I have just taken delivery of my first order, and I clean forgot to think about asking for the yarn to be wound into balls. I can of course wind some balls myself (or rather my partner has a wondeful skill in this very area!!), but do other people knit straight from the cone?

I just knit from the cones too! If is a wool or cashmere fiber,I wash my tension swatch and use those measurements. I've never bothered to wash the yarn before knitting with it. I like wet blocking after knitting as it smooths out the tension.

Washing Cashmere 30% 70% merino
Tuesday 05 October 2010 11:51:57 pm
I understand that you are suppose to wash the cashmere/merino yarn (30% Cashmere, 70% merino wool) before knitting. What is the proces? I just received mine for the first time today in a cone. Do I unravel it off the cone and then dunk it in water with soap and lay it out as a skein or ball to dry??????? I bought mine to make a regular scarf out of it. Would appreciate any instructions and/or comments as I am new to cashmere and this company. You can email me at email@example.com Thanks!

I too have just taken delivery of my first order and knitted 2 swatches, one straight from the cone, the other I made a small skein, pre-washed and then knitted, on the same size needles. The first 4 inch square shrank to 3inches in length after washing. O.K., we're supposed to wash the swatch before checking tension but this only works if the length of the garment is measured in rows, not in inches. The result of the first after shrinkage was like a machine knit, very fine, but still attractive, I would use this method for some projects but not for all. The second swatch turned out as one would expect from a balled yarn. (Sorry, i don't have a pic to upload) I suggest you experiment with a few swatches, using different needle sizes, and washing before and after knitting, and find what works best for you. Mine was 70% merino/30% cashmere so I expect the shrinkage was much greater than you would get with other yarns. Hope this helps.

Unwinding the yarn horizontally prevents any twist buildup . If you can find a horizontal bar that will fit the cone use that. I have a tablet weaving loom with dowels and am using it for one or 2 color knitting but a paper towel dispenser is good too, provided the cone fits in.

Help with identifying yarn
Tuesday 21 October 2008 3:58:19 pm
I've inherited a lg cone of yarn that is only labeled 5/33/2 wool. I'm assuming the "2" refers to the ply but the other numbers are a mystery. I've never knitted with any yarn so fine but since I've got it I may as well jump in and give it a try. Any help will be very much appreciated. Thank you.

I just finished an outrageously beautiful sweater using a strand of the angora/lambswool and a strand of the DK merino held together. When I receive my yarn orders that are cones, I always wind them into skeins on my swift, tie them in several places and wash them. I use Dawn dish soap to wash (This is to ensure all oils are gone) and then my final rinse is with Snuggle fabric softener - not only makes the yarn even softer, it smells yummy. Then hang to dry in front of a fan. Then I have to wind them back into balls - but by then, my yarn is clean, super fluffy, pre-shrunk and smells great. I have found that without washing first, my gauge can be wrong, since the yarn blooms so nicely after it's washed. I enjoy reading all of your tips and seeing the beautiful pictures! Danette

Hard to believe only six weeks left in the season that I wait 30 weeks to start. Some nice matchups this week., none more so in our house as the Saints traveling to the Black Hole to take on the Oakland Raiders. Football Savant Offspring what's tickets so armed with his trusted Kodak EasyShare, I am hoping to post a live action shot of the winner in next week's column instead of stock footage of happy quarterbacks.
So sit back wherever you are – it's definitely a great sports day — the last race of the NASCAR season is taking place at Homestead, Florida – and at least this year it won't be applied by Moochelle Obama showing up to pretend she cares about the military and hog the spotlight. The 2012 champion will either be Bred Kesolowski or Jimmie Johnson and since I don't like either one, I think I'll instead be focusing my attention here:
Cardinals@ Falcons
Buccaneers @ Panthers
Browns @ Cowboys
Jaguars @ Texans
Bengals @ Chiefs
Jets @ Rams
Eagles @ Redskins
Packers @ Detroit
Saints @ Raiders
Colts @ Patriots
Chargers @ Broncos
Ravens @ Steelers
Monday Night Game
Bears @ 49ers
Update – driving back from Flyboys in Livermore this a.m., I was routinely flipped off by Raider fans on the way to the game as they passed me. Couldn't figure out why until I got home and remembered the "New Orleans Saints" license plate holder on the back of my car.

MSU, off for the holidays since defeating Central Arkansas on Dec. 22 in Jackson, is 4-0 all-time against the Bulldogs, with the last meeting resulting in a 100-58 win in December of 2002.
"It's good to finally be back at home in front of our fans," said MSU coach Rick Ray, whose team is 4-6 and looking to win two straight for the first time this season. "We've had a good week of practice, and I know our guys are ready to get back at it."
In their last outing, the Bulldogs claimed a 79-72 win against the Bears. Forward Gavin Ware paced MSU with career highs in points (22) and rebounds (13) en route to earning SEC Freshman of the Week honors.
He was one of five MSU players to score in double digits, and on the year he's 12th in the league with his 7.1 rebounds.
Offensively, sophomore forward Roquez Johnson leads the Bulldogs in scoring with his 12.8 clip, followed by freshman guard Fred Thomas at 10.8.
Alabama A&M enters the game 3-7 after dropping a 95-68 decision to Arkansas. The Bulldogs are led in scoring and rebounding by Demarquelle Tabb at 12.3 and 10.1, respectively. He had 15 points against the Razorbacks, while Jeremy Crutcher had a team-high 16 points.
Sunday also serves as a homecoming for the CSS broadcasting team of Richard Williams and Shane Power. The two will serve as analyst, with Mike Morgan handling the play-by-play.
Williams served as MSU's head coach from 1987-1998, where he won what was then a school record 191 games. His crowning achievement came in 1996 when the Bulldogs advanced to the Final Four.
Power played for MSU form 2004-05 and averaged 10.4 points and 4.2 rebounds. In 2004, the Bulldogs won the regular-season SEC crown with a 14-2 record.
After Sunday, the Bulldogs return to action on Thursday, Jan. 3 against New Orleans at the Hump, a game that will also be televised by CSS.

What's hot right now?
The hottest point of my summer this year will be drinking Campari and soda while playing (cheat) croquet with my dad as the sun cools down in the south of France, wearing beaten up old espadrilles and a Chanel cruise romper suit to complete the moment.
What makes London design/fashion distinctive?
It is all about a unique level of creativity in this city, and I think it all starts with the way we are taught in London art schools. When I was at Central St. Martins, we were pushed to think in a way that opposed whatever was currently selling or "in." This translates to a focus on freedom in design rather than pushing for immediate financial success. Platforms like NewGen and Fashion East support this mentality for young designers. They help them branch out alone and secure their fresh visions rather than joining the more established fashion houses. The end goal may be to have a thriving business, but to start sticking a finger up to advertisers and corporate giants allows a young designer to have their own voice…and then they can do a line for Top Shop!
What are some of your favorite films for inspiration?
I guess inspiration is a cumulative process from stuff that transfixed you as a child, to stuff we hunt on YouTube now. So from the old to the new: Sesame Street animations still appeal to me for their stripped down visuals and sound. Jan Svankmajer's Alice—or actually anything by Svankmejer for its mix of the surreal and glitchy stop motion that borders on the macabre. Labyrinth might be my all time favorite film: Jim Henson crossed with magical Bowie moments. More recently, Grizzly Bear's music video for "While We Wait for the Others" by Grandchildren. I think I saw this when I was finishing at college, and it made me a bit angry because it was exactly the sort of work I wished I was doing. Also, Iris by Barnaby Roper. Roper is my favorite fashion filmmaker. He has a gift for visualizing how movement can be dissected and spliced to bring a sort of dynamism to his style of fashion photography. 90% of fashion photographers can't (and really shouldn't!) make this transition.

Apparently, 4711 by Muelhens ($20) is one of the world's oldest fragrance recipes still in use dating back to 1792. That's cool. We always wanted to smell like George Washington's mistress, lack of contemporary hygiene standards and all.
Guyz! No indeed! 4711 has a heavenly citrus smell that is......heavenly. Also, as it started in Germany and was mainly popular in Europe, I don't think George knew of it. Napoleon, though - that's another story.
I agree with Pamela! The reason this perfume has been around for soooo freakin' long is because it really does smell amazing. Love this stuff. And the bottle is super cute.
My mom has worn this longer than I have been alive (34 years now). I always enjoyed the scent am am happy to know that I can expect to see it around long after she is gone.

VIENNA – The Washington State University women's basketball team continues its 10-day foreign trip to Austria, Slovakia and Czech Republic with stops at Schönbrunn Palace and Prater Amusement Park Aug. 8.
Throughout the Cougars' travels in Europe, seniors Brandi Thomas, Sage Romberg, and Hana Potter will be keeping a players' blog of their thoughts and activities. Below is an entry from Brandi Thomas, recapping the day's events.
"This is Brandi Thomas checking in wanting to give you all an update of our first full day in Vienna!
Today we went on a tour to the Schönbrunn Palace! The architecture was absolutely amazing inside and outside. Outside there were gardens, trees, and fountains all spread out over what was considered the "backyard" of the palace. During the tour we were able to view all of the rooms on only the single floor! The paintings and detail in each room were incredible. They gave us little machines to listen to the history of each room, which was really awesome. I can't believe how many famous people are from Austria! I stood in a room that Mozart played in!!
The culture here is quite different than the usual norm that most of us are use to. The streets are extremely clean, the taxis are Mercedes Benz, and the architecture of every building is unbelievable! I am almost always getting run over by all of the bikers on the streets. I guess that's what I get for always walking in the bike lane! The drivers here show no mercy towards pedestrians. They're always driving full speed ahead and slamming their brakes at the last possible second. Good thing we brought enough girls to Europe!
We definitely fit the tourist profile very well! While we are taking pictures of everything in sight, other people are busy taking pictures of us. Maybe because of the fact that we're so tall! Can't wait to have a day full of shopping tomorrow!"
Photos from the trip can be found here.

Since the early spring, there have been 11 sexual assaults, including one rape, in Park Slope and surrounding neighborhoods.
In response the NYPD has released information about at least three suspects, including multiple videos and composite sketches, and increased police presence in the area. While we applaud the police for taking the attacks seriously, neighborhood residents are concerned with some aspects of the police response.
The Wall Street Journal reports that officers are telling women not to wear shorts or skirts to prevent being assaulted. This is victim-blaming, not prevention. This approach is indicative of a police force that is effectively disconnected from the community and unaffected by the current outcry and mass mobilizations against rape and victim blaming provoked by a Toronto police officer's declaration that "women should avoid dressing like sluts in order not to be victimized."
Safe Slope, a Brooklyn-based collective formed in response to the attacks, recently chronicled additional worrying NYPD behavior, including:
– Officers following women home at night without communicating with them and showing video of the attacks to residents without warning, both practices that are frightening and triggering to sexual assault survivors.
– Only providing information about the assaults to women, which sends the message that men and genderqueer people aren't sexually assaulted – a dangerous myth – and that sexual assault prevention is a women's issue rather than the responsibility of the entire community.
– Only providing prevention and information materials in English, which prevents non-English speaking members of the community from receiving safety tips and information they need to protect themselves.
These missteps are the latest examples of a police department that is unprepared to responsibly and effectively prevent rape and sexual assault. A police force that is hurting those it is supposed to protect, particularly some of the most vulnerable members of society, is an outrage and an affront to the civil and human rights of all and requires action at all levels. Systemic victim-blaming leaves all people, but especially historically marginalized members of society, more susceptible to violence and arrest when they report rape or sexual assault to the police. We must build an analysis of police behavior, recklessness, lack of sensitivity and lack of adequate training as a systemic problem that has a significantly negative impact on those affected by violence and their communities.
In two recent incidents, two NYPD officers were accused of rape – and convicted of official misconduct for repeatedly entering the home of a woman without cause – and another officer was apprehended while committing a sexual assault. Videos have also been circulating of police violence at the Occupy Wall Street protests, adding to public mistrust of the NYPD and its motives, tactics, and actions.
We, the undersigned, call on Commissioner Ray Kelly to enact these steps immediately in regard to the situation in Park Slope:
– Immediately order sensitivity training for all officers assigned to work on the Park Slope case, to be completed by October 15th
– Ensure officers provide information about sexual assaults and prevention in Spanish and other languages reflective of community needs
– Ensure information on sexual assault be provided to individuals who are not female-bodied people
– Insist NYPD officers identify themselves and inform people who are being followed home
We further call on Commissioner Kelly to:
– Insist all NYPD officers complete mandatory sensitivity training by January 1st, 2012.
– Facilitate a safe and violence-free SlutWalk in New York City on Saturday October 1, 2011 with zero instances of police brutality or unwarranted police force.

it doesn't matter what a woman wears, if a man is determind to rape a woman he will do regardless of her clothing. Even if a woman is a traditional housewife who is covered form her neck to her ankles and never goes out she could still be attacked – someone could attack her on the way to the shops or break into the house. Doesn't matter what kind of clothes you wear or what kind of lifestyle a woman has there will always be a risk she could be attacked by a stranger or someone she knows.
This police attitude is shocking. It's one thing Police telling women to be viglant, be aware of their surroundings, take a taxi home late at night, report any suspiscious behaviour: these also go for men as equally as they go for women. To me that is cime prevention. It is a complete urban myth that men who rape are sexually deprived – Nicholas Groth did resarch into rapists and found most weren't sexually depreived at all. The time it would be sexually motivated is with sadistic sexual predators, sick men who can only get off on rape and aren't statisfied by normal consunatial sex.

Oct. 14 was the deadline for members of the Congress to submit recommendations to the so-called super committee on how to identify $1.2 trillion in 10-year savings. The ideas flowing in from both the House and Senate appear to be rather wide-ranging -- from raising revenue by licensing Internet gambling, to saving money by releasing prisoners early if they learn to read or requiring the secretary of the Treasury Department to fly commercial.
But most seemed predictably disappointing. As the Wall Street Journal put it: "The recommendations . . . amounted to little more than a road map to the political obstacles the super committee members face as they labor behind closed doors to reach an agreement on reducing budget deficits . . ."

Whether treating a toddler in an emergency or supporting a teen through chemotherapy treatments, we are dedicated to the care of each patient. It's through teamwork at every level of Children's Healthcare of Atlanta and with you, the family, that we are able to achieve excellence in pediatric care.
See more about us
With a proven track record of providing world-class care to patients in more than 30 pediatric specialties, we are a model for other pediatric hospitals. Infants, teens and young adults belong in a children's hospital where they can get specialized treatment from caregivers who know the important differences between children and adults.
See our clinical services
Research is a cornerstone of the Children's Healthcare of Atlanta mission to enhance the lives of children. In conjunction with Emory University School of Medicine, Georgia Tech and Morehouse, Children's seeks answers to the most challenging childhood medical conditions through teaching and research.
We all want happy, healthy kids. But as a busy parent, helping your kids eat well and stay active can be a challenge.
At Strong4Life, created by Children's Healthcare of Atlanta, our doctors, nutritionists and wellness experts create fun, easy ways to help your kids eat, move and live healthier. From picky eaters to passionate gamers, we have a slew of simple tips by experts who understand, because we're parents, too.
As a not-for-profit organization, Children's Healthcare of Atlanta relies on the generous financial and volunteer support of our community. Your donations directly impact the lives of each family served by Children's and support many initiatives such as clinical excellence, research, teaching, wellness and charity care.
Sending a smile is quick and easy. The Children's SmileGram program offers friends and family members of our patients the opportunity to send a message of cheer to their loved one. Send a smile today.
The faith and spiritual practices of patients and families are often a source of strength and hope during a hospital stay. Our chaplains are trained to respond to the spiritual needs of patients in the hospital setting. Chaplains provide spiritual support and guidance to patients and families as they seek healing, meaning and hope through the experience of illness or recovery from injury.
Chaplains share their responsibilities by rotating roles throughout the week to make sure someone is available for spiritual support 24 hours a day, seven days a week.
They can be seen making rounds with caregivers, sitting quietly at a patient's bedside or responding to traumas in the emergency department. They also perform interfaith worship services in the hospital chapels.
Chaplains are often called upon to be with families in their moments of greatest joy and deepest sadness. They celebrate baptisms, blessings, recoveries and birthdays with families. They provide bereavement support, conduct funerals and memorial services and may help families talk through the delicate subject of organ/tissue/eye donation.
Chaplains respond to patient and/or family requests for various religious rituals. We perform such rituals or make contact with an appropriate clergy person or religious leader to perform them as needed. Rituals requested by patients or families may include anointing, baptism, infant dedication, communion or other rituals unique to their faith tradition.

It wasn't the most spectacular of victories and we have yet to face more formidable opponents.
But England fans did not care about that last night as they celebrated long into the night after Wayne Rooney's hair transplant -inspired triumph that put us through to the quarter finals of Euro 2012.
Roy Hodgson's boys even escaped a goal line clanger from the linesman who failed to spot a ball from Ukraine's Marko Devic crossed the line before John Terry acrobatically hooked it back and away.
Striker Rooney put his new quiff to good use by nodding in the winner two minutes into the second half after hapless defending by the hosts.
And he later revealed his secret behind the header – nicking some of fellow striker Andy Carroll's gel.
Delighted Roo said: "I used a bit of Andy hair product before the game. Hopefully I'll end up with hair like him."
It meant England finished top of the group after summit rivals France flopped to a 2-0 defeat to underdogs Sweden.
The result set up a mouthwatering clash with Italy in Sunday's quarter final.
Fans in the Ukranian stadium at Donetsk danced and sang as Johnny Cash's Ring of Fire blasted out over the loudspeakers minutes after the whistle went.
And millions of supporters watching at home and in pubs and clubs up and down the land joined in the jubilant scenes.
In the Donbass Arena they also chanted: "We're not going home."
After Manchester United star Roo's dramatic goal sent England fans wild with delight, wife Coleen tweeted: "There is lots of screaming in our house. Go Daddy."
The 26-year-old striker revealed his new Morrissey-style barnet of ginger locks, curled into a quiff from a £30,000 transplant, in training last week.
And he told celebrity crimper Daniel Johnson, who flew to Krakow to do the cut, that it would bring him goals.
After the match, Hodgson applauded the travelling army of 5,000 fans, who somehow managed to sing louder than their opponents despite being outnumbered 10 to one in the 50,000 seat stadium.
And the manager congratulated each and every one of the Three Lions.
If they can knock out Italy in Kiev on Sunday, England could face old foe Germany, who play Greece on Friday, in the semi-finals.
Fans spoke of their joy at even reaching the quarter finals.
Duncan Reid, 38, an events organiser of Clapham, South London, said: "There is a new optimism about England, a belief we can do really well, now."
Manchester cab driver Johnny Roe, 65, added: "What a performance, we can beat anyone. No one will want to play us."
Builder Paul Taylor, 41, of Luton, Beds, said: "We came into this tournament expecting nothing but now we can dare to dream of actually winning it."
London accountant James Anderson claimed Hodgson was "proving the doubters wrong".
He added: "We know we have the core of a good team now and the confidence to go further."
Steve Hardy, 55, of Newcastle, said: "I could not believe it when I saw the Sweden versus France score, it is brilliant news for us as we play Italy instead of Spain."
England goalie Joe Hart, who hugged his team-mates as they left the pitch, insisted he had not seen whether the shot from Devic crossed the line.
But he added: "I do not really care about that. I just care that we have gone through on the night."
There had been fears of crowd trouble before and after the game at the white-hot cauldron that is the Donbass Arena.
Uniformed British cops were again on patrol with their Ukranian counterparts.

I was shocked to learn of the death of one of my favorite actors, Robin Williams. The cause of death is speculated to be suicide. However, as with other beloved entertainers I choose to remember the fond memories they have brought to me and those I love.
As it probably was with many in my generation (Gen-X), I first knew of Williams as Mork from Ork in the sitcom, "Mork & Mindy". Most probably remember him easily from "Mrs. Doubtfire" -- a movie that brings fond memories of a cousin who passed away years ago. Williams is known for many more comedic gems.
While we all adored the funnyman he was, he also was a serious actor with a list of powerful roles under his belt. One of my favorites was his role as the robot Andrew in "Bicentennial Man". This probably is not one of his well-known roles but I adored him in the film. Another favorite, which earned him an Oscar, was the role of Sean Maguire in "Good Will Hunting".
If you were born before 1980, you probably remember the genius pairing of Robin Williams, Whoopi Goldberg, and Billy Crystal for the charity event, Comic Relief. While Comic Relief was about raising money to help those in need -- primarily the homeless -- the highlight was to see Williams, Goldberg, and Crystal together doing what they do best, making people laugh.
This week I am going to do what Williams' wife has asked all to do in a statement released to the New York Times' Dave Itzkoff:
"This morning, I lost my husband and my best friend, while the world lost one if its most beloved artists and beautiful human beings. I am utterly heartbroken. On behalf of Robin's family, we are asking for privacy during our time of profound grief. As he is remembered, it is our hope that the focus will not be on Robin's death but on the countless moments of joy and laughter he gave to millions."
This week I plan to watch the following Robin Williams films that have brought joy to my life:
- Bicentennial Man
- The Birdcage
- Jumanji
- Hook
- The Fisher King
- Old Dogs
- One Hour Photo (I know it is a thriller but it was a joy watching this departure for Williams)
If you enjoyed the work of Robin Williams, which of his films do you plan to watch this week in remembrance of him?

Domain of convergence of perturbative solutions for Hele-Shaw flow near interface collapse11(1999); http://dx.doi.org/10.1063/1.870139View Description Hide Description
Recent work [Phys. Fluids 10, 2701 (1998)] has shown that for Hele-Shaw flows sufficiently near a finite-time pinching singularity, there is a breakdown of the leading-order solutions perturbative in a small parameter ε controlling the large-scale dynamics. To elucidate the nature of this breakdown we study the structure of these solutions at higher order. We find a finite radius of convergence that yields a new length scale exponentially small in ε. That length scale defines a ball in space and time, centered around the incipient singularity, inside of which perturbation theory fails. Implications of these results for a possible matching of outer solutions to inner scaling solutions are discussed.
Rarefaction–undercompressive fronts in driven films11(1999); http://dx.doi.org/10.1063/1.870177View Description Hide Description
We consider experiments by Ludviksson and Lightfoot [AIChE J. 17, 1166 (1971)] on thin liquid films driven up a vertical plate by a thermally induced surface tension gradient with a counteracting gravitational force, and revisit their theoretical analysis, which neglects the effects of curvature, for predicting the climbing rate of the front. We present a new theory for the lubrication model with curvature effects, and get rising rates that depend on the microscopic length scale at the contact line. The predictions are, in general, in better agreement with the experiment.
Flow state multiplicity in convection11(1999); http://dx.doi.org/10.1063/1.870178View Description Hide Description
Pattern formation in a layer of fluid heated from below is an example of macroscopic ordering in continuous media. Here we show that in a relatively compact experimental version of the problem, a rich and diverse set of stable flows can be found. These flows, many of which are novel, can be categorized and understood in terms of their symmetry properties. This approach shows promise for providing insight into the more complicated fluid motion that occurs as the lateral dimension of the layer is increased.
New instability modes of a diffusion flame near extinction11(1999); http://dx.doi.org/10.1063/1.870140View Description Hide Description
The linear temporal stability of a diffusionflame, modeled with a simplified one-dimensional approach, in a two-dimensional mixing layer is investigated. In addition to the well-known "shear" or Kelvin–Helmholtz mode, which is also present in nonreacting flows, the current analysis reveals new "heat release" or combustion modes for flames near the extinction limit, i.e., when the Damköhler number is low. For conditions near extinction, the shear mode is found to be damped and only the combustion modes are unstable. The fundamental destabilizing mechanism of these combustion modes is elucidated.

Pressure-driven channel flows of a model liquid-crystalline polymer11(1999); http://dx.doi.org/10.1063/1.870141View Description Hide Description
Shear flows disrupt molecular orientation in liquid-crystallinepolymers(LCPs) through director tumbling, and this causes difficulty in controlling the polymer structure and properties in injection molding and extrusion. In this paper we simulate LCP channel flows using the Doi theory. A Bingham closure is used to preserve director tumbling and wagging. The objective is to examine how contractions and expansions in a channel affect LCP orientation and to explore the possibility of using the channel geometry as a means of manipulating LCP order. A finite-element method is used to solve the coupled equations for fluid flow and polymer configuration. Results show that a contraction aligns the director with the streamline and improves molecular order, while an expansion drives the director away from the flow direction and reduces molecular order. If the expansion is strong enough, an instability develops downstream as disturbances in the flow and polymer configuration reinforce each other through the polymer stress. This instability generates a wave that spans roughly the central half of the channel and propagates downstream at the centerline velocity. For abrupt contractions or expansions, disclinations of ±1/2 strength arise in the corner vortex. The numerical results agree qualitatively with experiments when comparisons can be made. In particular, the wavy pattern following a sudden expansion is remarkably similar to previous experimental observations. The simulations suggest that using contractions and expansions may be a feasible strategy for controlling LCP order and morphology in processing.
Circulation-induced shape deformations of drops and bubbles: Exact two-dimensional models11(1999); http://dx.doi.org/10.1063/1.870142View Description Hide Description
In this paper simple two-dimensional mathematical models for understanding the fluid dynamical problem of how circulation affects the free surface shapes of inviscid drops and bubbles with surface tension are presented. This theoretical paradigm is of interest in many areas of science including large-scale transport processes in chemical engineering. Exact solutions for the finite-amplitude steady-state equilibria of the mathematical models are found. Equilibrium states are shown to exist right up to steady capillary pinch-off in the case of a bubble, the bubbles just before pinch-off having large perimeter-to-area ratios.
Breakup of drops and bubbles translating through cylindrical capillaries11(1999); http://dx.doi.org/10.1063/1.870143View Description Hide Description
We examine the shape deformation and breakup of air bubbles and viscousdrops moving through vertical cylindrical capillaries under the action of pressure and/or buoyancy forces. Experimental observations of fluid particle shape are reported over a wide range of particle sizes and capillary numbers in a variety of two-phase systems. Four different modes of breakup are identified, and the critical conditions for the onset of various modes are examined. It is found that buoyancy forces can have a stabilizing effect on the breakup mechanism observed by Olbricht and Kung [Phys. Fluids 4, 134, (1992)] for low viscosity-ratio drops, wherein a growing indentation at the trailing end of the drop develops into a penetrating jet of outer phase fluid.
Axisymmetric thermal wake interaction of two bubbles in a uniform temperature gradient at large Reynolds and Marangoni numbers11(1999); http://dx.doi.org/10.1063/1.870144View Description Hide Description
An analysis is performed on the thermocapillary motion of two bubbles in a continuous phase in which a linear temperature field is imposed in the undisturbed state. The bubbles are moving in the direction of the temperature gradient and are assumed to interact axisymmetrically via the influence of the thermal wake of the leading bubble on the trailing bubble. The flow-field interaction of the bubbles is neglected. The Reynolds number of the motion is assumed to be sufficiently large that a potential flow field prevails around each bubble. The energy equation for the temperature field around the trailing bubble is solved by matched asymptotic expansions for large values of the Marangoni number. It is shown that the thermal wake of the leading bubble induces a nonmonotonic temperature field on the surface of the trailing bubble. The effective temperature gradient on the trailing bubble is weakened. Hence its migration speed is reduced compared to the case when it is isolated. This result is in qualitative agreement with experimental results for a pair of interacting drops obtained from a space flight experiment that has been reported in the literature.
Observations of shear-induced particle migration for oscillatory flow of a suspension within a tube11(1999); http://dx.doi.org/10.1063/1.870145View Description Hide Description
Suspensions of noncolloidal, neutrally buoyant, spherical particles were subjected to oscillating displacements at low Reynolds number along the axis of a circular tube. Using nuclear magnetic resonance imaging(NMRI), the phase distribution of a suspension with a particle volume fraction 0.4 was assessed for a variety of conditions. The variables studied included ratio of particle to tube diameter, amplitude of oscillation, and number of oscillations. Consistent with macroscopic theories of shear-induced particle migration, the particles preferentially moved away from the walls and to the center of the pipe for amplitudes of oscillation much greater than the particle diameter when the ratios of particle radius to tube radius were and However, for a ratio of particle radius to tube radius of the images showed that the suspension was not uniform along the tube length for an amplitude of oscillation equivalent to one pipe diameter. For a larger ratio of particle radius to tube radius of the suspension remained uniform along the pipe for similar conditions. For the smaller ratio of particle to tube radius of and an amplitude of oscillation of five particle radii, the particles migrated to the wall of the pipe as predicted by the Stokesian dynamics simulations of Morris ["Anomalous particle migration in oscillatory pressure-driven suspension flow," presented at the 1997 Annual Meeting of the AICHE (unpublished)]. These phenomena, which have not previously been observed experimentally, are not described by any existing theories of shear-induced particle migration.
Orientation distribution in a dilute suspension of fibers subject to simple shear flow11(1999); http://dx.doi.org/10.1063/1.870146View Description Hide Description
The orientation distribution in a dilute suspension of Brownian fibers subject to simple shear flow is investigated theoretically. The fiber has a large aspect ratio r and may carry charge. The flow strength is characterized by the rotary Peclet number where γ is the shear rate and D is the rotary diffusivity of the fiber. Emphasis is placed on the microstructure of the suspension in strong flows, in which the advection and diffusion are of equal importance in a small region of angular space near the flow direction. A new computational method based on a finite difference scheme is developed to calculate the orientation distribution function and then evaluate the orientation moments. For the case of uncharged rods and the obtained orientation moments compare favorably with those deduced from the spherical harmonic method. The effects of the fiber aspect ratio and charge are also investigated when they become crucial. It is found that at a given large Pe, the orientation distribution of uncharged fibers with becomes broad and its peak shifts down towards the flow axis, compared with the case of thin rods with The microstructure of a suspension of charged fibers depends on the charge distribution and the double layer thickness relative to the fiber length.
Reversing buoyancy of particle-driven gravity currents11(1999); http://dx.doi.org/10.1063/1.870147View Description Hide Description
Particle-laden flows exhibit reversing buoyancy behavior if the density of the ambient through which they propagate is greater than that of the interstitial fluid, though less than the initial bulk density of the suspension. In this case a gravity current is initiated above the underlying boundary until sufficient particles have sedimented from the flow, at which time the particle-laden fluid becomes less dense than the surrounding ambient. The buoyancy of the residual suspension reverses and it lifts off the boundary to ascend through the ambient. Such phenomena are encountered in industrial and natural situations. This study presents a laboratory investigation of finite volume releases of particle-laden fluid which undergo reversing buoyancy. A simple box model theory is proposed to describe the flow and to predict the distance from the source at which lift-off occurs. The predictions of the model agree well with both our experiments and those of previous studies. Additionally, we investigate these flows using the shallow-water equations which are analyzed using asymptotic series. These reveal the structure of the internal dynamics within the currents and predict lift-off distances which verify the validity of those obtained from the less rigorous box model.
Investigation of the Weissenberg effect in suspensions of magnetic nanoparticles11(1999); http://dx.doi.org/10.1063/1.870148View Description Hide Description
We have investigated the appearance of normal stress differences in suspensions of magnetic nanoparticles by observation of the rise of the fluid at a rotating axis. The combination of the low shear rate limits of the normal stress coefficients and has been varied by means of the action of a magnetic field applied to the fluid. Its value has been determined for different shear rate and magnetic field strength. To enhance observability of the rise of the fluids, the experiments have been carried out under conditions of reduced gravity during parabolic flights.
On mass transport of progressive edge waves11(1999); http://dx.doi.org/10.1063/1.870149View Description Hide Description
The boundary-layer solutions for progressive edge waves on a uniformly sloping beach are derived. The Larangian mass transport in the cross-shore direction is found to be caused by the viscous effect and it changes direction within the boundary layer. For validation of the theoretical model, laboratory experiments are performed. The measuredmass transports of mode 0 and 1 edge waves are in good agreement with the theory qualitatively but not quantitatively. The discrepancies appear to be caused by the failure of the theory near the shoreline, where the boundary layer is no longer thin. The inviscid Stokes drift caused by the nonlinear interactions of different edge-wave modes within the potential flow field is also investigated theoretically and verified by experiments. It is found that near-shore circulation cells can be formed by the nonlinear interactions between different progressive edge-wave modes.
A new upper bound on the growth rate of linear instability of baroclinic zonal flows in a two-layer model on a beta-plane11(1999); http://dx.doi.org/10.1063/1.870150View Description Hide Description
Temporally growing modes of the linearized equations of motion for the baroclinic zonal flows in the two-layer model on a beta-plane are considered. The classical result for the bound on growth rate derived by Joseph Pedlosky for an arbitrary unstable mode has been improved considerably. Further, a rigorous mathematical proof of Howard's conjecture which states that the growth rate of an arbitrary unstable wave must approach zero as the wavelength approaches zero, is presented in this case for the first time under the restriction of the boundedness of the basic potential vorticity gradient of the mean zonal current in each layer with respect to the horizontal coordinate in the concerned flow domain.
Flow control of vortex shedding by a short splitter plate asymmetrically arranged downstream of a cylinder11(1999); http://dx.doi.org/10.1063/1.870151View Description Hide Description
The flow around a circular cylinder (diameter d) was investigated, behind which a short thin splitter plate with a chord of was inserted horizontally as an interference element. The plate was traversed upstream along the wake; hence its relative position is defined by gap G from the cylinder base to the plate tip and by level Z from the wake centerline. The variation in both base suction coefficient and Strouhal number with significantly depends on In the circular cylinder case with as the plate approaches the cylinder, the base suction coefficient exhibits a critical fall in a similar fashion to Roshko's experiment where Interestingly, however, unlike his experiment, the Strouhal number exceeds the natural one for some range of beyond the critical gap. To further examine the flow mechanism, a similar situation was investigated by using a rectangular cylinder (height h, depth ) in place of the circular cylinder. A rise in the Strouhal number is observed for These rises in Strouhal number are explained by the flow mode in which the shear layer separated from the gap side is forced to flow into the gap and to interact in the nearer wake by the approach of the splitter plate.
Coexisting acoustic-rotational flow in a cylinder with axisymmetric sidewall mass addition11(1999); http://dx.doi.org/10.1063/1.870152View Description Hide Description
Time-dependent flow dynamics within a cylinder with sidewall mass injection are investigated. A time-dependent injection velocity, prescribed along the sidewall boundary of a long, narrow, half-open cylinder, induces a low Mach number, high Reynolds number flow. The injection is the source of planar acoustic disturbances which interact with the injected fluid to produce vorticity on the sidewall in an inviscid manner. The analysis of these flow processes is based on the Navier–Stokes equations, which are reduced to simpler forms using a multiple-scale asymptotic analysis. The equations that arise from the analysis describe the leading-order vorticitydynamics. These nonlinear equations possess both wave and diffusion properties and are solved in an initial value sense. The results show that the vorticity produced at the sidewall convects toward the center of the cylinder, diffuses radially, and convects downstream.
A geometric/kinematic interpretation of scalar mixing11(1999); http://dx.doi.org/10.1063/1.870153View Description Hide Description
Scalar mixing is interpreted in terms of the growth or decay with time of an infinitesimal spatial volume located between two neighboring iso-scalar surfaces. The divergence of the velocity of propagation of iso-scalar surfaces relative to the fluid and perpendicular to them yields a variable which may be interpreted as the inverse of a scalar characteristic mixing time. Two contributions, the planar iso-scalar surface part and the one due to its curvature, are distinguished. The former is directly linked to the diffusive and chemical mechanisms contributing to the evolution of the scalar dissipation rate. The second rank symmetric tensor, seems to play an important role in these definitions. Direct numerical simulations (DNS) help to identify possible dependences of on its invariants.
Steady streaming of fluid in the entrance region of a tube during oscillatory flow11(1999); http://dx.doi.org/10.1063/1.870154View Description Hide Description
To gain understanding and insight of entrance-flow phenomena, we solve a fluid dynamics problem involving an oscillating flat velocity profile (with zero mean flow) at the end (entrance) of a semi-infinite, rigid tube. A successive-approximation method is used. Analytic solutions are given for the first-order (linear) approximation. Time averages of products of these first-order solutions for velocity components and their spatial derivatives are used to approximate the nonlinear terms in the second-order equations, which are solved numerically. The time-averaged second-order results demonstrate steady bidirectional streaming in the entrance region. Solutions are given to an illustrative problem with a Reynolds number of 20 and a Womersley unsteadiness parameter of At this low Reynolds number, the streaming effects are small, with the magnitudes of the calculated streaming velocities less than three percent of the amplitude of the velocity specified at the entrance. The calculated magnitudes of streaming velocities would be expected to increase at higher Reynolds numbers; however, the convergence of the second-order solution would be less certain at higher Reynolds numbers. The steady streaming is related to first-order velocity variations that exist near the entrance of the tube.
The geometry and statistics of mixing in aperiodic flows11(1999); http://dx.doi.org/10.1063/1.870155View Description Hide Description
The relationship between statistical and geometric properties of particle motion in aperiodic, two-dimensional flows is examined. Finite-time-invariant manifolds associated with transient hyperbolic trajectories are shown to divide the flow into distinct regions with similar statistical behavior. In particular, numerical simulations of simple, eddy-resolving barotropic flows indicate that there exists a close correlation between such geometric structures and patchiness plots that describe the distribution of Lagrangian average velocity over initial conditions. For barotropic turbulence, we find that Eulerian velocity correlation time scales are significantly longer than their Lagrangian counterparts indicating the existence of well-defined Lagrangian structures. Identification of such structures shows a similar, close relationship between the invariant manifold geometry and patchiness calculations at intermediate time scales, where anomalous dispersion rates are found.
Experimental study of non-Boussinesq Rayleigh–Bénard convection at high Rayleigh and Prandtl numbers11(1999); http://dx.doi.org/10.1063/1.870156View Description Hide Description
A set of experiments is performed, in which a layer of fluid is heated from below and cooled from above, in order to study convection at high Rayleigh numbers (Ra) and Prandtl numbers (Pr). The working fluid, corn syrup, has a viscosity that depends strongly on temperature. Viscosity within the fluid layer varies by a factor of 6 to in the various experiments. A total of 28 experiments are performed for and Pr sufficiently large, that the Reynolds number (Re) is less than 1; here, values of Ra and Pr are based on material properties at the average of the temperatures at the top and bottom of the fluid layer. As Ra increases above flow changes from steady to time-dependent. As Ra increases further, large scale flow is gradually replaced by isolated rising and sinking plumes. At there is no evidence for any large scale circulation, and flow consists only of plumes. Plumes have mushroom-shaped "heads" and continuous "tails" attached to their respective thermal boundary layers. The characteristic frequency for the formation of these plumes is consistent with a scaling. In the experiments at the largest Ra, the Nusselt number (Nu) is lower than expected, based on an extrapolation of the Nu–Ra relationship determined at lower Ra; at the highest Ra, and the lower-than-expected Nu is attributed to inertial effects that reduce plume head speeds.

Head coach Ed Conroy and Jonathan Stark
May 16, 2014
NEW ORLEANS - After guiding the Tulane men's basketball team to a second consecutive postseason tournament, head coach Ed Conroy has been rewarded with a contract extension through the 2017 season, it was announced today by Tulane Director of the Athletics Rick Dickson.
Conroy's four seasons with the Green Wave have resulted in 65 wins, the fourth most by any Tulane coach during the same time frame. He has also led Tulane to the CollegeInsider.com Tournament (CIT) in 2013 and the College Basketball Invitational (CBI) in 2014, the first back-to-back postseason appearances since 1996 and 1997.
"Ed Conroy continues to prove that he can assemble a roster and improve the development of young men in this program in all facets, which is extremely important as we move into our inaugural season of American Athletic Conference in 2014-15," Dickson said.
"I'm excited to be at Tulane as we continue to build the program," Conroy said. "I'm pleased with the progress we've made in the first four seasons and look forward to what we can do in the future. Having the opportunity to guide this program during the transition into the American Athletic Conference is something I look forward to and am very excited about what lies ahead."
In 2013-14, Conroy guided Tulane to a 17-17 overall record and an 8-8 finished in the program's final season as a member of Conference USA. The Green Wave was led on the court by second-team All-Conference USA member Louis Dabney and Freshman All-American Jonathan Stark. Dabney and Stark also teamed with Jay Hook to become the first trio to each score at least 400 points in a season since the 1995-96 season.
Conroy led Tulane in 2012-13 to the program's first 20-win season since 1999-2000 and the first postseason appearance since 2000. The Green Wave posted a 20-15 record and reached the second round of the Collegeinsider.com Tournament.
Tulane's postseason victory, a 84-73, win over South Alabama in the opening round of the CIT, marked the program's first victory in the postseason since 1996 when the Green Wave defeated Alabama in NIT Third-place Game in Madison Square Garden.
The 2012-13 team also featured two all-conference performers as Josh Davis earned first team All-C-USA and Ricky Tarrant was tabbed second-team All-C-USA. Under Conroy, Davis put together one of the most successful seasons in school history and became just the first player to score at least 600 points and pull down at least 350 rebounds in a season.
As a team, Conroy guided Tulane to the fourth most points in a season in school history and the most free throws made and attempted. As a team, Conroy guided Tulane to the fourth most points in a season in school history and the most free throws made and attempted. The Green Wave also posted wins at SEC foe Alabama and conference rival Houston.
The 2011-12 campaign saw the Green Wave get off to the program's best start at 12-2 since the 1994-95 team opened 13-2. Tulane claimed the Hoops for Hope and the Skip Prosser Classic titles during that stretch. During Conroy's second season, two starters were lost due to injuries, including preseason All-Conference selection Kendall Timmons, who went down with an Achilles injury during the second Conference USA game of the season on Jan. 7. Timmons' injury did open the door for freshman Ricky Tarrant to step up and eventually earn first-team All-C-USA and the conference's Freshman of the Year honors.
During Conroy's first season at the helm, Tulane enjoyed a 12-4 start before losing two starters to injury. Conroy also coached the Green Wave to the most prolific three-point shooting season in the program's history, hitting 230 long range shots, shattering the previous mark of 181 set by the 1995-96 team. Conroy's Tulane team also had the highest assist to turnover ratio (1.098) since the 1983-84 season (1.14) and had the highest three-point field goal percentage (36.4) since the 1990-91 team's 38.0 percent.

Savory Italian Stew RecipeRead Reviews Be the first to add a review
5 7 8
My niece shared this recipe with me, and whenever I've served it, I get requests for the recipe. The sausage, tortellini, tomatoes, zucchini and herbs make it different from typical stews featuring meat and potatoes. It's a hearty one-dish meal that's simple to prepare.
- 1 pound bulk Italian sausage
- 1 small onion, chopped
- 1 garlic clove, minced
- 3 cups beef broth
- 1 can (14-1/2 ounces) stewed tomatoes, cut up
- 1 can (8 ounces) tomato sauce
- 1 medium carrot, thinly sliced
- 1 teaspoon dried basil
- 1 teaspoon dried oregano
- 1 package (9 ounces) refrigerated cheese tortellini
- 1 small zucchini, sliced
- 1/3 cup chopped green pepper
- 2 tablespoons minced fresh parsley
- Grated Parmesan cheese
- In a large saucepan, cook sausage and onion over medium heat until meat is no longer pink and onion is tender. Drain. Add garlic; cook 1 minute longer.
- Stir in the broth, tomatoes, tomato sauce, carrot, basil and oregano. Bring to a boil. Reduce heat; simmer, uncovered, for 30 minutes.
- Gently stir in the tortellini, zucchini, green pepper and parsley. Cover and simmer for 20-25 minutes or until tortellini is tender. Serve with cheese. Yield: 6-8 servings (2 quarts).

Dell Vostro 3560 review- powerful 15.6 inch business laptop tested24
Also see the written review: www.mikesquarter.com A detailed look at the Dell Vostro 3560, a powerful 15.6 inch business laptop just launched in 2012. The Dell Vostro 3560 review video will tell you a bit more bout the exterior of this laptop, the looks, the excellent keyboard and trackpad. And then we'll focus on the hardware inside this Dell Vostro 3560 and the performances. With an Intel Core i7-3612QM, 4 GB of ram, 500 GB storage and AMD Radeon 7670 graphics, this is a power horse, although not a gaming laptop. It will deal with all the software you'll push at it though and it will run some games as well, as the clip proves. The Dell Vostro 3560 is for sure a solid laptop, but with the top config going for as high as 00, I'd say that's a bit too much, when you can get better devices for less these days.

Yes you can Run in Background but make sure it is alv list, not alv Grid FM. if you are uisng alv list not problem , but if you are using alv grid then you can code like this..
if sy-batch = ' '. call 'REUSE_ALV_GRID_DISPLAY'. else. call 'REUSE_ALV_LIST_DISPLAY'. endif.
if you are using OO alv then write this code..
CALL METHOD cl_gui_alv_grid=>offline RECEIVING e_offline = off. IF off IS INITIAL. CREATE OBJECT g_custom_container EXPORTING container_name = g_container. ENDIF.

Hi Vijay,
I have created 2 ALV Grids in one screen - one below another using DOCKING CONTAINER.
I am getting the foreground output as expected with 2 ALV Grids.
While executing in background (F9), I am getting only output of first ALV grid. Second ALV is not getting displayed in BACKGROUND(F9) mode.
You have mentioned to use 'cl_gui_alv_grid=>offline'
How and where to use this. Help me with some part of code.
Hi Hazam,
I can help you if you are using OO ALV.
Just before creating the custom container check for the following condition.
Batch or Web Reporting
IF cl_gui_alv_grid=>offline( ) IS INITIAL.
CREATE OBJECT o_custcontainer
container_name = lc_custcontrol
cntl_error = 1

From Chapter 1, Feast
It was a fool that began it, but it took a woman to turn it murderous.
Pride and lust, spite, greed, and folly split Florence down the middle in that harsh spring. By late March, when the Feast of the Incarnation gave birth to Christ's year 1216, the damage was done.
Our city by then had rent herself into two warring parties. She split, like a stone splits when the stonecutter drives his wedge into a crack and sunders the rock into jagged pieces, never to be whole again.
Ask any Florentine how the rift began. He'll tell you it started with a banquet, a fight, a man hurt. A marriage offered to make peace. A woman's interference, a betrayal–maybe more than one–and a cry for vengeance. He'll tell you, in wonder, that the great strife began at that banquet with nothing more than a fool's jest.
He might even tell you that the fool played his prank, collected his purse, and danced away, not caring what he had set in motion.
He would be wrong.
All that he's told you will be true until that last. True, but incomplete. There's nothing in his account of blackmail, nothing of secrets, nothing of the bitterness of a rejected woman. Nothing of loyalty bought and sold. And most of all, nothing of violent conflict coldly planned and set in motion for political gain.
A fool began it; that much is true. I should know, for I am that fool, fool by profession and more fool by my actions. But before you judge me, know that the rift, like the crack in the stone, was already there.

At a time when more women than ever are getting breast implants, fewer voices than ever seem to be asking "Why?" And fewer still are asking "Are they safe?"
takes an open-minded, personal approach to the controversy over breast implant safety. Ultimately,
is the story of everyday women who find themselves and their breasts in the tangled and confusing intersection of health, money, science, and beauty.
At its heart,
is driven by the experience of the filmmaker's own mother. Diagnosed in 1974 with breast tumors,
Audrey Ciancutti
underwent a double mastectomy with silicone-implant reconstruction surgery. A year later, her implants ruptured, and soon after, her health steadily declined. Like thousands of other women, Audrey believes her debilitating illnesses—joint pain, chronic fatigue, scleroderma-- are linked to her breast implants; however, most doctors and researchers deny this link. Among the debate by plastic surgeons, toxicologists, attorneys, implant manufacturers, whistle blowers, government officials and activists,
introduces more everyday women like Audrey who make choices about their breasts in our appearance driven culture.
27 year-old
Deneé Dimiceli
has long been insecure about her breast size, and she's frank about why: a deep envy of pop culture icons and images of big-breasted women. Although her husband likes her breasts as they are and does not want her to take any risks by having surgery, Deneé chooses to go ahead with breast augmentation. Step by step, the film follows Deneé through the implantation process. With the help of renowned plastic surgeon
Dr. Franklin Rose
, Deneé becomes the "Full C" she has longed to be. Months after surgery, Deneé is happy and healthy, though she initially lost sensation in her breasts.
As Deneé makes the choice to get breast implants, we meet
Wendi Myers
who has spent years longing for a life without implants. After suffering unexplained illnesses for years—dizziness, hair loss, fatigue—Wendi believes her silicone implants are making her sick and that they are ruptured, even though the implants appear to be in tact. With the financial help from her mother and the surgical skill of
Dr. Edward Melmed
, one of the few plastic surgeons in this country who argues that implants have severe flaws and cause illness in some women, Wendi makes a unique choice—to have her breast implants "ex-planted" and removed from her body forever. The remnants of Wendi's implants, are an alarming discovery for Wendi and her family.
Food and Drug Administration (FDA)
stands as the only traffic light at the implant intersection, for it is ultimately left to the FDA to analyze data and define risk. Billions are at stake as implant manufacturers lobby the FDA for approval of silicone implants and present studies which support no link between breast implants and disease. A
data debate
is at the heart of the FDA decision. Dissecting industry-sponsored safety research, a public interest watchdog acknowledges that the data does not prove a link between implants and illness, but probes the fact that the majority of the studies were based on
short-term research
. Meanwhile, physicians
Dr. Ernest Lykissa
Dr. Michael Harbut
maintain there are dangers associated with the platinum used in the making of breast implants. Dr. Lykissa, who studies chemical compositions of ruptured implants, wonders why there have not been any required studies on failed implants.
The story of
always returns to the women and girls who stand front and center—both willingly and unwillingly—in the traffic jam of beauty, media, risk, and "choice." The quest for physical perfection leads the film's characters to operating rooms, support groups, hospital beds, and public hearings. In a plastic surgeon's waiting room, a patient is both enthusiastic about her own silicone implants and also shocked by tales of family friends with implant ruptures and sickness. At a support group of breast cancer survivors with failed breast implants, group leader and photographer
Anne Stansell
reveals that she never had the option to live without implants after mastectomy—her implants were presented as a given part of her treatment package. At a discussion with 8 year-old girls, the pre-teens flip through magazines rating beauty and breasts with sharp, judgmental tongue. Shockingly, the quest to be the "ideal beauty" begins long before breasts grow.
Even though the
FDA recently lifted its restrictions
on silicone implants and approved them for wide-scale use, many serious questions remain regarding breast implant safety. However,
reveals that the conversation on implant safety is far more complex than simple pros and cons. Rather, the real conversation, the most important conversation—with the most difficult and challenging questions—rests with viewers themselves, as all individuals in our culture ultimately face this confusing intersection of choice, risk, money, beauty, and health.
sparks this long overdue cultural conversation.

George Washington;
Fence-Sitters; Trick Questions

Subject: WebMaster:_Positive_Atheism_Index on the fence

I have been reading your web page, and I was sure you where right. I have come across some of the quotes listed on your page. So I did some research of my own. The more I searched the more I proved you wrong. The most damaging quote I found was in George Washington's Farewell Address
|Of all the dispositions and habits which lead to political prosperity, religion and morality are indispensable supports. In vain would that man claim the tribute of patriotism who should labor to subvert these great pillars of human happiness-these firmest props of the duties of men and citizens. The mere politician, equally with the pious man, ought to respect and to cherish them. A volume could not trace all their connections with private and public felicity. Let it simply be asked, "where is the security for property, for reputation, for life, if the sense of religious obligation desert the oaths which are the instruments of investigation in courts of justice?" And let us with caution indulge the supposition that morality can be maintained without religion. Whatever may be conceded to the influence of refined education on minds of peculiar structure, reason and experience both forbid us to expect the national morality can prevail in exclusion of religious principle. It is substantially true that virtue or morality is a necessary spring of popular government. The rule indeed extends with more or less force to every species of free government. Who that is a sincere friend to it can look with indifference upon attempts to shake the foundation of the fabric? Promote, then, as an object to primary importance, institutions for the general diffusion of knowledge. In proportion as the structure of a government gives force to public opinion, it is essential that public opinion should be enlightened.
Is God trying to convert me? How call all the other quotes be wrong? This certainly make it sound like this country was founded on Christianity! Or at least George Washington was a Christian. The Library of Congress has lots of original documents to look at, and the more I look, the more convincing evidence I find.
HELP on the fence.

I don't see anything in this about Christianity. Washington was probably a Deist at best, and was probably a Mason (my grandfather was a 32nd-degree Mason and was an atheist). One can be a moralist and not be a Christian (I am not a Christian and I advocate having very strong personal morals). One can also advocate the benefits of religion without being a Christian (and without even having Christianity in mind -- as Deism was the religion of choice among Washington's friends and colleagues).
Have you checked out our page on Washington? Although Washington advocated religion as good for the masses, he did not practice what he preached, and was publicly chastised for always ducking out of church right before Communion was served. After this public display, he stopped attending services (with his wife, at his wife's church) altogether on Communion Sunday. Washington was strangely silent on his personal religious views though he heartily recommended religion as being good for the masses.
Please explain to me how you come to suspect that Washington was a Christian based upon this passage, and how anyone can come to think that America is a Christian nation based upon the writings of its founding members. I always thought it was the Constitution that is the definition of what this country is.

College Hockey:Chelios goal completes rally as Michigan State ties Miami
OXFORD, Ohio — The Miami RedHawks and Michigan State Spartans skated to a 2-2 deadlock Friday night in Oxford. The RedHawks did earn an extra point in the CCHA standings by winning the shootou,t 2-0. Miami got goals from freshman Alex Gacek and sophomore Alex Wideman, while sophomore Matt Berry and junior Jake Chelios lit the lamp for the Spartans.
Miami coach Enrico Blasi called a tight game, and just the sort his players needed to come to expect.
"I thought it was a good college hockey game," Blasi said. "One of those nights for both sides where you gotta just stay with it and try to find a way. It was a good game, well-played both ways. We had our chances, they had theirs."
The RedHawks grabbed the early lead when Gacek picked up a turnover in the slot and wristed it passed Michigan State's freshman goaltender Jake Hildebrand at 11:15. Miami then pushed the advantage to 2-0 at 5:47 in the second period as Alex Wideman backhanded the puck over Hildebrand's shoulder.
Michigan State coach Tom Anastos said the early deficit did not dissuade the team, and he knew the players knew what it would take to come back.
"I'd call it patience, rather than try to force things out there just be real patient," he said.
The Spartans did not wait long to respond. At 7:38 in the second, Berry put Michigan State on the board with his seventh goal of the season, a nifty spinning shot that eluded Miami's freshman goalkeeper Jay Williams. Then Miami took a penalty late in the period, putting Michigan State on a power play. The Spartans converted the opportunity, with a shot by junior Jake Chelios deflecting off of a Miami defender and into the back of the cage.
As the game progressed, both defenses clamped down ever tighter. Though Miami held an edge in shots on goal, neither team could capitalize on any momentum. The Spartans were outshot, 21-12, after the first period, and Chelios said the grind of the action took its toll.
"They were wearing us down the whole game," he said. "We were having a hard time getting the puck deep and getting caught in our area. That eventually got to us."
Following a gritty third period, neither team had many good looks in the overtime, setting up a trip down the shootout lane. Miami won the shootout on goals from Wideman and freshman Riley Barber. It marked the second consecutive game that Wideman netted a shootout-winning goal for the RedHawks.
"A shootout win in our league is two points and those are two points that could be huge at the end of the season. You never know," he said.
