Skip to comments.Transgender at Age 6: Family Embraces Decision to Let Daughter Live as Boy
Posted on 07/13/2013 8:40:15 PM PDT by Morgana
The Washington Post reports that a Maryland couple has no regrets about a decision they made to allow their 5-year-old daughter to live as a boy. Now 6, Tyler (formerly known as Kathryn) has been living as a boy after his family made a public switch 18 months ago when Kathryn insisted she was really a boy. A psychiatrist told the family that the switch would be healthy if they allowed Kathryn to pick a boy's name and if they were to able find a kindergarten that would allow them to enroll the child as a boy. Tyler's mother said "It's not a phase. Anyone who meets him says, 'Yeah, that's a boy.'"
According to the report, the transition has been somewhat seamless:
Whenever the family watches television, Tyler roots for the boy characters.
His home looks like a house with a son. Karate gear, soccer balls, cars, trucks and pirate swords abound. At school, he's a boy. Plain and simple.
(Excerpt) Read more at breitbart.com ...
Jeez, you'd think they'd at least minimize the disruption and make Kathryn be Kevin or something. :)
Judgement Day is going to be a real hoot for those so called parents.
If a mother allows her son to be raised in dresses, she is advancing her sick and twisted ideology.
I hate saying this, but I'm pretty sure this isn't an isolated incident. Weren't there a few of these stories popping up recently?
My 5-year old daughter insists she is a velociraptor or t-rex, depending on the day. Guess I should just let her be what she says she is.
Mine was a kitty... Good thing transspecieing is not yet an optional.
It would be better for them to be thrown into the sea with a millstone tied around their neck than to cause one of these little ones to stumble.
These people need to grow up and be parents. Good grief!
Because a 5 year old knows best, right?
One of my children behaved like a dinosaur at that age, too.
I guess we should help our children get in touch with their inner dinosaur (or kitten) because, obviously, they are just dinosaurs (and kittens) born with the wrong bodies. I mean, if the child believes it is so, it must be so. *
* (Just illustrating the thought process of parents like the ones in this article.)
You do realize that until Churchill's time... little boys wore dresses until age 3-4... and ribbons in their hair.
Had nothing to do with sex at all, children and babies were seen as pretty and angelic. Think about why baptismal gowns are unisex.
And...I'm pretty sure Churchill would have happily explained it had no effect on his manhood.
One of my daughters said she was a purple cow at one point. Her brother (2 years older) has never let her forget it. They're both in their 40s now.
Good thing we didn't have to paint her purple and send her to school with a cowbell around her neck!
Subtitle: A family where the child runs the parents
It's an illness and perversion which is spreading. Parents are destroying their children.
Placemark for pingout.
Becase these days, parents want to be BFFs instead of parents.
Copycat crazies. Munchausen's Syndrome by Proxy.
It had to do with the masses of padding required before waterproof diapering products were developed. Little boys got to wear pants when they were toilet-trained.
Maybe next week she will want to be a unicorn pony.
Dennis Prager brought up how we are told that young people support same sex marriage. Because 20 year olds know everything, right?
The culture that refuses to grow up is letting the Socialists continue to beat the "question authority" drum beat.
Question the authority of those demanding that the establishment be "smashed".
Poor fellow.
Next not only will they want to be unicorn ponies but hospitals will offer surgeries to make it happen.
walkinng around the yard w might be awkward if they were halfway sane..... good news they will not feel awkward
The gowns probably did, although I used clothe diapers with a wool overlay on my son and he could still wear trousers... I'm not so sure the ribbons were just for camo purposes :D

The 1972-P Lincoln Cent is very common up to MS65 condition and can still be found in circulation. Coins grading MS66 or higher can still be found in rolls or mint sets. Examples in MS67 are scarce with less than 100 known. There are also a few known MS67+ graded examples but none in any higher condition.
There were numerous doubled die varieties created this year for the 1972 Lincoln Cent. Only one of them is considered to be the major variety, all others are considered to be minor varieties, even though some are dramatic. Some of the doubled die varieties for this year are also very scarce. For example, the FS-104 Doubled DIe is really scarce with less than a dozen examples known.

I was glad to finally find a set of metric weights that had 1,000 grams. I was having a hard time helping my kids measure with and understand a kilogram. This will make it easier to use our balance scales and for kids to feel and hold what grams versus kilograms feel like.
Bottom Line Yes, I would recommend this to a friend

The Pavlik camp was first told that the governor's blood sugar was low, so he needed to go eat first. Then they were told he'd be there as soon as he was done smoking a cigar.

Running In Place - Page 7
"It was so humbling, and I was almost embarrassed to be running through Giza. The history was so intimidating, and made me feel small and insignificant," says Engle. "The thing that I am most proud of is that we all three finished together— the odds of all three of us making it are incalculable. I felt relieved and validated because we did something that many felt was impossible. And somehow I had been able to convince Matt Damon and James Moll that it was a good idea."
Engle says he is also proud to be a co-founder of H20 Africa, an organization founded to address the dire water crisis on the continent. Running the Sahara raised over $6 million dollars for the cause, and resulted in hundreds of life-saving wells being built in remote areas.
Ironically, Engle's crowning achievement of running across the Sahara Desert is what triggered his labyrinthine legal battle.
Another irony is that Engle's distance running and adventure-racing obsession— and ability to exert a positive, motivating influence on others—was borne of his severe addiction to drugs and alcohol. That period began at the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill, where he enrolled in 1980 as a 17-year-old freshman.
By the time he was a 20-year-old junior, he had flunked out. Engle says he got hooked partying with his fraternity brothers. In the 1980s, cocaine was the ubiquitous campus drug, and he started dealing so he could snort as much as he wanted. Engle quickly developed a classic addict's pattern that would haunt him for 10 years.
"I had what's known in addiction as a series of `geographicals,' which means I moved frequently," says Engle. "If I moved, I would leave all my problems behind." He moved, among other cities, to Seattle; to Carmel, California; to Atlanta; to Greensboro; and Monterey, California. Engle had married Pam in 1987 (they would divorce in 2002), and lived a double life.
"I would move, get a job, even become the best at my job," he says. "I would make money, do all the right things, then I would fuck it up completely. Of course, it was always somebody else's fault. As a committed addict I always found a way to blame somebody else for my problems." He usually worked in sales, including for Bally Total Fitness and Toyota, where he become the top salesman in the country.
Starting in the late 1980s, he began his hailstorm car-repair career. "It was the perfect business for an addict," he says. "I traveled all time, made good money and had complete freedom."
Even through regular multi-day binges, Engle says running remained in his life. "When I would get sick and tired enough of myself and my destructive behavior, I would put on the running shoes again. Running would take the place of my drug addiction."
Being a competent natural runner, Engle was able to clean up for two or three months, when he would run and lift and obsess on training. "I am blessed with enough of an ego that goes along with my addiction to every once in a while look in mirror and say, `Holy shit, you look terrible.'" In 1989, at 27, Engle ran the Napa Valley Marathon, where he qualified for Boston, which he ran 30 days later. A week later, he ran the Big Sur Marathon.
"The problem was that I was so spiritually and emotionally empty as a human being that, for example, when I finished Big Sur, I felt nothing, no joy, no satisfaction," says Engle. "Two days later, I was back out on a week-long binge. No matter what I was doing, all my behavior was as an addict. Everything was all out, all the time, 100 percent. I couldn't do anything in a healthy way."

text: Ron Guth: Dealer Mike Aron relates the following story about 1890-CC Dollars: "It was late 1976 or early 1977 when Nick Buzolich, Jr. made one of his visits to see me at A-Mark Coin Co. (Beverly Hills, CA). Jim Leeuw and I were looking over a bag of 1,000 PL and what is now DMPL 1890CC dollars. At first, Jim told him they were not for sale yet. But after some serious negotiation (and a little begging) from Nick, we sold him three or four rolls at about $175 per coin. He would continue to come in about once a week and buy many more rolls from this amazing bag of Redfield Morgan dollars!"

It is almost painful to watch supposedly bright politicians stumble into the bog of misinformed, misogynistic statements about rape and pregnancy.
It is an issue that comes up whenever the government looks at abortion legislation. Many conservative politicians would ban all abortions, while many others would allow abortions for pregnancies resulting from rape or incest.
In the 2012 elections, Rep. Todd Akin, a Republican Senate candidate, famously kicked himself in the shins when he stated in a debate that "legitimate" rapes don't result in pregnancy, that the female body somehow shuts that possibility down. He was roundly denounced for that, but it didn't deter Indiana State Treasurer and Senate nominee Richard Mourdock from saying pregnancy resulting from rape may be "something God intended."
This week, in a debate before the U.S. House Judiciary Committee, Rep. Trent Franks said that statistically, rape rarely results in pregnancy. His bill to ban abortions after 20 weeks of pregnancy except when the mother's life was threatened, was under discussion, and he was arguing against an amendment to create an exception for pregnancies resulting from rape or incest.
Actually, a study by the Medical University of South Carolina found about five percent of rapes result in pregnancy, a significant number. Many rape victims did not know they were pregnant until the second trimester, when it would be too late under Franks' bill.
This is a volatile enough topic without this kind of misinformation. Politicians should know better than to speak so carelessly.

Government contractors and federal employees square off on the issue of federal staffing
President Barack Obama has raised a ruckus among FCW readers with his proposal to save $900 million in fiscal 2010 by converting 33,500 defense contractor jobs to federal positions (see story, Page 10). As might be expected, contractors and feds see the issue in starkly differently terms. Here is an aggregated summary of each position, with the words and sentiments drawn from reader comments.
President Obama better check his math.
Consider this: As contractors, we work 2,080 hours a year, and the government does not have to pay for benefits, holidays, vacations, breaks with pay, or even lunch. We pay everything out of our pockets. In fact, if you figure in the long-term benefits, many feds actually make more than contractors who have a higher base salary.
Here's another equation the Obama team should study: Government employees with full benefits gets 432 hours off with pay per year. That means you would need to hire more than 40,000 feds to get the same work hours you got from the 33,500 contractors.
But it's not just about the money. I don't think Obama gets what contractors do for the government.
In an ideal world, government workers, as subject-matter experts, would produce as much or more than contractors. But anyone who has worked in the government knows it isn't that way. Contract employees work harder, walk faster and accomplish more than the government workers.
The difference is most apparent in the afternoon. When 3:30 rolls around, feds are gone in a puff of smoke, leaving things until the next day. As a contractor, I usually put in more daily hours than my government counterpart, and no, I don't get paid overtime.
I always hear things like, "It'll be there tomorrow" and "Good enough or close enough for government work." The best one is, "I'm a GS, it'll take an act of Congress to get rid of me." Federal employees seem to get comfortable with the fact that there is almost nothing they can do to get themselves fired, while contractors can be let go at any time. Converting contractor jobs to in-house positions is not the answer to ineffective government. Getting rid of non-performing feds is.
This is a long-overdue initiative to modestly correct the hollowing out of the government workforce.
It's a problem particularly in acquisition and other areas that are close to being inherently governmental. I see wasted direction and effort in some organizations because there are so many contractors making what should be government decisions. I've even seen fighting among in-house contractors looking to increase their company's share!
The idea of mandating limits on the percentage of contractors in the workforce, as some people have suggested, misses the mark. But we could save ourselves a lot of trouble by evaluating which positions should be contracted out and which should be kept in house.
We could also save a lot of money. Contractors who argue they actually cost less over the course of 2,080 hours are misinformed. Contract rates are often one and a half to two and a half times the actual cost of an equivalent government employee. That is one reason why contractors should be used only for work that is short term and highly specialized.
Another reason is that contractors have a high turnover rate, which is a problem especially in work that requires substantial on-the-job training. We feds might be ineffective, incompetent and wasteful, but we still retain the corporate knowledge needed to train the contractors spinning through the revolving door.
Here's one more thing a lot of people fail to realize: As a federal employee, I do things because of loyalty that go way beyond my job description. Contractors, on the other hand, won't move an inch unless it specifically states it in the contract to go an inch. If going 1.5 inches makes things better, well, a whole lot of negotiations have to occur first. Where are the savings there?
Contracting out for some government services has grown out of control. It is time for a reality check.

I find it so ironic that the GS worker in the next cubicle spend her time between patients on the computer surfing the web, instead of helping out around the clinic. The GS workers I know are the ones that won't do anything beyond what is absolutely required of them. They come in at the VERY last possible minute, make sure that evryone knows if they happen to work over into their luch hour, and most definitely take fulol advantage of the "59" minute rule. Heaven help the contractor that walks in 5 minutes late one day out of the YEAR due to traffic....and I'm not joking!
I am a career fed of 27 year and have noticed that the government is full of contractors that have little or no respect for career federal workers that do work hard and have climbed the ranks of the government. In the IT field most of the contractors are non-US residences and I have personally been asked by them 'how can they become Federal Employees once they receive their US citizenship'. They enter the federal force after being a contractor at higher grades not having the organizational knowledge of the federal work place, nor having to climb the ranks from the bottom up. In lots of cases they are hired by ex-contractors. Once retired the individuals will take their US earned pension to their homeland removing the money from the US economy. Contractors' steals Federal Jobs from federal workers who have worked their way up the career ladder; Feds deserve more loyalty from their government employer.
I take offense at the comment the the federal worker works because of a duty beyond what a contract employee has. I am a contract employee and I GET PAID for 40 hours per week, even though I WORK 50+ hours per week. I do this because I am a dedicated employee. I do this because I understand my role in making sure missions are completed on schedule with safety the utmost priority. Shame on your for challenging any person's dedciation to job and country.
My main concern with the hiring of coontractors in IT is that, in many cases, they (potentially) have access to personally identifiable information on thousands of Federal employees. Depending on the department/agency, possible information on National security. These contractors are given access rights equal to actual Federal IT professionals without the assurance of a job tomorrow; in some cases no insurance or any other perks to help keep them honest. Yeah, they're all honest with country and mission first and foremost on their minds. Right. 432 hours off with pay per year? That's almost 11 weeks. Where do you get this garbage?
This whole thing smacks of a straw man argument, an us vs. them created by *politicians*. There isnt a problem to solve here, and the Obama administration has created a false problem to solve: too many contractors!
If the issue is cost, the solution is not to treat people as replacable commodities. One human being does not equal another, so whatever someone is a GS, SES, SLS, Contractor or whatever the only thing that matters is do they get the job done.
We as professionals serving the government need to stand up for our friends in the commercial sector and not let the politicians make them into scapegoats for their poor planning, poor budgeting and all around pandering for votes. We all work hard and we don't need this kind of "us vs. them" nonsense driving us apart.
Shame on this administration.

Coach USA bus accident closes Route 60
Proposed 445 percent tax hike draws crowd
FORESTVILLE – Shocked residents crowded into the Forestville Village Board meeting to question the proposed 445 percent increase to the tax rate.
Newly elected Mayor Kevin Johnson read a statement explaining how the village incurred the $250,000 debt for demolition of a building in 2009 and $150,000 debt for replacement of a waterline on Bennett State Road, as well as the need to replace the fire hall roof at an estimated cost of $46,000.
He said the increase in the tax rate from $5.13 to $27.97 per thousand assessed value is a worst-case scenario and the board has plans to try to mitigate this increase.
He said the village plans to use cash to pay off the $150,000 bond anticipation note, which is now considered in default. He said once the village is no longer in default it can consider borrowing money to replace the roof, but it still must include the $250,000 debt in the 2014-2015 budget as part of litigation with the bank.
He said the board plans to offset the amount it will pay in cash for the waterline debt with the sale of the Arkwright springs property.
"What if your plan doesn't work and people can't pay these taxes? You are assuming that that is the tax levy you are going to get, but what if people don't pay?" resident Randall Feinen asked.
It was explained the county guarantees unpaid taxes and levies them against homeowners, which if not paid can lead to tax foreclosure of homes.
Johnson said he has been in contact with representatives at all levels of government, asking for help and is hopeful the state or county may be able to help residents by increasing the amount of time they have to pay.
"It will be a ghost town," Angelo Bittinger said.
She asked for a guarantee that this would be only a one-year hit.
Attorney Michael Sullivan said the village cannot give one, but the residents' can see that the village has kept regular municipal spending about the same as 2013-14 and there are no other "misidentified" items left on the books.
Another resident asked if this increase will affect residents' state tax rebate for staying under the tax cap. Sullivan said that will not be calculated for villages until the 2015-2016 budget year.
Clerk Jim White said the village has been warned if it does not pay the debts then there is a chance it could lose its waterline project grant and zero interest loan, leaving the village with a $6 million debt.
Resident Laurie Strong asked if anyone is being held responsible for the demolition debt. Johnson said the village is in the process of doing an investigation, but Michael Sullivan said the statute of limitations to hold the owners of the property responsible has expired.
Some residents questioned selling the springs property in the case that the new water source fails. New Trustee Gary Belote explained the village has two wells and one will operate if the other one is offline.
Eileen Eaker and other residents asked if the village can file for bankruptcy. Johnson said the village is not looking to file for bankruptcy or dissolve and the board is trying its best to make the situation better.
"In the end we will do what is best for the village. We will give it our best effort to make this less than the 445 percent," he said.
The board entered into executive session to discuss litigation and personnel. Upon exiting the board authorized White to make a cash transfer of otherwise earmarked funds to pay the $150,000 waterline debt as well as the interest on that debt and the interest on the demolition debt.
The board will meet again on April 22.

Multiple Myeloma
What Is Multiple Myeloma?
To help you understand what is happening when you have cancer, it helps to understand how your body works normally. Our bodies are made up of tiny building blocks called cells. Normal cells grow and multiply when the body needs them, and die out when the body does not need them.
Cancer is made up of abnormal cells that grow whether or not they are needed. Multiple myeloma is cancer that begins in the plasma cells. These are a type of white blood cell.
Plasma cells make proteins called antibodies that help our body fight disease. These cells are in the soft inner part of our bones called the bone marrow. Multiple myeloma starts when plasma cells become abnormal. It's also known as myeloma or plasma cell myeloma.
White blood cells originate in bone marrow, some of which become antibody-producing plasma cells as seen in the top part of the drawing.
Although this cancer starts in blood cells, it has a big effect on bones. Cancerous plasma cells are called myeloma cells. They make large numbers of abnormal proteins called M proteins. M proteins crowd normal bone marrow and harm the bone structure. Your bones may become weak and more likely to break. Because the myeloma cells crowd the normal cells, there is not enough room for the bone marrow to make as many healthy cells.
Several kinds of blood problems may result:
- Low red blood cell count. This condition is called anemia. It is identified by a blood test. It can cause tiredness as well as other problems.
- Low white blood cell count. This condition is neutropenia. It weakens the body's defenses against infection.
- Low platelet count. This condition is called thrombocytopenia. It may lead to bleeding and bruising easily.
Because they destroy bone, myeloma cells can cause stored calcium from the bone to be released into the bloodstream. This can lead to too much calcium in the blood called hypercalcemia. Hypercalcemia can harm the heart, nerves, and kidneys. These are some signs of hypercalcemia:
- Constipation
- Fatigue
- Frequent urination
- Frequent thirst
- Muscle weakness
- Drowsiness or confusion
Other symptoms that may be signs of multiple myeloma include the following:
- Bone pain
- Weight loss
- Repeated infections
- Weakness or numbness in legs
- Back pain
- Broken bones, usually in the spine
- Rib pain
The symptoms of multiple myeloma may be much like those of other bone diseases or medical problems. Always consult a doctor for a diagnosis.
Some people with multiple myeloma may not have any symptoms. Instead, the myeloma is found when blood or urine tests are done for another reason.

Leuprolide Acetate
Leuprolide acetate, sold under the brand name Lupron, is one of several gonadotropin-releasing hormone (GnRH) agonists (meaning it simulates the effect of natural GnRH in the body) that are used in fertility treatments, such as in vitro fertilization.
Daily injections of leuprolide acetate overstimulate the pituitary gland, which causes it to produce excessive amounts of luteinizing hormone (LH) and follicle-stimulating hormone (FSH). FSH causes mature follicle to develop in the ovaries, while LH causes an egg to be released (ovulation). The pituitary, sensing there is too much of each hormone in your body, shuts down production and ovulation then ceases. This is called "down regulation" or "suppression." Approximately 10 days of injections are usually necessary to halt ovulation.
This suppression allows doctors to predict and control precisely when you ovulate and time your fertility treatments accordingly to increase the likelihood of achieving pregnancy. Once follicles are mature and your doctor is ready for you to ovulate, he or she will inject you with an ovulation-stimulating medication, such as synthetic hCG or LH, and one or more eggs can be retrieved 35 hours later.
When Lupron is first administered and production of LH and FSH spikes, some women may develop ovarian cysts, although this is a fairly rare occurrence. After this flare stage, when the pituitary has been fully suppressed, some women get a period. Your doctor will put you on Lupron for a few weeks before scheduling any ART procedure to make sure you are past this flare stage and your pituitary is fully suppressed.
Side effects of using Lupron resemble those associated with menopause, including:
Ovarian hyperstimulation syndrome (OHSS) is potentially the most serious complication that can arise from the use of fertility medications. Ovarian hyperstimulation syndrome is a condition that can usually be predicted before it occurs, but it sometimes occurs when only minimal risk factors exist. The following risk factors increase the risk for ovarian hyperstimulation syndrome:
Symptoms of ovarian hyperstimulation include abdominal pain or discomfort, abdominal distension, nausea, dizziness, increased thirst, decreased urinary output, or shortness of breath.
In order to reduce the risk of OHSS, your doctor will monitor your blood daily and perform daily transvaginal ultrasounds around ovulation to check the number and size of developing follicles. Enlarged follicles usually subside once the medication is stopped; rarely, hospitalization may be necessary.

You'll be comfortable all day long ... as long as you don't run over a prickly pear cactus.
Castelli's Prologo HD Jersey is one of the more conservative jerseys in the Castelli line-up. The paneling is rather simple for Castelli and the logo somewhat understated. Still, this is no plain jersey.
The bulk of the jersey material used is Castelli's Stratus fabric with Prosecco treatment. Stratus is a dual-layer 100% polyester knit weave. The inner layer is a multifilament web that moves moisture from your skin or base layer to the outside of the fabric. The outer layer is a micro fiber weave that allows the sweat to evaporate in the wind. Prosecco is a treatment that helps water disperse and evaporate faster rather than staying in the jersey. There's a mesh panel down the back from the shoulders to the top of the middle pocket. This panel allows for a little more stretch and a little more venting in a place where the wind can't get to you. At the top of the mesh is a rubber Italian tricolor permanently bonded to the fabric.
The set-in sleeves and waist have a light binding in the cuffs, but the jersey is designed to fit close, so these simply add to the mooring of the top to your body.
There are three standard rear pockets with the Castelli scorpion on the middle pocket. The right side gets a mini-zip pocket for precious and small items like your credit card and keys. There's a Castelli logo emblazoned across the chest, and the hidden front zipper is 35cm long.
The Castelli Prologo HD Jersey comes in Red/White/Cyan and White/Black/Red. Sizes run from Small to XX-Large.
- Mesh insert on the back panel further cools your body and customizes the fit without impeding aerodynamics
- Three rear pockets hold all the supplies you'll need for a full day on the road, while a hidden zip pocket gives you a great place to stash your house key
- Vent the 3/4-length hidden zip to cool your core on the ascent
- Item #CST0559

What do you think about this product?
Have questions about this product?
- Familiarity: I've used it several times
I love this jersey it is the one i try and wear the most in the summer. Bought it in three colors!
Nice thin soft fabric. tight fit so i sized up. love the zipper pocket to make sure i don't lose anything important!
- Familiarity: I've used it several times
- Fit: Runs small
Not the same quality as the slightly higher priced Castelli jerseys. I'm 5'10, 160 and the large is form fitting. At half-off it's a fine deal, but I slightly prefer lower end Pearl Izumi jerseys to lower end Castelli jerseys.
Not Bad for the $$$$$...
I'm 6'185-190lbs with an athletic build. The LARGE fits perfectly. Will order one more before they are gone. BTW, I wish they didn't put the "iron-on" logo on the back pocket...
runs really small
these run really small, hubby likes it though, once we got the size to fit
Not club fit!
- Familiarity: I've used it several times
Bought a large originally based on size chart. Wow! Very slim cut. Large Castelli is much smaller than Large Pearl Izumi. I like the other features of the jersey. A little more personality than most.
To Small
Great quality and color, but to small:(
Not too bad...
Definitely not the same quality as the newer, higher priced Castelli gear, but for the price it's a decent jersey. Fit is like all Castelli jerseys, order a size up. The zipper, which is not the multi-purpose zipper, does rub slightly near the bottom, but nothing that is terribly uncomfortable. The jersey does look really good though, at least on me.
Just right
Got the Grey/Black with Orange graphics...quality of fit and construction is superb. It looks really good. Fit is race-snug but not restricting. Zipper is a little dainty but it stays comfortably out of the way and functions fine. Three rear open pockets plus one small zipper pocket on the right side...really nice detail for stashing cash or ID...stuff you want to keep on you, but not necessarily jammed in with gel packs and flat repair kits. Love all the little details like a rubber Italian flag just below the rear neckline, the 4th pocket, the mesh pits. Very satisfied with this purchase
Good Jersey
Great jersey. The mesh vents let the jersey breathe well. Great for the Arizona heat. I have a couple of them now.

Castelli Prologo HD Jersey - Short-Sleeve - Men's
Good quality jersey. They run small in size. Good size pockets in the back.
Nice Jersey
Nice Jersey. However, in my opinion this does not fit the way my other Castellis do. This is true to size. So my advice would be to not order one size up which is what most people have to do with Castelli.
I had the same problem. Castelli Jerseys usually fit smaller and I size up. I ordered the Prologo in my usual Large and this one is just too big.
Great fitting, comfortable in the heat even in black
I've got the all black and have worn it on some blistering days. Kept me fine. It isn't the lightest jersey in my closet but it is one of my go to jerseys. I'm 5'10" - 152 lbs and the medium fits me close enough to be a race day jersey. Only issue ever is that the pocket zipper can be finicky opening and closing from time to time, but once closed you know you won't loose your keys.
Fine jersey
Just what I'd expect from a Castelli jersey. Cool, comfortable, well made. Definitely a training jersey, though, as it's on the looser side of the spectrum. I'm 6'0, 147lbs and ordered a medium. Almost wonder what a small would fit like...
It works, it fits, it wears well
I love Castelli stuff. This has not disappointed, and the white color is great for keeping the heat down in South Texas.
Great jersey
This is now my favorite jersey. It is extremely comfortable. Fits very well. And the white helps in this heat.

FIVB World Grand Prix Pool Schedules Announced
Bill Kauffman
Associate Director, Communications
Phone: 719-228-6800
E-Mail: email@example.com
COLORADO SPRINGS, Colo. (July 4, 2011) – The FIVB has confirmed the pool schedules for the upcoming 2011 FIVB World Grand Prix, the top annual international women's volleyball tournament.
The U.S. Women's National Team, ranked second in the world by the FIVB and the defending champions of the World Grand Prix, opens the three weekend preliminary round phase at Luohe, China. In Pool D, the Americans face ninth-ranked Serbia on Aug. 5 at 4 p.m. (1 a.m. PT), No. 19 Kazakhstan on Aug. 6 at 4 p.m. (1 a.m. PT) and No. 6 China on Aug. 7 at 7:30 p.m. (4:30 a.m. PT).
Team USA travels to Komaki, Japan, for the second preliminary round weekend. The U.S. opens Pool H against No. 13 Dominican Republic on Aug. 12 at 3 p.m. (11 p.m. PT on Aug. 11), followed by No. 3 Japan on Aug. 13 at 6 p.m. (2 a.m. PT) and a rematch with No. 9 Serbia on Aug. 14 at 3 p.m. (11 p.m. PT on Aug. 13).
The Americans conclude the preliminary round in Hong Kong, which will be hosting two pools under the Hong Kong Coliseum roof at the same time. The U.S. faces No. 10 Germany on Aug. 19 at 3 p.m. (midnight PT), followed by No. 4 Italy on Aug. 20 at 7 p.m. (4 a.m. PT) and No. 15 Peru on Aug. 21 at 11 a.m. (10 p.m. PT on Aug. 20).
The U.S. Women's National Team will face three teams ranked among the top six in the world (No. 3 Japan, No. 4 Italy and No. 6 China), along with three other matches against top 10 teams (twice against No. 9 Peru and No. 10 Germany). Team USA's nine FIVB World Grand Prix preliminary round matches result in an average world ranking of 9.78.
The top seven teams in the preliminary round plus China will advance to the FIVB World Grand Prix Final Round held Aug. 24-28 at Macau, China. At last year's World Grand Prix Final Round staged in Ningbo, China, the U.S. defeated Poland, Italy, Brazil, China and Japan to walk away with the gold medal.
Last month U.S. Women's National Volleyball Team Head Coach Hugh McCutcheon announced the 20-player preliminary roster for the 2011 FIVB World Grand Prix that begins Aug. 5.
McCutcheon has selected as part of his 20-player preliminary roster middle blockers Foluke Akinradewo (Plantation, Fla.), Heather Bown (Yorba Linda, Calif.), Christa Harmotto (Hopewell, Pa.), Danielle Scott-Arruda (Baton Rouge, La.) and Jennifer Tamas (Milpitas, Calif.). Outside hitters in the mix for the final roster are Angie Forsett (Lake Mary, Fla.), Kim Glass (Lancaster, Pa.), Megan Hodge (Durham, N.C.), Jordan Larson (Hooper, Neb.), Kristin Richards (Orem, Utah) and Logan Tom (Salt Lake City, Utah).
Setters named to the preliminary roster are Lindsey Berg (Honolulu), Alisha Glass (Leland, Mich.) and Nellie Spicer (Barrington, Ill.). Opposites on the preliminary squad are Nicole Fawcett (Zanesfield, Ohio), Tayyiba Haneef-Park (Laguna Hills, Calif.), Destinee Hooker (San Antonio, Texas) and Nancy Metcalf (Hull, Iowa). Liberos on the roster are Nicole Davis (Stockton, Calif.) and Tamari Miyashiro (Kaneohe, Hawaii).
The U.S. Women will attempt to defend its FIVB World Grand Prix title won last year by winning their 11 matches in the tournament. The Americans have won the event in 1995, 2001 and 2010, along with consecutive bronze-medal finishes in 2003 and 2004. Akinradewo was named the most valuable player and Best Blocker in last year's edition, while Alisha Glass was selected as Best Setter in her first senior-level FIVB-organized event of her career.
Nine of the 20 players on the World Grand Prix preliminary roster have Olympic Games experience, while 13 of 20 have played in the FIVB World Championships. Scott-Arruda is a four-time Olympian attempting to become the first American volleyball player to compete in five Olympics. Tom and Bown have played in three Olympic Games.

My biggest problem was probably with stretching the dough. I always stretch out the middle too thin. I may go back to using a rolling pin, but I feel that I would get a flatter end crust if I press all of the air out of the dough. I have 2 more balls of dough from this batch so I'll probably try a rolling pin on one of them.
Beautiful pizzas, I like the toppings you are using.Can I recommend that you not cut the pizza on the peel? It looks like that's what you're doing. I did that for a month and one day the thing split right down the middle. I was able to use wood glue & sanding to get it operable again - but I'm on a budget and I'll be upset / screwed if the glue starts to disintegrate.
Hey Frog, Great looking pizzas. I was wondering if you could give me the recipe? I do not understand the chart with percentages. Could you tell me how much of exactly what you are using in proper measurements. I am new here btw.

Bought this strictly for the natural ingredients that make up the colour. The yellow came out beautifully, the red produced a lovely pink. The green is so-so and i found it tricky to mix colours to achieve a good blue. But hey, I ain't complaining since it comes in this convenient form. Making my own colours from scratch is gonna take time and half my kitchen space. Want to avoid chemical colours as much as i can, especially for my two kiddos and their friends!!

I finally found NATURAL food coloring that I can order so it's very good. The colors aren't quite as bold - we try to bake some cookies the blue and yellow Disappeared and the red become pink but its ok. its very tiny bottels I didn't expected it to be that tiny but its better from everything else so I recommended it! A bit expensive but worth it.

Bob hairstyle with bangs and extra volume
A classic A-line bob beautifully brings out the best in straight black hair. Overall body is improved by the cut, and styling showcases the rich color and shine. A full black fringe with ends curved a bit under uniformly covers the forehead down to the upper eyelids. The entire body is angled in length, from back to front, and in increasing volume, in keeping with the A-line cut. Ends are tucked under, increasing the perception of body,

Meeting Description:
RANLP 2009 Workshop on Partial Parsing 2: Between Chunking and Deep Parsing
After the success of the first Workshop on Partial Parsing, we are happy to announce Partial Parsing 2. Partial parsing has become a standard means of integrating syntactic knowledge into high level applications such as information retrieval, machine translation, or question answering, for which efficiency and robustness is of importance. In comparison with chunking and deep parsing, partial parsing consists in finding structure that is richer than chunks but less exhaustive than full syntactico-semantic parses: partial parsing may involve constructing nested structures (unlike simple chunking) without creating the full parse of a sentence. However, partial parsing is not a single concept but rather an area ranging from chunking to almost full parsing. This workshop will bring together researchers who work on partial parsing in its different interpretations.
The main areas of interest of the workshop include (but are not restricted to):
- Linguistic richness of partial parsers for various applications: syntactic and semantic headedness, the degree of hierarchical structure, semantic information (anaphora, disambiguation);
- Development methodologies for partial parsers: manual, machine learning, hybrid;
- The usability of language resources for the development of partial parsers;
- Multi-lingual development of partial parsers, etc.;
- Experience and utilization of existing tools for building partial parsers for new languages;
- Technical aspects of partial parsers: robustness, scalability; time and space complexity; expressiveness of partial parsing formalisms (regular vs. context-free rules; unification; type hierarchies; etc.);
- Applications of partial parsers: information extraction, question answering, machine translation, web text mining, acquisition of lexical information, etc.;
- Evaluation methodologies for partial parsers: gold standards, application-specific, reusability of evaluation resources for different partial parsing tasks, etc.;
- Ways of combining multiple partial parsers;
- Comparison (classification) of partial parsers.

About the Author: Bruce Hudspeth serves as Regional Environmental Hub Officer at U.S. Embassy Tashkent.
My colleagues and I who serve at the U.S. Embassy in Tashkent, Uzbekistan, celebrated Earth Day by helping plant 60 trees in Seattle Peace Park, named after the Uzbekistan capital's sister city in the United States. We were joined by scores of volunteers who helped us commemorate the 40th anniversary of the founding of the modern environmental movement.
Deputy Chief of Mission (DCM) Duane Butcher was on hand for the event, and spoke about U.S.-Uzbekistan cooperation on environmental issues. Also joining in the celebration were city and national government officials, representatives from Uzbek environmental groups and NGOs, and local children whose beautiful artwork was prominently displayed throughout the park. As a sign of international cooperation, the trees that were planted are all native to North America. "We hope that together we can make sure that these trees will be properly protected, and grow tall and beautiful for many years to come," said DCM Butcher during his remarks. "Today, our planet needs international dedication and commitment to preserve and protect the earth's resources. While we take time to recognize our achievements, we should not lose sight of the challenges that remain, and continue to build upon the legacy of the modern environmental movement started forty years ago."
The United States began providing assistance to Uzbekistan in 1993, soon after the country became independent. Since that time, the United States has provided over $300 million in programs that support development of a prosperous Uzbekistan. The U.S. Embassy in Tashkent directly administers a program of small grants, many of which have been used to fund environmental initiatives proposed and implemented by concerned Uzbek scientists, activists, and citizens. These have included awareness programs, environmental clean-up projects, and support to water users associations.
For more information, please visit the embassy's website or Facebook page.

Thank you Bruce! We rarely see positive information about Uzbekistan. Uzbekistan as every body knows is located in a Semi Arid Zone and need deliberate efforts for tree plantation. Uzbek Government and President Islam Karimov must be commended for making efforts in planting new saplings regularly. Tashkent is the green City because of Government efforts and help from international donors. State Department is Doing a great Job and many people in Uzbekistan will appreciate the efforts of Mr Bruce.

Bewertungen für andere Unterkünfte dieses Gastgebers
First time using Wimdu and it was a great experience. The house was very nice and clean overlooking a beautiful plaza. The beds were comfortable but the sofa bed not so much. However, we were only there two nights so it was fine. The house is spread out in three floors, with the bedrooms on the 1st and 2nd floor, so there is space for everyone. The best part of the house is the terrace and it's location.
Nieves was wonderful and very helpful. She welcomed us, answered all our questions and gave us some great tips on restaurants and bars in our neighborhood. We had a great experience thanks to her. Gracias Nieves!
An excellent apartment close to the Cathedral & the bullring , calle Adriano with a large selection of restaurants & bars was mere steps away from the front door.
The apartment was air conditioned , the TV had a facility to change the Spanish version of many programmes back to the original English language version , hot water was constantly available & the washing machine was a Godsend.
Hugely impressed and would return.
Fine appartment a bit noicy but that's a feature of the Spanish temper.
We had big expectations on this apartment, due to the very high price. We are very disappointed! Improvements have to be done to make this study serious, otherwise stop rent out.
Negative things:
- The study did not have any air-conditioning this must be mentioned in the description of the appartment!!!! Imagine, in July with 30 degrees and three Tapas bars just under our balcony, made it impossible to sleep, because we had to have the balcony door open (noisy until 3 a.m.). With closed door you could not sleep due to the heat.
- The study was quite dirty and non-fresh. Marks on wall paper etc. and we had to clean the bathroom ourselves before using it.
- The stove was in a bad condition. Only two out of four stove plates functioned.
- The sheet was too small for the mattress, so where ending up laying on the mattress itself
- The balcony was very small
- The pots and pans were worn out with broken layer. Must be upgraded (the rest of the kitchen and tools were Ok)
Positive things:
- The study is very close to the beach
- The view from the balcony was very nice
- The study has a washing machine
- If it is too windy on the beach there is a swimming pool included
Terrific location, 5 minute walk from Cathedral. Apartment as described in the website. Carmen and Jesus were great, always available and helpful. Highly recommended.
Nicely located appartment with beautifull terace on the roof. Kitchen is minimum but enough to make your coffee in the morning.
We were happy to stay in this appartment, and the owner (Eva) is very hospitable. The appartment has a very charming terrace, where we spent most time. We liked the area, where the appartment is situated with its many local bars, and would like to recommend a stay in this appartment.
Very nice appartment, very functional and furnished with everything one might need. Moreover it's perfectly located Close to Train Station and City Center. For a longer stay it might be a bit dark, as it has only Windows to a courtyard,
The apartment was just great. Clean and easily walkable to all interesting areas of Seville. The only reason I did not give it 5 stars was that the noise from the street filters into the apartment, the windows could do with thicker glass. Carmen was always ready to answer any questions we had, and everything worked out just fine. I would recommend.
