My husband doesn't want to watch the birth. What should I do?
My husband doesn't want to be in the delivery room when our baby is born. I really want him to be there, but I don't know how to change his mind. He says he doesn't want to see 'all the stuff that comes out with the baby.' What can I do?

My DH was willing to be with me during the delivery (not that I was giving him any choice about it!), but right up through most of my labor, he was insisting that he didn't want to see anything below my waist (he thought he'd be grossed out, or something). However, when our son was starting to crown, and the nurses asked if anyone wanted to see his head (my mom and best friend were also in the room with us), my DH almost knocked one of the nurses over in his rush to get down to the bottom of the bed so he could see. Every contraction after that, he either leaned around so he could see while holding my hand, or he watched in the mirror that they set up so I could see. So much for not wanting to see anything come out of me! :-)posted 02/08/2006 by fredsmommie
My husband also does not want to be in the delivery room. At first I was upset by this but the more I think about it, the more I decide that I don't want him in there if he doesn't want to be in there. I would hate to force him to do something he so adamantly does not want to do and have him end up resenting me for that. Of course, I think once I actually go into labor, he will have a hard time leaving my side. But for now, I tell him whatever he wants to do is fine by me.posted 11/15/2005 by a BabyCenter Member
My husband wants to be in the room but he doesn't want to see the "actual" birth. We decided that he is there for me and the doctor is there for the baby (untill it is actually out of me). Rather than looking toward my feet he is going to look at my face and coach me. I am glad that he was able to tell me what he wanted and that we were able to work out a compromise. I don't want to have to worry about him while I am giving birth. He also does not want to cut the cord. Again I don't mind I don't think my child is going to be lacking because he didn't want to do that. Honestly, as long as my baby is born healthy I really don't care.posted 06/10/2005 by a BabyCenter Member
With our daughter, my hubby was VERY worried abour being in the room with me. I didn't understand why he didn't want to be in there with me when I needed him! After months of talking about it, he finally admitted to me that he was worried that he would pass out from the sight of my blood! I had to stop myself from laughing out loud. I explained to him that I just needed him to be there to hold my hand. I personally did not want to watch the actual birth either! I wanted to have the best expirience possible. But once we got to the hospital, my husband was so amazing for me! And he did end up watching the birth. He was crying more than I was. It was a really special moment for him. I'd suggest talking to your husband some more and find out his reasons for not wanting to be there. Hopefully you can reach a compromise!posted 01/06/2009 by rubicon_queen
Any "man" who doesn't want to at least be in the delivery room is a wuss. We women are the ones experiencing all the pain and everything....at least he can sit there by her side and offer support. He doesn't have to stare between her legs and watch the baby be born. If a guy is man enough to make a baby, he is man enough to sit at your side. There is NO REASON why he shouldn't be in the delivery room.posted 09/14/2010 by albrieann
I'm 36 weeks pregnant and my husband is adamant that he will not be there when I'm giving birth.He said that he will wait outside the room but suggested that HIS mother stays with me whilst I'm giving birth.I've already told my mother that I didn't want her with me as I only want my husband so I think it's rather selfish of my husband to even suggest that his mother is with me.If my husband doesn't want to watch the baby coming out then that is fine but I feel that he should be there to support me. This is my first time and I'm extremely nervous but I haven't got any choice.I'm really upset about the whole situation and it's really stressing me out.He won't even attend parenting classes with me as he feels that he doesn't need to know anything as it's me who'll be giving birth. I just think he has a really selfish attitude.As the baby's father, he should be there for me at least.posted 01/11/2008 by derya74
My hubby really didn't get to 'watch' while I gave birth. He was too busy rubbing my back, holding a leg, or wiping my face and brushing my hair. After the third child, he finally got brave enough to cut the cord. When I was born, men were not allowed to be in the room for the birth of their children. It is something my dad regrets. I don't care what centralmass2004 says, your hubby will never get over not being there to see his child being born. Yes, it's messy and gross, but it's part of life. Sex can be just as messy and gross (depending what you are into) and I don't see men backing away from that!posted 10/13/2005 by autumnschoemann
when i first discovered i was pregnant i decided i would rather my boyfriend wasn't there, but one day he brought it up that he was a little hurt that i didn't want him there, and that made me really want his support. of course i don't want him starring "down there", i want him with me, and i'm really glad he told me! and any men who make an excuse such as being queasy or who are concerned about their sex lives are absolutely PATHETIC! it makes me so furious after women are the ones who go through the whole 9 months carrying, and are then expected to deliver alone too! childbirth is natural! and if my boyfriend made an excuse about sex, it would put me right off having sex anyway! a husband/boyfriend etc. should love you even more for carrying and giving birth to their child, not love you less!!!!!!!!! i feel very strongly about that!!!!!!!!!!posted 05/20/2005 by a BabyCenter Member
For those who dislike the "show" that you perform giving birth at the hospital, with all the doctors, nurses, students, etc looking at your personal parts, have you ever considered a home birth?? At home, you have all the privacy you want, only those you wish to be there are allowed, and the midwife does far fewer checks on you than a doctor will. At home, your significant other can choose to be there or not, maybe even just be in the next room, keeping things ready that are needed (clean towels, hot water, phone calls, etc.). If you don't want to be a sideshow at your child's birth, consider a home birth, or a birth center birth, where you have a situation similar to home, but with medical help right around the corner if it is needed. I had two successful home births, and was totally satisfied.posted 01/01/2005 by a BabyCenter Member
Well that?s ok just have him by your side when you have the baby but don?t make the mistake to not have him there in the room.posted 03/10/2006 by lilanique

Rented a specific bike so I could take an extended test ride, and the bike shop that rented it to me should be ashamed of themselves.
The chain skips in a couple of gears, but a bit of barrel adjusting seems to have fixed that.
The danger though is that the cranks lock up due to the chain binding on the rear derailler randomly when I shift to the highest rear while on the middle chainring. Fortunately the times it did this I did not go over the bars or otherwise have an accident, but I was just lucky.
I really can't believe a bike shop would rent out a bike in as poor a shape as this one is in...there's just no excuse.
I'll surely be cluing them in tomorrow when I take it back, but it's probably wasted breath.

Ever since puberty, I found my body to be a site of shame, something I desperately wanted to escape.
A transplant to predominantly white Catholic schools on Long Island, I was immediately deemed ugly. I had an older sister, but we were close enough in age that we were navigating puberty around the same time. As second-generation daughters of immigrant parents, we were on our own as far as navigating the personal and social meanings of our bodies.
A lot of hurdles were awkward for me. I grew flustered and self-conscious when relatives felt no qualms about making unsolicited comments about my body.
"You've got boobs now," an aunt told me bluntly when I came over with my mother once. How could she mention them? I was mortified.
I could avoid it for a while by wearing starchy undershirts under my school blouses, but soon, I couldn't hide my growing breasts anymore. I crossed my arms over my chest in an attempt to hide my nipples as they showed through my shirt, but I might as well have beRead more...

Don't worry. I also was concerned with these 'clicks' when received my SX40 eight months ago. Other users soothed me about them. I am quite pleased with the camera.

Mariah's purple plateMariah Carey will only eat purple food.
The pop diva is convinced mauve-coloured foods like grapes and plums - known for their anti-ageing benefits - will stop her developing wrinkles.
The singer, who devised the diet with her nutritionist, now munches purple meals three days a week.
A source said: "It may seem bizarre but purple products are nature's best weapons in the battle against ageing. It's said that 'a plum a day keeps a facelift away'.
"Purple food can prevent breakdown of collagen and slow the wasting of muscles."
This is not the first time Mariah has tried a bizarre diet.
Earlier this year, it was revealed she was living on plain fish and soup in a bid to shed excess pounds.
The curvy star took all calorific treats off the menu until she reached her target weight.

I had called the working person store customer service to order workwear earlier this morning. A women named answered the phone and was gladly willing to help. I was planing on purchasing a certain style pair of pants. I told her that I needed something that will be a bit tougher then the ones I currently have. She went through all the different types and styles available. I was very happy with the amount of knowledge your customer service had with all the products that are available. I was able to purchase the right products for my need! I would like to say thanks to the whole Working Person Store team for making it very easy to purchase all workwear!"

AURORA — Aurora will hold two public hearings in June to discuss implementing a small tax increment finance area in one square block of the Fletcher Plaza urban renewal area in the Aurora Cultural Arts District.
The proposed TIF would be used to recapitalize on grants that have been funneled into economic revitalization efforts in the urban renewal area over the last several years, said Andrea Amonick, director of development services in Aurora.
" We're making investments in several retail shops now," she said. "We've done a number of redevelopment projects within the area in the past ... and now we're working with two restaurants who want to go into the Florence Square project."
Florence Square is a mixed-use development across the street from the Martin Luther King Jr. Library at 9801 E. Colfax Ave. The ground floor of the building is where the two anticipated restaurants — Granny Annie Peachie Pie Southern Cuisine and Café Paprika — will open. This will be Café Paprika's second location in Aurora.
"The first floor has not been built out, so in order to get restaurants in those spaces, they need some financial assistance for restaurant infrastructure," Amonick said. "Things like hoods, ventilation, grease traps — all stuff that wasn't built with the original space because we didn't know what kind of retail would go in there."
The city funds those infrastructure projects through a combination of grants and loans to entice businesses to sign a lease in the neighborhood. The TIF would recapture sales and use taxes from the new restaurants as well as all tax-generating businesses in the TIF boundary to reinvest.
"The TIF will leverage the other funds we've invested," said Aaron Gagné, manager of community development in Aurora. "Our department doesn't finance projects; we make direct investments in things like storefronts and commercial building visage to improve the visual condition of the entire neighborhood."
An example is Mu Brewery, which received community development block grants to ready the building at 9735 E. Colfax Ave. for specialized craft beer brewing equipment.Mu Brewery is slated to open this month. Its generated revenue would be reinvested into future projects in the urban renewal area through the TIF.
The potential TIF zone is about one square block of the larger urban renewal area, including 15 parcels on the north and south sides of East Colfax Avenue between Dayton and Emporia Streets, a portion of a parcel fronting the north side of East Colfax Avenue between Emporia and Elmira Streets, as well as seven additional contiguous parcels south of East Colfax fronting Dayton or Emporia Streets.
The city planning department has received a lot of interest from residents who want to speak at the scheduled public hearing at the Aurora City Council meeting at 7:30 p.m. June 2. Amonick said the department will likely request a continuation of public comment to the council meeting June 23.

It is understandable that the journalists and the newspaper should be on the same side but this kind of abusive news are makes people sick. You are neither relevant with Turkey nor have no tendency to show out realities into the world. Whatever what are you thinking or trying, the method you are tracking is weak and useless.
I thank Wsj for the article. Its the kind of truthful reporting that makes Islamists apprehensive, nervous, angry, helpless? Lol
A Jewish conspiracy! How clever of Erdogan to have figured it out! Amazing how a few million Jews can control the entire world. He has a document to prove his thesis! Probably the Protocols or the bordereau. Smells like the Dreyfus Affair, and many other inanities and insanities, warmed over. Erdogan must be crapping his pants, fearful of The Jews. Surely Turks are not so stupid and gullible as to fall for this.
Mr. Erdogan appears to be in a panic, concerned about his own political survival.
Insisting upon Jeffersonian democracy in countries which lack democratic values, traditions, and institutions results in elected dictatorships. There is no shortcut in building democracy. Why must we believe that one form of government will work throughout the entire world?
To confirm Night Owl (must be Russian??):
Democracy is a process, not a condition.
Why are they members of Nato? Those crafty jews, how are they ever going to drive them into the sea. Erdogan is pathetic and it is no surprise that he and Dumbo are so chummy, great minds think alike.
Erdogan is a prime example of Hitler, he keeps blaming the Jews for everything, when is this pathetic loser going to blame himself and sign up for a one way trip to Mars.
Hey Erdogan, be quiet. Its not your business.
Is the ONLY view that is NOT out of touch with REALITY.
And that reality is the FAİLED plan of the Middle East, designed by greedy colonials Britain and France.
After the ww1, they told Arabs they would be FREE if they were allies with them,
Now we see all they want is the RESOURCES of Arabs and EMİRS/DİCTARORS who rule them.
Sooner or later Turks will be the only option in Middle East, AGAIN.
Erdogan is working overtime to produce an Islamic state in Turkey. I have relatives in Turkey that are exiting just because of this Islamic direction. it is unfortunate that Turkey is going this way as the economy is very productive with a secular government. Turkey enjoyed good relations with Israel and other neighbors until Erdogan came along. I think we will begin to see a Turkey with an economy that will shrink with the increase in hate rhetoric.

Two men from the Y-K Delta died in Anchorage this past week.
33-year-old Richard Rivers, originally from Hooper Bay, reportedly died at the Alaska Native Medical Center in Anchorage on May 30th after medics found him at laying down at the entrance of a gas station in east Anchorage. They transported him to the hospital where he died.
Rivers' body was then transported to the State Medical Examiners office.
Family members say his body will be returned to Hooper Bay Thursday.
43-year-old Jesse Gunlik Jr. originally from Kipnuk was discovered in the woods approximately 100 yards north of the gas station June 1st, just after noon.
Two bottles of blue fluid were found near the body, according to a police report. Police say one bottle was empty and the one that was full contained windshield wiper fluid.
The body was taken into custody by the medical examiner to determine the cause of death. There were no immediate signs of foul play.
Full autopsies and toxicology screenings were performed on both bodies. Results could take six to eight weeks.
Gunlik and Rivers were reportedly friends. It's not known whether the deaths are connected.

Pakistan and the Future of U.S. Policy
In this foregn policy brief and Policy Analysis, Malou Innocent states that there is a spreading Islamic insurgency around the ungoverned border between Afghanistan and Pakistan. After initial victories by the United States and the Northern Alliance in autumn 2001, hundreds of Taliban and al Qaeda fighters fled Afghanistan to seek refuge across the border in Pakistan's rugged northwest. Since 2007, the number of ambushes, militant offensives, and targeted assassinations has risen sharply across Afghanistan, while suicide bombers and pro-Taliban insurgents sweep through settled areas of Pakistan at an alarming pace. For better and for worse, Pakistan will remain the fulcrum of U.S. policy in the region—its leaders continue to provide vital counterterrorism cooperation and have received close to $20 billion in assistance from the United States, yet elements associated with its national intelligence agency, Inter-Services Intelligence, covertly assist militant proxy groups destabilizing the region.
Instead of "surging" into this volatile region, the United States must focus on limiting cross-border movement along the Afghanistan-Pakistan frontier and supporting local Pakistani security forces with a small number of U.S. Special Forces personnel. To improve fighting capabilities and enhance cooperation, Washington and Islamabad must increase the number of Pakistani officers trained through the U.S. Department of Defense International Military Education and Training program. In addition, U.S. aid to Pakistan must be monitored more closely to ensure Pakistan's military does not divert U.S. assistance to the purchase of weapons systems that can be used against its chief rival, India. Most impor- tant, U.S. policymakers must stop embracing a single Pakistani leader or backing a single political party, as they unwisely did with Pervez Musharraf and the late Benazir Bhutto.
Because the long-term success of this nuclear-armed Muslim-majority country depends on the public's repudiation of extremism, and our continued presence in Afghanistan is adding more fuel to violent religious radicalism, our mission in the region, as well as our tactics, our objectives, and our interests, must all be reexamined.

Hi All!
I'm wondering if anyone has any experience of biking out of the Athens International Airport. Is that possible?
Hi All!
I'm wondering if anyone has any experience of biking out of the Athens International Airport. Is that possible?
I was there a couple of years ago, but not with a bike. We arrived at and departed from the airport on the ground by means of a tour bus on limited access divided four lane highways. I do not know if there would also be surface streets servicing it.
I remember exchanging a couple of posts on BF with someone from Athens. He said he does not cycle in Athens, but goes outside of the city to cycle in the mountains and hills. A lot of what I saw while in Athens and his comments led me to believe Athens is not very conducive to cycling.
But, looking at Athens and the Athens airport on Google Maps (satellite view), it appears there are some two lane conventional roads not far from the airport that lead into Athens. I cannot tell if they are heavily traveled or if there is room for a bike on them.
Many of the people in Athens speak very good English, and that is a tremendous help. I studied New Testament Greek in college. While in Athens I bought a dictionary for Modern Greek. It combined with what I knew from my college Greek helped me decipher notices and signs and was a big advantage. Even the dictionary without any study of Greek would have been a help, but you would need some self-tutoring with the characters of the alphabet, both upper and lower case.

Click here to listen to previous editions of Our Town.
Spoken word poetry, the Rhododendron Festival Junior and Senior Courts; a continuing education program at Lane Community College in Florence, and a fund raiser for the Children's Repertory of Oregon Workshop will be the topics of conversation on this week's Our Town.
Host Bob Sneddon will visit with Stephen Fowler and Noah Schultz about how they are turning their lives around. Both were just 17 years old when they were sentenced to 90 months in the custody of the Oregon Youth Authority. They're nearing the end of their sentences and since their incarceration, Schultz has earned two bachelor's degrees and Fowler is nearing completion of his first.
Five years ago they each experience the power and importance of Spoken Word Poetry. They've both become quite accomplished in their writing and oral presentations and they are undertaking an effort to reach out to high school students to let them know they can find their own voice, and maybe change their life as well.
They're doing it with some help of the Florence Regional Arts Alliance. Bettie Egerton and Karen Brown are joining the conversation to talk about the "Give Youth a Voice" effort. FRAA will host a fund-raising activity on Saturday, February 20th at the FRAA Art Center in Old Town Florence. Proceeds from the "Love Gone Bad, You Done Me Wrong" party will be used to help offset the costs of the project.
Also on Our Town this month will be Cindy Wobbe and Eric Tanikawa. Wobbe is one of two Rhododendron Festival Senior Court advisors. Tanikawa is the Boys' Junior Court wrangler. The junior boys are a new addition to the festival this year. Wobbe and Tanikawa will talk about the court responsibilities and a few other new "wrinkles".
Melanie Heard, the artistic director for CROW, the Children's Repertory of Oregon Workshop in Florence will visit Our Town as well. Joining her will be Cameron Utz. Utz was recently cast as "Donkey" in the CROW production of Shrek Jr that is coming later this spring. They too are hosting a fund raiser, theirs will be Saturday, February 13th at the Florence Events Center with proceeds going towards the remodeling fund for their headquarters.
Rounding out the lineup on Our Town will be Marsha Sills, the continuing education coordinator for the Florence Campus of Lane Community College. Sills will talk about how she can help students of any age connect with the classes offered at LCC.
It's all sponsored by Andy Baber of Edward Jones Investments; Holloway and Associates CPA's; the Archives Photo Restoration Specialists, and PeaceHealth. It airs on KCST, FM 106.9, Wednesday, February 3rd from 4 to 6 PM; then again the next morning, Thursday from ten until noon on KCFM, AM1250/FM104.1

See the light like a pro: everything you were afraid to ask about natural light
Natural Light Photography: how time and place affect lighting
The great thing about shooting outdoors is that the light is constantly changing – and not just because of the weather. One of the most important factors when shooting outdoors is the time of day.
Early and late in the day, the sun is low in the sky, creating an angular light that reveals form and pattern, because shadows are longer than those created when the sun is higher in the sky.
How high the sun rises in the sky – and how quickly it rises – vary greatly depending on where you are in the world, and on the time of year. The so-called 'golden hour' just after dawn and before dusk varies in length. It is much shorter in summer, and the closer you get to the equator.
However, it is not just the angle of light that changes throughout the day. The lower the sun is in the sky, the greater the amount of the earth's atmosphere the light has to pass through before it reaches your photographic subject.
This softens the light, as dust particles and water vapour diffract the light, scattering it so it appears less harsh. The softening effect is emphasised by the fact that skylight is less variable, so seems to soften the shadows more significantly.
The time of day also affects the colour of the light. Some wavelengths of light are diffracted more readily than others, and this means that direct sunlight will look more orange at the beginning and end of the day.
Fast-moving times of day
Landscape photographers don't just get out of bed before dawn and stay out late in the day because the light is softer and warmer. At the start and end of the day lighting conditions can change dramatically over a relatively short period of time – increasing the chance of you getting the picture that you want, or allowing you to get a sequence of dramatically different-looking shots of the same scene.
In the infographic below you can see how quickly the light can change within a span of less than an hour during these fast-moving times of day.
Take control of temperature
If left to its own devices, your digital camera will automatically adjust for the colour of a light source. Usually, this works well, but it can mean that the camera loses some of the atmosphere of a scene – making a sunset less orange, for instance.
It can therefore be useful to set the White Balance manually for some scenes to get the colours right in-camera.
With sunsets, a simple trick is to set the White Balance to Shade to make the colours more red. But sometimes it can pay to do the opposite. Just before dawn or just after sunset, scenes look blue, because the landscape is lit by reflected skylight alone.
To make your pictures look more blue, set the White Balance setting to Tungsten. If you shoot using the RAW Quality setting you can alter this White Balance setting, easily on your computer using a program like Photoshop Elements.

In a film, television or theater production, actors often get together for what's known as a table-read -- an organized reading of the screenplay or script while sitting around a table. In World Wrestling Entertainment's universe of mayhem-filled, rough-and-tumble show business, it's more likely a performer gets thrown through the table and sits in a pile of splinters.
But these men and women - known in WWE parlance as "superstars" and "divas" -- still need their entertaining prep time in between taping five weekly television and online series and almost monthly pay-per-view extravaganzas. They have to stay sharp at live events, versions of what the company's rabid fan base sees on TV without the cameras or lengthy commercial breaks.
WWE travels the globe for more than 320 live events annually and much of that travel is far more arduous than glamorous. When WWE returns to Anchorage's Sullivan Arena next week for the first time in almost exactly four years, the performers will be less than two days removed from a show in San Antonio. Two days later, they'll be back at work in Stockton, Calif.
Yet when professional wrestlers from the top brand in the game walk the aisle to the Sullivan ring, look for them to put jet lag and any aches and pains behind them. Arena officials released a presumed card of matches several months ago, and while just who grapples whom is subject to change, let's take a look at the cast of characters you should expect to see in action.
Main Event No. 1 -- World Heavyweight Champion
The Big Show vs. "The Celtic Warrior" Sheamus: The giant goes up against the ginger.
The Big Show - billed as "The World's Largest Athlete" at 7-foot, 500-plus pounds -- has been in the business for a while and plays the villainous role like a pro. The reigning heavyweight champ has been known to drop opponents with one knockout punch, something Anchorage's hockey community should appreciate.
Sheamus answers the question of what television host Conan O'Brien might look like if he packed on a muscular frame and spoke in a thick Irish brogue. Sheamus' accent is so distinct and authentic, it should come with a six-pack of Guinness. Anchorage fans can hope he grabs a microphone. Hearing the man say "fella" is worth the price of admission.
Main Event No. 2
"The Viper" Randy Orton vs. Alberto Del Rio: This is one match that could be subject to change.
Another WWE veteran, Orton has spent recent weeks teasing tension with Sheamus in televised story lines. Both men are eager to earn a shot at Big Show's World Heavyweight Championship belt.
Del Rio, billed as a "Mexican aristocrat," has been an arrogant baddie -- or "heel" -- for most of his WWE run. But he's shown signs of going good, so it's anyone's guess what might go down in Anchorage.
The best of the presumed rest
Team Hell No: Kane, the "Big Red Machine," and former independent wrestling darling Daniel Bryan are your reigning WWE tag team champions, but they aren't exactly buddies.
Brodus Clay: He's the only living, breathing Funkasaurus in captivity, with the funky theme song to prove it - albeit a song used by a different WWE performer in years gone by. But many of Clay's kiddie fans don't know that or don't care.
3MB (The Three Man Band): Heath Slater joins Jinder Mahal and Drew McIntyre to form a bad-guy group that thinks it's rock-star cool. Justin Bieber and One Direction probably own more crunching guitar-riff cred.
Pro wrestling glossary
Professional wrestling's origins date back decades to the days of traveling carnivals and circuses. With it came its own language or slang, sometimes referred to as "carny talk" if you believe Wikipedia.
As Anchorage prepares to host World Wrestling Entertainment's Smackdown World Tour Thursday at Sullivan Arena, here's a list of some wrestling terminology to prep yourself in the meantime.
Angle: A fictional storyline, usually staged between two wrestlers.
Bump: When a wrestler falls to the mat or to the ground outside the ring by way of his or her opponent's offensive move.
Cheap heat/Cheap pop: Heat is created when a performer incites a negative reaction from the crowd. Hear the crowd pop positively when a wrestler mentions the city they're currently in or wears the gear of a local team. Retired WWE star Edge donned an Alaska Aces uniform years ago.
Dirt Sheet: An insider professional wrestling website or newsletter.
Gimmick: The character a wrestler portrays.
Over: When the crowd loves a wrestler.
Promo: Wrestlers "cut a promo" when they grab the microphone and cut loose, usually to advance an angle or generate heat or pop.
Sell: Reacting to an opponent's attacks in a way that suggests they "really" hurt.
Swerve: Surprising the fans with a sudden change in a story line. Swerves often involve one wrestler turning on an ally, leading to a new angle.
Work: What's planned to happen in wrestling's pre-determined world in the carnival tradition of "working the crowd."

As the president and founder of Esri, the world's technical and market-leading producer of geographic information systems (GIS) software, Jack Dangermond has guided that company's growth from its founding as a research group in 1969. The recipient of no less than three collegiate degrees with emphases in landscape architecture (B.S. Cal State Poly, M. Arch. University of Minnesota, M.S. Harvard), Dangermond became heavily involved with GIS as a landscape architectural graduate student at Harvard in the 1960's.
After its early days as a research group focused on land planning, Esri began to focus more and more on the development of GIS software, eventually releasing its first commercially available software program, Arc/INFO in 1982. In 1999, Esri introduced a version of Arc for Windows operating systems that has since become commonplace in workplaces worldwide, influencing fields as diverse as geology, fire and safety, police enforcement, architecture and engineering, city planning, and many more.
Can you briefly tell me a little about the early days of GIS, who was advocating it, who was using it in the field and how that's evolved over time?
Yes. When it started, it had several birthplaces. One of them was at Harvard at their lab for computer graphics and spatial analysis. That was in the mid-60s. A professor there by the name of Howard Fisher founded this lab for computer graphics. And one of his early researchers was Carl Steinitz, who was a Ph.D. from MIT who got interested in computing and computer graphics and then took on the development of software graphics systems called synapse and GRID, and GRID was designed to do raster geoprocessing work and raster mapping.
Carl's interest, initially, was in urban planning but he became a professor of landscape architecture and taught there for about 40 years. The lab for computer graphics pioneered computer mapping, initially with printer maps and later plotter maps and so on. But it also pioneered geographic analysis or spatial analysis, where you would do map overlays to do interpretive mapping. Carl's work largely involved urban simulation, urban plans, visual planning, and landscape planning with computers.
Was Carl consciously incorporating [landscape architect] Ian McHarg's work, was there a connection between those two or were they completely separate?
Carl certainly knew of Ian. And Ian would come to Harvard occasionally and give talks. If you take a step back, there were several big landscape planners. One of which was Phil Lewis who had an approach called corridor mapping, an approach that was out of Wisconsin and then Ian was out of Penn, he did the plastic overlay, thematic mapping approach. There was a guy down in Australia called Christian - two of them actually, Stewart and Christian - they did terrain mapping and an integrated approach for resource planning. There was a guy up in Canada named Angus Hill.
Those guys sort of preceded computers. They did landscape analysis, landscape planning. Carl came at this from an urban planning and computer mapping perspective and certainly used Ian's approach of map overlay as one of the application areas.
The second big home for GIS's origin was Roger Tomlinson in Canada. Roger created the first geographic information system in the world. It was called the Canadian Geographic Information System or CGIS... It was not focused on design. It was focused on inventory and interpretation of geography and was designed to put into a computer all the resource inventories for all of Canada. Things like soils, water, forests, ag lands and then to do interpretations of those for regional planning.
The third origin wasn't really GIS. It was computerized mapping. That was David Dickmore over in the UK. And then there were probably a dozen other ones, people who did what I like to call computational geography.
They were experimenting with the use of computers and maps and models and analytics. They started a kind of revolution in geography, sometimes referred to as quantitative geography. They invented projection systems with mathematical tools. They developed computerized ways to look at spatial interaction between populations. Bill Warns was an example of that.
Another famous theoretician was Waldo Tobler, who is still alive, a very famous quantitative geographer. Duane Marble invented some of the first transportation models. Britt Harris, was also a transportation modeler.
All these guys were working in pockets of isolation, once in awhile publishing a paper. But they all contributed and laid down a lot of the theory and foundation for what ultimately became geographic information systems.
In the 60's I was at Harvard, I was influenced heavily by Carl, his whole quantitative approach, and by Howard Fisher. I moved back here [Redlands, Cal. - Ed.] in the late 60s and started ESRI which for the first ten years was focused entirely on GIS projects. We didn't call them that at the time, we were assisting some landscape architectural firms like EDAW and citing some transmission lines or in other cases we were doing project work.
So you were operating as consultants and not software developers per se?
Yes but we had several programmers. We wrote some of our own software, initially, for our project work. And very gradually we built that software up. But it's what I would call today homemade software, primarily focused on doing projects. And these projects got larger.
We started with things like locating ski runs or locating a transmission line corridor or locating a new town or doing a coastal zone plan. We ourselves weren't doing the planning work but we were doing all the mapping work for the landscape architects and planners who would subsequently incorporate the maps into their actual designs.
After about four or five years, agencies began to get intrigued by the idea of digitizing the maps and then using this GIS system that we would develop on an ongoing basis to have living plans, so that they would continue to use and reuse the same information for different kinds of applications.
At that time there were three basic technologies, there were image processing tools, for capturing and processing remote sensing data, there was CAD, computerized mapping, computerized graphic technologies based on design software, then there was GIS software, which we were one of many who were trying to develop tools that would work in that space. After about ten years, many of these customers, some of them were whole states or whole countries, asked us, could you please give us your software. So we had to disseminate our software as open source mode.
And when was that?
That was in the late 70s, and the result was not very good because you'd have to have a
programmer to run these tools. So after a few years users asked if we could have a user meeting, which we did in 1980. We had 11 attendees from different countries and different agencies. And at that time they were quite interested in us becoming a software provider instead of just consulting.
So we shifted our philosophy from being a computer mapping group that would support planners to the idea of building actual software that would be well engineered. Because at that time our software was not well-engineered at all, it was basically built with project funding and for project work, largely by ourselves. We decided to do it.
Very gradually we re-engineered our software thanks to some really brilliant software engineers here. It took about a year and a half and we came out with our first version of ArcInfo. ArcInfo didn't do very much in the beginning, but what it did, it did it very well. Further development was driven over the years by the user meetings which has grown into our yearly users conference attended by more than 14,000 users last year. Each year our users come together and give us feedback on what we do and we tell them what we're doing to add new features and functions to the tools based on their direction.
We have gone through many cycles here starting on minicomputers and then we moved over to workstations and then into PC versions of our software. And now the whole thing is morphing over to the web.
This past summer, we released ArcGIS online, which has about 100,000 maps from all over the world. [It's] kind of what you might call Facebook for mapping. People make their own GIS maps and upload them and then other people can search and discover and download those maps or use them in a web environment. Also, there are many web services like what you'd see in some of the consumer mapping and visualization tools from Microsoft or Google. So the Web is our fourth software platform.
So did you see the real growth occurring when you switched from workstations to PC?
Yes, with each step. When we were focused on minicomputers we had probably about 600 to 700 customers. When we went to workstations, we went to thousands of customers, both individual users and organizational customers. When we went to PCs it again went up orders of magnitude. Today we have about 300,000 organizations who use our software, maybe a million seats in the desktop space.
And what we're seeing as we move to the web is a similar phenomenon. But instead of one order of magnitude it's going to be multiple orders. Today, people are using ArcGIS online to make millions of maps a day. Some maps are quite simple, just a topo map or some dots on maps, but people are also creating mashups using GIS. And they're really easy to do, if you have some time and you're technically literate, just go to ArcGIS online and you can find maps and play around with them.
And what fields, or what professions, have you found use GIS the most?
What I want to say is that the field has been dominated largely by geographers and planners, foresters, water engineers, policemen, crime analysts. In other words, specialists. There are at least twenty-five different specialty user types. A couple of years ago, my colleagues and I began to realize that we had drifted away from design. So we started to work on something we call geodesign.
Landscape architecture is basically geodesign, it's designing geography. And yet geodesign is not only done by landscape architects, it's done by some of the world's largest corporations. For example, Starbucks is creating geographic strategies for where they locate or close stores. It's also being done by Walgreens and PETCO. These are all our customers. And they're… getting the geographic advantage by using GIS to look at factors and model these factors, make maps, and then they design strategies based on top of them. Foresters do the same thing and so does the military, they lay out military plans of action, strategic plans using GIS. Oil companies use geodesign, and geoengineering to make decisions about where to search for oil.
So GIS in the first years was dominated primarily by people who wanted to do inventories and interpretive mapping, like suitability mapping in a "McHargian" way. But the last couple of years we've been trying to pioneer sketching tools that allow people to sketch on top of GIS maps and very quickly analyze the implication or the impacts of different sketched alternatives. This can allow a designer to incorporate all the science information of the GIS and very quickly look at alternative plans and understand their implications or the consequences of these plans.
Landscape architecture is all about that right now. But it's a new concept for many fields, fields that don't really have the design discipline integrated into them. So I have high hopes that GIS will become increasingly relevant for landscape architects as we make the tools easier to use for the design process of just inventory and mapping. But I also have great hopes that all fields that do work with geography will be impacted by this geographic approach of incorporating science into the way we evaluate and ultimately make decisions about our future.
So it sounds like you're trying to move GIS toward enabling a collaborative process where various users can access different functions toward an end product?
Well, like I said, a lot of GIS has been about making beautiful maps and interpreting maps and doing suitability maps like you'd do with overlays. Then they'd get out the tracing paper and lay it on top of these maps to do the design. What we're doing is building the sketching, design tools right into the GIS software. So that literally as you sketch, you're doing it digitally and you're able to overlay digitally these sketches on the other layers of information in the GIS.
Like I'm going to put some houses here - what's the runoff? I'm going to put change the land use here, what's the increase in traffic, what's the loss of biodiversity, what's the increase in jobs, what's the accessibility of the population to commercial institutions, what's the market potential of this location? All of those are, design/evaluation iterations.
Basically what we're building into the base tool is the ability to do that. And we can do that now on the desktop pretty easily. What we're doing is working on doing it on the web so that you can do same-client sketching on top of maps and quickly evaluate the consequences.
So in general currently what do you see as the most important or frequent tasks or functions performed by practicing landscape architects using GIS that couldn't be performed with other applications?
Well I think the small firms rarely use GIS. They use CAD to do their drafting work or
presentation work. But most small firms actually just don't have enough business to do GIS. Specialty firms do. Some have chosen to say "I'm going to use GIS technology to distinguish my practice." And some of those are doing quite well. There are a number out here on the west coast that do [use GIS], there are some up in Canada, there's EDAW.
And then there's the mid to large-size firms which actually have a GIS practice, and they've done very well by taking landscape approaches to doing regional planning work, and the engagements there are with agencies like forestry or parks or the Army Corps who actually know GIS and they want a more quantitative approach.
People typically use GIS when they have a lot of complexity in the landscape they're studying, when they need to look at a lot of alternatives, where they have to have quantitative information that describes their design. Where they have citizen scrutiny or other agencies' scrutiny or they really have to provide evaluations of the quantitative impacts of their results. Or large areas where it's just impossible to do it any other way but by computer.
So for students just graduating from a landscape architecture program, how essential or how valuable do you think it is for them to have GIS skills, or at least an awareness of how it works?
I think if they're going into public service it's very valuable. Like in government agencies or the forest service or park service or regional planning agencies. Because those organizations basically are doing everything using GIS. In private practice, if you're going to a large firm, my assertion would be that it would be a very valuable skill, it would be a distinguishing skill.
If you're going into a small practice of a dozen people you'll find sometimes that skill being practiced heavily and other times [the attitude is] "Oh, that's kind of a neat idea, but you know, the customer's really looking for the landscape plan, the planting plan, a more traditional approach," I'm not suggesting that it's not great work, it's just different work than the GIS practice.
And as far as . . . the education aspect of it . . . from your perspective is it being, is GIS covered enough in landscape architecture programs? Do you think it should be emphasized more?
It's not really covered very heavily in landscape architecture programs. It's used extensively in geography and forestry and increasingly in business programs. Sometimes in geology, sometimes in engineering. But very rarely in landscape architecture. Harvard, Wisconsin, Illinois, and a few other programs have it but it's not taught extensively at this point.
So people have to take an elective course on the side to pick up some skills. But if you look to the future of landscape architecture I think it's a very valuable skill. I got into it, really, by chance, and I'd suggest that if you don't like it, don't do it. I'd say don't do anything that you're not attracted to.
So within the profession it's safe to say that you could carve out a niche without GIS skills if you're just not interested in that?
Oh, I think that that's done by thousands of professionals. So it's not an essential skill. If you're doing landscape planning at the landscape level, if you're doing detailed designs, around buildings and campuses it may not be necessary at all.
But do you see it becoming more important in the future as far as for landscape architects?
Here's the situation. Landscape architecture teaches someone the ability to design based on information. That's not a skill that's taught in most professions. It's not taught in forestry . . . Design is not taught outside of the arts in virtually any other field. Landscape designers are certainly not taught the ability to lay out landscape plans or geographic plans – it's a skill that's unique to landscape architecture. So landscape designers, and I'm talking about plant designers, landscape planners, that skill is very valuable in other fields, beyond the traditional role of landscape architecture.
And getting back to GIS I'm just wondering, do you see that there's elements within the software's capabilities that are relatively unknown amongst landscape architects that could be better utilized?
GIS professionals who are landscape architects usually know most about what the GIS technology does. [But] does the rank and file landscape architect know of the power of GIS? No. I think it's limited to a relatively small percentage, probably just the major part of ten percent.

LAS VEGAS (AP) — Two police officers were "simply having lunch" at a strip mall pizza buffet in Las Vegas when a man and a woman fatally shot them in point-blank ambush, then fled to a nearby Walmart where they killed a third person and then themselves in an apparent suicide pact, authorities said.
The attack at a CiCi's Pizza restaurant Sunday killed Officers Alyn Beck, 41, and Igor Soldo, 31, who are both husbands and fathers. One of the shooters yelled, "This is a revolution," but a motive remains under investigation, Las Vegas police spokesman Larry Hadfield told The Associated Press.
"It's a tragic day," Sheriff Doug Gillespie said at a news conference Sunday afternoon. "But we still have a community to police, and we still have a community to protect. We will be out there doing it with our heads held high, but with an emptiness in our hearts."
For added safety, officers who normally work alone will be paired up with another officer for a time, Gillespie said.
The deadly rampage in the aging shopping center about five miles northeast of the Las Vegas Strip took place in a matter of minutes. Police were called at 11:22 a.m. to the pizzeria, where one of the officers was able to fire back at his assailants. It's unclear whether he hit them, Gillespie said.
Shots were reported five minutes later at a nearby Wal-Mart, where the shooters gunned down a person just inside the front door and exchanged gunfire with police before killing themselves, police said.
The female suspect shot the male suspect before killing herself, Gillespie said. The victim's identity hasn't been confirmed, and the suspects' names haven't been released.
Both officers were pronounced dead at University Medical Center. Beck had been with the department since 2001 and leaves behind a wife and three children. Soldo had been with the force since 2006 and is survived by a wife and baby, police said.
He was described as a good father and a "great guy" by his sister-in-law, Colleen Soldo of Beatrice, Nebraska. She said he attended high school in Lincoln, Nebraska, and previously worked as a corrections officer.
Sheree Burns, 48, told the Las Vegas Sun she was eating at the restaurant, seated just behind the two officers.
A man came up to one of the officers and shot him in the head, Burns said. She said she ducked under her table but peeked up and saw the other officer being shot.
She said the man took an officer's handgun and the two attackers fled.

Parallel CommentariesMatthew Henry's Concise Commentary
4:1-7 The best of men would faint, if they did not receive mercy from God. And that mercy which has helped us out, and helped us on, hitherto, we may rely upon to help us even to the end. The apostles had no base and wicked designs, covered with fair and specious pretences. They did not try to make their ministry serve a turn. Sincerity or uprightness will keep the favourable opinion of wise and good men. Christ by his gospel makes a glorious discovery to the minds of men. But the design of the devil is, to keep men in ignorance; and when he cannot keep the light of the gospel of Christ out of the world, he spares no pains to keep men from the gospel, or to set them against it. The rejection of the gospel is here traced to the wilful blindness and wickedness of the human heart. Self was not the matter or the end of the apostles' preaching; they preached Christ as Jesus, the Saviour and Deliverer, who saves to the uttermost all that come to God through him. Ministers are servants to the souls of men; they must avoid becoming servants to the humours or the lusts of men. It is pleasant to behold the sun in the firmament; but it is more pleasant and profitable for the gospel to shine in the heart. As light was the beginning of the first creation; so, in the new creation, the light of the Spirit is his first work upon the soul. The treasure of gospel light and grace is put into earthen vessels. The ministers of the gospel are subject to the same passions and weaknesses as other men. God could have sent angels to make known the glorious doctrine of the gospel, or could have sent the most admired sons of men to teach the nations, but he chose humbler, weaker vessels, that his power might be more glorified in upholding them, and in the blessed change wrought by their ministry.
Pulpit Commentary
Verse 5. - For we preach not ourselves. There is no glory or illumination on our faces, and we have no personal ends to gain, nor are we "lords" over your faith. This is, perhaps, meant as an answer to some charge of egotism. The Lord; rather, as Lord (Philippians 2:11; 1 Corinthians 12:3). Your servants; literally, your slaves (1 Corinthians 9:19). For Jesus' sake. So Christ had himself desired (Matthew 20:27).
Gill's Exposition of the Entire Bible
For we preach not ourselves,.... These words contain a reason why the apostles behaved themselves in the manner described, 2 Corinthians 4:2 and serve to explain in what sense this inspired writer is to be understood, when he calls the Gospel our Gospel, 2 Corinthians 4:3 and most clearly proves the Gospel to be a glorious one, which he had asserted, 2 Corinthians 4:4 since Christ, and not themselves, is the subject of it, "for we preach not ourselves". They did not preach any doctrine of their own devising; they did not set up themselves as lords over the faith and consciences of men; nor was their view in preaching to set forth their learning, parts, and eloquence, or to amass wealth and riches to themselves; nor did they assert the purity of human nature, or the power of man to do anything of himself that is spiritually good; or that justification and salvation are by works of righteousness done by men. To do any, or each, or all of these, as did the false apostles, is to preach a man's self: but so did not these faithful dispensers of the word, but they
preached Christ Jesus the Lord; that is, the doctrines respecting the person, office, and grace of Christ; as that he is truly and properly God, the eternal and only begotten Son of God, God and man in one person, the only Mediator between God and man, and the Saviour and Redeemer of lost sinners; that Jesus of Nazareth is the Christ, the true Messiah; and that this Christ is Jesus, a Saviour, the only able and willing one; and that this Jesus Christ is "Lord" of all, especially of the saints; not only as Creator, but as their head, husband, and Redeemer; that peace and reconciliation, pardon and righteousness, life and salvation, are only by him: and they also declared themselves the servants of the churches,
and ourselves your servants. The apostle does not say they were the servants of Christ, though they were, and esteemed it their greatest honour to be so; for he had no need to observe this, since this is included in their preaching him as "Lord": nor does he say they were the servants of men, or menpleasers, for then they would not be the servants of Christ; but he asserts them to be the servants of the churches: and which must be understood, not with respect to things temporal, with which they had no concern; but with regard to things spiritual, particularly to the ministration of the word, and administration of ordinances: and this they professed to be,
for Jesus' sake; either for the sake of preaching Christ unto them; or because they were chosen and called by him to this service, and in which they were willing to continue, for the sake of his honour and interest.
Jamieson-Fausset-Brown Bible Commentary
5. For—Their blindness is not our fault, as if we had self-seeking aims in our preaching.
preach … Christ … the Lord—rather, "Christ as Lord," and ourselves as your servants, etc. "Lord," or "Master," is the correlative term to "servants."
2 Corinthians 4:5 Additional Commentaries
The Light of the Gospel
…4in whose case the god of this world has blinded the minds of the unbelieving so that they might not see the light of the gospel of the glory of Christ, who is the image of God. 5For we do not preach ourselves but Christ Jesus as Lord, and ourselves as your bond-servants for Jesus' sake. 6For God, who said, "Light shall shine out of darkness," is the One who has shone in our hearts to give the Light of the knowledge of the glory of God in the face of Christ.

Questions on Planning the Wedding Day
My fiancé is being really relaxed about timings on our wedding day. I'm trying to put together a running order of the day, whereas he's saying that it will all just happen... am I being too bossy? Joy, Brighton
You are being very sensible! It is important that the best man, chief usher and chief bridesmaid know what's supposed to happen when. Things may not run entirely to schedule, but a timetable of the day will ensure that things run smoothly. It is also very useful for your caterer, photographer etc too.

I love bright colours and am thinking of choosing a bold colour theme for my wedding. Is it ok to break with conventional pastel shades and go for orange or red? How can I make it work and not look horribly out of place? Caroline, Frome
Many brides decide to opt for an unusual colour to make their day really stand out. Orange or red is good option because there are plenty of suitably shaded flowers. You could also match the bridesmaid's dresses, your bouquet, the buttonholes and details such as ribbons, confetti, candles and place settings. Remember, however, for maximum impact and style, keep a sense of balance.
Related Debrett's links: Style and Theme
I'm trying to draw up a budget for the wedding day. A friend has told me to look out for hidden costs and to keep some money back for emergencies. What sort of things should I be looking out for? Vanessa, Hackney
The first thing to remember is that most of your quotes for flowers, venue/marquee, cars, catering etc will come without VAT. So, make sure you allow for the extra percentage to be added onto the final balance. It is sensible to keep some money in the pot because you will find that costs creep up, and there is always something else to pay for or buy. This might be minor costs on decorations or accessories, or might be a more significant amount as you make final decisons on food and drink.
Related Debrett's Links: Money, Budgeting, Costs
Do I need to bother with wedding insurance? Mark, London
It is essential you get wedding insurance. As a lot of money is involved with planning a wedding, and the majority of the payements required before the day, a policy should be organised as soon as the date is set and before any suppliers are booked. There are plenty of reasonably priced packages availible, as well as bespome options if you have special requirements.
Related Debrett's Links: Wedding Insurance
My son is getting married and his fiancé wants the theme to be black and red and I am mortified! She is to carry a bouquet of red roses, the bridesmaids are wearing long black satin dresses and the male wedding party are to wear white tie evening tail suits, the wedding is at 2pm. Apparently the bride's mother is wearing all black, a long dress, and they are wanting other guests to follow suit. In my book this is terribly unlucky and bad form... am I being a stick in the mud? Kimberley
Modern weddings often adopt unusual themes and dress codes. This may not be to everyone's taste, but many couples want to create a day that is different to more traditional weddings. The invitation or information sent with the invite should inform guests that there is an unusual dress code. It is sensible for you, as the mother of the groom, to liaise with the mother of the bride to check that you will be suitably dressed on the day, and to ensure that you will co-ordinate with the rest of the wedding party.

What should the grooms parents pay for? Brian
Nowadays, there is no set etiquette on wedding costs. Traditionally, the bride's family bears the cost, but this is by no means expected today. Often, the groom's parents will pay for a certain element of the day - e.g. the dress, the wine. Alternatively, they may just write a cheque towards the total cost of the wedding. Equally, many couples decide to pay for the entire day themselves. Often, the wedding is paid for by a combination of both sets of parents and the couple.

When I used to think of myself as a missionary, I was obsessed with converting Muslims (or anybody for that matter) to what I thought of as "Christianity." I had a set of doctrinal litmus tests that the potential convert had to pass before I would consider them "in" or one of "us."
Funny thing is, Jesus never said, "Go into the world and convert people to Christianity." What he said was, "Go and make disciples of all nations."
Encouraging anyone and everyone to become an apprentice of Jesus, without manipulation, is a more open, dynamic and relational way of helping people who want to become more like Jesus — regardless of their religious identity.

Steve Michalik en
Steve Michalik (January 8, 1949 – May 24, 2012) was a bodybuilder most active during the 1970s and '80s. He won a number of titles including the 1971 AAU Mr. USA, the Mr. America in 1972 and the NABBA Mr. Universe in 1975 as well as 22 other titles including the 1971 AAU Mr. Apollo and the Most Muscular Man in the USA. Shortly after the 1975 Mr Universe, Michalik was involved in a serious car accident which left him paralyzed from the waist down and relegated to a wheel chair for 3 years. At the 1980 IFBB Miami Grand Prix event, Michalik made a comeback to the stage, where television commentator Arnold Schwarzenegger introduced him as the Phantom Bodybuilder. Placing 4th in the event qualified him for the newly formed Grand Prix tour. According to Michalik, he suffered many serious health problems due to his steroid use. It started with him passing blood in his urine; a sign of the multiple liver tumors doctors later discovered. After recovering from these bouts with cancer Michalik suffered a heart attack, followed by a stroke. Since then, he was against the use of steroids. Michalik died on May 24, 2012. He was 63. [ - ]
