I am freaking out this is my second pregnancy
5 positive pregnancy tests bleeding can it be misscarige
I had four miscarriages at 5-7 weeks before LO. Then I got pregnant again right after #4... exactly six weeks in, I had heavy bleeding. I said, "Ok, that's it.. We're not doing this anymore." I didn't even bother to go to the doctor. But when I was still testing positive three weeks later, I went to the doctor to see if maybe the miscarriage was incomplete. Nope. Saw a pretty little 9-week baby on an ultrasound that day, and she turned out just fine. :)

I bled with both my pregnancies, the first at 8 weeks and the second an hour after I got my positive pregnancy test. It was scary all they could do that early was get blood tests to check my hcg and wait. I ended up having a subchoironic hemorage with both pregnancies. BC has a great group for SCH and they gave me a lot of support. The best thing I can recommend is rest and lots of liquids. Good luck and I'll keep you in my prayers!
Wife to Chris & Mommy to DS- E (7/31/09) & DD- L (11/9/11)
Got the results , going to see my doctor tomorrow will see what is going to be :) Hey so how do they determine the pregnancy number i did not get it i am on 29 i have no idea what is 29 number is that would be do the blood work that i did :) ohh yeah by the way what is subchoironic hemorage
A sub chor hemmorage is a small pool of blood in the uterus near the baby. An ultrasound can see how big it is. I forgot I had one too. That's what caused my bleeding. As long as its small and doesn't get bigger, its usually a non issue.
I think you're preggers, OP. :)
Just came back from the apt from my doctor i misscary :(( we will try again soon baby # 2

Lemuel K Washburn
We do not say that another world is not worth a single thought, but rather that this world is worth all our thoughts, and needs them.
No church has all the truth, and no school either. So-called religion merely shows where the search after truth ended. But truth is the infinite reality, and it will always be for man to find.
No man ever yet tore down his altar and found a God behind it.
Every kiss of love imprinted by a mother's lips on the face of her babe gives the lie to the Christian doctrine of total depravity, and every gift which the heart of pity lays in the hand of misfortune brands this doctrine as false and a libel on our human nature.
It is a waste of words to talk about God and what he knows and what he does. No man knows that God does anything, that God knows anything, or that there is a God.
Lots of men who would not associate with infidels for fear of contaminating their characters are not yet out of jail.
When a minister says that God will help you, ask him to put up the collateral.
Where the cross has been planted only superstitions have grown.
What a queer thing is Christian salvation! Believing in firemen will not save a burning house; believing in doctors will not make one well, but believing in a savior saves men. Fudge!
Piety could do nothing better than imitate morality.
But it is neither as God nor as a man that Jesus must be regarded, but as a myth. No such person ever lived either as a human or divine existence. He is simply a creature of fancy, the fruit of the imagination. He is a character of the brain, the creation of religious genius.
To build one house for man is better than to build a dozen houses to God.
It rains on the just and the unjust, but rarely just enough on either.
There is no authority that can be quoted against a man but the authority of some other man.
The truths which God revealed have been overthrown by the truths which man has discovered.
A man cannot be happy who believes in hell, any more than he can sweeten his coffee with a pickle.
No creed can be stretched to the size of truth; no church can be made as large as man.
If God exists, what objection can he have to saying so?,
We are told that all things are possible with God, and yet God cannot boil an egg in cold water.
If the factory pays taxes and the church does not, it follows that the church will some day own the factory.
God cannot be put into the national Constitution without putting liberty out of it.
History shows that there is nothing so easy to enslave and nothing so hard to emancipate as ignorance, hence it becomes the double enemy of civilization. By its servility it is the prey of tyranny, and by its credulity it is the foe of enlightenment.
The cross everywhere is a dagger in the heart of liberty.
The more mystery is encouraged, the more deceit can impose upon the human mind.
An organization that requires the suppression of facts and the discouragement of knowledge in order to maintain its supremacy, is the relic of a tyranny which our free age and our free thought are in duty bound to remove from the earth.
The churches erected in the name of God will ere long be tombstones to his, memory.
What has God revealed to man that has ever helped him get a living?
Take away every achievement of the world and leave man freedom, and the earth would again bloom with every glory of attainment; but take away liberty and everything useful and beautiful would vanish.
A miracle is not an explanation of what we cannot comprehend.
There is greater argument in one fact than in all the creeds.
The doubter is the safe man; the man who can be depended upon. He does not build upon a foundation of guesswork, and the structure he erects will stand. Let us not fear doubt, but rather fear to have falsehood passed for truth.
Too long has this world been at the feet of the priest. Man is never in that position for his own benefit, but for the benefit of the priest.
We should scorn the person who would be mean enough to allow his fellow-being to be punished for his deeds. Yet we have a religion in our midst that is founded on this kind of meanness.
A true man will not join anything that in any way abridges his freedom or robs him of his rights.
It is plain enough that men and women care for God. This is too apparent to be disputed, unless men and women are hypocrites. What is not so plain is that God cares for men and women.
Prayer is a hook that never caught any fish. It is a gun that never brought down any game.
The feet of progress have always been shod by doubt.
No man ever got an answer to prayer that he could show to another person.
The character of God would stand vastly higher in human estimation if he had visited the garden in which he had placed the first human pair and picked up the serpent and cast him over the garden wall before he had a chance to tempt Eve, instead of waiting until the mischief was done, and then cursing the whole lot for what he might so easily have prevented.
If there were no ministers and no priests, how long would there be any churches?
Unless some people change their habits before they die, there will be a lot of dirty angels in the next world, if there is any next world.
It has been discovered that the man who was lost in thought was not a church member.
Religion is no more the parent of morality than an incubator is the mother of a chicken.
Hell is where cowards have sent heroes.
When the church teaches that confession is good for the soul, it teaches false doctrine; it is only good for the church.
If man had no knowledge except what he has got out of the Bible he would not know enough to make a shoe.
We could believe in God if he shortened the road for the lame, led the blind or fed the starving.

Prayer is like a pump in an empty well, it makes lots of noise, but brings no water.

Blessings on the man who first dared to doubt.
Trying to find God is a good deal like looking for money one has lost in a dream.
The power that conquers men to-day must be the power of enlightened opinion.
If we do not need to worship God six days in the week why do we need to worship him on the seventh?
No man ever knew Providence to interpose when his neighbor's hens are scratching up his garden.
The people who boast the loudest of carrying their cross are never around when man cries for help.
The man who wants to be an angel is never in a hurry to begin.

God's name is not considered good at the banks.
Our duty to the God of Christianity is to bury him.
The measure of liberty which man enjoys determines the civilization of the age in which he lives.
Priest and God have formed some of the worst combinations in history.
A higher respect for man has been one of the chief promoters of civilization.
The dogma of the divinity of Jesus should have died on the cross, when the man of Nazareth gave up the ghost.
The doctrine of salvation by faith is a libel on justice and has done more to undermine the virtue of the world than vice itself.
The minister must take his pious grasp off of the throat of Sunday.
People who rely most on God rely least on themselves.
A dogma is the hand of the dead on the throat of the living.
We do not want holy books, but true ones; not sacred writings, but sensible writings.
The thirty-nine articles of orthodoxy are only the ashes of the mind.
A church that sets up a religious faith as more essential than purity, than kindness, charity or goodness, is a dangerous institution.
The money man gives to get him into heaven is what he ought to use to improve the earth.
Most men would kill the truth if truth would kill their religion.
If you can forgive the man who wronged you, the neighbor who slandered you and help the poor about you, you need not be particular about making any professions of righteousness.
The original sin was not in eating of the forbidden fruit, but in planting the tree that bore the fruit.

The church wants us to believe that God will go out of his way to strike a blasphemer and work a week to save the soul of a murderer.
When religion comes in at the door common sense goes out at the window.
Christianity is like a slow clock -- always being moved ahead.
If wisdom and diamonds grew on the same tree we could soon tell how much men loved wisdom.
Christianity is a black spot on the page of civilization.
We must condemn Christianity, not Christians; strike the church, but spare the heart.
When men are hungry roast mutton is better than the lamb that taketh away wrath.

The convent is opposed to all that is sacred in human nature.
God never helps those who need the help of men and women.
The man who gets on his knees has not learned the right use of his legs.
The reason that revelation is always made to the simple is that the wise could not be imposed upon.
The person who can make a loaf of bread is more to the world than the person who could perform a miracle.
A great many men believe in providence until they get caught in a railroad accident.
When Christian ministers stand up in their pulpits and say Let us pray, if they would sometimes vary the invitation and say: Let us laugh, they would do their congregations more good.
People used to think that to mix religion with business spoiled the religion, now they think it spoils the business.
The foolish and cruel notion that a wife is to obey her husband has sent more women to the grave than to the courts for a divorce.
The man who accepts the faith of Calvin is miserable in proportion to the extent he carries it out.
To depend upon God is like holding on to the tail-end of nothing.
God has done nothing for men and women except to scare them out of their wits.
Civilization has come about by going to school more than to church.
Orthodoxy has put a false valuation on things. It calls a man good who goes to church, offers a prayer in public and accepts the Bible as the word of God; it calls a man bad who stays at home and enjoys himself with his family on Sunday, who eats without asking God to bless his food, and who does not expect to go to heaven on the vicarious railroad.
It is necessary to distinguish between the virtue and the vice of obedience.
Whatever tends to prolong the existence of ignorance or to prevent the recognition of knowledge is dangerous to the well-being of the human race.
The true man walks the earth as the stars walk the heavens, grandly obedient to those laws which are implanted in his nature.
Churches do not stand for moral influence. Not a Christian minister preaches salvation by good behavior. What a poor business Roman Catholicism would do among men if it advertised to save only those who were temperate, upright, intelligent and moral.
Priests will pardon thieves but not philosophers.
Nine times out of ten the man who declares that God is tender to the sparrow that falls is not the man to buy a winter's coal for a poor widow.

I am playing as Welling in the Conference South, and am only supposed to have 1 coach plus the AssMan. So I thought I would try and work around it by offering player/coach contracts , but again these were turned down as the Board only feels that one coach is necessary.
In all fairness I am not too upset, as the personel in question were rubbish players and would have in effect been mainly coaches, and reserve team stalwarts.
However, I am now worried that if I find a good player who can coach, will the board also prevent me from signing him on a player/coach basis, or was it the 'backup status' for obviously rubbish players that the board spotted and therefore blocked the previous offers? If the board do block player/coach deals for squad rotation or higher in this scenario, this needs looking at.
I also want to encourage a couple of my older players to become coaches, but would I not be allowed to offer them player/coach contract extensions for the same reasons? Again, if I can get a player/coach for the same costs as him being a player only, surely I should be allowed to do this?

The 2010 Massachusetts gubernatorial race has not proved dull. At different points, it has provoked enthusiasm as well as ire. One constant, however, has been a feeling of frustration. For many, this is an unwelcome surprise because four years ago, Deval Patrick was elected on his promise of delivering hope and change. Although the Governor never elaborated on this vague sound bite-cum-platform, residents of the Bay State, nonetheless, were intoxicated by the then political hopeful. But, today, troubling economic times and broken promises have caused many to look at Patrick through a less romantic, more critical lens. This has led to opportunities for Jill Stein (G-R), Charlie Baker (R), and Tim Cahill (I) to challenge the Governor, though it is Cahill's candidacy that has generated the most attention throughout this race.
Jill Stein has consistently presented herself as a proponent of the common man, eschewing big corporation interests. While her genuine concern for the common man is appreciated, her very liberal fiscal and social views are considerably less welcome. As for Charlie Baker, he claims to offer the perfect blend of empathy for the everyman and fiscal conservatism, yet his inability to connect with the people, coupled with his big government record, effectively prevents him from running away with the election. That leaves Tim Cahill. Focused on a message that includes creating jobs and bringing an end to suffocating partisanship, he has proved to be the energizer bunny of Bay State politics.
Indeed, despite blistering attacks from both Democrats and Republicans and defections from his camp, he has persisted in his fight and has remained viable throughout this race. Some might try to debate his viability, but those individuals are not part of the Republican Governors Association (RGA). This group intervened early in this race and has since spent over two million dollars in an obsessive attempt to cast him as a non-contender. Flummoxed by his tenacity, the RGA and those who share its view might speculate that ego keeps Cahill in the race. If that, however, were true, the blitzkrieg of negativity that has been directed against him would have already led Cahill to abandon his bid. Those that know him agree and say that Tim Cahill continues to fight because of his principles and conviction; many Massachusetts residents have been reciprocating by offering steady support. Impressed by the turnout at one event, I turned to Tina Cahill, Tim's wife, and said, "Tim is the Independent who could." Looking me in the eye, she responded, "Tim is the Independent who can."

With the recent successful docking of the SpaceX Dragon capsule with the International Space Station and the Dragon's safe return to splashdown in the Pacific Ocean, all eyes are focused on the burgeoning new field of privately-funded space exploration.
In an article in the New York Times, Kenneth Chang writes of the birth of a thriving new entrepreneurial environment in the Mojave desert outside of Los Angeles. The Mojave Air and Space Port, which originally was a Marine air station, is home to a handful of startups seeking their fortune in this marketplace. Although each of the companies in the Mojave ecosystem are probably fascinating innovation studies in and of themselves, what struck me most in thinking about this area was not the technology work of these companies but, rather, a counter-intuitive symbol of innovation that sits at the entrance to the business park where these companies reside: the Roton rocket.
The Roton rocket was the chief product developed by the Rotary Rocket Company, the first enterprise to set up shop at this former airfield in the Mojave desert. The idea behind the Roton rocket was to use helicopter blades and rocket engines to take off and reach orbit. Although the craft took off three times from its launching pad, it never achieved orbit and in 2001 the company ran out of money and shut down its operations. The prototype Roton rocket craft, however, still resides at the Mojave airfield as a symbol of the zeitgeist of the companies in the area. According to the chief executive of the Mojave Air and Space Port, Stuart Witt, "[w]e actually take pride in giving people permission to fail."
Seeing this amazing piece of failed technology gracing the entry way of a hub of new technology made me think about what other symbols we typically use to represent innovation. Symbolism seems to focus more on success than failure, but as numerous authors in this blog and elsewhere have written, failure may be a more important area of focus for innovation than success. Innovation is rarely the result of incredible insight applied directly to solve a problem resulting in immediate success. Rather, innovators often find themselves trying numerous different approaches while following a hunch, and then learning from those failures to make improvements that lead them to a better outcome, as demonstrated by Edison's hundreds of failed attempts in developing the light bulb.
Intuitive symbols of innovation are everywhere, such as the ubiquitous corporate wall of patents or a product hall of fame. Likewise, we often associate innovation with the image of Rodin's The Thinker, which could symbolize the innovator deep in thought, ready to thrust upon the world a great new idea. The Roton rocket sends the opposite message to the entrepreneurs commuting to work each day in the Mojave Desert. The leveraging of failure leads to symbols of innovation that are counter-intuitive, such as an Edsel parked in front of Ford Motor Company's headquarters or a model of the Tacoma Narrows Bridge in front of a civil engineering company.
A great example of a counter-intuitive symbol of innovation comes from Kyle Zimmer, CEO of the nonprofit FirstBook. As relayed in a recent New York Times "Corner Office" interview with Adam Bryant, Zimmer tries to encourage a culture in her company where failure is not feared but, rather, understood as a stepping stone to enhanced creativity. As Zimmer notes,
[t]he culture we line in teaches us to fear failure, and I think that's a huge mistake. When I look back over the history of our organization, the times we've been most creative were a result of the pressure of a failure or near-failure.
Failure forces a team to think differently about how to approach a problem, and Zimmer periodically celebrates a failed idea through what she calls the "Brick Wall Award." Zimmer gives this Award for "an idea that should have gone really well but ended up crashing into a brick wall." This symbolizes the fact that an individual or team put a great deal of thought into a new idea and tried different approaches but in the end was unable to attain the objective. This failure should be recognized as a source of learning and a means of triggering creativity.
By highlighting counter-intuitive symbols of innovation, I do not mean to disparage the intuitive symbols that we all have grown so accustomed to seeing in our workplaces and amongst our clients. However, the next time we walk past the wall of patents in an office we should also think about the ideas that were worked on but did not make it to the wall, and recognize the long list of failures that probably accompanied those successful patents.

Rated 5 out of 5 by 1 reviewer.
Rated 5 out of 5 by JEinDC Stunning & Useful! This sits in an office 'comfy' chair where I sit when I want to read and am tired of sitting at my desk. Having the support for my lower back is great. It was purchased to 'go with' another pillow from World Market and picks up the orange in that and complements the throw and chair colors. Love the buttons as an added 'oomph' to the pillow's styling. August 3, 2014

Go back to Flash Reviews
Go Home
(Editor's Note: With
this Flash Review, the Dance Insider continues its international
centennial coverage of the global legacy of George Balanchine.)
By Tara Zahra
Copyright 2003 Tara Zahra
VIENNA -- In a season
of noisy tributes to Balanchine, it is not surprising that the Vienna
State Opera's celebration is quieter than most. But even without
a press release to advertise the fact, the choreography of Renato
Zanella, the Opera Ballet's current artistic director, is itself
more often than not a Balanchine tribute. Zanella's best choreography
worships clean lines and demands an understated technical virtuosity,
while adding a layer of humanist emotional and psychological drama.
In works like "Sensi" and "Konzertantes Duo," the choreography is
the dancer's tool (and not vice-versa).
In contrast, Balanchine's
own works, "Theme and Variations" and "Tchaikovsky Pas de Deux,"
left the Opera dancers a little too vulnerable and alone with their
(not always flawless) technique Tuesday night at the Vienna State
Opera House, and with the choreography itself. And the final work
of the evening, Zanella's "Sacre," departed the most from the Balanchine
mode and was also the least successful, as the dancers were lost
not in technique but in the anger of the mob, emotion without restraint,
without careful development or pacing. The Opera's frequent Balanchine-Zanella
evenings nonetheless offer audience members a welcome opportunity
to see for themselves how much of Balanchine lingers on in contemporary
"Theme and Variations"
featured first soloists Eva Petters and Gregor Hatala, two Viennese
natives who were trained by the Opera Ballet School, in the lead
roles. Petters is both petite and sensual, a quick jumper and exciting
performer who meets Balanchine's most demanding technical challenges
effortlessly. It was only the adagio sequences which at times disappointed,
with extensions building to climaxes that never came. "Tchaikovsky
Pas de Deux" was performed by first solist Simona Noja and demi-soloist
Tomislav Petranovic. The two have the potential to make a brilliant
pair. They are both extraordinarily long-limbed, and have a shared
talent for combining long, soft, luscious movement with breath-taking
speed and an angular quality well suited to Balanchine. But their
timing was off, and Noja sometimes seemed slightly dazed, as though
she had accidentally ended up running on a fast treadmill. By the
time the coda came around she was unable to keep her weight forward
on her standing leg and gave up on her turns early.
Zanella's witty and
elegant "Sensi" followed the intermission, as we shifted gears from
Balanchine's more sugary neo-classical works to an edgy post-modern
wit. With music by Gija Kantscheli, "Sensi" was a playful rip on
Orientalism, and generously cited Martha Graham as well as Balanchine.
Militaristically precise corps work, generously outstretched limbs
and perfect lines were on ample display, thanks in part to a minimalist
set and barely-there leopard print unitards, designed by the choreographer.
Zanella, like Balanchine, also skillfully exploited the value of
stillness as movement, with compelling series of poses and positions
that begged to be photographed. If at first the work seemed to short,
on further reflection this was only because it ended abruptly, a
choice which was actually in harmony with its slightly flippant
wit. "Sensi" ultimately also provided a telling contrast to the
final and least successful offering of the evening, Zanella's "Sacre."
Set to Stravinsky's "Le Sacre du Printemps," the dance was a 30-minute
romp through a dark alley filled with angry teenagers in blue jeans.
Zanella gave too much too fast: the stage exploded with dancers
in full combat and in full emotional hysteria in the first few minutes.
There was no place to go from there; violence quickly becomes boring,
as does emotion without restraint. While "Sensi" left me wanting
more, I was wondering when "Sacre" would end. Watching the outcasts,
danced by Ilona Dierl and Jurgen Wagner, as they were subjected
to a kind of hazing ritual and slowly shed their clothing did not
provide much dramatic tension or new insight into the violence of
the gang, and I had the feeling that I had seen it all before in
"West Side Story."
Zanella's "Konzertantes
Duo," performed by the recently promoted soloist Shoko Nakamura
and demi-soloist Eno Peci, was the most obvious tribute to Balanchine.
Music by Stravinsky ("Duo Concertant"), a nearly bare stage and
scanty costumes accentuated the feeling of deja vu, but it was once
again Balanchine with a post-modern twist. While "Tchaikovsky Pas
de Deux" seems to be set outside of any real place or time, the
simple blue tunics and orange lighting Zanella chose for 'Duo,'
alongside the classical pianist and violinist on the stage, evoked
Gap pajamas and Ikea design, the apartment of upwardly mobile European
twentysomethings. "Konzertantes Duo" is a complete and complex relationship
tale, with a beginning, middle, and end. It unfortunately also confirms
all our traditional gender stereotypes. First, they dance alone:
sweeping, grounded arabesques and longing. Then they find each other,
and life is good for a while. She dances alone, and he enjoys it,
the voyeur. But then he starts to feel smothered. He needs space,
she runs toward him for the lift and he casts her aside, dancing
alone. He revels and turns (literally rolling his head) in selfish
freedom while she glares on from the side, wounded. He is happy
alone, but she isn't complete until he returns to her, and they
travel hand in hand into the future.
The surprise hit of
the night was Gregor Hatala's frisky solo performance of Ben van
Cauvenaugh's character portrait "Les Bourgeois." The solo was clearly
chosen for comic relief rather than any coherent relationship to
the rest of the program. But Hatala provided comedy and more, bursting
with personality and energy that I did not expect after his solid
but unremarkable performance in "Theme and Variations." The solo
could not have lasted more than five minutes, and yet you had the
feeling that you knew his character intimately, had spoken to him
in a bar or cafe at mid-century. The audience was treated to a wry
observation of bourgeois masculinity, the kind of portrait that
you usually expect only from a novel. Hatala's performance ultimately
provided further proof that the Vienna Opera dancers do best with
a chance to showcase their personalities, and are as easily lost
in Balanchine's movement for its own sake as in the overplayed anger
of the mob.

Dain LaRoche
Assistant Professor, Department of Kinesiology - College of Health and Human Services
Professor LaRoche traveled to Brazil in January 2012 for research on neuromuscular performance and mobility in older adults at the Universidade Estadual Paulista – Rio Claro.
Professor LaRoche presents his research at UNESP
With the support of the Center for International Education, I traveled to Rio Claro, São Paulo, Brazil to work with Professor Dr. Mauro Gonçalves, Professor Dr. Adalgiso Cardozo, and their graduate students in the Laboratório de Biomecânica at the Universidade Estadual Paulista (UNESP). The purpose of this visit was to share our respective research findings, develop a collaborative project on the role of leg strength and the biomechanics of gait in the elderly, and to foster exchange between our two programs. I left Durham with no working knowledge of the Portuguese language and no clear idea of what I would encounter in Rio Claro. What I found were some of the most gracious people I've ever met, hardworking and intelligent graduate students, motivated mentors, and a quality educational system with aspirations of international recognition.
Rio Claro is a small city nearly a three hour drive north of the city of São Paulo — a trip reminiscent of the plains of the western U.S., with rolling hills and vast expanses of sugar cane. In São Paulo state there was evidence of economic growth including shiny new cars, building of a new stadium for the 2014 soccer World Cup, and two new academic buildings on the UNESP campus. One of those buildings will be a new biomechanics laboratory, complete with the most modern equipment, to house Professor Gonçalves' developing program. In addition to the physical signs of economic growth, there are a number of Brazilian programs that provide funding to graduate students to complete a portion of their studies outside of Brazil. It is our hope that some of the students from UNESP will choose to use these scholarships to conduct research in our laboratory at UNH.
During my visit I gave two research presentations related to lower-extremity strength, the forces generated during walking, body composition, and mobility in older adults. Also, each graduate student presented their current research including the ability of gait variability to predict elderly fallers, and how altered gait influences the energy cost of walking in the elderly. I spent the majority of my time at UNESP having small group discussions centered on research design, data and statistical analysis, and interpretation of study findings. I was very impressed by the volume and breadth of research that was being conducted in the laboratory and that each student was preparing a manuscript in English for publication in an international journal.
Professor LaRoche presents his research at UNESP
I would be less than authentic if I did not admit that my favorite part of the trip was learning about the culture of Brazil, trying new foods, and making new friendships. Had I not gone to Brazil I might have never known that Rio is pronounced "Hio", avocados grow in trees, you can make juice from the fruit of a cashew, and famers crossing a river with piranha send the oldest cow first. My hosts invited me into their houses and lives, treated me like a king, and made me feel more than welcome. Some of my favorite excursions included a walk through the town's historical eucalyptus forest and trip outside town to a student's family cabin. During the latter adventure, I did not know where we were headed and we suddenly pulled off the road into a lemon grove. We drove down a dirt road overlooking a valley to the cabin complete with gazebo, pool, and wood fired grill. We rode horses through the orchard (I got the mule), ate cassava, corn meal, and boar, and tasted the sweetness of sugar cane straight from the source.
I hope sharing these experiences with my students will inspire them to travel, learn new languages, and realize that despite little differences, people are the same wherever you go. I take away from this trip an appreciation of Brazilian history and culture, fresh ideas for research, new research partners, and a future of scientific and cultural exchange between UNESP and UNH.

COMPUTEX TAIPEI 2008 I've always loved Lian Li for their simplistic clean designs and ability to make everything out of aluminum. Stopping by their booth this time, they take the time to show us what's hot about their latest case design.
They have moved the PSU, HDDs and drive bays to the top of the case and the motherboard remains in the bottom in an effort to separate the airflow more.
The front has no drive bays because they poke out either side, with the ability to choose left or right depending on your case positioning.
The front comes off to reveal an easily removable plastic dust filter that you can wash.
Moving on from that we were show their budget name Lancool, the idea is to retain some of the same good external looks of the Lian Li cousins but make them more affordable by using steel internally.

Did you say RUN???
Monday, September 02, 2013
Yea you heard me. I think I have lost my mind. I have had this on my bucket list for ages. Even when I didn't have weight to lose, I have always wanted to run. Every runner I see is lean, fit, has great legs, and did I say FIT? Right now, the elliptical is really my main form of exercise . I love it! Ultimately, having both in my life would be ideal. I have now lost 6 pounds, and beginning to feel something might be wrong with my system. I am not losing weight very fast. At my age I understand it comes off slower, however I am wondering if hormones aren't playing a significant role in the massive weight gain and the will power of it to STAY ON!! I literally have to burn 500 calories a day in a work out to see any result. Ok back to running.
So, I live in a rather nice middle class country home community. My neighbors are two police families that are always running up and down the roads. The very large neighbor lady who is always out for a walk (kudos to her) The teenage boys who run all over the place (probably for sports) and the few middle age women who walk their dogs and a very leisure pace obviously not for losing weight or they wouldn't be walking so slow. Here is my issue. My ThIGHS!!!
They rub together like I'm trying to make a boy scout campfire. They edge up my shorts between my legs and I have to pull them out all the time. Most of my weight has gathered on my thighs and my hips. I am very pear shaped. So in 90 degree weather I gues I need to buy some bike shorts and good running shoes to start this journey. Now you will see a fat chick in nice clothing trying to jog down our road.. lovely thoughts, lovely thoughts....
Ok now seriously. We all have struggled with self-esteem, self-worth, motivation to keep going. Laughing at ourselves is not only good therapy, its good motivation to keep going.
My parents are here for a visit and I've been doing very good so far! Slipped a few times of course. But overall I've been doing well.
Steps this week:
Start running (ok slow jog with my feet moving up and down)
Go me!!
What is my motivation?
To get rid of the slider thighs. You know what I'm talking about. How many of you end up with holes in your thigh area. Bleh..

I set a goal to run a mile....starting out small and then I will move to a Couch to 5K after I can manage the mile. I got an app called personal running trainer for my iPod - had to pay to get the mile trainer but it is so worth it. It starts you out slowly, goes for four weeks. I ended up taking an extra week. And I use my treadmill since it is so hilly around here (Nashville). I don't go as fast as I need to (going now at about 4.8 mph) so I am adapting it to my needs. First I will get to the mile, then I will build up speed, then I will start using the incline on the treadmill so that I can take it outdoors. It is working really well....I couldn't run for even 30 seconds but now I am up to eight minutes!
Sooo.....good luck, if I can do it, I know you can do it! BTW, I love your humor. I am pear shaped too.

I ditto the comment on the compression capri's. AWESOME. Good shoes, a good sports bra, foam roller and you are good to go!
A friend and I are starting out tomorrow evening with the C25K program. Just to get moving while our girls are in soccer. I cannot wait.

You've got this! A couple of things that may help with the thigh rub: a glide stick (sold at sports stores) and/or some compression pants/capris. That last one is only a recent discovery of mine. I have got some super thighs, too, but the compression capris I have at least help keep everything from jiggling around too much, and I don't get the painful thigh rub and no need for the glide stick like before. If you're self-conscious about wearing them, you can always put a pair of shorts on over them!
And yes, good running shoes are a MUST! I finally made the investment in a good pair and I can't believe I didn't earlier! It makes a huge difference. Just make sure you go to a good store and get fitted for them.

Good for you!
At the moment, I'm doing well if I manage out for a reasonably paced walk. I use my parents' dog as a good reason for going out, but with the dog, comes lots of stopping for sniffing (the dog, not me!) and dog owner responsibilities (a hem!) so a good pace is usually only lasts a short distance - oh, and then there's the stopping to "socialise" with other dogs.
Running (slow jogging even) is something that never appealed to me - I just can't seem to do it. However, I'm kind of feeling like I'd like to try. Where to start though... and like you say - everyone else out doing it is slim and fit. I would look rather ridiculous stomping along the road with my thighs rubbing together and belly and backside wobbling about. Best to leave it until the cover of darkness if I'm going to try, I think.
Good luck to you.

Hawaii is a beautiful place and a marriage here is an ideal way
for a couple to start life together.
For any person to lawfully marry in the State of Hawaii,
a license for that purpose must be obtained from an
authorized agent (HRS §572-1.7).
Once the license has been issued,
there is no waiting period before the marriage can take place.
The marriage license and the marriage certificate are different documents. The marriage license permits a marriage to take place. The marriage certificate indicates that a legal marriage has been performed.
The marriage certificate is prepared and filed by your licensed marriage officiate or performer with the Department of Health. A newly married couple receives one (1) certified copy of the marriage certificate at no extra charge, upon payment of the marriage license fee, which will be sent to the couple by mail (60-120 days) after the marriage has been performed. If a marriage certificate is needed sooner than this, you can apply for one or more additional certified copies.

New Orleans Saints Mark Ingram knows this is a make-or-break season. His fifth year option was not picked up, he is in a contract year, and Khiry Robinson is breathing down his neck for playing time.
So for Ingram, this camp is as important as any.
Ingram was expressing confidence about finally being healthy at this point last year. But a frustrating toe injury caused him to miss six games and put him on the back burner again.
Outside of a career-best 145-yard game against the Dallas Cowboys, his best work didn't come until a 97-yard rushing game against the Philadelphia Eagles in the playoffs.
Now Ingram has to channel that success into the next season. In the Saints intrasquad scrimmage on Saturday, he scored the first touchdown, a 10-yard handoff from Luke McCown, but was also stuffed inches short of the goal line a few plays later.
That inconsistency is still a work in progress.
"I thought it was up and down in the run game," Saints coach Sean Payton said of the scrimmage. "I thought we had some real good runs; the guys up front did a good job. At times, I think we missed some holes."
Ingram said the key to his success is learning to have the patience he didn't have when he entered the league off a Heisman winning career at Alabama.
He quickly found out the NFL wasn't a picnic, in terms of both opportunities and production.
"I think sometimes I press because sometimes I don't have as many opportunities so I'll get in and I'll press and I try to make a big play when I should just go with the flow of the game, make my read and take three or take two yards," Ingram said. "Instead I'll try to make a big play when it's not actually there. Just being patient, just being confident, going through my reads and sticking to them. Don't try to press and make big plays. They'll come."
But that wasn't all on Ingram, said right tackle Zach Strief. One has to look no further than the production of the offensive line, which allowed Drew Brees to get sacked 37 times and struggled with run protection.
Left tackle Charles Brown in particular had a difficult season that ended with him being replaced with Terron Armstead. Sometimes mistakes that looked like Ingram's fault may have not been, Strief said.
"There were times last year where we weren't giving him an opportunity to make a read," Strief said. "We were not doing the right things and so the reads get mushy. As a running back you say, 'I am going to put my head down and get what I can get.'"
Strief said Ingram got better as the season went on, and that went hand-in-hand with the play of the offensive line.
"I think Mark - you really saw as the year went on - did a better and better job and part of that is being comfortable not receiving 15-20 carries per game," Strief said. "It can be tough to get six carries and say, 'Oh well I wasn't good.' Sometimes the seventh one might break for 40 (yards), and then you go, 'Well that was a good game!' Seven for 50 yards, you did good."
Following Saturday's scrimmage, Strief said he was pleased to see how comfortable the line seemed with the blocking scheme overall. In several instances, the quarterbacks had several seconds to throw and find their targets.
"I think the backs did a real good job today of pressing aiming points," Strief said Saturday. "I think all in all, guys are just more comfortable with it. The more comfortable you are, the more confident you are in what you're doing, the faster you're going to play. That's the key to this game, how fast you can make the right decisions.
"There's a lot of work to do, there will be tons of stuff wrong, and yet you see some tough spots and you can grow off those."
Ingram said "the sky is the limit," as far as his expectations of himself go.
"My expectations are higher than anyone else you can think of," he said. "I want to be the best back that ever played the freakin' game of football."

Here comes another "Bachelorette" bride! Andi Dorfman plans to marry her new love Josh Murray – and they'll do it on TV. On Sunday, People posted the news that the newly engaged reality TV couple will tie the knot in a televised wedding.
This will mark the fifth time a couple from "The Bachelor" franchise will say their "I dos" in front of a TV audience.
In the live "After the Final Rose" special that followed Dorfman's "Bachelorette" season, happy groom-to-be Murray revealed, "We're thinking of a springtime wedding." The couple repeated that estimated date during an appearance on "Jimmy Kimmel Live."
And Dorfman previously dished to People that they'd love to share their big day with their loyal TV fans: "As long as I get to marry him … and they have to show the reception," she gushed.
Dorfman and Murray, 29, already both live in Atlanta, but past weddings from the franchise have taken place in California. If the happy couple follows the usual format, they'll be lots of behind the scenes footage of their big day, as well as a guest list that will include longtime host Chris Harrison as well as their favorite "Bachelor/ette" alums.
Earlier this year, "Bachelor" star Sean Lowe and his bride Catherine Giudici's TV wedding aired live, a first for the reality romance franchise. But according to E Online, the lovebirds' unusual "Grown Sexy" theme had their guest scratching their heads. Still, they were able to afford the services of "wedding planner to the stars" Mindy Weiss, and boast a Monique Lhuillier gown and a Dolce and Gabanna tux, most likely on ABC's dime.
In 2012, Ashley Hebert and J.P. Rosenbaum shared Jewish traditions when they wed on ABC, while Jason Mesnick and Molly Malaney's 2010 TV wedding feature the vocals of "American Idol" alum Jason Castro.
Of course, the "Bachelorette" wedding by which all others are measured is Trista and Ryan Sutter's rose-filled, pink-themed wedding in 2003. The happy couple was paid $1 million to get married on ABC. That's certainly better than any wedding gift.

FOC FOR 2.Jan.2010
Freedom Of Creation collaborated with Tjep to create a stunning scale model of the Tjep Oogst concept. Tjep is a design agency based in Amsterdam, in October 2008, Tjep. initiated an investigation into new developments in the agricultural sector. What they came across were radical ideas with regards to self-sufficiency, capable of getting us quite a bit closer to the concept of a sustainable society.
They approached Freedom Of Creation to create the scale model of the Oogst 01 concept explaining and visualizing the ideas in great detail.
About Oogst:
As a creative agency focusing on 3D design and visual communication, their approach was not technically oriented, but rather they chose to put the accent on cultural aspects and social implications through design. The central question that Tjep set themselves is: how can we, as designers, contribute to the fundamental developments that are taking place in Dutch agricultural research? Is self-sufficiency the path towards a more ecological sustainable society? And if so, on what scale is it workable? Can we combine the advantages of a globalized world with aspirations towards physical independence? These are some of the questions Oogst is trying contextualize. READ ON

The Guthrie's production of Noël Coward's smart romp Private Lives should have been wonderful. In fact, I don't know why it wasn't. It had everything going for it. The actors were outstanding. Peter Rothstein's stylized direction was inventive and playful, and the sets and costumes were divine. Peter Moore choreographed a deliciously ridiculous fight scene that included people breaking phonograph records over each other's heads. What's not to love? Maybe I inadvertently left my sense of humor in the parking garage.
Veanne Cox plays Amanda Prynne, an imperious, manipulative, and sexually irresistible divorcée. The play begins on the day she arrives at the Deauville, France, resort she's staying at for her honeymoon with her new husband, Victor Prynne (Kris L. Nelson). This is the same day that Elyot Chase—Amanda's droll, self-assured ex—arrives at the exact same Deauville, France, resort, where he's staying for his honeymoon with his new spouse. Better yet, their rooms share the same veranda (Above, photo by Michal Daniel). When Amanda and Elyot discover the situation, trouble ensues.
Both Amanda and Elyot (a divine Stephen Pelinski) have devoted a considerable amount of time to bad-mouthing their exes and thus refuse to tell their new partners about what's happened. Instead, Elyot and Amanda balk, preen, panic, and flirt. Realizing their all-consuming passion is as red-hot as ever, they ultimately decide to run off with each other. It's so wrong, but it feels so good!
Meanwhile, Elyot's new wife, Sybil—pretty-in-pink Tracey Maloney—is half his age and not very smart. (That's why he married her.) Victor, Amanda's nebbish husband, is naïve and forgiving. That's probably why Amanda married him. When Sybil and Victor figure out they've been ditched, they go searching for their egocentric other halves.
In the meantime, Elyot and Amanda have holed up in an opulent Parisian suite. Their relationship is as volatile, feisty, and sexually charged as ever. Just as in real life, passion doesn't always inspire domestic bliss, and much of the rest of the play consists of physical and verbal barbs (some subtle, some not), played with relish by Cox and Pelinski. Their chemistry and comedic precision propel the play toward its climax, which includes a brilliant cameo by Sally Wingert, who arrives via elevator in a cloud of smoke muttering unintelligibly in French.
To get back to my initial question: what's not to love? For me, personally, the script itself might be the problem. I appreciate Noël Coward's wit, but the plot and characters just didn't grab me the way I wished they would. If Rothstein could use the same cast for Blithe Spirit (another classic Coward farce, with a similar plot but involving a dead ex-wife and all sorts of hokie malarkey), I'd be a very happy theatergoer indeed. Maybe next season?

Summary of editorials from the Hebrew press
Summary of editorials from the Hebrew press
(Israel Government Press Office)
Yediot Aharonot
believes that "There is no need to emphasize that the infiltrators from Africa constitute a critical and dangerous problem for which it is difficult to find any rational and acceptable solution," but adds: "Israel must find such a solution because it is clear to all that the current situation cannot continue." The author, a Holocaust survivor, remarks that "The very fact that thousands of infiltrators could hold a protest demonstration in Tel Aviv proves beyond all doubt that Israel is a democratic and liberal country." The paper asserts: "Let no countries or self-righteous people accuse us of racism," and claims that many larger, wealthier countries treat African migrants far worse than Israel does. The author strongly criticizes those who illegally employ undocumented Africans, often paying them sub-minimum wages, and says: "Not only are they breaking the law, they are encouraging the arrival of additional infiltrators."
says: "Before beginning negotiations with the Palestinians, the Government declared that there would be no preconditions. But there were several conditions and the Government succumbed and chose to release murderers instead of freezing construction in the settlements. This was a bad and contemptible choice. But what does the Government do? Before every release, it declares tenders for construction in settlements and thus creates international opposition in which the world 'forgets' that we are releasing murderers (something that no enlightened country does!) and focuses on the settlements." The author also faults a ministerial committee for approving draft legislation "to annex the Jordan Valley," adding that "There will be no annexation, but this contributed to Israel's negative image in the world and gave the Palestinians more public relations ammunition."
Yisrael Hayom
compares the way Americans are coping with the severe winter weather that is currently hitting parts of the US with the way Israelis reacted to the storm of several weeks ago. The author contrasts Americans' composure with the situation here in which "Every tree that falls demands a managing director's resignation and every blackout requires the suspension of Electric Corp. personnel." The paper also notes that in the US, "Nobody is standing up in protest against 'government helplessness'."
The Jerusalem Post
commends the effort of US Secretary of State John Kerry, who, "singlehandedly and with prodigious exuberance," has managed "to breathe life into what many thought was a hopeless undertaking – the resolution of the Israeli-Palestinian conflict." The editor asserts: "Kerry's indefatigable efforts deserve to be praised and supported," and concludes: "He is working for an agreement that, if attained, would serve Israelis' cardinal interests – ensuring that the State of Israel remains both Jewish and democratic, and paving the way to peaceful relations not only with the Palestinians, but with all its Arab neighbors."
asserts that the proposal of a population swap as a basis of the agreement with the Palestinian Authority put forward on Sunday by Foreign Minister Avigdor Liberman has "the sole objective of further damaging the peace process." The editor believes that "Such proposals only increase the sense of alienation among Israeli Arabs and deepen their sense that they don't belong to their country," and calls on Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu to renounce it publicly, "the sooner the better."
[Noah Klieger, Amos Gilboa and Dr. Gabi Avital wrote today's articles in Yediot Aharonot, Ma'ariv and Yisrael Hayom, respectively.]
