Welcome back to AVQ&A, where we throw out a question for discussion among the staff and readers. Consider this a prompt to compare notes on your interface with pop culture, to reveal your embarrassing tastes and experiences, and to ponder how our diverse lives all led us to convene here together. Got a question you'd like us and the readers to answer? E-mail us at firstname.lastname@example.com.
Genevieve Koski asks: What's a piece of entertainment you blew off a personal or professional obligation in order to experience? Skipping school so you could buy an album that came out that day? Calling in sick to work so you could go to an out-of-town concert? Missing the birth of your child to finish the last level of your videogame?

With sincerest apologies to my parents, who paid for my tuition, I tended to blow off college classes in order to watch Dr. Katz, Professional Therapist and Kids In The Hall reruns on Comedy Central if I happened to catch a marathon that extended past lunch into a class I was particularly uninterested in. The shows, new to me, were funny and soothing, and obviously fed some latent comedy-nerd bug in me. Hypothetically, you could argue that I could actually blame my parents for refusing to get cable until after I went to college. Had I been exposed to Comedy Central before I left home, maybe I wouldn't have been so enthralled by it later in life. Anyway, I graduated and I'm writing about comedy, so look at me now, mom: top of the world!

When I was attending the local community college, I took Camping as an elective, this weird class where you attended several lectures on various aspects of camping, then ultimately took two camping trips with your classmates, one local and one out of town. It was actually kind of cool, I guess, but when the local camping trip took place the same night Peter Murphy played at the Boathouse in Norfolk—and with Nine Inch Nails as the opening act, no less—I knew I was going to have to figure out some way to attend the show while still getting full credit for going on the trip. So I put up my tent, cooked my dinner, hung out with my classmates for as little time as I could get away with, then slinked back to my tent (I'd pointedly picked the most distant of the class' spots), started my car, and carefully drove off the thankfully unlit campground without any headlights until I was out of their line of sight. I was late getting to the show, so I only got to see about half of NIN's set, but I saw all of Peter Murphy's performance, and he was awesome. Yes, I did somehow manage to make it back to my campsite without getting busted. Sadly, this is probably the most rebellious thing I've ever done in my life.

I have a ton of these, including scooting away from a wedding sometime in the late '90s to see the Archers Of Loaf/Built To Spill double bill at the Metro in Chicago. But the one that strikes me is funniest is this: I think I was in third grade, and I got special permission to head home for lunch early in order to let our dog out. For some reason, I had decided I really liked the 1978 movie Convoy, starring Kris Kristofferson, and my 30-minute trip became a three-hour lunch in order to watch a bunch of truckers band together for reasons I didn't fully understand. (There were, if I remember correctly, some boobies in the movie, which was on HBO.) I don't really remember anything else, about the movie, though now I see that Sam Peckinpah directed it. Should I go back to it, or just let this school-ditching memory linger?

I called in sick to work once (at a different job) because I'd stayed up all night reading The Hunger Games. I spent my "sick" day reading Catching Fire and Mockingjay.
Genevieve Koski
I spent the summer of 2003 working as an unpaid intern at a magazine in New York, a hideously expensive endeavor that required getting a part-time job selling digital cameras at Best Buy in order to keep myself fed… and in order to buy that year's Harry Potter And The Order Of The Phoenix, whose release date I'd had circled on my calendar for roughly two years. I wasn't going to let a silly thing like work interfere with that. After standing in line to purchase the book at 12 a.m.—the first, but definitely not last time I would do such a thing—and reading right through the night, I continued to binge throughout my Best Buy shift, huddled underneath the circular counter I was supposedly being paid to man. Thankfully, my co-worker, another Harry Potter fan (who consistently referred to Snape as "Snap," which amuses me to this day), covered for me, badgering customers into extended warranties and extra memory cards all by herself, and alerting me to the presence of approaching supervisors. Thankfully, the Best Buy location I worked at was absolutely massive and hugely overstaffed, so it was easy to disappear for 400 pages or so and finish the book before quitting time.
Steve Heisler
When I was a junior in high school, it was announced at my local movie theater that tickets for Star Wars Episode I: The Phantom Menace would go on sale the Friday before the movie came out, at noon. My friends were disappointed, because we had school. But not me. I was talking Calculus BC, an AP class that provided me with a study day—a free day away from school—to prepare for the exam that following Monday. So rather than hitting the books, I waited in line to buy 10 tickets, hanging with other superfans who were inevitably disappointed one week and two and a half hours later. Thankfully, I still did well on the exam in spite of wasting my day on this less-than-noble pursuit, because I think I would have never forgiven myself had I gotten low marks just for the sake of Jar-Jar Binks.
Matt Wild
Back at my old gig sorting mail for a semi-prestigious Milwaukee law firm, I used my last remaining day of paid vacation to see Indiana Jones And The Kingdom Of The Crystal Skull. That I was blowing these precious eight hours in mid-May was bad enough—that I had gleefully plotted out this sad, solo excursion months in advance was even worse. Then there was the movie itself, which dropped me somewhere in the middle of the Star Wars: The Phantom Menace/Star Trek: Nemesis continuum of geek-cinema disappointment. I haven't seen the film since that fateful day in 2008, and my only memories of it are courtesy of that South Park episode where George Lucas and Steven Spielberg have their way with the once-intrepid Dr. Jones. Oh, and I remember that part where Shia LaBeouf is Tarzan or whatever. Ugh.
Nathan Rabin
I write about this in my memoir, The Big Rewind, but when I was 11 years old, I played hooky from school, purloined some coins from the laundry room of my apartment building, and went to Chicago's Lincoln Village theater to see Bill & Ted's Excellent Adventure. It was a defining moment in my life. I had sunk into a deep, seemingly bottomless depression at the time. The world seemed unfathomably cruel and merciless, but for 90 minutes or so, all my problems, self-loathing, and angst dissipated as I escaped into a gloriously absurd, life-affirmingly silly fantasy world where two lunkheads controlled the fate of the planet. It was then and there that I decided that I would devote my life to film in some form. Strangely, I found my path and my future profession by dodging responsibilities and eschewing school rather than following the rules or being responsible. The lesson? Ditch school, young people, and you just might stumble upon your destinies.
Jason Heller
There's something liberating about growing up around convicted criminals. Visiting your uncle in prison or seeing your mom dragged screaming through your house during a police raid is apt to unshackle any tidy childhood notions of right and wrong. That's probably the most pathetic justification for embarking on a life of adolescent larceny—but as excuses go, that's all I got. I had just entered 7th grade when I discovered how easy it was to ditch school and head to Safeway to stuff comics down my pants. This was the '80s, in the day of newsstand spinner-racks: trees full of X-Men and Teen Titans, just ripe for the picking. From there, everything from D&D modules to Transformers became fair game. It was partly habitual, but my family was also dirt fucking poor, and I was still too young to work. Ditching school and going on "shopping sprees" became a way to feel autonomous and empowered (and, yes, a little less poor, as sad and stupid as that sounds). When I got into high school, though, music became my primary passion—and my primary target. But after many dozens of successful heists, I got busted while stealing a cassette at the mall. Cops were called, charges were pressed, and justice was served. I was 16. At that point, I decided to give up my life of petty crime. Not that it helped my grades; I was so used to ditching, I started failing classes, and I wound up dropping out. But I did immediately find a job—at a comic-book warehouse. Within five years, I was working at comic shops and record stores. One of my favorite parts of the gig? Nabbing shoplifters. Shifty little shits.
Phillip Dyess-Nugent
I grew up in a remote part of Mississippi where there was nothing to do and no place to go, plus it was hot as a bastard in the summer, which is my excuse for having spent 96 percent of my summer vacations in front of the TV. My big reward for this came in 1980, when I became addicted to David Letterman's NBC morning show, a program that established that Letterman needed to have his own show, but also that the morning shift was not the place for it. (Strong distinctions between what felt right at 9 in the morning vs. what felt right at midnight were lost to me at a time in my life when I never needed to sleep so long as I had steady access to M&Ms and Dr. Pepper.) It might have been the first time in my life I felt I'd personally discovered something that had a strong critical reputation but no commercial support at all, and I felt so bad when school started again and I couldn't watch it anymore that I felt duty-bound to play hooky on the Friday in October when the last episode aired. My experiment in misplaced priorities might have gone undetected if that hadn't been the day they were taking school pictures, and there was hell to pay when my mom discovered she'd paid for a yearbook that had a blank space next to my name. Of course, it's the only school yearbook I kind of wish I still owned.

I didn't have a car in high school, so whenever I wanted to leave school early to go to a movie (which I did more than once, most memorably to see Raising Arizona) or to go to a record store, I had to coerce and sometimes even trick my friends into driving me. The absolute worst case happened in my senior year, when I was in a drama class that collaborated with two other Nashville-area high schools to stage the complete Oedipus trilogy. My school was assigned Antigone, which meant we arrived early for the performance, but then had a couple of hours to kill before we took the stage. I convinced some of my fellow actors that we had enough time to grab dinner at a nearby mall; I waxed rhapsodic about Chick-Fil-A, and got them all excited about zipping to the food court and back. But I actually didn't care about food. Earlier that week, I'd heard side one of Dinosaur Jr.'s You're Living All Over Me on the college radio station, and I had to have that album, whatever it took. As soon as we got to the mall, I excused myself and went to the record store. I missed dinner altogether, and when my friends realized I'd used them—and risked us missing our opening curtain to boot—they were pissed. But damn, that record was totally worth it.
Keith Phipps
I'm Mr. Responsible, so I don't have any comparable stories. In fact, looking back, I wish I did have some comparable stories. All I've got is a night spent with a college pal my senior year when we were both supposed to be writing 30-page thesis papers (he on Yeats, me on Joyce) and instead sat down to watch Octopussy, which he'd recently acquired on VHS. But just the opening scene and the credits, because those were the best parts. Two and a half hours and one scene with Roger Moore's James Bond dressing up in clown makeup later, we realized we'd watched the whole thing. I remember little about that paper. But I still fondly remember watching Octopussy.

"So far I have played 2 seasons with these cleats, one indoor and one outdoor. These are by far the best cleats i have ever worn. I tried playing with the Nike Huarache 3 cleats, but after trying these cleats on i could not go back. These cleats have the perfect balance of light weight and supportable. They also come broken in right from the box. If i could, i would sleep in them."

JACKSONVILLE - Gov. Rick Scott stepped out of the halls of the capitol and into the halls of Pinedale Elementary in Northwest Jacksonville Monday night on what he's calling a "listening tour."
"My goal is to listen. I've been listening since I became Governor, talking to teachers and parents. All around state. See what the right program is," said Scott.
Teachers who met with the governor told him one thing they need is the state to be more clear on expectations in regards to things like the Florida Comprehensive Assessment Test.
"Just being more consistent," said 5th grade teacher Steve Walden. "Letting the educators know before hand about some of the changes that we may see."
Governor Scott was quick to point out he wants benchmarks for students in the classroom that's more than just the FCAT.
"If we do measure it can't be just teaching to a test. So if we do measure something, what's the result we want. If our kids are done with K-12 they're either ready for a career or ready for college," said Scott.
Sheenah Thrasher met Rick Scott. She said she is concerned about budget cuts to schools around the state. Thrasher wants her son, Jaden, in a multicultural magnet program that she fears won't be available if there are too many budget cuts.
"Being well rounded it helps them prepare for the future I think. Being exposed to that gives them a good head start and won't shock them when they get out into the real world," said Thrasher.

- Weatherproof, light-resistant, fast drying
- Based on organic solvents. Contains no xylene/toluene
The Brilliant Painter Range offers shades within a colour system. Basic and fashion colours plus classic metallic shades. Whether tastefully colour matched creations or extravagant colour combinations are desired - everything is possible with the wide colour range from Marabu. The broad tip selection makes all imaginable techniques possible. Fine lettering and patterns can be achieved with the popular Fineliner in no time. Decorative writing with the calligraphy painter is always a complete success. A thorough paint application is achieved with the paint tip; the universal tip is used as a practical all-rounder. For a personalised result - that's just what you expected.
The surface must be dust and grease-free so that a good adhesion of paint is ensured. Wash the objects with washing-up liquid and dry thoroughly afterwards. Marabu-Cleaner & Thinner is also ideal for cleaning of glass and metal. Before use, shake the painter well with the cap closed. Press onto the tip repeatedly until the ink is visible in it. Try using the painter on a piece of scrap paper first (not on the object to be painted until you are sure the flow is smooth). After use, close the cap well (until it clicks). Store in a horizontal position.

Motorcyclist critically hurt in crash of SR 26
Published: Tuesday, September 17, 2013 at 5:11 p.m.
Last Modified: Tuesday, September 17, 2013 at 5:11 p.m.
A Gainesville man was critically injured Tuesday afternoon when a car turned onto State Road 26 in front of his motorcycle, resulting in a collision, according to the Florida Highway Patrol.
William Harley Lariscey, 27, was taken to UF Health Shands Hospital, FHP reported in a press release.
The accident happened about 12:34 p.m. on State Road 26 at Northwest 124th Boulevard, just west of Parker Road.
Paula Jo Wilkerson, 65, of Newberry, was driving a 2011 Hyundai Genesis on 124th Boulevard while Lariscey was driving a 2005 Suzuki west on SR 26, the report states.
Wilkerson was at the stop sign and pulled into the intersection to turn left, violating Lariscey's right of way, according to the report. The left side of Wilkerson's car hit the front end of the motorcycle.
Lariscey had incapacitating injuries while Wilkerson was not injured. Charged are pending the investigation, FHP reported.

Brentford boss Uwe Rosler has admitted the signature of striker Paul Hayes is likely to be his last before the transfer window closes next week.
The 28-year-old, signed from Charlton Athletic on Monday, missed a second half penalty as he had a debut to forget in the 3-1 defeat to Yeovil Town on Tuesday.
Hayes come off the bench at the same time as Harry Forrester with the scores level at 1-1 and Rosler reckoned his miss was the turning point in the game.
"We started well in the second half. Got the equaliser. Then the penalty situation and we didn't score. Momentum went downhill," he said.
"Paul told me he has scored many penalties in his career. I was very confident he would score.
"That was definitely the turning point.
"Bringing him and Harry on could have been a masterstroke, but it didn't work out that way."
He added: "I don't think there will be more signings now."
Defensive howlers from Tony Craig and Scot Barron on Tuesday were dismissed by Rosler as a sign of ring rustiness.
"The players coming to us have not had a pre-season. That is a fact," he said.
"They have not played many games in pre-season."
Bees host Crewe tomorrow.

Knowing Your Audience
When I was doing work as a prevention educator, I remember the time and effort I would put into preparing for a presentation. I just knew the kids would LOVE the activities I had planned. I imagined them listening attentively and grasping onto every little nugget of information. Was I delusional? Not always. But sometimes my message would fall flat and I would leave feeling like I had failed. Why? I didn't know my audience.
Knowing your audience is core to any prevention work. Whether it's an educational presentation, an outreach event, or a prevention campaign, we need to know who we are targeting with our message. A few weeks ago, I shared a video which touched on this a bit as it relates to branding prevention. To even begin thinking about branding our prevention messaging, we have to first think about identity research. What community, sub-community or sub-culture are we trying to reach? What behaviors are we trying to change and how do we "sell" the positive behaviors we want to see? How can we involve our target community in the process so they are invested in making it work?
We continue our Mapping Prevention video podcast series by discussing these questions with Ashley Maier, formerly of the Oregon Attorney General's Sexual Assault Task Force and now with the California Coalition Against Sexual Assault's PreventConnect project. Watch the video to find out more about successful social branding strategies and the importance of knowing your audience. Then use the comment section to let us know what you are doing in your community.
Love this reminder on the value of audience. Great video has me thinking about how identity research could benefit SAAM. Thanks, Preventionista!
Thanks, Laura!
Identity research is so important for so much of what we do when it comes to prevention. Who knows better what is needed than the audience/recipients themselves?

SUNY Plattsburgh's Department of Computer Science and School of Business and Economics will have a new home on the corner of Draper Avenue and Cornelia Street, starting in the spring of 2013.
|Photo: Architectural rendering of new Business and Computer Science Building (front view).
|Photo: Architectural rendering of new Business and Computer Science Building (back view).
The second building to be constructed on campus in the past three years, this nearly $14.2 million academic building will house faculty offices and a number of specialized rooms, including the following:
The new building has been designed to meet Leadership in Energy and Environmental Design silver standards, and, as a result, will feature a rooftop garden, landscaped with hardy plants that can survive North Country winters. The faculty and staff lounge will open up onto this space.
"The Department of Computer Science is looking forward to having a place in a modern, environmentally friendly building," said Computer Science Chair Jan Plaza, who went on to discuss the importance of changing with technology.
"In 1970, our students were using a punch-card-oriented IBM 1440, in the 1980s; teletype terminals with a DEC VAX-11 computer; and, later, a lab with workstations and several servers in the basement of Hawkins Hall.
"For the new building, we planned a reconfigurable lab that can be easily arranged for team projects or rearranged for computer intensive practice during a class where the instructor makes demonstrations."
Most of the classrooms, too, will feature moveable furniture, allowing rooms to be used in many ways.
Faculty members in the School of Business and Economics are also looking forward to teaching in rooms that have been specifically designed with their subject matter in mind, according to Tara Studley, assistant dean of the School of Business and Economics.
"Our faculty members are excited to have instructional spaces designed for the way they want to teach," Studley said. "Everything is going to be state of the art."
Plaza and Dr. Ray Guydosh, dean of the School of Business and Economics concurred.
"The new building will provide the resources, classrooms, laboratories and office space to help us ensure that we are providing an education of the highest quality to our business and computer science students," said Guydosh.
"The labs in the new building will be ideal for hands-on experience for computer science and information technology majors and also for students involved in new interdisciplinary minors in bio-informatics and Web design and programming, which are up for approval," Plaza added.
Plaza also noted that the computer study rooms will be a boon to students working on projects. Because the rooms are so near to faculty offices, the rooms will provide for quick access to faculty support when students need it.
The building will be paid for by the five-year plan of the State University of New York Construction Fund. Approximately 200 people will be employed by this project.

Angelina Jolie Buys Brad Pitt A Helicopter, Plus 8 Other Extravagant Celeb Gifts
Angelina Jolie may just be the best gift-giver in Hollywood. Last year, she gave fiance and baby daddy Brad Pitt a freaking waterfall for Christmas. It had never occurred to me to want a waterfall before, but now I do. I'm not sure how much a waterfall costs, but I imagine it costs less than the $1.6 millllllion Jolie just spent on a helicopter she gave Pitt for no other reason than being hot and awesome and hers. I wonder what she'll give him next? A private island? His own space shuttle? His own planet? [Newser]
Celebrities are famous for their lavish spending habits. When it comes to holidays and birthdays, most of them — like Jolie — spare no expense for their famous friends and loved ones. From Mediterranean cruise tickets to a Rolls-Royce Phantom, here's a glimpse at the other luxurious gifts that celebrities have showered upon their friends, family, and employees.

Q: How many pets per team member does our practice need to pay for?

Q How many pets per team member does our practice need to pay for?
"In the future, I think we'll see more of a limit on pet benefits for employees, whether they follow the IRS guidelines, limit the number of pets that an employee can receive discounted services on, or purchase pet insurance as an employee benefit for a limited number of pets," Potter says.
Finally, she says, the employee handbook needs to be clear on exactly what the pet benefits are and whether there's a limit on the number of pets covered. It's also a good idea to specify that qualifying pets must live in the employee's household.

The theme for the dialogue, "When values and principles are at stake, do we give up community harmony?" will offer people of diverse ethnic, cultural and faith backgrounds an opportunity to share their experiences and viewpoints in a safe, facilitated setting.
Participants will break out among tables of nine each with a trained facilitator to ensure that everyone has the opportunity to speak and that discussion guidelines are followed. Facilitators will structure the dialogue around the following major discussion questions:
- What guiding life principles are most important to you?
- Under what circumstances have you modified, adjusted or adapted your principles, or changed your point of view? What were the results?
- Under what circumstances have you held on to your principles in the face of opposition? What were the results?
- To what would you personally commit to enhance community connections?
The dialogue is presented by McLean Community Connections, a committee of local residents representing the diverse religious groups and ethnic populations of McLean and Great Falls. Support for the event is through a collaborative partnership with Fairfax County and local civic, nonprofit and faith communities.

The garden is blessed with dramatic glaciated rocky slopes, magnificent native Garry oaks and gorgeous vistas. The garden is designed to make the most of these remarkable features and it is the Abkhazis' response to their landscape that qualifies it as a stunning example of West Coast design.

In response to a growing consumer awareness around healthy eating, many multinational food companies are reducing the amount of sodium, sugars and trans fats in their products. But a tremendous market opportunity lies in what these companies can add to their products.
The soluble fiber inulin provides manufacturers with the ability to increase fiber content in food and beverage products and replace sugar and fat while producing good-tasting products. By taking advantage of this natural ingredient, manufacturers can satisfy consumer demands and trigger product purchases.

A man who was crushed by a car when the driver deliberately reversed into him has asked an independent watchdog to investigate the police handling of the case.
David Emsley, 52, suffered fractured ribs when he was trapped between a Ford Galaxy and some railings at The Fox pub in Menston, last August.
The driver, Simon Waters, 40, of Cross Green, Otley (left), was jailed for 21 months after he was convicted of wounding Mr Emsley.
Waters had returned to the scene after earlier blocking in Mr Emsley's car and then reversing.
Judge Jonathan Rose told Waters he had used the car as a weapon to deliberately reverse into Mr Emsley.
Mr Emsley, of Menston, complained to the Independent Police Complaints Commission about the handling of the original call by the officer sent to the scene following the first incident.
Mr Emsley claimed the officer failed to take his allegation of assault seriously, as a result of which the suspect returned and subjected him to the more serious assault.
The officer claimed Mr Emsley was had been drinking and swore at him.
The IPCC passed the complaint to West Yorkshire Police, which did not uphold it following an investigation and said no further action was intended.
Mr Emsley has now appealed the decision to the IPCC.
He said: "I explained the situation to the officer and asked him what he was going to do and he said 'nothing.' He suggested I was making a mountain out of a molehill and said 'you're drunk, he's drunk, you've had a tit for tat.' "The second incident would not have happened if he had done something about the first one."
He admitted swearing at the officer in frustration but denied being drunk.
In his statement of complaint Mr Emsley described the officer as having a "disgruntled, feeling sorry for himself attitude," and claimed he was not interested in the incident.
The police investigation concluded there had been no indication the complainant was at further risk from the suspect and there was no reason the complainant could not be seen the following morning.
A spokesman for the IPCC said: "We are collating documentation from the various parties.
"Our role is to look at how West Yorkshire Police conducted the investigation and whether we agree with the findings."

The Art of Midwifery
I've found humor at birth to be safe and effective. A good giggle can change the energy for the better and bring perspective to a situation that is getting stale. A couple's tolerance for and enjoyment of different types of humor should be assessed prenatally. Inside jokes can help people feel seen and heard. I look for opportunities to develop this connection during prenatal contact. Inside jokes often take the form of teasing and exaggerating issues. This type of humor isn't without risk, so careful assessment and accurate dosing must be considered.

Valentine's Day Twins
We were expecting quite a large baby from our measurements. It was a lovely, if complicated birth: a first-time mother, a four-hour second stage and a hemorrhage. Her husband was a studying to become a doctor! What's interesting, looking back, is that while she was laboring my midwife partner, Mony, and I were in the other room talking about undiagnosed twins! They were an especially fun couple who lived in student housing. When a little person appeared in my hands I was momentarily confused by the small size but we were working on stopping her bleeding and helping the baby. The 5 lb 6 oz girl was a little slow to start. I gently placed my hand on the mother's still large uterus. "Mony," I said, "this is more than a placenta. There is another baby here. Will you check the heartbeat?" The parents were surprised, and then very excited to be having two babies. Off we headed to the hospital. We had excellent doctor back up.
It was a rather exciting ride' filled with our anticipation. The transport and birth went smoothly. The doctor on call was not our favorite' but this was before the cesarean epidemic and he just set up for the birth. The mother's contractions started back up and in about 20 minutes there was another little baby girl. The babies were both more than five pounds, a bit small but healthy, and both went home the next day. The intense testing that is done now was not done in 1979. It really was a happy' loving Valentine's Day.
The postpartum visits were a joy. There were no breastfeeding problems and the family got on with life. When we looked at the chart to scrutinize what we may have missed' we had indeed missed a growth spurt that might have had us check more closely into things. What we all decided' midwives and parents' is that it was just the way it was supposed to be. If we had known about both babies it would have been a very different outcome. I do not' however' recommend you work that way. Check all details of your care—charts' palpation' dates—carefully. Outcomes are not always that good.

Diet Linked to Twinning Rate
The incidence of twinning in humans is linked to elevated insulin-growth factor (IGF). The twinning rate of women who do not eat any dairy is one-fifth the rate of vegetarians and omnivores. Elevated IGF levels related to a woman's diet, including the consumption of milk that contains growth hormones, appears to enhance the chances of a multiple pregnancy.

Featured Article
Twins: A Very Special Occurrence
Something about the word "twin" seems to inspire an immediate anxiety attack in all concerned: mother, father, grandmother, midwife and especially obstetrician. Medical literature abounds with information on multiple gestation and the inherent risks to the mother and her babies. Twins are generally viewed as pathology and very little is written about the possibilities of achieving an optimum outcome. I do not consider "twinning" to be an anomaly, but a very special occurrence which deserves careful management to ensure safety for both mother and babies. Indeed, there is no reason that a mother of twins cannot expect to deliver healthy full-term infants when she is properly educated, has a high level of responsibility and receives excellent prenatal care.
It is not my intent to either advocate or oppose the idea that the management of multiple pregnancies is beyond the scope of midwifery practice, or that out-of-hospital delivery of multiples should be considered. It is, however, my opinion that if one undertakes the practice of midwifery one should be knowledgeable about all possible "variations of normal" which may—and are likely to—occur.
In fact, the first twins' birth I attended caught me my surprise. The mother, new to my area, came to me in the second trimester. As I recorded her fundal height and found it to be above dates, I referred to her previous records and found she had equal measurements for dates with her first baby. Her son had weighed 10 lb at birth, so I accepted the disparity as normal for her. At term, her fundus measured 44 cm. If I had been looking for twins, I probably would have discovered them, but because I assumed she was going to have another "whopper," I simply missed the signs. Her labor progressed smoothly and rapidly to second stage, when she pushed once and delivered a beautiful, small, baby girl into my hands, I immediately listened for another heartbeat and discovered a second baby, ready to be born.

Question of the Week Responses
Q: What are your favorite natural remedies for labor and birth?
— E-News editorial staff
A: As much gentle encouragement as needed, and trying to stay in touch with whatever will make mom feel the most safe and loved at any given moment.
— Kristine Silveri
A: Arnica, both topical and oral, helps mom to heal. Peppermint extract is good for mom to smell if she needs energy or feels queasy.
— Diane Klingbile Peplin
A: I had a few prolonged third stages with my beginning practice and I was amazed at how quickly the placenta came with homeopathic pulsatilla—within five minutes! I wish I could use that if I ever practice in the hospital.
— Kathy Mercer
A: I like to focus on prenatal nutrition and emotional preparation. If you do the work prenatally, the birth is usually smoother. Labor is usually hard work and many women are not prepared to be pushed beyond their limits physically or emotionally. Getting outdoors and around nature, watching the cycles of weather, learning what animals need and do, these are all helpful.
— Helena Wu
A: Placenta-globules, if needed, in combination with Caulophyllum and Cimicifuga.

Think about It
It is commonly thought that to choose to birth twins at home is to take an unacceptable risk. As a midwife, I need to ensure that parents who make such a decision are adequately informed, as I see it is their, and not my, decision to make. My role is to provide information showing the perceived risks vs. the benefits.

Topic: I am on a 5 hour hospital parole so I thought I would catch you up
So, things are never easy with me. I am a drama queen extraordinare and so of course my ERCP was not easy and asked more questions than it answered.
Apparently, the area where the stomach and small intestines join is completely blocked. Nothing getting through which is the reason for all the vomitting. So they took some tissue samples which came back negative for cancer. So I have no signs of a reoccurance from tissue samples, MRI and numerous xrays. Bloodwork is ""rather good" as well.
My doctor says there are two possibilities. 1)Cancer is back or 2)Scar tissue is building up. On Monday, I will go under the knife again to have a small hole cut in the bottom of my stomach and have the small intestine attached directly there. While I am open, they will get more tissue samples and investigate.
My doctor said if it is a reoccurance, it will be impossible to get back on the liver transplant list but there is a possibility of some cutting edge surgery to remove the place if he can talk better doctors into it.
So here I am asking for everyone's best thoughts and prayers. I am so scared and my husband and I are clinging to each other. I told my doctor not to worry, its not cancer, just my yearly scare and hospital stay but he didnt look convinced. My dad is flying in on Sunday and my mom will wait to see if it is cancer before she uses her few vacation days.
Anyway, please keep me in your thoughts and prayers. I am so overwhelmed right now it is so hard for me to process things. I just read that Peter has passed away and it isnt really sinking in yet.

Q. I am a manufacturing engineer for a company that manufactures various types of hose products. We use textile braid as a reinforcing layer in rubber hose. In our manufacturing process we apply adhesive coatings over certain textile braid for reinforced hose constructions. On other hose items, we apply a lacquer coating over the textile braid. In order to dry out the lacquer coatings, the hose travels vertically through a 50-ft-high tower, passing through a series of electric heating elements. The liquids are applied by spraying. Naturally, this results in a lot of wasted overspray. This is a somewhat antiquated method of coating hose. We would like to investigate the possibility of a more updated arrangement such as electrostatic spraying. We thought you would be aware of some of the newer technologies in other industries which could prove to be of assistance or benefit to us in changing our method of coating hose braid. What do you suggest? L.C.
A. Electrostatic spraying will increase transfer efficiency by reducing overspray. Liquid coatings, which are applied by electrostatic spraying to metallic substrates, can also be applied to non-metallic substrates if they can be made to be electrically conductive. Special surface treatments are applied to wood and plastics to make them conductive. Heating will often produce the same effect also. Since textiles are usually surface treated at the mill during manufacture, a conductive coating can be applied to the filaments before the braid is woven.
Another approach would be using a UV curable, heat-reactive adhesive to coat the braid. UV curable coatings are 100 percent reactive (no solvents) and can be cured instantaneously in a relatively short UV light tunnel, thereby eliminating the need for a long, heated drying tower.

No matter how the season plays out for Southern University each year, there's always one game at the end of the slate that can essentially salvage the season.
A win against Grambling in the Bayou Classic can make the Jaguars' 3-6 showing this year a whole lot more manageable heading into the offseason — a feeling no one currently on the team has felt before.
The Jaguars have dropped the past four meetings with the Tigers, making the 2012 edition even more intriguing. But aside from the standard hype the rivalry receives each year, Saturday's skirmish has a bit of a special feel to it for Anthony Balancier.
The junior linebacker, a New Orleans native, has traveled back home for the past two seasons to play in the Bayou Classic but doesn't have anything to show for it yet.
Southern lost 38-17 in Balancier's first game against Grambling, when he chalked up five tackles — one for loss — as a true freshman. The Jaguars then dropped last year's clash 36-12, and Balancier recorded just two tackles — his second-lowest output of 2011.
So while Southern prepares to snap its losing streak Saturday, Balancier is fighting for a formidable showing in front of his hometown crowd.
"The two previous years, I haven't been doing good in the Bayou Classic game," Balancier said. "This year, I'm just going to let it all out and show the world and show the fans that I can show up in these big games. I've been coming home, and they've been beating us. At least one time, I (want) to come home and beat Grambling in the Superdome."
The significance of the Bayou Classic is nothing new to Balancier. The former McDonogh-35 standout grew up going to the game nearly every year with his mother, a Southern University alumna.
He followed in his mom's footsteps, partially "to make her happy," and has seen substantial action since his first year on campus.
Balancier ranked sixth on the team with 37 tackles in 10 games as a sophomore in 2011, adding two tackles for loss, an interception and a pass breakup. He's nearly doubled that showing in 10 games his year, compiling 60 tackles — 9½ for loss — four sacks, two interceptions and two forced fumbles.
"He came a long way," interim head coach Dawson Odums said. "He's growing up, and he's maturing. (The coaches) are just trying to teach him the right ways about life. In doing that, we're starting to see a tremendous performance out of him on the field."
Balancier credited Odums and linebacker coach Thaddeus Washington for his progress the past three seasons, and both parties agreed on the one thing that the 6-foot-2, 225-pounder has improved most through the years.
"Discipline," Balancier said. "They got me more disciplined. At first I was just playing, but they told me if I do it this way and don't just do it my own way, then I'll be more successful. They never slack up on me. They're always hard on me. They know the type of potential I have, and they're a big part of my success."
Balancier is hoping to put that potential on display Saturday afternoon when the Jaguars take the field under the national spotlight on NBC.
But even more than any personal gains Balancier may benefit from, he knows the importance the Bayou Classic holds for the future as Southern prepares for a to begin a new era under a new coach next season.
"It's like the battle of Louisiana," Balancier said. "Whoever wins this game gets the most recruits out of Louisiana, you get the bragging right for the whole year, so this game has a whole lot riding on it. It'll be good for us to win it, for sure."

HUNDREDS packed into Chilterns Crematorium this afternoon to remember popular Bucks football coach Gavin Lance.
The former chairman of Penn & Tylers Green Football Club died on February 8 after a long battle with cancer.
Tributes were led by Brian Keating, who described Gavin as a "kind, compassionate and caring man" who left a lasting legacy by coaching hundreds of youngsters in both football and cricket.
The keen practical joker was a self-proclaimed 'lethal striker' in his youth, said Brian, playing for Flackwell Heath, Prestwood and Lacey Green, before joining Penn & Tylers Green.
He worked in the Wycombe furniture industry as a manager and salesman and married wife Jan in 1976.
They had three children and Gavin began coaching in 1988 when his eldest son Matt started playing for Penn & Tylers Green Under 8s. In his first season Gavin led the team to the league title and the side soon became the most successful in the club's history.
The 58-year-old, of Taplin Way, Tylers Green, went on to help form Penn & Tylers Green Sports and Social Club, and the club was regularly "bursting at the seams" after he installed large TV screens and decorated it with flags, said former club official Mike Townshend.
"I know I speak for many when I say it was a privilege and a pleasure to know him", Mike added.
Mourners sung Gavin's favourite hymn Abide With Me and listened to Queen song No One But You, before poems were read by Eddie Bellamy and Matt Miller, captain of his junior team.
The ceremony ended on Chesney Hawkes hit The One and Only, which had been the 'theme tune' for the all conquering Under 8s team.

Junior explorer Faroe Petroleum announced Thursday that it has taken a 25-percent stake in the Pil prospect offshore Norway as well as acquiring a 50-percent interest in the Lowlander discovery in the UK zone of the central North Sea.
The Pil prospect is located within tie-back distance to the producing Njord field in which Faroe holds a 7.5-percent interest. According to the firm, the prospect is a combined structural and stratigraphic closure with the primary target being at a shallow Upper Jurassic Rogn formation sandstone that has proved to be an effective reservoir in the Draugen field some 38 miles to the northeast.
Faroe said that an exploration well is scheduled to be drilled on Pil in the first half of 2014 with the Transocean Arctic rig. The operator is VNG, from whom Faroe acquired its 25-percent stake.
The Lowlander stake has been bought from Talisman Sinopec. Discovered in 1987, the Lowlander field is an Upper Jurassic Piper sand oil accumulation located in the central North Sea, around 130 miles northeast of Aberdeen. The field has been fully appraised and has sour characteristics similar to the Perth field. The work program will include a joint Perth/Lowlander development study.
"Our acquisition of a 50-percent share of Lowlander helps create the potential for an attractive joint Perth/Lowlander development. The collective volumes in these fields are significant, considering their central location in the UK North Sea, and we look forward to making progress in the near term towards their development," Faroe Chief Executive Graham Stewart said in a statement.
Stewart pointed out that the next well to spud in its program will be the Darwin frontier well, the company's first in the Norwegian waters of the Barents Sea. Darwin, in which Faroe holds a 12.5-percent stake, is operated by Spain's Repsol and potentially holds one billion barrels of oil equivalent according to estimates.
Faroe is also awaiting results from another frontier well, North Uist, located west of Shetland.

See's Candies Easter Gifts: Scotchmallow Eggs
When I saw that these candy eggs got the highest possible rating (10 out of 10) on Candy Blog I had to try them. That's because I can't see a box of See's without thinking of my Californian grandparents who often sent them to our family on holidays. The horrible secret was that I never really liked the taste of their assortments. I can pass on the family tradition in good cheer now-- these are scrumptious!

" Brand: Aldi / Type: Snacks "
After trying the Caramel Rice Slims from the same range at Aldi I spotted these Summer Salad flavour and wanted to also give them a go.
*Where and How Much?*
They are only available at Aldi stores.
A box costs 99p and contains foil wrapped rice slims, each containing 10 rice slims. This makes them really handy and easy to store. I have often got a packet in my handbag or in my son's bag so that we both have a snack while we are out and about.
*Nutritional Bits*
Per quarter of a box, which is one packet of 10, the nutritional values are as follows:
Cals - 86
Protein - 2.3g
Carbs - 18.0g
Fat - 0.5g
Fibre - 1.1g
Salt Equivalent - 1.1g
*Taste, Smell, Appearance & Experience*
These slim flat discs of puffed rice are similar in size to a tealight candle, or a high-ball glass, slightly bigger than a regular sized snack-a-jack. They are a pale cream colour with a dusting of a red - orange colour.
They smell of tomatoes and lettuce - which is a bit odd from a rice cake!
I really did not expect the flavour I got from these. They really do taste like a summer salad with noticeable onion, lettuce and tomatoes. It is a really odd taste sensation and I am not sure if I am totally convinced by them. My son does enjoy them and so for that and the convenience of the foil wrapped packs I will definitely buy these again.

Rhys Badcock has won MasterChef: The Professionals with his ability to replicate a Marco Pierre White dish from memory.
Badcock won $200,000 and the chance to work with some of the world's best chef's for taking out Network Ten reality cooking series.
He scored a total 50 points from three challenges to defeat Rhett Willis and Sarah Knights, who tied for second place, by two points.
Badcock, who splits his time living in Byron Bay and Broome, set-up the win during the second challenge.
The trio had to make a dish made by judge and UK celebrity chef and judge Marco Pierre White.
White first prepared the leek and lobster terrine in front of the three finalists who then had to replicate the dish.
Badcock decided not to read the recipe on offer but make it from memory.
Amazingly he scored nine out of 10 from White and eight from MasterChef's resident critic Matt Preston.
Knights and Willis didn't fare as well which proved the difference on the evening.
Badcock almost came unstuck during the final round because of an entree blunder.
The three finalists had to prepare a three-course meal for 120 chefs for the final challenge.
Willis, Knights and Badcock each picked two chefs, who had been eliminated during the series, to help out.
That was nearly Badcock's downfall.
The 27-year-old asked one his lieutenants Kiah Blanco to Cryovac the black pudding before boiling it.
But the black pudding went in the pot without being Cryovaced, or vacuum wrapped in plastic before cooking, and it drew criticism from Preston during tasting.
It cost Badcock slightly but not enough to deny him first prize.
Willis and Knights both received $10,000 for finishing tied for second.

Over the past month, my tot had taken a liking to drinking water out of a real cup with a straw. But that's only convenient when we're at home or in a restaurant. As a second child, my lil one is constantly on the go and we needed a cup that was easily transported. I reached out to a number of companies and put seven brands to the test. Check out the results!

Expert Advice
The DICK'S Sporting Goods Golf Club Buying Guide
Learn more about the clubs in your bag before making your selection.
Golf drivers help you achieve distance and flight off the tee. You can select from standard, midsize and oversized clubheads and a variety of materials, from innovative titanium to popular aluminum. Today's larger clubfaces have larger sweet spots and promote greater stability and power on impact. In addition, drivers come in many lofts, typically between 8 and 15 degrees for men and 10 and 15 degrees for women.
Fairway woods are typically used for shots along the fairway. They have a higher loft than your driver and feature a smaller profile that can be used for directional control from tee or fairway. These clubs are typically made of graphite.
Irons are used for shots of less than 200 yards. Traditional iron sets include eight irons—three through nine irons and a pitching wedge. You can choose from game-improvement or player irons. A low profile, wide sole and lower center of gravity make them exceptionally playable.
Putters come in blade, mallet and alignment clubhead designs. Three to four degrees of loft provides smooth roll and limited skidding on the green.
Determine your ability level before selecting your clubs. Golfers fall into three general categories based on their ability level: low handicap, mid handicap and high handicap. Your handicap is your performance against the par on a course, usually in relation to a par 72 course.
Low-handicap golfers should opt for a driver and at least one fairway wood, most likely the 3-wood. These players can benefit from lower irons in their bag.
Mid-handicap golfers might try a driver, a 3-wood and a 5-wood for better control and consistency than harder-to-hit long irons. For irons, try a pitching wedge and irons 3 through 9.
High-handicap golfers may opt to play without the driver in their bag. Instead, try a 3-wood.
To customize your game even further, shop personalized golf balls from Titleist, Callaway and more top brands.

With the fire in the side box, you have the whole chamber as a smoking chamber, and I would guess that it is much easier to keep it at the magic 220 – 225 temperature. I find that I have to tend the fire quite often to keep an even temperature, but with close attention you can keep it as cool or as hot as you want.

Hey there, time traveller!
This article was published 17/2/2013 (1648 days ago), so information in it may no longer be current.
Winnipeg police reported two more busts in their ongoing crackdown on drug trafficking.
The latest arrests on Valentine's Day netted a cache of nearly a quarter-million dollars in cash, a stash of cocaine and marijuana and thousands of dollars worth of property.
For more than six months, Winnipeg's police districts in the east and south ends of the city have joined forces with the province in a bid to bring drug trafficking to heel in the city. So far, the wide-ranging investigation has resulted in 12 search warrants and 20 arrests.
In the latest busts they had assistance from the tactic support unit in the raids on an East Kildonan home on the 200 block of Emerson Avenue and another on the 400 block of Shorehill Drive.
In addition to cocaine and marijuana, police seized two canisters of pepper spray, a collapsible baton, $240,000 in cash and $19,500 worth of property related to proceeds of crime.
Manitoba Justice Safer Neighbourhoods worked with the East District's general patrol unit and the community support unit on the crackdown.
A 27-year-old Winnipeg man and a 22-year-old woman from Lockport were arrested and face various criminal charges.

Hey there, time traveller!
This article was published 25/4/2013 (1580 days ago), so information in it may no longer be current.
YOU can give the early edge in the battle to see who will be Buck Pierce's backup at starting quarterback in 2013 to Max Hall -- at least this week.
Hall, who started three games for the NFL's Arizona Cardinals in 2010, impressed the Winnipeg Blue Bombers coaching staff with the crispness of his passes and the quickness of his reads during the first two days of the club's mini-camp this week at the Winnipeg Indoor Soccer Complex.
Bombers head coach Tim Burke said that he busied himself on Thursday working with his defence, but he said a detailed look at the film from Wednesday's practice left him impressed with Hall.
"I think Max did a good job understanding the offence and getting the ball off quick. Chase (Clement) was a little bit slower on his reads, but I think that's only because of Max's experience with a version of the West Coast offence with Arizona. And the offence they had at BYU when he was there was kind of a carryover from (Bombers offensive co-ordinator) Gary (Crowton's) offence when he was there."
Hall played at BYU from 2007-09, where Crowton was the head coach from 2001-04.
The fact Burke seems to have given the early edge to Hall in the backup battle so far is not a surprise. Burke said Wednesday that Clement's strength is his mobility and the former Rice standout won't get a chance to really show that until full training camp begins June 2 and everyone straps on the pads.
The other wrinkle in the back-up battle is Justin Goltz. The veteran Bombers backup isn't at mini-camp this week because his wife is due to give birth any day, but he is expected to get a long, hard look as the No. 2 man once full camp begins.
Burke said he's been delighted with the progress that's been made during the first two days of mini-camp.
"I think the mini-camp is going great. We're getting a lot of plays in, the quarterbacks are getting a lot of reps. We've got the new plays in on offence and the new coverages in on defence -- I really like what we're seeing out there.
"I think we have a real up-tempo pracice going. I'm really happy with it."
Burke said he's liked what he's seen so far this week in veteran receiver Clarence Denmark and he also singled out the athleticism of receiver Jameze Massey, the diminutive rookie speedster the Bombers are hoping will be their punt returner this season.
Burke did add, however, that Massey needs to show better hands catching the ball.
"But once he catches it, he can make something happen," said Burke.
Burke also said he likes what he's been seeing out of rookie DB Desia Dunn.
