Exercise then diet, diet then exercise or both?
So I weigh 174.8 lbs as of today (2/1/13) and I carry the weight all in my stomach and breasts. I had a c-section with my son so I have the belly pooch/ flabby gut. I am wondering if I shoud lose the weight 1st and then exercise or whether that will just make my stomach even more flabbier? How do I balance it out so that as I am losing weight I am also toning my stomach? .Also, I work 2 jobs one during the day and one at night so really my only days for exercising when I am not working my night job is on the weekends. Any advice on exercising/exercises?

Certain things about pregnancy can put a damper on your enthusiasm.
We all know how camping out in the bathroom isn't much fun. Neither is collapsing in exhaustion on the couch. If you're finding that you're swimming in the sea of queasy more than the ocean of joy, it's hard to imagine there are perks to being pregnant.
Everyone has their own list of perks that go along with having a baby bump. These are some of our favorites "bonuses" we've gathered up from our own experiences. See if any are on your list!
Pregnancy perks
Enlisting your partner to pick up the slack: You have a nine months-long permit to pamper yourself. Take up the offer to watch rest of the kids or finish dinner while you go soak for an hour in the tub to relieve those pregnancy aches and pain, of course.
Giving yourself permission to have extra treats: As long as these "treats" are in moderation (meaning don't eat a whole bag of cookies), it's one of the advantages of being pregnant. While it's not a great idea to overeat or binge, you can allow a special bonus once in a while.
The ponytail is your new best friend: Who says you can't wear a pony tail all the time? Certainly not us. Not only does it present your "youthful side," but saves time when being a toilet buddy during "morning" sickness.
Sneaking a snooze: What can be more delicious than a nap? You can get away with taking a lot more of them throughout the day when you're pregnant. If you're not showing yet, you may not want to use this perk at work until after you've announced your pregnancy.
Wearing yoga or lounge pants! The invention of this clothing is a gift from the universe. Top the pants off with a tank top and you have comfort perfection. Perk: You don't have to suck in your gut -- you have a beautiful bump to show off! If your wardrobe needs an expansion, take advantage of the next pregnancy perk.
Treating yourself to new clothes: It doesn't matter if you've got an entire closet full of fabulous clothes, they aren't going to do you much good the next few months. Go ahead! Indulge yourself in a guilt-free trip to the mall.
Pulling the "I can't; I'm pregnant" card: Go ahead and use it when your husband announces that he needs help with that home improvement project that you wanted done. You can also use this perk for cutting in line, or avoiding that drama-filled family gathering. Pregnancy always gives you the perfect out.
Getting rid of kitty litter duty: There really is a medical reason to avoid that pile of yuck. Plus, who wants to deal with the icky mess? This is a big perk!
Parking closer to the store: Some shopping centers and stores even have special areas set aside for you if you're pregnant or a new mom. They'll be spots close to the store marked with a sign that says, "Pregnant Mothers Parking." How cool is that?
Getting away with not dying your hair: It's that I can't; I'm pregnant" card again. You might not want to color your hair during pregnancy because the chemicals could seep into your blood stream and that's not something you want to have happen. There are natural and safe alternatives for hair care during your pregnancy.
Friends and strangers lend a hand: For the next few months, you'll pleasantly receive a number of random acts of kindness from friends and even complete strangers. Who wouldn't hold the door open for a pregnant woman or allow her the last seat on the bus or train?
What are your favorite pregnancy perks? Point them out in the comments!

The part about coloring your
The part about coloring your hair isn't true. I'm going to cosmetology school and am 2 months pregnant. A big debate we recently had was that you can color your hair during pregnancy as long as you use the right kind of product. There are no dangers to the baby and the chemicals don't seep into your bloodstream. A "demi-permanent" coloring is something that can be used.. not a permanent color.
Hi Ashley! Welcome to
Hi Ashley!
Welcome to Pregnancy.org and congratulations on your pregnancy! We're really happy to have you and to have your feedback. I did bring it to the attention of our author and we changed "You can't color your hair during pregnancy because..." to "You might not want to color your hair during pregnancy because..."
You are correct that there are some alternatives that are considered safer during pregnancy as the article we link to -- "Dying For A Change: Hair Color and Your Pregnancy" also points out.
That said, many physicians *do* continue to urge caution for any chemical dye (vs. some natural alternatives), particularly during the first trimester as the baby goes through important neurological development. There is medical evidence of chemical dyes seeping into the bloodstream as it can be found present in urine samples.
You may want to read Dr. Michelle Brown, OB/GYN's article (one of our cited resources): Color Me Safely: Hair Dyes In Pregnancy... particularly the section on the different types of risk involved for the various types of dyes. I was personally surprised about the toxicity of temporary dyes, (including semi-permanent ones), being considered greater than permanent dyes today.
I know that many women do dye their hair during pregnancy and that most have no issues nor do their little ones. I have good friends that are stylists as well -- including one that owns her own salon. Still, while the risk may be considered smaller than some others, when it is within our (general) control to reduce or eliminate a risk for our babies, we want to share that with you.
Best wishes!

The Psion software development kit (SDK) includes a complete version of
the Psion roms. Not an emulator, but it means a replica of the Psion
running as an application under Windows 98 (I don't know if it runs
under Windows XP).
The smallest version would probably be the OPL SDK, at around 25
megabytes. It is as if you have a Psion working on your PC.
You should note this is NOT a suitable solution for transferring
documents to other PDAs, as that requires syncing from an actual Psion.
For retaining access to documents, you should convert each document into
a more standard format, while syncing with PsiWin. Access to the PsiWin
document conversion facility is NOT available from the SDK.
Not sure where the SDK is hiding on the web this year, but various
people will have copies. It is free.

Potential Outcomes of a US Debt Default
July 22, 2011
In a recent column in the USA Today, Thomas J. Donohue of the U.S. Chamber of Commerce and Robert S. Nichols of the Financial Services Forum outlined four ways that a debt default would hurt America. While the authors concede that "the precise implications of a default are difficult to know in advance," they predict that a default would halt government operations, increase interest rates, weaken the dollar, and slow economic growth.
Citing analysis by the Bipartisan Policy Center, Donohue and Nichols report that failing to increase the debt ceiling "would require the United States to immediately cease honoring 44% of its obligations during the month of August." They argue that the government would be forced to choose which programs to fund and would have little money left over for essential government operations.
Donohue and Nichols also address the impact a default would have on the debt and deficit. From the article:
It's been estimated that a one-notch downgrade in the nation's credit rating (the smallest reduction) would raise yields demanded by investors by a full percentage point. Higher borrowing costs mean wider deficits and higher debt levels. Even a one-half percentage point increase in rates would increase our annual deficit by $10 billion in the short run, and by $75 billion per year as outstanding debts roll over.
In addition to negative effects on government operations and the national debt, Donohue and Nichols believe a default would also weaken the dollar and dampen economic growth. They note that a default could potentially downgrade the United States credit rating, which "would accelerate calls for a new non-dollar global reserve currency — to the detriment of every American business, saver, investor and consumer." The authors contend that this would lead to slower economic growth causing thousands of Americans to lose their jobs.
Teachers could use this article to help students understand the potential risks involved in defaulting on the national debt. Students should be encouraged to investigate these claims and determine the extent to which these concerns are evident in the debate on Capitol Hill. Do the debates about tax increases and spending cuts include a discussion about what might happen if an agreement is not reached? If so, how are those discussions approached by lawmakers and received by their constituents? If not, why are those discussions avoided?
As with every article that students discuss, the issue of perspective and bias should also be addressed. Thomas J. Donohue is the President and CEO of the US Chamber of Commerce, an organization that identifies itself as "the voice of business" whose "core purpose is to fight for free enterprise before Congress, the White House, regulatory agencies, the courts, the court of public opinion, and governments around the world." Robert S. Nichols is the President and CEO of the Financial Services Form, a "non-partisan financial and economic policy organization" whose purpose "is to pursue policies that encourage savings and investment, promote an open and competitive global marketplace, and ensure the opportunity of people everywhere to participate fully and productively in the 21st-century global economy." How do the missions and purposes of these organizations influence their views about the national debt and the debt ceiling? Does their experience and expertise in business make their opinions more valuable in fiscal discussions, or does it indicate a potential bias about these issues? Teachers should encourage students to consider these questions as they develop their own opinions about these important fiscal issues.

By U.S. ArmySeptember 30, 2011
FORT STEWART, Ga. - A healthy relationship has trust, respect and communication. But for some relationships they can turn bad. For people that are in an unhealthy relationship sometimes do not even realize it and will mistaken the abuse for caring or concern. According to kidshealth.org, one in 11 students have reported being physically hurt by a date.
There are three different types of abuse. physical, mental, and sexual. Physical abuse is abuse involving contact intended to cause intimidation, injury, or physical suffering. Mental abuse is characterized by a person exposing another behavior that may result in physiological trauma. As for sexual abuse, it can happen to both sexes. Guy or girl. You should never be pressured to be in any type of sexual experience that you do not want. If you feel that you are having any of these problems within your relationship, make sure that you get out of it as quickly as you can.
If you are the one that is in an abusive relationship the first thing you need to do is get out.
Even if you feel that you love that person, you have to realize that you are worth much more than how you are being treated. Tell someone that you trust and avoid isolating yourself from friends and Family. You need there support and they are just the right people to help you get through this tough time.
Signs That Your Friend Is Being Abused
• Not hanging out with friends and Family
• Not wanting to go to school or social events
• Unexplained bruises or broken bones
A friend that is being abused needs your support and encouragement. Get help from an adult such as a parent, Family Member or even a teacher. Your friend needs you to listen without judging them. It takes a lot for them to admit that they are being abused so try to be as supportive as possible.
No matter how hard your situation may be, you can get through it. You are not the only person that has gone through it and you will not be the last. Take this as a life experience and use it to help other teens that may need your help.

Best Zero Percent Balance Transfers (Updated May 2011)
As the economy improves, I expect to see a lot more activity in the balance transfer space. For the moment, there hasn't been much change from April to May. Citi ended the Citi Dividend Platinum Select MasterCard's promotion they launched last month (0% Intro APR on Balance Transfers for 18 months and 0% Intro APR on Purchases for 12 months) but extended the limited time offer that included $100 cash back after $500 in purchases within the first 3 months of account opening. This matches compares very favorably to the Chase Freedom offer, which offers the same bonus and similar introductory periods.
Here are this month's best 0% balance transfer offers:

For the second year, new faculty at The University of Texas-Pan American were welcomed to campus Aug. 19 as part of the New Faculty Support Program, which helps incoming faculty members adjust to their new environment.
Fifty-five full-time, tenure and tenure-track faculty who are new this fall to UTPA attended the program's opening reception and a two-day academic orientation. The year-long initiative was designed to help incoming faculty adjust to their new academic and community surroundings at UTPA.
Throughout the year, the program offers a series of luncheon presentations and workshops, and includes one-on-one peer mentoring support from experienced faculty in the new faculty member's discipline, as well as the development of a professional growth plan and information sessions on topics ranging from grant development to effective presentation and publication of research results.
"The faculty are our greatest asset and we want a smooth transition for them," said UTPA Provost and Vice President for Academic Affairs Dr. Paul Sale. "We want to build up faculty and want to enhance their experience here. We want to make sure that the investment we put forth in getting them here pays great return for our students, because they are most important."
Dr. Ala Qubbaj, director of the New Faculty Support Program, said the program was developed to ease and support new faculty members in their transition to the University and the Rio Grande Valley.
"As part of the University's strategic direction, we want to empower our new faculty, through the support of this program, to meet the learning needs of students," Qubbaj said.
During the first day of the academic orientation, faculty members got to hear from a variety of different departments on campus, community leader Keith Patridge, president of the McAllen Economic Development Co., as well as UTPA student Tony Matamoros, a senior majoring in political science and history.
New faculty members had the opportunity to watch a five-minute video profiling Matamoros, where he talked about his beginnings as a migrant farmworker and the hardships he faced while growing up and how that shaped his experiences as a student.
"I hope that by my being here today that you are better able to understand the lives of some UTPA students," Matamoros said. "As professors you have the power to empower, befriend, mentor and guide students."
"I think it's really helpful to get to know other faculty who are coming to the same place and who are sharing the same concerns and excitement," she said. "I think it's nice to get a heads up in what's happening across the University."
Dr. Chintal Desai, who will be working in the Department of Economics and Finance, said he came to UTPA because of the research resources and opportunities available and felt the program was very beneficial to new faculty.
"This program gives us a good head start and facilitates a smooth transition into the University," Desai said. "I think the program will be very useful because it will give us a good idea of what expectations are. It's also very nice to have this one place where you get the opportunity to meet a variety of people from different offices."

American Airlines Continues Its High-Flying Domestic Expansion of Aircell's Gogo Inflight Internet Service
FORT WORTH, Texas, Aug. 20 /PRNewswire-FirstCall/ -- American Airlines reached a major milestone this week with its Gogo Inflight Internet service. The Wi-Fi service is now available on 100 MD-80 aircraft, which is two-thirds of the 150 Gogo installations scheduled to be completed by the end of 2009.
One year ago today, American was the first U.S. airline to launch the Gogo service. Since then, thousands of customers traveling on American's 15 Boeing 767-200 aircraft and select MD-80 aircraft have enjoyed the onboard Wi-Fi service while flying across the United States.
"We are excited to reach this one-year milestone and to continue our expansion of the Gogo high-speed service to customers on our MD-80s," said Dan Garton, American's Executive Vice President - Marketing. "We continue to receive positive feedback from customers who use the service to stay connected while in the air. Our goal is to offer our customers the chance to continue their work or personal business while 35,000 feet above the ground."
Gogo turns an American Airlines flight into a Wi-Fi hotspot, enabling passengers to surf the Web, check e-mail, send instant messages, access a corporate VPN, and more. Once the aircraft has reached 10,000 feet, users can simply turn on their Wi-Fi enabled devices - such as laptops, smartphones and handheld PDAs - then open their browsers and be directed to the Gogo portal page where they sign up and begin surfing. Gogo is powered by the Aircell air-to-ground system, which uses three small antennas installed outside the aircraft and connects to Aircell's exclusive nationwide mobile broadband network.
Aircell's prices for the Gogo service range from $5.95 to $12.95 based on length of flight and whether the device is a handheld PDA or a laptop computer. Aircell's pricing plans are:
- Mobile Flight Pass: $7.95 - mobile device pricing for customers using a handheld device only
- Short-Haul Flight Pass: $5.95 - for flights lasting approximately 1.5 hours or less
- Mid-Range Flight Pass: $9.95 - for flights generally under 3 hours
- Long-Range Flight Pass: $12.95 - for flights generally over 3 hours
Each paid Gogo session includes full Internet, e-mail and VPN access. Cell phone and Voice over Internet Protocol (VoIP) service use are not available. American is a founding member of the oneworld® Alliance.

As I approach 75 years of age, I possess a modest collection of guns which I have enjoyed owning for many years.
None of these guns, at least while I have owned them, has ever killed anyone.
Consider this: There are some 3,500,000 firearms in the U.S.
So on that terrible day in Connecticut, there were some 3,499,999 guns that did not kill anyone. Firearms are used more than 2,000,000 times a year for personal protection, and the presence of a firearm, without a shot being fired, prevents crime in many instances.
So are the owners of these guns to be penalized?
To folks who want to do away with the U.S. Constitution and my right to own a gun, I would ask you to name another consumer product where the manufacturer must get the permission of the federal government before making the product. Other regulations: The product must have identification numbers so it can be traced; the product must be licensed by the federal government; every single item produced must be accounted for at every step of manufacturing, storage, shipping, distribution and sale; every retailer selling the product must have a license to sell the product; every store selling the product must keep a written record of every sale of the product or face a penalty; every person purchasing this product must be of a certain age and then also be approved by the Federal Bureau of Investigation via a background check; theft of this product from the retailer constitutes a federal felony and the sale of this product is subject to negligence laws.
This is an unregulated industry?
Much blood and treasure has been expended protecting our Constitution and country.
Our rights will not be taken from us easily.

"I'd like to personally thank Ed for his leadership and contributions to our San Juan operation over the past two years," said Peter M. Bowler, American Eagle President and CEO. "Ed's interest in the people of Executive, Puerto Rico and the entire Caribbean region -- combined with his broad experience in the airline business -- enabled him to lead a substantial improvement in Executive's operational performance. Ed is a seasoned and professional airline executive with an understanding of every aspect of this complicated and challenging business. We are fortunate to have enjoyed the benefit of this leadership in San Juan and to call up on it again to lead one of our large operations in Chicago."
Fabregas, a 25-year industry veteran, joined American Airlines in 1983 and quickly progressed through a number of management positions within the operation, including Passenger Service, Ramp Service and Facilities Maintenance. He moved to Executive Airlines in 1998 as Director - Finance and Administration, and has since contributed in a variety of roles, including Director - Sales, Marketing and Planning.
In 2005, Fabregas was selected by the Senate of the Commonwealth of Puerto Rico as one of the most important business leaders in Puerto Rico.
"Pedro Fabregas is an excellent executive. He is passionate about the success of Executive Airlines and the growth of travel and tourism in Puerto Rico and the Caribbean. Pedro has tremendous energy and integrity and strives every day to provide safe, quality service to our customers, to motivate our people and to improve the profitability of our company. Pedro will not only be a great leader for Executive Airlines, he will be a great advocate for Puerto Rico and the region," said Bowler.
A native of San Juan, Fabregas holds a Bachelors degree in Administration from the University of the Sacred Heart and a Masters degree in Business Administration from the University of Miami School of Business.

Maba it would seem that the rawer, the closer to paleo and therefore the better. If you can rule out salmonella, go for it.
Salmonella comes from infected chickens and is in the egg as it is made. You are right, there are few cases of it showing up. But all restaurant Caesar dressing is made with pasteurized eggs; it comes in boxes. Regular eggs are not pasteurized.
Anyway, I have much bigger things to worry about. Remember, Cordain also advocates the use of canola oil, even brushing it onto meat before grilling. Yeah, no oxidation there.....

he seems just fine to me.
i think the oxidation thing is nothing to worry about.
Thank you all for your insight, links, suggestions. I usually have my eggs scrambled or as omelettes. I must try the other "less-oxidizing" ways too.
OTB, Rest assured that I'm not going to switch to eating raw eggs by the dozen just because I happened to read this article. I've come across the oxidized cholesterol bit on other sites too before and I merely wanted to know more about it, that's all. May be my title was a bit alarmist.
Sally Fallon, on the WAPF site, recommends that pregnant women eat raw egg yolks in addition to cooked whole eggs.
It's food. It's not supposed to be religion.
Remember that link recently about a new psychological diagnosis about people fixating on food?
Well, plenty of examples right here.
Do your own research, the internet makes that so easy. Don't pay attention to fear factors, look for evidence of results. That's one reason I never got wound up about fats, way before discovering Primal. The evidence wasn't there. Don't forget, Fallon also is a booster of raw milk; we shouldn't even be drinking infant bovine food. Every alleged expert has blinders in some areas.
If someone can reasonably prove that "oxidized cholesterol" is harmful at the levels being consumed by a few eggs a day, I'll be listening.
Until then........
once we arrive at a certain point...sometimes I wonder if the stress from worrying about these minor food details is doing more damage in itself than the food is if we just didn't worry so much...

Kettle Campaign goal is $190,000
The Salvation Army wants to raise $190,000 in this year's Christmas Kettle campaign.
"We raised $198,000 last year, our best year ever, and we're hoping it's not just a fluke," said Major Larry Bridger, the Sally Ann's local director and pastor.
The campaign runs until Dec. 22 and new this year is the ability to make a $5 donation by texting HOPE2010 to 45678.
Donations can also be made online at www.fillthekettle.com of by calling 1-800-SAL ARMY (725-2769).
Volunteers are still needed to staff the nine full-time and three part-time kettle locations. Sponsors for the Adopt-A-Family program are also needed.
Bridger said recent news of frauds against the Salvation Army — one in Toronto for $2 million, the other in Ottawa for $250,000 — have no bearing locally.
"Donations we receive all stay in Red Deer. Everything is distributed locally."
The frauds shouldn't stop Central Albertans from supporting the local effort, said Mayor Morris Flewwelling in his kickoff comments.
"We sympathize with them and we want to make sure we are strong and healthy in our Salvation Army here."
Other events the Salvation Army plans this Christmas season include the annual Santa Shuffle, a nationwide five-km fun run and one-km walk on Dec. 1. In Red Deer, the Santa Shuffle takes place at Rotary Park.
As well, the Salvation Army will be visiting seniors in nursing homes and residences during December to sing carols and distribute gifts.
And the service will again host a Christmas Day dinner at noon in the Salvation Army Church at 4837 54th St.
For more information on all the church's programs and to register for Christmas assistance, call 403-346-2251.

It was a happy homecoming Friday night for the Wyalusing Rams as they scored their first win of the season with a 27-15 victory over the North Penn Panthers. The Rams took advantage of six Panther turnovers and 70 yards in penalties.
The game started in North Penn's favor, as it took the opening kickoff and quickly marched 65 yards in 6 plays. The drive was keyed by a 26 yard pass from Taylor Hillson to Sam Rotella, and was capped off by an 8 yard scamper into the end zone by Hillson. Rotella added the extra point, and the Panthers were in control 7-0 with only 2:06 gone in the first. When their defense forced a quick 3 and out, it looked like they were well on their way to an easy night. But 2 plays later, they would fumble the ball for their first of 6 crucial turnovers on the night.
Down 15-8, an 0-6 Ram team that could have folded decided toanswer right back. Tim Ace would carry 4 times on the drive for 41 yards, and a 15 yard facemask penalty had Wyalusing knocking on the door, On third and 2 from the North Penn 3, Otis would pick up a crucial first down to the 1. From there, Andrew Picket took it himself for the score.
Bucktail 48, CV?8
When Bucktail hosted Cowanesque Valley last night, early in the first quarter a Bucktail lateral fell into the end-zone where an Indian defender jumped on it for a touchdown, leading to an 8-6 lead for the visitors.
It was the only thing that went wrong for Bucktail.
Defensively the Bucks shut-down Cowanesque Valley and as the offense poured it on, particularly in the second quarter, they cruised to 4-2 on the season.
On just the second offensive play of the game Trent Risley knocked the ball loose while teammate Dalton Louey jumped on it in the end-zone for a 6-0 lead. Trent Risley would also score later on an interception when Colton Risley tipped a Brandon Whistell pass attempt.
Selinsgrove 14, Milton 12
At Milton, Selinsgrove won a battle of the top two teams in District 4 Class AAA as Juvan Batts scored two touchdowns.
Two Kaelen Sullivan extra-points proved to be the difference as Milton failed to convert after either Jarred Fogelman's run or Grant Wargo's reception.
Lewisburg 51,
Warrior Run 0
At Turbotville, Brandon Smith scored three times in the first quarter and Lewisburg beat winless Warrior Run.

NATCHEZ, Miss. — A Ridgeland-based church will soon be taking over management of the Natchez City Auditorium.
The Natchez Board of Aldermen voted Tuesday to authorize Mayor Butch Brown and City Attorney Hyde Carby to negotiate with Christ Life Church at the River, a division of Christ Life Church of the Highlands, to take over the lease of the city auditorium.
The Natchez Democrat reports the lease is currently held by the New Orleans Hotel Consultants, which manages the Natchez Convention Center and the community center.
President Warren Reuther has expressed interest in relinquishing management of the auditorium.
The Rev. David Hale of Christ Life Church said the church plans to host Sunday night services at the auditorium.

"The Heidi Chronicles" opens April 23 at Penn State York
Penn State York Theatre Department will present Wendy Wasserstein's Pulitzer Prize-winning comedy "The Heidi Chronicles" on April 23 and 24 in the campus' Pullo Family Performing Arts Center. The 7 p.m. performance is $10 for the general public and free to Penn State York students, faculty, and staff. Tickets are available at the door.
Students involved in the performance include those are taking theatre 282 and theatre 150 as well as some drama club members. In addition to performing, students are also designing sets. The campus added a theatre minor last fall and students taking those classes now have the opportunity to get hands-on experience and be a part of productions. The drama club was formed after the Pullo Family Performing Arts Center opened in August 2005 and has been performing a variety of one-act plays and shorter pieces. This production will be a marker in their development. The performance is under the direction of Stuart Stelly, adviser for the drama club and instructor in English at Penn State York.
"This is the most ambitious and complex play we've done so far," said Stelly.
"I chose "The Heidi Chronicles" because it is a play that deals with relevant issues. It's about a young person trying to create a life for herself during a difficult time period. It's a situation that so many people face these days," he said. "At one point in time people just did what their parents did but now people go out and create their own identities. That's what Heidi did in the play. It's also a really funny play," Stelly said.
"The Heidi Chronicles" is the story of Heidi Holland and follows her from high school in the 1960s to her career as a successful art historian more than 20 years later. The play's main themes deal with the changing role of women during this time period, describing both Holland's ardent feminism during the 1970s and her eventual sense of betrayal during the 1980s. Though most of the characters are women, there are two important male characters; Peter Patrone, a homosexual pediatrician who is arguably Holland's best friend, and Scoop Rosenbaum, a magazine editor who marries and has many affairs, with whom Holland has a tense friendship.
"The Heidi Chronicles" was first produced Off-Broadway at Playwrights Horizons, December 11, 1988, running for three sold-out months, before moving to the Plymouth Theater on Broadway on March 9, 1989. The play averaged 90 percent full houses during its run and, in 1989, garnered numerous awards, including the Pulitzer Prize for drama as well as the Antoinette Perry (Tony) and New York Drama Critics' Circle awards for best play. Other honors include the Outer Critics Circle Award, the Dramatists Guild's Hull-Warriner Award, and the Susan Smith Blackburn Award for women playwrights.

There are lots of routes to making this a success. this could be really competitive; be sure you have the skills and determination to do the exploit.kolawoledeolahttp://firstname.lastname@example.com:blogger.com,1999:blog-9188228086972108081.post-18599526306194515652011-01-07T04:22:00.000-08:002011-01-07T08:40:39.679-08:00GET MORE FROM YOUR SPORT VIEWING

 So how did it all start? Well, 'for fun' I would think is the most accurate answer! I placed bets for fun on sporting events that I intended watching on TV or attending in person. These bets, along with the small amount of betting research that I did back then, tended to increase my knowledge of the particular sport on which I was betting and certainly made the event more exciting to watch. DFRB9JMCR52X

Now of course I stake my bets far more heavily, research more thoroughly and trade off positions as necessary. Yet sometimes I do miss those 'carefree' days when I had "twenty bucks on the game". It adds to your day - especially if you win!

So what are two basic things that the sports bettor needs:

Firstly he needs a place to bet online. Two sportsbooks that I particularly like, both of which are in world's "top ten" online sports betting and gambling groups, are: - VIP Sports Group and Gameday Sportsbook - Both sportsbooks also offer free comprehensive sports news, stats and matchups data.

Secondly - the sports bettor needs to have a feel for 'value' when betting. If the three rules of purchasing property or real estate are "location, location, location." then the three basic rules of sports betting success are: "value, value, value."

Think about it - would you go to a store and buy a broom for $20.00 when you can buy it for $10.00 at an equally close location?

Or if you were purchasing stocks or shares - would you simply buy the stock, or first consider the stock's price - factoring in price/ratio, moving averages, historical data and economic outlook?

It boils down to - "not paying more for a product than that product is worth."

When I look at a bet - I have a rough idea in my head of what the odds should be. If the price quoted by the sportsbook is sufficiently above that estimation in percentage terms - then I will go ahead and bet on the event.

I will not win every bet, especially on underdog plays - but in the long run I know that if I go with value - then I will come out on top.

The best advice that I can offer to those starting out in sports betting is to "stick with what you know". If you have a team that you follow and already know well - then you are, in a sense, already a "mini expert".

Have fun!

This Dante could hit a Godzilla-sized Mundus hard enough to make his back bend backwards. I'd say he's just as strong if not stronger than Kratos. Kratos is rather overrated, but has potential as a deep character, which the marketing for Ascension seems to try to imply (that they'll fill out more of Kratos' potential as a real character instead of a rage head, I mean).

My passion for wildlife was stimulated in my teenage years, mainly thanks to my Mum (a biology teacher) who made me look at the world differently and being inspired by writers such as Paul Colinvaux. This early interest developed into biological research in my 20s, when I did practical conservation work in places such as the Comores and Mongolia.
Today, any free time I have I spend pottering around the flatlands of East Anglia or escaping to our hut on the Northumberland coast looking for wildlife and castles with my wife and children.
I studied Biological Sciences at Oxford and Conservation at UCL, and worked at Wildlife and Countryside Link before spending five years as Conservation Director at Plantlife.
I joined the RSPB as Head of Government Affairs in 2004, became Head of Sustainable Development in 2006, before becoming Conservation Director in 2011.
I've handed the reins of my blog over to Mark Avery for most of June. Mark's sharing the successes and challenges of saving nature around the world in the run up to the Rio+20 Earth Summit.
This time last year, I drove west through the USA, and near the 100th meridian, soon after I crossed the Missouri river, I started to see a new species of bird beside the road. They were black, occurred in small flocks and had white flashes on their wings. They were lark buntings and I saw them often through several days travel through the grasslands of the prairie.
Only on returning to the UK did I realise that lark buntings had declined dramatically over whatever time period you choose to look at. Historically, the loss of the prairies removed most of their original habitat but over the last 40 years, the lark bunting declined at 6% per annum according to the American Breeding Bird Survey.
If an American birder came to the UK, he or she would see lots of skylarks in most parts of our countryside, and maybe would marvel at their beautiful song and think that all was well with the world. However, if he consulted our Breeding Bird Survey he would find that skylarks have also declined over the last few decades and are one of a list of widespread but formerly much commoner farmland species such as corn buntings, tree sparrows, lapwings and grey partridges which are of conservation concern in the UK, and in many other European countries too.
In the UK, it's not just many birds which have declined, if we had the same quality of information we would probably be even more shocked at the scale of loss of corn flowers, corn cockles and corn spurreys – plants whose names show that they were once part of the arable farming scene but are now hugely diminished in numbers.
And it's not just the farmed landscape affected. Woodland butterflies such as wood whites are at much reduced levels and walking through London's Parks you are far less likely to see a house sparrow than when your parents or grandparents passed that way years ago.
I feel we should be angered by these widespread losses of huge numbers of plants and animals around us. But we will only be upset if we realise that they have occurred. The term 'shifting baselines' was coined by the American marine biologist Dan Pauly who pointed out that fisheries managers tend to take a short term view of their stocks and to neglect the much larger declines that have occurred over longer periods of time. It's only when we have good data that we realise the scale of loss that we have suffered.
Maybe if I had had an American in the car with me he would have been saying 'Wow! There aren't many lark buntings here anymore – I remember when this fence line was covered with them.' And if he came to the UK I could point out fields where skylarks still sing but where they were once so much commoner.
Reductions in numbers of common species and extinctions of rarer ones are two manifestations of biodiversity loss, and two manifestations of unsustainable living. If we can find more sustainable ways of growing our food, harvesting fish and forests, producing our energy then we can at a stroke reduce our impacts on the natural world around us. That's an aim for the Rio+20 conference.
Not only are our wildlife surveys fun, they're also hugely important at helping us monitor how wildlife is faring. Take part in Make Your Nature Count this week - spend just one hour counting the birds and the other wildlife that visit your garden or green space and send us your results.
Dr Mark Avery is a former Conservation Director of the RSPB and now is a writer on environmental matters. We've asked Mark to write these 20 essays on the run up to the Rio+20 conference. His views are not necessarily those of the RSPB. Mark writes a daily blog about UK nature conservation issues.
Sooty - well I tend to agree. And that is what the meeting in Rio is all about, in theory. Let's see what world leaders come up with. i hope you enjoy the journey to Rio through the next few weeks and the issues that come up on this blog.
You are quite right Mark about Hope Farm but we both know we need to get strict rules on Agri-Schemes to achieve that.
More concern to me although doubt it will not affect us older generation is the rate we are using the Earths resources and connected with that is climate change and I probably think that as the emerging nations get richer and want the same standard of living that we have things could easily get worse.As each country only really cares about what is best for itself they are all pulling different ways to in the end detriment of all.
Sooty - Well it's nice to be back here chatting to you! Feeding the world comes up in a few days' time so it'll be interesting to hear your views of that essay. I need to remind you though that it isn't always a choice between production and wildlife: Hope Farm shows you can produce lots of food and see wildlife increase dramatically. You are right, I think, that we need to consume less - spread that message as widely as possible please.
Well it would certainly be controversial but the only way I could see of things improving is that we take a step back to less productive systems and use less of the Earths resources and the only way I could ever see that happening is a smaller population which means family rationing like in China.
Think it is either that or accept that we are going to lose species of animals,birds,flowers insects and lots of other things.Think we are on a very slippery slope using the Earths resources at a alarming rate and causing climate change with the majority of people wanting higher incomes than they warrant and using that income to cause further problems by buying unnecessary luxuries.

I've been detoxing from pain killers for fibro, as well as some other meds for over a week and half now. Currently 4 days med-free.
I know it's normal not to have any appetite. I'm also aware of the benefits of intermittent fasting. But I don't exactly consider this an IF, since the only thing that appeals to me the last week is grapefruit and eggs done in butter, maybe a piece of 85% dark chocolate... I'm drinking as much fluid as I can to help the process along.
I've been eating primal for about 5 weeks before starting the detox process (with which I credit the relative ease of my detox)... but I am worried about having my weightloss stalled once my appetite returns (could be my fears are from when I went from anorexic to a binge eater and gained too much weight).
Any insight?

Import prices stayed steady while export prices dropped for August, according to a Labor Department report (link opens as PDF) released today.
After increasing a revised 0.1% in July for the first gain in four months, import prices remained unchanged for August. Analysts had expected a 0.5% gain on top of July's. While fuel import prices added on 0.5%, nonfuel prices fell 0.2% for the sixth straight month of declines. According to the report, falling prices for industrial supplies and materials proved to be the biggest pull on import prices.
Export prices have been on the decline since February, and August was no different. Analysts had been hoping for a slight 0.1% gain, but actual numbers show a 0.5% decline. Although agricultural and nonagricultural exports both felt the squeeze, agriculture's 4.3% drop outweighs a slight 0.1% decline for other exports.
On a regional basis, import prices from the European Union and Japan both fell 0.1%, while China import prices stayed steady for the third straight month.

A 1450-G WHITE MALE infant was delivered by cesarean section after 30 weeks' gestation. Fetal ultrasound showed polyhydramnios and possible complex congenital heart disease.
At delivery, the infant required intubation and significant peak inflating pressures with 100% oxygen to achieve good color. Severe respiratory distress, hepatomegaly, and decreased perfusion developed. An echocardiogram revealed a dilated right ventricle, patent ductus arteriosus, and decreased cardiac function.
Surfactant instillation, high-frequency ventilation, and tube thoracostomy were administered. Cardiac function was marginal despite inotropes. Subsequent improvement in the cardiorespiratory status allowed extubation on the 13th day of life. Intermittent hypertension of unclear origin was first noted on the 10th day of life, which was minimally responsive to diuretics and angiotensin-converting enzyme inhibitors.
On the 25th day of life, a chest radiograph revealed cardiomegaly, pulmonary edema, and, for the first time, probable calcification of the abdominal aorta (Figure 1). An echocardiogram showed a thick, poorly functioning

text: Mirpur: Who would have thought it would come to this? Pakistan, despite a crushing six-wicket defeat, are in the Asia Cup final, while India, with two wins, need Sri Lanka â out of the tournament â to beat Bangladesh to ensure they join their archrivals at the summit. For a tournament widely downplayed for having little value in today's jam-packed calendar, there is suddenly plenty of interest in the sixth and final league match of the Asia Cup in Mirpur on Tuesday.Pakistan, with nine points, are in the final despite yesterday's embarrassing loss to India. India, on eight points, will keenly follow this match with a hope of seeing Sri Lanka win to knock the hosts out of the tournament. Bangladesh, with four points, will hope to keep India out of what would be a mouth-watering final. Should they win, they will face Pakistan owing to the fact that they lead the head-to-head against India.Coming into the tournament, few would have expected the hosts to have a chance of making the final at this stage. But such is the nature of the 50-over game that Bangladesh, who chased down India's target of 289 last week, actually have a shot at joining Pakistan in the final. Having run Pakistan close last Sunday and then pulling the carpet from under the Indians' feet, Bangladesh have plenty of reason to believe they can down Sri Lanka too. Bangladesh's last ODI win over Sri Lanka came in January 2009, incidentally at this same venue, the Shere Bangla National Stadium. On that occasion, victory was fashioned by the ball as Sri Lanka were skittled for just 147 in 30.3 overs, before Shakib al Hasan's unbeaten 92 off 69 balls sealed victory by five wickets. More than three years on, Shakib remains Bangladesh's most important player. His whirlwind 49 earned him the Man of the Match in the win over India, but without key knocks from Tamim Iqbal, Jahurul Islam and the captain, Mushfiqur Rahim, the win would not have been possible. Bangladesh's victory over India featured the first instance where five of their batsmen had reached 40 in an ODI, and indeed the calculated manner in which their batsmen approached a stiff chase was the reason for a famous upset. Against Sri Lanka, who possess a far stronger bowling attack than India, the challenge for the home team is to put up a good score if they bat first, or hold their nerve when chasing. Sri Lanka have hammered Bangladesh in their last three face-offs â by seven wickets, nine wickets and 126 runs â and their best chance of winning is if the batting clicks collectively. Sri Lanka have no chance of making the final, but a victory will ensure India progress. They have been hit hard by injuries to their allrounders Angelo Mathews and Thissara Perera, and Chamara Kapugedera's poor run has left them with no alternative batsmen in the middle order. Should the Sri Lankans seek to come out hard in their last match, it is foreseeable that they play their strongest bowling attack. That means Lasith Malinga, Nuwan Kulasekara and Suranga Lakmal will make up the pace department, and that Seekkuge Prasanna will hold his place as the spinner despite failing to make an impact in Bangladesh. This match may be of little consequence for Sri Lanka, but a win would give them some pep going into a tough home series against England.Probable lineupsBangladesh: 1 Nazimuddin, 2 Tamim Iqbal, 3 Jahurul Islam, 4 Nasir Hossain, 5 Shakib Al Hasan, 6 Mushfiqur Rahim (capt/wk), 7 Mahmudullah, 8 Abdur Razzak, 9 Mashrafe Mortaza, 10 Shafiul Islam, 11 Shahadat HossainSri Lanka: 1 Mahela Jayawardene (capt), 2 Tillakaratne Dilshan, 3 Kumar Sangakkara (wk), 4 Dinesh Chandimal, 5 Lahiru Thirimanne, 6 Upul Tharanga, 7 Farveez Maharoof, 8 Nuwan Kulasekara, 9 Seekkuge Prasanna, 10 Lasith Malinga, 11 Suranga Lakmal.

Carson Daly: I'm Voting for Sanjaya
"I'm just enjoying it now because of this whole idea that Sanjaya might win," Daly, 33, told PEOPLE Thursday at a party for the five-year anniversary of his show Last Call at Social Hollywood.
Daly is impressed by Sanjaya Malakar's style more than his singing skill. "I think there's a lot of people like me that may not watch it every single week – or have a deep passion for American Idol – but now we're hooked," Daly said, "because of this idea that this guy's got a new haircut every day."
Daly also revealed his strategy for seeing the 17-year-old win it all. Asked if he had voted for Sanjaya, he replied: "No, I haven't, but I plan on it – repeatedly."

Four thousand miles away in Germany, Jeremy's dad, John, a captain with the New York Air National Guard's 152nd Air Operations Group, was watching too, thanks to a laptop video connection.
"It was 10 or 11 o'clock at night, and I just sat there where I was and watched it," John said. "It was great."
John's wife, Cindy, had set up the video connection, using the same kind of webcam connection the family uses at home to keep John and his two sons, Jeremy and Ryan, a seventh-grader in Jordan-Elbridge schools, connected.
"I'm really glad we decided to do the webcam. It just gives them the stability to know that dad's still there, and he's committed to know what they're doing. It just makes them feel more normal," Cindy said.
The Meili (pronounced may-lee) family uses the Internet when John is away from home. His duties with the Air National Guard means he spends anywhere from several weeks to several months on the road either overseas or at an Air Force base stateside.
John has a netbook, one of the new generation of mini-computers with a built-in video camera. Cindy has a laptop and webcam in the family room of their home in Elbridge. When they want to talk — they try to talk daily — they use their AOL e-mail account to set up a video link.
"It helps me stay connected with what my family is doing, what's going on in school, what's going on in the kids lives," John said.
"When I'm home, I'm a big part of the kids' lives," he said. "I go to all their school activities. I help them out with their homework. We do a lot of things around the house together. We do a lot of things as a family."
The Meilis are a military family. John and Cindy married in 1992. They met at Plattsburgh Air Force Base, where John was stationed and Cindy was a civilian employee in the base accounting department. Like most military families, they have traveled a lot: from Northern New York to bases in Germany, Washington, D.C., South Carolina and Texas.
Two years ago, John landed a job as an instructor at Hancock Field in Syracuse, and the family bought a home on Barker Road. They picked the home after researching the area online.
"From moving so many different times and so many different places, we knew what we wanted when we finally settled and didn't have to move anymore," Cindy said.
Cindy, who has a paralegal degree, works as a lunch monitor for the school district and just got her certificate as a teaching assistant. The job with the school district keeps her on the same schedule as her children.
"With John's schedule, you never know when he's going to come home and say he's gotta go," she said. "Me being here for the boys is the most important thing."
Ryan is used to his dad's schedule, Cindy said.
"He's been at trooper through it," she said. "He was 3 when Sept. 11 happened. That was pretty much the start of all the deployment and the change in the new military life."
"Kids serve, too, that's the motto of the military," Cindy continued. "He's been a really good big brother to his brother. He tries to be strong for Jeremy, but he's got anxieties about dad being gone."
Initially, the family kept in touch by letter and e-mail. They would send John packages, and he would send them videos in which he read to the boys. The webcam helps bridge the distance between John's Air Force duties and his family.
"It's part of our life, we just deal with it," she said. "Everybody else has issues to deal. We just put one foot in front of the other and do the best we can."

Herrick, Steven
The New Teacher He must teach Science see how he squints and looks at his lunch like a failed experiment. Or Maths! the grey of his shorts the expanse of his ears the lovely floral tie and check shirt all add up.

Levithan, David
"Here's what I know about the realm of possibility - it is always expanding, it is never what you think it is. Everything around us was once deemed impossible. From the airplane overhead to the phones in our pockets to the choir girl putting her arm around the metalhead. As hard as it is for us to see sometimes, we all exist within the realm of possibility. Most of the limits are of our own world's devising. And yet, every day we each do so many things that were once impossible to us."
David Levithan offers a familiar but intriguing look at highschool in all its desperate glory. Twenty distinct voices give us their perceptions of their world, themselves and each other. An engaging and thoughtful novel that speaks to everyone currently living through highschool - and survivors of the ordeal.Top

"She feels strangely sad and lost. This is when they should begin feeling closer and closer, but instead it is as if each is on a different train, drawing apart, heading for a different destination. Sometimes she worries, does she only like him because she feels she will never know him?"
Stephanie's 17th year is a crazy one. She is in love for the first time, but it doesn't make her happy - joyful, sometimes, but not happy. Love consumes and frightens her. She is stalked by the fear of loss - of this fragile relationship, of old friendships, of new possibilities, of her freedom, and of herself. 17 is a perilous journey.Top

GOD GOT A DOG He never meant to. He liked dogs, He'd liked them ever since He was a kid, but He didn't think He had time for a dog now. He was always working and dogs needed so much attention. God didn't know if He could take being needed by one more thing...
What if God was one of us? Cynthia Rylant's skilled hand paints a portrait of God that is human and humane, a loving and powerful being who suffers from loneliness and finds that He cannot control everything. Amusing, poignant and thoughtful, this is one to be shared aloud.Top
