R. M HENRY MEMBERS AND MEANS FOR MOLDING THEM Filed Dec. 5, 1947 SEAMLESS MOLDED FABRIC BREAST RECEIVING AND SUPPORTING Nov, 11, 1952 INVENTOR. RICHARD MAC HENRY 'BY Z I Patented Nov. 11, 1952 UNI TED STAT ES PATENT OFFI E SEAMLES S MOLDED FABRIC BREAST RE- CEIVING FAND' SUPPIORTING MEIVIBERS AND MEANS-FOR MOLDING'THEM-- Richard MacI-I'enr'y, Chester, Pa., assignor to American Viscose Corporation,
Del., a corporationofDelaware 1 Application December-5,1947, Serial N o.- 789,868 l 7 Clainisl '(Cl. 2-42) Thisinvention-'relates to seamless molded fabric breast receiving and supporting members,
and 'tofmeans' for molding the members from a flat fabric.
Cups or pockets for brassiere's' and similar gar mentsiare intended to fit snugly about the breast and to hold it in properly upliftedposition to impart the desired estheti'c shape; Molded seamless cups'orpocketsfwhich have been available heretofore have had the disadvantage thatthe bottom" sags in us'e, withinevitable dr'oo'ping of the breasts. This sagging of the bottom of the prior-art seamless cups under the weight'of'the breast is an inherent'd'efect in the cups and the inescapable'r'esult .of -the Shape imparted to the fabric-during the molding'or shaping operation. 7
The practice has been to-shape' the fabric on a mold having a generally round peripheral surface of the same curvature throughout. Regardless of size, thosecups always comprise an amount ofv fabric r in excess of that'requ'ire'd' for snug conforman'ce of the cup to the contours of thebreast which they are intended to fit, and for support ing the breast in the desired position. When the cups are worn, the excess fabric constitutes slack in the cu which permits the major portion of the load, i. e., the weight ofthe breast, to be concentratedjdirectly at'the bottomof the cup;
Due 'tolthe fact that he curvature of the surface of the cup is the same'atall portions, the bottom gives and sags out'of the desired shape" under the load. The sagging'can onlybe counteracted by very tight adjustment of the straps or the like of the garment'comprisi'ng the cups, which causes a drag or pull'on the shoulder's and around the torso of the wearer. Drago'rpull isexertedlin any case, because-the strain placed on the straps,
and therefore on the body of the wearer, by sag" ging of the bottom and 'drooping 'ofthe breasts,
is of at least .the same magnitude. as the strain caused by tightly drawn straps; So long aslithe peripheral surface of the cups is kept-inth'e desired-seamless or tuckless, condition," the tendency of the bottom to sea in' i'lsecannot'be overcome without strain on the body of the wearer. The object of this invention is to provide new seamless moldedfabricbreast receiving and supporting members which" comprise only s'ufhcient fabric \to insure snug fit of the member about the breast and tofsupportrit in properly uplifted;
disposition .Another object is to provide such M seamless members ,the bottomof which functions to distribute a greater portion ofvthe weight of the breast'toward and along the sides of the member than has beenthe ewithpr r a t seamless members. 'Another object is to provide seamless members the peripheral surface of which is of such shape. that the breast is held in the estheticall'y desirable uplifted position without strain on the body of the wearer or interference with complete 'freedom of body movement. A further" object is to provide a novel mold of special shape for use in" molding thenew members from a flat fabric. The seamless breast "receiving and supporting vmembers of the invention are moldedor' shaped on a mold having a peripheral surface, the outline of which is based'upon a conceptwhich is wholly novel in the manufacture of members of" this type; The mold is 'generallybreast shaped,
but one portion'of the peripheral "surface comprises a generally'trapezoidal portionextending from a point adjacent the base of the mold to"- Ward a plane, adjacentthe apex, but preferably extending clear to'the apex and has a reduced curvature (or convexity asviewed externally) as compared to the curvature of the" remaining portion of the surface." "When'the trapezoidal 'portion extends from the base tothe apex, it comprises a spherical triangular area, any portion of which other than that adjacent the apex' may be regarded asthe trapezoidal portion'referred to hereinabove. The portion comprising the generally trapezoidal portion is preferably flat or almost flat between'the sides joining it to the remaining portion of the surface. When a fabric is molded or shaped on the novel mold of the invention, the surface of the resulting breast= receiving and supporting'memberhas imparted to it a corresponding portion adapted to fit be-.
Because of" the difference in curvature of" the several 'portions of the surface of'the member and the consequent reduction ini'the amount of fabric comprising the memberon' the. supporting side; the member comprises only sufficient fabric 3 r to insure snug fit oflthe. member to the contours of the breast, when'the memberiis'of any given size correlated to the size 'of' the wearer. The curvature 'of the generally trapezoidal portion is such that the bottom of the member isselfloading, i. e., under load it rounds out to the shape of a shallow catenary curve corresponding to the proper breast shape desired. Since the member is free of slack, and the bottom cannot sag, the bottom accepts a portion of the load but also functions to distribute a greater proportion of the weight of the breast toward the opposite ends of the catenary and along the sides of the member than would be done by a member formed without the portion of reduced curvature. The breast is suspended in the catenary, from the opposite ends thereof, in such a manner that the weight is more equally distributed and the breast is held in proper uplifted condition. The portion of reduced curvature performs the function of distributing the weight of the breast in the member, in such a fashion that the breast itself serves to mold the member to the final desired shape. The member is thus rounded out to shape, and the breast is molded to and supported in uplifted position by virtue of the cooperation of the breast receiving and supporting member with the breast, and without benefit of any extraneous aids.
The portion of reduced curvature preferably occurs at the center of the bottom of the member, and may occupy up to one-half of the underside of the member. Preferably, the portion occupies approximately one-third of the underside of the member.
The new breast receiving and supporting members comprising the self-loading bottom are made by molding a fiat fabric comprising thermoplastic yarns on a generally breastshaped mold, a portion of the peripheral surface of which comprises a generally trapezoidal portion as described herein. In the preferred embodiment of the invention, the fiat fabric comprises thermoplastic, potentially heat-shrinkable yarns in the non-thermoplastic, non-softened condition, and the fabric, after fitting thereof to the contours of the mold, is uniformly heated to effect shrinkage of the individual heat-shrinkable yarns, thereby producing, by such shrinkage, a bust receiving and supporting member having molded directly therein a segment comprising the generally trapezoidal portion, and stabilized in the shape of the mold. By fitting the fabric to the contours of the mold is meant placing the fabric on the mold and smoothing it or pulling it out to conform to the mold and so that it is substantially free of wrinkles or folds, without subjecting it to a tension substantially greater than the tension to which a knitted fabric is subjected when it -is pulled out to its normal, full machine dimensions.
The fabric may be woven or knitted, and is preferably knitted, but in any case, when the fabric comprises heat-shrinkable yarns, as is preferred, the individual yarns in the shaped fabric are substantially uniformly shrunk and reduced in diameter, after the heat-treatment, as compared to the diameter of the yarns in the fiat fabric, and prior to the heating and shrinking step. Knitted fabrics of all types may be molded in accordance with the invention. As an example, the fabric may be of the circular knit type, the stitches of which are formed by interlocking loops. In the normal condition of such a fabric is fitted to the single mold member of the invention and heated, the slack is removed from the round end of each of the loops, with straightening or tautening thereof. In the shaped and stabilized fabric, i. e., in the molded bust receiving and supporting members, each of the loops, comprises two straight sides and a straight end, joined by substantially straight or squared corners. Shrinkage of the individual yarns and straightening of the normally slack ends of the loops serves to stabilize the fabric in the shape of the mold.
Again, the fabric may be of the warp knit type, that is, a multiple warp fabric in which the warps form an interlocking system. In fabrics of that type, each wale, in each course, is joined to a wale in another course, by yarns extending diagonally of the wales. In their normal state, the yarns forming the loops comprising the wales or ribs of the fabric are comparatively soft and full, and the loops are comparatively loose and slack. The yarn extending diagonally of the wales is also comparatively full and slack and, upon close examination, the diagonally extending yarns appear to lie in a loose, bulky condition on the back of the fabric, the individual fibers of the yarn being spread out and discernible. When, such a warp knit fabric comprising heat-shrinkable potentially thermoplastic yarn is fitted to a single mold member having a portion comprising a generally trapezoidal portion, in accordance with the invention, and heated, the yarns forming the ribs or wales, and the diagonally extending yarns which join the courses together, are individually shrunk and compacted, and reduced in diameter. The loops forming the wales or ribs in the shaped and stabilized fabric appear to be elongated, with their opposite sides drawn more closely together than in the fiat fabric, while the yarns extending diagonally of the wales are drawn taut and lie fiat on the back of the fabric.
Regardless of the type of knitted fabric molded, when it comprises heat-shrinkable yarns, it is stabilized in the shape of the mold by removal of the slack resulting from shrinkage of the yarns uniformly at all portions of the fabric, and the molded fabric member is substantially lacking in stretchability. The stitches of the shaped knitted fabrics comprising the individually shrunk yarns may slip relatively to each other, as for instance, when they are handled during laundering, but do not give under stress. The support provided by the portion comprising the generally trapezoidal portion of reduced curvature molded into the members is reinforced by the slack-free condition of the individual stitches of the fabric.
The invention is illustrated in the accompanying drawing in which:
Figure 1 is a plan view of a mold according to the invention;
Figure 2 is a side view of the mold of Figure 1;
Figure 3 is a fragmentary view, in section, showing details of the mold of Figures 1 and 2;
Figure 4 is a plan view of the bust receiving and supporting member of the invention;
Figure 5 is a side view of the member of Figure 4;
Figure 6 is an elevation of apparatus comprising the mold of Figures 1 and 2; and
Figure 'I is a view of an assembled brassiere comprising the novel breast receiving and supporting members of the invention.
Referring to Figures 1 and 2, there is shown a mold 2 of generally breast shape, the peripheral from the upper edge of the shallow groove 5 'ly" ing adjacent th baseof the mold, to'the apex. As actually shown," portion 4 comprises a spherical surface3 of which comprises aportion t comprising a generallytrapezoidal portion extending triangular area defined bycurved sides [6 and l'l-J' The groove5 is provided so that when'the fabric 1 is heated in situ on the mold, the yarns in-the portion thereof overlying the groove are spaced away from-the surface of the mold'and are not afiectedby the heat or* are affected to a lesser'...
extent than the remaining yarnsgand-eitherdonot shrink or shrink: to a lesserextent, to provide a comparatively *soft sewing edge on the breast receiving and supporting member. -'Instead of-a groove, the mold may be provided-with an insert -or band of a-material which does'not yarns is in'place on' the mold; to' set the yarns in the shrunk state,- fo'r instance; by subjecting it to a stream'ofcold air.
Instead of heating the fabric on the mold in the manner describedgiother means for applying a controlled amount of heat, either wet or dry, uniformly to all portions of. the fabric may be used; For example; the molds may be heated in-i conduct heatgthe portion of the fabric in con tact with such insert being substantially unaffected by the heat treatment. -Imbedded' inthe base of the mold,-- and extending peripherally-- thereof is a heating wire Shaving connections to a source of electric current (see Fig.8). "The wire is imbedded in a non-conductivecementing material I5.

Groove 5may' be, and as shown, is, ir-
regular in outline, andis wider at one side of the shaped fabric are the sameas the dimensions of mold than at" the other-to provide a soft edge 1',
(Fig. 4) of varyingdepth onthe molded fabric member. That portion'of' the soft edge having the greater width occurs at the top of the memher in use and permits the edge to be doubled-upon itself during sewing and finishing.
Figures 4 and 5 are illustrative of'a bust'receiving and supporting-memberobtained by shaping a fiat knitted fabric comprising thermoplastic yarns on the mold of Figures 1 and 2. .The shaped fabric has a peripheral surface 8 having-a curva-' ture corresponding to the peripheral surfacei'of the mold and comprising a portion 9, comprising ternally yby-'means of' hot water, heating coils, etc.,- the 'heat"-:being transmitted to the fabric through-the mold.

WhiIe it'is preferredto stabilize the' flat fabric .1 .1 in the shapeof the new mold "by shrinkage of the individual thermoplastic yarns, because of the desirableproperties of the molded fabric membersthus 'obtained,'such as uniformity of the yarns atall porti'onsof the fabric, a slick smooth feel," and uniform translucent appearance, and
the fact that'the transverse dimensions of the the fabric'prior toheating thereof, the fabric in the thermoplastic condition may also be stretched over and in conformity with the moldand then set in the stretchedpondition, or it maybe overstretc'hed and then'shrunk back to the shape of the mold.
The'fiat fabrics may comprise any filaments or yarns, including yarns comprising discontinuous fibers, formed'from a thermoplastic material, in-
cluding the vinyl resins,'nylon, cellulose acetate inethe thermoplastic state, and the like. When it is desired to effect the shaping by uniform shrinka generally trapezoidal portion of reduced curva ture'and corresponding in outline to portion 4'of the mold. As shown, segment Bis almost'flat be tween the sides of the trapezoid joining it to the remaining portion of the member.
Figure '7 illustrates. a brassiere. comprising breast receiving and supporting members in accordance-with the invention, the straps l8 and I9 being secured at the outwardly jutting points 2!] of the member,- and "to thebo'dy encircling member 2|.
The fabric fitted to the contours ofthe mold may be heated to efiect'uniformshrinkage and reduction in the diameter of the individual yarns.
age of "the thermoplastic-yarns, the yarns may be formed from filaments or fibers of a thermoof the fabric in any suitable manner. One means for accomplishing this is illustrated in Figure 6. In Figure 6 there'is shown a chamberi? contain-.4 ing a supporting surface I 0 which supports a plu-f rality of molds ,ll of the type shown-more fully chamber through a pipe l3 and introduced into.
l3a provided with outlets leadingto the interionfl .65 in Figures. 1 and 2. Steam is injected into the spontaneously while remaining intact when the fa-bric ishe'ated to a temperaturebelow the melting and decompositiontemperatures for the thermoplastic; In a preferred'embodiment of the invention, the 'heat shrinkable-yarns or filaments are form'e'd from' fiber-forming resins resulting fromthe polymerization of one or more substances containing the vinyl radical. Examples of such materials'are the acrylate and alkacrylate resins, polymers" of'vinyl-esters such as vinyl acetate, polymers of'vinyl ethers' such as vinyl ac'etals,
methacrylate polymers, and copolymers'or inter-" polymers'of vinyl halides. with other organic" polymerizable s'ubstanc'escontaining the vinyl radical'i:
In a specifically; "preferred "embodiment, the
heat-shrinkable: yarns or filaments comprise :a
. copolymer "of 'vinyl "chloride with vinyl acetate, the interior of the molds through. the manifoldcontainingabout vinyl chloride in the "copolymer molecule,oracopolymer of vinyl chloride and acrylonitrile containing'tabout 55% vinyl chloride in' the 'copolymermoleculer Such -filaments or yarns may be rendered heat-shrinkable by subjecting them to a stretch of from to 1200% or more during their production, or subsequently to their production but prior to their fabrication, and while in a cold unsoften-ed state, or in somewhat softened and plastic condition. Generally, the filaments or yarns so. stretched have, prior to their fabrication, a residual shrinkage capacity of at least 50% at temperatures below the melting and decomposition temperatures for the resin. As an example, such prestretched yarns comprising a copolymer of vinyl acetate and vinyl chloride have a residual shrinkage capacity of at least 50% at temperatures of from 85 to 95 C.
Breast receiving and supporting members having a self -loading bottom constituted by a portion of the peripheral surface comprising a portion of reduced curvature as described herein may also be molded from woven fabrics comprising thermoplastic yarns.
By the practice of this invention, a self-loading. non-sagging bottom is molded integrally with remaining portions of the members, the self-loading bottom being independent of any darts, tucks, seams, or the like in the molded fabric.
The members of the invention may be laundered and manipulated without permanent loss of shape, the shape being immediately restored by molding of the member to the desired shape, by the breast itself, when the members are worn.

Colorado State's coaching staff will be at full strength Wednesday when the Rams open their first spring under Jim McElwain. The Rams' new head coach on Tuesday announced the hiring of Greg Lupfer as defensive line coach. The move also means co-defensive coordinator Marty English will shift his position-coaching responsibility from defensive line to linebackers, a position he'll share with Tim Skipper in the Rams' multiple defense. Co-defensive coordinator Al Simmons continues to coach the secondary.

I need the money to be able to return back to school. I have successfully endured some major medical issues that forced me to discontinue my academic goals. It's pretty bad when a company exploits individuals with minimal incomes who are trying get assistance to improve themself's. I asked to get my fee back, and of course, I still haven't received a response.
I spoke to a Doug Johnson initially. I've left several messages for him and of course no response. I urge anyone who is thinking of using this company to look elsewhere.

Charleston, W.Va. (AP) -- Three people accused of scamming insurance companies by staging accidents and faking injuries have been indicted on charges of conspiracy, and mail and wire fraud.
West Virginia Insurance commissioner Jane Cline says this week's federal indictments are the result of a two-year investigation.
Charged are 36-year-old James Woodson of Clarksburg, 28-year-old Jennifer Mills of Weston and 32-year-old Christopher Bragg of Salem.
Mills also goes by the name Jennifer Woodson.
Cline said thursday the 11-count indictment charges them with defrauding insurance companies, health care providers and other businesses between July 2001 and April 2007.
She says they staged at least 24 crashes, then tried to file false insurance claims.
It could not immediately be determined whether they have lawyers.

Dyslexia…the road I've traveled
The Lord has blessed me with eight wonderful children. Of those eight, two have Dyslexia, and I am suspicious that the five year old may also be dyslexic. Dyslexia runs in families, so it is an inherited gene. It can be mild or severe. One in five people have some form of dyslexia.
In the 90's I had suspicions that something was not quite right concerning the area of reading with my second born daughter. She had a very hard time learning to read, even with intensive phonics instruction. She also had a lot of difficulty memorizing her math facts. I took her to a respected physiologist who administered several tests, at that time he determined that her issues were ADD related. As her mom, I knew this did not sound right. Not knowing what else to do I continued with phonics and comprehension skills throughout her school years.
When her younger brother began to have the same struggles, I started doing my own research, which was much easier now than it was in the 90's with so much more information available on the internet. I had suspected he might have dyslexia because unlike my older daughter he continued letter reversal well into third grade. I began to educate myself on the signs of dyslexia. I then had him tested and I asked that a Woodcock Johnson be one of the tests administered. This particular test will indicate if a child has phonemic awareness issues. The test indicated he did indeed have phonemic awareness issues. With this information, I had my daughter who was now a freshman in college evaluated also using the Woodcock Johnson and with no surprise, she had the same issue. I am happy to say she is now doing well and receiving the accommodations she needs so that she can be successful through college.
I want to encourage you that if you think your child might have a learning difficulty, or be dyslexic, it usually takes several tests to determine what the issue may actually be. You cannot depend on one specific test. My son had several tests administered and each corroborated the other. Because Dyslexia can be mild, moderate, or severe, using one single test is not recommended. Because dyslexia is hereditary, I knew what we were looking for with my older child.
Having a name to put on their struggles has set both of my children free. They now know they really are intelligent, they just learn in a different way. In fact, dyslexics are gifted in areas controlled by the right side of their brain. They are usually gifted in these areas: art, music, athletics, mechanical ability, great people skills, 3-D visual spatial skills and more.
As a parent, when one of your children struggles you will do whatever you can to help them. The first thing I did was hire a Wilson language tutor until I could get the training I needed to help my son. Little did I know at that time that I would have the privilege to use my training to help other students who struggle with the same issues.
If you have a child whom you think may have phonemic awareness issues a reading program based on the Orton-Gillingham method has research-based evidence that shows it to be very effective. Orton-Gillingham is different from other reading programs because of what is taught and how it is taught. Dyslexia is not a maturity issue, Meaning a child with dyslexia won't "grow out of it." The earlier it is detected the better.
Here are three Orton-Gillingham based programs you might want to consider.
Wilson Language Program– This is the one I use at a small Christian School where I am now the Reading Specialist.
All About Learning– I have not used this program, but from what I see online it is Orton -Gillingham based. It may be a great home school option.
Barton Reading System & Spelling– This is another great Orton-Gillingham based program.
Here is a little more information about what dyslexia actually is. Most of my information came from Susan Barton's site. She has a wealth of information.
What exactly is Dyslexia? According to the National Institute of Health…
- "Dyslexia is a specific learning disability that is neurological in origin.
- It is characterized by difficulties with accurate and/or fluent word recognition, and by poor spelling and decoding abilities.
- These difficulties typically result from a deficit in the phonological component of language that is often unexpected in relation to other cognitive abilities and the provision of effective classroom instruction.
- Secondary consequences may include problems in reading comprehension and reduced reading experience that can impede growth of vocabulary and background knowledge."
Phonemes are the smallest unit of spoken language. Children who do not have phonemic awareness cannot distinguish sounds within spoken words. If a child has phonemic awareness, issues they will have difficulty with letter sound relationships.
The NIH states…
- "The lack of phonemic awareness is the most powerful determinant of the likelihood of failure to learn to read."
- "Phonemic awareness is more highly related to learning to read…than tests of general intelligence, reading readiness, and listening comprehension."
- "Phonemic awareness is the most important core and causal factor separating normal and disabled readers."
Common myths about dyslexia such as dyslexics see words and letter backwards
When my Dyslexic children have a hard day, I remind them that God has made them for His glory. Their Dyslexia was not an accident. It is part of His plan, and He will use it for His Glory if they will let Him.
"Bring all who claim me as their God, for I have made them for my glory. It was I who created them." Isaiah 43:7
"My thoughts are nothing like your thoughts," says the Lord. "And my ways are far beyond anything you could imagine" Isaiah 55:8

Thank you for this post! My daughter is in the 3rd grade and is currently in the process of going through a pre-test for dyslexia. I have it myself and see some signs with my daughter. My son who has been in a speech intervention program since he was 3 is also showing some signs. Both of my kids are so smart and I am so blessed that God chose them to be their mother, but I know it can be hard finding the right avenues to their particular learning. Thank you for sharing this information.

Right-back Lichaj, an ever present for Forest so far in the league, received his fifth yellow card of the season prior to the international break as the Reds won 3-1 at Brighton, which is likely to open the door for Gonzalo Jara Reyes to make his first league appearance of the campaign.
On-loan Chelsea midfielder Chalobah is also banned after he was sent off in against Albion and Guy Moussi could be recalled to replace the England Under-21 international.
Defender Kelvin Wilson is still rated as 'touch and go' to recover from the back injury he suffered against Middlesbrough last month so Danny Collins looks likely to keep his place in the team.

Slothtrop Music was founded in 1995 to promote and nurture independent musicians. By all accounts we've succeeded. Since then we've expanded to four divisions (Records, Publishing, Management & Consulting) and helped hundreds of artists while at the same time putting out some pretty great music. Take a look around, we're sure you'll find something you'll love!
"Come out, come out on the edge…" those are the words that begin the newest release from Austin based band The Please Please Me. It's an invitation to climb into the microcosm created by this up-and-coming electro pop act. Filled with a heady mixture of affliction and joy Volume 2 finds the group poised to step outside of the indie rock box, exploring corners and crevices rarely plumbed in today's music scene.
Slothtrop Records first ever Christmas CD featuring ten artists doing ten holiday themed tunes. The album has its share of happy music, and even has some nauseatingly sweet tunes. However, some songs in this collection invoke darker moods, moods usually referred to only in talk shows: "All I got for Christmas" does its best to fight the Christmas Blues the singer seems to be suffering, "Bethlehem" talks about loneliness, enuii and fading dreams while retelling the Joseph and Mary story in modern terms. Some Christmas classics lift the mood of the release in a good way, as they're done straight without being nauseatingly so, kind of like Christmas with the Family. We hope you enjoy our little record and have a great holiday season!
Hey all you reindeer, we're here to tell you that Dan Kennedy is one hep cat, dig? His new collection of Holiday tunes "Red and Green and Blue" is so groovaliciuos Santa might miss his big night. Mr Kennedy and his little elves have cooked up one toasty CD. Featuring six songs ranging from blues to jazz, it's the gift that will keep on giving. Perfect for the beatnik in your life (and everyone else too!). So don't be a square, pick up a copy today!

Wilfredo Vazquez Jr. is Waiting on Donaire's Next Move
By Ryan Burton
BoxingScene.com recently caught up with promoter Felix "Tutico" Zabala of All Star Boxing Promotions. Zabala was in Carson, California to watch the HBO televised showdown between WBO super bantamweight champion Nonito Donaire (30-1, 19KOs) and Japanese veteran Toshiaki Nishioka.
Zabala had great interest in the fight because his boxer Wilfredo Vazquez Jr. (22-2-1, 19KOs) won an eliminator last week against Jonathan Oquendo, which made him the mandatory challengfer to the WBO belt. Donaire retained the title with a ninth round stoppage of Nishioka.
"We want that [Donaire] rematch too but it is a lot more difficult to make," he continued pointing out that a rematch of their February 2012 fight probably isn't high on Donaire's list of priorities.
There is also some discussion about Donaire potentially moving up to the featherweight division.
"I read that Donaire might move up to featherweight in his next fight so there is a possibility that Wilfredo will be fighting for a vacant title. That is why I am here. There are a lot of possibilities," Zabala revealed.

I recently discovered a, "add-on/Plugin" on my blog site. When I right click I see a No/dofollow option, on the right click menu. On my dashboard, wherever I see the "admin" tab, it appears as bright red; also, when I try to log in to the dashboard, the area around the username and password is also showing a bright red colour!
Now, inside my dashboard, whenever I click on one of the Bright red admin tabs, I am taken to the relevant page of my blog; however, after a few seconds, the page changes to a page full of adverts for "Steve McQueen" label clothes. At the top of this page my blog name WorldWar2Blogspot is clearly shown, like a H1 header.
I'd be very grateful if someone can cast some light on this and show me how to remove this problem.

Release Date:
August 2, 2011
Nickelodeon's Victorious may have been designed as the children's network's answer to Disney Channel series and TV movies like Hannah Montana and High School Musical, but its setting in a performing arts high school sounds more like the movie, TV series, and stage musical Fame. In any case, star Victoria Justice is fitted into standard-issue teen pop on much of this soundtrack album. Tracks like "Make It Shine (Victorious Theme)" (repeated in a different version under the title "Leave It All to Shine" by Justice and Miranda Cosgrove at the end) and "Freak the Freak Out" are typical of the genre, with their relentless beats, synthesized instrumentations, nonstop simple, repetitive choruses, and Auto-Tune vocals. "All I Want Is Everything," with its name-drops to Madonna and "M.J." (Michael Jackson), gives away the antecedents, while "Give It Up" sounds like a Britney Spears reject. The remake of the Jackson 5's "I Want You Back" demonstrates that bubblegum pop hasn't changed much in 40 years. The lyrical themes tend toward light romance, happy and sad, and assertions of self-worth like "Song 2 You," which suggests that it's possible to be content, even without designer clothes. Of course, what really matters is what Justice and her earnest fellow cast members look like, not what they sound like, especially given the cookie-cutter nature of this music. ~ William Ruhlmann, Rovi

relationship give & take
hi folks.
I'm having some trouble resolving some relationship stuff. I'm sure the internet is not a good advice source, but here I am. I'm basically bad at saying things to get across what I mean. (ie people misunderstand me, I sound like a jerk, etc)
Anyway, I'm seeing someone & have been for a few months. I like her but I feel like I give alot and it isn't really reciprocated. Not that every little thing has to be even, but I AM a poor student (literally, I haven't been able to afford my rent since about december, even though I work etc). I cook alot and she eats at my place pretty often (like a few breakfasts/dinners a week). She doesn't really cook so I've never eaten at her place. She doesn't usually offer to help chop/cook/do dishes. We sometimes get groceries together and split the bill, but usually keep them at my place and I cook everything. We haven't done this since before xmas break.
Basically, I am frustrated and stressed because
a) I have no money to provide food for a second person,
and b) I feel like a housewife, although we don't live together, and I like cooking for people once in a while but I don't want to be a housewife!
I'm not sure how to talk to her about this. I feel like she needs to be more independent of me, and more understanding of my lack of money. Yesterday on campus I took out $20 for lunch and she had no food, so I bought some for her, and all of the money was gone by the end of the day. We rarely buy each other food on campus.
Anyway, on top of my job cutting my hours, struggling to finish school and trying to find a new job, this is really stressful to me even though it seems small. I suppose this post is mostly for venting, but I don't really know how to talk to her about it without hurting her feelings. I feel like I give so much and I can't afford to, especially when I don't get much in return. anyone have a simliar issue?
Be up front and honest.
Tell her that money is tight. Go ahead and explain how tight. Tell her you like dining with her, and that you want to think of ways to keep doing that.
If this goes well, ask her to help. A lot of people will assume that if you're not asking for help, you don't nee it. So ask her, "Please chop this" or to help wash dishes.
It's a bum situation, to be sure. But speak up first. If she is still mooch-ish.... RUN!
Yeah. In terms of food prep, I wouldn't "talk" to her about it. If it was me and I was doing dinner prep, I'd just simply ask her to chop. Who doesn't like to be in the kitchen and help during food prep?? That's time for great, fun conversation. For cleanup, I'd ask her if she wants to wash and rinse or dry and put away.
In terms of a food budget, I'd probably weasel out of a conversation about that, too. If she was coming over and you knew what you might make, like pasta, ask her to swing by the store and pick up some noodles and/or sauce.
Toward the end of college I got really broke and had about $12 a week for food. I ate a lot of beans and rice (no condiments or other toppings or a tortilla or anything). If it comes down to it, have that on hand. If she's coming over, tell her you have beens and rice and to pick something up on her way if she wants anything on it.
If she's resentful of food prep, clean up, or contributing to meals, it's time to evaluate the relationship.
Yes, get this out on the table. Away from an actual meal scenario. I mean, don't wait to bring it up until the next time you're stuck with paying for lunch...but sometime when you're just walking and talking, or even on the phone. Just say it. Offer to get together at other times of day if you can, or just suggest that she chip in, both monetarily and with the work.
Be honest. Tell her you wish you could be generous all the time, but you can't. And that you're starting to feel uncomfortable with her lack of help. She may be blissfully unaware--some people are--but a little embarassment may make her stop and think. If she gets mad and "guilts" on you, she's a mooch. And you don't need a mooch.
I can understand your situation! The way it works with my and my bf is that I cook for the 2 of us and buy the groceries, and the bf washes dishes, does laundry and buys gas, and we split rent equally. Relationships are all about fairness and compromise, don't be afraid to be open about financial stuff with your gf. Tell her you're trying to save up money but finding it hard when paying for food for 2 people. Lots of young ladies are just plain spoiled and they don't know better, or they are looking for a sugar daddy.
I think the best thing is to be honest and up front. If you keep it about you and not about her, she is less likely to get defensive. This is probably a really good thing. I think it is important for relationships to go through these types of conflicts. How you two handle this will be a good indicator of how future (bigger?) problems will be handled. You deserve to have the relationship you want, and you deserve to be equal. ;)
and you need to nip it in the bud now - the longer you drag it out, the more set in her ways she'll be and the angrier you're going to get. address this - like today!
It might help to write it all down so you can think it out and get what you want to say straight in your mind. Be kind, but watch out. She may try to talk you down or change the subject or make it all about how unkind you are.
And when you've said what you have to say, stop talking. Some people when they're on the defensive will try to fill up any silence with talk, and thereby give themselves away. Others let that silence fall to see what will happen. Use silence as an ally. (Thank you, Sun-Tzu).
it sounds like pro/con list time. but i agree with the above--try to give her a ticket for the clue bus.
I absolutely agree with talking to her, especially about asking for help. It may honestly be that she hasn't thought about it and it's well worth requesting that she pick up some groceries or making an agreement to divide the chores up. I never have a problem with cooking for my guy but he knows washing up is his duty - plus he'll often bring round a dessert or something.
When I heard of the community I thought it would be wonderful to expand to a new community, meet
like minded people and share thoughts and services with fellow members.
My name is Victoria Yuna Logan from San Jose, California
Do look forward of building great relationship with the members here.
It's nice to meet everyone, and I hope to make some friends while posting here.
Hi Yuna! Welcome! You might want to try this same post in "Happy Hour"! Thanks!

Labor has spent our savings - and its credibility
Andrew Bolt
–, Monday, January, 28, 2013, (8:50am)
Henry Ergas says Labor went on a massive spending spree that's destroyed its fiscal credibility:
Here is what [Julia Gillard] said in the lead-up to Australia Day last year: "… My firm conclusion is that handing down a budget surplus in May is the right call in the present economic circumstances."
Having now abandoned that commitment, the government, instead of putting any alternative in its place, has focused on finding excuses for its backflip.
Spending, it claims, has been squeezed so hard you can hear the pips squeak, but slow world growth has held back revenues....
That explanation doesn't stand up to scrutiny… In 2008-09 and 2009-10, Labor massively increased government spending, taking it to a higher share of GDP than at any time since 1993-94. That surge was meant to be wound back once the economy recovered; but though growth was well above trend by 2011-12, the increase was never reversed, with new spending programs being ramped up as stimulus measures were phased out.
As a result, since Labor was elected, per capita government expenditure has increased by 3 per cent a year in real terms, more than double the rate at which it grew under John Howard.

talking of g'ment spending - is it really ok to spend so much in advertising g'ment handouts with i am sure more to come in july august
Mon 28 Jan 13 (09:15am)
Well if so much credibility has been lost, how do you explain Australia's AAA rating, one of only a handful of countries in the world?… seems our credibility is actually doing great, if looking at an objective measure…
Rolling out a partisan expert (everyone knows Ergas is partisan) to push this myth that Australia is doing badly is ridiculous…
The OECD and IMF both gave Australia very positive reviews.. i.e.many economists think we are doing just fine..
Oh, and I am still waiting for the economy to self destruct due to the carbon tax.. weren't we expecting economic armageddon, according to you and Tony?
Mon 28 Jan 13 (09:20am)
Mon 28 Jan 13 (09:56am)
EVERYONE is partisan, Chris.
You cannot equate reckless government spending with Australia "holding a AAA credit rating". That broad expression is meaningless: such ratings apply to particular classes of borrowing/lending, and those ratings are reviewed regularly. There will be a rating for particular projects - like the new shale oil find in SA, the Woodside-Shell NW Shelf project etc. And there will be a rating for private borrowing as well as each government's borrowing.
Finally, like exchange rates, such ratings are not absolute measures, but relative measures - comparing classes of borrowing for various risk factors. So our AAA may be the result of lots of others (e.g. Greece, Portugal, Italy) going down the gurgler.
The OECD and the IMF report like consultants - they ask you a lot of questions, then tell you what you have told them: akin to borrowing your watch to tell you the time and then walking off with it! So much cof their reporting will be whatever teh government has already told them. Sometimes it's called "patting yourself on the back".
"Many economists"? Is that like "almost all scientists"? Some things (such as the truth) are not a matter of majority opinion.
And about the so-called carbon tax, which is actually a tax on efficiency (via energy use): would you care to explain why my electricity bills have gone up 20% over the past year, and why I have just received notice of another 10% increase? I have to spend less on other things to be able to afford to keep the 'frig running.
Mon 28 Jan 13 (09:58am)
You've clearly had your head up the wrong channel ... OECD and IMF are incapable of economic rationalism; if they were at any time credible how come they didn't see the GFC coming, and why didn't they implement measures to prevent the EU economies like Greece, Spain, Italy, Portugal and others from becoming socialist basket cases ? Ditto USA.
Carbon Tax is just another tax that we don't need ... like the current feral government. Children destroying a previously vibrant economy.
Mon 28 Jan 13 (10:27am)
Thats how spinners work ....Chris.
Spinners quoting spinners saturating the media print and airwaves. Never mind reality and that the IMF stated that Howard was the biggest spender and wasted the mining BOOM…
Ergas is a conservative and bias in his reporting… while the IMF is NON-PARTISAN.
So then conservatives spin that the IMF (lol) and The World Bank (lol) are leftist.. along with Moodys, Standard % Poors and Fitch International, that awarded Australia AAA.
Of course they are...!!!!
According to conservatives, who have divivded this country like never before, anyone who is not conservative is leftist as there are NO ethical non-bias organisations in economics or science.
It's childs play…
Mon 28 Jan 13 (10:40am)
So they same ratings companies that gave sub-prime loans AAA ratings, give it to the Australian government, that prints it's own money, and this somehow means something?
You ignore what the ALP inhereted (no debt, flexible IR system, low taxes) and what they will leave when they are turfed out (hundreds of billions in debt, dark age IR system, taxes increased accross the board).
You then use the IMF and OECD as some sort of econimic geniuses? The same people that failed to predict the GFC and then said that higher taxes would save Europe from disaster? The same people that have let Europe become a socialist nightmare?
You lefties really are a funny, reality starved, lot aren't you? It never ceases to amaze me how willing you are to ignore basic, undeniable, facts in favour of your own warped delusions.
You are nothing but economic illiterates that are too stubborn and ignorant to know it, if you weren't you wouldn't be leftists!
Mon 28 Jan 13 (10:56am)
Well Streetcred, in fact the ratings agencies giving us AAA ratings are private companies.
And the free market itself obviously rates us a having a lot of credibility as our bond yields are low.. and as for the IMF and OECD not predicting the GFC.. well did Ergas see it coming? you seem to think he is capable of 'economic rationalism'.
Even Greenspan, who steered the economy directly at the GFC without wavering, after he hit it he said "oops, now I understand the limits of uncontrolled free markets"…
well to be precise:
Mr. GREENSPAN: Flaw in the model that I perceived is a critical functioning structure that defines how the world works, so to speak.
Rep. WAXMAN: In other words, you found that your view of the world, your ideology was not right. It was not working.
Mr. GREENSPAN: How it - precisely. That's precisely the reason I was shocked, because I've been going for 40 years or more with very considerable evidence that it was working exceptionally well.
Mon 28 Jan 13 (11:12am)
The OECD said Australia didn't have enough debt and you treat their opinion as credible?
Mon 28 Jan 13 (11:12am)
If you think our economy is doing so well, you'll need to explain why the Reserve Bank has been lowering interest rates.
many economists think we are doing just fine..
And many economists don't.
according to you and Tony?
Perhaps you could provide a quote..
Mon 28 Jan 13 (11:29am)
That's not an objective measure. It's a relativistic one. Therein lies your misunderstanding.
Now, can you figure the rest out by yourself, or do you need to be spoonfed it?
Mon 28 Jan 13 (11:37am)
Sorry Chris you fail Economics 101, look at the 250 billion dollar foreign debt that Labor has racked-up. We are now paying over a billion in interest per month. Admittedly it will be about 5 or six years before our debt will be the same as our GDP, but by then we will be another Greece, Spain, Portugal etc. You are comparing an alcoholic who still isn't showing outward signs of disease with his alcoholic next door neighbor who is terminal and requires a liver transplant. Both are headed towards destruction.
Andrew, all of this just highlights a gaping hole in our nation's constitution that permits idiots such as goose to obey his mongrel masters & gleefully destroy the economy of one of the very few world's economies with normally positive prospects!

Wrong! This is all wrong! Wayne Swan is the greatest treasurer in the universe! Everyone knows that! The debts not the ALP's fault. They saved us from the GFC, even though stimulus made is worse in every other country! It had nothing to do with mining or a debt based housing bubble, nothing at all. Howard was the biggest spender ever, he was a terrible fiscal manager.
The funniest thing being, there are people dumb enough to actually have this opinion.

What of all the Labor supporters who claimed that they would be fiscally responsible?, this time....

Come on Henry, I love your work but Labor has only now destroyed their fiscal credibility: you must be very young or your memory is slipping if you cannot remember the track record of the three previous federal Labor governments!

Here we are spending something like fifty billion dollars on a technology that will enable us to download movies in a hurry, albeit that technology will probably be archaic by the time installation is complete. I know most of our infrastructure is state owned, but that infrastructure was starting to fall to pieces the first week Captain Arthur Phillip was in town. If we're so hell-bent on spending fifty billion bucks, let's spend it on something we're already complaining about. And don't you just love it when our treasurer tells us how good the economy is, then bumps up the debt ceiling. Let's not tell people just how far down the gurgler the country is. !!!

text: Followed the install procedures on a nearly virgin WP site. I see The Events Calendar settings link but NO CALENDAR. Even switched back to the default Twenty Ten theme in case there was a conflict there. I'm probably missing something basic but docs say nothing further is needed after the 3-step installation. Plug-in sounds good and obviously others don't have this problem, so what am I doing wrong?
