I hope everyone is admiring those lovely grill marks, because actually I had to cook this recipe twice in a week to get a piece of fish that looked the way I wanted. The first time, both pieces stuck to the grill, but they still tasted completely delicious, so it wasn't too much of a hardship to make this twice! It was a good reminder that oiling the grill grate is one of the most important things about successfully cooking fish on the grill. For the second batch, I used a product called Pam for Grilling, which is a spray that keeps food from sticking. It worked like a charm. You can also oil your grill with a paper towel dipped in olive oil with good results.
For the next four months, I'll be grilling over and over. It's simply one of my favorite ways to cook. I have quite a few good grilling recipes, and to make them a little easier to find, I've added a new section specifically for Grilling to the recipe archives, over there on the left if you take a peek. I mentioned that I'm doing some work on the archives, sorting recipes within the categories by type. If you'd like to see how they're turning out, so far I've finished Easy South Beach Recipes, Vegetables and Vegetarian Dishes, and Rice, Grains, Beans, and Legumes. If you're a reader who uses the recipe archives (I know there are a lot of you who do!) let me know what you think.
Soy-Grilled Mahi Mahi recipe with Korean Dipping Sauce
(Makes 2 servings, recipe slightly adapted from one which appeared in Weeknight Grilling, a magazine published by Cuisine at Home.)
2 pieces Mahi Mahi (I used wild Mahi Mahi from Costco. Mahi Mahi are not Dolphins if anyone is wondering.)
Sauce/Marinade Ingredients:
1/4 cup soy sauce (use gluten-free soy sauce such as Tamari for gluten-free)
1 1/2 T Rice vinegar (not seasoned)
1 T sesame oil
2 T Stevia Granulated, Splenda, or brown sugar (use Stevia or Splenda for South Beach Diet.)
1 green onion, thinly sliced
1 tsp. garlic puree (also called ground garlic)
pinch of cayenne pepper or a dash of hot sauce
This recipe was used on Tuna in the magazine, and I think it would also be very good on Salmon.
South Beach Suggestions:
Made with Stevia or Splenda, this is a perfect main dish for any phase of the South Beach Diet. This would taste great with Wake Up Your Mouth Thai Cucumber Salad and Grilled Zucchini for phase one. For phase two or three, replace the zucchini with something like Brown and Wild Rice with Pine Nuts and Thyme.

Category: Chinese-American culture
To commemorate the Chinese New Year, today's guest blogger Michael, aka Mai-kuh, a keen first-hand observer of Chinese culture, reflects on some of the idiosyncracies of international name exchange.
Several years ago, I visited a Chinese friend, Wu, who was completing a business degree in Virginia. We had originally met almost ten years prior in China, when we studied together during my college semester abroad in a city near Shanghai. Even as a college student in China, Wu had been something of an addict when it came to American popular culture, casually sprinkling his English conversation with slang expressions picked up from counterfeit DVDs of Friends. But I was still shocked when, visiting Wu in his Virginia dorm room, he proudly showed me a picture of his newborn son back in Shanghai.
"He's so cute!", I gushed. "What's his name?"
"No, just Larry. Well, he has a Chinese name of course," Wu quickly explained, "but I decided to make Larry his English name. It's handsome, don't you think?"
Whatever your particular feelings about the merits of the name Larry for a Chinese infant, Wu's story captures something of the capricious way that people in mainland China often choose their English names, should they decide they need one. And these days, many Chinese in large cities — even if they don't ever plan to leave China — decide to pick a Western "nickname" for ease of doing business with foreigners, for fun, or to be fashionable.
A Chinese student in Beijing or Shanghai might choose his or her English name in high school or college (and presumably, Larry will have the freedom someday to change to a new English name if he so chooses). When I spent a summer working at a financial firm in Shanghai, it was mandatory for all Chinese employees to use their English names — even in conversation with their Chinese coworkers. The only "Claude" I've ever known was a 22 year-old Shanghai native in the cubicle next door.
The process by which Chinese parents name their children is anything but simple. Chinese given names are generally chosen for meaning, sometimes with the consultation of a naming expert who ensures the name is auspicious according to Chinese astrology.
By contrast, the process of a young Chinese student choosing his or her own English name is an exercise in fun and cultural freedom. Chinese shares few linguistic similarities with English, so the typical Chinese name has few built-in clues to suggest its English equivalent. Unlike an "Alexandrei" from Moscow who might use the English name "Alex," Zhang from Beijing is under no obligation to chose "Johnny" as the closest approximation.

The beef checkoff and the Florida Beef Council, with grant funding from the Federation of State Beef Councils, is launching a targeted Hispanic Beef program at Publix Miami Division stores beginning September 15 through October 15, 2012. "Celebrating Latin Cultures through Creative Beef Recipes" is part of an effort to recognize Hispanic Heritage Month.
Sixty Hispanic Publix stores will be selected for this program in the Hispanic South Florida market featuring custom-designed collateral and tasty demo events. A signature beef recipe demonstration will be held each weekend featuring Badia Marinades and Reynolds Wrap with supporting marketing materials distributed during the five-week window.
"Results from the checkoff's Hispanic marketing programs have shown how targeting this growing demographic can increase beef sales at retail by as much as 43 percent on average," says Roger Butler, dairy producer from Lorida, Fla., and chair of the Florida Beef Council. "This demographic group eats beef more than twice as often as the average consumer, and these types of promotions are appealing to these avid beef consumers, according to our past research."
Custom promotional pieces include brochures, bilingual store demos, bilingual shelf signage, on-pack recipe stickers and Hispanic Dictionaries.

Los Gatos, Calif. -- BrightSign that LifeProof has deployed the company's players in point-of-purchase displays in Best Buy retail stores. LifeProof, a manufacturer of rugged cases for iPhone and iPad, is using 1,600 inline displays in Best Buy's 800 U.S.-based stores to engage customers and generate sales in the increasingly competitive iOS accessories market.
BrightSign's players power sleek-looking, inline POP displays that integrate seamlessly into the store shelf. A landscape-oriented touch-screen anchors the display, surrounded by the various LifeProof products that are featured in a series of touch-interactive video vignettes that showcase the products' key features. The screens loop video content and entice customers in the vicinity to interact with the engaging content on the touch-screen display. Upon interaction, customers have the ability to "drive" the presentation and learn more about the product that best suits their needs and lifestyle.
"We needed a POP display that reflects the value of the LifeProof brand and vividly articulates the value of our products," said Kyle Ballarta, marketing director at LifeProof. "BrightSign made it possible to deliver the interactive content necessary to successfully convey how our products give our customers the freedom to use their mobile device anywhere and everywhere their day takes them."
In terms of cost, BrightSign offered LifeProof several advantages. With roughly 1,600 HD1020 players deployed in Best Buy stores across the country, the affordability of the players themselves gave LifeProof a cost-effective way to deploy the displays in all 800 stores while keeping the up-front costs well within budget. And with an uptime rate greater than 99.9%, BrightSign's players gave LifeProof confidence that they could install the displays and nearly eliminate future maintenance costs altogether.

Now you can open PDFs directly in Firefox
Do you want to know what's annoyed me most about recently switching from Google Chrome to Firefox (or, more precisely, its 64-bit variant, Waterfox)? The lack of a built-in PDF viewer, that's what.
In Chrome, you'd click on a PDF link, and it would open in Chrome: do the same in Firefox, and it would save the PDF to disk instead. Incredibly annoying. The development of a built-in PDF previewer was welcome news to my ears, but having appeared in Firefox 15 Beta, it disappeared from the final version. The good news is that it's there, and you can switch it on. If you know how.
If – like me – you're desperate to view PDFs in your Firefox (or Pale Moon, or Waterfox) browser window, but you don't want to use a third-party plug-in such as Adobe Reader, then this is what you need to do.
First, make sure you using the latest version of Firefox or Waterfox – download Firefox 15 FINAL here, Waterfox 15.0 here, and Pale Moon 15.0 here(or here if you want the 64-bit version).
Next, open the Firefox (or Waterfox or Pale Moon) menu and choose Add-ons. Select Plugins and see if Adobe Acrobat is present. If it is, select it and click its Disable button.
Now, open a new tab and type about:config into the Address bar, clicking I'll be careful, I promise! if it appears. Type browser.preferences.inContent into the Search box and hit [Enter]. When it appears in the Preference Name list, check its Value: if it's set to 'false', double-click it to change it to 'true'.
Now type pdfjs.disabled into the Search box and hit [Enter]. This time, the default value is 'true', so double-click it to change the value to 'false'.
Pale Moon users need to also switch the built-in PDF viewer on – type pdfjs.firstRun into the Search box, press [Enter] and double-click it so its value reads 'true'.
There's one final check to perform: open the Firefox, Waterfox or Pale Moon menu again, but this time choose Options > Options, then switch to the Applications tab. Check the Portable Document Format (PDF) setting – if it's not set to "Preview in Firefox/Waterfox/Pale Moon" then click the current setting and choose Preview in Firefox/Waterfox/Pale Moon to complete the switch.
Once done, you should now find clicking on PDFs in your browser opens them in a new tab (you can test your new settings by opening this step-by-step guide to installing Windows XP by yours truly), complete with navigation controls and the all-important download button in the top right-hand corner of the window.

Real Money's Long Shot column is dedicated to trading ideas that are highly risky, but which present an opportunity for significant payoff if they work. Such ideas are sometimes characterized as "lottery tickets" and are for only the most risk-tolerant investors, as the potential for 100% loss is high.
In a recent "Long Shot" post, I pointed out a promising name trading below cash value but poised to soar if a new business model eliminates cash burn. Because UTStarcom (UTSI) is a Chinese company, no one believes its numbers (and Tuesday's Caterpillar (CAT) news does nothing to burnish the reputation of Chinese companies), but I suspect UTSI is for real, and if new management pursues a new strategy to return cash flow to breakeven, the stock will move. Stocks trading below cash value are a great place to troll for trading ideas. The market is telling you they are going out of business, so the slightest whiff of success can send shares soaring.
I expanded on this idea Tuesday in Real Money Pro's "Daily Diary," and I wanted to share the love with Real Money subscribers. These companies have market caps that are less than cash on their balance sheets, net of all debt. I screened for a minimum $50 million cap to remove the tiny "junk" names and kept the focus on real companies. The especially interesting ones were those with the prospect of not burning through cash, so I included the most recent quarter's operating cash flow.
Some names would be better served closing their doors and paying back shareholders. For instance, Sycamore Networks (SCMR) has a huge cash hoard that should be returned. Imation (IMN) is in the middle of a "strategic transformation" but could plausibly go to breakeven cash flow in the near term. Tellabs (TLAB) is a head fake in this table, since it will be paying a $367 million special dividend soon -- a lesson to do the research and not just rely on the initial screen for names.
As always, don't buy these based on a screen alone; use this as a starting point to find names poised for a quick move as the market recognizes going-concern value.

In your experience, how much difference does weight make when it comes to stability? (RHFH thrower)
When thrown flat, my 168g opto Saints turn too much for me. Would moving up to a 175g change the high speed stability significantly?
If there wouldn't be that much of a difference then I would probably try a more (over)stable disc like a PD, OLF or Boatman.

A Message from Sheriff Scott Israel
As the sheriff of Broward County, I made a commitment to the public that the Broward Sheriff's Office would make it a priority to keep our kids in school and out of jail. In one of my first staff meetings with my new administration, we discussed the topic of juvenile civil citations. During the discussion, I began looking through youth arrest records and came across a name I recognized. It was one of the players I coached in football. Because his crime was a misdemeanor, he could have been eligible for a diversion program, which would have kept his name out of the courts and off the record. Unfortunately, he had been arrested instead.
The focus of the Civil Citation Program is to educate youth about the consequences of their actions while addressing their needs and diverting cases from the criminal court system. While young people make up 30 percent of our population, they are 100 percent of our future. We need to work towards building this future.
The direct benefits of the Civil Citation Program extend beyond the youthful offender. The program also saves millions of tax dollars that would otherwise be spent on other juvenile justice system operations. To move an offender through the traditional criminal court system costs about $5,000 and takes about eight months. In contrast, it costs only about $500 and takes 45-60 days to put someone through the Civil Citation Program.
The lasting effect of a criminal record has the potential to derail the future of a child. It can affect future employment, military service or scholarship opportunities. In an effort to address this concern, I mandated that all deputies issue a civil citation to any youthful offender who is suspected of committing a first-time misdemeanor offense. In lieu of an arrest, the youth agrees to participate in community service and any necessary intervention services.
Any young individual in our community could one day grow to become a great sheriff, lawyer or teacher. However, this success could be hindered by a tarnished criminal record. The Broward Sheriff's Office is committed to helping these kids get into the right programs and on the right track. Change can already be seen in the numbers. In the first half of 2013, 175 youth have been referred to the Civil Citation Program, which is a monumental comparison to only 68 who were referred in all of 2012.
As law enforcement officers, our worth should be measured by how many children we keep out of jail, not how many we arrest. I firmly believe one mistake made in the teenage years should not invalidate or discourage anyone from a successful future. Today's children are tomorrow's future, and we must invest in every individual. Diverting first-time offenders through programs to help keep their records clean and teach them responsibility gives them a second chance for a better life.

Exercise and Fitness
Flabby underarms
How do I get rid of flabby underarms? I have some 10 pound hand held dumb bells. Can I use them to get rid of the flab?
There are plenty of things you can do to help reduce unwanted flabby arms and be on your way to stronger and more well-toned ones. First and foremost, a sound, well balanced eating plan is important in decreasing body fat. If you are uncertain about what to eat, meet with a registered dietitian to find out about proper nutrition.
Once you have established a healthy eating plan, the next step is to coordinate your exercise program. Be sure to have some activity in your life most days of the week. Aim for at least thirty minutes of moderate intensity exercise at least three times a week. If you are not anywhere near this level, start slowly and work up to this gradually. Examples of moderate intensity cardiovascular exercise include walking at a brisk pace, jogging, cycling, etc. You should break a sweat and be able to reasonably hold a conversation during the activity.
Both weight training and cardiovascular activity are required to improve your fitness level. Positive results are seen when both are included in a training program. Remember, though, that strength training will help you tone, but it won't rid your body of excess fat in a specific area, for example, on your arms. For strengthening and toning your arms, there are many exercises you can do. If you don't have access to a gym, you may do the following exercises anywhere:
Push ups are a classic exercise which work the triceps (back of the arm which often jiggles when we wave to someone), chest, and shoulders. You may modify the traditional push up by putting one or both knees on the floor rather than straightening them behind you. This exercise may also be performed against a wall. Place your hands on a wall and push your upper body away. Work up to three sets of fifteen repetitions. Challenge yourself, but do only what you can when just starting out.
Kickbacks are another great triceps exercise. Grab a dumbbell with your right hand and position your left knee and left hand onto a flat bench. Keep your right arm tucked into your side at a 90 degree angle. Slowly extend your right arm back while keeping your elbow in. At full extension of the movement, make sure to keep a little bend in your arm and all the tension on your tricep muscle. Slowly lower the dumbbell back to the starting position. Repeat with your opposite arm.

Assessing Three Pre-Earnings Plays
Heading into earnings I like the Dell (DELL) chart. I said that last quarter, too, I think. It didn't work out quite so well on the long side, but I did hedge that one with some volatility trades. Still, the original thesis was incorrect. So why not try again? Isn't that how it works? It is if you are looking to go broke, but that isn't my reason. DELL is getting to an attractive valuation. Perhaps it's a value trap, but it has a 3.3% yield, positive cash flow and a business model that I believe can turn around. Also, I'm not concerned about any capital gains selling right now.Dell (DELL) –- Daily Source: StockCharts.com View Chart » View in New Window »
My approach into earnings for DELL is to look for the stock to pop back up or over $10. I am a buyer of the November 16 $9.5-10 call spread for $0.22 or less. Also, I am going long 1x November 23 $9 put and short 2x November 16 $9 puts for a net credit of $0.03. I will be a buyer of the stock under $9 as the yield would exceed 3.5% and would pair up well with other old school tech names such as Cisco (CSCO)....191 more words left in this article.

Titan Merchandise, a leading international licensee of pop culture icons and Captain Action Enterprises, licensors of the popular Captain Action line, have teamed up to produce a series of T-shirts, mugs, I.D. holders and more. These products will be on sale internationally in late 2012.
Ive been a massive fan of Captain Action since my late 60s childhood in the North West of England said Titan director Andrew Sumner. Back then, my grandfather kept me supplied with a steady diet of US comic books and I was filled with excitement every time I read a Captain Action advertisement in the back pages, I would have done ANYTHING to own the action figure. Stan Westons costume design blew my mind, which was blown even further when I picked up Jim Shooter and Wally Woods first issue of the DC comic. By the time Gil Kane and Wally Woods classic, way-ahead-of-its-time issue five rolled around, I was hooked for life! Its our absolute pleasure to be working with the awesome team at Captain Action Enterprises on such an iconic, brilliantly-designed property.

Current plans call for the first wave to include a distressed T-shirt with the Captain Action logo, a coffee mug and an I.D. holder.
The new products will debut at New York Comic Con at the Javits Center from October 11 to 14, 2012.

Sleep Disorders
When I take a nap my body goes numb
Almost every time I take a nap, my body goes numb and it hurts, I can see myself sleeping in my dream and I am freaking out in my head. Weird things happen, one time something was touching my back and it felt like i fell off the couch and i was like rolling down a hill, but I was still on the couch and all I could hear was some roaring sound that kept getting louder and louder and no matter what I couldn`t wake up.
Only one time it happened when I was sleeping during the night, It is extremely uncomfortable and I am scared to nap at all anymore because it scares me, I can`t scream or anything its like I`m vulnerable because I have no control of my body.
Yesterday, I took a nap and there were people in the room, and i was able to talk in my dream, but then the numbness came back and I was trying to get out of the bed and my head went back and my arms were flying everywhere trying to hit the person that was next to me to signal them that I needed to wake up like right now.
I have a trouble sleeping, or feeling rested when I wake up so my doctor prescribed me muscle relaxers to help me sleep. I have been on them for over a year now and I wasn`t sure if my pills had to do with it or what was going on.
I`m only 17.
Should I be worried or should I just avoid taking naps?
It sounds as though you are experiencing the symptoms of sleep-related hallucinations and sleep paralysis. Feeling like you cannot move when you awaken can be a frightening sensation. However, you should not feel alone (or worried) as this is extremely common, particularly in your age group. Up to 15-40% of young adults experience this at least once in their lifetime and as many as 5-6% have this occur recurrently.
Sleep paralysis is usually described as the inability to perform voluntary movements either at sleep onset or upon awakening. Individuals often report that they cannot speak or move the limbs, trunk or head. While breathing is actually not affected, the sensation of not being able to breath can accompany the paralysis and can be quite scary. Most individuals will recall the events. The episodes usually only last for seconds up to a few minutes and tend to resolve on their own. Occasionally, the episode will end if the person is touched or spoken to.
Episodes of sleep paralysis can be very anxiety producing. In addition to the sensation of not being able to breathe, sleep-related hallucinations, whether hearing or seeing things that are not present, can accompany the event. Sleep paralysis can be brought on by lack of adequate sleep, keeping an irregular sleep schedule and being under excessive stress.
Several additional pieces of history would be important in determining if you need further evaluation for this.
- Do you have any other medical or psychiatric problems?
- Do you snore or have pauses in your breathing of longer than 10 seconds while asleep that would suggest obstructive sleep apnea.
- Have you gained or lost more than 15 pounds in the past year?
- Do you have a family history of similar problems at night?
- Do you have an irresistible urge to fall asleep during the day?
The reasons these questions are important is that they might help determine if you symptoms could be related to underlying obstructive sleep apnea (OSA) or narcolepsy, both of which can be associated with sleep paralysis and sleep-related hallucinations. One possibility would be that 1 year ago when you started having trouble sleeping and woke up not feeling rested that you were having OSA. Starting a muscle relaxant may have made this condition worse.
I suggest that you discuss these symptoms with your physician. I would consider stopping the muscle relaxant now (discuss with you physician if the medication needs to be weaned). I would also discuss a referral to a Sleep Center to determine if further evaluation for sleep disordered breathing or narcolepsy is needed.

We should all be as lucky as the staff at San Jose's Artik Art & Architecture, who work in an office constantly surrounded by amazing art.
Bill Gould, the architecture firm's founder, held the 20th annual open house art party Wednesday evening at Artik's offices/art studio on Umbarger Road in San Jose. It's normally an amazing event, part hoedown and part gallery show — but this year was over the top to mark the milestone, with more than 100 pieces on display from about 90 Bay Area artists.
Mingling with the art-loving crowd were several artists whose work was either on display at the party or had been shown in previous years, including Al Preciado, Kathryn Dunlevie, Tony May, Tessie Barrara-Scharaga, Charlotte Kruk, Harry Powers, Lynn Powers, M. Louise Stanley, Lucy Traeger, Katherine Levin-Lau and Paul J. Gonzalez. There were paintings, sculptures, metalwork and prints wherever your eye would go. Some of the pieces are part of Gould's personal collection, but most were created for this and it was all carefully curated by Kathryn Funk.
Gould says filling the office with real, locally produced art — and having an annual open house showcasing it — was his way of bringing things together and bringing people together: artists, CEOs, teachers, builders and musicians.
"I wanted the art because I wanted my staff to think," he said. "There's work that people like. There's work that people don't like. To me, it doesn't matter. It starts a conversation."
Gould's own work continues to blossom, too, and he's leaving this weekend for a 10-day trip to Poland to begin installation on a community art project in the town of Lubin, close to where he and his wife, Jill, lived for two years in the 1980s. He'll start installation of the piece, "Maki," consisting of five 24-foot-high representations of poppies, in June and return to finish the job before the dedication.
"The dedication is Sept. 13, and that's 30 years to the day since Jill and I first set foot in Poland," he said.
CREATIVE CONNECTION: Silicon Valley Creates held a reception Tuesday night at the ZERO1 Garage in downtown San Jose to honor its Artist Laureates: San Jose Taiko founders Roy and PJ Hirabayashi, musician Van-Anh Vanessa Vo, artist Consuelo Jimenez Underwood, City Lights Theater Company Executive Artistic Director Lisa Mallette and sculpture artist Ryan Carrington.
Of course, with a crowd like that, the event couldn't help but get creative. There was a flash-mob like "call and response" that started during an original song composed by PJ Hirabayashi. And Vo gladly joined San Jose Taiko on the song playing her famed bamboo xylophone.
HUMAN RIGHTS CHAMPIONS: Santa Clara County honored those who work to protect and advocate for human and civil rights Thursday night at its annual Human Relations Awards, held at the County Government Center on Hedding Street in San Jose.
This year's honorees were the Services, Immigration Rights and Education Network (SIREN), which received the Human Relations Commission Award; Silicon Valley De-Bug, which received the Office of Human Relations Director's Award; and retired Judge LaDoris Cordell, currently San Jose's Independent Police Auditor, who was presented with the James P. McEntee Sr. Lifetime Achievement Award.
Also recognized at the event were award winners from each supervisor's district: Community Technology Alliance (District 1); Viet Nam Nguyen (District 2), the Affordable Housing Network of Santa Clara County (District 3); the Equity Project (District 4); and Civility Roundtable Project of the Mt. View Human Relations Commission (District 5).
URBAN PARTY: The Circle of Palms between the Fairmont Hotel and the Museum of Art in downtown San Jose was overrun with urbanists Thursday evening, as SPUR San Jose welcomed hundreds of people to its annual Members Party. Among the faces in the crowd were Kim Walesh, director of economic development and chief strategist for the city of San Jose; San Jose Museum of Art Executive Director Susan Krane; commercial real estate broker Mark Ritchie; architect Rob Steinberg; Core Companies Vice President Chris Neale; San Jose Downtown Association Executive Director Scott Knies; and SPUR Executive Director Gabriel Metcalf.
"This is a big success for us," said Leah Toeniskoetter, director of SPUR San Jose. "Our goal was to bring a lot of people together, and we did it."
SPUR, which advocates for smart urban planning, has more interesting events on the horizon in San Jose, too, including a free forum on Latino Urbanism at its South First Street office on June 12 and a historic walking tour of St. James Park with Bonnie Bamburg and April Halberstadt scheduled for June 23.

MANGIA! MANGIA!: It sounds like there should be a great time had at "A Night in Tuscany," a fundraiser being presented by the Saratoga Area Senior Coordinating Council and El Camino Hospital on June 7.
The M.E. Fox Event Center at West Valley College will be transformed into an Italian trattoria, with wine-tasting provided by Cooper-Garrod Vineyards, a strolling musician and an Italian dinner. Tickets are $60, with proceeds supporting the Saratoga Adult Care Center. For tickets and more information, go to www.anightintuscany.org.

text: Connecticut is repealing the death penalty, the fifth state in five years to ban the practice. The new law replaces the death penalty with life in prison without parole.Abolition backers say the time has come to end the use of capital punishment because the practice is outdated and the risk of killing an innocent victim is too great. Supporters of capital punishment said the practice is suitable for perpetrators of particularly heinous crimes.The Catholic Church opposes the death penalty except in the most serious of cases when it is the only way society has to "defend human lives against an unjust aggressor." The church considers such cases "very rare, if not practically nonexistent."Death penalty bans have been enacted in Illinois, New Jersey, New Mexico and New York. Sixteen other states have no capital punishment law. California voters will decide in November whether to ban the practice.

I think we're going to go with the TD. While I understand the want of another midrange, I think opting for both the PD and TD would give a wider range of players a go to driver depending on their power.

One in 14 people in Yorkshire fear they will not be able to afford to pay the rent or mortgage this month, according to a housing charity.
A survey by Shelter shows a large number of people are starting the New Year worried about whether they will be able to keep their home, as the cost of Christmas is piled on top of rising household bills.
More than a third (39 per cent) of people in Yorkshire and the Humber said they were expecting to struggle or fall behind with their rent or mortgage in 2014, while 14 per cent admitted to not opening post if they thought it was a bill.
Liz Clare, a helpline adviser at Shelter, said: "We're now seeing a stream of cases of families who've been unable to cope with mounting rent or mortgage bills and feel at breaking point.
"We all know how difficult it can be to face up to financial problems and we often hear from people who've been avoiding urgent post, but the reality is that not confronting it means things can spiral out of control.
"One caller to the helpline arrived home to her rented flat to find the locks had been changed. She hadn't realised that a court hearing had even taken place because she hadn't felt able to open her post after falling into arrears with her rent."
The charity said families appeared to be having the greatest financial difficulties.
Campbell Robb, chief executive of Shelter, said: "Unless they get help, some of the families struggling now could face the very real prospect of losing their home this year.
"Despite recent discussion of an economic recovery, we know that a combination of high housing costs, wage freezes, and rising food and energy bills has created a nightmare scenario for many families that's pushing them to breaking point."
Councillor Val Slater, executive member for housing at Bradford Council, said she was concerned about the survey's findings.
She said: "This is quite worrying, particularly about people throwing bills away without opening them.
"I really would encourage people to open bills and not be frightened but to go and talk to their landlord or mortgage provider and see what arrangements can be made. Very often steps can be taken that can help people out in a difficult period."
Anyone needing advice can call Shelter on 0808 800 4444.

The San Jose Earthquakes open their 2014 training camp Jan. 26 and have scheduled five exhibitions in February against Major League Soccer teams.
San Jose will spend a week in Tucson, Ariz., and another week in Portland, Ore., playing all but one of its games at those locales.
The Quakes will face the Los Angeles Galaxy on Feb. 15 at Chukchansi Park in Fresno.
During a seven-day trip to Tucson, San Jose is scheduled to play the Seattle Sounders on Feb. 5 and the Houston Dynamo on Feb. 8. The games will be shown on a livestream at MLSsoccer.com.
The Quakes also will participate in the Rose City Invitational in Portland. San Jose will face the Portland Timbers on Feb. 23, the Vancouver Whitecaps on Feb. 26 and Jamaica's Portmore United FC on March 1. The games will be shown via livestream at www.sjearthquakes.com.
The Quakes play four games in 12 days to start the season. They open the MLS regular season March 15 against Real Salt Lake at Buck Shaw Stadium.

San Jose travels to Toluca on March 19 before a road game against MLS Cup champion Sporting Kansas City on March 22.
The San Jose Giants announced their 2014 coaching staff with Lenn Sakata returning as manager. Sakata, 59, was San Jose's manager during the 1999, 2001 and 2004-07 seasons. He enters the 2014 season as the winningest manager in California League history with 684 victories.
Sakata managed the Chiba Lotte Marines in Japan from 2008-09 before joining the Colorado Rockies organization. He was the hitting coach for the Single-A Asheville Tourists in 2011 before spending the past two seasons as manager of the Single-A Cal League's Modesto Nuts.
Cal senior Brandon Hagy shot an even-par 72 to move up six spots into a tie for 10th halfway through the Australian Master of the Amateurs at Royal Melbourne Golf Club at 1-over 145. Hagy trails leader Simon Viitakangas (70) by five shots. Hagy's round included an eagle on the par-5 fourth hole.
Horse racing

how do you design a eCommerce store
I was trying to make my site like a store but using affiliate marketing links from cj.com.My page is about inexpensive domain registration, domain names, and registering website. http://network.modawg36.com/
I need examples of how to design my website.
Most E-Commerce sites are using a premade "CMS" that specializes in e-Commerce. They are most likely using a template that was premade but edited to their liking. I think the best route for you would be to do just this. Install a CMS e-Commerce script and edit a premade template to your liking.
yes, if you have no experience in making e-commerce sites, the best way would be to use a e-commerce template with some e-ecommerce plugins. For example you could use wordpress with woocommerce, or some other combination.
wordpress is great for developing the ecommerce web site development. You should use ecommerce template with some ecommerce plugins this would be nice experience for you to design the site.
Good evening.Another way is the installation of Joomla CMS with virtuemart component.
VirtueMart is not so good anymore, it's not even compatibility with Joomla 3.0, try some other component like is HikaShop.
Woocommerce for WordPress is a great and easy plugin for making a webshop and it's free
I designed a website for my friend few day ago. I bought word-press theme for eCommerce website because there many plugin available. You should try and you can check eCommerce theme. <snip>
Better to use a ready made platform if you new to coding. So Try one of the following ;1) Woocommerce with wordpress2) Opencart 3) OsCommerce
If you are good with coding.. Then you can get hold of a front end design and code accordingly with plugins..
Just as a left-field suggestion (though it may not apply to affiliate links so much), how about using Facebook as your ecommerce store? It's easier than having to setup/customise a CMS and depending on your target audience, it obviously is more geared to attracting 'social' traffic.
When coupled with something like:http://new.soldsie.com/
The cart/payment aspects work pretty much like an ecommerce store.
HTH - just another idea.
As it's been over a month and the OP has yet to return, I think we can safely close this thread.
Thanks to all who contributed.


text: This news item expired on Wednesday, December 31, 2014 so the information below could be outdated or incorrect. We know that you are enthusiastic recyclers and we appreciate that! But every now and then, we all need a few reminders. Recycling is available to all residents in Buncombe County and in all of its cities and towns. You can recycle at the curb or drop off recyclables at one of the following locations: Buncombe County Landfill, 85 Panther Branch Road, Alexander - 250-5462; Buncombe County Transfer Station, 191 Hominy Creek Road, Asheville - 250-6205; Curbside Management Recycling Facility, 116 N. Woodfin Avenue, Woodfin - 252-2532. If you recycle at the curb using blue bags, place all of your recyclables loose into the bag, tie it shut, and place it next to your trash can. Remember – only recyclables go into the blue bags! Here's where we need your help. Please don't put blue bags inside your trash can or cart. One of the biggest challenges facing the men and women working hard every day to pick up garbage and recycling at your curb is keeping the recycling separate so it goes into the correct truck. When blue bags are thrown into the trash can, their work is even harder. Sometimes these blue bags are full of trash, and other times they're full of recyclables. The person collecting your trash has to stop and figure out what to do with the blue bag, slowing down the route and probably resulting in recyclables going into the trash truck. So, the next time you take your items to the curb, keep that blue bag outside of the trash can and place it on the ground next to the can. When you are filling your blue bag or preparing recyclables to be delivered to the drop-off centers, follow these simple guidelines: Empty all bottles, cans, and containers – lids and labels may remain on. Containers don't need to be squeaky clean; just get most of the contents scraped out or emptied. Break down and flatten all corrugated cardboard. Corrugated cardboard can be placed inside your blue bag, if it fits, or underneath the blue bag at the curb, if it is larger. Only clean cardboard is accepted, so if grease soaked through or cheese stuck to a pizza box, put that into the trash. Secure the lid on the container or tie the blue bag shut to prevent paper from blowing out. Keep kitty litter out of the blue bags. Bag kitty litter in used plastic bags or kitchen trash bags and place it into the trash. We can't recycle kitty litter and it can contaminate the other recyclables. We can all make recycling easier and more successful when we do our part. If you have questions about recycling, or if an item can be recycled, call Solid Waste at 250-5460.

Has anyone particpated in a clinical trial of RealBuild? My mom just started the trial. Is is a protein that is already found in all cells of the body and it takes part in the production of proteins. It has been shown to stimulate the production of platelets.
The platelet counts often drop dramtically when chemo is given. Lowered platelets can lead to bleeding and infection.

Stevens, Pa. -- Luxury consumers picked up their pace of shopping in the third quarter, with luxury spending up 25.8% over last quarter, according to Unity Marketing's Luxury Tracking Survey. "The first half of 2012 showed affluent consumers restrained in spending on luxury goods and services, but spending rebounded strongly in the third quarter survey with signs pointing to rising demand during the critical fourth quarter," said Pam Danziger, president of Unity Marketing.
Over half (52%) of affluent consumer surveyed feel they are financially better off today than twelve months ago; this measure hasn't been this high since first quarter 2011.
"Rising even more sharply is the percentage of luxury consumers who feel the country as a whole is doing better now as compared with three months ago," Danziger said. "Some 37% of affluent surveyed feel the country is now moving in the right direction, up 15 percentage points from last quarter."
Unity Marketing is optimistic about prospects for the fourth quarter especially for retailers that attract affluent consumers, including both the upper-middle income HENRYS (high earners not rich yet with incomes $100,000 to $249,999) and the luxury-leaning ultra-affluents (top 2%, incomes $250,000 and above).
"These affluent consumers are the economy's 'heavy-lifters,' accounting for only 20% of U.S. households, but over 40% of all consumer spending," Danziger said. "They drive the consumer economy overall and are the primary customers for retailers like Nordstrom, Bloomingdales, Saks Fifth Avenue and Neiman Marcus and luxury brands such as Ralph Lauren, Coach, Louis Vuitton, Calvin Klein, Michael Kors and Tiffany."

"Perhaps all pleasure is only relief."
-- William S. Burroughs
Few things are more seductive in trading than trying to catch a bounce after we have suffered a particularly nasty breakdown. It is human nature to look for some relief after suffering pain, and the longer the pain continues the more confident we become that something positive will soon occur.
The recent breakdown has been much more severe than anything the market has seen in a while. Not only have we broken through a number of key support levels but we finished near the lows of the day for six straight days. It is often said that we tend to close weak in a bear market, which has certainly been the case lately, although we still are not technically in a formal bear market.
Sooner or later markets that are stretched this much to the downside will snap back as traders self-fulfill a bounce. Typically, they look for someone else to start the move, and once they manage to hold things in positive territory, the buyers start to pile in and the bounce is on.
One of the reasons that so many traders are anxious to play a bounce within a downtrend is that these moves are often quite substantial and come quickly. The biggest bounces almost always occur within downtrends because market players are not well-positioned for them and there is so much anxiety about joining in once we start. No one wants to be left out when a bounce finally kicks in.
If you want to play a bounce, the best advice I can give us to wait for some positive action to hold. The pattern lately is that the overanxious bounce buyers create some early strength that is used by bears and "stuckholders" as a means to escape long positions. Once we roll over and start making new intraday lows, more sell stops are triggered and the downside momentum builds.
What we have to watch for is a change in the pattern. We need some higher highs, which will force shorts to cover and longs to gain confidence. After we hold in positive territory for a while, then more longs will start to inch in and a bounce can build some steam.
If you do play a bounce, keep stops very tight, and, above all else, treat the move as a bounce and not a bottom. Playing counter-trend moves can make for some good trading, but it drives me crazy when the overanxious bulls treat any little bounce as a major bottom. Don't even think about a bottom until this market has proven itself for more than a few days. The great likelihood is that we have not seen the lows yet and that a bounce is just a way to suck in some new victims to feed the market beast.
The biggest obstacle to a major market turn at this point is that we just aren't going to have much clarity until this fiscal cliff issue is resolved to some degree and that is not going to happen until the deadline nears. In addition, Europe is struggling more and more, and the solutions to the problems are become less and less certain.
We are definitely due for some sort of relief bounce soon but, as we have seen, the market can continue to downtrend much longer than seems reasonable. If you are going to play the bounce game, make sure you manage that risk very tightly, and don't forget to lock in some gains pretty fast if and when you have them.
More money is lost trying to catch a market bottom than anything else, but people will never stop trying to do it. If you maintain the right mind-set about it and use some rigid money management, you can handle it, but stay very cognizant of the danger involved and don't hesitate to take your losses if things go badly.
We have some minor early strength once again, which has not been a good indicator lately, but the anxiety to catch a bounce keeps on growing.

News Flashes
Researchers from the Colorado Centre for Reproductive Medicine examined embryos from mice that had been fed a high-protein diet, which can affect the levels of ammonium in the female reproductive tract. Ammonium reportedly affects the H19 gene on chromosome 7, important to growth. They found that this kind of diet affected the ability of embryos to implant. Only one-third of the mice on a high-protein diet developed with a normal H19 gene, as opposed to 70% in the control group. Of those embryos that did implant among the high-protein diet group, 84% developed further; in the control group, the rate of successful growth was 99%. The researchers concluded that a high-protein diet is not advisable while trying to conceive.

Physiological Second-Stage Labor
The rhombus of Michaelis - a kite-shaped area at the lower spine that includes the sacrum and three lower lumbar vertebrae - moves back as much as 2 centimeters as second stage labor begins. This diamond-shaped "bump" appears to rise on the lower back and moves, visible especially if the laboring woman is kneeling or on all fours. Not visible are the wings of the ilia fanning outward, increasing internal dimension of the pelvic cavity. The backward movement of the rhombus of Michaelis and fanning of the ilia are thought to occur because the back of the baby's head contacts a nerve plexus where the bladder and urethra join.
The following spontaneous actions then occur: the mother reaches upward for something stable to grasp; her body sags forward and knees roll out; her back arches and she begins to wriggle her lower body; the uterus contracts and forces the baby downward (a series of actions very similar to those during orgasm).
The woman must be in the following position for the movement of the rhombus to occur: her weight is "in front of her ischial tuberosities, with the angle between her spine and her thighs at least 120 degrees (i.e., the distance between her hips and her head is less than the distance between her knees and her head)."
A reclining position for birth places the baby too deep into the back of the pelvic floor, causing the need to push - a concept unheard of in old midwifery textbooks. The rounded back caused by bringing the knees up brings the spine and symphisis pubis so close that baby's shoulders are far more likely to be stuck at the brim.
"If a baby is lined up properly and his mother keeps her knees down, half an hour is normally plenty for a first baby and ten minutes for a subsequent one."
— Paraphrased and quoted from "Birth without active pushing," by Jean Sutton, in Midwifery: Best Practice, Sara Wickham, editor
Similarly, if a baby is in the occipito-posterior position (OP) with head rotated to transverse and right shoulder on the pelvic brim and left shoulder on the opposite side of his mother's spine, the baby has difficulty moving his shoulder past mother's sacrum because his spine rather than his soft arms is toward his mother's back. This is the source of very painful "back labor." His position causes the stimulation of the nerves at the back of the pelvis rather than those at the front. The "fetal ejection reflex" is not triggered, and the extra space normally provided by the movement of the rhombus is not afforded. Mother must get on her feet or knees with her weight in front of them in order to flex her pelvis and move the baby. A combination of maternal mobility and an anthropoid pelvis facilitates dramatic resolution. However, a gynecoid pelvis may reduce the chances of rotation, and an android pelvis (narrows toward the outlet) affords no space in which the baby can rotate.
— Paraphrased from "Occipito-posterior positioning and some ideas about how to change it!," by Jean Sutton, in Midwifery: Best Practice, Sara Wickham, editor
ORDER "Midwifery: Best Practice"—An outstanding book that every midwife/birth practitioner should own!
During the powerful and irresistible contractions of an authentic ejection reflex there is no room for voluntary movements.... A typical fetus ejection reflex is easy to recognize. It can be preceded by a sudden and transitory fear expressed in an irrational way ("kill me," "let me die," etc.). In such a situation the worst attitude would be to reassure with words. This short and transitory expression of fear can be interpreted as a good sign of a spectacular increase of hormonal release, including adrenaline. It should be immediately followed by a series of irresistible contractions. During the powerful last contractions the mother-to-be seems to be suddenly full of energy, with the need to grasp something. The maternal body has a sudden tendency to be upright. For example, if the woman was previously on hands and knees, her chest tends to be vertical. Other women stand up to give birth, more often than not leaning on the edge of a piece of furniture. A fetus ejection reflex is usually associated with a bending-forward posture. When a woman is bending, the mechanism of the opening of the vulva is different from what it is in other positions. The risk of dangerous tears is eliminated. After a typical ejection reflex, the placenta is often separated within some minutes.
These considerations about ejection reflex versus "second stage" are opportunities to suggest that the true role of the midwife is to protect an environment that makes the ejection reflex possible. The point is to reconcile the need for privacy and the need to feel secure. This means the importance of the midwife as a mother figure. A mother is first a protective person. Furthermore, one does not feel observed and judged by one's mother.
— Excerpted from "Insights into Pushing: The Second Stage as a Disruption of the Fetus Ejection Reflex," by Michel Odent, Midwifery Today Issue 55
The more births I attend, the more I realize how much I disturb the birthing woman. Disturbing often comes disguised in the form of "helping." Asking the mother questions, constant verbal coaching, side conversations in the room, clicking cameras - there are so many ways to draw the mother from her ancient brain trance (necessary for a smooth expulsion of the baby) into the present-time world (using the neocortex, which interferes with smooth birth). This interaction must be avoided.

Forum Talk
What is your policy with a mom who has no idea of when her last menstrual period was? I know as midwives you would not be overly focused on dates, but it's always in the back of your mind as you're watching things, right?

Question of the Week
Q: I am 36 years old and the mother of an 11-month-old boy. I was induced twice for his birth because I was late by two weeks, and he was born by c-section. I think I have conceived again. Will the baby and I be okay? Is it too soon after a cesarean to be pregnant again? Might I have any complications (problems)? At times I have backaches.

Question of the Week Responses
Q: I have attended nearly 100 births as a doula/midwife's assistant. Until recently I had never seen an episiotomy, even in teaching hospitals with severe OB/GYNs. My most recent birth was attended by the most natural-minded hospital-based CNM practice in our city (we have no birth center and no CNMs with OB/GYNs). I refer many of my clients to them knowing they are pretty much on the "same page" as my philosophy supporting evidence-based practice. After almost four hours of pushing, the mom was becoming exhausted. She was too tired to push in any other position but on her back, at about 30 degrees. She refused to push on her side because she had back pain. It was quite some time before baby remained visible on her perineum. The midwife (who I greatly respect) eventually stated that she had the type of perineum that "episiotomies were meant for" (she said this mom's was long). She told the client she was going to cut a small episiotomy and then proceeded to cut a 2-centimeter midline episiotomy and promised the baby would come on the next push. She did so without consent, and before I could say the entire phrase "Could she sit up more?" (the baby was showing some distress, but I assume it was because of the mom's flat position). When is it truly OK to do an episiotomy? As a future midwife, how will I know when to go ahead and cut? I am not sure I could do it. How about you homebirth midwives out there? Ever have to cut one? I would like to know some rules/guidelines, because everything I have researched has told me they should rarely be needed. I am still healing from mine more than 16 years ago!
— Brigitte Rhody, student RN, Bradley Method childbirth educator and labor assistant
A: I am a student midwife who recently gave birth at home with a midwife and had an episiotomy. I had been pushing very hard for 2-1/2 hours. The baby's heart rate began to drop during contractions and was getting slower to recover. On the final 2 contractions before the episiotomy and subsequent birth, we lost heart tones altogether during the contraction. My midwife cut a small episiotomy and pulled the baby out. The baby was healthy, pink and breathing well at birth. At first I was very upset to have this unexpected thing happen to me. I did not expect to get an episiotomy at my homebirth. However, after much reflection I realized that I could have delivered the baby on my own in maybe two more contractions but by then, we may have had a floppy baby who needed resuscitation. I would much rather endure the pain of episiotomy over endangering the life of my baby.
Remember that intervention does not always equal a negative. When it is necessary, that is what it was created for. Incidentally, the problem was found at birth that the baby's head was in an OT position or turned looking over her right shoulder. I do think, however, that conditions such as these are very rare and that most homebirth midwives will probably never encounter a situation in which an episiotomy is necessary. During my training, I was ordered to cut two different episiotomies that I do not believe were necessary. In any case, when to cut is not an easy question to answer but I would suggest that you will know when it is needed.
— Anon.
A: I think I have cut six episiotomies in my life (650+ births). Two were while I was in school because they made me learn how to do them on real women. One was because there was unusual bleeding and I was concerned that the woman was abrupting. One was a direct OP presentation on a primip, and the baby was showing signs of severe distress. Two were on the same woman (babies number 4 and 5, her only two with me) who had an unbelievably stretchy perineum. The baby was literally out to its ears and the opening was only 50-cent sized. She *begged* me to cut, and I made 1-cm cuts each time, which allowed the baby to come. I've never done an episiotomy without asking permission.

Regarding breastfeeding an adoptive baby [Issue 6:16]:
A: There is a "new optimism" regarding "induced lactation." A woman who has previously breastfed biological children has a better chance of being able to nurse an adopted child. Some breast preparation may be helpful; see the protocols available online at www.asklenore.info.
— Kate Adams, RNC, IBCLC, MSN
If the woman has breastfed four children she will be able to breastfeed an adopted baby! Put the baby to the breast, and she/he will do the rest. If mom doesn't have enough milk right away, she can use a lactaid. Her local La Leche League (LLL) branch will be able to give her information and support.
The younger the baby is, the easier it will be.
— Christina Hurst-Prager, London and Zurich
A: The best thing you can do for her is let her know that this, indeed, can be done. Even women who have never given birth are capable of inducing lactation, although the degree of success varies.
The next thing to do is to refer her to an experienced LLL leader and/or a qualified lactation consultant. You might want to speak with the Area Professional Liaison for referrals to experienced LLL leaders in her vicinity. Many excellent resources and books are available, and there are several options as to how to proceed. This mom needs individualized, ongoing support. For example, she may or may not need to pump, initial and subsequent feeding options will depend on how the baby responds to direct breastfeeding, and so on.
None of us knows everything, nor does any one of us have to. Educate yourself, but know when to hand off to those with more experience.
— Gabrielle Wright, CNM, IBCLC, APL for LLL of NY-East
A: I loved breastfeeding my first three and thought I knew it all. HA! My fourth was born at home, then hospitalized for severe weight loss and dehydration at ten days old. Turns out he had a UTI and was too weak to nurse. After treatment he refused to nurse because he associated my breasts with starvation. However, I was successfully able to pump and supply him with milk for 2-1/2 months until a La Leche League leader helped me get him back to the breast. I've advised other mothers since then because I was able to establish a milk supply of 100+ ounces per day (my midwife laughed hysterically when she heard that!) by the time my son went back to the breast at three months old. My goal was to freeze enough to stop pumping at six months and have breastmilk for him until he was a year, hence the outrageous supply. Following are some things I found helpful for establishing a milk supply:
Tips for getting the older baby to the breast:
Because my son would literally freak out when I attempted to put him to breast, I didn't think he'd ever nurse. The cold turkey method was my last-ditch effort. By the time we were 22 hours in he was so desperate to suck he took my breast, sucked twice, stiffened to scream, got milk and settled in for a feeding. He was three months old. Fourteen months later he's still nursing. Also, breastmilk will keep in a deep freeze for months. Freeze it flat in zip lock freezer bags to store them easier. Also, let it thaw in the fridge, warm it in water (no microwave) and *don't shake the milk*. Shaking breaks up the strands of fatty acid chains. It still has positive properties, just not quite the same.
If your baby never takes to the breast and you can give her breastmilk from a bottle, know that you are doing the very best you possibly can. Every bit of breastmilk helps her development.
Regarding extended pushing [Issues 6:15 and 6:16]:
A: I was recently at a birth like this. I wonder, did that mom have such a hard time letting go and pushing that she eventually chose to go to the hospital to get away from her midwives who were "watching her and judging her" (mom's words)? Different from the previous story, however, our mom didn't dilate to 10 cm as she wasn't checked until two hours into pushing and was 9 cm and undilated during the 12 hour pushing time to 7 and then 6 and finally to 4 cm upon admission to the hospital, but pushing the whole time. This was a VBAC mom. I have several questions: Why do homebirth midwives sometimes think homebirth is the end-all, be-all, the outcome worth striving for? Why can't it just be about the mom's (and baby's) journey? She was an amazing laborer. Why can't we just leave it at that and not make her feel guilty or ourselves feel guilty if she doesn't have a homebirth? Did these midwives resist transport because of perceived repercussions from the medical world, and if so, what is that doing to this mom and baby? And with these long push stages, isn't there something else going on besides the physical? Have other midwives seen something else shift in moms too?
— Anon.
A: I recently had a first-time mom deliver at home. She had an approx. 30-hour labor. We (the other midwife and I) felt her perineum just "give way" even before the head was completely crowned. The baby did have her posterior hand up by her head. After the placenta was delivered, which was close to one hour later, she began to hemorrhage. Herbs were administered as well as a lot of massaging. The baby nursed on both sides, but mom continued to have a slow trickle of blood that would not stop. As soon as we stopped massaging she would start bleeding again, and even while massaging it would never completely stop. We ended up transporting, and they gave her Pitocin and two units of blood. Even then her uterus still did not stay clamped down.
Has anyone ever had experience with a mother tearing at the point this woman did, and could it be diet and exercise related? Any ideas why this would have happened and what can be done to prevent it next time? Her tear ended up being a fourth-degree tear.

Regarding Pitocin/active management [Issue 6:14]:
I am an RN. I had the experience of observing the birth of my daughter's baby May 2003. I encourage all who have anything to do with birthing to do your Internet research. Birthing today is a very serious matter. Natural birth can be done and should be. But this is controlled by the protocol set up. So do your search in every avenue of birth. You will find position at birth is very important. I have read that one-third of the birth canal is compromised when flat on your back or in a sitting position that is customary in today's controlled birthing. After the experience of my daughter's birth I was amazed at how birthing in hospitals takes control. My daughter wanted to go natural with no drugs. She wanted no cutting of the cord because of its necessary benefits. Yes, please do your homework. You will find the truth.

What is a larvicide?
A larvicide is a chemical that is used to kill mosquitoes when they are in the larval, or immature, stage of the life cycle. Mosquito larvae are immature mosquitoes that live in water before maturing into flying adults. Their growth rate depends largely on water temperature and can be as little as 7-10 days in warm weather.
Where do I use larvicides?
Larviciding involves the application of approved pesticides to aquatic habitats where mosquito larvae thrive:
- Ornamental ponds (with no fish)
- Non-chlorinated swimming pools
- Pool covers that collect water
- Low lying areas that maintain stagnant water for more than one week
- Marshy areas fully within homeowners' property lines
- Rainwater cisterns
- Catch basins
- Roadside ditches
When do I use larvicides?
Larvicides should be used when mosquitoes are breeding. Since mosquitoes don't breed in the winter in the Northern Virginia area, larvicides should be used from the spring (April - May) through the fall (October).
What kind of larvicides can I use around my home?
Bacillus thuringiensis var. israelensis (Bti) is a
biological pesticide that is a naturally occurring bacteria found in soil
throughout the world. Bti is used for mosquito larval control in a
broad range of freshwater and salt marsh habitats. No special licensing
or certification by the DEP is needed if these products are used on a
homeowner's own property.
There are only a few Bti products available to homeowners through hardware stores or nursery and garden centers. Bti is specific for aquatic flies (such as mosquitoes) and is less harmful to the environment than most insecticides and larvicides.
Methoprene is an insect growth regulator that interferes with the normal
life cycle of an insect and prevents it from reaching maturity and
reproducing by mimicking an insect growth hormone. Therefore, methoprene
prevents the development of adult mosquitoes from larvae. Methoprene is
used in aquatic areas to control mosquitoes and several types of flies,
moths, beetles, and fleas. Methoprene is sold in retail and specialty pet
Are larvicides safe to use?
Biological pesticides such as Bti are very specific to mosquito,
black fly and midge larvae and are not known to affect human health. Due
to the very low toxicity of methoprene and low potential for human
exposure methoprene does not present a health threat.

I'm a Daddy's girl, always have been. And at 31 it's pretty safe to say I always will be. So I can appreciate, to a certain degree, the task that Holly Gilliam is undertaking for her father. She has taken it upon herself to archive every scribble, sketch and note that Terry Gilliam ever wrote and kept. Terry is one of the founding members of Monty Python, is the director of such films as Time Bandits (1981), 12 Monkeys(1995), and The Imaginarium of Doctor Parnassus(2009), and even attempted to adapt Alan Moore's Watchmen comics into films in the 80s and 90s to no avail.
This article has been reproduced in a new format and may be missing content or contain faulty links. Contact firstname.lastname@example.com to report an issue.
In "Discovering Dad" aka delving into Terry Gilliam's personal archive, she cannot resist posting bits and pieces that she finds along the way. In Holly's words: "I have been lucky enough to be surrounded by my father's amazing work all my life and I think it should be seen by everyone." I agree! So far she has posted original sketches from Time Bandits, rough storyboards from The Imaginarium of Doctor Parnassus and just this past week, original scripts from Monty Python circa 1969 to 1974.
You can get updates on Holly's progress by following her on Twitter @hollydubois. If you have ever wanted a glimpse into the inner workings of a truly original and creative mind, then this is the place for you. Just take a look at this interview from 1982 with Terry Gilliam talking Time Bandits on the third episode of Letterman (note: not for little ears).

In response to: City retirees get '13th check' bonus
It would be appropriate for the recipients of this money and their employees associations to remember President Kennedy's words, "It is not what your country can do for you but what can you do for your country." What could those $5 million plus do for our streets, parks, library hours, etc. And how can we justify that the realized investment is better-than-expected when the whole pension funding system is upside down? I applaud former City Attorney Mike Aguirre for being the only one with the courage to speak up against this pension regulations that are sinking our fine city. Hello Detroit!

In response to: Former Filner aide seeks $1.5 million
Irene McCormack Jackson is a courageous woman for coming forword and revealing the twisted and depraved behavior she endured while working as a staffer with ex-Mayor Bob Filner. I support her quest to punish and get compensated from the man that put her through hell, but I'm sick that she's suing San Diego taxpayers.
I would like to remind Irene and her attorney, life is full of choices that shape our future, choose wisely now and have respect and admiration of a city with a future you could name, or choose poorly and have a city that may think you are no better then Bob Filner, one who preys on the innocent and takes advantage of the system.
