State native tops weekend box office
"Wreck-It Ralph," the weekend's top-grossing film, was written by Neenah native Phil Johnston. The Disney computer-animated film about a videogame character that dreams of becoming a hero earned $49.1 million.
According to Box Office Mojo, it was the highest-grossing opening weekend for a non-Pixar animated Disney film, beating out "Tangled" and "Chicken Little." »Read Full Blog Post
Orwell meets animation in Youngblood's challenging 'Cartoon'

The flood watch began Thursday afternoon and continues until Saturday morning as scattered storms drench much of the state with up to 1 foot of rain. The watch includes nearly all of metro Atlanta and extends south to Vidalia and east to Athens.
Heavy rains swelled creeks across the state, washing out bridges and closing portions of highways with high water. National Weather Service officials say part of Ga. Highway 96 in Taylor County was closed Thursday due to flooding, and high water was reported on Ga. 128.
A flash flood warning was issued overnight in Houston County when the area received 3 to 4 inches of rain fell in two hours.

CBS (Sun., Sept. 18, 10 p.m. ET)
This drama series from writer-producer David E. Kelley (Picket Fences) focuses on the surgical staff at Chicago's Hope Hospital. The principal characters are the tempestuous but brilliant Dr. Geiger (Mandy Patinkin), who likes to listen to classic soul music and sing along in a reedy falsetto while in the O.R., and his best friend, the more levelheaded but repressed Dr. Shutt (Northern Exposure's Adam Arkin). The cast also includes Hector Elizondo, Roxanne Hart, Peter MacNicol and TV veteran E.G. Marshall.
Though the show leans a little heavily on ethical issues and its harried doctors are far too devoted to the personal welfare of their patients, Patinkin and Arkin are dynamic. Intelligent, fleet, emotionally complex and lightly dusted with Kelley's celebrated sense of the absurd, this is the best hospital show since St. Elsewhere. After this preview the series moves to its regular slot: Thursdays at 10 p.m.

On most days, I wouldn't call my job dangerous. I watch sports and write about it for a living, usually from an office building or a press box.
But Thursday night was not like most days.
A foul ball came screaming through my press box window at Amarillo National Bank Sox Stadium, nearly hitting me in the face and almost hitting the Sox PA announcer, Adam Cox, who was walking behind me.

The Amarillo Sox began collecting non-perishable food, gently used clothing and furniture to donate to local wildfire victims Saturday morning.
When I went to make my donation at about 2:30 p.m., there wasn't much in the 54-foot Affiliated Foods truck.
Sox vice president/general manager Mark Lee told me he would keep the truck there through Monday's game to keep collecting donations through the Fourth of July holiday. People can drop off their donations beginning about 2 p.m. Sunday and Monday before games against Shreveport-Bossier.

I heard a sound at about 1 a.m. Tuesday that seemed foreign at first. Then suddenly it hit me harder than the drought we in the Texas Panhandle have been facing.
It was rain. Not mist. Not a slight sprinkle. But actual, measurable, rain. Rain hard enough and sustained enough to make the tin roof of the covered parking outside my apartment window talk.

As college athletics has turned into a business that can turn a substantial profit, the question of whether its athletes -- who in some minds represent the product for which vast amounts of money gets dished out every season -- should earn a wage or be able to profit for their athletic abilities while in college is being voiced more often by some prominent voices in sports.

Few things are more heartwarming than seeing a small town come together together for its heroes. During Sunday's wildfires, that small town was my hometown, Stinnett.
After taking fire precautions at my parents' house on the north edge of town, my father, Rick, and I drove his red Ford Focus to the Community Hall at about 6:30 p.m. to see if any Scott's Acres residents had left and gone there.
There weren't any evacuees, but I found a community effort to make sure the firefighters were fed and hydrated during their valiant efforts south of town.

Pampa graduates Carlyn Teichmann and Kelby Doughty helped Howard College reach the National Junior College Athletic Association Division I softball national tournament.
Western Junior College Athletic Conference-member Howard, the seventh-seeded team in the tourney, fell to No. 2-seed Salt Lake and No. 9-seed Iowa Western earlier today, both by 4-0 scores, ending the season with a 41-20 record.
Teichmann was the 2010 Happy State Bank/Amarillo Globe-News softball player of the year last year while Doughty was an all-District 3-4A first-teamer.

Dalhart now joins several other Amarillo-are high school football teams with synthetic playing surfaces, including (but not limited to) Muleshoe, Canadian and fellow District 1-3A team Perryton.

Vince Moore, a legendary Amarillo Dillas player and former manager of the ULB's Edinburg Roadrunners, has been hired as the field manager for the American Association's Shreveport-Bossier Captains.
The American Association's Amarillo Sox, who replace the Dillas this year, will play the Captains 17 times this year, including nine home games at Amarillo National Bank Sox Stadium.
Shreveport-Bossier won its first American Association title last year.

While Amarillo-area volleyball has produced more Division I athletes than any other sport in the panhandle over the last 10 years, many more have stayed close to home to get their post-secondary education.
This year is no exception, as many have stayed as close as Clarendon and Lubbock to play college volleyball.
The latest of these seniors signed letters-of-intent Wednesday. Bushland's Brittany Lemons and Tascosa's Kennedi Catano committed to attend Angelo State and Eastern New Mexico, respectively.

Unfortunately I didn't test these to check if they were active when I first got them. I did the overnight milk-test with two of the opened capsules last night - keeping them warm. There was zero reaction compared to the control. The conclusion - even though they were refrigerated the culture was dead. Out they go. If you order these, test them immediately.
We've tried quite a few brands of probiotics and somehow my sister and I find this the most effective. It is a little pricey so I do with one capsule on alternate days. I take it first thing in the morning on an empty stomach and I find it regulates my bowel movements way more effectively than all the fiber pills I've been taking (psyhillum husk, glucommannan). I also took it upon myself to eat a healthier diet. Now I have no idea what to do with my fiber supplements!

I have tried so many different probiotics only to find out that almost all of them stop me up. None of them seem to set well with me after several days of use. These are different. They work wonderfully, don't cause me any problems, and really seem to help my digestion. Great product and great results!

I was careful to read all reviews before I buy this product. And what I have noticed after two days reduced gases and unpleasant feeling of slow digestion and fullness after taking main meals. Also I was surprised to have 2 Kg drop in my weight at the first week. I advise any one to buy this product to take it early morning at least one hour before breakfast.
Love it!

In effect, Tesla and other electric-vehicle makers have done something clever and appealing: They have replaced carbon emissions you can see with carbon emissions you cant see, at least not coming out of the tailpipe. In fact, if your electric vehicle is charged with electricity from a coal-fired power plant, it is estimated to emit 15 ounces of carbon per mile, a full 3 ounces per mile more than a similar gasoline-powered vehicle.
I dont think Im exaggerating when I say that this is the most disgraceful public scandal of our age. And I think it makes a nonsense of our belief that we are a country of great probity with an effective, honest political system. If we were as high minded and decent as we kid ourselves, then some of the parties I have named above would be facing hefty fines or a stint in prison and certainly the confiscation of their assets to compensate all the people who have lost out as a result of their dishonesty or, at best, grotesquely misguided high-mindedness. Green loons will always be with us. But the very least we ought to be able to expect our scientists, politicians, economists, businessmen and journalists to do is to hold their wild claims to account rather than indulging their fantasy and impoverishing ordinary people as a result.
* The BBC
Never once so far as I can recall has the BBC ever called into question the viability of or the need for these industrial blights on our landscape. Its supposed to be impartial and to represent the interests of the whole country. Yet it has allowed itself to be captured by a narrow establishment with a vested interest in promulgating the renewable lie. This represents a betrayal of trust, an abuse of the licence fee and a failure of journalism.
* The media generally
Here is what ought to be indeed is one of the most scandalous wastes of public money in living memory. Why werent our journalists on top of this?
How about that all you idyllic villages from Cornwall through Northamptonshire to the Fens and thence up north to the humpy Howgills and beyond whove had your views blighted, your peace disturbed, your property values trashed, your avian wildlife sliced and diced, your livestock frightened and your community cohesion disrupted by wind projects you never wanted, which you fought hard to prevent, but which were dumped on your doorstep anyway?
How does it feel to know that having wasted all that time, money and heartache trying unsuccessfully to fight those greedy developers and selfish landowners through the biased planning process only to be overruled by some sinister Inspector Blight figure from the Planning Inspectorate youve belatedly been vindicated by the wind industry itself?
The chief executive of the UK's top wind industry trade body has admitted that more turbine projects in England aren't viable - because it isn't windy enough.
GMB General Secretary Paul Kenny said: 'The renewables lobby has to face up to the need for a base load electricity capacity that is reliable and clean on the days that the wind does not blow and the sun doesn't shine.
'When your electricity supply has 'Gone with the Wind', the response of the renewable energy suppliers that 'Frankly my dear we don't give a damn' is just not acceptable.'
Pointedly, Epstein is worried not only about the rectitude of the so-called science, but the elevation of The Science as a source of implacable authority. Its as if its enough for those adhering to the minimise-human-impact, nature-centric worldview merely to invoke The Science to win the debate. The Science tells us that we must reduce CO2 emissions; The Science tells us we must reduce energy consumption; The Science tells us we have to fly less; The Science tells us to jump off a bridge
Epstein is unmoved. Any given science cannot tell you how to act, he says, mentioning the fact he himself trained to be a scientist when younger. Science can only really give you information, not instruction. We have a very religious-dogmatic approach to science, which has a long history, exploiting sciences deserved prestige for its legitimate accomplishments. Hence dictators and charlatans always want to call what they do science. So as soon as you hear someone say you should do X because The Science with a
capital S says so, youve got to start questioning it or start running.
Campaigners warned of battles to defend the countryside last night as vast new areas of England were left facing the possibility of being fracked.
The explanation for this long-standing historical trend, and for the flaw in Mr. Morgans reasoning, is the fact that production is chiefly governed by economic incentives and only secondarily by physical constraints. The production of petroleum no less than the production of coffee, corn, and candy bars increases as the return to producers increases. A rise in the price of petroleum or (as instanced by the recent fracking boom) a fall in production costs intensifies producers incentives to discover and produce more petroleum. One upshot of this reality is that Uncle Sams ban on crude-oil exports, by restricting the size of the market served by American oil producers, artificially lowers the return to producers of finding in America more sources of petroleum. Given the immense economies of scale in todays oil industry, the export ban likely lowers, rather than raises, the future amounts of accessible petroleum available in America.
Consumers and businesses won big at the Supreme Court on Monday.
The justices struck down an Environmental Protection Agency regulation on coal-plant emissions on the grounds that the EPA failed to consider whether the costs outweighed the benefits. Not the cost to government, mind you. The cost to us, as consumers and business owners, to comply.
The reduction certainly wont come from the G7 leaders: no cutbacks in motorcades, fleets of presidential 747s, entourages of hundreds:
Obamas one-night trip to Brussels last year entailed an entourage of 900, with 45 vehicles transported in three cargo planes (not to mention Air Force One and the Presidential Airlift Group), and his trip through Africa included hundreds of Secret Service agents, 56 support vehicles, including 14 limousines and three trucks, and fighter jets flying in shifts.
As also reported, last years UN summit on climate change held in Peru generated more CO2 than a small country.
Perhaps most damningly of all, its hunger for wood fuel is devastating hardwood forests in America, to the fury of US environmentalists, who say that far from saving the planet, companies like Drax are destroying it. Drax denies this, saying it only uses dust and residues from sawmills, as well as wood left over when others log trees for purposes such as construction. Inquiries by The Mail on Sunday investigation suggests this claim is highly questionable.
Dr John Constable, director of Renewable Energy Foundation, the think tank whose Freedom of Information request was responsible for forcing DECC to release the price impact tables, said: The striking scale and increasing trend of the climate policy energy price impacts are bad enough in themselves, but DECCs attempt to conceal these vitally important figures is breathtaking.
Dr Constable said he had been told by informed sources that pressure had been put on DECC to withhold the tables.
Its a story the late economist Milton Friedman would love: A whole industry rises up under a regulation-happy government and sets the stage for economic security here and abroad. Our analysis? Drill, baby, drill.
Indeed, France and Great Britain are two countries that deal with nuclear waste in a manner diametrically opposite the path chosen by American politicians. Whereas U.S. law prohibits the recycling of nuclear wasteand thereby makes the disposal problem exclusively one of long-term storageFrance and England permit nuclear waste to be recycled. France, for example, allows its 58 nuclear power plants to send spent fuel rods to a recycling facility on the Normandy coast, where after a three-year cooling period the waste is turned into mixed-oxide fuel.
Deafeningly loud it might have been, but what the Jarvis family had heard as they were to discover the following morning had taken place at Bradworthy, a mile away. It was the noise of a 115ft-high wind turbine crashing to the ground.
Non-renewable energy is sustainable; renewable energy is not, not even close, not by any meaningful yardstick, not in our lifetime or in that of our children. Renewables cannot passably meet any of the important needs claimed by their champions, whether economic or environmental. Despite the hundreds of billions of dollars governments have spent over the decades in aid of kick-starting a large-scale renewables industry, wind and solar complexes are generally incapable of helping humanity progress today or in the foreseeable future. Fossil fuels, in contrast, have gone from success to success for several centuries now, with no end in sight.
Actually, I think ALL environmentalists should be forced to register as high-capacity B.S. magazines and forced to live in houses measuring only 200 square feet.
Although I think the right of free speech shouldnt be abridged, no one should be allowed to dish out as much bull as they do and cause as much damage without some control over how quickly they re-load.

They feature primarily European sculpture dating from the Middle Ages to the early twentieth century and one of the world's finest collections of medals and plaquettes, as well as decorative arts, related paintings, and a special display room for rare books. Several galleries and three French period rooms have been renovated, and seventeen new galleries have been designed to relate to the neoclassical spaces on the West Building's upper floor by architect John Russell Pope. Maximum use is made of natural light, allowing visitors to see many of the sculptures clearly in large spacious galleries.
Highlights of works include the bejeweled twelfth-century Chalice of the Abbot Suger of Saint-Denis; Leone Battista Alberti's bronze relief Self-Portrait, c. 1435; a distinguished group of Italian Renaissance bronze statuettes; Honoré Daumier's entire bronze sculptural oeuvre, including all thirty-six of his caricatured portrait busts of French government officials; a selection of sculptures made by Auguste Rodin for his American patrons, among them his life-size plaster, The Age of Bronze, modeled in 1875–1876 and cast in 1898 (also represented in the collection by a bronze reduction cast in 1903–1904); two-thirds of the original wax and mixed-media sculptures by Edgar Degas; and rare European sculptors' reference books dating from the sixteenth century.
Sponsor: The sculpture galleries renovation project was supported in part by a generous grant from the Richard King Mellon Foundation in honor of Paul Mellon.
Passes: Admission is always free and passes are not required.

CLEMSON – So what do you think of the all-purple jerseys?
It wasn't announced during the week, but the Clemson football team will honor Purple Out Saturday by wearing purple jerseys on top of purple pants in today's game against The Citadel.
This is the first time the Tigers have gone purple-on-purple since a 2009 game at Georgia Tech.
Today is all about Military Appreciation Day. Wide receiver Daniel Rodriguez, who has not yet scored a touchdown in his two-year Clemson career, was a Purple Heart recipient from his service in the U.S. Army.
Kickoff is set for 12:04 p.m.

"Color of this card complemented the tones of our family photo -which was pretty casual. Impressed by paper quality. Photo reproduced very close to our digital version"
"We had a caricature artist at our daughter's Sweet 16 party and he did a family "portrait." It was so amazing that we decided to use it as this year's Christmas card. Hopefully it will bring a smile (or even a giggle) to all who see it. Sometimes that is just what we need as the holidays can bring on some added stress and pressure."
"The colors reflected the season but in a sophisticated yet whimiscal way. I was looking for colors that would compliment my photo."
"I can't begin to say how impressed I was with this card & with the fast service & how well they were packaged! The card cost a little more than box retail stores but it was well worth it. They are sturdy & have more of a feel of an actual card than just a photo. The colors were perfect & looked just like they did on my computer. Thank you for a positive experience! I will shop here again!"

I am 11 weeks pregnant (3rd pregnancy) and was diagnosed 4 days ago with a very large fibriod tumor in my uterus. It is 4 times the size of the baby. I have found little information on the internet that has allowed me to be at ease about this new developement. My OB/GYN (who is high risk) has said we will just watch and wait. (which I understand is all that really can be done). My first pregancy ended in a C-section with a breech baby and I will have a C-section with this pregancy. I just can't get the fear of misscariage out of my mind. My second pregnancy ended at 9weeks with a miscarriage that was not diagnosable. We know that this fibriod is pretty large, and I am wondering what my real challenges will be. Any advice and information is welcome.
Pregnant with big fibriod
Hi, I'm from the May 09 board and found this post from the search page. I have a big fibroid also (an 18 wk mass at 4 wks) and my doctor said the same thing about wait and see. I'm like "Wait until I'm 6 months and see a bigger fibroid?!" But I understand there's really nothing they can do which is super frustrating.
I sent you a note that you should have on your home page that has some more of the details - I'd love to keep in touch with you about this!
Hi! It is amazing how hearing from just one other other person makes you worry less! It seems like your fibriod is much larger than mine was at the start! I did find out that they can get smaller, and that they occur in almost 10% of women while pregnant. They often seem to cause little problem until the last trimester, and then the issues are preterm labor (although I could not find out why, maybe size), and c-section birth due to blocked birth passage. There are other risks, but they really are not very much higher than normal pregnancy. Gonna check the other post from you now.
Hi Ladies,
Well, I'm 26 weeks pregnant and have a large fibroid. I was told from the beginning that there is no danger to the baby and everything has been going extremely well so far.
Just over the past two weeks I've started to experience a little pain in my abdomen after a full meal. Just found out it is the fibroid getting irritated if my stomach (or bowels - great) are full. There isn't much to be done except for me to eat really small portions and keep things moving down there.
I was also told about the possibilites of pre-term labor, but it didn't seem dire at all. And the best news is that they can get bigger, but then kind of "die off" - the blood gets cut off and they then can just dissipate.
For now, don't panic, but if you experience some pain, just let the doctors know so they can do another ultrasound to check it out.
Hi ladies! I just wanted to write & let you know I have a 9cm x 9cm fibroid that we found when I got pregnant in September 08. I think the fibroid grew a little throughout my pregnancy, but not a lot. it was pretty big to begin with. I think the location of the fibroid has a lot to do with whether there will be complications. Mine is at the top of my uterus in the wall. Luckily, I had no problems whatsoever related to the fibroid during my pregnancy. I delivered a healthy baby girl at 39wks & 5 days in June this year. I was actually induced because I was having minor discomfort at the top of my tummy (from the fibroid?? probably) so my doc said let's go for it (plus, she was leaving town the next day & i wanted her to deliver my baby). Anyway, just wanted to let you know I used to be in a Fibroid group on the old BBC & I read about lots of women that went on to have extrememly normal, healthy pregnancies even though they had a fibroid or fibroids, big & small. I know it's hard not to worry, but just get to the doctor if you notice something's not right.
Also, I'm debating on whether or not to get mine removed (I'm only 24 & I want to have more kids). My doctors seem to think we should just leave it alone since it didn't cause any problems during my pregnancy, but I hate knowing it's in there. The risks of surgery scare me though. I don't want to have a miscarriage in order to realize I need to have it removed. Any thoughts?
*Wife to Jason (6/1/07)*
*Mommy to Raegen (6/3/08)* *Mommy to�Caleb (7/23/10)*
skibum - you eased my mind so much! Thank you My fibroid is in the exact same place as yours.
I have noticed that I am really uncomfortable if I eat too much too quickly, I hadn't thought about the fibroid.
Skibum - has you doctor done any kind of hormonal therapy to get rid of yours? I'm so nowhere near the point of "What to do with it" but from what I've read, I think birth control pills and other hormonal therapies are pretty common?
All I'll say is I would rather not have another pregnancy like this one, your young and have time to heal from surgery before having another baby. But your docs don't think it's necessary so I know it's tough.
ADDY - what was the name of the medication you were on? How long were you on it, and did it work? I'd love to know more!!
I was wondering, too, about having the fibroids removed during the c/s and had read that it's often not done because of the blood loss.
You gals that have had these in previous pregnancies - did they shrink after birth? It seems like they would if your hormones change so rapidly.
Thanks! I'm glad we have this board
Hi Ladies,
Sorry I have been out for a few days. The all day morning sickness is killing me. I am SO glad that so many of you found this board and have written in. I don't have much new to add except I did my 13 week blood/sonogram check this week and it is the first time that my doctor didn't actually perform the sonogram and one of her nurses (who performed the sonogram and was wonderful) actually told me that she was not able to give me any info on the size or change, just that it was still there and I will have to chat with the doctor. Lovely, my next drs visit isn't for 2 weeks.
I have tried to do some additional research and I have found that in cases like Addy's there are actually drugs that can be given during the second and third trimesters to actually shrink these bad boy fibriods, but it seems that the drugs are not used much unless the baby is suffering because of growth. Also I have read that those of us that have these fibriods that seem to be growing, they often slow down as our estrogen levels start to normal out during the second and the third trimesters. (again also found it on the web, so take it for what it's worth, but ask your doc!) My doctor did say that fibriods are not removed after birth due to blood loss and other issues. They often reduce in size from 2 to 6 months post partem. I am really interested to hear what others doctors have said about this.
I would love everyone to post info as you get it from yout doctor, even if it doesn't fit all of us. The info that I have read from you guys really helps me, even if it doesn't really pertain to me because I feel like I know a little more. I am frustrated that there is not more info on this, but it sounds like we are all getting really good medical care and at least we can each ask our doctor about some of the info that we all post here.
Thank you so much to all of you that posted to tell us that you had these problems and all is well with you. I need those refreshing changes in my day. And Addy, I can't even imagine where you are in your mental managment of this right now, but just know that my prayers are with you, and all the other ladies. Margaret thank you for the questions. I hope you all are feeling weel other than the worries. Have a great night all., and honestly thank you all for taking time to share.
Hello Ladies,
FI 05 Mommy, thank you for starting this post. I was a bit reluctant to post as my issue seems more intense at the moment and I truly do NOT want to alarm any of you. However, my husband and I are so worried.
I am 22 weeks pregnant with my first child. I have 2 large fibroids on the lower portion of my uterus that seem to have fused together and measure approx 17cm at their widest. I woke up yesterday morning and had light spotting, mucus with a pinkish/reddish tint to it..but absolutely no cramping. I freaked, woke up my husband, called the doc and we were on our way to the doc's office.
They did an ultrasound and said everything seemed ok. While at the doc, they attempted to go intravaginally to view my cervix and the fibroid(s) are so large that they were not allowing visualization of the cervix via their ultrasound machine.
So, they sent us to a local hospital where I normally get all my ultrasounds done. I get an ultrasound every 4 weeks to check the baby and check the growth of the fibroid. While there, they also decided that an intravaginal untrasound would not show anything because of the fibroids. So, the doc and technicians looked at everything from the probe on top of my belly.
FINALLY, they say the cervix! The fibroids are sitting partially on the placenta and the cervix is sittling on top of the fibroids. So, it appears the cervix is quite elongated, about twice it's normal length. The doc said this was good, as this is better than it being shortened. he did express some concern about placenta separation due to the fibroid sitting on top of it. Also, he re-iterated that a vaginal delivery was mostlikely out of the question. The fibroids are blocking the path.
He also said that there appears to be nothing he could see via ultrasound that would be causing the heavy mucus and pink/red spotting! He did however say that pressure form the fibroids could be bursting the capillaries/blood vessels at the outer end of the Cervix, thus causing the spotting. He and my regular OB said that it could also be a bladder infection. I have been getting up to urinate more, but I chalked it up to being pregnant. I have had 2 bladder infections during this pregnancy already, so I can see that it is totally possible. With that sais, neither of the 2 previous infections gave me this over abundance of mucus and spotting!
Yesterday during the day, the mucus secretions and spotting stopped. We were releived! Then lastnight right before bed, it started again! I got up to urinate througout the night and I saw no spotting. This morning I get up, make breakfast and go to the bathroom. And there it is again! Not as much as yesterday morning, but I still see it. I also saw some thicker, almost snot-like consistency, brownish mucus.
I guess my question is, have any of you experienced this or know of anyone else who has? Theinternet is a great resource, but we have foundnothing other than it could be nothing mcuh but ""normal vaginal secretions during pregnancy" to "your mucus plug coming out...but it will regenerate" to "signs of a possible miscarriage".
Please, if any of you know anything about this, I would appreciate your help.
Thank you all!
GT22809 - I hope you are better now! What a scare, I'm so sorry. It sounds like it is getting a little better, right? Did they give you anything for a bladder infection?
A lot of the girls in my main group (May 09) have been having vaginal u/s and they all seem to have thick (they described it as cottage cheese) mucus afterward. If your cervix is irritated or little capillaries are breaking, I'd say that's why the thick discharge is brownish. It's red or pink that you really get scared of, brown is just old news.
Then again, I'm not a doctor and I haven't been in your shoes - but that's how I hope I'd be able to look at it (after being totally freaked out!).
Let us know how you are doing, OK?

Doctor and the Medics are an English glam rock band formed in London in 1981.[1] The group received their great success during the 1980s and are best known for their cover of Norman Greenbaum's "Spirit in the Sky", the groups hit single which reached No. 1 in the UK singles charts.[2] The band currently performs, with a different line-up, as a tribute act to various artists. The group's musical style includes neo-psychedelia, glam rock, new wave and pop rock.[3][4][5][6]
The Doctor (Clive Jackson, born 7 July 1961 in Knotty Ash, Liverpool),[7] a former London-based DJ, formed the group with guitarist Steve McGuire, drummer Vom (aka Steve Ritchie), and bassist Richard Searle and female dancers and singers The Anadin Brothers in 1981.[1] The group adopted a look inspired by both 1960s psychedelia and kabuki make-up similar to that of Kiss.
Their first single was "The Druids Are Here" which was released on Whaam Records in 1982.[8] They released no further records until 1985, although a four track EP recorded live at Alice in Wonderland, a Soho nightclub where The Doctor was house DJ, was available direct from the band. The band's female backing singers were known collectively as The Anadin Brothers.[8] Originally there were three Anadin Brothers, but this was soon whittled down to Wendi West and Colette Appleby.
In 1985, they signed to IRS Records and released "Happy but Twisted", a five track 12" EP including a cover of Hawkwind's "Silver Machine".[9] This reached number 2 on the indie charts.[10] This was followed by "The Miracle of the Age", produced by Andy Partridge of XTC.[11] Around this time the band performed a concert in a television studio in Limehouse, London which was recorded for television broadcast, although it was not shown at the time. At this concert the line-up was augmented by Roman Jugg of The Damned on keyboards and second guitar.
They scored an international hit in 1986 with their next single, a cover of Norman Greenbaum's "Spirit in the Sky". The single reached number one in the UK.[12] They fared less well with subsequent singles; "Burn" and "Waterloo" (the latter of which was a cover of the ABBA hit, with Roy Wood on saxophone, backing vocals and in the video). "Burn" reached No. 29 in the UK Singles Chart and "Waterloo" peaked at No. 45.[8]
The band released their final studio album Instant Heaven, in 1996 on their own 'Madman' record label.[1]
In the early 2000s, the band's current line-up appeared on retro-themed British TV shows such as ITV1's Hit Me Baby One More Time, and a Top of the Pops Christmas special celebrating 50 years of the UK Singles Chart. In June 2006, the band appeared on Channel 4's Bring Back One Hit Wonders with a new line-up.[13] Around this time they released an EP called Timewarped.[14] They continue to perform live.[7]

How to Get in Shape for Skiing & Snowboarding
evo Size & Buying Guides
- We have one of the largest selections of
equipment on the web, a super
knowledgable staff
and expert guides to help you make an informed decision.
DISCLAIMER: We hope that this does not come as a surprise to you, but you should be in good physical condition to participate in these exercises. evo is not a licensed medical care provider and represents that it has no expertise in diagnosing, examining, or treating medical conditions of any kind, or in determining the effect of any specific exercise on a medical condition. Consult with your physician if you are unsure. You should understand that when participating in any exercise or exercise program, there is the possibility of physical injury. If you engage in any of these exercises, you agree that you do so at your own risk, are voluntarily participating in these activities, assume all risk of injury to yourself, and agree to release and discharge evo from any and all claims or causes of action, known or unknown, arising out of evo's negligence.
You just got your fresh new pair of skis mounted with five coats of hot wax and your boots are molded and ready to rock, but are you? Don't forget, the most important part of being able to charge hard all day and stomp landings with the least risk of injury is your physical condition. Correct form in skiing and snowboarding (or any sport for that matter) is crucial to staying injury free and maximizing the efficiency of your movements on hill. You fatigue throughout the day and your form deteriorates, leaving your legs feeling out of control and sloppy. You've probably experienced that close call before quitting for the day, where you couldn't muster the leg strength to get your sticks or your board pointed in the right direction fast enough. Pre-season training will also decrease the soreness and sluggishness you get on your first day back on the slopes.
When talking about strength and training in the context of skiing and snowboarding, it is important to put emphasis on functional movement and strength. In reality, the best training for skiing is skiing itself. However, exercises that mimic rapid shifts in terrain, and shifts in your body's center of gravity relative to the slope, will be effective in preparing your cardiovascular and muscle systems ready for the shred to come.
These are only recommended workouts. Always listen to your body and don't do anything that hurts or over-exerts yourself.
The key areas of physical fitness that will pay dividends on the slopes are:
Strength and Power
Whether before a workout or before a day of shred, paying time to work on your flexibility is important if you plan to stay mobile and active all winter (or in general). One of the best options for flexibility is yoga (which we highly recommend, haters be damned). Dynamic warm-ups before workouts and stretching after workouts are crucial if you want to recover faster and stay on the hill all winter long without injury.
Bikram Yoga Warm-Up:
10 Deep Breaths: With fingers crossed under your chin, exhale out bringing the elbows together and pushing the head back. Take a deep breath in as your elbows go up, chin comes down, and stomach gets sucked in. And repeat.
Side Bend: Cross your fingers, point, and reach your arms straight up. Bend your arms and upper body far from side to side while pushing your hips out to the other side, all while maintaining a flat plane with your body.
Side Bend
Back Bend: With arms still pointed straight up, look behind you and lean back while pushing your hips forward. Come back and bend your body all the way forward, touching your hands to the ground. With knees bent, alternate stretching out your hamstrings.
Back Bend
Deep Stretch: Crouch down and place your hands under the back of each heel so you are standing on them. Bend forward, hug your face to your knees, and slowly work towards straightening your legs out while pulling with your hands.
Other Warm-Up Examples:
High knee walk/skip/run
Straight-leg walk/skip/deadlift walk
Backward run
Backward/forward lunge walks
Hamstring stretch
Lateral lunge
Mountain Climbers
Jumping jack/seal jack/ski jack
High Knee Walk
Hamstring Stretch
Mountain Climbers
Post Workout Stretch Routine:
Lunge: Hold for 60 seconds.
Lizard: From a lunge, turn your foot out, drop the back leg, and put your arms out on the floor. Hold for 60 seconds.
Triangle: From Lizard, straighten the front leg, drop the back heel, and bring your head down to your knee with your hands on the floor.
Twist: Lift your upper body up and put your opposite hand outside your foot. Twist and point your other hand straight up into the air. Switch sides.
Head to Knee: Straighten out and bend your head down to your knee again with hands on the floor. Switch sides.
Downward Dog: Bring both legs back and extend your butt into the air, making a triangle with your body.
Deep Stretch: Walk your hands towards your feet, try to get your hands under your feet, and hold.
Aerobic Base
Aerobic endurance allows you to sustain physical performance for sustained periods of time. In boiled down tech-talk, aerobic endurance maximizes your body's ability to consume and distribute oxygen to your muscles efficiently. While anaerobic exercises don't improve the power of our bio-mechanics, or the ability for us to put out more work over the shortest period of time, they do allow us to stay on the hill without getting burnt out before lunch.
Some basic examples of aerobic exercises are running, cycling, hiking, swimming, and jump rope. Performing any of these exercises for 30-60 minutes, 3-5 times per week will do a lot for your aerobic base.
Jump Rope
Anaerobic Endurance
In "sciency speak" anaerobic endurance is your muscles' ability to function in the absence of oxygen. In anaerobic metabolism, lactic acid builds up in your muscles. This mechanism causes that "burning" sensation you get in your thighs mid run. Anaerobic exercises improve your body's ability to process the build up of lactic acid, allowing you to send it for longer and harder. Many anaerobic workouts involve High Intensity Interval Training (HIIT), with periods of intense effort followed by rest periods and then by intense efforts again for a number of repetitions. One example of an anaerobic workout is Fartlek training, which is Norwegian for speed play training.
Try this one for size. On a 2-4 mile run, perform 1-3 (depending on fitness level) of the following 10-minute strength intervals:
1 minute of burpees
30 seconds of easy jog
2 minutes of burpees
1 minute of easy jog
3 minutes of burpees
1.5 minutes easy jog
These workouts are usually pretty intense, but pay dividends on the slopes.
Strength and Power
Let's face it, not all of us are blessed with the Champagne Powder of Steamboat or Cold Smoke of Bridger Bowl. Strength workouts improve your ability to bust crud and keep your skis pointed the direction you want in the thickest and dampest of Pacific Northwest Pow.
Some basic examples of strength and power workouts are:
Squats (weighted or unweighted)
Box jumps
Lateral Side Jumps (these closely mimic a skier movement laterally across a slope)
Medicine ball throws
Box Jump
Medicine Ball
Another workout to use in the gym regularly is (a treadmill helps with pacing) Dynamic Stretching followed by 1-mile warm-up run @ 7:30 pace followed by 1-3 sets of the following intervals:
10 Burpees
15 Bodyweight Squats
400 Meter Run at 9 mph
14 (7 a side) 25 lb. T-Push Up: Lift one are into the air after each push up.
8 Pull Ups
400 Meter Run at 9 mph
10 15 lb. Medicine Ball Throws
20 Lateral Side Jumps (10 a side)
400 Meter Run at 9 mph
While getting at it outdoors is the favored choice for staying fit throughout the summer and into ski season (and just getting stoked on life in general), performing aerobic, anaerobic, and strength and power workouts in the pre-season can do wonders for your performance on hill.

About us
Just wanted to say a massive thank you to everyone at Cooper Associates.
Without your help and support this move would have not taken place and Jane and I are extremely grateful.
Can you please pass on out best wishes to everyone and if we can in some way try to replay what you have done for us, then we will of course recommend you to as many people as we know.
If the effort and care that you team provided was not enough, you go the extra mile by sending us the most perfect of moving in gifts as well.
Thank you so much and we wish you all the very best, please have a great Christmas and a prosperous New Year
December 2015
We would like to thank all the staff at Cooper Associates who not only arranged our mortgage for us, but supported us with their professional advice through a very stressful and difficult period. Nothing was ever too much trouble, and their friendly approach meant that our concerns were dealt with quickly, reassuring us that we were in good hands.
There are a couple of people though we would like to thank personally. Thanks to Christopher Chedzoy for dealing with our application and overseeing the whole process, we really appreciate your personal service. We also have to say a special thank you to his colleague Katherine Stone without whom we would not have completed our purchase in time. Her professional manner and clam approach made all the difference – she was so kind and helpful every step of the way, and certainly went that "extra mile" for us!
We would definitely use Cooper Associates in the future and can highly recommend their services to anyone needing financial advice.
November 2015
We dealt with Steve and Michaela originally last year whilst buying our first home and now just completed a re-mortgage today on the same property. They have both been fantastic in every dealing we have had with them! The service they provide is personal, friendly and professional. I can always get an answer when needed and no question is too daft to ask!
They are truly great assets to your business and I will be recommending cooper associates to anyone who asks!
October 2015
I would just like to take the opportunity to thank Christopher Chedzoy and his team for the help he gave my wife and I on our remortgage.
I didn't know where to start but I left an email message on your website and Chris contacted me less than an hour later.
He came to our house at a convenient time and went through all our options in a very professional and knowledgeable manner. Chris then returned after he had achieved the remortgage details and filled in the forms with us.
We completed our mortgage yesterday and I have to say I am amazed how well I have been treated as Chris or his colleagues have kept me fully informed of what's going on every step of the way. I always felt confident I was in good hands.
Christopher is a credit to your company and I look forward to using Cooper Associates again in the future.
You can rest assured I will recommend yourselves to my family and friends should they be in the need of any financial advice.
September 2015
I use Samantha for my mortgage requirements. Her advice is always excellent and she pays great attention to detail. She is very easy to communicate with whether I am based at home or abroad which is invaluable. I have total trust in Samantha looking after my personal finances.
September 2015
I just wanted to drop you an email – we have completed on our house today.
When I first met with Tom to see if we could even obtain a mortgage, bearing in mind our circumstances, I thought the chances were pretty slim to say the least. However, it was really refreshing to sit face to face with someone that didn't just punch the figures into a computer and I genuinely felt reassured that our situation was not too far from the norm.
I have been through the mortgage process in the past four times now; it was faultless, very simple and quick. I was always kept in the loop with what was going on and I know Katherine and Kelly were always on the case making sure everything was still running smoothly.
August 2015
Samantha Cooper is fantastic! Cant praise her highly enough. Sam has been dealing with our finances (Mortgages& Insurance) for a number of years. Extremely professional and highly efficient. From the initial telephone enquiry to the face to face meeting, on-going advice, application forms through to securing the end product. Fast yet thorough
Jack, thanks for your help with everything. I can honestly say that you are far easier to work with than any of the other financial advisors we have spoken with and we have really appreciated your honest and professional approach.
Jack helped us enormously during our hunt for our first home. Nothing was too much trouble for him and he pointed us in the right direction at every stage. What we assumed would be a daunting and complicated process was made simple for us. Jack advised us calmly and simply, gave us all the options and made us aware of the positives and negatives to each. The home visits made the process so simple for us and Jack's friendly approach made every meeting a pleasure. He also advised us on who to approach in third-party organisations (e.g. solicitor) and we were delighted to find that each person Jack put us in contact with was as helpful as he was.
We are now nearly 6 months into living in our first home and could not have wished for a better advisor or outcome. Jack was on hand to answer whatever daft questions we threw his way regardless of whether he was in the office or not (no matter how much I told him not to reply while on holiday).
I can't see us going to any other advisor when it comes to remortgaging or for any other financial decisions that need making and have recommended Jack's service to any friends or family that require advice.
July 2015
We have worked with Cooper Associates for a number of years and in particular, with Steve Woodbridge. We have found Steve to be thoroughly professional in his approach, always with a great sense of humour and a relaxed listening style that makes working with him a great deal of pleasure. Steve has always been proactive in dealing with our requests for explanation and information and has always worked in our best interests to recommend the most effective course of action for us. If you are looking for effective, sound advice look no further than Steve and Cooper Associates.
My partner and I recently bought a house with assistance from Cooper Associates and we are so happy at the way we were treated by Samantha and Katherine. They were both very helpful and always gave us the best of their knowledge. We will definitely be recommending them and also using them again in the future.
June 2015
Several years ago I was given a personal recommendation to Carl Gazzard and Cooper Associates in relation to their mortgage services. Since that initial contact, I have now utilised Carl's in-depth industry knowledge on no less than seven occasions to secure property financing. Carl and the team at Cooper Associates have never failed to impress me with their speed and attention to detail in what can often be a frustrating process. I would have no hesitation in recommending Cooper Associates for any type of financial matter and in fact have done so on many occasions to friends, family and business contacts.
The service provided by Jason Challis at Cooper Associates was second to none. The advice provided was excellent and nothing seemed as though it was too much trouble. We would not hesitate to recommend Jason to anyone and are extremely grateful for the professional service received.
April 2015
I have recently renewed my mortgage with Cooper Associates and just wanted to say how happy I was with Chris. We had a very smooth transition and feel the recommendations given met our needs exactly. My partner and I were rather unsure as to which option within the market would be best for us. Chris's expert knowledge offered us reassurance and confidence. We are very grateful for the time he spent with us and will definitely be looking to use your services again in the future.
Robert has been instrumental in helping our family with a wide range of personal finance issues – from purchasing a new property whilst coordinating remortgages on existing ones, to arranging suitable life insurances. Without his help, there is no way we would have secured the rates and cover we have. On a personal level, he is a pleasure to deal with, always professional, flexible and extremely responsive.
With this card comes a whole heap of thanks and gratitude regarding the application of my mortgage and the purchase of my new home. The process was made to seem so simple and trouble free. Had it not been for your help I'm sure it would have been a lot different.
Thank you again and I'll be sure to use you for any future financial related aspirations I may have.
March 2015
I approached Cooper Associates in 2008 initially on a friend's recommendation to help me decide on the remortgaging of a rental property I own. The advice I received was very knowledgeable, independent, accessible and was delivered in a very short time frame in a manner that presented me with the options rather than the 'hard- sale'. I was very impressed with the service provided and have used their expertise ever since. I would recommend Cooper Associates to anyone searching for professional, friendly and impartial advice on any financial matter.
Just a quick thank you to all the dedicated staff at Cooper Associates.
This was my first time dealing with the firm. I saw countless advisors looking for the perfect product but my advisor within Cooper Associates found it within hours of our first meeting.
I was left feeling completely satisfied by the whole experience from beginning to end, including getting a mortgage offer within 7 working days and being informed at each individual milestone during the transaction, taking all the stress away and enabling me to enjoy the finer points of purchasing property.
I would recommend Cooper Associates to anyone!
November 2014
When all the high street mortgage doors had been slammed in our faces, we approached Cooper Associates for some independent advice, and wished this was what we had done from the start! Our advisor took us into his office on the Monday and patiently listened to our needs and the frustration we'd been facing as first time buyers. He took the time to actually listen and believed that he could help us. After lots of hard work on his part, we got the call on the Tuesday that we'd been waiting for – a Decision in Principle – and rather interestingly, from one of the high street lenders that had previously said no? We viewed some houses on the Wednesday, put in an offer on the one we wanted on the Thursday, and had it accepted on the Friday! Thanks totally to Cooper Associates, we'd bought our dream house within 5 days – after previously trying for 5 months! We can't thank Cooper Associates enough for their support, compassion, understanding and professionalism – Independent advice is now the way we will deal with all our future financial needs.
October 2014
During the relatively short period that Cooper Associates supported my needs I was significantly impressed with the level of attention to detail and time spent on following up all my issues. The service provided was professional and highly supportive; no query was too small to tackle. The whole team were responsive to any issue which cropped up and were timely in their approach.
September 2014
We were recommended to Cooper Associates by my brother-in-law and I can't speak highly enough of their professional approach, knowledge and desire to get us a mortgage secured.
Myself and my partner were particularly impressed with their 'out of hours' help. On one occasion we were actually asking questions over the phone at around 10 pm!
It is this kind of effort that means we would have no hesitation in recommending Cooper Associates. In fact since dealing with Cooper Associates, my business Lifestyle Property Services, now recommend Cooper Associates to all our clients.
We expect a long and fruitful relationship now between the two companies.
August 2014
When we were looking to move from our previous property, we were naturally nervous about what we could afford and difficulty in getting into the area of choice. Cooper Associates were absolutely fantastic from start to finish, offering a personal touch with a bullish drive to succeed in our goal. To see such ambition to do the best for someone in such a difficult market shows Cooper Associates' never-say-die attitude to be successful. When we move again one day, Cooper Associates are assured of our business in the first instance.

This is quickly becoming the year of the freshman. The women's ranks have seen an influx of high-scoring forwards, led by Sarah Hagen of Wisconsin-Milwaukee, who leads all freshmen with 11 goals.
Hagen scored her 11th goal in 11 games in a 2-1 win over Northwestern Wednesday evening at Engelmann Field -- the Panthers' third win over a Big Ten team this fall.
Hagen's decisive score came shortly before halftime when she took a touch before blasting a left-footed shot from 25 yards far post and into the upper 90.
"That was her left foot," Wisconsin-Milwaukee coach Michael Moynihan said. "She's right-footed. It's downright scary how hard she can hit the ball. We see it all the time in practice. It's good to see her do it in games."
Freshman Makenzie Gillaspie's first collegiate goal had given UWM the lead. Alicia Herczeg tallied Northwestern's only goal of the game in the 88th minute to help the Wildcats (5-3-1) avoid the shutout.

Apple may be getting ready to present a revamped MacBook Air at next year's Worldwide Developers Conference, according to Taiwanese publication Economic Daily News.
The source reported on Monday that the company is working with suppliers on an all-new MacBook Air series due to launch at next year's WWDC.
The new MacBook Air is rumored to be slimmer and available in 13-inch and 15-inch sizes, but it wasn't said if an 11-inch model will also be included. The slimmer design will be enabled by "fully redesigned" internal components across the board.
Inside, the 2016 MacBook Air will be equipped with new battery packs, cooling modules, panels and more into a revamped metal chassis.
The company's notebook lineup expanded earlier this year with the addition of the new MacBook, an ultrathin device carrying a 12-inch Retina display and utilizing ultra low voltage Intel chips for a fanless design.
While a reshuffled MacBook Air lineup is a possibility, today's reports hint more on a long-awaited MacBook Pro refresh. Apple's top-of-the-line MacBook Pro laptops are currently available in 13- and 15-inch flavors and are due for a redesign.
If the rumor is true, the company would be selling one 12-inch laptop, three 13-inch devices — iPad Pro, MacBook Air and MacBook Pro — and two 15-inch models.

Across Washington, lobbyists have been working behind the scenes now for months to prepare for the possible power shift after the November election. The NYT reports.
