Estelle Reiner – RIP
I don't think AnnaLynne McCord is all that or anything, but I do hope the fine people at Blackberry or Verizon will take it upon their kind souls to go ahead and send me a new Storm free of charge. Yeah, yeah, I'm whoring myself out, but I want that phone. I don't ask for a lot and I really don't shamelessly plug things except for friends, but I want that phone and I'm not going to apologize for it.
Beyonce in Japan waving to an imaginary crowd. She thinks they should be there so they are. It works on the same principle as she thinks we should care about her career. But, we don't so there is a flaw in her theory.
Holy crap Batman, Bai Ling is wearing clothes.
When I saw this photo I was reminded of the line from Sixteen Candles where the grandmother says something like, "Oh, look. Samantha got her boobies." And then she gave them a squeeze.
Corey Feldman looks like he is already preparing for that Jackson 5 reunion tour for next year with Janet opening. It is going to be named "We Need Money Your 2009"

It's Catherine Tate and Zachary Quinto. Dr. Who won some award, but honestly was too lazy to check to see what it was.
DJ AM back at work. I'm glad.
Is it sacrilege for me to say that to me Danni Minogue is my choice in the family for who I would rather date? I just think she would be more fun.
Wow. Fergie is going to star in the new FOX show, "When Chemical Peels Go Bad."
Only Grace Jones would wear Hammer pants. Oh, you thought I would make fun of the fur or the veil?
My favorite photo of the day by far. Gwen Stefani and the baby look gorgeous. And she didn't sell them. Nice.
I owe so many good nights to this man right here. Some really awful mornings, but some really good nights. This is John Paul DeJoria. He is the owner of Patron Spirits and my hero. I may cry here. Hang on.
Probably the best photo of Kristen Stewart I have seen.
Yeah, it's Kate Walsh. Next. OK, I do like the dress. Compliment made. Next please.
Notice the subtlety of the middle finger Lily Allen displays.
Leona Lewis – London
Macy Gray doesn't have a boyfriend does she? Wow, I would not want to get into an argument with her.
I know. They made the Michael Jackson wax figurine a tranny.
I am going to leave it up to you to decide if Nicollete Sheridan looks good here. I am on the fence about it.
Someone who always looks good is Olga Kureyenko.
"Ahh. I wish we still were allowed to punish people by hanging them. Unfortunately we have laws now, so…"
How many times a day do you think Dr. Phil's wife tells him to stfu?
That must have been an interesting conversation. And yes, that is the mother of the baby.

"So, I told Clay it could be a hornet and a tick that are doing it. It don't matter unless the sun comes out."
So, if I were to pick two people to go get drunk with, I've decided that it would be Prince William and Harry.
Robert Pattinson looks much better than yesterday.
But if you want that Twilight scare you out of your mind look, here you do.
Simon Cowell and Andrew Lloyd Webber. Nice combination.
So, what do you think the purpose of this party was? Any guesses? To sell eye wear. Yep. Makes sense.

' A Letter to Three Wives' Opens at Music Hall -- 'Man From Colorado' at Capitol
Within the absorbing contents of "A Letter to Three Wives," Joseph L Mankiewicz is peddling some pretty good wisdom and advice. The wisdom, tucked off in corners of this tri-paneled comedy-romance, is that love is a volatile something which can quickly evaporate unless it is constantly guarded with understanding and care. And the advice, angled mainly to the ladies, is never to speak harsh words (or such) to their true-loving husbands who may leave them and never return.
Indeed, it is just such a prospect—the prospect of hubby taking off—which suddenly confronts the three mesdames of the title in the Music Hall's new film. Just as they're starting out one mornin to take some kids on a river-boat picnic, these three country-club wives in a small town get a letter from a local friend. The friend very graciously informs them that she is eloping with the husband of one. Provokingly, however, she fails to tell them the husband of which.
And so, while these three anxious ladies are shanghaied all day with the kids, they have plenty of time to wonder—and reflect on their married lives. The one who snagged her helpmate while he was a sailor and she a Wave has little more to disturb her than the thought that she lacks sufficient "class." But the one who is a radio-writer and has been letting her mind get rather blunt has the disquieting realization that she has fallen a bit beneath her spouse. And the third one—the hard-boiled gold-digger who deliberately roped her hard-boiled man—has the frightening knowledge that, while she loves him, they have each let the other down.
Thus, in the reflections of these ladies, Mr. Mankiewicz cleverly evolves an interesting cross-sectioned picture of the small-town younger-married set. And as writer as well as director, he has capably brought forth a film which has humor, scepticism, satire and gratifying romance.
The fact that so many paces are put on display in this film forewarns that a certain unevenness is likely to occur. And it must be admitted frankly that the whole thing is not in perfect time. The earlier phases are draggy and just a bit obvious. And because this is so, the episodes involving Jeanne Crain as the ex-Wave and Ann Sothern as the radio-writer do less to enhance those stars.
But the final romantic remembrance—that of the hard-boiled wife—is a taut and explosive piece of satire, as funny and as poignant as it is shrewd. And it is played with coruscating vigor by Linda Darnell in the gold-digger role and by Paul Douglas as the rough-cut big-shot whom she tangles with frank and ancient wiles. Indeed, this one rough-and-tumble between Mr. Douglas and Miss Darnell is deliciously rugged entertainment, the real salvation of the film.
For in it are also included Connie Gilchrist as Miss Darnell's old ma and Thelma Ritter as a beerguzzling neighbor with remarkable and funny things to say. And the blatherskite performances of these two, punctuated with rowdy backhand swipes, give a wonderful shanty-town setting to a vulgar yet pathetic romance.
It wouldn't be fair to tell you whose husband it is that runs away. But the outcome is thoroughly satisfactory—and so is the film—by us.
On the stage at the Music Hall are Jean Gibbons, Robert Hayden, Paul Winchell and Jerry Mahoney, Francis Hin Lowe with Jean Letourneau, Giselle and Francois Szony, the Corps de Ballet, Glee Club and Rockettes.
A LETTER TO THREE WIVES, screen play by Joseph L. Mankiewicz, from the Vera Caspary adaptation of John Klempner's story; directed by Mr. Mankiewicz; produced by Sol C. Siegel for Twentieth Century-Fox. At the Music Hall.

The pandemic H1N1 influenza virus can develop resistance to the commonly used antiviral drugs much faster than expected, federal researchers said Friday. Previous research had suggested that it would take 24 days or longer for resistance to the drugs to develop in a patient, but a new study reported in the journal Clinical Infectious Diseases found that resistance could appear in as little as nine days. The study also found that one patient developed resistance to the experimental intravenous drug peramavir, the first time clinically significant resistance to that drug has been observed.
Dr. Matthew J. Memoli and Dr. Jeffrey K. Taubenberger of the National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases reported on two immunocompromised patients who developed persistent swine flu infections. Both patients had undergone blood stem cell transplants several years earlier. The resistant form of the virus appeared in one patient after 14 days and in the second after nine days.
Both patients received oseltamivir (Tamiflu) for extended periods, but continued to shed virus -- a sign that the virus had developed resistance to the drug. When one patient's condition worsened despite 24 days of treatment, he was given peramivir for 10 days. The patient continued shedding virus, indicating that the virus had become resistant to that drug too. Laboratory tests confirmed the resistance. The patient was then given the only remaining antiviral, zanamivir (Relenza) for 10 days and fully recovered. Zanamivir must be inhaled, however, and many seriously ill patients are not able to take it for that reason.

and Provost's Awards: 2003 Winners
Lindback Awards--for members
of the standing faculty--and Provost's Awards--given since
1988 to full- and part-time associated faculty and academic
support staff--are as much a sign of spring at Penn as are
al fresco classes on College Green and flowers and trees
blooming all over campus.
Reception: April 24
Lindback Society cordially
invites all members of the
University community
to attend a reception honoring
the recipients of the
Provost's and
Christian R. and Mary F. Lindback
Awards for Distinguished Teaching
April 24 from
4:30–6 p.m. in the
Hall of Flags, Houston Hall
the Non-Health Schools
Dr. Carlos
Dr. Carlos
Alonso arrived at Penn in 2000 as the Edwin B. and Leonore
R. Williams Professor of Romance Languages. In that short
time, he has been instrumental in the redesign of the
undergraduate curriculum. The course, Spanish 219 "Contexts
of Hispanic Civilization," stands out as a major
curricular innovation and Professor Alonso has been the
main force behind the design and implementation of the
course which is fast becoming a model for Spanish departments
across the country. He is equally effective with graduate
students as a colleague reports: "The depth of Carlos's
commitment to graduate education is, in my mind, simply
unparalleled." A graduate student notes: "Carlos
has become nothing short of a hero to the graduate students
in Romance Language." Students repeatedly remark
on the help he gives graduate students in preparing for
the job market, offering a seminar on the MLA convention
and job interviewing, preparing mock interviews, and
reading every writing sample." Another student describing
Dr. Alonso's impact writes: "His vision of an intellectual
collectivity based on dynamism and rigor is contagious
and has created energy and excitement on the fifth floor
of Williams Hall." A student concludes: "Carlos
Alonso has been by far the greatest and most positive
influence on my intellectual formation. He is deserving
of this prestigious award."

Dr. Alan Johnson
Dr. Alan T.
Charlie Johnson received his Ph.D. in Physics from Harvard
University and joined the faculty at Penn in 1994. He
receives consistently high ratings in courses noted for
their difficulty and rigor. He has a remarkable capacity
to turn students on to physics. Students in his class
apply themselves as a result of the sheer effort that
Dr. Johnson gives to his classes each week. A student
writes: "I am very fortunate to have had Professor
Johnson as my first physics teacher at Penn, and even
more so to have had him as a mentor for my very first
research project--the pinnacle of my undergraduate career
and the reason for my decision to pursue graduate school
in physics." Another comments, "Dr. Johnson's
enthusiasm has furthered my own passion for physics and
science in general." A number of his students have
gone on to graduate work at top universities and one
wrote, "It was Charlie's support that helped me
decide to pursue a graduate degree. My success in the
admissions process was owed in no small part to his support
but also to his guidance in everything from studying
for GRE's to giving me a solid understanding of the physics." A
colleague writes: "Charlie is an excellent ambassador
for physics for students who might not have chosen physics
as a course of study." An enthusiastic student summarizes: "You
can't improve on Professor Johnson--he simply is the
to top
Dr. Vicky
Dr. Vicky Mahaffey
received her Ph.D. from Princeton University and joined
the faculty at Penn in the English department in 1979.
She is the recipient of the Al Filreis Award for Excellence
in Departmental Teaching and the Ira Abrams Award for
Distinguished Teaching. A faculty member writes: "Her
colleagues all admire and some of us wish to emulate
the deep connection she makes with both her undergraduate
and graduate students." Numerous letters from former
students attest to the lasting impact Dr. Mahaffey has
had on those she has taught and mentored. One student
wrote: "She was the best teacher I have ever had
and my education has continued through medical school
and residency training," while another notes: "How
would I rate Professor Mahaffey's teaching? Excellent,
perhaps great, I'm tempted to say perfect." Another
notes, "Her class changed the way I look at the
world. It has been a privilege to be in Dr. Mahaffey's
class. The command of knowledge, sincerity, concern for
students are all exceptional. I remember thinking on
finishing her Modernism course that I had never been
so emotionally or intellectually exhausted by a class
in my life. Professor Mahaffey has unquestionably proven
that her students and their education is her first priority.
She is the epitome of teaching excellence."
Dr. Liliane Weissberg
Liliane Weissberg joined the faculty of German and Comparative
Literature in 1989. Since that time "Professor Weissberg
has distinguished herself as an inspired and inspiring
teacher, as a pedagogical model, as a brilliant researcher
and as a warm and generous friend." Her classes
are "a sheer intellectual treat," "one
of the most engaging professors I've had in four years
at Penn." "Don't let the fact that this course
is taught in German scare you away--it is the most fun
I've had at Penn." "Dr. Weissberg is my academic
role model." Both students and colleagues remark
on Dr. Weissberg's energy and enthusiasm, her wide range
of interests and her dedication to students and her vitality
both in and outside the classroom. "In giving Professor
Weissberg this honor the University will acknowledge
the work of those exceptional individuals who view being
a professor as a multifaceted endeavor where community
and scholarly activity are inextricably linked and crucial
to the University as a whole." A faculty colleague
remarks: "Her dedication to all students whether
freshmen, students in a pilot curriculum course, German
majors, or graduate students, regardless of department
is total." "Dr. Weissberg is animated, exciting
and brilliant; her class is a one-of-a-kind opportunity
at Penn. I know of no other person as deserving of this
Eisenhower is a senior Fellow and heads the Institute
for Public Service of the Annenberg Public Policy Center.
Letters repeatedly mentioned Professor Eisenhower's availability
to students remarking: "Professor Eisenhower is
the most accessible Professor I have ever had at Penn" and "He
spends practically forty hours a week in office hours." A
student wrote: "Each class with Professor Eisenhower
was a true learning experience. I found myself transformed
into a world of living history." Another notes "I
have never learned so much from one person nor had my
interest piqued in the way Professor Eisenhower did." "His
office door is always open for discussion of the course
material, history and current events." Another student
writes: "How many professors drive all night to
meet their students at the Franklin D. Roosevelt Library
in Rhinebeck, New York in order to offer his personal
insight on a particular primary source for a research
paper?" An Annenberg School colleague observes, "David
is an outstanding teacher--caring, unselfish, and unconditionally
attentive." Commenting on his lasting influence
a student writes: "I would like to follow in the
footsteps of a distinguished teacher like David Eisenhower."
the Health Schools
Dr. Kenneth
Dr. Kenneth
Drobatz joined the faculty of the Veterinary School in
1991. He won the Resident's Award for Outstanding Teaching
in 1996, 1999, and 2001, as well as The Norden Distinguished
Teaching Award in 2002. He has consistently received
the highest scores on course evaluations with one student
writing that Dr. Drobatz's class is outstanding despite
being on Friday afternoon. Colleagues were equally enthusiastic
about Dr. Drobatz's teaching noting "Ken's strength
is that he regularly inspires his students; he gets his
students to think logically and calmly about critical
care. The enrollment for the elective courses he teaches
is always close to 100% of the class--students want to
be taught by him." "It is to his credit that
all of our residents have passed the specialty-certifying
exam, no small feat, as the pass rate is only 50-70%." A
former student writes: "Dr. Drobatz is one of the
best clinical instructors I have ever had. Over the past
five years I have seen him head the emergency service,
head the residency program, head the intern program and
find the time to receive a master's degree in statistics." Through
his example he challenges his students to go one step
further. He is indeed an outstanding candidate for the
Lindback Award.
Dr. J. Sanford Schwartz
Dr. J. Sanford
Schwartz received his M.D. from the University of Pennsylvania
and joined the Department of Medicine in 1975. A colleague
describes him as one of the most outstanding, dedicated,
creative, enthusiastic, and sought after educators in
the School of Medicine and the medical center. He has
already been awarded the Excellence in Teaching and the
Outstanding Teacher Award from the School of Medicine.
Students wrote consistently about his role as mentor
noting "he influenced me to pursue a career in academic
medicine," and " Dr. Schwartz is the best teacher
and mentor that I have encountered in my educational
career." Some of his students reported that Dr.
Schwartz has changed their careers, others that he has
changed their lives. "When Sandy is your mentor
you become part of his extended family." One of
his important roles as mentor is in helping students
to discover their true passions. "That he devotes
so much time and effort to teaching, mentoring and career
development at the University of Pennsylvania, the School
of Medicine and the Penn Health System and that he does
so in such an outstanding fashion reflects Sandy's fundamental
commitment to education." He is clearly someone
who loves medicine and who loves teaching.
Dr. Donald Siegel
Dr. Donald
Siegel received his Ph.D. in Biophysics from Harvard
University and M.D. from the University of Pennsylvania.
He is the recipient of numerous teaching awards including
the Berwick Resident Award, the Peter C. Nowell Department
Teaching Award and the School of Medicine's Leonard Berwick
Memorial Teaching Award. As a teacher Dr. Siegel links
science to medicine and medicine to real life. "With
the unique perspective of someone well trained both in
basic science and in the practice of medicine, Don is
a rare talent in the classroom and in the laboratory
and clinic." "Don is an outstanding and evocative
teacher. He is incredibly dynamic. His Path 305 course
consistently receives the top ratings among all elective
courses and students rave that "his organization
is impeccable, his delivery engaging, his meshing of
the basic and clinical sciences seamless, and his enthusiasm
contagious." Several former students mention that
they have chosen to specialize in the field of Blood
Banking/Transfusion Medicine because of the influence
of Dr. Siegel. A former student concludes: "Dr.
Siegel proved to be an exceptional lecturer; he entertained
us, amused us, forced us to think and allowed'
us to understand the material. He is truly a gifted teacher."
Dr. Nancy Tkacs
Dr. Nancy Tkacs received
her BSN and MSN from Penn's School of Nursing and her
Ph.D. from Loyola University in Chicago. A colleague
writes of Dr. Tkacs: "she has the wonderful advantage
of being both a nurse and a research scientist; she has
the incredible ability to teach complex content to a
group of students with varying science backgrounds and
of different disciplines. She has been a valued teacher
to many medical and bioengineering students." Dr.
Tkacs often has student workers involved in her laboratory
projects and has influenced the careers of several nursing
doctoral students. Students wrote again and again about
her role as a mentor, noting "I would not have made
it through the Ph.D. program without her," "she
is a mentor who leads by example. I can only say that
I was extremely fortunate to have such a role model guiding
my career." A colleague reports: "Nancy arranged
web based chat rooms and bulletin boards, responded promptly
to e-mail inquiries, scheduled study group sessions,
and, as always, left her office and lab doors open for
impromptu discussions." Another notes, "Dr.
Tkacs is not only an excellent educator, but her research
has greatly enhanced the teaching of her colleagues.
As a pediatric faculty member and an endocrine nurse
practitioner, her research on hypoglycemia has greatly
informed my practice; I wholeheartedly endorse her for
the Lindback."
Dr. Lucy Rorke
Dr. Lucy Rorke
came to Penn from the University of Minnesota where she
earned her medical degree and has been a member of the
Penn family since l958. "Dr. Rorke is a demanding
educator who is passionate about her discipline." She
is a member of numerous national medical societies and
has been on the editorial board of six medical journals.One
former student commented, "It is 23 years since
I worked with Dr. Rorke in Philadelphia and my recollections
of her teaching are still clear today." As a pediatric
pathologist she is internationally known and has taught
many if not most of the pediatric neuropathologists in
this country and abroad. Many letters describe her teaching
as distinguished. "Dr. Rorke communicated a depth
of intellectual commitment to Neuropathology that was
both stunning and infectious. I caught her enthusiasm
and it quite literally changed my life." A former
student concludes: "Throughout my training at the
University of Pennsylvania, from my years as an undergraduate
through Residency and Fellowship, my life has been enriched
by any number of wonderful teachers, I state without
qualification that among those truly outstanding professors,
Dr. Lucy Rorke stands at the head of the class."

Christian R. and
Mary F. Lindback Awards at the University of Pennsylvania:
Awarded for Distinguished Teaching
The Lindback
Awards for Distinguished Teaching at the University
of Pennsylvania were established in 1961 with the help
of the Christian R. and Mary F. Lindback Foundation.
Christian Lindback was President and principal owner
of Abbotts Dairies Inc. and a Trustee of Bucknell University.
The Foundation established Lindback Awards for Distinguished
Teaching at colleges and universities throughout Abbotts
Dairies Inc.'s service area in New Jersey, Pennsylvania,
Maryland, Delaware, and Virginia.
University of Pennsylvania normally gives out eight
Lindback awards
each year, divided evenly between health-related disciplines
and all other departments and divisions. Award winners
are determined by nominations and recommendations made
by faculty and students in December based on certain
guidelines. Two separate committees, one in the Health
Schools and one in the Non-Health Schools consisting
of six previous award winners and four students, carefully
decide among the nominees. Winners receive a Lindback
Foundation scroll and a cash award of $3,000. During
the 1960s, Lindback awards were presented at Commencement.
the 1970s, previous winners of the Lindback Award organized
themselves into a Lindback Society, which supported
efforts to improve teaching and hosted an annual reception
for Lindback Award winners after the actual presentation
of the awards at Hey Day (May 1) Ceremonies. Currently,
the Provost presents Lindback awards at a reception
in late April. The Lindback Society was revived in
the late 1980s and sponsored, in conjunction with the
College of Arts and Sciences, essays by faculty members
on teaching that were published as "Talk About
Teaching" in Almanac, the University's
journal of record.
-- Adapted
From the
University Archives and Records Center website,
October of 1987, the Office of the Provost announced
the establishment
of two additional Penn teaching awards--one in a Health
School and one in a Non-Health School--to be given
annually in recognition of distinguished teaching by
associated faculty or academic support staff. The Guidelines
for the selection of award recipients are the same
as those given for the Lindback Awards, and the selection
processes and deadlines are the same. The first recipients
of the Provost's Awards were Nora Magid of SAS and
Paul Orsini of Veterinary Medicine (Almanac April
5, 1988).

OK, so i live in an area where i don't have a lot of choice for an out of hospital birth. i had my 2nd son unassisted because of this. bottom line...i found a midwife by the seat of my pants with my 3rd. she came for the birth the next day. very nice of her, i was very thankful. i paid her cash, her full price. i had PPd issues. she didn't call me for a 6 week appt. she called6 months later and said sorry she never called, she didn't want to bother me. ok, so i thought that was strange. but she is premed, and has 5 kids and a busy practice. so, i told myself.. anyway, my sister recently was one of her clients. again, she didn't follow up with the 6 week visit, never called and lost her placenta. her father died, she said. which i can totally understand.....so i'm pregnant. i called her and made an appt. i drove an hour to her house on the day and she wasn't home. i didn't have a cell or her number with me...i went home kind of pissed, but thinking she was at a birth or something, so i understood. she never called me, so i just kind of let it go, thinking i have plenty of time...i'm just 12 weeks....but i've been kind of feeling like maybe i should make other plans for care....she called yesterday and wanted to make an appt. i told her she missed our last one and she said sorry, her phone had broken and she had a chem final and her dad's friend died....etc, etc. my husband is totally not up for having her. he feels that what she charges is too much for how unprofessional things seem.. but i want to understand her point of view...yet i'm kind of wondering what's up. any thoughts?
I wouldn't go with her. Sounds like she has too much on her plate and can't give you the attention you deserve. She didn't call you because she had a Chem final - did that just pop up at the last minute without her knowing it? Come on - how ridiculous. I am in school and I can tell you I know way in advance when my exams are. Plus her excuse that her phone was broken - what happens if you call her and are in labor and her phone is broken?
Sorry she is way too unprofessional for me and she needs to get out of the business. People are counting on her. You can't get a do over with a birth.

I agree, too much on her plate. You deserve better than that!
she does sound too busy to me. To find another midwife, try the state midwifery organization, or LLL-moms groups etc.
Yep, what they said. She sounds very disorganized.
RT knitting mama to 3 (& 8 who didn't make it) wife working on 13 years to a silly man who drives me crazy.
I had a MW like that for a couple months with my 2nd, I left. I never did get the money I had paid her back despite the contract saying I got X amount because she could never figure out what I had paid. I ended up just dropping it and moving on, I considered myself lucky I didn't stick with her. The interesting thing is that she is still around, still does fairly well for herself, but I know many clients that have left her for the same reasons I did, but she always has more. It always was one excuse after another with her.
agree with the above, whether you go doctor or midwife, they are working for you and you should be a priority and kept in the loop.
I agree with PP. I wouldn't want someone that unorganized as my MW.
so i just remembered that she also didn't file my sisters birth cert for like a month, even though my sister needed to leave the country asap, she kept getting too busy. out of line. i guess i'm still on the fence a bit because she backs up every other midwife around here. they all work together. I feel like my only other option is to go to a cnm in the hospital. which freaks me out. but i wonder what is worse? feeling like i'm always getting the wool pulled over my eyes, or taking the chance and going to the hospital?
I would just go with another midwife. Support during your pregnancy is important too. And the fact that she works with other midwives just means she might be there. Yes she may find out but that happens all the time. Follow your heart. :-)
I agree, too much on her plate. Tha'ts a shame. But I would go with another Midwife. I would try to find someone who doesn't take many clients at one time, so the chances of the MW you pick of being at your birth are pretty high. I do know some really great CNMs who do hospital births are and are all for the natural and no to little intervention. Try to find one that best suits you. Good luck!
Even if she backs your midwife up and ends up being there, the midwife you HIRE WILL come to do the 6 week post partum. Plus..did she do a 24 hour or 48, or 72 hour post partum, something in the immediate post partum to look for issues? That is one reason that homebirth clients tend to have a lower post partum morbidity and mortality rate...more face time in the immediate post partum, by whatever schedule the midwife uses... but NEVER seeing you? Uh, not cool. Very not cool.
Mama to two awesome kids. Wife to a wonderful, attached, loving husband. I love my job-- I'm a Midwife, Doula and Childbirth Educator, Classes forming now!
I agree. If you have a bad feeling about care you are getting or a care provider, and you can change - do it. You don't want to be having regrets later.
Please don't go with this mw, mama. I've had 2 mws that put up some red flags with regard to organization and time for me (I've had 4 mws total). In the end, I was SO disappointed. In one case, the mw didn't come to my birth, she sent her brand new assistant mw, even after telling me that she would be the primary. In the other case, the mw did some dangerous things at the birth to "speed it along" and then, she never returned for any of the postpartum visits. In fact, the only time she called me (about 2 weeks later) was to ask question about the thank you gift we'd sent her just after the birth. She didn't even ask how I or the baby was! If yours is doing this now, accept the gift you've been given, to know that she's not going to be there for you and find someone else. Even if this woman is the normal back up, you can talk to the new mw and tell her to find another back up for your birth.
Tough one. Depends on the hospital. Do you know much about it? Have you interviewed the CNMs? Toured it? Gotten feedback from your tribal area?
Personally, the hospital where I had my DS is pretty great. I think I'd chose that hospital again over a lousy HB MW. But I think it is an exceptional hospital. Based on all my reading, I'd say probably 10% of American hospitals, at most, are this great. IOW, odds are NOT in your favor that you'd have a good hospital experience!
So if my options were:
1. Lousy HB MW
2. Typical American Hospital with CNMs
I'd go with the lousy HB MW if - and only if I felt that clinically, I liked how she practiced. IOW, is she not too hands off (i.e. does FHT checks like only hourly in 1st stage, slow & reluctant to transfer at signs of problems) or too hands-on (often AROM, rushing the 3rd stage, fingers all up in my vagina to 'help' stretching as I'm pushing, etc.)
The risks of the typical American hospital birth are very substantial, so a HB MW would have to be really bad to make me choose the hospital if I were healthy. (This is all assuming you have no other HB MW options, as you said.)
If I went with her, I'd just keep on her:
1. Make YOUR OWN RECORDS so you have the data in case of transfer
2. Make a detailed payment plan so she doesn't get paid if she blows you off for apts
3. Get receipts as soon as you hand her checks
4. Insist on getting a phone # & email & ask what expected turnaround times should be. Consider putting "teeth" to this agreement by getting her to agree to a lower fee if she's habitually non-responsive. After all, if she doesn't get back to you, why should you pay the full fee for her services if she wasn't actually PROVIDING those full services?
I personally never get in my car to drive to my MW for a prenatal apt until I talk to her on the phone - but that was her suggestion in case she's at a birth. If you need her urgently & get her voicemail, she asks that you call right back and she'll try to pick up. Since I don't need her "urgently" to confirm our prenatal apt, I leave a VM if she doesn't pick up & she always calls back within 5 minutes to confirm she is there. If I don't get a return call, I won't leave for the apt.
You never mention where you are, but I'm guessing a very rural area, since you feel that it's either this woman, or the hospital CNM... Have you tried posting in your tribal area? It's possible that a midwife might be willing to travel to you... My midwife in my first pregnancy was willing to travel up to 2 hours to attend births. Also, a local La Leche League leader (or whoever is closest to you), might have some ideas as well. But I'd try both, as it seems like both options are pretty crummy.

Three months ago, amidst publicity and Bush appearing as an apostle of peace in the Middle East, several nations were brought together to create a guide line for the future. Hamas was not invited to the conference because of their terrorist and violent stance. Three months have passed involving ongoing discussions between Prime Minister Olmert of Israel and President Abbas of Palestine. Today, Mahmoud Abbas admitted, while he was committed to peace as a means of negotiation, and "I can not support a return to armed struggle at this point in time. But, at a later date, this could be an option for the Palestinian people." He believes Israel and the Palestinian Authority have reached a dangerous crossroads which must either lead to peace or to further violence.
Abbas argued that Hamas also supports negotiation, but obviously they are not part of discussions. He also hinted if peace is not achieved in the coming months he would have no option other than resigning as president. Abbas is greatly concerned about a possible Israel invasion of Gaza which would result in hundreds of casualties and, most probably, compel him to abandon any further peace negotiations.
The government of Qatar has offered to broker peace talks between Hamas and Israel. this option must be explored because until Kassam rocket attacks cease, the danger of a large scale Israel invasion of Gaza looms large on the horizon.

Mr Norris, chairman of the National Cycling Strategy Board, said helmets were for children and he had a right not to look like a "Martian".
His comments are at odds with safety advice on the NCSB website and the Royal Society for the Prevention of Accidents criticised him for not setting a "better example".
The former Conservative transport minister made his remarks to a BBC reporter in York, where five times as many people cycle to work compared with other parts of Britain.
Mr Norris said: "I never wear a helmet for the same reason I never wear Lycra. The idea you have to dress up like a bloody spaceman to ride a bike is just completely potty. [Cycling is] something normal, fat, middle-aged men like me do. If you are a child you wear a helmet. My four-year-old does. I don't. I am not some kind of Martian."
RoSPA spokesman Rodger Vincent said: "To have someone who is supposed to have influence saying this is counter-productive. [He should] set a good example to cyclists rather than treating them in this cavalier fashion."
But Peter Lewis, from the London Cycling Campaign, said: "I agree with Steven Norris. There's conflicting evidence about whether wearing a helmet is good for you or not."
Mr Norris could not be contacted for comment but a NCSB spokesman said: "If Mr Norris says he doesn't wear a helmet, that's fine by us."

At times, the use of imagery even extended to three-dimensional

idols that God had warned Muslims not to worship. Because
sculptors imitated the unique creative power of God by reproducing
the outward form of His creatures, many people considered

Madison Walters was recently selected as the 2013 Step Out: Walk to Stop Diabetes Red Strider Ambassador in Akron. She is serving her second year as the Ambassador for the American Diabetes Association.
Madison is an 11-year-old from Rootstown and will be entering 7th grade this fall. Shortly before her 9th birthday Madi was diagnosed with type 1 diabetes. After her diagnosis, Madison and her family got involved with the Association's Step Out Walk and have since raised more than $11,500, in addition to leading the event as the Ambassador.
"My family didn't know much about my disease and thought it would bring something positive to my life. I am in this for life and I want to make a difference for myself and everyone else with this disease," said Madison.
"Madi's diagnosis was a big change for everyone," said Kathy Walters. "In order to keep a positive outlook, I knew we needed to get involved."
Step Out: Walk to Stop Diabetes is the signature fundraising walk of the American Diabetes Association. Thousands participate in the event throughout Northeast Ohio, many of whom are Red Striders. Red Striders are children and adults living with type 1, type 2 or gestational diabetes are the reason for the walk and fundraising efforts and are celebrated and recognized throughout the event.
"Raising money is not only fun but a way to meet others in the same situation as I am. The walks are a wonderful way to bring everyone together and not only a source of information, but a positive aspect to living with diabetes," said Madison.
As a Red Strider, Madison shares her story and is featured on the Step Out website and in all event materials and publicity. In her role, Madison shares her journey with diabetes and why she and her family support the Association.
"Being diagnosed at a young age, diabetes directly impacts Madi at school," said Kathy. "Kids stare and make comments, only encouraging her to make people aware and knowledgeable about the disease."
This October, Madison will help welcome over 800 participants to the 2013 Step Out Walk as one of the keynote speakers during its Celebration Ceremony
"The reason I support the ADA is because I'm a little selfish. The ADA is my best hope for changing my diabetes reality," said Madison.
Over the last several years, Madison has also presented to large groups of business leaders at the Association's Annual Health and Awareness Breakfasts, stressing the importance of diabetes education, awareness and prevention in the workplace.
In addition to serving as the Red Strider Ambassador, Madison has led her own personal team for the event. Madison and her parents, Mark and Kathy, have hosted "Wacky Hair Days" at Madison's school, held Donation Nights at several restaurants, placed collection canisters in local businesses, and hosted bake sales, among other activities.
Madison resides in Rootstown with her parents and two younger siblings, Alyssa and Adam. In her spare time, she enjoys playing soccer, swimming, babysitting and spending time with her family.
This year's Step Out: Walk to Stop Diabetes in Akron will be held Sunday, October 6th at Quaker Square. For more information, please visit www.diabetes.org/stepoutakron.

Positive Feedback ISSUE 67
Notes of an
Amateur: Mullova's Bach, Podger's Bach, Mahler One, Ligeti's Organ Music.
Bach Concertos, Viktoria Mullova. Accademia Bizantina, Ottavio Dantone. Onyx 4114.
Warmth and restraint are what characterize this performance of violin concertos by Bach, two original concertos and two arrangements for violin of other Bach works on period instruments. Mullova, one of the very best violinists in the world on both modern and 'original' instruments, seems to make a point of not standing out in front of the modest string ensemble around her in this recording. She seems sometimes more a first chair and leader than soloist! She is restrained but her period orchestra is restrained as well—no astringency, no super rapid tempos.
Those of us accustomed to bolder performances and conspicuously brilliant violin playing by period soloists and groups may initially be put off. I had initial doubts—I have never heard Mullova this deliberate. It all feels more classical than baroque. But by the time I got to the andante of BWV 1041, she pretty much had me. The exquisite adagio of BWV 1060 finished me off. Against the warm breathing of the strings, her thoughtful playing pulled me into the private place this album is musically about.
This will clearly not be everyone's Bach, nor is it intended to be. It is someone's Bach. Mullova's, of course, but also one for those sometimes put off by more public, flamboyant versions of this music.
Rachel Podger, Brecon Baroque. J.S. Bach, Double and Triple Concertos. Channel Classics CCS SA 34113. (CD/SACD hybrid)
There is room in the world for both Viktoria Mullova and Rachel Podger. When we hear Mullova's Bach, we sense the presence of the European and Russian musical traditions. When we hear Podger, we think of England, just as we do when we hear John Eliot Gardiner's Bach. There is a wonderful hint of merriment along with the expected control.
Listening to her play the beloved largo of the composer's Concerto for Two Violins, BWV 1043 alongside her former student (and now European star) Bojan Cicic, we hear great emotion without a hint of indulgence, which is hard to avoid in this music. Podger's Vivaldi is pure ebullience, her Mozart is vigorous and expressive. Her Bach is the perfect marriage of joy and formality, form infused with joy. It is hard not to believe she's playing for her children, which she may have been.
No collection of Bach (or Mozart or Vivaldi) should omit her. Brecon Baroque is her own ensemble made up of some of some of the leading lights of the period instrument world along with some of her former students, who now occupy leading positions in many of Europe's finest ensembles. They sound terrific.
This is an SACD hybrid recording, as are all Channel Classics engineered by SACD aficionado Jared Sacks.
Mahler, Symphony No. 1. Christoph Eschenbach conducting the Houston Symphony Orchestra. Live Recording. High Definition Tape Transfer HDDL 366.
Until I heard this recording of a live 1967 performance, the most beautiful recorded performance of Mahler's First I'd heard was James Judd's with the Florida (!) Philharmonic on Harmonia Mundi twenty years ago. You see that one turn up now and again on lists of 'audiophile recordings.' A lot of this has to do with Judd and Eschenbach and their orchestras, of course. Some has to do with my Audio Note music system, which like all Audio Note audio gear puts a premium on beauty. And reportedly, some has to do with "acoustically rich James Hall which has assumed a virtual life of its own for orchestras." (original album notes). And finally, a lot has to do with the exquisite re-mastering Robert Wiltak's HDTT label has become famous for. Again, as with the HDTT Rite of Spring recording I reviewed recently by this same orchestra and conductor in this same hall, the original is red book digital!
Pierre Boulez will tell us that beauty isn't everything in Mahler, but it is a lot. It is what lets us hear what the end of the nineteenth century was at its heart. There are moments in this recording when I miss the incisive attacks and great clarity Boulez' Mahler gives us. But there are also times in Boulez's Mahler when I miss the beauty that Eschenbach gets from the Houston musicians. Even the woodwinds have an almost eternal liquidity. The violins are beyond beautiful.
While there is occasional drama when it's called for, the predominant quality of this performance is a whispering beauty.
Ligeti, Volumina - Organ Works. Dominik Sustek. Wergo. WER 6757-2.
As 'serious' listeners of modernist music, we pay attention to anything by Ligeti. We don't love everything he wrote. Modernist music is not lovable by nature, though it certainly can be. It is mostly intriguing, exciting… off-putting, inane. With Ligeti, it is invariably interesting, sometimes mind-bending.
What does high modernism in its second generation, composed for solo organ, sound like? Well, starting with Volumina (1961-62; revised 1966), the earliest and most ambitious work in this program of Ligeti's only three works for organ Ligeti (plus a 1950's work for piano arranged here for organ by the soloist), it sounds like a host of flying jet fighter planes giving birth to a rich, complex, mysterious other world. We are accustomed to Ligeti's music being an exploration of space and texture rather than linear musical narrative or melody: Volumina feels like an exploration of cosmological space. Remember that Ligeti composed music for Kubrick's 2001: A Space Odyssey. This work goes far beyond that in both aesthetic and emotional power.
Harmonies (1967) is closer to what we remember of his work for Kubrick. It creates a single spell rather than the hugely complex Volumina, a continuously evolving wave of haunting, dissonant sound in the mid and upper registers. Coulée (1969), written during the same period (Ligeti calls the pair of them Two Studies), is less simple, introducing the element of a deep and welcome ground in the bass. There are hints of melodic intent here and there but as the work only last three and a half minutes, there isn't much time for them to go anywhere.
The album is introduced by a 'suite' of eleven short pieces originally composed for piano in 1951-53 called Musica Ricercata, arranged for organ by organist Sustek in 2012. It is considerably less experimental than the later works, though not less intriguing for that.
The album also includes a Volumina-like work by Sustek, Improvisation for Organ (2012), which is a fascinating contribution to the genre.
High modernism is almost by definition hard to write about. Volumina is the main course here and it definitely sustains the album. Around my third time through its 15+ minutes I was impressed and moved. Before that, I was mainly overwhelmed.

Homeless Hotspots
AUSTIN, Texas (AP) - A marketing stunt that paid homeless people to carry Wi-Fi signals during the South By Southwest Conference in Austin, Texas, is drawing widespread criticism.
BBH Labs, a unit of the global marketing agency BBH, gave 14 people from a homeless shelter mobile Wi-Fi devices and T-shirts that announced "I am a 4G Hotspot."
BBH New York chairwoman Emma Cookson says the company paid them a minimum of $50 a day.
She called the experiment a modernized version of homeless selling street newspapers.
But many have called the program exploitive. Wired.com wrote that it "sounds like something out of a darkly satirical science-fiction dystopia."
The experiment was meant to begin last Friday but rain delayed its implementation until Sunday.
It stopped Monday.

Recap | Notes | Photo Gallery
Michigan Head Coach Greg Ryan
Opening statement ... "This is the best day I've had since I came to Michigan six years ago. I'm the luckiest guy in the world to coach this group of players, especially this senior class. I thought they played brilliantly today. We created enough chances to get several more goals, but we were happy to get the one. Meghan [Toohey] put away the penalty. It was a fabulous game from the whole team."
On Notre Dame goalkeeper Kaela Little and Nkem Ezurike's missed opportunities ... "I thought [Little] played great. She cut the angles really well. Nkem was in behind a few times and she was able to get a hand to it and deflect it wide. Not only was she getting to it, but she was putting it out of the scoring area. She's a very, very good goalkeeper. Nkem was just a little unlucky today. She hit the post. Normally that's in the net. I talked to her a little bit ago and told her that if she kept getting chances, keep firing because they're going to fall."
On the team's building confidence ... "They're playing so well and that's where they're gaining confidence. My first year, we played Notre Dame and lost 7-0 and they were being generous. At breakfast today, they said they were going to beat this team. This team exudes confidence right now. It's something we haven't ever had. You have to play at this level to believe in yourself. Once you see you're this good, the confidence comes."
On if reaching the quarterfinals was a team goal before the season ... "They wanted to set realistic goals. I'm not saying the quarterfinals was unrealistic, but they wanted to make it to the NCAA Tournament, take it one game at a time and go as far as we can. It wasn't a specific goal to get here, but it's an ongoing goal and one that we welcome."
On the gameplan at halftime ... "I felt strongly that we were going to have a good second half. We were getting good chances in the penalty area and they weren't getting too much. I think our subs really picked us up. Corinne Harris, when she came in, I thought did extremely well. Cassie Collins, Nicky Waldeck... I felt that we were going to be a little fresher. I thought we were a little quicker and put them under pressure more. We kept them on their heels most of the day."
U-M Senior Meghan Toohey
On advancing to the Elite Eight ... "Oh man, it feels great. Our team made goals before the season and we had confidence going into it. What matters is how you play in the game. Last year, we lost in PKs in the Sweet 16. Sometimes you get unlucky and that's what happened last year. We know how hard it is to win. This feels unbelievable."
On the playing conditions ... "The field was really hard. It felt like you were playing on top of it. Cleats really didn't sink in too much. We talked about it before. Both teams have to play on it. It's about having a positive attitude going in and controlling the things you can control. I think that we went in knowing the best thing you can do is give 100 percent effort, suck it up and go after it. I think we did that."
On the team's effort ... "It was a team win. Every time there was a first, second or third ball, we were all on it. It has to be a whole team collective to want to win the game. I think you can see in the play and determination of play that we wanted it more than they did."
U-M Senior Shelina Zadorsky
On advancing to the Elite Eight ... "It feels pretty surreal right now. Knowing this could have been our last game as seniors on this field -- depending on the result of the Virginia/Wake Forest game -- I couldn't have asked more for every single player on or off the field. This team is a family and I think we showed that today."
On how the team rebounded following the Big Ten Tournament loss to Iowa ... "I think even before that loss, we've just been committed. Every single player has been committed. We've set goals and we've stuck to them. Our motto has been one game at a time. After we lost that game, we picked our heads back up and took it one game at a time."
On Notre Dame's attack in the first half ... "I think the beginning was a little hectic. Granted, they are a great team. They had some chances in the beginning, but I'm glad how we stuck together, because the beginning of the game can be like that. Our communication together in the back was good and Taylor was making some great saves off crosses. That was important for us. Our attackers did the work and in the second half, I think we had the better chances."

Not really any issues for your use with alloy frames other then normal scuffing and scratches from carry and when at range being shot alot the gun should be kept well lubed either with a oil or greese of good quality. The poly guns actually seem to do better for heavy use when carried or shot, lot of this will depend on the brand and caliber.
I CCW a Colt DE (10mm all SS) and sometimes a Sig 238 which is a Colt Mustang clone, but if I was in the jungles or desert and even walking the street it would be Glock for me. The Glock is a true military use handgun and is uber reliable and easy to use and keep clean and comes in about any caliber you want. I've owned three, two 29's and a 20, and the 29 's were super accurate, I was more accurate at 25 yards with the G-29 then with my Colts and Para.

Sleepy India town wakes up to tourists, business
By Aftab Ahmed and Nivedita Bhattacharjee
GOKARNA, India (Reuters Life!) - German tourist Oliver Krupke has travelled to India every year for the past three years, but it's not the Taj Mahal, the beaches of Goa or the bustle of Mumbai that keep bringing him back.
For the 33-year-old, the perfect holiday lies in the sleepy beach town of Gokarna, some 125 kms (78 miles) from Goa, India's beach capital.
"This might not be the most beautiful beach in the world, but the people and the peace here are like no other," said Krupke, adding that on his way to Gokarna, he had to stay for a day in Goa and hated it.
Gokarna, on the shores of the Arabian Sea, has four famous beaches -- the Om, Half-Moon, Paradise and Kudle.
And it would appear that these low-profile beaches on the India's western coast are stealing a number of tourists from its more famous neighbor Goa, as more and more foreigners look for the anti-thesis of their often busy city lives.
With its blend of spirituality and tolerance, Gokarna has been steadily building its popularity with tourists.
While the town of holds religious significance for Hindus, the beaches draw people from all over the world.
As the sun goes down, the shacks -- the numerous makeshift lodges that dot the shores -- don't start pumping loud party music. Instead, people gather wood to light bonfires in the evening, which they huddle around and jam with mandolins and guitars on the dimly lit beaches. Continued...

Facebook Looks to Use the Hashtag
(NEWSER) – It's done so well at Twitter, the hashtag may soon have a job at Facebook, too. The social network is looking into using the symbol to organize conversations on the site, the Wall Street Journal reports. As with Twitter, Facebook users could potentially click on a hashtag to see what people are saying on a given topic. That could keep users on the site for longer, meaning more ad views, the Journal notes. (At Slate, Will Oremus says the Facebook move is "rather ingenious when you consider it from a business perspective.") It's not certain when Facebook would launch the feature.

I have a 1930 SXS with dual trigger but no exposed hammers that I would not feel under gunned for HD. Here is what a bad guy would see and I believe they would think twice.
"If everyone is thinking alike, then somebody isn't thinking" - George S. Patton.
retsup99 is mistaken here, as the much newer Stoeger Double Defense shotgun is now the one to get for home protection.
With it you can easily install night vision optics, a light, and/or a laser:
I guess it depends on what you want to do with the shotgun. Personally, if I need to move inside my home, I will use my handgun. The handgun leaves one hand free for the phone, light switches, door knobs, a flashlight, and grabbing the kids.
My shotgun (Rem 870 Express 12 gauge pump, with 20 inch Improved fixed choke barrel with rifle sights) has but one purpose - it is a last line of defense once we are all in our safe room. I am not concerned with how "handy" it is, and could just as easily live with my 26 inch barrel that I use for trap shooting. I did not mount a light, because the lights will be on, and we have flashlights in the room - and my wife will be backing me up with our Glock 19, which does have a mounted weapon light.
As far as the speed of the second shot - working the slide on a pump shotgun helps bring the gun back down onto target. I do not think there is a practical difference between speed of follow-up shots between a pump and a SxS once you factor recoil into the equation. As a side note, while shooting wobble trap, I was able to hit a bird twice with my pump shotgun - so pumps can be pretty darn fast too. Everyone else on the line had over-unders...and I beat them all with my cheap pump!
As far as keeping the firing pin spring compressed for long periods of time (and thus wanting exposed hammers instead) - I don't think that is an issue. My understanding is that springs wear from use, not from being kept compressed (I'm not a metallurgist, so correct me if I'm wrong). The Springfield XD is carried 100% cocked, so the striker spring is always compressed, and I have yet to hear of anyone being concerned about that.
The greater issue would be safety - I keep my shotgun uncocked, safety off, chamber empty in our safe. To use it, I just need to pump it, and it is ready to go. Until then, it is perfectly safe. Leaving a SxS loaded and cocked would require you to take the safety off before use. If you have exposed hammers, you need to cock them first. Seems to me that pumping the slide on a pump shotgun is a more natural action than either of those, since it is a gross movement, and not fiddling with little bits while under stress - but I admit my experience is with pumps. One other advantage to the pump is the sound - everyone knows that sound and what it means, and it has sent many BGs running without the need for a shot.
The shotgun is, without question, a better defensive arm than any handgun. Which ever you choose, it will serve you well. Hope this was helpful.
The number of people killed because they didn't have "enough gun" is dwarfed by those who had none at all.
If I'm staring down the business end of any shotgun, I'm not concerned with the configuration or gauge, only the person on the other end!
While hammers wouldn't be my first choice (something else to fiddle with), if that's what I had, that's what I'm using.

Evinrude Parts Factory or Aftermarket
The outboard parts come in two varieties either aftermarket or OEM parts are available. The demand for them plays the important role of locating parts but basically only certain suppliers will stock items based on demand. I have to say I've experienced both ends of the scale here and see both sides. You see it's not just a matter of someone placing a patent on a design but also the demand for that part must be high to absorb the start up and manufacturing cost associated with it. Many items are old and dated but still are not available for purchase only in the OEM version.
So let's take an example here when I first got a taste of the whole thing. I needed an impeller for a 175hp Evinrude which sound like it shouldn't be a big deal. Well I couldn't believe that the local dealer wanted forty five dollars for it. I did pay for it at the time but was disturbed as upon inspection of the part I noticed it was manufactured just like any other part and put in an OEM box. I did follow up and sure enough that same replacement was available for about eighteen dollars aftermarket. Although it was not in an OEM box that showed it was an authentic Evinrude part, it would still perform the function at less than half the cost.
I know some swear by their factory parts and that is fine, I just have my own opinion about things and do attempt to make an honest judgment between the cheaper brands and those that are authentic. I would say that most of everything I've run across, in regard to Evinrude parts, have been equal if not better than the factory parts. I know that we can't always purchase parts as we would like to but in general thatr is what I think about it.
So Evinrude parts turned out to be a subject I could express some opinions about. Now how about you? Which version will you purchase?
