New mom, desperately wants to lose weight, post pregnancy
Its been a month since I gave birth.I had been very active during the pregnancy and have done gentle exercises, yoga.
- Please advice me if I should start exercising now?
- Would it be too early or is it the right time to begin?
- Please also suggest the type of exercise regimen I should follow?

I do believe that most midwives and doctors suggest that you can start exercising by 6 weeks post postpartum. I would check in with your care provider to make sure that you are in the clear first.
I would like to suggest yoga.....Yoga has helped me so much with so many issues. Going to yoga class gave me so much energy and calmness and peace and strength and well being. I also felt amazing afterwards. I did lose weight when i started going 4 to 5 times a week. However my body tends to start losing baby fat around the 9th month postpartum.
Give your self time and love your body for what you body grew and nourished for 9 months.
Remember adequate water intake daily and self love.

BOOKS FOR THE BEACH: Next week we finally get to go on vacation, back to our summer cottage in San Clemente to hang out with the raccoons and skunks and wild dogs and homeless cats and feral tourists and Nixon's and Bebe Rebozo's ghosts.
Pretty much all we do is sit in the shade with our black socks and sandals and read. Because that's what people do on summer vacation. Especially people who don't read the rest of the year.
And what do they read? Generally what everybody else is reading. Last summer it was the "Twilight" books. Before that, "Dragoon Tattoo" books. This summer it'll be the "50 Shades" books. Don't be like everyone else. You're not 8 years old or some kind of weirdo. No, you're a person of taste, and that explains why each summer you come crawling to us, empty bookbag in hand, asking for our Summer Reading List.
There are two books at the top of our list that we really need you to read this summer. The remainder you should read if you have time, and you do, because it's summer.
"Canada," by Richard Ford. You won't find any better writing in a book released this year, or many other years, for that matter. The story isn't the point - Ford tells you on the first page what's going to happen - but the writing is so magnificent, it'll break your heart. It's a voice that the Pulitzer-winner Ford mastered early in his career, and he's polished it to perfection with "Canada."
"The Orphan Master's Son," by Adam Johnson. This novel is an utterly fascinating and sprawling yarn about a North Korean outcast who slowly, and without ambition, becomes a national hero and a pal of the explosive and mad Kim Jong Il. It's creepy, scary and wonderful all at once, and it's a spectacular look inside the workings of the weirdest country of them all.
"Beware of God: Stories," by Shalom Auslander. This one predates Auslander's 2012 book, "Hope: A Tragedy," but it's a lot funnier, with wildly irreverent stories with Our Maker (if we can all agree that Our Maker is the Jewish version) taking on such roles as a hit man, going after a guy who won't die as planned.
"The Whore of Akron: One Man's Search for the Soul of LeBron James," by Scott Raab. Raab, a longtime writer for Esquire, is a lifelong (and long- suffering) fan of Cleveland pro sports. This book is part wild memoir, but mostly a half-heartbroken, half-enraged study of how the homegrown ex-Cavalier James ruined Cleveland sports, and the author's life, when he left for Miami.
"The Beginner's Goodbye," by Anne Tyler. This makes the list by the fact that it's by Anne Tyler who we "discovered" in 1982 with her "Dinner at the Homesick Restaurant." We've read every one of her books since then, and she's never let us down. As always, the story is timeless and insular, unaffected by current events. As long as people continue to live lives of quiet desperation, there'll be fodder for Tyler.
"The Sisters Brothers," by Patrick deWitt. Why not a good old Western to kill some summertime hours? Charlie and Eli Sisters are on their ponies in the Oregon Territory in the mid-1800s on a killin' mission. The story mixes Cormac McCarthy's brutality with Charles Portis' ("True Grit") companionable humor.
The next three on our list haven't come out quite yet, but they are all scheduled for summer release, and we'll be reading them all - with varying degrees of skepticism.
"The Red House," by Mark Haddon. This novel, by the author of the wondrous "The Curious Incident of the Dog in the Night-Time," comes out today. It sounds like a Christie-esque take on a story of a man who invites his sister's family to stay at his vacation home, as related from the perspectives of eight people.
"Lionel ASBO: The State of England," by Martin Amis. Who better to unleash on the celebrity culture crush than the barbaric social satirist (No. 1 on the list with the passing of Christopher Hitchens) Martin Amis? The novel, which comes out at the tail end of the season on Aug. 21, deals with the subject through the thuggish and suddenly wealthy lottery winner Lionel ASBO (for Anti-Social Behavior Orders). No one shall be spared.
"A Wilderness of Error: The Trials of Jeffrey MacDonald," by Errol Morris. Oh, no, here we go again, with yet another rummaging through the weird and jumbled evidence surrounding the conviction of former Green Beret and St. Mary Medical Center trauma chief Jeffrey MacDonald for the 1970 slaying of his pregnant wife and two daughters. This time out, it's told by famed documentarian Errol Morris ("Thin Blue Line," "The Fog of War").

|Local Students, Local Internships
|Students dont need to travel far to find challenging internship opportunities during the academic year.
Students don't need to travel far to find challenging internship opportunities during the academic year. Companies like Kendal at Ithaca have come to rely on the performance of School of Business interns.
And when a successful internship is over, said Ann Wall, chief financial officer at Kendal, "interns can count on references for future jobs and/or graduate school."
Kendal's most recent intern, Julius Vainauskas '12, was assigned to list all of Kendal's investments at various financial institutions in an Excel format consistent with New York State Department of Insurance requirements. The department regulates Kendal, a continuing care retirement community with 212 independent living units, about three miles north of campus. Vainauskas categorized more than $25 million of investments.
"When it was time for me to include this information with the full report for New York State, I was very pleased to find that all the investment data matched the general ledger to the dollar and I had no extra work to pull the final report together," said Wall.
"Since we are in an industry where there are nearly a dozen year-end reports to prepare, each asking for the same financial data in a dozen different formats, it is immensely helpful to have an intern assisting with perfection."
For more than five years, the CPA firm Sciarabba Walker in downtown Ithaca has used two to four students during tax season. The students work a flexible schedule – between 20 and 24 hours a week from Feb. 1 through April 15 – preparing individual, partnership, and corporate tax returns.
"We find the IC students very focused on obtaining real-life skills," said David Iles of Sciarabba Walker. "They enjoy not only learning how to apply the accounting technical knowledge they've obtained at IC to real-life situations, but they also enjoy learning how our office operates."
At Fingerlakes Wealth Management, also north of downtown, students gain hands-on experience in portfolio management. They work with asset allocation, analysis of holdings, Morningstar reporting for client reviews, financial planning, research and investment strategies, and risk management.
"I am very impressed with the work ethic and motivation of Ithaca College's business students," said Susan McCormick. "They come well prepared and motivated to implement their skills and to learn new skills. The students roll up their sleeves and work on any and all tasks that are requested."
This spring four interns worked on implementing an additional portfolio review system. Among them, Aaron Heltsley '12 created a portfolio optimization analysis, and Alissa Mirchuk '11 created a model portfolio based on risk analysis, said McCormick.
Interns assist the Kendal Finance Department staff of five in key areas such as accounts payable, accounts receivable, general ledger, and projects relating to investments, fixed assets, audit and cost report work papers, donations, payroll, and Medicare and commercial insurance billing.
With a $17 million budget and much state regulation, "having a motivated, interested, and smart intern is one of the keys to the success of our Finance Department," said Wall.
"I think it's fair to say that our interns walk away with much more knowledge of how Excel can be used in the workplace, not just entering data, but using pivot tables and learning more about manipulating data that can be used to analyze and solve problems."
Moreover, because Kendal's is a small office, the intern uses a computer station in Wall's office. This provides additional learning opportunities.
Her interns, said Wall, have listened to discussions among chief financial officers, investment bankers, actuaries, and lawyers that have ranged from terminating an interest rate swap agreement to budgeting for health care, from understanding the challenge of funding a pension plan to amortizing entrance fee revenue.
Wall and McCormick agree on the traits the best interns possess: being part of a team and able to work independently, taking instruction positively, and knowing when to ask questions. "They need to treat the internship as a job, to be reliable, and to demonstrate initiative," said Wall. "Our most successful interns also have a good sense of humor."

For the sixth year, a lawmaker is running a bill that would allow Utahns in unmarried and same-sex relationships to adopt a partner's child.
In past sessions, the legislation got roundly snubbed. But Rep. Rebecca Chavez-Houck, D-Salt Lake City, and sponsor of HB214, is undaunted.
"As long as all Utah families are not being treated equitably, I intend to run the bill," Chavez-Houck said Monday. "I believe that it provides an opportunity for families in our community to talk about the challenges they face in not having peace of mind. To me, this has always been an issue of parental rights. A parent should determine who they would like to co-parent with, period. If a home and family constellation is found to be nurturing and safe for a child, that child should stay with that family."
HB214 would allow a cohabiting partner to adopt in cases where a child has only one legal parent and that parent supports the adoption. The adoptive parent would have to show he or she had parental relationship with the child and provided emotional and financial support.
"We have a number of new legislators who haven't had a chance to meet or visit with families, including grandparents, extended relatives, and friends, who would like to tell them their stories," Chavez-Houck said. "In continuing to run the bill, I provide those families a chance to talk about their challenges."
Utah adopted a ban on same-sex couple adoptions in 2000. In 2011, the Williams Institute at UCLA, using Census data from 2005-2009, estimated about 24 percent of Utah's same-sex couples are raising children together.
Utah is one of just two states the other is Mississippi that outright bar gays and lesbians from adopting a partner's child, according to the Human Rights Campaign. In Michigan, state courts have ruled unmarried couples may not jointly petition to adopt; courts in three other states have ruled against second-parent adoptions.
Same-sex couples may jointly petition to adopt from biological parents or the state in 16 states and the District of Columbia; same-sex couples also have successfully petitioned for that right in Minnesota. Second-parent adoptions are an option in 10 states, and couples have successfully petitioned for that right in 16 other states.
Other adoption-related bills already moving in the Legislature:
SB31 would provide a $1,000 refundable tax credit for families who adopt children with special needs who are between the ages of 5 and 18. It would apply to adoptions that took place on or after Jan. 1, 2013 and may be claimed in the year the adoption became final. A fiscal note attached to the bill, which the Senate has passed, estimates it would cost the state's education fund $350,000 annually.
SB155 would create parameters for the widely accepted practice of open adoption. It requires such agreements to be approved by a court to be legally enforceable and states that a violation of an agreement is not grounds to set an adoption aside. The Senate Judiciary committee will consider the bill Tuesday.

First, airmon-ng is there to put your card in monitor mode. You probably meant airodump-ng. (I assume.) Second, if this is wpa, then just listen anyway to get the handshake. the client will be included in there, but you have to use a separate program to get it out for you, i think. I suggest elcomsoft distributed password cracker. You don't need to crack the password, the client mac will be displayed anyway. If this is WEP then theres a tool that'll do it for you.
I looked through the script and im pretty sure this will do it. If not, just edit the loop to sleep and check for clients every once in a while.
Gotta love these forums. Everyone has already done everything.

I still dont get how a man with a piss poor record can become the most well known fighter in the uk by shagging a woman that looks like a bad sex doll
I still dont get how a man with a piss poor record can become the most well known fighter in the uk by shagging a woman that looks like a bad sex doll
it is what it is. I could bang on about Alex's quality of opposition/injuries/constant over-matching, but i don't think that is going to help here.
the fact of the matter is, in this sex & celebrity obsessed world, Alex was in the right place (Sol's gym) at the right time (when Jordan was working out) and he got amongst it. the papers went crazy for it. now everyone knows that MMA exists because of the bellendrical red tops. like it/love it/hate it or be confused by it, Alex is a big mainstream name. this can be tapped to bring yet more viewers and fans to the sport. BAMMA is doing that. Can't blame them. Can't blame Alex. If you got the chance to get Alex on your show, no-one could blame you either.
'Go read a fucking book, you piece of shit.'
bloody Alex Reid
All this a week after it was announced by his ex partner that he was arranging to meet up with another guy for sex under his Roxanne persona....
Alex Reid doesn't grab me as the sort of guy that would demand half of his own child's trust fund, it would be interesting to see if she could produce the emails. That and the fact this stupid fame hungry bag (Chantelle) claims she never knew about the cross dressing, it was all over the press when Jordan got with him. Reidy going to meet another guy dressed as his alter ego, how fucking crazy and poisonous is that Chantelle lol.
He ultimately took nothing from her, she's just lucky enough to have an article in some bullshit mag to have these dumb rants.
Anyways who cares, I hope his name drives the viewing figures and the ticket sales up, so the event is a success. It seems BAMMA are attempting to have fight cards that do not generate such a high wage bill. If they can make some tidy profits and build their name it's a good thing.
Anyone who knows Alex, also knows that Chantelle would have nothing to offer without Alex - She would never make the papers or magazines without using his name - Alex is now her sole income from papers and magazines - every week she has to find something new to offer the gullible - has anyone noticed that Alex is busy training and gets my respect for not feeding this sad woman by offering a response.
I dont know alex and i dont believe anything in the papers/magazines say anyway so personally i dont have any real view on whats went on in his past relationships , tbh he was a good fighter who fought some good people years ago, but id rather Bamma didnt go down this route and got the Curt/Sinclair fight on.
It might not get in the papers as much but id would be one cracking fight for any fan to see.
Reid vs Giles would of been more Entertaining
ICON Jiu Jitsu
The only bars i go to are Arm Bars, Knee Bars and a Mars Bar

Post subject: Final Roster Predictions & Announcements
My Roster Prediction
QB: Flacco, Taylor
RB: Rice, Pierce, Rainey
FB: Leach
WR: Boldin, Smith, Jones, Williams, Doss, Streeter, Thompson
TE: Dickson, Pitta, Bajema
LT: McKinnie
LG: Williams, Osemele
C: Birk, Gradkowski
RG: Yanda
RT: Oher, Reid
DT: Ngata, Hall, Tyson
NT: Cody, Kemoeatu
DE: McPhee, Jones
RUSH: Kruger, McClellan, Williams
WILL: McClain, Ayanbadejo
MIKE: Lewis, Ellerbe
SAM: Upshaw, Kindle
CB: Webb, Smith, Williams, Graham, Gorrer, Jackson
FS: Reed, Brown
SS: Pollard, Thompson
K: Tucker
P: Koch
LS: Cox
The thing I feel least confident about is the bottom of the WR group. It doesn't seem likely that they keep 7 of them but I feel like Streeter and/or Thompson are both better than anybody else that could get a spot. Streeter might be a candidate for one of those questionable IR moves the team likes to make with young guys to keep them with the team. I doubt he would clear waivers if they cut him to put him on the practice squad. Thompson probably would but I think he's played well enough to make the team.
I'm really hoping that they don't waste a roster spot on Considine but I don't trust Harbaugh to let one of "his guys" go. Getting a different veteran backup S via free agency is something very likely in my opinion, and I think Brown would be the guy to go (and end up on the practice squad).
With the versatility of Oher, Yanda, and the depth guys on the OL there isn't much of a reason to carry too many of them. Cornell is a very likely practice squad candidate and I think Boren could end up there too (if he's eligible, I'm not familiar with those rules). Harewood is at the end of his Ravens career in my opinion.
The case could be made for Berry but I think they will only keep 4 guys in the backfield. I can't think of anybody else that sticks out as deserving of a roster spot.

RB Anthony Allen, Georgia Tech
S Omar Brown, Marshall

Two guys I'd like to see make PS is Nigel Carr and Logan Payne. Two guys that aren't ready now, but in the future, two guys I see making some type of impact for an NFL team.
But I like your roster.
I hope Considine is cut. Dude sucks. And I don't really like Omar Brown as a safety. He's not that good in coverage and pretty slow, being out run by a couple guys. I hope he goes to PS, and we sign some sort of vet. I'm not comfortable at all with two rookies as the backup safties.

That's a good list above. I also think we practice squad Logan Payne. I think he could insurance policy behind Doss, just in case he remains too injury prone to develop into the player that we hope is able to replace Boldin when the time comes.
And I agree with the reasoning that we keep both Thompson and Streeter. I just can't see us giving up on Streeter at this early juncture- especially since we knew he would be raw coming into the year. His potential is just too great. And Thompson is just too talented and fast at this point for us to pass up. He brings a legitimate backup to either Smith or Jacoby heading forward just in case one of them goes down. Thompson has both the speed to get deep in that role as well as the quickness to gain quick separation... it'd be a mistake to get rid of him.

FYI Practice Squad eligibility criteria are:
To be eligible to be on a teams practice squad, you have to meet one of the following two criteria:
1. If you havent been on a practice squad for more than two seasons prior, you can be on a teams practice squad if:
A. Youve never accrued an Accrued Season of NFL experience, or
B. If youre a free agent who was on the Active List for an NFL team for less than nine regular season games during your Accrued Season.
(note: an Accrued Season is counted if youre on a teams active or inactive list for six or more games during the season.)
2. You can be on a practice squad for a third year only if the team youre with during that third season maintains at least 53 players on their Active/Inactive Lists (combined) during your time with the team.
(note: The active list is the game day roster of 45 players. The Inactive list are players that are made inactive on game day so the team can get down to 46 players.)
So Boren fits 1A and can be on the PS. I think Logan Payne fits that criteria too even though he is now 4+ years out of college

ProFootballTalk @ProFootballTalk
The Ravens have placed sixth-round rookie WR Tommy Streeter on IR, per league source.
It's almost like the team is too predictable in cases like this.
Aaron Wilson @RavensInsider
Ravens are expected to retain offensive lineman Tony Wragge
It makes sense to want a veteran insurance policy if Birk goes down. I don't think Wragge is a better player than Gradkowski though.

Well they could now work on streeter for 8 weeks and bring him off IR and activate right? But most likely they'll keep him out all season like they did with McAdoo

Dont hold me to this but I think that rule does go into effect this year but Streeter wouldn't be eligible for it for a reason I'm not really sure of. I saw on twitter that PFT says players going on IR today aren't eligible but the other day they said the Steelers could use it for decastro. Again, this could be wrong but thats just what i remember reading
ProFootballTalk @ProFootballTalk
Note: Any player placed on IR today is not eligible for the new IR procedures where the player can return later in the season.

Not a surprise, but offensive lineman Ramon Harewood is expected to make the Ravens' active roster. He started at guard last night.
That's surprising for me. I didn't think they would keep him since he's the 3rd string LT. Starting at LG last night wasn't a positive in my opinion.

This Tweet came before that one:
Aaron Wilson @RavensInsider
Ravens veteran safety Sean Considine (concussion) is expected to be ready for the first game. Has made a sound recovery, per league source.
EDIT - I'm upset about his recovery, just that it looks like he's making the team.

Being at practice today doesn't mean you made the team.
Aaron Wilson @RavensInsider
Some pending roster moves will involve potential IR or injury waiver decisions: Jah Reid, Figgins, Balasavage, Bynes, R. Brown, Boren
I wonder if Reid's injury is more serious than they let on. Harbuagh said that he should be back soon but like I've said before I don't put a lot of stock into the "information" he gives out in press conferences.
I updated the first post (below my prediction) with a list of the moves being made today.

I honestly don't think Taylor showed enough this year in pre-season or training camp to warrant the confidence of the coaching staff in the event of something *knock on wood* happening to Joe. Like him or not, FOR THE MOST PART, Painter at least looked fairly competent throwing the ball during pre-season. I can't say I'm really shocked by his retention.

En Gypsy Couture 08: Lagniappe
I first heard of lagniappe from a woman who lived in New Orleans. Lagniape is a little something extra to make your day special. For example if you were at the market and picked up a few things for gumbo, the cashier might throw in an onion and say "Lagniappe." It's a special gift to make the meal complete. My life is full of little things to make it complete. This week was no different. It's been a rough one but these few gifts and events has made it much more bearable. Venus and Mercury are in my Sun sign Taurus, and Aries, the sign we're in now, is my Venus so I'm thinking the universe is going to throw a little love and sunshine my way. "Lagniappe."
The little gem on the left arrived last week. It's 4 x 5" and sits on my dresser. Oh how I love Dame Darcy. The book on the right has been one I have been talking about for quite some time. My first year in New York I was absolutely obsessed with it. I took it out of the library every couple of weeks and pored over it. Just recently I was thinking of purchasing it again. I was reading tarot for my Russian Gypsy twin and drinking red wine. It was one of those nights where you walk along battery park breathing in the warm air and end up at the Ritz Carlton for drinks. Pure magic if I ever saw it. She told me she had something for me, that it was me, through and through. She pulled out Kiki's Paris. I nearly jumped. This world has a very funny way of bringing people and things together. It's downright charmed at times.
My beautiful friend Molly Crabapple did these wonderful sketches of me which can be seen at Max's Kansas City. They may also show up later this year on the Dirtee Hollywood t-shirt line.
The ravishing Veronika von Volkova paid me a visit as well. We had a splendid evening of photography and grapes. Her renditions of the photographs are absolutely stunning. We took the photographs together (except the ones of just me) and edited them seperately. Mine will almost always look grainy and aged. Thank you to my friend Warren Ellis for bringing us Whitechapel, which I am convinced is the nexus of the universe.
This was taken behind the scenes at the Dolly Sister's shoot for the troops. Bombshell Mandy is amazing and I would highly recommend her for any photos you need. Her studio is absolutely wonderful as well and includes gorgeous handmade sets. The Alice & Wonderland set will be up until the end of April.
And so this concludes the amazing week. So much ahead of me in the upcoming weeks. I am excited and truly inspired. Gypsy Couture is creating your own unique life.

Please join the L.O.V.E. [1] Task Force on Non-Violent Living on February 21st, 2013, 7 PM, as we gather together to address the myriad forms of sexual assault, from cradle to grave. Not for women only, this is the fourth in a monthly series of events responding to interpersonal violence in all its forms. Continuing to look at interpersonal violence through a theological lens, we join our Anglican Primates issuing an Episcopal mandate of awareness, identification and prevention[2], as well as the leaders of the American Medical Association and the Centers for Disease Control, by recognizing "sexual violence as widespread". [3] We will meet in the sanctuary of The Church of the Holy Trinity for a shared discussion respecting one another as made in the image of God. We will come together in Spirit to break silences, strengthening our church and wider community to be a resource in safety and solidarity, not a roadblock for healing. We vow to make it a sanctuary and a place where honest dialogue within church walls and beyond can begin to create healing and the transformation of lives, relationships, families, and communities.

Old English woruld, worold "human existence, the affairs of life," also "the human race, mankind," a word peculiar to Germanic languages (cf. Old Saxon werold, Old Frisian warld, Dutch wereld, Old Norse verold, Old High German weralt, German Welt), with a literal sense of "age of man," from Proto-Germanic *wer "man" (Old English wer, still in werewolf; see virile) + *ald "age" (see old).
Originally "life on earth, this world (as opposed to the afterlife)," sense extended to "the known world," then to "the physical world in the broadest sense, the universe" (c.1200). In Old English gospels, the commonest word for "the physical world," was Middangeard (Old Norse Midgard), literally "the middle enclosure" (cf. yard), which is rooted in Germanic cosmology. Greek kosmos in its ecclesiastical sense of "world of people" sometimes was rendered in Gothic as manaseþs, literally "seed of man."
The usual Old Norse word was heimr, literally "abode" (see home). Words for "world" in some other Indo-European languages derive from the root for "bottom, foundation" (e.g. Irish domun, Old Church Slavonic duno, related to English deep); the Lithuanian word is pasaulis, from pa- "under" + saule "sun." Original sense in world without end, translating Latin saecula saeculorum, and in worldly. Latin saeculum can mean both "age" and "world," as can Greek aion. World power in the geopolitical sense first recorded 1900. World-class is attested from 1950, originally of Olympic athletes.

"The Last Supper"
Painting by Leonardo da Vinci, courtesy Scala/Art Resource, New York
Location: Santa Maria delle Grazie, Milan, Italy
Leonardo's work habits frustrated many of his patrons. Many times he was observed staring at his paintings for hours without ever lifting his brush to paint. When the prior of the Santa Maria delle Grazie hounded Leonardo to hurry up and finish his painting of the Last Supper, Leonardo in turn threatened to use the prior as his model for when he painted Judas.
As Handsome as David

Many who knew Leonardo wrote about how handsome he was, leading some to debate whether he served as the model for Andrea del Verrocchio's bronze statue of David.
Escaping the Law

As a young man Leonardo was arrested for engaging in sodomy. At that time in Florence the punishment for this crime included fines, exile, branding, or even execution. Luckily for Leonardo, another man accused with him also happened to have strong connections to the influential Medici family. The charges were soon dropped against both of them.
"Last Judgment"

Former Badger Chris Chelios voted into Hockey Hall of Fame
(Via UWBadgers.com MADISON, Wis.) -- Time was the only thing keeping Chris Chelios from taking his place at the Hockey Hall of Fame in Toronto and becoming the first Wisconsin men's hockey alum enshrined alongside the likes of Gordie Howe, Wayne Gretzky, Bobby Orr and Mario Lemieux. That time was the mandatory three-year waiting period from when a player retires until their eligibility into the Hall. Now that the time has passed, Chelios is one of three players and five inductees in the 2013 class for the Hockey Hall of Fame.

Federal Regulators Consider Seat Belt Ignition Interlocks on Automobiles

Seatbelt ignition interlocks haven't been used since the 70s
Seatbelts have been mandatory in the United States for decades, but many drivers and passengers still refused to wear them. Federal regulators are currently conducting more research on whether or not they will allow automakers to install seatbelt ignition interlocks that would allow the manufacturer to skip crash tests designed to protect unbelted motorists.
The seatbelt ignition interlock would prevent the automobile from starting unless the
seatbelt was clasped
. Back in 1974 the government required interlocks on nearly all 1974 year model vehicles. However, public outcry led Congress to banish the mandate.
This week the NHTSA reportedly rejected a petition from BMW that would allow the German automaker to skip certain crash testing requirements if it installed seatbelt interlocks in front seats. BMW apparently feels that it could make better use of its resources by not catering to those who refuse to buckle up. In essence, this means that if you choose not to buckle up, you're own your own, as there won't be any additional safety features to protect you in the event of a crash.
BMW M4 Coupe Concept
Although the NHTSA denied BMW's petition for now, the agency said that more information was needed before it can grant such a request.
BMW maintains that having seatbelt ignition interlocks could save hundreds of lives by increasing seatbelt use. BMW also says that using these interlocks could make vehicles lighter and more spacious by allowing them to remove knee bolsters designed to protect unbelted occupants.
Lighter weight vehicles mean vehicles with not only improved fuel efficiency, but improved performance as well.
BMW outlined three different potential types of interlocks including one that would prevent the vehicle from being started without a seatbelt in place. Another would prevent the driver from shifting out of Park and a third would allow the vehicle to be driven only at low speeds without the seatbelt being buckled.
BMW concluded that the third option would be the "least annoying and most accepted type of interlock."

From his album Speed of Life, Dirty South's "Until the End" featuring Joe Gil has a new music video. The song itself has a relatively soft and romantic feel between the melody and the lyrics, and the video, full of emotion, matches the track well.

"Masters of Their Craft: Highlights of the Smithsonian American Art Museum" Celebrates the American Creative Spirit

"Masters of Their Craft: Highlights of the Smithsonian American Art Museum" features 50 artworks that illuminate the vast creative spirit that is a hallmark of contemporary crafts. Marked by the diversity of artistic expression and approaches to materials, these artworks testify to a renaissance in American studio crafts. This exhibition opens at the Georgia Museum of Art on Sept. 13.
Crafts emphasize materiality—clay, glass, fiber, wood, metal—and the technical means by which the properties of these materials are manipulated. Imaginative conceptions and technical mastery combine in dazzling works by "masters of the medium" such as Dale Chihuly, Albert Paley, Peter Voulkos, Beatrice Wood and Betty Woodman. They are complemented by Richard Marquis, Judy McKie, Richard Mawdsley, Wayne Higby and John McQueen, among many more.
"These are among the very finest American studio crafts, displaying virtuoso technique and a creative approach to materials," said Elizabeth Broun, the museum's Margaret and Terry Stent Director of the Smithsonian American Art Museum. "Best of all, they appeal to every one of us through their references to traditional functional objects."
"The works of art shown in 'Masters of Their Craft' can be enjoyed on several levels, from the purely visual to the tactile to relationships of things we take for granted in our daily lives," said Kenneth Trapp, curator-in-charge of the Renwick Gallery. "A common thread in craft is the ritualized object—works that suggest application to a codified ritual but are in themselves no part of an accepted ritual."
The contemporary crafts movement is a fairly recent phenomenon, although the origins of the art can be traced to prehistoric time. Evolving from ancient workshops, medieval guild trades and the Industrial Revolution, which gave rise to the very industries associated with crafts today, studio crafts often pay homage to function at the same time that they discard utility as a concern. For example, Michelle Holzapfel's turned wooden "Bound Vase" (1989) of cherry burl cannot hold anything in its interior, and the exterior is carved to look like cloth. As one of the few women to have achieved success in the male-dominated field of wood turning, her art often refers to the domestic lives of women. The basic components of this object, a vase and a cloth wrap, imply that in our culture beauty and ornamentation are often associated with women.
Chihuly demonstrates how contemporary craft artisans look at past techniques and make them modern by paying tribute to the glass-making traditions practiced in Venice since the 14th century. The vessel on view, "Cobalt and Gold Leaf Venetian" (1993), is an intense cobalt blue glass, which when lighted, glows as though alive. Adding to the brilliance of the piece is the gold leaf—concentrated in some areas to suggest pollen floating on water. The piece is unabashedly excessive in its exuberant decorativeness.
Like Chihuly, Woodman draws from the past as well as from other cultures for inspiration. "Kimono Vases: Evening" (1990) are earthenware works exploring the progression of sunlight. One side is glazed with dark colors reminiscent of night, and the other side has pastel hues evoking dusk or dawn. The artist energizes the two vases by applying forms that evoke flowing kimono sleeves. These vases show her use of Italian majolica painting and Japanese costume and textile traditions.
Mary Adams' masterpiece, "Wedding Cake Basket" (1986), weaves the western European ritual of the wedding cake with splint basket making practiced by the Iroquoian peoples since the late 18th century. It is composed of four layers that rise in a conical pyramid ending in a bell-shaped top crowned by arches that support two bells. With its prominent spiral projections, the surface texture of "Wedding Cake Basket" suggests the luscious cream frosting covering the most elaborate ceremonial wedding confections.
Kent Raible's work suggests a court tradition of jewelry that flourished when royal families patronized particular jewelry makers. "Floating City" (1996) is a fantasy constructed of gold and chrome, and gemstones such as diamonds, sapphires and amethysts. When Raible conceived of the pendant, he had in mind the lost city of Atlantis. The miniature city resembles a spaceship in a science-fiction film. The extended blue chalcedony, for example, looks like it might begin to glow at any moment, a force for good.
To accompany the exhibition, the Smithsonian American Art Museum is publishing a lavishly illustrated souvenir book, "Masters of Their Craft: Highlights of the Smithsonian American Art Museum," written by Kenneth R. Trapp, curator-in-charge of the Renwick Gallery of the Smithsonian American Art Museum. Retailing for $19.95, the book will feature 52 color illustrations and brief discussions of the individual artworks in the exhibition. The book will be available for purchase at Smithsonian Stores, including the Renwick Gallery's Museum Store and on the museum's Web site.
"Masters of Their Craft: Highlights from the Smithsonian American Art Museum" is one of five exhibitions featuring the museum's collections that are touring the nation through 2005. The tour is supported in part by the Smithsonian Special Exhibitions Fund.
More information and full itineraries for each exhibition in the tour "Highlights from the Smithsonian American Art Museum" can be found on the museum's Web site at http://AmericanArt.si.edu/highlights.
The Smithsonian American Art Museum collection began with gifts of art donated to the federal government in 1829 and has evolved into the world's most important American art holdings with approximately 40,000 artworks in all media spanning more than three centuries.
While the renovation of the museum's historic building continues, American Art offers a full program of exhibitions at its Renwick Gallery (Pennsylvania Avenue at 17th Street N.W.).

In a world where technology is developing faster than we can imagine, gadgets are presenting themselves in all areas of life – work, personal care, hobbies, pastime and everything else. Many articles have been written and will be written on various gadgets, but it seems that everyone is ignoring a very important part of our lives – parties. Here are some ideas on what to look for.
There are thousands of DJ gadgets on the market that negate the need for hiring a DJ, and allow someone with relatively little DJing experience to take the reins. Choose from 2 deck MP3 mixers, many of them wireless, with iTunes integration, microphone inputs and built in effects, to top software packages that can be easily installed on and operated from your laptop. Many of these gadgets are so clever that they practically do the mixing for you. Some advice is to ensure that you are able to easily search for a particular song. Some of the displays on devices are so small and only allow you to scroll to find your desired MP3. This makes it really difficult to take requests. Get something with a keyboard, or something that is compatible with your tablet, or even smart phone, to allow you to find the songs you want, quickly, when you need to.
For the perfect amplified sound, purchase a base bin. This does not increase the volume level so much, but will make sure the base packs a punch, forcing people to get up to dance. You can buy one for around £1000 / $1500 that will do the job.
A good DJ needs a great pair of headphones that will allow you to hear your next tracks above the volume of the playing song. Bose noise cancelling headphones offer the best in the market capabilities, but there are other brands that will be good enough for party usage. Prices vary wildly, but opt for top branded products that are on special offer.
The lighting can make or break a party. Room lights are likely to completely kill the atmosphere, and continuous strobe is going to make your guests ill. The best idea is to get the right combination of lighting gadgets to ensure a perfect dance floor vibe. The great laser lighting displays that we remember from clubs in the 1980s and 1990s that were so impressive, and super expensive, have come down in price so much that you can buy your own impressive laser light display for under £100 / $150. To get the most dramatic effects, go for one with multiple coloured laser lights and crucially, sound-to-light modes, amongst other effects. Laser lights work best when there is some kind of moisture or density in the air. If your party venue allows it, purchase a dry ice machine to use in conjunction with the laser light. This will ensure the effect lingers on the dance floor, making hypnotic patterns mid-air. Other lighting choices include lava lamps, strobe lights, plasma balls, neon lights and much more.
Another nifty little party lighting trick is to purchase an ultraviolet (UV) light. This doesn't change the atmosphere of the room, as UV light is invisible. It does however work particularly well in conjunction with glow paints. If you can make some available at the party, people will have the additional entertainment factor of adorning themselves in invisible paints and then standing under the UV lights to make their patterned bodies glow.
With so many party gadgets available, it's not easy to narrow down your choices. If you are likely to have to keep to a constrained budget then the best way to shop for your party gadgets is by finding the best discounts online. There are plenty of websites that will allow you to shop for your perfect party products without breaking the bank.
So you have finally decided to purchase a piece of fitness equipment and use it from the comfort of your own home? That's really great, but it does pose the question of choosing the right one for you and your goals. There are so many varieties out there – treadmills, weights, ellipticals, and so on, and so on. Which one is the right for you?
Fitness equipment falls in two main categories – for building strength and muscle, and cardio for burning calories. If you are buying a single piece of equipment for use at home, you are probably not interested in building strength, but if you are, weights are your best option. Just make sure you start with lighter ones.
Cardio equipment that can be used at home, however, comes in all shapes and sizes, and you might find it difficult to choose. Here are the main varieties and their pros and cons:
Treadmills are those machines that mimic walking or running. They burn lots of calories, but are hard on the joints so be careful with the workout. The great thing about the treadmill is that it has a wide variety of settings – you can adjust the speed and the incline, meaning that you can exercise at your own pace. If you decide to get a treadmill, keep in mind that the belt length should be appropriate for your stride - if you are a taller person with longer legs, you will need a bigger treadmill.
Ellipticals are probably the most widespread fitness equipment found at home. They combine two great qualities – burning lots of calories and not as much joint strain.
Stationary bikes are also quite popular because they too go easy on the joints and are great for burning calories. In order to enjoy their benefits, however, it is vital that you adjust the seat height properly. Also make sure that the seat is comfortable and fits your bottom well.
Rowing machines involve lots of muscle groups in the exercise so they burn lots of calories and because of that you might choose to buy one. But there is a catch – if you have decided to start working out now and your body is still not used to the strain, using such a machine would mean that you will get tired extremely fast and not get the chance to burn even the number of calories you would on a stationary bike.
General tips:
The most important thing is to get a machine that feels right to you. Don't get it just because it's the fastest fat-burner, or because it's the least expensive one. If you truly want to lose some weight, you will need a machine that draws you in and doesn't bore you out of the workout.
If you live in Australia, try taking a look at sites such as AustralianCoupons4u.com because you can often find some amazing coupon codes that offer you a pretty decent discount when you use them.
Before you make the purchase, make sure that the hand grips and the lower surface are not sliding and feel comfortable to you.
Also make sure that you have enough space at home before you buy anything – measure the available room prior to going to the store.

Alumnus Adam Habib begins residency with Pixar
Adam Habib is going places as a young cinematographer. In May 2010, the Carolina alumnus (2004, English) begins a yearlong residency with Pixar's Feature Film Division in Emeryville, Calif., near San Francisco. A strong foundation in writing from his alma mater is why he gives to the University's Annual Fund each year with a designation of "English."
Adam Habib
"The University of South Carolina is where I figured out who I was going to be, and what I was going to do," said the Durham, N.C., native. "So I think it's important for me to start giving back to Carolina now, knowing that I'll be able to give more later in life. For me, the Annual Fund is my chance to give back, continuously."
Habib developed his passion for film production while taking media arts classes as an upperclassman, which led to a faculty opportunity at Ngee Ann Polytechnic in Singapore. He commends his media arts professors, who included Laura Kissel in film production, Susan Courtney in film studies, and former faculty members Karla Berry in film production and Dan Streible in film preservation.
"They are really plugged into their fields, and the professional connections they shared have literally taken me around the world," said Habib, who also has an MFA in cinematography from the University of Southern California School of Cinematic Arts, where he was a Thomas Moore Scholar.
At Pixar, the home of computer-animated movie classics such as Toy Story and the more recent Up, Habib is working with the top storytellers in the business. As a resident in the camera and staging department, Habib works with the team that's responsible for composing shots within the virtual movie set.
To date, Habib's camerawork has been screened at festivals worldwide, including Rotterdam and Sundance, and earlier this year he was nominated for the American Society of Cinematogaphers Heritage Award for his work on the short film, Before I Wake.
"My background so far has been entirely in live-action filmmaking, so this experience at Pixar, where the process takes place entirely inside the computer, is a chance to really expand my skills," he said.

text: I don't know if they show Real Housewives-Atlanta in jail, but unless Phaedra decides to come see Apollo Nida on visiting days, then the only time he is going to see his wife or kids for the next 8 years is going to be on television. Apollo was sentenced yesterday to 8 years in jail. He could have received 30 years in jail, but because he ratted out a bunch of other people, the sentence was just a fraction of the maximum. Still though, this is not the California prison system where eight years means two. He will probably end up serving close to seven years and that is if he is a model prisoner, which is probably iffy at this point. He had it made. He didn't need to do the things he did. He could have just stumbled around trying to make a buck or two and doing appearances for money, but he went for the big bucks and got busted and maybe he can hope that Joe Giudice ends up as his cellmate and they can get a camera in there and film a Real Housewives spinoff.

Nineteen-year-old Joshua Stepakoff woke up Friday morning in his home in Northridge to headlines on his television that flashed him back to when he was 6 years old and caught up in an infamous mass shooting here in the San Fernando Valley.
"I was just appalled to find out that it was the exact same thing that happened to me," Stepakoff said Friday afternoon. "The pictures of the children being reunited with their families, all the parents waiting to hear about their children, all the kids being taken out of the school - all those images were identical to what I saw in 1999."
Stepakoff was one of five people - three children, a teen and a senior citizen - wounded on Aug. 10, 1999 at the North Valley Jewish Community Center when white supremacist Buford O'Neal Furrow Jr. blasted about 70 gunshots into the complex.
All of the people shot inside the center survived their injuries, but Furrow later shot and killed a Filipino-American postal carrier as he was delivering the mail.
He later fled by cab to Las Vegas, then turned himself in at an FBI office there. His crimes were described as motivated by racial hatred and mental illness. In 2001, he pleaded guilty to 16 felony counts, including murder and is currently serving a life sentence in prison.
A decade after the shooting Furrow wrote a letter to the Daily News from his prison cell in Terra Haute, Ind. expressing regret for the crime and renouncing his white supremacist views.
Thirteen years after his brush with death, Stepakoff is now a gun control activist who often speaks at events hosted by L.A.-based Women Against Gun Violence. He was scheduled to appear on Piers Morgan's CNN show Friday night. But earlier Friday, Stepakoff said he found it difficult to speak after learning more about the Newton, Conn. elementary school shooting.
"Usually I have no problem talking about gun violence and my experience, but today I felt so many things I couldn't express myself," he said. "I'm scared, I'm angry, I'm sad and I just wish I could go out there and help everybody. I'm filled with disgust knowing that we've let this happen."
Like many activists, Stepakoff hopes Friday's massacre will spark more action on gun control.
"I don't want people to think I'm trying to take away their Second Amendment rights," he said. "I'm just trying to make our communities a safer place. There's no need for people to be walking around with AK-47s."
"There has been talk - always talk - of strengthening the control that we have on guns, but it's never acted upon," he added, specifically pointing to the Assault Weapons Ban that he believes should be renewed. "People need to understand the severity of this. There are people killed every single day because the wrong person has access to guns."
In the meantime, Stepakoff wants to tell the children who survived, and who will have to carry the heavy memory of Friday's shooting with them for the rest of their lives, that there is hope.
"I had nightmares for a while. I used to be too scared to sleep over friends' houses. I didn't like the dark and it was difficult to live daily. But those things kind of die down a little bit," he said. "It never fully goes away, but I'm not that bad anymore and I'm thankful for that."
Stepakoff said what has helped is talking about his experience and trying to help with gun reform.
"Telling people what you saw and what you heard, as emotional as it might be, can help," he said. "During the process it will hurt, but there can be a positive change from all that hurt. Yes, the short-term things are horrific, but the long-term outcome is what you hopefully can use to push you along."

GREENFIELD, Iowa – One by one, they stood up and told everyone inside the Adair County 4H/FFA Building what they had learned.
One loved the exotic cats. Another, giving a sheep an ultrasound. Yet another extolled the virtue of the Chicago Federal Reserve and holding $1 million at "the bank for banks," and one more loved Kinze Manufacturing's innovation center.
What was this? "What I Did on My Summer Vacation?"
No. It was a wrap-up meeting for SOFA XX – the 20th incarnation of a unique program that allows students from Adair, Cass and surrounding counties interested in careers in agriculture to experience potential career paths beyond traditional production.
SOFA – which stands for "Speak Out For Agriculture" – began in 1994 with a day-long trip to Des Moines to visit the Des Moines Register, Iowa Public Television and an ad agency. It has expanded into a program that has traversed the state of Iowa while also visiting Illinois, Kansas, Missouri, Nebraska and South Dakota with stops at numerous ag-related businesses along the way.
For the 48 students involved in this year's trip – a three-day visit to Chicago and the surrounding area – it was an experience that couldn't be duplicated. Each student pays $50, but around 75 percent of the program's costs are paid by donations from a lengthy list of local and state-level sponsors.
"I've really enjoyed every trip we've been on and all of the workshops, stuff like that, and the best part's been going again and again, how it changes and how you can learn more and more," said Adair County native Merritt Caviness, a five-time SOFA participant who has already joined his family farm business after finishing his high school education.
"It's always a different experience every time. It's a diverse experience, and it's really an amazing learning experience, and I have to thank the people involved for making that happen. It's a really awesome program and I'm glad to be part of it."
SOFA XX began with a visit to the Kinze Innovation Center in Williamsburg, where the group saw the latest in precision agriculture innovations in Kinze's visitor center.
That was followed by a stop at a lock and dam on the Illinois River near Ottawa, Ill., where the group also received a visit from an ADM official who explained how grain is produced and exported through river channels from Illinois to China.
The group then traveled to Chicago, where they toured the Chicago Board of Trade and the Chicago Federal Reserve, observing how money affected futures trading.
SOFA participants also found time for a service trip to the McCormick Tribune YMCA, where they educated inner-city children on agriculture through games and presentations aimed at various age groups.
The following day, they visited Joliet Junior College and explored programs in animal science and horticulture before visiting a livestock operation and stopping at Grand Vale Farm outside Dunlap, Ill., home of agriculture photojournalist Erin Ehnle.
"What she does with her images and texts speaks to so many people," said Adair County Extension agriculture programming coordinator Kathy Rohrig, who has been involved with SOFA since its inception. "For kids this age, how important it is to tell your story, to tell the story of agriculture and how important it is that we put correct information out there when we're bombarded from so many areas with misinformation, and it's so important to have people telling the story of agriculture."
2014's trip was the biggest and best for a program that began with a simple idea.
Twenty years ago, Adair County Extension director Deb Hall started the program along with her husband, Cass County Extension director Rich Hall, after seeing a need for greater agriculture-based education among local students.
Rohrig has been connected since 1994, first as a member of the planning committee while her daughter and son were involved, and then as a program advisor for the past 10 years.
Students are eligible to go on their first SOFA trip following their seventh grade year, and many continue with the program through high school graduation, going on as many as six trips and transitioning into leadership roles with the planning committee, maturing and growing their communication skills along the way.
"It's pretty amazing to watch the transformation of kids, their first trip when they've just gotten out of seventh grade and how they stay with us through when they graduate from high school," Rohrig said. "How accomplished they've become."
Caviness embraced being a mentor for younger SOFA members, too.
"It's always kind of cool to show them different things you can see at different workshops," he said. "Everyone hears what the presenter says, but if you can throw in your two cents and help them learn something else, that's rewarding. Being an older member, you can sometimes chime in with other information. Seeing people learn is always rewarding, and teachers get to experience that a lot."
Michael Cooley openly admits that he got into SOFA "just for the bus ride and getting to go to a hotel with a pool." But for the Orient native, son of a high school ag educator, it became so much more.
He joined the SOFA planning committee and helped plan trips, finding group rates at hotels along the way and maximizing the experiences possible for a short bus trip to places like Kansas City and South Dakota, seeing television stations and beef genetic facilities and making academic visits to Iowa State University, Kirkwood Community College and South Dakota State University.
"I was able to see the agricultural field even if I didn't want to be involved in a traditional sense with production,' he said. "There were a lot of careers that sparked my interest and caught my eye."
Something clearly sunk in: Cooley attended Iowa State and is now Greene County Extension coordinator.
"(SOFA) helped me know that even if I wasn't completely an ag broadcaster, I could still promote the message of agriculture in marketing and communications," he said.
For volunteer Beth Baudler, SOFA is "very near and dear to my heart."
Growing up north of Fontanelle, Baudler was a late-comer to the 4-H program and experienced her first SOFA trip following her eighth grade year. She said working on the planning committee "really expanded my skill set" and played a big role in her future.
"Just the great opportunities being part of the planning committee, communication, leadership and meeting so many people really impacted my decision to go to Iowa State," she said.
Baudler, a 2011 Iowa State graduate in animal science, now lives on her grandparents' old farm north of Fontanelle working for Iowa Gold, a company that works with ethanol products and cattle nutrition, while also raising animals on the farm.
SOFA, Baudler said, let her know about all the avenues an agriculture career could provide.
"I think that's what's really neat about the SOFA program," she said. "We look at food science, horticulture, the communication side of ag, all those different things that are part of agriculture, but we might not think of. It's just really cool to see all the jobs for those kids."
SOFA has been around long enough to produce a second generation. Several participants now have children in the program, and others, like Baudler and Cooley, serve as advisors and/or chaperones.
"It was fun," Cooley said. "It brought back a lot of memories. Not a lot had changed. It was great to see some of the high school kids be leaders and role models for younger students who asked questions after each stop.
"It was fun to see kids just as interested as I was, asking questions and really paying attention well. From the adult side, it was great to see a lot of well-behaved participants. We received a lot of compliments from the people in Chicago."
The returnees' actions show how much SOFA has truly impacted its participants.
"I think it speaks to the integrity and the quality of the program that they will give back and they generously give back to their time," Rohrig said. "They know personally what it meant to them and how it impacted their life, and maybe changed some direction of their life and what they wanted to do or pursue, so I think that's why SOFA graduates or alumni continue to give back in different ways."
At the same time, they're shaping the next generation of agriculture – right before their eyes.
"I got to be roommates with seven girls at a hostel in Chicago," Baudler said. "Their stories about agriculture – the future is so bright, with all these passionate people. I think that's what's neat about this SOFA program. It's giving them a chance to truly speak out for agriculture and share their stories in the program."

I have read a lot of articles regarding the safety issues in having seafood when pregnant. Is it safe to have seafood when pregnant?

Dear sonu84,
Thank you for your question.
Pregnant women should avoid eating raw shellfish (such as oysters, prawns, crabs and clams) because they could have bacteria present which could cause food poisoning. You can eat cooked shellfish in pregnancy because this kills any bacteria and viruses.
In terms of fish, pregnant women (and women trying for a baby) should avoid: shark, swordfish and marlin. They contain high levels of mercury which could be harmful to the baby's development. You should also only eat two portions of tuna a week; again because of the mercury levels.
You should eat two portions of oily fish (such as salmon, mackerel, trout, sardines) a week in pregnancy but no more than this.
Please do post back if you have any further questions.
Warm wishes,

Did the Thompson vs Truesdale fight have that 'beef' feel to it? Or has all that jazz been squashed?
Did Irving fight MMA or K1?
The poster formally known as Steve_Langford.
Irving fought MMA and was 20kg lighter than his opponent. Fair play to the guy for stepping with a few days notice, and even though not the result Denham wanted it made sure he got a fight after all his hard work.
Seen The stream of the event good show Rab seemed to want to touch gloves etc but Thompson just ignored him and seemed frost even after the fight was over. Shows with heavyweights looking for quality bouts should be using Martin he's as good as anyone domestically
Pete Irving was unbelievable in beating Denham

Home/water birth with high blood pressure
My son is almost two years old and my husband and I are looking to start conceiving again. My blood pressure went up with my last pregnancy and the midwife didn't believe that I would be a good candidate for home birth. That led to a rough hospital labor with more interventions than I would have wanted.
Bub was born weighing 3,750 grams and healthy as could be at 42 weeks. My blood pressure did not go up during labour and everything went well with out complications.
Would I be a good candidate for home/water labour in the future? What can I do with another pregnancy to stop my blood pressure from going up?
Thank you very much for your help!

Dear dsmum,
Thank you for your question. I'm so sorry to hear that you did not have a positive birth experience with your first son.
Generally speaking, women who have high blood pressure in pregnancy are not considered to be good candidates for a home birth. However, one way around this is that sometimes a woman goes down the homebirth route but agrees to go into hospital if, during labour, her blood pressure rises. It depends on what your blood pressure levels are.
Do you know if you were classed as having mild, moderate or severe hypertension? Were your prescribed any medication for this?
Some studies have shown that using a birthing pool can lower your blood pressure when in labour. Many hospitals also have birthing pools available even if you chose to birth in hospital. A hospital birth can also be a positive birthing experience and it can be natural and low intervention. But you are right; intervention rates are far lower in women who plan a homebirth.
Having an active lifestyle and eating a healthy, balanced diet can help to keep your blood pressure levels under control. It's important to keep an eye on your salt intake when you have previously experienced high blood pressure in pregnancy. Has your blood pressure now returned to normal levels?
With warm wishes,
