Canadians add second trophy to case
Vancouver defeats Boise, defends Northwest League crown
By Jonathan Raymond / Special to MLB.com | September 9, 2012 10:44 PM ET
Kellen Sweeney ignited a seven-run eighth inning with a two-run single and Art Charles capped it with a bases-loaded triple Sunday as Vancouver rallied for a 12-9 victory at Boise and its second straight title.
A year after hoisting the Freitas Trophy for the first time in team history, the Canadians became the first team to win back-to-back Northwest League championships since Salem-Keizer in 2006-07.
"I can't put it into words. It's one of those things where this team, all year long, have fought, they battled, they worked for it," Vancouver manager Clayton McCullough said. "I'm so happy for the staff, the players and all the people in Vancouver who give us a great setup.
"Our guys came through. That's a tremendous feeling. And hats off to Boise, they put up a heck of a fight for three good days, but I'm proud of the way our guys pulled it out."
After winning the West Division first-half title and going 46-30 during the regular season, Vancouver swept Everett in the best-of-3 semifinals. In the Championship Series, the Canadians won the opener, 10-7, before the Hawks responded with a 3-2 victory on Saturday night.
In Sunday's one-game showdown, Vancouver quickly fell behind, 4-2, then scored three times in the fourth to take the lead. Boise answered in the bottom of the inning and went ahead, 7-5.
In the eighth, Christian Lopes and Dwight Smith drew one-out walks before an error by third baseman Jeimer Candelario loaded the bases. Reliever Eduardo Orozco struck out D.J. Davis but plunked Jorge Flores to force in a run.
Sweeney followed with a line drive to left field to put the Canadians in front and Charles cleared the bases with a shot to right. And when second baseman Gioskar Amaya threw the ball away, Charles raced home to make it 12-7.
"It was intense the whole way. They came back and did a great job," McCullough said. "But our guys have been there before, been down and knew how to come back. We strung at-bats together in that big inning -- Kellen Sweeney, who had so many clutch hits, and Art Charles delivering the big blow.
"It's important to see kids in a pressure situation like that come through. And we found out our guys were winners."
Sweeney went 3-for-4 with two runs scored and Charles was 2-for-5, finishing with nine RBIs in five playoff games. Tucker Frawley contributed a two-run homer and Blue Jays' No. 10 prospect D.J. Davis, was 3-for-5 with a run scored.
"This team was not gonna quit, was gonna fight the whole way," McCullough said. "To see their faces, their jubilation running out of the dugout after that third out was made [in the ninth], celebrating together, you know it took so much from everyone we had."
Dan Vogelbach, the Cubs' No. 13 prospect, homered, singled and drove in four runs for the Hawks. Candelaria added two hits and two RBIs, while Amaya was 2-for-6 with two runs scored and an RBI.
Boise fell one win short of its seventh championship and first since 2004.

Heart failure is most often a lifelong
illness that will require frequent changes in your medicine schedule and
regular follow-up with your doctor. Over the years, many things will affect
the course of your disease, including other illnesses that you develop, your
age, your diet, your ability to tolerate and comply with your treatment, and
hopefully the development of new drugs to treat heart failure.
Several important aspects of monitoring the course of your illness will
help you to optimize your treatment:
Heart failure drug or class of drugs
Necessary monitoring
Vasodilators (hydralazine and nitrates)

quote:Originally posted by leighI was pretty impressed with both of them in last night's game. Cervenka has more talent than I thought. Hudler had a great game and I hope to see more of it! It was a good test for the early season and the Flames dominated the game, but as talented as the Oilers are there are much bigger measuring sticks out there (Penguins, Rangers etc)Side note, loved Bouwmeester last night! Not sure if it's a new him, but it was great!

OTTAWA — Paul Shin calls the United States 'a wonder country.'
"There is no country like the United States," he said recently while speaking to the Ottawa Kiwanis. He should know. Shin is an immigrant from Korea. He escaped Korea to come to the United States when Communism was taking over the country.
was the founder of Medilab, the company that did testing for the
Kiwanis Health Fair for over 25 years before he sold the company several
years ago.

Allah has created the testing in the life of this world in such a way that only those servants who use their reason can be happy. At the essence of this test is a very simple, very comprehensible, easily solved and easily renewable system. But those who do not look with the eye described by Allah in the Qur'an, who do not use the information provided in the Qur'an, cannot see this simplicity concealed within the test. They thus spend much of their lives in a very troubled manner; lifeless, weary and unhappy. Whenever these people encounter any difficulty they regard it as terribly complex and insoluble. That perspective literally becomes a reflex. They almost never even consider acting in the light of any other perspective in the face of difficulties.
The fact is, however, that there is no room in the life of anyone who looks at the test in the life of this world in terms of the perspective revealed in the Qur'an for confusion and insolubility, or for them to be negatively affected by difficulties and troubles. There are absolutely certain truths that anyone who believes in Allah will also believe in. This information enable a believer to take decisions compatible with the moral values of the Qur'an by employing his conscience. The Qur'anic truths in which a person believes therefore impact on that person's life at every moment. When confronted by an obstacle or difficulty, since a person lives by the moral values taught by the Qur'an, even the most difficult tests in this world, the most wide-ranging and difficult-seeming problems become simple and easily resolved. Events that cause great unhappiness, sorrow, regret and distress to people who do not look with the eye of faith actually bestow peace, joy and happiness on believers, since they employ that perspective.
As stated above, what produces such different conclusions in believers compared to non-believers, is that believers have a good knowledge of and belief in the truths of the Qur'an. These truths of faith are that they know that;
* Allah is omniscient,
• Allah is infinitely just,
• Allah creates everything that happens on earth, great or small,
• Allah is infinitely compassionate, loving and forgiving,
• Allah responds to all prayers in the best possible manner,
• Allah will send divine aid to His servants in difficulty and trouble,
• That submitting to our Lord, with His infinite knowledge, reason, justice, mercy and love, is a great source of ease,
• That people live their destinies, and that even if they come to earth thousands of times they will still live the same immutable destiny, and that destiny is created in the most perfect form for them,
• None of the entities people see around them have any independent power; that every entity behaves as Allah ordains and speaks the words Allah commands,
• Allah creates goodness and wisdom for believers in all events,
• Good and evil come from Allah alone; people have no power of their own to prevent harm or bring about good,
• That people have therefore no right to be angry with themselves; that they are weak and helpless entities who live their own destinies; that they have no power to do anything unless Allah so wishes,
• Placing one's trust in Allah and seeing goodness and wisdom in all things is an obligation in the eyes of the Qur'an,
• In the same way, there is no room in the moral values of the Qur'an for unhappiness, pessimism or sorrow,
• That troubles and difficulties are a great blessing in terms of earning merit in the Hereafter, and that displaying the proper fortitude in the face of them is a sign of true faith,
• That it is revealed in the Qur'an that believers will be tested with very harsh circumstances, for which reason the troubles one faces are a manifestation of those verses,
• Earthly desires are people's enemies, and that waging a struggle of faith against them and overcoming their evils because of love of Allah will attract the finest reward in Allah's sight,
• Satan has declared war on man, that he uses events that go against earthly desires to cause believers to deviate, and that it is not Muslim behavior to heed his whisperings and adopt his moral values,
• Troubles, difficulties and events that go against earthly desires are a valuable opportunity for believers to demonstrate their love, respect, loyalty and devotion to Allah,
• Allah's approval is above all the blessings of this world, and that He will give believers joy, peace and happiness incomparable greater than any blessing in this world.
Even if everyone in the world is on his side and if everything is turning out as he wishes, a person can still not know a moment's peace or happiness if – Allah forbid – Allah is displeased with him. But if he displays the kind of moral values he hopes Allah will find pleasing, if he exhibits a proper fortitude and submission to and trust in Allah in the face of difficulties and troubles, then he will still enjoy the kind of joy, peace and happiness he has never known before, even if no other people are content with him. The signs that someone lives by such moral values can be seen in him both physically and psychologically. The most important of these signs are as follows:
• He radiates the joy and light of faith.2009-06-03 18:18:50
• He displays the same rational, mature, moderate, joyful and balanced behavior in the face of blessings and of difficulties.
• No imperfection ever manifests itself in his words or logical framework. He never uses language incompatible with the moral values of the Qur'an, or with faith and submission to Allah. He never uses words suggestive of hopelessness, despair or helplessness, which also have no place in the Qur'an.
• He always behaves favorably to Allah, faith and the moral values of the Qur'an. His moral values always indicate that he trusts in Allah, is fully aware of destiny and that there is goodness and wisdom in everything that happens, and that all people and events are under the control of Allah and that Allah will always help true believers.
• He is aware of the transitory nature of the life of this world and that believers' true, eternal life will be in the Hereafter. He never therefore worries about material or other losses in this world. He never forgets that all these losses will bring him gains in the Hereafter. He therefore regards all troubles and difficulties visited on his life or possessions as blessings.
• No matter what his losses or troubles, he still maintains a joy and optimism of winning the approval, love and friendship of Allah, which is far greater than all the blessings of this world.
• Everyone who knows that all things are for the best, who knows that problems and troubles come from Allah and who welcomes them with joy will always be full of love for his surroundings. Since nothing ever impairs a believer's moderation, joy and equilibrium, he still treats people who make difficulties for him, behave badly and display poor moral values with a very superior and profound love. He never departs from the moral values of the Qur'an by becoming caught up in anger with such people. He knows that Allah creates the mistakes that people make and that He also creates these for the best. No defects can ever be seen, therefore, in his attitude toward other people. On the contrary, because of his powerful faith he is always affectionate, compassionate, forgiving and full of love in his dealings with others.

Pantene Pro-V Breakage Defense DEEP CONDITIONING MASK - 7.6oz jar
All I can say is WOW! Pantene is by far the most advanced of the drugstore haircare brands in my opinion, and this lastest new product in the Relaxed and Natural line is proof of it! I used this mask 2x week for several weeks (after using the Pantene Relaxed and Natural Shampoo). The cosistency is thick and creamy - sort of like pudding. I applied and used with heat under a bonnet dryer as well as without. Upon rinsing out my hair was super soft, moisturized without being greasy, and best of all, shiny! When blowing out my hair it felt amazing and swingy and it really DID help with my hair breakage. I will continue to use and am looking forward to trying more of the Breakage Defense line of products.

Every spring I marvel at my rhubarb plant as it pokes through the last of the snow. It is the first sign of spring and for that reason alone I adore this vegetable that we treat like a fruit. Its tartness just begs for sugar. In fact, I sometimes dip those first tender stalks in sugar and eat it raw.
Those less dedicated to eating rhubarb in its pure form will love it baked together with strawberries and a sweet, crumbly, streusel topping. I love this crisp with a scoop of vanilla ice cream for dessert, but even more for breakfast the next morning.
Strawberry-Rhubarb Crisp
Serves 6 to 8
Prep Time: 20 minutes
Baking Time: 60 minutes
Level: Easy
For the fruit filling:
1 pound fresh or frozen strawberries, cut into slices
6 cups rhubarb, cut into 1/2-inch slices
1 cup sugar
1/3 cup cornstarch
1 teaspoon lemon zest
1/2 teaspoon freshly grated ginger (or 3/4 teaspoon ground)
For the crisp topping:
2/3 cup all-purpose flour
2/3 cup brown sugar, well packed
2/3 cup old-fashioned rolled oats
1/2 teaspoon salt
1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon
1/4 teaspoon ground ginger
6 tablespoons unsalted butter, melted
- Preheat oven to 350 degrees F.
- In a large bowl, toss together the strawberries, rhubarb, sugar, cornstarch, zest, and ginger. Place the mixture in a shallow 8-cup baking dish. Loosely cover with foil and bake for 30 minutes.
- While the fruit mixture is baking, make the crisp topping. In a medium-sized bowl, mix together the flour, brown sugar, oats, salt, cinnamon, ginger and butter, until the butter is distributed evenly.
- After the fruit has baked for 30 minutes, remove the foil and cover with the crisp topping. Return to the oven and bake, uncovered, for an additional 30 minutes.
- Serve at any temperature with ice cream as dessert or even a dollop of yogurt as breakfast.

Master of Science Degree in Athletic Training
Master of Science Degree in Athletic Training
Providing a Competitive Edge for Success on the Field and Beyond
Whether on the sidelines at a high school football game or in the dugout during a professional baseball game, Athletic Trainers are part of the first line of defense against athletic injury. The skills of Athletic Trainers have been sought and valued by sports medicine specialists and other physicians for more than 60 years. More than 50 percent of athletic trainers work outside of school athletic settings; they provide services to people of all ages. Athletic trainers may work in physician offices as physician extenders, or may work in rural and urban hospitals, hospital emergency rooms, urgent and ambulatory care centers, military hospitals, physical therapy clinics, secondary schools, colleges/universities, youth leagues, commercial settings and professional sports teams.
As the U.S. continues to focus on reducing the effects of obesity and other chronic diseases, it is important that people have access to health care professionals who can support lifelong, safe physical activity. Athletic trainers are an important part of this health care workforce, especially as the demand for workers is projected to greatly increase over the next decade.
Program Highlights
The Athletic Training program is rooted in theoretical knowledge and the clinical application of current procedures and techniques in sport injury management and is accredited by the Commission on Accreditation of Athletic Training Education (CAATE).
The Athletic Training program offers you:
- Diverse faculty with strong clinical experience in a variety of settings
- Enhanced learning through clinical education experiences
- Professional leadership skills and development
- Small classes facilitating a more personalized learning experience
- Affordable tuition, whether you live in state or out of state
The Curriculum
This 42-credit program is accredited by the Commission on Accreditation of Athletic Training Education (CAATE) and prepares the athletic training student with the necessary academic and clinical experiences to sit for the National Athletic Trainer's Association (NATA) Board of Certification (BOC) examination. The entry-level program is designed for individuals who may have an undergraduate degree in another field, but would now like to become a BOC certified athletic trainer. The program includes courses in injury prevention, recognition, assessment and immediate care of athletic injuries; health care administration; and professional development and responsibility.
The Athletic Training program is a full-time two year graduate degree DAY program with classes beginning in mid-August. Theory and laboratory classes tend to be taught on Tuesday and Thursday mornings with daily clinical rotations occurring every afternoon and weekend days. Two hundred hours of clinical experience must be completed each full semester while in the program. This relates to an average of 15 to 20 hours per week.
According to the U.S. Department of Labor, employment of athletic trainers is expected to grow by 30 percent between 2010 and 2020, much faster than the average for all occupations.

Windows Install
To install on windows, you'll need to perform 2 major steps:
- install ActivePerl
- run the geoqo installer script.
Install ActivePerl
ActivePerl is the perl implementation for Windows. In order to run geoqo, you'll need an interpreter, and this is the easiest to install. Grab the latest windows version from:
DO NOT GET THE 5.10.* RELEASE YET; please use the 5.8.8 release instead
The form to fill out on that page is optional , so can just hit "continue" if you want to skip it. Assuming you're running windows, you'll want to download the windows x86 MSI file on the next page. Save it and run the downloaded file to install Perl.
The installation should go smoothly, the only really important thing to make sure is the box that says something like "Add to path" is CHECKED.
Being windows, you may need to reboot or log off at least before continuing. Someone should verify this?
Get and Install GeoQO
Once the perl installer finishes, download the latest version of geoqo:
Unzip it to whatever directory you'd like (I use Desktop\geoqo-1.11). Open the resulting folder and double click on the INSTALL-WINDOWS.pl file (you may not see the .pl extension). Follow all the directions it provides you. It'll whip through a number of other installs required in order to get geoqo up and running.
(the next time you update geoqo run the same script but it won't need to install all the pre-requisites again).
Run GeoQO
GeoQO should be in your Start menu now.
Notes about GeoQO On Windows
Next, make sure you read Extra notes about Windows which provides additional "gotchas" about GeoQO on windows.
You run geoqo but nothing happens
This is actually likley do to the same problem as the next one, so follow the steps there:
no such table: parameters
The INSTALL script should have set up a default geoqo database for you, but at least in 0.8 it may not be doing that properly. The fix is easy and only needs to be done once:
- click on the start menu and go to "Run..."
- At the window type: geoqo --setup-database
That should be it! If it's still not working, let me (Yamar) know.

Anne Hathaway
Among Hollywood's ever hot-and-cold crowd of 20-something-year-old performers, Anne Hathaway is one of most well-rounded actresses in the bunch, and her versatility shines through in her wide-ranging demographic appeal. Once pegged as a family-friendly actress for her roles in The Princess Diaries films, she's kept the kids on her side with Ella Enchanted and Alice in Wonderland, won the mainstream crowd over with breezy entertainment in Get Smart and Bride Wars and made Oscar stand up and take notice with her performances in Rachel Getting Married and Brokeback Mountain. And people took notice in a very different way when she bared her skin in Love and Other Drugs.
She's hosted the Oscars with James Franco and the Nobel Peace Prize Contest with Denzel Washington, but perhaps most importantly she snuck into every adolescent boy's dreams after starring as Catwoman in Christopher Nolan's The Dark Knight Rises.
She's hosted the Oscars with James Franco and the Nobel Peace Prize Contest with Denzel Washington, but perhaps most importantly she snuck into every adolescent boy's dreams after starring as Catwoman in Christopher Nolan's The Dark Knight Rises.
AppealFor someone who once considered becoming a nun, the lovely Anne Hathaway is quite a liberated lady. An interest in paintings in childhood familiarized her with nudes, and since she considers acting to be an art form, she doesn't say no to taking it all off on film. In a curious twist, she has more reservations about posing for a temperature-rising magazine spread, because she feels that lacks artistic value. Anne Hathaway's high artistic standards also extend to her nightlife, where she likes to seek out the best in music and dance. For this, she relies on her faithful crew of gay pals to take her out to the latest and greatest artistic dance clubs.
Anne Hathaway likes the simple things when it comes to dating. That means dressing comfortably, watching some good art, and just sharing some solid romantic chemistry. She felt a lot of this with Raffaello Follieri, a real estate guru who was her companion for four years. Early on, it was bliss and they enjoyed a rule of never spending more than two weeks apart, but things crumbled when in 2008 he was implicated in a multi-million dollar fraud involving his charitable organization. Though Anne Hathaway was not directly related to any criminal activities, the realization that her boyfriend was a suspected criminal did not sit well with her. She did heal, though, and has now married fellow New York-born actor Adam Shulman.
SuccessThere was a time when Anne Hathaway was seen by critics and audiences as the flavor of the month for wholesome entertainment. She can thank the Disney-funded Princess Diaries films for painting her with that brush. While these family films did jump-start her career, they have not come to define her. Through her own efforts, Anne Hathaway increased her stock with the movie-going masses with the one-two punch of Brokeback Mountain and her Oscar-nominated turn in Rachel Getting Married, where her propensity for playing cowboy games with Jake Gyllenhaal and coping with the effects of alcoholism showed that she meant business.
Luckily for Anne Hathaway, the new label of "serious actress" hasn't taken away her right to be versatile or to have a good time on screen. As moviegoers, we can believe her in anything, whether she's spying it up with Steve Carell in Get Smart, surviving Meryl Streep's fashion insanity in The Devil Wears Prada, or getting wacky with Johnny Depp in Tim Burton's Alice in Wonderland. Her star power in Hollywood was fully legitimized when she was asked to host the 2011 Oscars along with James Franco.
But as actress first and a movie star second, Anne Hathaway's ultimate goal is just to make quality films, and if things keep going her way, she'll have plenty of opportunities to do exactly that.
Anne Hathaway BiographyEarly on, Anne Hathaway's core religious values in Catholicism were guiding her toward a future filled with religious faith rather than Hollywood fame. Though her mother, Kate McCauley, was an actress, and Anne Hathaway enjoyed playing dress-up and imagining herself as various creative characters, her first career ambition was to become a nun. This career path changed abruptly at 15 when she realized that her religious background would put her at odds with her brother, who was gay. Based on that, Anne Hathaway chose acting instead, and movie audiences would come to be all the better for it.
At New Jersey's Millburn High School, Anne Hathaway got her acting feet wet in various school productions, including Once Upon a Mattress, which saw her nominated for a Paper Mill Playhouse Rising Star Award in the category of Best Performance by a High School Actress. She also enjoyed the added bonus of training at New York's highly respected Barrow Group Theater Company. Anne Hathaway's acting highs were matched by the lows of a difficult battle with depression. Through her own strength, she eventually conquered the self-loathing and anxiety that came from her darker moments, and pushed forward to begin the career that she would come to love.
Anne Hathaway Stars In The Princess Diaries And Brokeback MountainMere days after performing with her high school chorus at Carnegie Hall, Anne Hathaway was cast in the new FOX series, Get Real, in 1999. The series was a bust and she went on to enroll at New York University, but an audition came her way for 2001's The Princess Diaries. According to director Garry Marshall, she wiped out during the audition and immediately got the part. Anne Hathaway remembers the story differently, but irregardless, she won the role of an unpopular girl who learns that she is, in fact, royalty. The plot connected well with its royalty-seeking tween audience, making the Disney film a hit and spawning an equally-successful sequel in 2004.
While Anne Hathaway wasn't outwardly disappointed that the Princess Diaries films -- and to a lesser degree 2004's Ella Enchanted -- had branded her as an actress for family movies, she wanted to show that she could do more. As such, she began to play totally against the type, first as a drug and sex-chasing teen in the steamy Havoc, which never saw a theatrical release but picked up a significant following on DVD for obvious reasons (read: nudity). Anne Hathaway had more success in the serious role of playing the struggling wife to cowboy Jake Gyllenhaal in Brokeback Mountain, which was instrumental in getting her cast opposite her screen hero, Meryl Streep, in The Devil Wears Prada. While the role of assistant to a fashion boss from hell didn't win her any goodwill from Vogue editor Anna Wintour (who inspired the film), the rest of Hollywood, including Meryl Streep, was impressed with her skills.
Anne Hathaway Stars In Get Smart And Rachel Getting MarriedAfter gamely playing Jane Austen in 2007's Becoming Jane, Anne Hathaway bought a ticket aboard the Hollywood remake train for the big-screen reboot of the beloved TV series, Get Smart. As Agent 99, the no-nonsense special agent who is paired up with the bumbling Maxwell Smart (Steve Carell), she prevented world destruction and got to give The Rock a boot to the head. The film was a well-received summer blockbuster and by the fall, all eyes were on Anne Hathaway's next movie, Rachel Getting Married. As an emotionally-fractured recovering alcoholic in town for her sister's wedding, Anne Hathaway showed a side of her acting that was honest and gutsy. The critical kudos for her performance were followed by Hathaway's first Oscar nomination for Best Actress.
After battling with Kate Hudson in the 2009 wedding comedy Bride Wars, Anne Hathaway took on a slate of films. In March 2010, Hathaway entered the weird world of Tim Burton to play The White Queen to Johnny Depp's The Mad Hatter in Alice in Wonderland and then had a reunion with her Princess Diaries director, Gary Marshall, for Valentine's Day, which featured the ensemble cast of Ashton Kutcher, Patrick Dempsey, Julia Roberts, Bradley Cooper, and Jennifer Garner.
Anne Hathaway Gets Naked (And Co-Hosts The Oscars)Anne Hathaway's sex appeal soared sky-high in 2011 when the Viagra-themed, skin-filled drama Love and Other Drugs opposite Jake Gyllenhaal landed her a Golden Globe nomination for Best Performance. She also made No. 9 on AskMen's Top 99 Most Desirable Women 2011. She also proved that stage fright isn't an issue for the young actress, taking on the daunting task of hosting the Oscars (alongside James Franco), a shrewd career move for one of Hollywood's hottest A-listers. The gig marked Hathaway's first appearance onstage at the Oscars, but if life keeps going her way, it certainly won't be her last.
Anne's latest success was her role as Catwoman in director Christopher Nolan's third Batman film, The Dark Knight Rises, with Christian Bale and Morgan Freeman. She certainly tickled our fancy in her skin-tight leather get up and will continue to entertain us with her next scheduled release, Les Misérables, in which she stars alongside Hugh Jackman and Russel Crowe.

The Crap We Missed – Thursday 8.4.11
"Waitaminnit… How long have you been Sam Merlotte?"
Welcome to Thursday's The Crap We Missed where I'm going to be entirely frank with you: Absolutely nothing will live up to David Hasselhoff yelling at a parrot. I know I should've put it at the end, but I wanted each of you to experience a day in my shoes. A day of seeing something perfect and beautiful, and then being forced to look through a bunch of way less awesome shit that not even such old stalwarts as Blake Lively, midgets or almost entirely pointless bikinis will comfort you. (Although Lorenzo Lamas gave it his best.)

The park supports a large number of rare and threatened plants and animals, including the greater bilby. Some of the lakes are listed as wetlands of national importance, while old station buildings, cemeteries and hotel ruins are reminders of historic pastoral use. It is also a special place for Traditional Owners, the Maiawali people.
The rich colours of this park will delight eager photographers. Visit the information room at the old homestead to learn about the park's history. See changing landscapes and pastoral relics on the self-guided Warracoota Circuit Drive (approximately 90 kilometres return).

Lung Cancer
Noncalcified Pulmonary Nodule
I am 33 year old male approaching 34 in a month. I am suspected to have TB infection for which diagnosis is going on. My blood test for mycobacteria came as positive. For testing the infection I have undergone CT scan for neck, chest, abdomen and pelvis. Have a swollen lymph node on right side of the neck, which is suspected to have TB infection and waiting for its biopsy. However, in the CT scan a 3 mm x 5 mm noncalcified pulmonary nodule in my right lung base is found. Radiologist recommended a followup CT scan in 6 months to 1 year. How much should I worry about the possible lung cancer? I heard that if it is caused by the TB infection the nodule should be clacified. In my case what can it be then? I hope I get the answer in this forum. I am research scholar working in an Engineering discipline. Thank you!
Small lung nodules are very common especially in certain areas of the country such as the midwest or southwest. The likelihood this represents a cancer is less than 5%. TB nodules can calcify over time, but are not always calcified. I would agree with a repeat chest CT in 6 months.
I hope this helps.

Hey there, time traveller!
This article was published 13/4/2011 (2323 days ago), so information in it may no longer be current.
NDP Leader Jack Layton boldly proclaimed in the English language debates Tuesday that we need proportional representation.
It was the first time I've heard anybody discuss electoral reform in this election.
Canadians are clearly distressed about how our Parliament is working. Or not working for that matter. The refrain I hear the most is concern that nobody in Ottawa works together or gets along.
The Hill has become the most hyper partisan region I have ever seen. One MP, whose name and party shall remain namesless, recently looked to be near tears as he/she described to me the fact he/she wasn't allowed to even mention an idea first brought up by a member of an opposing party without being fully ridiculed and then ignored.
The other day there was an interesting piece in the Ottawa Citizen looking at the average MP and the average Canadian. Parliament does not reflect the society in which we live. It is still dominated by white, middle and upper middle class men in their 50s. I'm not suggesting affirmative action hit the House of Commons. It's not the answer.
But if we ever needed proof that our system is undemocratic one only need recognize that in 2008 900,000 Canadians voted for the Green Party and not a single Green MP got elected. The NDP got 2.5 million votes and elected 37 MPs. The Bloc Quebecois got 1.4 million votes but because they were all in Quebec they elected 49 MPs. That just does not seem okay to me.
Proportional representation may not be the answer. But the first-past-the-post system we have now has passed its due date. We're one of the only democracies still using it. It's too late for this election obviously. But it's really time for a serious debate about how to improve our electoral system.

Unsurprisingly, the divide among the two sides of the hydrofracking debate is evident even in their public relations strategies.
Both supporters and opponents of hydraulic fracturing for natural gas were in the state Capitol today to make their case. But their approach was very different.
Early in the afternoon, a handful of groups — including New Yorkers Against Fracking, the Sierra Club Atlantic Chapter and Citizen Action of New York — delivered seven boxes of petitions to Gov. Andrew Cuomo's office that were signed by New Yorkers in favor of a statewide hydrofracking ban. In all, more than 200,000 people signed the petitions, according to the groups.
"We're here today to present over 200,000 petitions to the governor for a permanent statewide ban on hydrofracking," said Renee Vogelsang, field organizing director for Frack Action. "We know that this cannot be done safely, and an overwhelming majority of New Yorkers want real, green energy and a ban on fracking now."
(Various polls have found support for hydrofracking is essentially split in New York.)
At the same time, members of the Independent Oil & Gas Association of New York were meeting behind the scenes with lawmakers and members of Cuomo's staff.
IOGA Executive Director Brad Gill said the group's message was simple: It's time to move forward. High-volume hydrofracking has been on hold in New York since 2008, when the state Department of Environmental Conservation launched a review of the technique. It will remain on hold until that review is completed.
"First and foremost, we want this regulatory process to continue full steam ahead and ideally unimpeded by legislative efforts," Gill said. "It's been going on four years now that the state has delayed, and at great cost to the state."

Thread: Return of the LOTRO Group!
Threaded View
Return of the LOTRO Group!So, me and squirrelfanatic were talking and we would like to bring this back. Any of the old guard interested in playing around casually would be ace, and new people who feel like having their levelling experience smoothed by a few higher level chars are also very welcome. Server is Laurelin, hope to see you there. (Pitch for new guys: it's a really nice, often beautiful MMO which allows you to wader through Hobbiton, climb Weathertop and dive into Moria. Speaking personally, that's massive wish fulfilment going on right there.) If this time we add each other in steam and add LOTRO as a non steam game we'll be able to tell when others are playing and dive in ourselves, which I think was sort of why the last group slowed down and stopped.

Hey there, time traveller!
This article was published 15/10/2012 (1772 days ago), so information in it may no longer be current.
Any team rife with inconsistent and underachieving performers is likely to also host a number of athletes commonly referred to as "Coach Killers" in industry circles.
"Coach Killer" is a term used in professional football that describes a certain breed of player. The reason they are termed this is because if you find too many players of this design on your roster, any number of your coaches are soon to be terminated and headed to the front of the unemployment line.
The makeup of a Coach Killer is complicated. Often times they are the most physically gifted players that play the most impacting positions. In fact, their performance, when firing on all cylinders, is so dynamic and impressive it is what enamours you to them and forges the bond and allegiances that head coaches and practically everybody else has with them at one point. They are game changers that can take over a game, that can contribute significantly to the outcome, and their skill set and physicality are of a nature that scouts and personnel men salivate over. They quite often have amusing nicknames, too, that stem from the key element they are missing.
The overwhelming problem with these players is they are not consistent on a game by game basis, like a light switch that turns on and off, or because of successive injuries. When you need them most, they aren't there for you, for one reason or another. As big of a play as they might make one game to win you a contest, they blow up just as big or don't play again for three weeks.
When franchise players or perennial all-star players have an off day, they aren't as noticeable or impacting. They play just like an average player when things go wrong. When a Coach Killer has a bad game, things go south in a hurry from mental and physical perspectives and they largely affect the outcome of the game.
Without pulling out a media guide -- the football equivalent of your high school yearbook -- one of the first Coach Killers that popped into my head, from my time with this team, was Kamau Peterson, or as he became known during his stint here, Kamau "Incompleterson."
Kamau was a gifted Canadian receiver with good speed, tremendous athleticism, good size and excellent work habits. Kamau could catch anything you threw at him, as long as it was in practice. Once the bright lights came on, his performances were highly erratic -- at least during his time here in Winnipeg -- which is another problem with "Coach Killers," and why they are so hard to part with; They don't always stay with this designation.
In fact, when Kamau left the Bombers, then the Tiger-Cats, and signed with Edmonton, he became one of their best receivers, was a two-time nominee as their Most Outstanding Canadian, and won the CFL's Most Outstanding Canadian award in 2008.
Another player that came to mind as a Coach Killer while he was here was Adarius Bowman, or formerly known in Winnipeg football circles as "Adarius Bustman." Once again, this was a player with all of the promise and potential in the world, but for the most part it went unrealized and his performances could not be counted on. It almost seemed like he would either catch a ball and threaten to score, or drop or fumble it. Yet once again, he eventually became a 1,000-yard receiver, and even had a game last season where he gained 226 yards and scored two TDs.
There are a number of Coach Killers currently on the Bombers roster -- athletes can deny it all they want, but Paul LaPolice is living proof of it.
The latest one that came to mind after the Calgary game was Demond Washington, who fumbled his eighth punt return of the season. He is easily one of the most explosive and athletically gifted players on this team, but his fielding miscues have cost the Bombers almost as much as his sometimes exemplary play has benefitted them, and he is not alone.
Now that it has been determined Demond will no longer return punts and can focus on his play as a defensive back, I'm confident this tagline will fade from him.
Let's just hope it happens before he is cut loose and is on another team.

Emerald Stackable Rings
For those born in May and a great Mother's Day Gift!
There are other green gems, like tourmaline and peridot, but emerald is the one that's always associated with the lushest landscapes and the richest greens. Ireland is the Emerald Isle. Oz and Seattle compete for "the" Emerald City.
With spring comes the greening and those born in May are blessed with this lush birthstone.
About Emeralds
The first known emerald mines were in Egypt, dating from at least 330 BC into the 1700s. Cleopatra was known to have a passion for emerald, and used it in her royal adornments. Emerald is the most famous member of the beryl family. Legends endowed the wearer with the ability to foresee the future when emerald was placed under the tongue, as well as to reveal truth and be protected against evil spells. Emerald was once also believed to cure diseases like cholera and malaria. Which may have been why the Incas had been using Emeralds in ceremonies for 500 years before being plundered by Spanish Explorers. The conquistadors favored gold and traded their sacked emerald loot in Europe for the precious metal. And Emeralds started appearing heavily in the Royal Courts and Crown Jewels of European countries.
Its color reflects new spring growth, which makes it the perfect choice of a birthstone for the month of May. It's also the gemstone for twentieth and thirty-fifth wedding anniversaries.
Our stackable rings are made from created Emeralds ~ a tightly controlled process which produces the same chemical gemological components as a natural stone. Just not as expensive as a "real" emerald.

text: Human Nature places the words of its title on two sides of a great divide, then lets its characters attempt to cross it, and then cross back again. No one finds the journey especially easy. It's hard on Patricia Arquette, a nature writer famed for books like Fuck Humanity who chooses to re-enter society out of loneliness. (But then, nothing much comes easy for women covered in a thick coat of fur.) It's hard on her eventual husband (Tim Robbins), a scientist convinced that the world's salvation lies in the civilizing force of table manners, and determined to start the ball rolling by instructing white mice in the niceties of proper etiquette. It's certainly hard on Rhys Ifans, a 30-year-old foundling who has never laid eyes on an ape but believes he's a chimpanzee, having been raised in the woods by a father who suffered the same delusion. The second film derived from a script by Being John Malkovich writer Charlie Kaufman, Human Nature plays like a companion piece to Malkovich, working through another fundamental philosophical question by sparking a nature/nurture debate in the place of Malkovich's mind/body division. Nature lacks a little of Malkovich's freshness, but that's just about all it lacks. As fellow music-video veteran Spike Jonze did with Malkovich, director Michel Gondry largely suppresses his considerable visual flair, best evidenced in the past in his handful of Björk videos. Here, he lets Kaufman and the actors run the show, as Kaufman's thoughtful, clever absurdism challenges the cast's straight-faced performances at every turn. Taking custody of Ifans, Robbins attempts to reclaim him for humanity, using techniques borrowed in equal measure from Truffaut's The Wild Child and A Clockwork Orange. As the electric shocks and droning recordings take their effect, Robbins prepares to bring Ifans into the world, a process impeded only by some untimely, uncontrollable urges on the part of all involved. Kaufman's wit casts a net wide enough to snare gags involving both a Hooters-like restaurant and the early life of Mozart, and Gondry's film happily accommodates these and everything in between. It seems almost accidental that the film's examination of the easily disrupted harmony between civilization and wilderness proves just as memorable as its many laughs.

American Eagle Outfitters operates 833 stores in 50 states. With 925 women's specialty U.S. stores under the Chico's, White House/Black Market, Soma by Chico's and Fitigues names, Chico's has more stores than American Eagle. Pacific Sunwear has even more stores than that: 852 Pac Suns, plus 116 Pac Sun outlets. Then there is Gap with 1,199 U.S. stores. Corporate Gap also operates 949 Old Navy stores and 495 Banana Republics.
How many stores can a premier lifestyle retailer open in the same or overlapping markets without cannibalizing itself? How do retailers that have tapped all or at least the lion's share of the retail markets in the country continue growing?
"Theoretically, once an upscale, lifestyle retailer opens 600 to 650 stores, it may begin to consider its mall market mature," said one VP of real estate for a growing soft-goods specialty retailer with several hundred U.S. stores. "At that point, a retailer may begin to look at other formats—like lifestyle centers—for growth. Often, the retailer's trade areas will begin to overlap with its existing mall stores," said the retailer, who asked not to be identified.
Other options, of course, include inventing new store concepts that can market a new position.
Even though retailers such as Chico's and Gap have developed additional store names, all of their brands seem perilously close to, if not wildly beyond, the 600- to 650-store limit theorized by the retail real estate executive.
How can some retailers get away with this? Who can? Who can't?
"It depends on the retailer," said Robert Draizen, managing director with Robert K. Futterman [RKF] & Associates, a New York City-based broker specializing in retail. "One of my clients, a furniture retailer, looks for the critical junction in a trade area. Then it's one store and done."
Another RKF client—Solstice, a high-end sunglasses retailer—might do multiple locations within a 10-mile ring, continued Draizen. "For Solstice, it is all about people seeing the brand and the sunglass concepts in the store," he said.
Chief among the deciding factors for Solstice is the availability of a high-end mall or lifestyle center in the market with co-tenants such as Ann Taylor and Chico's. "It's a case-by-case decision, but I can see doing two centers like this within one trade area," Draizen said.
As senior VP of retail services with the Bannockburn, Ill., offices of CB Richard Ellis, Jim Sakanich represents both Chico's and White House/Black Market and knows their approach to markets.
When presented with a new store opportunity, said Sakanich, both Chico's and White House/Black Market will evaluate the stores they already have in the market or nearby. Next, they will develop a sales model that takes into account other tenants going into the project and the market demographics. Then they factor in cannibalization: how much business a new store here would take from existing stores in the area. Using that estimate, the model computes net new sales for the new store. Finally, the retailers judge whether or not the net new sales number justifies the expense of the new store.
"Suppose the average annual sales for a store in the chain totals $2 million," Sakanich said. "Say the research estimate comes in at $3 million. The cannibalization estimate might reduce that to $2.5 million. You would open that store. If the number comes back a little under the chain average, you would have to think about it. If the estimate is well below the average sales figure, you won't do it."
In other words, retailers will sometimes double up in markets if their market models indicate that another store can extract additional dollars from the market at a reasonable cost.

Unions Say No Retreat in South After VW Defeat
The Wall Street Journal: Washington Wire, 2/19/14
HOUSTON—Union leaders who gathered at their winter strategy meeting touted stories of their success organizing workers in the South, in an apparent effort to quell speculation that the UAW's big organizing defeat in Tennessee last week means organized labor can't penetrate the region.
The union officials, who had a press conference Tuesday for reporters about Southern organizing, said they won't retreat after the United Auto Workers' loss last week, when workers at a Volkswagen plant in Chattanooga rejected UAW membership by a vote of 712-626. Labor leaders blamed the loss on an anti-union campaign led by Republican Sen. Bob Corker, other Tennessee Republicans, and conservative lobbyists. Despite the loss, workers in the South are "certainly not going to be deterred" from joining unions, said Elizabeth Bunn, the organizing director for the AFL-CIO, which is conducting the Houston meeting.
RoseAnn DeMoro, executive director of the National Nurses United, said her union has organized 7,000 nurses over the past three years in Florida and Texas combined. The frustrations that drove those nurses to organize are no different than gripes that nurses in California had before they joined the union, Ms. DeMoro said. "Nurses are angry everywhere," she said, calling claims of regional divides "artificial." The union is currently trying to organize 4,000 nurses in Orlando who work for one of the state's largest not-for-profit hospital systems, she said, and added that they are receptive.
Communications Workers of America President Larry Cohen said his union has done most of its organizing in the South over the past decade, "not because we focused on the South but because we focused on certain kinds of work that was growing" in that region, he said. Mr. Cohen said the union of roughly 700,000 members in the U.S. and Canada has about 150,000 workers in the Southern U.S., including at AT&T Mobility. The union represents workers at that company in more than a half-dozen Southern states, including Alabama, Tennessee and Georgia, according to the union's website.
Still, anti-union sentiment is strong in the South and unions generally represent far fewer members there than in other regions. The AFL-CIO announced a plan last year to start focusing more on Southern organizing and politics, saying the region is a prime area for expansion given its growth in jobs and population. Some labor experts believe unions will need to determine how to counter outside forces with some political clout of its own in the South, perhaps before undertaking new major organizing campaigns.
Some anti-union groups say the UAW loss indicates that unions lack value to workers, and that the Chattanooga workers rejected the UAW on their own, not because of outside forces.
The AFL-CIO's Ms. Bunn disagrees.
"They ran a fabulous campaign," she said of the UAW. "The message here is that workers are not going to tolerate that [outside pressure] and that we're coming back," said Ms. Bunn.

Hey there, time traveller!
This article was published 7/4/2013 (1597 days ago), so information in it may no longer be current.
Jeff Presslaff's Complete Rebirth of the Cool project was reborn again on the weekend as the Winnipeg trombonist and composer led a nonet in a recording session in a recital hall at Brandon University.
Presslaff's version, a re-creation of the creative impetus of the original Miles Davis/Gil Evans collaboration Birth of The Cool, began almost a year ago when it was presented at the Park Theatre as part of Jazz Winnipeg's concert series.
That band also performed in Brandon, at the Yardbird Suite in Edmonton and at the Saskatoon Jazz Festival last year, but "I always hoped to record," Presslaff says in an interview.
The band was to perform a concert Friday night in the Lorne Watson Recital Hall at BU, which was to be recorded, and then continue recording in the hall throughout the weekend. It is being produced by BU music professor and pianist Michael Cain, who heard the band perform last year and calls the musicians and writing very strong. "The Birth of the Cool is an iconic recording. I love the idea," he says in an interview.
Presslaff described taking the nine-piece band on the road and recording it as "formidable," but says BU gave them the recording space and some funding and Manitoba Film and Music provided funding.
The goal is to release the recording in the fall, Presslaff says, and then try to tour with the band in the summer of 2014.

Expect a visit from "the family" in Brandon on Saturday, April 13, as four musicians from Brandon University's school of music -- three professors and a graduating student -- perform "a combination of standards that might be reimagined a bit and some original music" by band members pianist Michael Cain and saxophonist Greg Gatien, Cain says in an interview.
Drummer/percussionist Eric Platz and bassist John Baron, the student, round out the Cain-Baron-Gatien-Platz band that performs at the Park Theatre, 8 p.m., as part of Jazz Winnipeg's Nu Sounds series ($12 advance / $15 door).
"The original music will range from things that sound more familiar in terms of jazz," Cain says, "and other kinds of styles; a world music sensibility, something along classical lines. It will be jazz-centred, with some twists and turns."
"The Brandon crew," as Cain calls them, is "small, but strong" and doesn't get to Winnipeg to perform as much as the musicians would like to. "So this is us as a family doing this show in Winnipeg."

Def Leppard, Chili Peppers and Tim McGraw Deliver Top Summer Concerts
It's been nearly 25 years since Def Leppard hit their commercial peak with the $12-million-selling 'Hysteria' album, but they can still pack 'em in on the road. In fact, the veteran rockers' latest run of dates — a package tour with fellow classic rock legends Heart — was the top-grossing draw of the last three months.
They faced some pretty stiff competition for concert dollars, too; with an overall gross of $14.5 million, the Def Leppard/Heart lineup bested the latest tours from the Red Hot Chili Peppers (in second place with $9.2 million) and Tim McGraw (in third with $7.4 million).

Medlen's quality effort results in loss to Pirates
Offense plates two early, then held scoreless by Pittsburgh 'pen
PITTSBURGH -- When the Braves exited Atlanta on Wednesday, there did not seem to be reason to be too concerned about the shutout loss they had just suffered against the Royals. But as this weekend elapsed, it was apparent this potent lineup is in a serious funk.
After being neutralized during the previous two games, the Braves' offense showed some life and chased Jonathan Sanchez after just three innings on Sunday afternoon at PNC Park. But their inability to take advantage of multiple scoring opportunities allowed the red-hot Pirates to conclude an impressive homestand with a 4-2 win.
"We just didn't swing the bats well," Braves left fielder Justin Upton said. "We came out and did what we didn't want to do. We swung at some pitches out of the zone. Even the hits we got, we kind of shortened those innings a couple times. We just didn't piece together the hits."
Clint Barmes' two-out infield single in the sixth inning off Kris Medlen served as the crushing blow to the Braves, who have lost three consecutive games since improving their record to 13-2 with Thursday night's series-opening win over the Pirates.
After totaling six hits and one run in the losses they suffered on Friday and Saturday, the Braves notched eight hits and produced 15 baserunners during Sunday's series finale. But they also went 2-for-10 with runners in scoring position and stranded 10 runners.
The Pirates, who have won seven of their last nine games, surrendered four home runs in Thursday night's loss. They threw just two pitches with a runner on base in Friday's shutout win and limited the Braves to two hits in 16 at-bats with runners in scoring position during the series' final two games.
Medlen settled in after allowing three consecutive hits to begin Pittsburgh's two-run second inning. But the Braves right-hander encountered some bad luck during the decisive sixth inning, which began with Neil Walker's leadoff single.
Walker alertly tagged and advanced to second base when Upton leaped into the left-field wall to make an impressive catch that may have robbed Pedro Alvarez of a two-run home run. After advancing to third base on a groundout, Walker raced to the plate when Barmes' decisive single rolled past second base far enough to prevent shortstop Andrelton Simmons from making a strong throw to first base.
"We had the right matchup there with Barmes at the plate, and he just happened to hit it right to the left of Simmons and not hard enough for us to throw him out at first base," Gonzalez said.
Adding to the frustration of a third consecutive loss was the fact that Barmes entered the game hitting just .093 (4-for-43) and exited it with his first multi-hit game of the season. The Pirates shortstop's RBI single in the second inning accounted for the last of the three hits Medlen surrendered during that two-run frame.
"I go out there and try to keep us in the game the best that I can," Medlen said. "I thought I did a decent job of it after the second inning. In the sixth, you make a pitch and he fights one off and has enough speed to get the infield single."
Simmons actually trumped Upton's catch with the acrobatic grab he made with his back to the plate halfway down the left-field line in the fourth inning. But the defensive contributions weren't enough to prevent a tough-luck loss for Medlen, who was charged with three runs and seven hits in six innings.
After gaining a two-run lead in the second inning, Medlen saw his early advantage erased within a span of six pitches. Alvarez opened the bottom of the second with a single, and then lumbered around the bases to score on Russell Martin's double to the left-field gap. Barmes followed with his RBI single.
"The second inning, it was what it was," Medlen said. "I was leaving pitches out over the plate, pulling off, and everything was flat."
It did not take the Braves long to chase Sanchez, who exited after throwing 74 pitches and allowing two runs in three innings. Both of the runs scored against the veteran left-hander came courtesy four consecutive one-out singles in the second inning.
The four consecutive singles by Chris Johnson, Reed Johnson, Gerald Laird and Simmons gave the Braves two runs, one more than they totaled in the previous two games. But the potential to do more damage was erased when B.J. Upton struck out to end the inning with runners on second and third base.
The Braves were unable to take advantage of the consecutive one-out walks Sanchez issued in the third inning. This started a trend that continued when B.J. Upton grounded into a double play to end the top of the sixth inning, which began with consecutive singles by Laird and Simmons.
After Ramiro Pena drew a walk to begin the seventh inning, he was easily retired as he attempted to steal second base on the back end of Justin Upton's strikeout. The unsuccessful hit-and-run attempt proved costly when Evan Gattis drilled a two-out double that hit near the top of the right-field wall.
"We didn't capitalize on our opportunities," Justin Upton said. "When we had runners in scoring position or men on early with no outs or one out, we didn't get the big hit. That usually costs you. We left a lot of men on base."

The concept of psychosexual development began with Sigmund Freud when he developed his theories of psychoanalysis in the late 19th and early 20th centuries. In the development of his theories, Freud's main concern was with sexual desire, defined in terms of formative drives, instincts and appetites that naturally determined one's behaviours and beliefs, even as those behaviours and beliefs are continually repressed.
Freud also believed that the libido developed in individuals by changing its object, through the process of sublimation. He argued that humans are born polymorphously perverse, meaning that any number of objects could be a source of pleasure. Following a biological logic, Freud established a rigid model for that "normal" sexual development of the human being, or the "libido development".
It should be noted that some of these theories have been disproved, and much of this information is only of historical value.
Oral phaseEdit
From birth to approx. 18 months the child is in the oral stage. Here they are primarily focused on the mouth and lips this includes sucking and feeding. If the child feels frustration due to feeding being restricted or late they can become fixated on this stage. In adulthood this can develop into pessimism, envy, suspicion and sarcasm. If food is given too readily and overindulgence occurs the fixation can result in optimism, gullibility, and admiration for others in later life. In both cases the adult oral character can often find themselves eating or drinking excessively, thumb sucking or even smoking as a release for their oral energy.
Sadistic-anal phaseEdit
From 18 months to 24 months the child is in the anal stage. In this stage they are learning to control the expulsion of faeces so the libidal energy is focused in the anal passage. There are two types of anal fixation, Explosive and Retentive. The explosive character would have been prone to malicious excretion either just before they were placed on the toilet or just after they were removed from the toilet. In this case the explosive characters can develop if the parents are too lax with discipline. In adulthood it can result in messy or disorganised people who are reckless, careless, and defiant.
The retentive character takes pleasure in holding in the faces in spite of the parents training. These people develop into neat, organised, careful, meticulous, obstinate people often mean with money who are passive-aggressive.
This stage has significant effects on the future views of authority.
Phallic phaseEdit
At 24 months to about 48 months the libidal energy shifts from the anal region to the genital region. This is where the Oedipus or Electra complex is developed. The young boy falls in love with his mother and wishes that his father was not in the way of his love (the Oedipus Complex). At this point he notices that women have no penis and fears that the punishment of his father for being in love with his wife, may be castration. This fear is enhanced if he is shouted at for masturbation at this stage. Once the fear of retaliation has subsided the boy will learn to earn his mother's love vicariously by becoming as much like his father as possible. This is where the super-ego stems from. He will adopt his father's beliefs and ideals as his own and move on to the latency stage.
Girls similarly fall in love with the father and wish the mother was not there (the Electra Complex). They also notice that women do not have a penis, they feel angry at their mother for their perceived castration and develop penis envy. According to Freud women never really leave this phase and so the super-ego is less developed and consequently women have fewer morals than men. However the girl will also learn to love the father vicariously through becoming like her mother and then move into the latency stage.
A fixation on this stage will produce reckless, resolute, self-assured, vain, proud people and Freud believed that this could be the root of homosexuality. They can show both signs of promiscuity or asexuality, amorality or puritanical. They flip between the behaviours according to the doctrine of opposites.
If the conflict is never resolved the adult can be afraid of or even incapable of developing close loving relationships with other people.
Latency phaseEdit
The latency stage lasts from the end of the phallic stage until puberty. This is not actually a psychosexual stage it is where the libido lies dormant allowing the child to develop same sex friendships as well as school, and athletics. It is the ultimate in sexual repression.
Genital phaseEdit
The genital stage starts at puberty allowing the child to develop opposite sex relationships with the libidal energy again focused on the genital area. According to Freud if any of the stages are fixated on, there is not enough libidal energy for this stage to develop untroubled. To have a fully functional adulthood the previous stages need to be fully resolved and there needs to be a balance between love and work.
It is important to note that anyone can become arrested at or insufficiently grow out of any of the primal stages, leading to various symptoms in one's adult life.
Freud's theories were decidedly masculine, which is why he has received a great deal of criticism from Feminists. Freud had difficulty incorporating the female's desires into his theories, and even stated late in his life, "psychology too is unable to solve the riddle of femininity". Freud argued that young girls followed more or less the same psychosexual development as boys. Whereas the boy would develop a castration complex, the girl would go on to develop penis envy, "the envy the female feels toward the male because the male possesses a penis." (Shultz 66) After this stage, the woman has an extra stage in her development when the clitoris should wholly or in part hand over its sensitivity, and its importance to the vagina. The young girl must also at some point give up her first object-choice, the mother, in order to take the father as her new proper object-choice. Her eventual move into heterosexual femininity, which culminates in giving birth, grows out of her earlier infantile desires, with her own child taking place of the penis in accordance with an ancient symbolic equivalence. Freud wrote: "girls feel deeply their lack of a sexual organ that is equal in value to the male one; they regard themselves on that account as inferior and this envy for the penis is the origin of a whole number of characteristic feminine reactions" (Freud 1925 quoted in Shultz 67).
