Xbox One
2. Sorry, except for dead rising, I don't care about any of those games. If the previous gen is any indication, the Xbone will only have 2-ish games that I actually want, and the PS4 will have lots more.
3. Well, the DS4 can be connected to computers, last I heard, and I do like the analogue sticks to be on the same level, such as the Wii U or PS4
4. I despise Kinect. Until it's used for an amazing game in a way that nothing else could, or to make the computers from minority report, I'm out.
5. Hold this one till #9
6. Ah, ha! One whole advantage! I found it! Now, you can chat with your friends easily without a head-set, or a phone, or computer nearby! That is if I had friends...
7. I only play one game on a console that would care about servers: FFXIV, and they have their own servers, so whatever.
8. Don't bring up a point if it actually goes to the opponent. Yes, PS4 has better DDR. This isn't a chance for you to say something else about specs. If you want to point out that Xbone has better specs, show them man.
9. And this is what I think I hate most about the Xbone. I'm not looking for an everything device, I'm looking for something to play games on. I don't get an iPhone/iPad for games. If they are backing out of the gaming market as their primary market, then have a good one.
It's as if Apple said, "Hey, next in the line of laptops, we made the apple microwave, now you can make food anywhere! We heard that people like to eat, that's what inspired this. Oh, and for those of you who aren't forward thinking enough, it can still be used as a computer."
Slow down, buddy! Just because people can read it doesn't mean it isn't crap!

The only thing I really care about is the GUI - which 360 does a billion times better, one only need spend about 5 minutes in the Xbox online store vs PSN store to see how horrific Sony's is - it's disorganized, hard to use and every update seems to make it slower and slower.
At least for me, the PSN store ran ace until it got that stupid update that changed it so much.
Can't wait for October!

I can't wait to get my hands on my Xbox One console and launch games. That said, he likes the Kinect and does not have any interest in Dead Rising 3. His opinions differ so greatly from mine that we can never reach an understanding.

Contemporary Critical Perspectives in EducationThis engaging text examines issues in education and curriculum theory from multiple critical perspectives.

Justice and the Politics of DifferenceIn this classic work of feminist political thought, Iris Marion Young challenges the prevailing reduction of social justice to distributive justice.

Poor Mr. Ford
Last season Mike Modano had the captain's "C" ripped off his Dallas Stars sweater. And last week, he apparently had his testicles removed. By his new wife. Watching the newlyweds give a tour of their Dallas home on MTV's Cribs, you learn that the couple has matching Mercedes, dogs named Scout and Bella and electric drapes, ya know, because they're so damned lazy. You also learn who wears the Dockers in the family, and it ain't No. 9.
While Modano, who married actress Willa Ford a few days ago, gets to have his lucky elephant facing the front door and a "man room" equipped with three 52-inch hi-defs, he also gets repeatedly yanked around in the almost uncomfortable segment. (Uncomfortable -- or perhaps it was just me, uneasy in my envy.) Willa, wearing an oh-so-tight burgundy tank top for those of us more enamored of curves than curtains, tells viewers she can whip Mike's ass in pool, ridicules his battalion of hair products, calls him an "idiot" for laughing at her description of their dual-head shower and proclaims a side bathroom as "the crapper -- no No. 2s in the master bath, right, honey?" She also squeezes hubby's ass, so I guess we'll call it even.
While Modano mumbles through a few lines, Willa dominates the tour, showing off her color-coordinated bras ("a little something sexy for the boys"), revealing that she's lactose intolerant and, when it starts raining, provocatively announcing that "I'm gonna get wet for you."
She even takes a stab at the Stars which, after all, seems reasonable. While Mo is proudly displaying his chopper the team gave him for 1,000 goals and 1,000 games, Ford interjects, "Athletes on motorcycles -- good mix, Stars." Domineering or not, when Mike tires of Willa, the lines forms behind me.

Here at the Affordable Art Fair, we tend to compare buying art to falling in love. You see something you like, you can't stop thinking it, suddenly you can't imagine life without it and next thing you know wedding bells are a-ringing.
Which is fantastic, and something we couldn't encourage more! But what happens after you've set up home together? It can be difficult to find the perfect spot for your beloved new artwork, so we thought we'd seek some expert advice from one of our galleries. Here, Art Angler's Jason Dick explains how to place artwork within your home to maximum effect.
How can art transform and enhance a room?
Art can transform a room in a variety of ways, but it all starts with what style you connect with. At Art Angler our first step is to discover the artists our clients like. Once we've narrowed it down, the next step is to determine the scale and orientation of the work the client is looking for. Often times, if we don't have an exact size and shape available, we can present multiple pieces in a variety of layouts (for example diptychs, triptychs or stacked) to fit a particular space as needed.
A really vibrant and colourful palette, in a fun fresh style, such as the work of Xavi Carbonell, can bring a new level of energy to a space. Whilst a piece by Gloria Saez relays a strong sense of serenity and offers that feeling of "escaping" back to the quietness of nature, which a lot of people look for in art. They want a peaceful space to come home to after a long day of work.
Can you use art to bring together the style of your home?
Art is a fantastic way to bring together themes and styles of interiors. People who are searching for specific colours to work with the palette of their home often come to the gallery. Perhaps it's a tone, or a specific shade that will play off or complement other pieces within the space. Or maybe it's a specific burst of colour or contrast they are searching for. Thought out properly, the right piece of art can transform and complete the design of any space. Although it's important to also note that art can of course stand alone to great effect.
How do you decide where to hang a specific artwork?
This depends on whether you have any specific goals in mind for your interior space, but it always helps to consider the function of the room. What seems appropriate in terms of style and subject matter according to how you use the room?
Or maybe you have specific goals for the artwork itself – a strong statement piece, a pop of colour, freshness and power, or would you prefer the tranquility and calming effects of a more traditional landscape scene? And do you have a preference for palette – cool? warm? Are there particular colours you feel strongly about and want to highlight in your home?
And finally you have the basics, like how high or low to hang in a space based on visual perspectives. Typically works are hung with the centre of the work at eye level, but those rules can be bent to create a more harmonious overall environment.
Why do you think we should hang art in our homes?
There are lots of reasons to hang art in your home as mentioned above, but the most important reason for me is that art speaks to us without words. When we connect with a piece it brightens our lives. It's an endless story to explore and discover at our own pace, and in our own space. It can energize us, relax us, change our mood, and all that's required of the viewer is a simple glance.

Bibliophilia for Beginners
Tips and Traps When Buying for the Aspiring Book Collector
You may think that no gift could be safer or tamer than a book. Rare books, however, are a different beast—if you're planning to buy one for a friend, or to treat yourself, remember the advice that is always given about dogs: They are not just for Christmas. In Arturo Pérez-Reverte's thriller "The Dumas Club," the satanic book dealer Varo Borja declares: "Becoming a book collector is like joining a religion: It's for life."
All collecting is a disease, but lusting after rare books often strikes those without the bug as deranged. Unlike paintings or fine furniture, say, books are intrinsically mass-produced objects. What's more, you can look at a watercolor or a piece of porcelain without doing it any damage, but—according to the memoirs of the writer and collector John Baxter—a rare book loses $5 in value every time you open it.
There are customers who buy leather volumes—often bound journals or superseded encyclopedias—by the yard, and may well never have heard of Anthony Powell's novel "Books Do Furnish a Room." That is interior decorating, not collecting.
But there are almost as many ways into the field as there are collectors. The obvious first step is to collect a favorite author—though, unless your pockets are very deep, think hard about who that is. Writers who were commercially successful may have had larger print runs, but also tend to attract more people who specialize in their books. And if you like Graham Greene, John Dickson Carr, Philip K. Dick, Ed McBain or P.G. Wodehouse, remember how prolific they were.
Some genres, notably crime and science fiction, attract fanatical collectors, while the original readers disposed of the books like magazines, guaranteeing their rarity. Others collect lists: every book in Harold Bloom's "The Western Canon" or Cyril Connolly's "100 Key Books of the Modern Movement," say, or the winners of the Booker, Pulitzer or Whitbread Prizes.
The good news is that actually finding particular books is easier than ever: Almost all fine-book dealers maintain websites, and many operate only from them. That is no wonder, given the overheads of traditional second-hand booksellers, where the likelihood is that 90% of the stock brings in less than 10% of their income. Beware, however, of less established online sellers, whose idea of the value of a book can be wildly inflated.
With that in mind, here are some traps, and tips, for the aspirant collector.
Literary merit may not come into it much. A bound first edition of the magazine publication of "Dombey and Son" can be found for £400, while a first edition of Ian Fleming's "Casino Royale" is currently for sale (through abebooks.com) at $145,000 (£93,000).
Popularity and scarcity. What makes the difference? One factor is that James Bond has more fans than Paul Dombey, another that "Casino Royale" was Fleming's first Bond novel and there were fewer than 5,000 copies—which sold out in less than a month—in the first print run.
Condition, condition, condition. The major factor, though, is that Fleming's book is advertised as "Fine," with an unclipped dustjacket and the publisher's slip declaring it an advance copy for review. It is difficult to overstate the importance of condition to most collectors; a rebound book from Boot's Lending Library is worth a few pence; if it has the original wrapper, which were often reattached when they were sold on, that may be worth hundreds of pounds. Children's books in good condition are popular and rare: Blackwell (rarebooks.blackwell.co.uk) is selling "The Voyage of the Dawn Treader," by C.S. Lewis, for £2,500.
Association copies (a partial exception to the rule). Almost anything written in a book, except the author's signature, will reduce its value. The exception is when the dedicatee is associated with the writer, or when one writer has annotated another's work. For example, Peter Harrington (peterharrington.co.uk) has two first editions of "Dracula" for sale at the moment. The unsigned one is £7,500; the other has Bram Stoker's handwritten dedication to Mrs. W.S. Gilbert, wife of the celebrated lyricist with whom Stoker, who was business manager of the Lyceum Theatre, had worked. It is priced at £125,000. Even more expensive is Dashiell Hammett's "The Maltese Falcon" (£150,000), one of two copies known to have been signed the day he received the book.
Classics. Not all old, finely bound and historically important books are ruinously expensive. Maggs Brothers (www.maggs.com) are currently selling books from the library of the Earls of Macclesfield, including beautiful copies of classical authors, some for under £500.
Books can be found anywhere—but don't count on it. Although there may be a very rare edition of any book in your attic, it's unlikely that it will have its wrappers, or be free from the wear and tear inflicted by most readers. The serious book-truffler may pick up a book worth hundreds of pounds almost anywhere—I have picked up quite a lot of first editions of fairly rare books (some never published in the U.K.) for a few pence at jumble sales and church fêtes. Alas, few were what a collector would call "mint", "fine", "near fine", "good" (i.e., not very good) or even "fair" (battered to bits).
Writers come in and out of fashion. Literary reputations are, like many things, subject to the vagaries of the market. Some former stellar figures are currently lower in the firmament than they are likely to be in the future; a first edition of W. Somerset Maugham's "The Moon and Sixpence" is for sale at London's Ash Rare Books (ashrare.com) for £400, for example. Writers such as John Fowles, Lawrence Durrell, Iris Murdoch and Anthony Burgess have also seen dips in their posthumous reputations, but are likely to be reassessed. Modern first editions from the past century often cost less than £50, or even 50 pence, if you get lucky.
Talent-spot tomorrow's rarities. If these prices seem eye-watering, buy first editions of writers currently working who haven't yet won major prizes, but whose reputations may grow. They can easily be found in second-hand and remainder shops and online, probably cheaper than the latest Lee Child in hardback. Come to think of it, Lee Child might well become collectable.

Odd Mom Out Returns & Ginnifer Goodwin's Baby NewsBy Gerri Miller
Find out who's guest starring on Odd Mom Out this season and get the scoop on Goodwin's new babe!Go To Pop Culture
What the Wedding Might Look Like
I wrote a feature for the Huffington Post that was published today: What Chelsea Clinton's Ceremony Might Look Like. It's written to explain, to people who might not be familiar with Jewish wedding ceremony customs, what they might be seeing if the couple decides to have a Jewish wedding or incorporate elements of a Jewish wedding in their own.
I've been getting a lot of calls from the media about upcoming wedding. It occurred to me that the decisions Chelsea and Marc make could have a big impact on the decisions of other interfaith couples. For better or worse, what celebrities do has a lot of influence. Think how many people got interested in kabbalah because of Madonna.
If Chelsea Clinton and Marc Mezvinsky were to make Jewish choices either for their wedding or after, a lot of other young interfaith couples might want to think twice and more favorably about doing the same for themselves.

Lifestyle guru Kylie Jenner realized something cool to pass on to her dedicated Snapchat following: when you spill soda on your lap, find a CVS with a bathroom and dry yourself off down there.
The reality star did just that on a fun adventure with her pals, proving that she's a resourceful girl and not just a pair of lips.
When the spill went down, she immediately requested a stop at CVS.
She took advantage of the drugstore's restroom and dried herself off.
The crisis was averted, and Kylie was free to go back to her favorite activity: blank stares.
Thanks, Kylie!

What most expectant parent don't realize is that they truly are in charge of their baby's birthing. They get to choose the way the labor and birth go, as well as their baby's care after birth. It is no different than any other service that you pay for, except that it is much more important. You are paying the doctor's nurse's and other staff's salaries, and you deserve to get what you want. If there are true complications, that's when the doc, midwife or nurses step in and help. Just like being a Lifeguard at a pool: No one needs to do anything except keep a watchful eye on things, and if anyone's in trouble, that's when they jump in to help.
Routine vaginal exams
Routine vaginal exams are very common in late pregnancy
Benefits: A routine vaginal exam at the end of your pregnancy actually has no benefits since your present dilation/effacement/station are not indicators of when your birthing time will begin.
Risks: There is a small risk of infection and PROM (Premature rupture of membranes) (See Henci Goer's The Thinking Woman's Guide to a Better Birth for realities for related studies pgs 204-209) Stripping of the membranes is often done as well during a routine vaginal exam, (see below) and can cause many days of cramping, bleeding and possible sleep loss without any benefit.
Alternatives: You can tell your care provider that you would prefer not to have one. And keep your panties on.
vaginal exams measure several things:
- Dilation & thinning of the cervix, at that time
- Position of the baby, at that time
- Station of the baby, at that time
- Position of the cervix, at that time
Vaginal exams do not measure:
- When the baby is coming
- Whether the baby will fit through your pelvis (in most cases)
- All the progress being made before or in your birthing time
Vaginal Exams during the Birthing Time
"Let's see how far along you are." Vaginal exams are administered in your birthing time to assess dilation of the cervix.
Benefits: This really has few benefits, as it tells you nothing about when the baby will be born, but has some risks. Having a vaginal exam when you feel "pushy" may be of help to ascertain if you are fully dilated.
Risks: Every time an attendant checks the mother's cervix, the risk of infection is increased, especially if her bag of waters is broken.
Vaginal exams may also cause the mother to tense up, and her ability to relax is reduced. Some women like to find out how far they are dilated, but this is not a reliable way to figure out how long a she has left. In fact, it might discourage her if she finds out she is dilated less than she imagined, and this emotional element is very important. If a woman is not dilating quickly enough, interventions may be instituted. This puts additional stress on the birthing woman.
Aside from obvious risks, vaginal exams can be very uncomfortable, especially if performed during a surge. (Ed.: Before one is done, take a deep breath and as you exhale, concentrate on your "Anesthesia" programming, "seeing" the anesthesia all around your cervix, and relaxing your pelvis.) Further, it is impossible to predict how long your birthing time will last from how far a woman is dilated. It would be well advised to pay attention to emotional signposts instead. They give a lot more clue to where a woman is progressing in birth.
Stripping the membranes
A procedure called "Stripping the membranes? consists of separating your bag of water from your cervix, during a vaginal exam. It may be done without your consent or knowledge, and this can be avoided by talking to your doctor before any internal exam.
Benefits: Some believe that it will bring on birthing surges within 24-48 hours. There is no scientific data to back this theory up.
Risks: There is a risk of infection and premature rupture of membranes, and it may be painful.
Alternatives: You can tell your care provider that you would prefer not to have the procedure done.
Inductions are becoming increasingly common for varying reasons. There are no studies to prove that routine induction regardless of gestational age improves perinatal outcome. The average length of gestation for primiparas (first pregnancy) is 274 days and multiparas (second and beyond pregnancy) 269 days from ovulation so that translates to 41 weeks 1 day for first time moms and 40 weeks 3 days for subsequent babies. Research evidence shows that induction for "suspected big baby" results in higher c-section and operative vaginal delivery rates than waiting for the birthing time to start on its own, and there is no evidence that larger babies pose a bigger risk of problems during birth. Furthermore, there is currently no way to assess how big a baby will actually be at birth, and ultrasound is often erroneous by several pounds.
Benefits: When medically indicated an induction can improve the perinatal outcome. Medically indicated reasons would not include you being past 40 weeks or a suspected large baby but rather a physical problem with you or the baby, a BPP (Biophysical profile) indicating a possible problem, or a Stress or Non-Stress Test indicating a possible problem. Keep in mind that these tests are meant for a prolonged pregnancy and they have a high false positive rate. This is not a cut and dry subject; there are many variables, and for this reason it is very important to have a care provider you trust and be as educated as possible.
Risks: It may not work, and your chance of getting a Cesarean Section are higher than if you would have gone into your birthing time spontaneously.
Alternatives: There are many natural ways of inducing birthing waves such as using hypnosis, nipple stimulation, intercourse, herbs, enemas, castor oil, etc.

• Natural Induction Techniques
• Getting what you want in your Birth Experience
Amniotomy is the artificial rupture of the membranes with an amniohook (AROM). An Amniotomy can be done to either induce birthing surges or at some point during the birthing time.
Benefits: If it is done later in the birthing time it can get a stalled one started again.
Risks: There are quite a few risks involved with Amniotomy. The amniotic fluid provides a cushion for both you and the baby, therefore making the pressure surge more comfortable, and the baby's head protected from compression. The baby can get stuck in an unfavorable position because he/she can not maneuver as easily with the amniotic fluid gone. There is an increased likelihood of umbilical cord compression or cord prolapse, where the umbilical cord gets flushed out with the water when it breaks and gets kinked like a hose. Due to the sterile field of the amniotic sac being broken you also have a higher risk of developing an infection. From the time you have an Amniotomy you are on the "clock" so to speak. A lot of care providers require birth within 24 hours regardless of method. Also you may be restricted to bed and you will be restricted from showering and/or bathing.
Alternatives: It depends on what your care provider wants to accomplish with AROM. If they suggest AROM to speed the birthing time up or get a stalled one going again and your baby is showing no signs of distress, you can simply give your body time to do what it was made to do, or use natural birthing stimulation techniques. If they suggest AROM to induce birthing surges you can use Evening Primrose Oil, nipple stimulation or other ideas. There are many. Read more about amniotomy.
Pitocin is commonly used to induce birthing surges or increase the strength and/or duration of them. There are some problems associated with the use of Pitocin:
Pitocin was designed to simulate the body's natural oxytocin, which is released in bursts, however Pitocin is administered through an IV in a continuous stream, and because of this the pressure surges are unnaturally strong, peak longer and may result in decreased uterine blood flow which can cause harm to the baby, and tetanic pressure surges, which can cause uterine rupture.
Benefits: Pitocin inductions only work when your body is ready for birth; you may want to check your score on the Bishops Chart to gage the likeliness of a Pitocin induction being successful.
Risks: Pitocin can start the domino effect - IV, Pitocin, external fetal monitoring, lack of mobility, diminished ability to deal with pressure surges, pain medication, weaker surges due to narcotics, then more Pitocin, fetal distress, etc. Cons for the birthing mother include much more discomfort and prolonged difficult pressure surges, which may cause premature separation of the placenta, rupture of the uterus, laceration of the cervix or postpartum hemorrhage. Cons for the baby include fetal asphyxia and neonatal hypoxia from too frequent and prolonged uterine pressure surges, physical injury and prematurity if the due date is not accurate.
Alternatives: It depends on what your care provider wants to accomplish with Pitocin. If they suggested Pitocin to speed birthing surges up or get a stalled birthing time going again you can try walking, changing positions, nipple stimulation and of course make sure you are well hydrated and nourished. If they suggested using Pitocin to induce, you can try walking, nipple stimulation, intercourse (if your waters are intact) and many other natural induction techniques. If none of those work it is likely a Pitocin induction would also be unsuccessful. Read more about pitocin".
An Episiotomy is a surgical incision in the perineum (the area of skin between the vagina and the anus). It is the equivalent to a 2nd degree tear. There is no reason to have one done in a normal vaginal birth (by that I mean non-operative).
Benefits: Episiotomies are said to speed up the birth by 5-10 minutes, prevent tearing, protect against incontinence, and are said to heal easier than a tear. There is no scientific evidence to back these theories up.
Risks: Infection, increased pain, increase in 3rd and 4th degree vaginal lacerations (extensions into the rectum), significantly longer healing time and when sexual intercourse is resumed, there is increased discomfort.
Alternatives: Don't get an Episiotomy. When you talk with your care provider ahead of time about your birth plan be sure to include what you would like your care provider to do regarding this issue (you can specify that you would rather tear naturally if it came down to that). Ahead of time you can do Kegels, you can request warm compresses on your perineum while your baby's head is crowning, and push slowly all of these will lessen your chances of tearing. (Ed.: At crowning you can ease the baby's head out in between surges! -- more on this later) More Episiotomy Resources.
**(What is a true indication for an episiotomy? A tear that is starting to go up into the peri-urethral area, or fetal distress.)
Continuous Electronic Fetal Monitoring
This method provides beat to beat view of the baby's heart tones, in relationship to mother's pressure surges on a continuous basis. This is a benefit for the high risk mother, but of questionable benefit to the low risk mother.
Benefits: There is NO proven benefit to continuous EFM over periodic checks of Fetal Heart Tones -- birth outcomes have been shown to be the same whether EFM is used, a hand-held Doppler or a non-electronic fetoscope; Intermittent Fetal Monitoring can be safely used during the birthing time.
Risks: This method does use ultrasound; leaves room for mechanical error, which may cause incorrect interpretation, unnecessary interventions etc.; loss of maternal mobility (when in use), and/or trouble with the baby descending properly, which is often aided by movement, which may slow your birthing waves; and may switch attention from the mother to the machine.
Alternatives: Intermittent Fetal Monitoring; 20 minutes on and 40 minutes off. More:
• Monitoring FAQ
• Monitoring Resources
• Routine Electronic Monitoring
Internal Monitoring
This is sometimes more accurate than the electronic monitoring, does not use ultrasound, and can provide continuous monitoring for the high risk mother. It is done by screwing an electrode into the top of the baby's head and placing a probe into the vagina/uterus.
This method requires that your water be broken (An amniotomy will be performed if your membranes are still intact.), and that you be 2-3 centimeters dilated. Amniotomy adds risks of its own. However, the risks and benefits of each procedure must be weighed.
Benefits: This type of monitoring is mostly used in high-risk situations or when more accurate types of monitoring may prevent other unnecessary interventions.
Risks: Internal monitoring has been associated with fetal injury (from the electrode), high rate of infection for mother or baby, and also severely restricts movement. It could damage baby elsewhere if the top of the head is not the presenting part.
Alternatives: If there is not a high risk situation or emergency happening, you can choose to be monitored with intermittent EFM. For more information, read Internal Electronic Fetal Monitoring.
Epidural anesthesia
Epidural anesthesia uses repeated doses of a local anesthetic in the epidural space of the spinal area. It numbs the nerves from the uterus and birth passage without stopping the birthing surges.
Benefits: Epidural block provides effective analgesia in many cases and can be used to lower a birthing woman's blood pressure if too high.
Risks: Aside from not always working, or providing "patchy" relief, epidurals often lower the mother's blood pressure too much, which decreases the amount of oxygen for the baby, increasing the risk of fetal distress. Occasionally the medication is placed erroneously in the spine and goes up instead of down, creating respiratory failure or distress in the mother.
Often the mother's temperature rises (Epidural Fever) and can lead to hypothermia of the baby in which case a full workup after the birth is usually ordered to rule out infection, and that often includes a spinal tap on your newborn. Also, although an attempt is made to time the epidural right so that it can wear off so the mother can feel her pushing efforts, it is tricky and often unsuccessful. Pushing while anesthetized not only makes pushing less effective, it robs the mother of urge to push, which (as opposed to full dilation) should be what dictates when pushing begins. This also often results in the need for forceps and vacuum, extraction birth, which carry their own risks
It also makes the perineal and vaginal muscles slack and unable to turn the baby after the birth of the head, and sometimes results in sexual dysfunction weeks and months later. In addition, an epidural is associated with an increased risk of needing Pitocin to augment pressure surges, and a Cesarean Section for failure to progress, as it often slows down birthing surges dramatically, as well as short and long term postpartum back pain.
Alternatives: There are other ways of reducing any discomforts of birthing. Many women are helped by techniques learned in childbirth classes - (Ed: YAY, Hypno-birthing!) relaxation, massage, positioning, visualization, hypnosis, distraction, focusing and breathing that are done with the support of another person. These non-drug coping skills use your own strengths and place you in control of your own body. For more information, read Epidural Express.
Coached pushing
Coached pushing is when nurses or other caregivers can get quite enthusiastic about the Second stage of the birthing time and begin to direct it in loud, athletic tones, admonishing the mother to push as hard and long as she can, holding her breath while they count to 10 over and over, usually after putting the back of the bed down all the way so that the mother is actually pushing uphill.
Benefits: If the baby is at risk during the pushing stage, all efforts must be made to get it out quickly and this may help.
Risks: "Purple Pushing" will have the effect of actually closing off the Birth Path due to tension, and wear the mother out. Amazingly, a mother doesn't actually have to push much to get the baby out; the uterus will do the work well on its own. Each woman should do what her body tells her to do. Push gently with the surges, and relax fully in between.
"Purple pushing" also increases the risk of injury to the perineum.
In addition, between full dilation and actually feeling the urge to push there is often a resting phase. To tell a woman when she must push, especially if she does not feel the urge immediately, can lead to many problems. Breath-holding, it has been shown in studies, leads to lowered umbilical artery pH, abnormal changes in fetal heart rate and lower Apgar scores.
Alternatives: Make sure your caregivers know that you are pushing in a completely mother-directed way, thank them for their help, but ask for some time alone to get into your own rhythm. If you want to avoid tearing, push gently, or "breathe the baby out."

You know that old football cliche: If you have two quarterbacks, that means you have no quarterbacks.
Well, that did not really apply to Georgia Tech and Virginia last week.
Both teams rotated in two quarterbacks with success, and both ended up winning their respective games -- Georgia Tech over Maryland and Virginia over NC State to snap a six-game losing streak. They have no plans to scrap their plans, either.
Georgia Tech coach Paul Johnson will play Tevin Washington and Vad Lee this week against North Carolina; Virginia coach Mike London will play Phillip Sims and Michael Rocco this week against Miami.
So why did the multiple quarterback system work so well when it has failed so many times before?
"We've been down the 'try this guy', 'try that guy' approach, and it got to the point where both of them have talent," London explained this week. "Both of them are selfless. They're both guys that actually like each other. Some people think that guys are adversaries because of it. But they split reps in practice, and it's allowed us to do some things offensively to take advantage of those skill sets that they have.
"They both have bought into it. There's not an ego between Michael or Phillip. We have to get the job done when we do this. We will win. That's all that matters to them."
The way London used his quarterbacks against NC State was much more of a surprise than what Georgia Tech did. First, the Jackets have used Lee at various points throughout the season. Second, Johnson said going into the game against Maryland last week he would play Washington and Lee extensively. But Lee saw his most extensive game action of the season, as the Jackets rotated quarterbacks every couple of series.
Lee ended up getting one more series than Washington, a first this season.
"I thought they both did some positive things," Johnson said. "We plan on probably going that route again this week. I don't know how much we'll use each one, but I feel reasonably sure they're both going to play."
At Virginia, the best stat of all for Sims and Rocco was a bit fat zero next to the interceptions column. Virginia has struggled all year holding onto the football. But that game was the first time since the opener against Richmond that the Hoos did not throw an interception. Sims finished 8-of-10 for 115 yards and a touchdown; Rocco went 12-of-23 for 83 yards and another score.
Now we will see if the two-quarterback system works again Saturday.

Hello there
Chris had just finished his second tour of duty in Iraq when his roommate at Honolulu's Schofield Barracks invited him to brunch with a group of soldiers from Schofield and nearby Tripler Army Medical Center.
Amy, a critical-care nurse from Cherry Hill, was among the Tripler crew that late December morning in 2009.
With 10 people around the table, Chris and Amy, both U.S. Army captains, exchanged only small talk. But that was enough for Amy to realize Chris was a nice guy, and notice his gorgeous hazel eyes. Two weeks later, she asked Justin, the friend who had invited her to brunch, to invite his buddy Nate and Nate's roommate Chris to her 27th birthday bash.

The Montreal Canadiens are currently third in the Atlantic Division ahead of the 2014 playoffs. With the Habs owning a 38-26-7 record and 11 games remaining in their regular season, a lot can still happen.
The Habs are 18 points behind the Boston Bruins for first place overall, so "anything" happening is pretty much out the window. However, they are two points behind the second-seeded Tampa Bay Lightning, three points up on the Toronto Maple Leafs, who currently hold the top wild-card spot, and six points up on the ninth-place Detroit Red Wings, who have two games in hand.
Put simply, nothing is guaranteed, including a playoff spot. Here are the Canadiens' five likeliest first-round 2014 playoff scenarios:

Customer Reviews
I was quite excited for these gloves to come, this was my first pair of sliding gloves and I wanted it to be a "nice" pair, I thought with the seemingly flawless reviews the quality of these gloves would be great.
After I opened the gloves and put them on I noticed the left glove's puck was off the velcro pad about half way, so I tried to reposition the puck and the adhesive on the back of the puck just came right off immediately it was covered in dirt and some (I assume) human hairs.. the adhesive had completely lost all if its stickiness rendering that glove completely useless for me!
As soon as I opened the gloves and looked at them I noticed problems with them, the Landyachtz logo was half missing on both gloves, these logos are supposed to be pressed in.. again not a huge issue.. but we are paying a premium for quality slide gloves and Landyachtz has not delivered whatsoever
Now I'm left with the choice to buy more pucks from another dealer or drive an hour to the closest board shop....
I would not recommend these gloves to other people..
Pros: Durable, leather, smooth slide puck, keeps you warm in winter.
Con's: Seams will fray if you rub them on the ground, makes you hot in the summer.*
*Buy the ones with Velcro fingertips and attach finger slide pucks.*
Buy these gloves tho, hella durable,comfortable, all around good glove. And i just duck-taped the fingertips so there were no rips.
I've got the new ones with the velcro tips - after one particularly spectacular fall the pinky velcro has peeled off slightly - but nothing some shoe-goo won't fix. And my pinky skin is perfectly intact!
Pucks are grreat - I've been enjoying Coleman slide practice as well as high speed turns and I gotta tell you, I'm glad those pucks are on there...........if they are meant to wear down, they haven't yet.
One more thing, I live in tropics where it is sweltering all the time - at the end of a long session (say 3 plus hours) these things are soaked with sweat. The good thing is though, I don't really notice because well, they fit like a glove.

/ Don't Let Nutrients Runoff This Winter
USDA's Natural Resources Conservation Service (NRCS) is reminding Iowa farmers to refrain from surface applying manure and fertilizer to frozen, snow-covered or saturated soils.
Eric Hurley, nutrient management specialist for NRCS in Des Moines, says applying manure to snow-covered or frozen soil can easily wash away during a rapid snowmelt or during early spring rains. "Manure is too valuable of a resource and fertilizer is too expensive to risk runoff," he said. "Not to mention the environmental impacts it would cause."
Hurley says potash is not considered a water pollutant, but since it is such an expensive fertilizer to apply, winter application may be a risky investment that could be lost through runoff.
Iowa NRCS released its updated Nutrient Management Standard in 2013, which included new language for manure application during cold weather months. Hurley says the new standard more clearly states that manure and fertilizer storage, and management systems, should avoid surface applying nutrients when the risk of runoff his high – when soils are frozen and/or snow-covered, or when the top two inches of the soil are saturated.
"The new standard also added fertilizer to this section of the standard, which only included manure nutrients before," said Hurley. Municipal and industrial bio-solids are also subject to the same winter management considerations as manure.
For liquid swine manure or wastewater – in which most of the nitrogen is readily available – farmers should apply the manure as close to when crops need it as possible. "This generally means a spring application during a corn year in the rotation," says Hurley.
For manures that release nitrogen more slowly – such as solid beef and dairy manures, manure mixed with bedding, or feedlot scrapings – fall application can be more desirable since it takes time for the nutrients to be released. "In the case of surface application, there is also less risk of phosphorus runoff," said Hurley.
Manure may be surface applied to snow-covered or frozen ground on an emergency basis if storage capacity becomes insufficient due to a natural disaster, unusual weather conditions, equipment or structural failure, or other situation that creates a risk of an uncontrolled manure release.
Hurley says if a farmer has or anticipates an emergency situation, they should contact their local NRCS office to prepare a manure disposal plan.
Manure provides many benefits to the soil as it is incorporated, especially as a valuable source of plant nutrients. It also helps build soil structure and resistance to compaction. When manure becomes part of the soil, it reduces runoff and erosion by helping to increase the soil's water infiltration and water holding capacity.
Livestock operations subject to Iowa Department of Natural Resources (DNR) rules have different application specifications. Contact your local Iowa DNR field office for details.
NRCS field office staff is available Monday through Friday to answer questions about nutrient management, or visit the Iowa NRCS website at www.ia.nrcs.usda.gov.

TULIA - U.S. District Judge Mary Lou Robinson of Amarillo ruled against a Tulia man Friday in a lawsuit contesting the Tulia Independent School District's drug-testing policy, according to court papers.
Alan Bean will have to pay the school's taxable costs in the 2001 case, which was the second case challenging the district's policy of randomly testing extracurricular students.
Robinson granted summary judgment in favor of the defendants, which included the school district and Sam Sadler, president of the Tulia school board. Summary judgment is a judgment made without trial.
"Obviously, we're disappointed," Bean said. But after the Supreme Court ruled in 2002 that testing all extracurricular students was legal, he said he saw the writing on the wall.
"We were at the point where we either retool our arguments from scratch or yield to the inevitable," he said. Bean said he doesn't know if he'll appeal, but hoped someone would come forward to continue fighting the district policy.
Ken Miller, Tulia schools superintendent, said he expected the court to rule in the district's favor.
"We're happy that it's all said and done," Miller said. He said the district continues to test extracurricular students from seventh through 12th grade.
Bean filed the lawsuit on behalf of his son Amos. It alleged the district's policy violated Amos Bean's rights under the U.S. and Texas constitutions with the suspicion-less drug testing of athletes.
Robinson found otherwise, stating in the summary judgment opinion that the policy meets the standards of constitutionality.
She could not find proof to Bean's assertion that the policy was actually suspicion-based and racially biased, according to court papers. She charged that Bean did not bring enough evidence to support the claim.
The school district, on the other hand, did bring additional evidence supporting the random, suspicion-less drug testing procedure the district actually used, according to court papers.
Bean said Friday he wants to see a more detailed report showing the breakdown of the racial and ethnic composition of students in extracurricular activities, compared to the students who actually took the test.
"We used the evidence we had," he said. "I thought we made a strong case."
Bean also argued to the court his son was drug-tested after he revoked his written consent to give the test. Robinson said in her opinion he showed no evidence the consent was revoked or when the drug test was performed.
Miller said in his response to the lawsuit that he was unaware of any such drug test.
Robinson also ruled Bean's claims for declaratory and injunctive relief became moot upon his son's high school graduation in May.
The first lawsuit to contest Tulia's drug-testing policy, filed by Hollister Gardner, was rejected on appeal.

Call the Midwife III, Part 1
Saturday, October 3 at 8:00 p.m.
The hit series' third season takes viewers to 1959, the eve of the Swinging Sixties. The winds of change are sweeping through the country and the residents of Nonnatus House face some momentous changes of their own.
The nuns and midwives of Nonnatus House move into their new premises, and Sister Winifred (Victoria Yeates), a warm-hearted, slightly innocent young woman, arrives from the Mother House.
Sister Monica Joan's (Judy Parfitt) increasingly eccentric behavior causes concern, yet she's the one who solves a perplexing medical mystery. New housewife and mother Chummy spearheads an Open Day at the Community Centre. After helping to deliver a neighbor's baby, she decides she wants to return to midwifery.
"Call the Midwife," based on the best-selling memoirs of the late Jennifer Worth, tells colorful stories of midwifery and families in London's East End.
Shown from L-R: Helen George as Trixie, Miranda Hart as Chummy, Jessica Raine as Jenny, Bryony Hannah as Cynthia.

Here's a shot of the Anterior Median and Anterior Lateral Eyes of an adult female Phidippus putnami. I actually found (and photographed - see here) this spider as a sub-adult on July 9th, and to my delight, a few weeks later - found her again as a matured adult!
She must have just molted as she was in absolutely immaculate condition - perfectly clean eyes, no lost scales, no messed up hair... and to top it all off - she was quite cooperative while I photographed her! Of course, (like nearly all salticids) she made a few leaps to the camera and my hands - but in general - she was pretty easy to work with. I was able to capture the image above once she backed up into a little "cave" in the folds of my t-shirt (which I had removed and layed out on a railing). Once she settled down and relaxed in the darkness, I very slowly and gently moved some of the cloth out of the way with my left hand (as seen in the reflection in her eyes) and proceeded to fire away with my right.
I realize many of my photos don't really have imaginative or dynamic compositions, (I often fall into the trap of just photographing things centered, straight on, and level) but I don't take these photos to create works of art - I take them to provide clear, accurate, and informative views of these astounding animals for the public. Understand that the subject is the source of the beauty and the photograph is completely secondary. The photo above (a crop) is a manual focus stack of 4 images taken at about 4:1 with the 28mm reversed on extension tubes at f/8.

In other news - a photo I took of the eyes of a female Maevia inclemens (here it is...) is going to be featured (in some manner or another) in the October issue of Popular Photography magazine! I'll make sure to post a photo when the magazine comes out!
Hi, I'm an admin for a group called Crème de la Crème/Cream of the cream, and we'd love to have this added to the group!
Seen on the LightStalking Blog - I'm most impressed!

Just stunning, absolutely amazing, flippin fantastic...may i ask what lens you were using?
Insane series! That has got to be the closest, sharpest spider macro I've ever seen! Unreal capture!! Thanks for sharing :-)
Your work is OUTSTANDING~!! Congratulations on having your photos on MSNBC Incredible Insect Photos. Well Done~!!
Great work!!
Actually I think the composition does work -if the subject fills the frame (and it does) then centering it doesn't present a problem. The hardest part about making an image like that one work is the light, and I think you have it down ;)
wow. the master at work. endless flow of perfect macro shots.
That's the best macro of a spider's face I've ever seen! Beautiful!! Colors are amazing!
Amazing work!
Just incredible.
this is absolutely astounding. the clarity of these photos is incredible. I'm far too afraid of these guys to even get within 5 feet, let alone close enough to get images like this. I laughed as it looks like she had her own photoshoot, which i guess, essentially she did. This is amazing!!!
great shot
Genial!! las mejores fotos!!
Esta es mi modesta foto de estos bichos tan fascinantes.
Great photos, your photos really inspires us all we macrography to seguirmejorando every day to achieve excellence in your photos, I admire you and admire your work greetings from Argentina

Space requirements for van Emde Boas trees
This problem explores the space requirements for van Emde Boas trees. It suggests a way to modify the data structure to make its space requirements depend on the number n of elements actually stored in the tree, rather than on the universe size u. For simplicity,assume that p(u is always an integer.
a. Explain why the following recurrence characterizes the space requirements P (u) of a van Emde Boas tree with universe size u:
P (u) = (p u + 1)P (p u) + (pu) (1)
b. Prove that recurrence (1) has the solution P (u) = O(u).
We dene a reduced-space van Emde Boas tree, or RS-vEB tree, as a vEB tree V
but with the following changes:
The attribute V:cluster , rather than being stored as a simple array of pointers to vEB
tree with universe size
u, is a hash table stored as a dynamic table. Corresponding
to the array version of V:cluster , the hash table stores pointers to RS-vEB trees with
universe size
u. To nd the ith cluster, we look up the key i in the hash table, so
that we can nd the ith cluster by a single search in the hash table.
The hash table stores only pointers to nonempty clusters. A search for in the hash
table for an empty cluster returns NIL.
The attribute V:summary is NIL if all clusters are empty. Otherwise, V:summary
points to am RS-vEB tree with a universe size
u.The attributes V:u, V:min, V:max remain unchanged. The hash table is implemented with a
dynamic table, so the space it requires is proportional to the number of nonempty clusters.
c. Modify the vEB-Tree-Successor procedure to produce pseudocode for the proce-
dure RS-vEB-Tree-Successor(V; x), which returns the successor of x in RS-vEB
tree V , or NIL if x has no successor in V .
d. Prove that, under the assumption that each search in a hash table takes expected
time O(1), your RS-vEB-Tree-Successor procedure runs in O(lg lg u) expected
e. Assuming that elements are never deleted, prove that the space required for RS-vEB
tree is O(n), where n is the number of elements actually inserted.

The Chicago Bears today signed guard Chilo Rachal to a one-year deal. Ian Rapoport of the NFL Network first reported the news.
The former second-round pick started 38 games over the last four seasons, all with the San Francisco 49ers. Last season, the 26 year old was benched in favor of Adam Snyder.
Rachal provides depth to Chicago's offensive line and will have to challenge a number of other players on the current roster for the starting guard gig.
Guards already on the Bears roster are Chris Williams, Chris Spencer, Edwin Williams and Lance Louis. Chris Williams may get a shot at left tackle this year, while Spencer and Louis both have positional flexibility. Rachal will likely be in the mix for both starting guard spots.
The 49ers were all too ready to get rid of Rachal, who did not live up to his status as a second-round selection. He's not much of an upgrade over the players already on Chicago's roster. Mainly, he provides experience and training camp competition.
The Bears have already visited with free agent veteran guard Anthony Herrera, and recently inquired about Eric Steinbach. Obviously, the club is considering a number of different routes to improve the interior of the offensive line.
In other roster notes, the Bears released WR Max Komar yesterday, citing a non-football injury.

Things I liked: Accurate! Devastating at short to medium range 30-50yds. At 1100 fps from a condor, I have taken game as large as fox with one shot!
Things I would have changed: Maybe a heavier pellet for modded guns.
What others should know: Gives good expansion up to 75 yds in my gun, but still passes through a 2 by 4 at fifty yds!

Things I liked: I was totally surprised with the accuracy of these hollow points, even out to 83 yards with my Hatsan BT65. Even more impressive was the devastating effect on the intended targets. I have always been a JSB fan, and still am, but these are indeed outstanding hunting pellets that are second to none, at least in MY particular gun.
Things I would have changed: Nothing at all
What others should know: As with ANY pellets, what works well in 1 gun may not in another.....even of the same make and model. By all means try them and come to your own conclusion. Happy hunting/plinking

Things I liked: I first started doing this a few years back before Gamo introduced their "Rocket" rounds to Canada. I would take some .22 H&N "Crow Magnums" & put a drop of "Krazy Glue" in the center cavity, and drop in a Daisy Zinc BB, The BB centers itself, and when dry they are virtually inseparable which left me with one hell of a killing round, Flying straight & true(like a Joe Namath spiral), absolutely stunning accuracy, and performance wise. I recently picked up a Hatsan AT-44 .25 (single-shot, synth stock), and after seeing the dismal selection of rounds available in .25 decided to try it again, Now since the .25 Crow-Mag is bigger the BB sits better, and lower in the cavity, much like the original Gamo Rocket. These rounds are so accurate w/ this shooter, it's almost boring, I now get sub 3" groupings @ 100 meters w/ many "one-holers", The pellet/bb combo comes in at 32.3gr,. of absolute stopping power, and has already put a Jack-Rabbit on the table, taken at 85 yds last month " One Shot-One Kill",, I now call these my "Rhino Rounds", They "mushroom beautifully with the bb getting pushed back into the pellet, and have yet to see a bb separate from the pellet. I "Kid" you not, It takes roughly 5 minutes to make 2 dozen or so, more than you'd use for a day in the field. The hardness of the Zinc BB, combined with the famous H&N accuracy will put a smile on any shooters face, a Rabbit/Game Bird on the table, and not leave a dent in your wallet. Cheer's, and Happy Huntin', Andy.
Things I would have changed: Too Bad, You have to make these yourselves
What others should know: It only takes a couple minutes to whip up more than you'd use for a day in the field.
