The troopsfcsuffered materially from the cold duringsthe cnarch of twenty-five miles, which was begun at twelve o'clock. The roads are to rough that several wagons over- turned on the way and a teamster named Burke was uuder one of them, tiis hip bdin? broken. Many long de- lays were caused by such accide-uts.

PIERKE, S. D, Nov. Captain Nor- ville, a special the Government stationed here to adjudicate Indian :laims, yesterday paid a visit to tho Two Kettle tribe of Sioux, living some dis- tance up Bad river. Taese Indians are partly civilized and tho report was cir- sulated that they were deserting their homes to fro to Hump and liijr Foot's tamps and join the hostiles in ghost lances. When tho captain found theso fellows they positively denied it and made affidavits to tLiafc effect The cap- tain next waited upon Crow Eagle and Hump Rib, bbf two head men of tho band, and told the captain that emissaries had visited them from the Cherry crook Indians and one evening while they were having- a dance one of Big Foot's mon caito in and addressed them, and told them about the new Christ and how he was going to lead the Indians into happiness and destroy the whites.

The sase has attracted mn-a attention from the proraine-n'-e or tV- parties. Should Lynched. iMn.wArKEE, Wis., Nov. Krotz. aged sixty-seven, has confessed bianself the assailant of tho twelve- year-old daugfcter of Jacob Hunger, and acknowledges baving tried to burn bis victim to death so as to destroy the proof of bis guilt. Krotz has a wealthy and respected wife. When confronted by tbe child he broke down and con- fessed having assaulted other girls, one oaly tern years old. He sent at once to the express office to learn whether the money was there. The express agent said the money had been given to Marks, as it was supposed he was still connected with the bank. Word was sent to police headquarters and Chief Harden immediately started out with officers of tho bank to work on the case. At tho American express office the officials stated that they had baen told by the detectives to say nothing about the matter. Cashier Waters stated that never before had money sent by express to the bank be.en delivered to a representative of the bank. Tho money packages were always sent to the bank. "We send money to the express offices by said Mr. Waters, "but tho express company should have deliv- red raonoy for us at tbe bank." Marks is twentv-four years old. He entered the se'-vlcf of tha Flour City bank at the ago of sixteen yaar.s and rose to the position of note teller. His industry and capability were recognised by the officials of tbe bank and about two years ago he was promoted. Ho was not discharged for any act. Through the iuflitencu-of Joseph Bier, a friend of the Marks family, a position was given tho young man as traveling for the. firm of Moore Bier, clothing manufacturers. UriCA, N. Y., Nov. M. Marks, of Rochester, was captured in a house of ill fame in this city last even- ing. A satchel containing S.24.650 of the stolen -sio.ioy ia tho original packages was recovered, Marks had shaved off his mustache. He positively refused to make any statement. Abraham Darker, the founder of the house of Barker Bros, it Co.. said: "The assignment was unavoidable. We hoped to bo able to avert it, but it was impos- sible. People who owed us money and upon whom we depended did not pay us. We expected that they would do so, but they failed to moot their engagements and now we have failed to meet ours. That is all that can be said now. Of course, the condition of the money mar- ket has much to do with tho trouble. Tho step was necessary for the protec- tion of our customers." Wharton Barker is president of ibe Finance Company of Pennsylvania and is a director of tho Investment Com- pany of Philadelphia. Just before tho suspension of Barker Bros. Co. was announced, meetings of the directors of these companies were called in haste. At the Finance Company preparations were made run on its deposits and s-ubsequent events showed that the pre- aution was well taken. A number of checks wero presented during the last hour of the day's business and some ac- counts drawn out All drafts upon it met. Treasurer Stem says tho com piny is entirely solvent. Vice President Tower also said that tho Finance Company could moet every ob- ligation against it and that the msetinif of tho directors had no reference to the Barker failure. President Uoyt, of the Investment Company, said the directors at their meeting had taken no action with refer- ence to the Barker failure. ad Miciu. XOT.

What a joy to visit Branson, MO. Our original plan was to spend a week here but Mayo had other plans. It took four days longer than anticipated to complete our initial appointments at Mayo Clinic. This took that much time off our Branson visit. We crammed as much into three days as we could.
After watching TV, movies, following the the "hot" news topics, etc. it is great to visit a place where good, clean productions are the standard. It is especially meaningful to be there during the week of Veteran's Day because they pay such wonderful tribute to our military and veterans.
This visit we did not go to our favorites: Shoji Tabuchi, Yakov Smirnoff, Branson Belle and Andy Williams. There is such a huge variety of excellent shows from which to choose and we saw geat performances, most of which are not familiar nationwide. It seems that the quality of talent improves with every visit (our 4th). We saw:
10 Irish Tenors. This show is all male with Irish ancestry. Great variety of music and dancing. Very high energy.
Six - most popular Branson show. Consists of six brothers (of 10) who present a musical show with no accompaniment other than the vocal sounds they make which represent most instruments. They all have great solo voices.
John Tweed He has been a favorite for each Branson visit. Sings 4 octaves.
Pierce Arrow - Talented musical show with great section of Christian music and testimony.
Mannheim Steamroller - One of my favorite musical groups. This is not a regular Branson show so we have been fortunate to see them during our last 2 visits.
Never miss a stay in Branson without going to the Hard Luck Diner. This is a standard 50's restaurant where all staff members sing-and what voices! Each waiter performs a number during the time it takes to eat. They are either: in a show, have previously performed or are waiting for a call. I would go every day but Jack limits me to 2-3 times per visit.
Wyndham (formerly Fairfield). where we own our timeshares, has a Branson Sampler party where performers pop in to do one number. There were 20 different artists or groups Monday night. This gives us a chance to preview some of Branson's talent and choose shows.
To see the variety and huge number of show in Branson, go to
Branson has developed an area on the river into mixed shopping and residential (condos starting on the 2nd floors of shops). There is a water show that appears every hour (at least at night) that is somewhat similar to the Bellagio (Las Vegas) water show. It was fun to spend one evening shopping and watching this show.
Of course Jack never found a shopping mall (especially outlet mall) he doesn't like so we went to a couple of those during our short stay.
We thought we had one more day in Branson than we had booked and ended up with three shows the day we checked out of our condo. During Veteran's Day week Branson is nearly impossible to get lodging without reservations so decided to start for Nashville after the third show of the day at 7:30 at night. We put Nashville in our GPS and did not check the route on a map. Not a good idea! We figured it would be a good road because it was a federal highway. WRONG!! We drove through the Ozarks on what the locals call the "roller coaster road" until we found a town with a decent motel. Fortunately, the weather was good so the drive wasn't too bad but Jack does not want to do that too often.
Now on to Nashville......

uh whats a "condition pictorial"????
im going to set a magwell on a sten later today and will take some pictures for you if you want...
but as we said, you really need to have already cut your bolt slot and the main magwell hole then put in the bolt and work your magwell off of the bolt position.
this will eliminate any alignment problems... no misfeeds this way.
will have pix of me setting and tacking this up later tonite when i get in.

Sima ssw6, Sony Dream System, prewired home
We bought a house prewired with speakers. From the living room wall there are 2 bundles of wires that are red, green, black, and white. I'm not sure which is + and which is -? Anyone know what is standard. Hooking that part into the Sima speaker selector will be easy. I'm supposed to hookup the Sony Dream Systems output to the Sima...can't find what to run from the Sony to the Sima. We already have volume selectors in the rooms on the walls. Thanks
wire colors do neccessarily matter as long as you wire it the same at the speakers and the amp. any pictures or more info?

Starting on January 1st, I'm going to be directing sales of digital resources to my TeachersPayTeachers store for payment processing. It won't seem like much of a change from your perspective because my website will look exactly the same. The main difference will be that when you click the Buy Now button to purchase a digital item, you will click through to my TpT store to make that purchase there. Here's an overview of what will change and what will stay the same.
- When you purchase a digital item, the Buy Now button with take you to my TpT store to process the payment.
- After January 1st, you will not be able to purchase my Literacy, Math, or Super Mini Pack Combos. Because of this, I'm offering special discounts on those items from now until January 1st when they are removed from my website. If you use the discount code COMBO at checkout, you'll get $5 off the Literacy or Math pack and $10 off the Super Mini Pack Combo. Visit my Mini Pack page to find those items.
- Teaching Resources will look the same and will still have hundreds of freebies in the online file cabinet and on the strategies pages.
- You will still be able to view previews of my products directly from Teaching Resources.
- You can still purchase hard copies of my print books and even the digital/print combos of Power Reading Workshop and Graphic Organizers for Reading directly from my website. My Classroom Book Clubs DVD will still be available through my website.
- I will still accept checks and purchase orders myself. You can download the appropriate order forms from my Ordering Page.
- Your school can still purchase site licenses directly from my website.
- My prices on TpT are the same as prices on my website, and you can continue to expect reasonable prices for these time-saving materials.
- The TpT site is well-organized and easy to navigate.
- You can follow your favorite sellers there to be notified when they add new freebies and products.
- You can quickly see preview images of products, and you can still download complete previews of my books from TpT.
- Everything you purchase will be available in your TpT account so that you can download it again in the event of a computer crash.
- On TpT, you can purchase single copy items for yourself as well as add additional licenses for coworkers at greatly reduced prices.
- You can earn credits for leaving feedback on your purchases, and you can spend these credits on anywhere on TpT.
- TpT has many different payment options including credit cards, PayPal, and purchase orders.
If you don't already use TeachersPayTeachers, the first thing you need to do is to sign up for a free account. Then visit my TpT store and click the Follow Me link at the top to be sure you are notified of any new freebies or products that I add to my store. As a way of showing appreciation to my TpT followers, I'm planning to offer 50% off all items I add to my store for the first 24 hours they are on the site. The only way you'll know that I've added these items is to follow me there to receive notification by email.
One thing that won't change in 2013 is that I plan to continue creating loads of new freebies and other teaching resources, just as I've done for over 10 years on LauraCandler.com. I still love to share resources with teachers, whether it's through my own website or TeachersPayTeachers.

Surrounded by four bailiffs, a Davis teen accused of a double murder listened as attorneys discussed his upcoming August trial date Thursday morning.
Daniel Marsh, 17, is accused of torturing and mutilating Oliver "Chip" Northup, 87, and his wife, Claudia Maupin, 76, inside their Davis condominium. He changed his plea to not guilty by reason of insanity on June 2.
In light of this new plea, the trial date was continued to allow for a psychological evaluation of the teen by two medical professionals.
Yolo County Superior Court Judge David Reed postponed the trial to 9 a.m. on Aug. 25 in Department 6. He also scheduled a trial readiness conference at 9 a.m. on Aug. 18 in the same department.
Reed spent Thursday morning releasing medical documents pertaining to Marsh, his sister Sara, father Bill, and mother Sheri Hosking, to both attorneys.
Hosking was questioned early last month because she was slated to undergo surgery for a neurological condition, the lengthy recovery of which would conflict with the trial. Her testimony was video recorded for future use.
When Reed got to the documents pertaining to Bill and Sara Marsh, he asked their permission to do so. Both Bill and Sara, who often attend Marsh's hearings, stood up and agreed to have their information distributed to the attorneys, even though the medical offices failed to ask their permission to release the records to the court.
When Reed asked for Hosking's whereabouts, Sara raised her hand and said that her mother is still recovering from the surgery. He released her medical documents as well.
Moving on to other matters, Reed scheduled a review date for Marsh's psychological evaluations for 8:30 a.m. on July 30 in Department 6.
Marsh is charged with two counts of first degree murder with enhancements for using a "deadly or dangerous weapon," in this case a knife. There are also additional enhancements noting special circumstances for committing multiple murders, stating that Marsh "intentionally killed more than one victim." Enhancements for "lying in wait" and "torture" were also outlined in court documents. He faces 25-year prison terms for each murder count.
At the teen's preliminary hearing in September, details of Marsh's statements to officers came to light. The teenager allegedly confessed to stabbing each victim dozens of times and mutilating the bodies, telling investigators that "it just felt right."
Maupin had 67 stab wounds, while Northup had 61, according to Yolo County Chief Deputy Coroner Gina Moya.
The murder took place April 13, 2013. Marsh was arrested on June 17, 2013 in Davis. Though Marsh was 15 at the time, he is being tried as an adult.

A new project to transform an iconic geothermal wonderland back toward the way it used to be has already uncovered some long-hidden treasures.
Boiling pools, bubbling mud and a geyser once famous for its lively displays have been unveiled after months of clearing away scrub at Rotorua's Te Whakarewarewa Valley, with the promise of more exciting finds to come.
The work by maintenance staff at Te Puia/New Zealand Maori Arts and Crafts Institute has opened up expansive views across the area's geothermal features and unveiled boiling water and mud pools which visitors have been unable to see until now.
Palisades in different parts of the valley, some of which are original palisades constructed using trees from the Ruawahia peak on Mt Tarawera which were stripped bare by the eruption of 1886, have also been revealed.
Taparoto Nicholson told the Herald the landscape appeared vastly different when he arrived in the valley more than three decades ago to take up a carving apprenticeship.
The valley, much of it now screened by undergrowth, was largely a bare geothermal field pocked with mud pools and criss-crossed by rough walking tracks.
Now Te Puia's visitor experience manager, Mr Nicholson sought to treat visitors to sights that had been hidden for years.
Part of a three-year programme, clearing work in often challenging conditions has gained new views of the palisades and Te Puia's waka shelter, while uncovering the mud pools Ngapuna Tokotura and the dormant Papakura Geyser.
The geyser,whose name guide Maggie Papakura adopted and which is situated near the Ngararatuatara cooking pool, had been a major attraction in the valley until it cooled and ceased erupting in 1979, the surrounding vegetation eventually growing over it.
"Simply by clearing away vegetation, we are changing the landscape," Mr Nicholson said.
"It's a simple thing but it is already making a big difference and gradually making the valley once again look as it would have when tourists first started coming here more than 100 years ago."
There are plans to unveil other areas of the valley after this summer's peak visitor season, including plans to re-establish tracks in the southernmost part of the reserve which, after becoming less used, have became overgrown.
The rediscoveries come co-incidentally as new signs of life in the valley's Waikite Geyser have excited geologists.
Once the valley's star geyser, Waikite was capable of spouting steam 20m into the air and a change in geothermal levels had indicated a possible reawakening after 40 years of silence.

I have been thinking a lot about passion lately and recently wrote about it in a Public Libraries article. Today I read a blog that brought libraries into the picture more solidly for me. So my trendwatching blog today centers on Geekdom. Joe Peacock, a self anointed Nerd, Geek, Super-fan states today in a CNN Blog titled Geek Out. "We know who you are. You shine like a beacon. Geeks aren't blind: We see you, geek poser…We know it's suddenly cool to be smart and passionate. Those qualities earned us derision and exclusion from our peers at one point, and the term 'geek' was thrown at us like it was meant to stab us in the heart. But now, it's become something of an honorific.These days, people actually want to be us – kind of."
Joe defines Geek for us by saying,
"'Geek' is what happens when passion overrides your need to be accepted or fit in. It's loving something so much that you throw yourself wholeheartedly into it.
For some reason, "geek" has become the label that the mainstream has placed on a culture that mixes comic book fandom, sci-fi and fantasy movies, and tech consumerism. And those things all together have become very popular. So the trend is to call yourself "geeky" if you like them.
But that's the problem. Those things aren't the sum total of geekdom. Geek isn't a scene. It's not a fashion. It's not a lifestyle. It's a life – my life. Geek is who you are. When geek posers are off doing the next trendy thing and "geek" is, like, so 2012, we will still be us.
It's a lot of work to be a geek: to be smart and passionate while ostracized and isolated because our intensity makes us weird. It is absolutely easier to buy the shirt and wear the geek label, because by doing so, you get to become smart and passionate by association.
I'll be the first to admit, right now, we geeks are indulging a little. It feels good to be validated in mainstream society and, even if it's a whisper, to say 'we told you so.'"
Libraries, the original geek haven, have also come close to being in vogue lately. What better place to study your passion?

Troubleshooting a Goodman Integrated Control Mod
The fuse on integrated control module in a goodman model GMT blows almost immediately when replaced in the AC mode. I have check the 120/24 transformer with an ohm meter and it reads no short to ground on either side and the opposite poles are isolated. The board shows no "burned" components or spots from the front. Are there another tests that I might do before replacing this module?
The thermostat wiring to the outside unit may be damaged by weed whacker/dog/rodents. Check it first. Then remove it at the unit outside and try turn unit on. If it still shorts then the short is in the wiring to the house or the furnace and not the outdoor unit. Look for dead mice, bad contactor in outdoor unit.
Check the control wire to your outdoor unit. Animals and weed eaters commonly damage it.
The control wire can also rub against copper pipes in the outdoor unit and cause this problem.
Troubleshooting a Goodman Integrated Control Mod
Thank you for your quick feedback. I did what you suggested and I also disconnected the ac unit contact solenoid from the control mod and tested to see if the fan would come on and it did. Then reconnected the outside solenoid and it blew the fuse again. The contact solenoid does show discoloration by not that bad and it read out ok, but I do not have a megger.
You don't need a megger just a new contactor from Graingers (under $50). They are rated in amperage draw for the contacts but I would get a 30 amp one as it is the largest and has better contacts. It is probably mechanically seizing and drawing too many amps not necessarily shorting.

How Anti-Abortion Activists Are Winning the Debate
Dina Lamdany, the young Jewish feminist blogger behind From the Rib, is looking into abortion-rights organizations at the colleges she is considering. Citing the legacy of strong Jewish women in the abortion-rights movement, she hopes to join Students for Choice or the equivalent at whatever school she ends up at. She writes:
So that's why I believe that it's important for me to join a pro-choice group when I go to college: because reproductive rights are important, because I want to make sure that abortion stays legal and safe for women, but also because I want my peers to learn to appreciate and want to protect the rights that we have been lucky enough to have been born with.
She writes about the generation gap — about how young people born with the assumed right and ability to take control of their reproductive health whether it's through birth control, abortion or the morning after pill, have a little understanding of how those rights are slipping away.
But slipping away they are, even as the gap between how easy Americans perceive it is to obtain an abortion and how difficult it actually is continues to grow. While nearly half of all Americans say it's "too easy" to get an abortion, according to Rasmussen, the reality, as this Daily Kos post shows, is one of endless and new hurdles.
In the past few weeks restrictive laws have passed in American states, abortion has been systematically excluded from health insurance pools under the new rules, and clinics have shuttered their doors. So-called "crisis pregnancy centers" that push an overtly anti-abortion agenda — including a new Jewish one — keep springing up.
I hate to beat the same drum I frequently have at The Sisterhood, but I'm alarmed. The simple fact is, they're winning. The anti-choice movement is winning on the ground and in terms of perception. Laura Tillman did an excellent investigative piece over at The Nation, indicating that even women with access to abortion are resorting to at-home, risky self-induced abortions rather than face the stigma and cost at the clinic. Tillman's piece asks the question: "Is the Post-Roe Era Already Here?" and seems to suggest that it is.
That's why we should applaud young women like Dina who aim to spread the word on campus, and try to avoid complacency in ourselves. As we reflect and listen to the Shofar calling us awake during these High Holy Days, we should keep in mind that our continued vigilance is desperately needed in this movement.

It looks like you're new here. If you want to get involved, click one of these buttons!
I entered this weekend. 30 weeks to prepare. Hoping it feels as flat as they have advertised and that they sort out the mess with the bags that they had in 2012.
Anyone else running this?
Thinking of it, done a few halfs but havent even got into the routine of regular running. Woudl you recommend as a good first marathon?
there's another, more popular thread on the MCR 2013 marathon, where the various merits are discussed by some people who have done it, and some who plan to do it next year. I fall into the latter category, so can't say whether it'd be good for a first i'm afraid.
I've just entered!!
I did Chester marathon this year in October, Fantastic, definitely great 1st marathon
Envious plodder: I ran M'cr last year as my first marathon and I'd say it's a good one, unless you prefer undulating terrain - it's very flat. The support last year from local residents was fantastic, despite the abominable weather. The race organisers do appear to have listened to last year's complains so I think the baggage will be better organised. And the weather is almost certain to be better than last year!
If you're wanting to do this, then start training NOW, increasing your mileage and the length of your long runs. If you want to follow a schedule closer to the race, then whichever schedule you choose, (a) when you start the scedule you want to already be running at least as much as it says you need to run in the first week, and preferably more; (b) start the schedule at least two weeks early (e.g. start a 16-week schedule 18 weeks before the race) to allow for illness/injury time. If you don't need the time off, you can always repeat a couple of weeks late in the schedule and be better trained than you would have been otherwise.
I'm in for this, hoping for 4:30hrs current PB is 5:01.
Just ticking over with the miles at the moment - averaging about 20ish miles and then start the plan from Jan.
Rob, maybe you should try something totally different for a month or so, e.g. trail running or cross-country. Just go out and enjoy yourself, explore the local coutryside, forget the speed training etc. and just enjoy running. Do a local parkrun if you want a challenge, or find a 10K trail race or something.

There's no word on what the team will actually do inside of Google, but it would be cool to see this technology implemented somehow. Aperture raised $4.1 million in venture funding before being acquired by Google.

It's National Peach Month!! Have you ever had a fried peach? It's like 3 minutes in Heaven, which I've actually never played that game, but the point is, WOW. Fried peaches are amazing. Gosh, that cinnamon sugary, fried sweet deliciousness.
Peaches always make me think of my mom's Dutch Oven Cobbler, and Peach Crisp, which are two of the most wonderful parts of any camping trip or summer dinner.
My family loved to go camping growing up. I hate that we still have not taken our children, but the fact remains-my husband would rather die than go camping. Maybe not truly die, but pretty close. He is a cabin man. I am a tent girl. I think it's fun to get all dirty, tired and explore nature, and the food is the best part. I don't know if it's from getting so tired from set up, hiking, building fires etc, or what, but I love dutch oven cooking.
These fried peaches remind me of the cobbler, camping days. Camping created such wonderful memories for my family. We played games, sang songs and always ended the night with a family campfire. These are the memories that we still love to talk. Every family needs to find a moment to head out to nature and "unplug". Back in the day (ha! I can't believe it really was so long ago) we didn't have to "unplug" from anything, but we still needed to get away from life.
What ways do you escape together?
Now, go grab a peach and let's fry that sucka! 😉
It's clearly getting a bit melty around here. 😉
Deep Fried Peaches and Ice Cream
- 1 cup Flour
- 1 Cup Milk
- 1 Tablespoon Sugar
- 1 Large Egg
- ¾ Teaspoon Baking Powder
- ¼ Teaspoon Sea Salt
- 4 Large Peaches, sliced in half, pit removed
- Cinnamon sugar
- Peanut Oil
- Fresh Raspberries
- Vanilla Ice Cream
- Fresh Whipped Cream
- Cinnamon Sugar
- Place the open peach halves on a cutting board and sprinkle with cinnamon sugar. Set aside for 30 minutes.
- Fill a pie dish or bowl with about ¾ Cup Cinnamon Sugar, set aside.
- Whisk together the flour, milk, sugar, egg, baking powder and sea salt. The batter should end up nice and smooth. Set aside.
- Fill a large pot with peanut oil (if you have allergies use Canola, peanut just heats up hotter and doesn't burn as fast). Heat over medium high heat. Once the oil begins to pop and snap (drop a little water in or put a wooden spoon handle to the bottom to test it) you are ready to go.
- Add each peach half to the batter and coat evenly. Quickly lift out and let drip a little, add to the hot oil. Fry for about 3 minutes (I swear my stove heats weird so keep an eye on these), turning occasionally, until lightly golden.
- Immediately drop the peach in the reserved cinnamon sugar, turning to coat. Set into ice cream dishes, top with ice cream, whipped cream, cinnamon sugar and fresh berries. Die and go to heaven, it's that good.

Hello, I am a mother of a 10 month old baby and currently 5 months pregnant. I am planning to get a mommy makeover in Dec '14. I am concerned about my tattoo but do not think I will need a full TT. I like the size of my breasts now but I know they will dry up and disappear after I stop breast feeding. I am a person who likes to plan waaaay ahead! Please HELP!
Full Tummy Tuck or Mini Tummy Tuck for Mother of Two with Tattoo Around Belly Button? Breast Aug or Breast Lift? (photo)

Full Tummy Tuck or Mini Tummy Tuck for Mother of Two with Tattoo Around Belly Button? Breast Aug or Breast Lift?
Very hard to comment even with posted photo if you are still breast feeding. And yoiu are not at your desired weight post pregnancy.
Full Tummy Tuck or Mini Tummy Tuck?
It is difficult to answer this based on a photo when you are 5 months pregnant, though I would predict that a full tummy tuck will be needed. It is also difficult to predict what your breasts will like like after you deliver and are done nursing, and whether you will only need a breast lift or a breast lift with implants for additional volume. You will need to be assessed by a plastic surgeon several months after you deliver and at least a few months after you are done nursing.

Mommy Makeover is an effective set of procedures
Since your are in the middle of your pregnancy, its tough to give definitive recommendations. A tummy tuck will surely leave you with only a portion of your tattoo. Seek the consultation of a board certified plastic surgeon several months after your delivery.

Full tummy tuck or mini tummy tuck ?
Thank you for your question. It seems that you're a candidate for a full tummy tuck, breast lift and liposuction . The use of implants should be a decision to consider during consultation with your plastic surgeon, though I do recommend if you're happy with larger breast. Best wishes.
Full or Mini TT? Breast Aug or Lift?
Dear Barbie,
Thank you for your post. It is very rare that someone will need only a mini tummy tuck after multiple pregnancies, and from the photos, I expect that you will need a full TT. This will remove the bottom half of the tattoo, and the top half of the tattoo will be below the belly button. You seem to be happier with the larger breasts, so just a simple lift will probably not satisfy you. Already, with your breasts fuller, you look like you need a lift, so with the limited information and no physical exam, I would recommend an augmentation and lift once your breasts are stable.
Best wishes,
Pablo Prichard, MD

Full Tummy Tuck or Mini Tummy Tuck for Mother of Two with Tattoo Around Belly Button? Breast Aug or Breast Lift?
Breasts- Based on the current photo, you will need to consider a breast lift to improve your breast appearance. Depending on whether you have enough volume, you may also want to consider an augmentation as well, but that decision will need to await the volume changes that may occur over the next year.
Abdomen--Again, what happens during the pregnancy and afterwards may change any current recommendation. Based on the current photos after the first pregnancy I can't quite see enough to tell if there is skin excess enough to suggest a TT or mini-TT. A full TT would trash the tattoo, and mini- perhaps not. A side view would help some. It may be that liposuction alone or in combination with a mini_TT would be recommended.
Good luck with the pregnancy, all the best.
Variations on the "mommy makeover" with a type of "mini" abdominoplasty
Let's work from the top down. Unless you have a crystal ball to see what your breasts will look like after this pregnancy in 14 months, you should be prepared for both the options of lift with augment or lift alone depending on your size. Your size before your present pregnancy may give you a ballpark idea of your size. Looking at your pictures it appears you do not have a significant amount of loose tummy skin. If you wind up with fullness and mild skin laxity after this pregnancy, you may be able to qualify for a muscle repair without the typical skin removal and scar. An effective combination is liposuction of the abdomen with a midline muscle repair. Some call it a "lipoabdominoplasty," but the point is that you don't have that scar going all the way across your pelvis. The muscle wall bulging is fixed and there is some tightening of the skin besides thinning from the lipo. These options should not effect your tattoo.

The perceptions held by adults and youth overestimate the percentage of teens that are sexually experienced (Child Trends, 2001).
The percentage of high school students who have had sexual intercourse has decreased from 54% to 50% in the last decade (Kaiser Family Foundation, 2000c).
Most Americans (7 out of 10) do not believe that sexuality education encourages sexual activity (Advocates for Youth & SIECUS, 1999)
Risk of STDs and pregnancy are primary influences in the sexual decision-making of older teens (ages 15 to 17). Younger teens (ages 12 to 14) are more likely to cite parents, teachers, and religious advisors as primary influences (Kaiser Family Foundation, 2000b).
Sexual health is an essential part of good overall health and well-being. Sexuality is a part of human life and human development. Good sexual health implies not only the absence of disease, but the ability to understand and weigh the risks, responsibilities, outcomes, and impacts of sexual actions, to be knowledgeable of and comfortable with one's body, and to be free from exploitation and coercion. Whereas good sexual health is significant across the life span, it is critical in adolescent health.
Adolescence signifies the onset of physical/sexual maturation and reproductive capacity. Young people have a need and a right to know about their bodies and to be educated and informed about their sexual health, yet they face many social, political, and community barriers to receiving and gaining access to the right information. Sex is often a challenging and difficult issue for both youths and adults to discuss. The consequences of not talking about sex, however, can be severe:
Social workers' involvement with youths and families often is related to a sexual health issue, including maternal and child health, unintended pregnancy, sexual abuse and assault, or other problematic behaviors that occur with youths individually or with their family and community system. Our proactive involvement on the issue is critical to help youths navigate the barrage of conflictual messages about sex.
Making good decisions and responsible choices about sexual activity during the teenage years can have immediate and lasting implications for overall health outcomes. How teenagers make decisions about relationships, abstaining or participating in sex, and protecting themselves and others from sexually transmitted diseases and pregnancy is influenced by numerous factors. Parents, peers, the media, access to education and services, and a host of other factors influence decisions and subsequent health outcomes. Understanding the context of decision making and the social influences provides significant insight for effective health interventions. It gives instructive guidance for social workers' individual work with youths and families, as well as programmatic and policy implications. Young people, sexually active or not, are influenced by a range of individual and social factors:
The role of parents in the lives and decision-making processes of youths is often underestimated. Although the transition to greater independence is the hallmark of this developmental phase, parents clearly have a role and exert significant influence in the choices young people make about sex.
The peer group is an important factor in adolescent development and has some bearing on teenagers' decisions about sex.
Youths who resist engaging in sexual activity tend to have friends who are abstinent as well. They also tend to have strong personal beliefs in abstinence and the perception of negative parental reactions. Youths who are sexually active tend to believe that most of their friends are sexually active as well, that rewards outweigh the costs of sexual involvement, that sex overall is rewarding, and that it is all right for unmarried adolescents over age 16 to engage in intercourse (Advocates for Youth, 1997).
The images that pervade the media (television, music videos, the Internet, and the like), are increasingly more explicit in sexual content.
The circle of influence on sexual decision-making extends beyond the individual and family system. Key considerations of these extended influences include:
The Surgeon General's Call to Action to Promote Sexual Health and Responsible Sexual Behavior (2001), has helped to frame the dialogue on sex and sexuality in a manner that highlights the importance of good sexual health and identifies core components of responsible sexual behavior that will positively impact individual and public health goals. Social workers working on behalf of health, youths, and families can use these concepts in a manner that promotes prevention and positive youth development.
Individual responsibilities include
Community responsibility includes assurance that individuals have
This framework can serve as the basis for workshops, counseling sessions, prevention programs, and other related services.
Much of the attention to adolescent sexual health is dominated by teenage pregnancy prevention. Although this focus is laudable, it is equally important to address the multiplicity of issues that lead young people to early experiences with sex and potential parenthood. In addition, it is important that young people who need services and assistance be able to gain access to systems of care and help before a pregnancy, which is often when young girls are identified.
Assisting all youths in establishing and maintaining good sexual health requires a focus on the appropriate socialization and behaviors of both females and males.
Helping young people establish healthy relationships and communication with their peers and partners, to be mutually respectful of one another, and to support greater equity in relationships and sexual decision making can make a difference in health outcomes.
Because of our unique roles and diversified practice areas, social workers have the opportunity to bring to bear more contemporary understanding of youth sexual behavior and subsequent outcomes. Issues of mental health, depression, low self-esteem, and feelings of hopelessness may encourage adolescent participation in intimate relationships. The need for intimacy and connection, coupled with the mortality rates of young men, particularly African American men, are important concepts to consider, particularly as they relate to teenage pregnancy.

" Brand: Collection 2000 "
Collection 2000 Cheek Tint
What is it?
Some liquid cream blusher.
Special features?
This is blusher but in cream form, it has light refective particles that make the cheek glisten and radiate, and the mixture also contains vitamin E.
What do I think?
I can't remember why I bought this, as I don't really ever use cream blusher anymore. I never really do because I find that crème blushers are usually quite concentrated and are quite difficult to blend properly and I am always worried that I'm going to end up like some theatrical pantomime doll. I must have got this from a promotion or something, I've had this for a good few years and have just dug out of one of my drawers when I was cleaning it out!
The blusher comes in a very small 10ml tube and it's just a case of squeezing a little bit out to apply onto your cheeks. The consistency is a little grainy, I think this is from the glitter ot the 'light reflective particles' as they like to call them, that has been mixed in there so that it gives some kind of radiating shiny look. I am always careful not to apply too much of this as I know it's very easy to apply too much even when you think you have put on very little. The cream does appear very concentrated and after applying just a small seed sized amount onto my face, the effect is not really as I had hoped. When you apply too little, there really isn't much colour in it, it is easy to blend in, bu after a lot of patting and rubbing. There is definitely a lot of glistening.
When I try to apply more, to get more colour on, you get more glitter, and the more there is of it, it becomes a bit more difficult to blend in and also the layer of glistening coating is also more prominent on my face. This probably more suitable for younger girls, preparing for a night out at the disco, not really appropriate for those who need to go into work, and this goes the same for the college Saturday girls...
It costs about £2.49 and it looks so appealing for that little tube, and it does look as if its ready to be used in some art project - the colour looks very rich when you squeeze it out from the tube, but very thin in colour when you apply it to the face...
Really not too sure or keen on this one...
Thanks for reading.

Collection 2000 has recently become one of my favourite make up brands, as it offers affordable, good quality make up, an essential for me as a poor student!! This is a product I bought a while ago, but it's lasted a long time and I do like it better than a lot of the other blushers I have tried over recent years. Sadly, I think it's been discontinued as I haven't been able to find it in my local Boots. They do have a similar product, according to their website, called 'The Cheek Of It'.
A little tube, it has the 'Collection 2000' band at the top of the tube, which is clear for the rest of that. The 'lid', as the tube is upside down, is silver and you just unscrew it and then squeeze a small amount out to stain your cheeks using your finger.
The tube is 10ml, contains vitamin E and is fragrance free. You don't need much product, as the colour is strong and this can be an issue as it's easy to squeeze out too much. The cheek tint lasts all day and is a good consistency: quite light.

Republicans in search of some good news on a bad day might do well to consider the returns in Arizona, where the news for Democrats was disspiriting. One of the party's brightest hopes in the state was Richard Carmona, a charismatic candidate whose stump speech was full of autobiography. He was raised in New York, in a poor Puerto Rican family; after serving in Vietnam, in the Special Forces, he created for himself a dual career in medicine and in law enforcement. Although he was running for the Senate as a Democrat, he had served as the Surgeon General under President George W. Bush.
When he campaigned in Arizona earlier this year, Carmona knew he was an underdog. His likely opponent, Jeff Flake, was a popular congressman who had cast himself as an opponent of earmark abuse—a platform well suited to this year's climate of fiscal anxiety. But Carmona was confident that he had a good chance to win, especially if he could engage Latino voters in the state; the idea was that Latino voters, energized by the controversy over S.B. 1070, Arizona's contentious immigration law, might help propel him to victory. Carmona opposed 1070, while Flake's position was more complicated. (He hadn't initially supported the bill, but ultimately urged the Supreme Court not to overturn it, in deference to state sovereignty.)
Carmona campaigned hard enough to make Flake pay attention to him; on Monday, Democrats accused the Flake campaign of organizing robocalls to Democratic voters which gave them incorrect information about where to vote. (The Flake campaign responded, persuasively, that the calls, which urged recipients to vote for Flake, had been intended for Republican voters.) But the
Voters in Arizona will disagree, of course, about both the definition and desirability of "moderation." But on a day when Democrats nationally performed strongly, thanks in part to strong support from Latino voters, Arizona seemed largely immune to these trends. According to exit polls, Latino voters made up about eleven per cent of Obama's total
Not coincidentally, many other races in Arizona brought good news for Republicans: Joe Arpaio, the defiant sheriff of Maricopa County, fended off his Democratic challenger, Paul Penzone; in Pinal County, Paul Babeu, whose career was nearly destroyed by a scandal, was returned to office, too. And Ron Barber, a Democratic congressman who won a special election this summer to serve the last few months of Gabrielle Giffords's term, is hoping to survive a very close race against Martha McSally, the Republican challenger.
The dream, for Arizona Democrats, was that the state would become the next California, which has been a Democratic stronghold for nearly two decades thanks partly to the arguments surrounding Proposition 187, an immigration-enforcement law. Arizona may yet turn purple, or even blue, but yesterday's results proved that it's not there yet. Robert Robb, a columnist for the Arizona Republic, argues that "Democrats are still in denial about what an uphill climb it is for them to win a statewide race." Perhaps they are. But surely they see their task more clearly today than they did yesterday.

He's famous for his achievements on the race track, but Kiwi motorsport legend Greg Murphy has two lesser known passions -- helicopters and cycling.
As the V8 SuperTourer driver turns 42 in August, he is focusing on his health -- and that of fellow Kiwi males. Murphy was a Men's Health Week ambassador, alongside the likes of rugby legend Michael Jones and comedian Mike King.
As part of the campaign, there is an online What's Your Score test (menshealthweek.co.nz) that men can take for the whole of June to give them their annual health score. Murphy scored an impressive 34.
He became involved in the event because "men are not taking care of themselves, and accepting that things go wrong and you need to get it checked".
For Murphy, having a full medical yearly is a given as he needs one for his racing licence, and since he turned 40 he needs a biannual check-up for his helicopter licence.
"I've had a medical check-up for at least 20 years. I know that I'm being checked every year thoroughly by having a proper medical, so I suppose I'm ahead of the game," he said.
"There are still things that you don't necessarily get checked when you have a medical that is important, such as the prostate side of things when you get to 40.
"It's good to remind people because we can be told something and very quickly the importance of it drops away."
To stay racing fit, Hawkes Bay-based Murphy cycles most days as he doesn't like going to the gym or running, and instead stays "active".
As a dad to three young children, he wants the energy to "ride a mountain bike and in summer do water sports".
"I don't want to have to sit on the sidelines because I'm unhealthy or unfit," he said.
He hasn't been sitting on the sidelines recently -- instead he was asked by one of his son's teachers to join a social football team, where Murphy played mid-field.
"It was a bit of a shock. I hadn't played a team sport like that in over 20 years, so I really enjoyed it."
He's also hoping that now he's in Hawkes Bay, after living in Melbourne for the majority of his full-time V8 Supercars career, he can spend more time flying helicopters.
"When I was very young my father worked for a company in Hawkes Bay, managing a few helicopters out of Bridge Pa aerodrome and I was always tagging along. I was always fascinated with helicopters from an early age. I always wanted to get my licence."
But it wasn't until 2005, while in Australia, that Murphy finally got his licence and since then has flown 270 hours, including a few trips in the helicopter featured here in Driven -- a 650 horsepower MD550FF powered by a single Rolls-Royce 250-C30 engine.
So, do Murphy's motorsport skills help him as a helicopter pilot?
"I don't know. I think a big part of it is that I'm fascinated with understanding why they fly and all the physics of it all. I enjoy knowing about all that. If you're competent about why they fly then it could make you a better pilot."
While the next round of the V8 SuperTourers doesn't start until September when Murphy will compete in his Holden in Australia with his M3 Racing team, he is busy with his role as Motor Trade Association spokesman (see left), plus presenting on Sky TV's show Skyspeed.
He also recently raised at an auction at Hampton Downs nearly $17,000 for stem cell research, to help find a cure for Type 1 diabetes.
Thank you to Oceania Aviation Ltd, Ardmore aerodrome, for the use of the helicopter and their hangar for this shoot (www.oceania-aviation.com).
Safety tips for young drivers
Greg Murphy is a spokesman for the Motor Trade Association and talks at New Zealand high schools about road safety. Last week he spoke at seven colleges in the Central Plateau and Rotorua region.
Here are Murphy's three top tips for young drivers.
1. Getting professional training is important. Relying on parents to do it is not the right thing to do because parents - if they haven't done any training themselves - may pass on bad habits.
2. Practise driving as often as possible and obey the restricted licence rules. That is absolutely critical. Do not think that you are a competent driver.
3. Be aware of what is going on around you. Just because you are doing the right thing doesn't mean you won't get caught up in other people's mistakes. You must always be ready.

Tired of CNN's relentless breaking news alerts? Well, what if the news network got in the pregnancy test business? Instead of receiving numerous updates about the search for missing Malaysia Airlines Flight 370, a woman can now rely on CNN as it routinely informs her that it's still determining her pregnancy. Take a look at the SNL parody:
'SNL': The CNN Breaking News Pregnancy Test
5 Comments
The cue card reading is pitiful. Stupid skit.
It's a pre-taped sketch, moron, no one's reading cue cards.
This is a pretty hilarious takedown of CNN.
Was one of the better skits of the night. Props.
Nice work considering it must have been conceived, written, and shot after the planet started making fun of CNN for its demented Malaysian plane coverage. And, um, yeah, no cue cards involved.
Something that actually turned out to be funny on that show for once, with everything else still being unfunny and lame.
Give it one more season and just cancel this show already NBC!

Free Ski & Ride Program Launched
Free Ski & Ride Program Launched
The launch of the fourth season of the Fourth Graders Ski & Ride Passport Program, which introduces fourth-grade students to winter mountain recreation in New York State, was announced by Charles A. Gargano, Chairman of Empire State Development (ESD), which administers the I Love New York campaign.
"With this innovative program, everyone wins," said Gargano. "It encourages outdoor recreation during the winter months, removes cost as a significant barrier to trying skiing and snowboarding, and encourages family recreation in New York State through incentives designed to get children and parents mountain sliding together."
Under the Fourth Graders Ski & Ride Passport Program, the New York State mountain resort industry is offering unmatched and unprecedented skiing and snowboarding values to any fourth-grade student, whether or not they are from New York State, for the 2002-03 winter season. Eligible students will receive a "Passport" book containing three coupons for free skiing and/or snowboarding at each of the participating ski areas in New York State. The cost is a $10 processing fee.
The Fourth Grade Ski & Ride Passport Program is open to all New York State students currently in the fourth grade. Applications are being distributed to the state's fourth graders through each school district's Parent Teachers Association. They are also available online at www.44free.com.
To participate, students fill out the application and submit it along with a copy of a report card or similar school grading report for the 2002-03 school year, which is needed to confirm eligibility. Eligible students will receive in the mail a Fourth Graders Ski & Ride Passport book and an official 2002-03 I LOVE NEW YORK Winter Guide. The Passport book contains coupons that entitle the students to three lift passes.
Upon receipt of the Passport book, students "activate" it by affixing their photograph to its inside cover. Additionally, a parent or guardian must accompany students and acquire a valid lift pass on the day in which Passport book coupons are redeemed. Up to two Passport book coupons can be redeemed for every adult lift pass that is purchased.
Passport coupons can be exchanged for an all day or night ticket any day during the 2002-03 ski season, including Saturdays and Sundays. Some areas have holiday period blackouts. Holiday periods are designated as December 23, 2002 to January 1, 2003; January 18 – 20, 2003; and February 15 – 23, 2003. Coupons are non-transferable and can only be used by the fourth grader whose picture appears in the Passport book. Coupons must also be used in the school year issued (i.e. 2002-03) season) and cannot be carried forward into future years.
The Fourth Graders Ski & Ride Passport Program is being administered in cooperation with Ski Areas of New York, Inc. (SANY), a statewide trade association that represents the collective interests of the state's mountain resort industry.
"By bringing this program to all fourth graders, the State's ski areas are making a solid commitment to extend the wonders of skiing and snowboarding to everyone," says SANY President Dick Gouwens. "Winter is truly a spectacular time of year in New York and getting out and enjoying the brisk, cool mountain air and fabulous scenery is something every child should have the opportunity to savor."
