoke and some of them even have lit ends and so their habitual movements remain the same. To actually stop smoking tobacco cigarettes though, it is generally thought that nicotine inhalers are more suitable. Although nicotine inhalers still allow you to intake nicotine, the nicotine is restricted to the mouth only and does not reach the lungs where it can do more harm.
Currently many people use e-cigarettes in public and around other people as they do not believe that they are doing anyone else any harm, like second hand smoke can when smoking tobacco cigarettes. This though is something which has not yet been verified but as the vapour created by e-cigarettes is mainly water, probably soon will be.
Getting back to the starter kits, in each one you should find a vaporizer, a battery and at least a couple of different flavoured e-liquids which give the e-cigarettes their taste. All of this is needed and all is sufficient to start you off using e-cigarettes however, There are more powerful batteries available than the ones that you will find in your starter kit. Sometimes, as these batteries in the starter kits are not powerful enough to last all day without needing to be recharged, many people opt to buy an extra one when they purchase the kit.
Many people having used the battery that came with the kit for several months, decide that they need a more powerful one, one that has variable settings allowing for the flavour to be stronger or weaker. Of course by that time they would probably have tried several other flavours to those that were in the starter kit and so know which one they prefer. Once you have decided on a flavour that you prefer or, have mixed a couple of different ones together to create your own unique flavour, you will be able to buy the flavoured e-liquid in bulk which will be cheaper than buying individual vials. Of course though, buying in bulk will mean that you will have to refill the vials yourself but considering the savings in cost, many find it worthwhile.

Store Wars
this wiki
Store Wars is a mission in Grand Theft Auto: Chinatown Wars, given to protagonist Huang Lee by his uncle Wu Lee from the East Island City district of Dukes, Liberty City
After you meet with Uncle Kenny, he tells you that a store under his protection is going to be attacked by the Spanish Lords. He tells Huang to block the entrances and kill any Spanish Lords that arrive.
It might be best to grab one of the Admirals nearby, as not only can you get there quick but also use it as one of the barricade vehicles. Once you arrive at the store, you'll need to get cars to block the roads leading to the store. Thankfully, there are enough cars around that can be used as blocks. Park them in barricade positions, and select a weapon so you can be ready.
Shortly later, a wave of Spanish Lords arrive to destroy the store. There is a damage meter on the top. and if any gang members throw Molotov Cocktails to firebomb it, it goes up. If it fills up, the mission is a failure. Instead, try to kill the gang members before they throw the Molotov Cocktails. If you kill a wave of Spanish Lords, another will come in a different direction. Several waves will come, but when they are all killed the mission is passed.
Mission objectives
In order to complete the mission the player must:
- Get to the store before the Spanish Lords
- Park vehicles in the barricade positions
- The Spanish Lords have arrived. Defend the store
- More Spanish Lords are here. Take them out
- Spanish Lords are approaching the South end of the street. Take them out
- Get rid of the remaining Spanish Lords
The reward for the completion of this mission is $50. The mission Raw Deal is also unlocked.
- This mission name is a spoof on the popular film series, Star Wars.
Mission Replay description
"The Spanish Lords have been putting Uncle Kenny under pressure.
He's sure they stole Yu Jian.
They tried hitting some stores under his protection, but I barricaded the street and kicked the snot out of them."

Verizon (NTSE: VZ) is a telecommunications company headquartered in New York (and incorporated in Delaware). The company formed in 2000 with the merger of Bell Atlantic Corp. and GTE Corp.[1]
In 2011, Verizon had a total revenue of $110 billion.[2]

Ties to Pete Peterson's "Fix the Debt"
The Campaign to Fix the Debt is the latest incarnation of a decades-long effort by former Nixon man turned Wall Street billionaire Pete Peterson to slash earned benefit programs such as Social Security and Medicare under the guise of fixing the nation's "debt problem." Verizon Communications is part of the Campaign to Fix the Debt as of February 2013.
This article is part of the Center for Media and Democracy's investigation of Pete Peterson's Campaign to "Fix the Debt." Please visit our main SourceWatch page on Fix the Debt.
|About Fix the Debt
The Campaign to Fix the Debt is the latest incarnation of a decades-long effort by former Nixon man turned Wall Street billionaire Pete Peterson to slash earned benefit programs such as Social Security and Medicare under the guise of fixing the nation's "debt problem." Through a special report and new interactive wiki resource, the Center for Media and Democracy -- in partnership with the Nation magazine -- exposes the funding, the leaders, the partner groups, and the phony state "chapters" of this astroturf supergroup. Learn more at PetersonPyramid.org and in the Nation magazine.
Ties to American Legislative Exchange Council
Verizon is a member of the American Legislative Exchange Council (ALEC). It has been on the corporate "Private Enterprise" board[5] and is State corporate co-chair of Virginia and Wyoming.[6] It has been a member of the ALEC Telecommunications and Information Technology Task Force.[7]
ALEC's Executive Director Ronald Scheberle worked "for 31 years as a key member of the Verizon and GTE Federal and State Governmental Affairs Advocacy Team."[8]
|About ALEC
ALEC is a corporate bill mill. It is not just a lobby or a front group; it is much more powerful than that. Through ALEC, corporations hand state legislators their wishlists to benefit their bottom line. Corporations fund almost all of ALEC's operations. They pay for a seat on ALEC task forces where corporate lobbyists and special interest reps vote with elected officials to approve "model" bills.

Tax Dodging
From 2008 to 2010 Verizon paid an effective federal income tax rate of -2.9% shown in the report Corporate Taxpayers and Corporate Tax Dodgers. Verizon received $951 million in rebates, which put its federal tax subsidies at $12.3 billion. Verizon received at least $180.8 million in state and local subsidies in recent years - extracted in exchange for locating facilities and supposedly creating jobs. During the past three years, the total number of employees at Verizon has fallen by more than 40,000 and the company's capital expenditures have declined by $1 billion. These subsidies did not lead to higher compensation for Verizon's employees and the company is demanding more than $1 billion in wage and benefit concessions from its 45,000 union-represented workers.

Political contributions
In 2010, Verizon gave a total of $1.6 million to federal candidates. $783,541 to Democrats and $809,206 to Republicans. Of that total, $97,570 was given by individuals and $1.52 million was contributed by the PAC.[13]
CEO Ivan Seidenberg contributed $32,000 to candidates in the 2010 election cycle.[14] He was a "bundler" for John McCain (R)'s 2008 presidential campaign, raising approximately $117,850. [15]
On June 30, 2011, the Center for Responsive Politics wrote, "Contributions to lawmakers and federal lobbying expenditures by telecommunications interests have spiked as a result of government intervention in the market. Facing potentially stifling federal regulations that threaten to short-circuit their profits, AT&T, Sprint, Verizon and T-Mobile have each dumped millions of dollars into campaign contributions and federal lobbying expenditures, hoping that a barrage of political influence will subdue any unwanted restrictions." [16]
Between 2009 and 2011, Verizon spent $2,686,585 on federal campaign contributions. [17]
Past Elections
Verizon Chairman and Chief Executive Officer Seidenberg was a Bush Pioneer, having raised at least $100,000 for Bush in the 2004 presidential election. [18]
Peter Davidson, Senior Vice President for Federal Government Relations (lobbyist) at Verizon, was a Bush Pioneer. Davidson passed twice through the government-industry revolving door serving as general counsel and policy director to then-House Majority Leader Dick Armey (R-Texas). Davidson then worked for Qwest Communications, then in the George W. Bush administration with the U.S. Trade Representative, then moving to Verizon. [19] [20]
Verizon gave $1,086,400 to federal candidates in the 05/06 election cycle through its political action committee (PAC) - 36% to Democrats, 63% to Republicans, and 1% to other parties. [21]
In 2010, Verizon Communications spent $16,750,000 on lobbying expenditures.[22] A full list of lobbyists used can be seen HERE.
Verizon spent $52.34 million on lobbying expenditures from 2008 to 2010, according to a December 2011 Public Campaign report on corporate lobbying expenditures as compared to federal taxes paid.[23]
Verizon lobbied for over 110 bills in the House and Senate in 2010.[24]
The company spent $13,050,000 for lobbying in 2006. About half of the money went for in-house lobbyists with the remainder being spent on over 40 lobbying firms, some of which were Federalist Group, Patton Boggs, Ernst & Young, Quinn Gillespie & Associates, Bryan Cave Strategies, DCI Group, Cassidy & Associates, The Livingston Group, Mayer, Brown, Rowe & Maw, and Parry Romani DeConcini & Symms. [25]
According to a Public Campaign report, Verizon spent $52.34 million on lobbying between 2008-2010. During the same time period, it received $951 million in tax rebates, and made $32.518 in US profits, meaning it paid a tax rate of -3%. Executive compensation also 167%, from $7,635,651 in 2008 to $20,361,064 in 2010. [26]

Body image after breast cancer treatment
Along with having to cope with the emotional stress that cancer and its treatment can cause, many women with breast cancer also find themselves dealing with changes in their appearance as a result of their treatment.
Some changes may be short term, such as hair loss. But even short-term changes can have a profound effect on how a woman feels about herself. A number of options are available to help women cope with hair loss, including wigs, hats, scarves, and other accessories. Alternatively, some women may choose to use their baldness as a way to identify themselves as breast cancer survivors.
Other changes are more permanent, like the loss of part or all of a breast (or breasts) after surgery. Some women may choose reconstructive surgery to address this, while others may opt for a breast form.
Regardless of the changes you may experience, it's important to know that there is advice and support out there to help you cope with them. Speaking with your doctor or other members of your health care team is often a good starting point. There are also many support groups available, such as the American Cancer Society's Reach To Recovery program. Call 1-800-227-2345 or visit our website to learn more about programs in your area.
Breast forms and bras vs. breast reconstruction
After a mastectomy, you may consider having the breast mound rebuilt or reconstructed. This is usually something that is discussed before surgery to treat the cancer. Decisions about the type of reconstruction and when it will be done depend on each woman's medical situation and personal preferences. There are several types of reconstructive surgery available. Some use saline (saltwater) or silicone implants, while others use tissues from other parts of your body. You may also consider some type of reconstruction if you had breast-conserving surgery. Sometimes tissue from the other breast is removed so that the breasts look more symmetrical (even).
For a discussion of the different breast reconstruction options, see Breast Reconstruction After Mastectomy.
A breast form is a prosthesis (artificial body part) worn either inside a bra or attached to the body to simulate the appearance and feel of a natural breast. For women who have had a mastectomy, breast forms can be an important alternative to breast reconstruction. Some women might not want further surgery, knowing that breast reconstruction can sometimes require several procedures to complete.
If you are planning on using a breast form, your doctor will tell you when you have healed enough to be fitted for a permanent breast form or prosthesis. Most of these forms are made from materials that mimic the movement, feel, and weight of natural tissue. A properly weighted form provides the balance your body needs for correct posture and anchors your bra, keeping it from riding up.
At first, these forms may feel too heavy, but in time they will feel natural. Prices vary considerably. High price doesn't necessarily mean that the product is the best for you. Take time to shop for a good fit, comfort, and an attractive, natural appearance in the bra and under clothing. Your clothes should fit the way they did before surgery.
The right bra for you may very well be the one you have always worn. It may or may not need adjustments. If there is tenderness during healing, a bra extender can help by increasing the circumference of the bra so that it does not bind the chest too tightly. Heavy-breasted women can relieve pressure on shoulder straps by slipping a bra shoulder pad under one or both straps.
If you decide to wear your breast form in a pocket in your bra, you can have your regular bra adapted. There are also special mastectomy bras with the pockets already sewn in. If the breast form causes any kind of skin irritation, use a bra with a pocket. If your bra has underwires, you may be able to wear it, but be sure to clear this with your doctor.
You might want to wear your prosthesis under nightgowns but would like something more comfortable than a regular bra. Most department stores carry a soft bra, sometimes called a leisure or night bra.
Insurance coverage of breast prostheses can vary. Be sure to read your insurance policy to see what is covered and how you must submit claims. Also, ask your doctor to write prescriptions for your prosthesis and for any special mastectomy bras. When purchasing bras or breast forms, mark the bills and any checks you write "surgical." Medicare and Medicaid can be used to pay for some of these expenses if you are eligible. The cost of breast forms and bras with pockets may be tax deductible, as may the cost if you have a bra altered. Keep careful records of all related expenses.
Some insurance companies will not cover both a breast prosthesis and reconstructive surgery. That can mean that if you submit a claim for a prosthesis or bra to your insurance company, in some cases the company will not cover reconstruction, should you choose this procedure in the future. Make sure you get all the facts before submitting any insurance claims.
If you have questions, call your local ACS Reach To Recovery volunteer. She will give you suggestions, additional reading material, and advice. Remember that she's been there and will probably understand.

Feed Management and Planning Meetings for Beef Producers Begin Nov. 6
AMES, Iowa — As cow-calf and feedlot operators continue to deal with drought related issues, Iowa State University Extension and Outreach and the Iowa Beef Center will continue to offer educational opportunities to address ongoing and emerging issues. "Drought – a Game Changer for Beef Operations" is the title of meetings to be held Nov. 6 – Dec. 6 across Iowa. The meetings will look at strategies those in the beef industry may consider as they move forward.
"These fall meetings will focus on managing feed costs and alternative feeds for fall and winter feeding for the cow herd or feedlot use," said Russ Euken, beef specialist with ISU Extension and Outreach. "Developing feeding programs that use available feeds and keep feed costs in check is the goal."
Meeting topics were determined by the needs of producers dealing with drought issues. Topics include the following:
- With corn costs relatively high, producers are searching for ways to reduce corn use but still maintain performance.
- Chemically treating lower quality forages and supplementing the forage or drought stressed corn silage will be a part of the discussion.
- A situation update on beef outlook, current beef supply and demand, and feed price outlook will be provided by Lee Schulz, extension livestock economist, via a recorded presentation.
- A short update on precipitation outlook will be provided by Elwynn Taylor, extension climatologist, via a recorded presentation.
- The meetings also will give an introduction to planning for next year and beyond for beef producers and highlight factors producers should be considering.
Winter meetings covering additional topics are being considered. Topics for these meetings will be determined as the weather and economic situation develop.
To find a November or December meeting location, contact any county extension office, Iowa Cattlemen's Association, or go to www.iowabeefcenter.org to find a listing of all dates and locations. There will be a $10 per person fee payable at the door to cover refreshments and other miscellaneous cost. This could vary at individual sites.

text: Created by Tony Warren in 1960, Coronation Street is one of the longest running TV programmes of all time. It follows the ups and downs of life on a typical cobbled street of terraced houses in a fictional northern town called Weatherfield, located in Greater Manchester. For the first episode of Coronation Street, creator Tony Warren drew from real life to create memorable characters, setting a template for the hit ITV show for the next five decades. There was the social-climbing publican Annie Walker (Doris Speed) and her hen-pecked husband, Jack (Arthur Leslie); the sultry suburban bombshell Elsie Tanner (played by the legendary Pat Phoenix), a character later incarnated in Bet Gilroy (Julie Goodyear) and Natalie Barnes (Denise Welch); and the Street's busybody, battle-axe Ena Sharples (Violet Carson). Storylines on Coronation Street tend to follow the domestic dramas of everyday life, with the occasional major catastrophe thrown in for effect - for example, the fire at The Rovers Return which nearly killed Bet Gilroy; Tracey Barlow murdering boyfriend Charlie Stubbs; and killer Richard Hillman driving the entire Platt family into the canal. Since its creation, Coronation Street has become a British icon, with illustrious stars Sir Ian McKellan, Sir Trevor McDonald, Peter Kay, Maureen Lipman and even Prince Charles eager to appear in it. Despite its distinct Mancunian accents and Northern humour, Coronation Street is also loved around the world and is screened in the Republic of Ireland, Canada, New Zealand and Australia.

I like it Gidde. I think it conveys what you are trying to accomplish quite well
Well, I wasn't going to bother the CG folks with this, but if GP, geamon, and Ravs can do it I guess I can too. Plus, I can't think of any group of folks whose opinions on this kind of thing I value more.
So here is the current logo I have going for studiogidde.com, which is bought and built (mostly), I'm just waiting for some Outside Employment paperwork to go through at the day job.
It's been (quite literally, unfortunately) giving me headaches for days. The problem is that I'm going to be marketing both my fonts and my maps on one site, and I can't seem to get across both ideas in the logo. It also means I'd like to stay away from using fonts I haven't created myself.
The current thumbnail (such that it is) is my avatar atm, and this is the full size logo that's on the page (by itself and in context):

Oh my word, this looks fantastic! (would you like to design my website too?)
Do you have / need a vector equivalent of your logo? You know, when they have to put it up in 30 foot high billboards, or paste it to the sides of aircraft?
I really like the creamy / ivory colours as your background and the way you've laid the menu out to the right.
Thanks for the encouragement, guys! I'm glad I posted. I was really about to chuck the whole thing (well, the logo anyway; I rather like the site design) and start over.
As for designing a website, I'd rather teach a man to fish, but I'd be happy to help you build something, Ravs. PM me if you want to work on it.
Looks great - I love that compass.
Any reason why it's Studio Gidde rather than Gidde Studio?
The green of the Studio is very close in tone to the compass - I'd lighten or darken it to separate it. I love the map background for the website - will that repeat or will it be a fixed background with the central panel scrolling over it?
Great work!
Rubbish is one of my favorite words Still, this isn't rubbish. I think it looks wonderful. It has the smoky or creamy feel that Immolate gets on his maps which I still haven't come close to. If you start up a web tutorial series I'll join as well

Thanks for the feedback, Torstan!
-- On the name: I'm not sure. studioGidde just sounded better to me, must be all the years of French culture I got steeped in as a child which puts the noun before the owner.
-- On the green: I agree. I've spent *countless* hours trying to get that green right and failing. I'll try again ...
-- On the background: Neither. Took me the better part of last weekend to get it to work, but it's actually stuck to the bottom corner of the page, so if you size the window or the content grows, it will still be right there in the bottom corner of the actual content.
Studio Ghibli is one of my favourite Japanese animation houses....if you haven't seen 'Grave of the Fireflies' or 'Kiki's delivery service' you've really missed out. I liked Gidde's choice cos it had that resonance.
Eek, some cross posts happened there. I'll think about a web design tutorial; I've had to do a couple of workshops at the day job, as well (which is why you don't see Web Design as one of the things my website is promoting; too close to what I do at the day job) and I may be able to kill more than one bird with a proverbial stone.
In the meantime, for anyone who thinks a web page's stylesheet has anything to do with a waterfall (), w3schools.com is FANTASTIC. It's my go-to for reference when I need to dig down into HTML/CSS again, and it's got fantastic tutorials as well.

Quiksilver Pro New York: Tuesday Wrap Up
This morning dawned overcast and gray after a night of torrential rain and plummeting temperatures – a fresh, cold North wind replacing the muggy onshore breeze that's been howling the last few days. Fall weather in New York is here. Summer, officially over.
Round One kicked off in well-groomed two-foot peaks, the first pulses from nearing Hurricane Katia, in front of a small group of diehard New York surf fans. This is the first day of the richest surf contest to date, but the inclement weather and intimate morning crowd gave it the feel of a small time, East Coast family surf contest.
At eight sharp when Brett Simpson, Joel Parkinson, and Travis Logie paddled out in heat one in front of a deserted beach. Nevertheless, word got out fast that the contest was called on. At eleven when local hero Balaram Stack paddled out versus Kelly Slater and Dan Ross, the beach had filled despite the steady rains. Ala Dylan Graves versus Slater in Puerto Rico last November, it was entirely apparent whom the crowd was cheering for.
Each time Bal stood up Long Beach showed support, cheering and screaming, working together, a massive crowd acting as single entity to will the local boy past the 10-time champ. As it turned out, it wasn't to be. Bal failed to land any of the numerous backside spinners he attempted, while Kelly went on a tear – making the weak lefts look entirely too fun and absolutely demolishing a rare right to stroll to victory on a board he'd surfed only once prior to the heat.
When asked how he's approaching this event and today's small waves, he answered that he is doing it all "with gratitude."
"After surfing giant waves in Tahiti last week, it's a nice feeling actually. Today we get to create out own energy out there. It's not a bad thing necessarily. Coming from Florida I've surfed waves similar to this plenty of times, and they can be fun," added the ten-time World Champion.
In these very Sunshine Stateish conditions surprisingly CJ Hobgood was the only other Floridian/East Coaster to channel the inner grom days and blitz to victory, overcoming Bede Durbidge and advancing to the third round. The others – brother Damien, Cory Lopez, Gabe Kling, and wildcards Balaram Stack and Asher Nolan all failed to win their openers.
But the standout of the day was Josh Kerr, scoring 18 points in Heat 11 by way of the two biggest airs of the opening round, a full rotator reverse and an alley-oop on separate waves. Surprised? Hardly. Kerr is lethal in this shit.
"I got a couple of the ramps I was looking for. It was really cool, I was able to look in and see what happened [on the replay screen] and I was stoked on how that first air looked. I was kind of just floating. That was a lot of fun."
Looking forward, this event may have hit the forecast jackpot. Tomorrow through Friday will see much larger Hurricane swell with the potential for a few epic moments as well, depending on wind conditions. Stay tuned for daily updates!—Zander Morton

Comments On Jul 27, 2015:I bought this tire for tight technical single track with a lot of rocks and hard pack terrain, unfortunately I'm totally unimpressed.
I tend to use a 90/100 for the front and thought I'd try the Pirelli, but I won't repeat the purchase. With the larger tire for hard terrain, usually the rubber compound is soft for the ability to grip, not this tire, it's hard and has limited grip on all surfaces!
For a front tire I think the 554 is a bad choice!

Comments On Apr 29, 2015:I have really enjoyed the Pirelli, usually I'm running Dunlop or some other brand of tire but I think I'll be sticking with Pirelli in the future. Its a really good looking tire that connects up great. I ride rock to sand and everything in between and this has hooked up good on everything. Its holding up great i have put about 10 rides on it and it still looks really good. No issues with it at all .

Comments On Dec 14, 2014:I replaced the Dunlop tires I had with the Pirelli Mx544 and have been very happy with them. The grip and control is very consistent and the wear has been the best I have seen. I have ridden hard clay tracks with great confidence as well as loose dirt with sand mixed and found these tires to be great in all conditions. The front works amazing on hard pack but also ran a Grand Prix with woods and water crossings and rocks and never had a problem . The rear has a great controlled feel to it , even on indoor tracks. I am sold on these tires.

Comments On Jun 13, 2014:The back tire worked really well on a varity of terrain. I ride mainly MX on a track that gets hard to blue groove. The front knobs were torn, some you could pull back far enough to see the cords in the tire. The front lasted less than the rear-about 300 miles. Would not buy this tire again.

"The Great Beauty," which many critics have compared to Fellini's 1960 film "La Dolce Vita," broke the dry spell.
Asked backstage if the pressure of his countrymen had gotten to him, director Paolo Sorrentino said it had.
"I felt a sense of responsibility in the last days from my country because too many people were talking about this award," he said. "It was a little bit hard to live. But now I am happy. I am very happy."
The movie, heavily favored since winning awards from the Golden Globes and British Academy, follows writer Jep Gambardella, who at age 65 begins to re-examine the luxuriant life he's led in Rome, years after writing the one book that elevated him into high society.
While at the same dividing critics for its focus on the malaise of some of Rome's inhabitants, the film has been hailed for bringing out the city's sumptuous beauty.
Sorrentino said backstage that the music in the movie brought out the city's inherent contradictions.
"The music in the film is a very simple mix between sacred music and profane music because in my mind, Rome is a city that has this big characteristic," he said. "It's the center of the Vatican, the center of the Catholic world. At the same time, the profane world works under the Vatican."
In a tribute that may have confused his countrymen, Sorrentino thanked several luminaries, from Fellini and Italian-American director Martin Scorsese to Diego Maradona, the Argentine soccer star.
Sorrentino explained backstage that he was born in Napoli, Italy, where Maradona played when the director was still a boy. "For me, he was very important," he said.

The Easter Bunny is Australian and Santa Clause is Russian. Rise of the Guardians is an animated movie where the boggy man is trying to take over the dreams of children and make them forget the Easter Bunny, Santa Clause, the tooth fairy etc. Jack Frost is coaxed to join the Guardians and help fight off Pitch (the Boogeyman). I found this to be a delightful film. I liked that the Easter Bunny, played by Hugh Jackman, was Australian. This was not a scary movie but it is rated PG. Give it a try. This and many others movies are available at KPL.

At issue is the 5 and 2 scheduling: five periods of teaching, 2 periods of planning and meeting with students, but the district is asking that some teachers instruct for a sixth period if another class becomes too full.
Teachers have agreed to do so in the past, but they don't want it to become a permanent thing.
Board president Dave Kirlinkus says the district just wants the option to be able to ask a teacher to instruct a sixth class.
Teachers could say no, but if they agreed, they would be paid 20 percent extra. No new contract negotiations have been scheduled.

USA TODAY has full coverage of the 70th anniversary of D-Day, from remembrances of veterans to how that historic day has been depicted by Hollywood over the years. Here's a quick rundown of some of what's available:
• An operation as sweeping in scale as the Normandy invasion brought many challenges. But ultimately, as one professor said: "This is when America goes from being a power to a superpower."
• Tom Brokaw, author of The Greatest Generation, says the Normandy invasion was "enduring testimony to the uncommon courage of the common man in an American uniform."
• One D-Day veteran reflects on the grim task he was given to gather the bodies of the fallen.
• A vet who was just 17 when he took part in an invasion that would change the world shares his harrowing story.
• D-Day has been the inspiration for a number of great Hollywood films. Among the top 5: Saving Private Ryan and The Longest Day.
