But Flyers coach John Stevens was furious after the game because Roy was the fifth skater during a 4-on-4. Replays clearly showed the Sabres already had four players on the ice when Roy hopped over the boards and skated to the Flyers' blue line.'

Elias emerging as contender for starting rotation
PEORIA, Ariz. -- The Mariners' search for rotation candidates has added a new name with the emergence of Roenis Elias, a 25-year-old left-hander who will start Sunday's 1:05 p.m. PT Cactus League game against the Angels in Tempe.
Elias, who defected from Cuba in 2010, was a Southern League All-Star for Double-A Jackson last season when he went 6-11 with a 3.18 ERA and struck out 121 batters in 130 innings.
The youngster has quietly impressed the Mariners with his performance this spring and is 2-0 with a 1.23 ERA over 7 1/3 innings over three relief appearances, including three scoreless frames against the Angels on Tuesday.
"He's a left-hander who is 91-94 [mph on his fastball], he throws strikes, has quality stuff, he competes, holds runners," said manager Lloyd McClendon. "It's been interesting."
The Mariners originally had veteran Scott Baker slated to start Sunday, but will instead have him go in a Minor League game in Peoria. McClendon said that is to avoid having Baker face the division-rival Angels three times in four Cactus League starts.
But clearly the club wants to see what Elias can do with the opportunity, and the youngster is eager as well.
"I'm very excited to have the chance to pitch again," Elias said while using teammate Erasmo Ramirez as an interpreter. "I'm just trying to do my best because I'm fighting for a spot. I'm just looking for a chance."
Elias defected from Cuba on a boat with 26 others on Oct. 26, 2010 with only a backpack and a hope for a better life, landing in Cancun, Mexico, and spending a year pitching for a pro team in Monterrey, Mexico.
He was signed by a Mariners scout after a tryout in 2011, and pitched 11 games in the low Minors that year before going 11-6 with a 3.76 ERA in 26 starts with Class A High Desert in 2012 and then advancing to Jackson last season.
The Mariners invited him to Major League camp this spring along with a group of other non-roster youngsters, most of whom are now back in the Minor League camp. Sitting alone at his locker in a corner of the Mariners clubhouse, now largely vacated by prospects who've been cut over the recent days, Elias appreciates his situation.
"I prayed for the chance to come to Major League camp and get an opportunity," he said. "Now that I'm here, my goal is to show whatever I've got and give 100 percent in the game and show them I can pitch here."
McClendon said Elias will be given a chance to pitch about five innings or 75 pitches against the Angels. And, yes, the Mariners are looking at him as a rotation option either in Seattle or Triple-A Tacoma as things play out over the next few weeks.
"I'm sure he could pitch out of the bullpen," McClendon said. "As we speak right now, I see him as a starter."

The user interface for Windows 8 blurs the line between tablet, desktop, and smartphone. That's a good thing.
The Microsoft Build conference starts October 30. For a week developers will be exposed to the latest Windows technologies, analysts will write megabytes of blogs, pundits will tweet reactions both pro and con, and the way we experience computers will change in dramatic and obvious ways.
For developers and users alike, the Windows 8 interface is an in-your-face change. No longer based around overlapping windows and desktops, information and applications are now presented as colored tiles. It is possible to slip back into the traditional Windows interface where each running application is visually separated with windows that can be dragged on top of each other, hidden, and closed; but most of the time the new Windows looks, and functions, very much like a well-designed webpage.
Opinions are harsh. Windows traditionalists miss familiar icons such as the Start menu, Control Panel, File Explorer, and Close button, and are finding the years they spent deciphering the nuances of utilities to now be irrelevant and useless. Worse, users stumble into the traditional Windows interface, but have no idea how to return to the new tiled interface, and developers find creating applications now requires new ways of programming, use of new interfaces, and new ways of thinking about interacting with users. What was Microsoft thinking?
DOS to Windows, windows to tiles, desktop to phone
In 2011, computer vendors shipped more smartphones than desktop computers further supporting the idea that handheld devices—such as smartphones and tablets—are pushing desktop and laptop computers into obsolescence. Apple and Android are battling for first place, with Microsoft scrambling for a piece of the action. Dell, the king of laptop manufacturers, has lost almost half of its value in eight months. The future is painfully clear, and it looks like a handheld device, or smaller.
Microsoft correctly reasons that making improvements to an interface that depends on a keyboard and mouse is corporate suicide, but what about our former Windows Vista user futilely searching for the Windows Start button? Is there nothing to be done for them?
Short answer: The pain is only temporary.
Long answer: We've done this before. New interfaces, like apps or tiles, are simply normal innovation. They're disruptive, sometimes annoying, and the first iteration is often clumsy, but the process is normal, expected, and necessary.
lynda.com is working on a collection of classes for developers and users of Windows 8. In the early part of 2013, you can expect to see courses that show how to get started with the Windows 8 developer tools, as well as more in-depth training intended to assist with advanced developer questions.
Nobody on Star Trek uses a mouse
Science fiction explores a possible future, and most science fiction computers don't use keyboards or mice; they use gestures and voice recognition. Our grandchildren will think our computers are quaint.
Personally, I have enough years under my belt to remember the jump from CPM, to DOS, to Windows 3, and the jump from my beloved Apple IIe to Macintosh OS X. Each was a move away from a known paradigm to something better. Everything changed for the traditionalists invested in the existing technology, and boy, did they complain.
But the number of people using the new tools soon outweighed the traditionalists. New users with curiosity about how the system does work, rather than assumptions about how the system should work took over.
Here's to a lifetime of learning!

The New York Jets fired general manager Mike Tannenbaum after a 6-10 season, but owner Woody Johnson said Rex Ryan will be back for a fifth season as coach.
"I believe that he has the passion, talent, and drive to successfully lead our team," Johnson said of Ryan in a statement.
Ryan's scheduled news conference Monday was postponed amid speculation that there could be several changes on the coaching staff. Offensive coordinator Tony Sparano is expected to be fired after one season, although no moves were immediately made by Johnson after a staff meeting.
"My goal every year is to build a team that wins consistently," Johnson said. "This year, we failed to achieve that goal."
Tannenbaum had been with the organization since 1997. In a statement, he thanked Johnson for "the opportunity of a lifetime."
Titans: Mike Munchak will be back as coach, but chief operating officer Mike Reinfeldt is out. Munchak announced owner Bud Adams' decision at his news conference. "He felt that move (firing the coach) right now wasn't the right move to make so hopefully I'll prove him right," Munchak said. … The Titans signed wide receiver Diondre Borel (Freedom High-Oakley) to a reserve/future contract.
Jaguars: Jacksonville fired G.M. Gene Smith after four disappointing seasons. Coach Mike Mularkey could be next. Owner Shad Khan is waiting to decide Mularkey's fate until he hires a new G.M., which could happen this week.
Cardinals: President Michael Bidwill wasted no time in identifying possible replacements for fired coach Ken Whisenhunt, saying the team had reached out to Andy Reid. Bidwill also received permission to interview Denver offensive coordinator Mike McCoy. Bidwill said Cardinals defensive coordinator Ray Horton is a candidate. Bidwill said tight ends coach Freddie Kitchens was the only offensive assistant not fired. No defensive coaches were dismissed.
Bills: Coach Chan Gailey and his entire staff were fired, but the status of G.M. Buddy Nix remained uncertain. Among the assistants was defensive coordinator Dave Wannstedt.
Redskins: Coach Mike Shanahan doesn't want his assistants, including his son, interviewing for head coaching jobs while the team is in the playoffs. Coordinator Kyle Shanahan designed an imaginative offense featuring rookie Robert Griffin III.
Vikings: Antoine Winfield's status for Saturday's rematch against Green Bay is in question, after the cornerback aggravated his broken right hand Sunday.
Seattle: The Seahawks placed cornerback Walter Thurmond (hamstring) on injured reserve, opening a roster spot for the addition of cornerback Brandon Browner, who is eligible to return after serving a four-game suspension for banned substances.
Etc.: The NFL Players Association's claim of collusion by league owners was rejected by U.S. District Judge David Doty, who has previously sided with the players.

Skimming computer records in a dairy can give us a rough idea on the reproduction outcome just by looking at some average numbers. Unfortunately, average numbers are often times misleading when tracking specific fertility parameters that can be masked by other effects (season, breeding code, times bred, etc.). Likewise, average days dry, which may have tremendous impact on a series of metabolic events happening around calving, can have different interpretations depending on how deep we look and how we want to correlate them to fertility.
When looking at computer records during my regular reproductive troubleshooting for Accelerated Genetics' customers, I always like to verify the distribution of days dry. It is interesting to see the variation in length of dry periods among dairies. However, we should not worry too much about the final average. Instead we should look at their distribution (i.e. < 30, 30-45, 45-60, > 60 days dry) by lactation number. Then correlate this information with postpartum problems (proportion of displaced abomasum, retained placenta, milk fever, ketosis, metritis, conception at first A.I., etc).
For instance, we recently found a very strong relationship between days dry and milk fever in one of the dairies that we assist with reproductive evaluations through our ReproConnections program. We could not see this trend in regular postpartum health reports. Thus, in this article I'm going to explore the relationship among dry period length, feed intake, and some fertility parameters after calving.
There are very few randomized studies that tried to evaluate the effects of different dry period lengths on postpartum fertility. Gumen et al., 2005 used intensive ultrasound examinations and blood sampling to evaluate fertility of cows randomized and divided into one of three dry period groups:
- Traditional dry period ~ 56 days
- Shortened dry period ~ 28 days
- No planned dry period
They found that dry period length affected days to first postpartum ovulation and average days open, as illustrated in Figures 1 and 2. These advantages for the no planned dry period group may be explained by an earlier peak of FSH in this group, which in turn was consequence of a positive energy balance because of higher dry matter intake, compared to the other 2 treatments (check original article for more details and other results.)
Unfortunately, the limited number of experimental units in this research study does not allow us to draw final conclusions regarding conception rate results; however, this data gives us some insights that the length of dry period can definitely affect reproductive parameters.
Although short dry periods seem to be a promising strategy, most research indicates that short dry periods might reduce milk production in the new lactation, particularly in primiparous cows (Annen et al., 2004). Another research group (Gillund et al., 2001), using data from several dairy herds, studied the association of different body condition scores (BCS) near calving, the proportion of cows presenting ketosis, and some fertility parameters. These authors found that cows with BCS > 3.5 were nearly three times more likely to present postpartum ketosis than cows with lower BCS.
As evidenced in other studies, Gillund et al., 2001 also supported the concept that this is probably the result of lower dry matter intake (DMI) in animals with higher BCS near calving. In agreement with that, previous studies found that cows with greater BCS near calving have lower DMI and lost more body weight after calving than thinner cows (Garnsworthy and Topps, 1982).
Gillund et al. also found that cows presenting ketosis lost more weight after calving and ultimately had lower conception at first breeding and longer calving to conception intervals. Therefore, it is always recommendable to follow BCS throughout lactation. In fact, monitoring BCS throughout lactation is a very effective tool to measure body condition loss after calving, as shown in the Figure 3, below.
Several research groups have studied this topic in the last decade. In general, they found that shorter dry periods tend to reduce problems related with negative energy balance (NEB), but lower milk production might be a concern when using short days dry (30 to 35 days) in primiparous cows.
Pezeshki et al., 2007 evaluated the effects of different days dry on milk production, milk composition, and energy balance of dairy cows. They used three dry period lengths 56 days, 42 days, and 35 days. Their data confirmed previous reports describing that cows in the short dry period had less problems with NEB. However, primiparous cows receiving the shorter dry period of 35 days produced less milk in the new lactation, in agreement with previous research (Annen et al., 2004).
Pezeshki's et al. data also argue that multiparous cows and cows with higher body condition scores (BCS) might benefit from shorter dry periods. Therefore, most of the research articles seem to recommend a 40 to 45 days dry for multiparous cows and 60 days for primiparous cows.
Less diet and pen changes around calving becomes one of the most important benefits of shorter dry periods. It is widely known that frequent diet changes may lead to lower DMI (Grummer and Rastani, 2004), and that cows with lower DMI near calving are more likely to have uterine problems after calving (Huzzey et al., 2007).
Huzzey et al., 2007 studied the relationship between feed and water intakes close to calving time and metritis rate in the postpartum period. These researchers used electronic equipment to measure feed and water intakes and cattle behavior in a group of 101 confined cows. All cows were evaluated from two weeks before calving until four weeks after calving.
Uterine infections were identified by inserting the arm with a palpation glove into the vagina, and uterine discharge was classified from 1 to 4. Rectal temperature was also checked in all cows. Therefore, cows were classified with severe metritis if uterine discharge was equal to 4 and temperature > 39.5°C. Cows classified as healthy presented clear mucus (score 1) and no fever. Cows with mild metritis presented intermediate parameters (please check original article for further details).
Results from this study indicated that cows with severe and mild metritis had lower milk production during the experimental period. However, the most interesting finding was that feed and water intakes were strongly related with metritis after calving. It was clear that animals with either severe or mild metritis had lower feed and water intakes – even before calving!
They also observed that the cow's behavior was associated with metritis. In other words, cows with uterine infections were less dominant than healthy cows. It seems that one of the most effective ways to avoid postpartum problems (metritis, retained placenta, etc.) is by ensuring high DMI in the transition period. Thus, dairy producers should implement some management strategies to increase feed intakes and lower postpartum diseases, such as:
- Keep first calving heifers separated from older cows in the pre- and postpartum pens.
- Maximize feed and water intakes in the pre- and post-partum. Keep food and water available at all times!
- Avoid overstocking in the dry and close-up pens. For instance, divide the number of cows in the pen by the feed bunk space and pen area; avoid less than 30 inches of feed bunk space per cow, (i.e. Picture 1). Keep at least 30 square feet of bedded pack per cow.
- In general, keep body condition scores at around 3.0 to 3.5 – no more or less than that.
- Avoid changing cows to different pens around calving. Newly introduced cows will drop their feed intake until its hierarchy is established in the new pen.
- Improve cow comfort as much as possible during dry period. Avoid heat stress and improve bedding condition. Calving area must be clean, dry and well ventilated, like in Picture 2.
- 7Set up a consistent SOP for health checks in the early postpartum.

Clocking in at nine minutes and more a short movie/political commentary than a music video, M.I.A.'s "Born Free" is a barely-veiled jab at the American military. Sonically, it's a major departure from her previous jangly, eclectically-influenced work–in fact, the opening sequence sounds like the old Army commercials featuring Godsmack. M.I.A. is less sing-songy, more poetic in her distorted, fuzzy voiceover. And while the video's over-the-top nudity and violence is absolutely uncomfortable to watch, I can't help but think how it awesome it will be to hit the pavement for a long run while listening to this track. Girl knows how to get herself back in the headlines, that's for sure. Check out the video at your own risk!

STOCKTON (AP) -- Student journalists at a Central Valley high school are getting a lesson in the First Amendment after administrators confiscated their newspaper over concerns about a campus safety article.
The principal of Stockton's Bear Creek High School, Shirley McNichols, stopped distribution of 1,700 copies of the monthly Bruin Voice newspaper last week, saying a front-page article about allegedly outdated safety policies could panic students.
Editor-in-Chief Justine Change and adviser Kathi Duffel said that the principal was embarrassed about what the article exposed.
McNichols denied that.
The article quoted school administrators as saying that recent lockdown drills and two reports of weapons on campus revealed poor communication.

A LEADING Worcestershire health boss has said "very significant progress" has been made on plans to reshape hospital services in the county.
Speaking at a meeting of Worcestershire Acute Hospitals NHS Trust's governing board today, Wyre Forest Clinical Commissioning Group's (CCG) chief officer Simon Hairsnape said the long-running project to revamp care at Worcestershire Royal Hospital, Kidderminster Hospital and Redditch's Alexandra Hospital was gathering steam.
"People have been getting on and doing what they need to do," he said.
"We're not quite there as of today but we're very nearly there.
"All of this work comes together in the next few weeks."
He said it was hoped the plan's clinical model would be signed off next week before going before an NHS England assurance board at the end of July, where it was hoped it would be given the go-ahead to launch a public consultation.
Earlier this year an independent report into the plans was presented, making a number of recommendations including centralising consultant-led maternity services in Worcester while setting up a midwife-led birth centre in Redditch and taking the most seriously injured or unwell patients to the Royal.
Transport arrangements between the Royal and the north of the county will also be reviewed as part of the plans.
Although progress has been made, Mr Hairsnape said a significant amount of work remained to be done and it was hoped the 12-week consultation would be launched in September in time for the plan to be fully approved in December.
"We expect and hope to be given the go-ahead to go out," he said.
"There's lots of water to flow under quite a few bridges yet.
"It's a tough set of hurdles to jump over.
"We are in uncharted territory here."
The trust's deputy chief executive Chris Tidman said: "The amount of time clinicians have spent on this has been huge," while chairman Harry Turner said he was pleased by the amount of progress that had been made.
"We know it's been a difficult couple of years but the board is fully committed to supporting the CCGs," he said. "We are fully behind this because we obviously think it the right thing for patients."

So, when Redding expresses halftime displeasure in a passionate locker room speech during the Colts' 27-23 win over Tennessee on Sunday at Lucas Oil Stadium, teammates listen.
And when Redding says afterward that this improbable season has an otherworldly aspect to it, you hear him out.
"It's a unique year, man, it's a unique year," Redding said. "I've been saying all along God's got his hand on this team for a reason. He's doing things, putting stuff in people's lives and challenging them and seeing how they respond."
This is tricky territory, this idea that God has a stake in sports teams' seasons, a debate better left to theologians than football players and sportswriters. But Redding's follow-up point captures the season without question.
"We've been hit with a lot of adversity with this team, starting with our head coach, and nobody wavered," Redding said. "Everybody keeps the faith and keeps working and as long as we do that, we'll be very successful. I don't know what it is. I can't figure it out. But I'm enjoying the benefits."
Maybe it's best not to try to figure it out. Colts fans should just enjoy the ride. Well, enjoy it as much as possible.
There remain times when cringing is the fallback reaction, such as when Andrew Luck tries to throw a pass while being sacked in his own territory with nothing but defensive players in front of him. That's a first-year mistake, if it's your first year in high school.
Luck's knee looked down before the football came out of his hand and Will Witherspoon took it back for a pick-six. Replays seemed to show his knee was down. The officials saw otherwise.
Luck said he probably deserved the pick six for such a bad decision. He's right.
As usual, he bounced back and made plays when necessary in the second half. The Colts trailed 20-7 and looked out of sync in the first half. So, naturally, Luck directed an 80-yard scoring drive, passed Peyton Manning's team record for yardage in a rookie season and got the Colts back in the game.
More unexplainable events followed, including Cassius Vaughn celebrating an interception return touchdown. Vaughn's good at celebrating, even when he has nothing to do with a play. This time, it was justified. He jumped the route, picked off Jake Locker's pass and put the Colts up 21-20.
It's magic. Or something.
I asked Vaughn how he knows when to jump a route like that. After all, if Vaughn miscalculates and Nate Washington catches it, who knows how far Washington runs?
"You don't (know)," Vaughn said. "You can watch all the film and all kinds of stuff (but) it's more of an instinct to go do something different."
The Colts are doing something different, something that remains unexplainable.
With the Pittsburgh Steelers and the Cincinnati Bengals both losing, the Colts moved two games up for the first AFC wildcard spot. Nothing's guaranteed, of course, since three games remain (at Houston, at Kansas City and home vs. Houston). Lose all three and there may be no playoffs.
Indy moved to 8-1 in games decided by one score. Luck moved past Manning and closer to Carolina's Cam Newton for most passing yardage by a rookie. Newton's record is 4,051. Luck has 3,792.
"I'm glad we got the win," Luck said. "Again, I don't think I deserve to look back doing anything. It would be dishonest to my teammates and I have to keep focus. I guess it's good to get records. Good records, not interception records."
For the record, Luck has 18 touchdowns and 18 interceptions.
He also has Adam Vinatieri, who booted 53- and 40-yard field goals in the fourth quarter for the points needed to pull out the win. Luck also has the chutzpah, and the blessing of interim coach Bruce Arians, to complete a clutch pass to Dwayne Allen to run out the clock at the end.
The Colts' win Sunday was also helped by Reggie Wayne (now 10th on the NFL's pass-reception list), Vick Ballard (94 hard-earned rushing yards), Darius Butler (late-game interception) and Vontae Davis (multiple plays of quality defensive back coverage).
Then there's the indefinable, the intangible Pagano effect.
Pagano has completed his final round of chemotherapy and appears to be on schedule to rejoin the team if a playoff run materializes. The Colts released a photo of Pagano talking with patients from Riley Children Hospital at the game. He looked as good as he has since taking his medical leave.
"Everything we do is about Chuck, and having him back on the sidelines going to the playoffs," Redding said. "That's our mindset."
That's what the big guy says. It's hard to argue.

The Minnesota Department of Health has been investigating the cases since Sunday when health care providers in Austin and Albert Lea reported a sharp increase in patients with bloody diarrhea, one of the tell-tale symptoms of E. coli 0157 infection.
Investigators quickly discovered that the patients had another experience in common. They had all eaten at a Taco John's restaurant in Albert Lea or Austin sometime between November 30th and December 2nd.
Health department spokesman Doug Schultz says a second set of tests will be required to confirm the E. coli outbreak, and determine whether it's linked to an outbreak in Iowa that sickened three dozen people who ate at a Taco John's in Cedar Falls. "The most certain link that we could have would be if the cases in Minnesota have a matching genetic fingerprint with cases in Iowa. Then we know that there's definitely something going on and that we need to look at where that organism came from."
Those test results are expected Wednesday. A Taco John's spokesman tells the Associated Press, the restaurants are working with distributors to check their products and the origin of those products. There's no evidence at this point that the Iowa and Minnesota case are linked to an outbreak of E. coli on the East Coast linked to Taco Bell restaurants.
In the meantime, Schultz says both restaurants have discarded their entire food supply and are serving new ingredients. The Department of Agriculture is also inspecting the restaurants to see if they can find the source of the contamination. But Schultz says locating the source could be difficult.
"With these situations usually there is a bolus of cases that occur during a very tight time frame. The product then is used up and moved out of the restaurant and unless you have continued distribution of product that's contaminated, usually you don't see any more cases after a certain time period. That's what we would expect to see in this case."
There's not a lot information yet on the conditions of most of the sick patients. But the health department says one older patient does have a serious complication called hemolytic uremic syndrome, which can cause kidney failure.

Let the wilderness serve for your seat and bed!
From fear; and in the fearless, released.
In places where frightening serpents abide,
Lightning clashes and the rain-god thunders,
In the blinding darkness of the deepest night,
There he sits — the monk who's vanquished his dread.
Let the wilderness serve for your seat and bed!
Go about set free from the ties that bind.
But if, perchance, you don't find there your bliss, then
Live in a group — but watch over yourself:
Mindful, proceeding for alms from house to house,
Mindful, with guarded faculties — and wise.

People asked again why the venerable Maha Kassapa, at his age, wishes to live in forests and mountains. Does he not like monasteries such as the Veluvana Vihara and others?
"These regions are delightful to my heart
When the Kareri creeper spreads its flower wreaths,
When sound the trumpet-calls of elephants.
These rocky heights delight my heart. (1062)
These rocks with hue of dark-blue clouds
Where streams are flowing, cool and crystal-clear,
With glow-worms covered (shining bright),
These rocky heights delight my heart. (1063)
Like towering peaks of dark-blue clouds,
Like splendid edifices are these rocks,
Where the birds' sweet voices fill the air,
These rocky heights delight my heart. (1064)
With glades refreshed by (cooling) rain,
Resounding with the calls of crested birds,
The cliffs resorted to by seers,
These rocky heights delight my heart. (1065)

Here is enough for me, a monk determined,
Who seeks to dwell in the highest goal's attainment.[17] (1066)
Here is enough for me who, resolute,

Here is enough for me who is on effort bent,

Like autumn sky with dark-blue clouds,

Wide gorges are there where clear water flows,
Haunted by monkeys and by deer,
With mossy carpets covered, moist,
These rocky heights delight my heart. (1700)

Can gladden me so much
As when, with mind collected well,
Right insight into Dhamma dawns. (1071)"

Gum Diseases
Gum graph day 5
i went to my dentist yesterday complaining of a bad smell and swelling on one side of the roof of my mouth after gum graph surgury 4 day prior. i also am now experiencing a white/yellow color by the new gum graph sight and redness along with white small like pimples above the gum sight. the dentist said this is all normal and just to stop looking at it or as he put it "playing with it". do i have an infection? i am very worred now. i have read so many other stories about gum graphs on line and i think it might have not taken. i am going asap to the dental office tomarrow, but i need to know if the white/yellow stuff is suppose to fall off or what? there is a string hanging by my tooth on one side. i remember him saying the graph will turn red then yellow then pink. is this right? i noticed the smell on day 4. what is going on?? is the donnor sight suppose to be puffy on day 5? i am still taking 4 advil a day because of the discomfort? is that normal?
Puffy structure is normal and will continue for a while.
He is right; the color change will be red (inflammation during first days), then the top layer will become white (depends on the thickness of the tissue). I am thinking that you had what we call "free gingival graft," which carries the epithelial layer together with connective tissue, and the epithelial layer goes into necrosis after couple of days. A little bad smell is normal, but terrible bad odor is not a good sign. Your experience with pain should gradually diminish. Every day you should feel better and reduce pain killers.
Your periodontist is correct. You generally pull your lips when you try to look at the wound and you may pull the sutures and dislocate the graft, especially during early days. This will destroy newly forming vessels underneath the graft and cause failure. Thus, we generally ask the patient not to play with it.

Blondie re-record Sunday Girl for CBGB film
Blondie were so thrilled to be part of new movie Cbgb they offered up a new recording of their hit tune Sunday Girl for the soundtrack. The new film about the iconic New York punk mecca features 65 tracks in total from acts like Talking Heads, Iggy Pop and the Velvet Underground, but music supervisor Brad Rosenberger was particularly thrilled when Debbie Harry and her bandmates agreed to help out.
He says, "We've been talking to them for a while because they're important to the film and I was talking to their manager and told him what we were looking for. And he said, 'The band actually just went in and did this (re-recording) – would you be interested in it?' We listened to it and I thought it worked great. It's amazing (that) 40 years later, you would never know that was a new recording."
Unfortunately, not everyone felt the same way about offering up tunes for the soundtrack – the existing members of The Ramones refused to get involved.
Rosenberg adds, "We showed the band or representation the film, and for whatever reason, they couldn't seem to go for it… There was no animosity. I personally thought it was a lost opportunity."
Instead, Rosenberg had to select a Joey Ramone solo track for the film.

For nearly 60 years, suspicion has been cast on dairy products because they contain saturated fat.
It started in 1953, when a researcher named Ancel Keys identified saturated fat as a major health concern. Using data from seven countries, he reported a relationship between fat and deaths from coronary heart disease. On Jan. 13, 1961, Keys was featured on the cover of TIME magazine.
Despite criticism from other scientists, the "fat-cholesterol" hypothesis took hold. It became conventional wisdom that eating saturated fat produces high blood cholesterol, which in turn causes heart disease.
Now, after years of getting a bad name because they contain saturated fat, animal products may finally be vindicated.
Emerging research indicates that dairy fat isn't harmful to heart health and may in fact be beneficial, points out registered dietitian Karen Giles-Smith in an article that ran on the Today's Dietitian web site. To read the article, click here.
At the Cornell Nutrition Conference last week in Syracuse, N.Y., dairy scientist Dale Bauman noted the Today's Dietitian article, saying it would help in the effort to put dairy fats in the proper light.
It won't happen overnight, he said, "because we've had 50 years for this message (demonizing saturated fats in animal products) to become ingrained."
Bauman said the events that occurred over the past 50-plus years, going back to Keys study, created a "perfect storm" that people are now starting to emerge from.

Fresh produce suppliers to the foodservice industry generally report positive sales trends as the U.S. slowly emerges from the recession.
The National Restaurant Association's Restaurant Performance Index — a monthly composite index that tracks the health of the U.S. restaurant industry — hit a 10-month high in April, the latest period for which results were available.
The index stood at 101, up slightly from March. April represented the third time in the past four months that the RPI topped the 100 level, the association said, which "signifies expansion in the index of key industry indicators."
Technomic Inc., a Chicago-based research and consulting firm, forecast 3.8% growth in the restaurant industry for the remainder of the year and anticipates even better growth in 2014.
"We're seeing growth in the foodservice sector across the board in our commodities and our value-added products," said Gina Nucci, director of healthy culinary innovation for Mann Packing Co. Inc., Salinas, Calif.
"There's a little bit more disposable income," she said. "People are still eating out."
Summer only helps improve sales, as consumers head to the beach and take off on vacations, she said.
Just in time for the warm weather, Mann Packing has expanded acreage and developed a new logo for its Better Burger Leaf, which the company launched last summer.
"We've had a lot of success rolling that out," Nucci said.
Foodservice business also continues to grow at Church Bros. LLC in Salinas, said Ernst Van Eeghen, director of marketing and product development.
"We're breaking volume records pretty much every month," he said.
Up to 75% of the company's business is foodservice.
The Church Bros. product line includes salad blends, spinach, spring mix, iceberg, romaine, broccoli, cauliflower, cilantro, parsley and kale.
Van Eeghen expects foodservice sales growth to continue.
"I think the category will open up a little bit," he said.
Business "continues to grow at a dramatic rate" for West Pak Avocado Inc., Murrieta, Calif., said Dan Acevedo, director of business development.
He attributes the growth to more restaurants adding avocados to their menus, particularly as add-ons or with burgers.
Lemon business also is "great and growing" at Limoneira Co., Santa Paula, Calif., said John Chamberlain, director of marketing.
Some of the growth is because the company began selling direct to foodservice operators two years ago.
"Our volume has been increasing because we're able to get more accounts," he said.
"Our business is substantially up," said Verne Lusby, president of FreshPoint Southern California, Industry, Calif.
"Same store sales are growing, not dramatically, but we went through five years of straight decline," he said.
The company's main products include greens, tomatoes, potatoes and onions, but the firm also distributes a number of specialty items that are cropping up in more restaurants as a result of "cross-cultural and infused menus."
"Even some of the casual dining restaurants that used to be pretty much meat and potatoes now have spring rolls or some kind of Asian (offering) on the menu," Lusby said.
Much of the growth in foodservice business is from restaurants that are doing new things with traditional core items, like kale, brussels sprouts, green onions, beets and parsley, said Mike O'Leary, vice president of sales and marketing for the fresh-cut division of Boskovich Farms Inc., Oxnard, Calif.

NAPLES, Fla. — University of Florida tomato breeders are working to develop varieties that can be mechanically harvested, helping growers address labor costs and availability.
Although breeder Sam Hutton, who's based at the Gulf Coast Research and Education Center, Wimauma, is excited about prototypes, he said researchers are at least a few years away from releasing commercial varieties.
He updated the industry on breeding efforts at the Joint Tomato Conference, Sept. 4, in Naples.
For growers such as Tony DiMare, vice president of Homestead-based DiMare Fresh Inc., these varieties can't come soon enough.
"The biggest concerns we have and why we are looking at mechanization is the current labor situation and the lack thereof," he said. "And that obviously carries a heavy cost, direct costs and indirect costs, such as workers comp, transportation and a whole slew. It's become a labor supply concern more so than the direct costs of labor."
The average cost to plant, grow and harvest an acre of fresh-market tomatoes in Florida is $15,000, said Monica Ozores-Hampton, an assistant professor and vegetable specialist at the Southwest Florida Research and Education Center, Immokalee. Of that, about 55% is just for labor, which includes staking, tying and pruning plants, and harvesting.
In Florida, tomatoes are grown on plastic-covered beds into which wooden or metal stakes have been driven. During the growing season, workers create trellises of string between the stakes and train the plants up, pruning them when necessary.
After harvest, workers must remove the stakes before the field can be prepared for the next crop. In the Homestead area, growers rely on metal stakes, which are even more difficult to remove than wooden ones used elsewhere, DiMare said.
Hutton is working to develop low-growing fresh-market tomato varieties, which set fruit that ripens during a short window. The bush-like plants wouldn't require staking or training, either.
In California, processing tomato growers rely exclusively on machines to harvest their crop.
But crossing those varieties with fresh-market ones suited to Florida isn't practical because the two types are so different, Hutton said.
"The difference is they're picking red tomatoes — we're going after mature greens," he said. "They're growing plums and we're growing large-fruited tomatoes. There's a major distinction. It's much more difficult to work with a large fruited tomato than a plum."
Breeders want a tomato with a jointless pedicel, meaning the fruit separates cleanly from the plant without a stem attached that could puncture other fruit going up a harvester conveyor.
Varieties also have to produce good yields and have good flavor.
Hutton said he thought he had some contenders last season after two trials produced promising results. But last season's wet, cold weather promoted rough-looking, misshapen fruit that would not have been unmarketable.
"I can't underscore the difficulty of working with this type of tomato," Hutton said. "It was really discouraging coming out of this spring's trials."
But the tough conditions also yielded some other promising prototypes that warrant additional trials, he said.
The breeding effort is being funded by a U.S. Department of Agriculture Specialty Crop Research Initiative grant that runs through the 2014-15 season. In addition to Hutton, Bielinski Santos, an assistant horticulture professor, and tomato breeder Jay Scott are involved in the project.

Hey Blue why dont you all tell us how much a better QB Gabbert is than Luck?
would love to hear this story
Counting down the days untill DJ Augustin's contract expires.
Counting down the days untill DJ Augustin's contract expires.
I am gonna watch Darius Butler, we don't know what to expect out of him, he was a former first round pick so he has talent in him, hopefully Cassius Vaughn plays well, he has decently lately
This is a harder match up than a lot of you give it credit for. Thursday night away game against a divisional opponent who has always given us close games? Don't fall prey to all of the Luck love on ESPN(although it's quite awesome to get recognition!!!). I will be ecstatic if the Colts win this game, but I think it's a lot closer to be a toss up.
Still, I say we win it 27-23. Because I'm a fanboy.
I think the Colts are going to blow them out to be honest. I'm saying 34 - 10 Colts
I'm still way to afraid to have any kind of confidence in a win.
Thanks to the encouragement of a few other posters I'm back...
Simply you can't remove the Jones-Drew factor of 4.8 yards rushing a game and replace it with Jennings at 3.1 without it having a major impact. JAGS are reeling and Mathis is going to put enough pressure on Gabbert to keep the head off the Colts secondary.
Colts 20 - Jags 10...
You know how hippos are made out to be sweet and silly, like big cows, but are actually extremely dangerous and can kill you with stunning brutality? The Pacers are the NBA's hippos....Matt Moore CBS Sports....
Blindly hating a guy that's so far guided this team to 5 wins, and has been nothing but a class act so far and making us exciting again is just silly. Take that hate towards Brady and the Patriots.....and if you must hate Irsay, he cut Peyton, not Luck.....
Super Bowl XLI Champions
2000 Eastern Conference Champions
I see no reason to hate Irsay either. He's been nothing short of awesome for this club. There isn't another owner I'd rather have.
Don't ask Marvin Harrison what he did during the bye week. "Batman never told where the Bat Cave is," he explained.
2nd round, but ya.
There are two types of quarterbacks in the league: Those whom over time, the league figures out ... and those who figure out the league.
I think the Colts should really try to control the time of possession. Our offense is too much for their defense, but they we need to control the game, so they can't much time of possession
Smothered Chicken!
first game for Luck seeing an opponent twice. wonder how big a difference it'll make.
We got an FG
But Gabbert only seems to show up against us.
There's no excuse if they lose this game( I doubt that will happen) especially when MoJo"Colts Killer" Drew is out.
I think that's the first time I've ever seen Scobee miss against the Colts.
Wow Scobee missed...
Oh he only makes those long FGs at our house.
He's missed before I believe he missed in our last matchup

Sometimes it's good to know who's calling before you answer. And our Caller ID lets you keep track of who's on the other end of the line.
Hands-free mode uses a built-in loudspeaker to amplify the voice of the caller, allowing you to speak and listen during a call without holding the phone to your ear. This is especially useful if you want to share the call with others or simply multitask.
The rear of the handset is treated with a special texture for added comfort and better grip.
Our optimised antenna layout ensures strong and stable reception, even in areas of the house where cordless transmission is difficult. Now you can take a call wherever you are in the house, and enjoy a long, uninterrupted conversation even as you walk around.
Our telephones use parametric equalisation in the digital sound processing to fine tune the sound response back to the intended linear frequency response curve, delivering sound that is pure and clear, for each conversation.
Now calling the people you care about most is easier than ever. With simple one-touch dialling, you will never have to search for their number again. You can programme up to 2 keys for instant calling.
We test the sound quality of our DECT phones the same way as high-end headphone manufacturers do. Using an advanced ear simulator, we can accurately re-create the way people actually hear. This helps our acoustic engineers to measure and fine-tune things like frequency response, distortion and overall hearing perception, to create perfect voice reproduction for both handset and hands-free modes.
Philips phones are energy efficient and designed to be respectful to the environment. The level of radiation emitted is reduced by up to 95% when the phone is charging. With ECO+ mode activation the radiation drops to zero.
Value your privacy and quiet time at home? Black List restricts specific numbers or those starting with certain digits, protecting you from receiving unwanted calls. You can choose to block up to 4 sets of numbers. Each set can consist of 1 to 24 digits. If the number of an incoming call starts with any of these number sets or are the exact numbers that you choose to block, your phone will not ring. With Call Barring, you can avoid the surprise of expensive phone bills by blocking calls from specific numbers starting with certain digits (for example, pay per call numbers).

The World Bank Group released the latest edition of its Women, Business and the Law report, which underscores the legal barriers that limit women's earning capacity in more than 173 countries.
The report found that legal gender differences are widespread: 155 of the 173 economies covered have at least one law impeding women's economic opportunities. For example, in the Russian Federation, occupational gender segregation is widespread, where women are restricted from holding particular jobs and are encouraged to concentrate in the health care, education and light industries. This resulted in high gender earnings differential as women are confined to lower-paying sectors and activities.

Indigenous people around the world share a commonality—they have paid a price for being the original inhabitants of their countries.
With the onset of colonization this cycle of oppression continues until today. Whether through expansionism or migration, the original inhabitants of the lands we inhabit have suffered and in some instances have been wiped off the face of the earth.
At a recent forum on the plight of the Lumads at Miriam College in the Philippines, I had the chance to hear and talk to a peace advocate from the Lumad indigenous group.

Vietnam will have to play Malaysia in the first leg of the ASEAN Football Federation (AFF) Suzuki Cup semi-finals in Kuala Lumpur tomorrow without several of the team's best players.
Showdown: Vietnamese players are training hard for the AFF Suzuki Cup's semi-final first leg match against Malaysia tomorrow.
Coach Henrique Calisto's favourite Nguyen Trong Hoang has been suspended after being given a red card in the game against Singapore last Wednesday.
Meanwhile, halfback Huynh Thanh Quang suffered an ankle injury in the match against Singapore and will not be fit for the semi-finals in Kuala Lumpur, but will be there to cheer on his teammates.
Viet Cuong, whom the Portuguese coach applauded for playing on against Singapore despite being injured, has still to fully recover. It is not yet known who will take his place tomorrow.
Meanwhile, teammate Phan Van Tai Em is suffering from a knee injury and was unable to train on Sunday.
"The match will be very difficult for Vietnam. Every team in the competition wants to beat us," Calisto said.
"But I know Malaysia is in the same situation. They are under heavy pressure to win at home, while some of their players are injured."
Despite the importance of the competition, the Malaysian players will only be awarded a paltry US$1,600 each if they win the tournament, whereas the Vietnamese team stand to receive VND7 billion ($350,000) for defending their crown.
Instead of a financial incentive, the Malaysian officials at the Football Association head office have hung signs that read: "Nothing is impossible, you can do it" and "To be champion, you must beat the champion."
Prior to the start of the tournament Malaysia were not expected to advance to the knock out stages because they'd been drawn in the same pool as Thailand and Indonesia.
However, Malaysia went through after Indonesia beat a very disappointing Thai side.
"It was a great achievement to make it through to the semis, but to lift the cup would be a magnificent triumph," said Datuk Ahmad Shabery Cheek, the Malaysian Minister of Youth and Sports.
Midfielder S Kunalan said Malaysia had every chance of making it into the final for the first time.
"Malaysia have played four semi-final matches but lost all of them. This time after a successful group stage we will do our very best for a berth in the final," Kunalan said.
The midfielder said his team had carefully studied Vietnam's game and would concentrate on the team's weaknesses.
"The central area will be very tense. But when we 'lock' onto the Vietnamese midfielders we will be able to control them. It will not be easy but we are confident and have the players to get through," he said.
While Vietnam have been training hard for the match, Malaysia have been taking it easy. They had only five training days together and played just one friendly ahead of the tournament.
That said, Malaysia defeated Vietnam 1-0 in the final of the 25th SEA Games last December.
"As the defending champions Vietnam will be under a lot of pressure. On the contrary, Malaysia have nothing to lose, so we are not afraid – particularly as we beat them in the SEA Games last year," Malaysia team's coach, Rajagobal said.
Malaysia will be without eight members of last year's SEA Games team, but Rajagobal said home advantage would offset that set-back.
The other semi-final between Indonesia and the Philippines will be played on Thursday and Sunday at the Geloga Bung Karno Stadium in Jarkata.

When someone looks at me, they might be tempted to assume that my relationship with my barber is a cordial one. This, however, would be a great error in assumption. I have not always harbored such ambivalent feelings towards my barber, but things have changed.
I am certain that the most thankful people ought to be those who consider themselves outdoorsmen and outdoorswomen. We are the folks who get to enjoy riches that go far beyond our ability to pay for. We get to play in the backyard of God. And even though most property is claimed by an individual or entity; it is really all owned by its Creator. His handiwork is seen in every mountain and valley. He fills each hollow with animals, plants, and trees, not by chance, but according to His divine purpose.
Responding on health care
I can not resist responding to the "Reform health care now" letter of the Nov. 26. The dear lady is absolutely on track. Our European brothers and especially the French should set the stage for our reform! I wonder while we are at it why not revamp our entire Government and pattern it upon a European model.
Health care reform certainly has a ring to it.
I know there's a perception that media folks are always critical of everything. But I hope it's not so.
And I have had folks in Levy express disdain for folks who move here for its wonderful atmosphere, or any of a variety of reasons, then promptly turn around and want to change it into wherever they came from. It's a valid complaint.
But I realized recently how wholeheartedly I have come to embrace Levy County when I cringed at the responses of two job applicants to the question: What do you know about Levy County?
The Christmas season is upon us.
The Christmas lights are up in Chiefland.
A radio station is playing Christmas music.
A local store is having a "Christmas Sale 40% to 50% off"
I don't care if if it's a discounted holiday or merchandise.
I'm a sucker for stuff at a nice discount.
My wish list is the same as last year's. I want that "Five-Pound Box of Money" singer Pearl Bailey rhapsodizes. She tells Santa it would be useful and is loaded with lots of sentiment.
You have probably noticed the changes at the Chiefland Citizen.
First, two new guys moved in. We went from having a newsroom dominated by women to a boys' club.
There has been tinkering with the design and content to make it more interesting and useful. One noticeable change is the teasers at the top of Page 1.
Then there's the electronic changes at the website, www.chieflandcitizen.com; the Twitter feed, News4Levy; the Facebook page, Chiefland Citizen; and the email blast for those who register at our website.
Once again the community of Chiefland has stepped up to provide a service for our children. Through the efforts of Chiefland Area Athletic Association' volunteers and the businesses of Chiefland, our annual Halloween Carnival was a huge success. CAAA started the Halloween Carnival 11 years ago to offer parents and the community an alternative to door-to-door Trick or Treating. Chief Douglas ensures that our carnival is a safe place by assigning city policemen to monitor the area.
The Town of Bronson would like to thank the men and women of American Legion Post 236 of Levy County for their help in honoring our veterans by placing flags on grave sites in all the towns cemeteries, and on display outside of Old Town Hall, to honor those still serving.
Thank you to: Post Commander Dwight Fields, Auxiliary President Judy Fields, Diana Folks, Historian Edward Gonczarow, Dan Hartley, Alexis Gaddy, Steve Gaddy, Christine H. Haney and Leo E. Sapp. Jr.
Kelli Brettel
Town Clerk, Bronson
I recently wrote our Senator Bill Nelson urging him to be bold and brave and stand up for the American people and reject the current government plan for the takeover of the health care industry. I was really surprised to get an answer, but not really surprised to find out how little notice is paid to his constituents. I guess that his minion picked the wrong letter out of his junk mail answers. Anyway, since he said not to reply to his response, I thought I would share my reply with you.
So you have your driver's license. May I first say congratulations on your efforts and achievements. Now that you have possession of the little piece of plastic, however, do you know what to do with it? Probably not. This is a frequent problem among beginning drivers, which is why I have taken the time to write out a few helpful tips on how to lose your license.
I am a life long Republican. I am a retired senior citizen. I, like countless others are inundated with solicitations through the mail and phone from the RNC, specific Congressmen and Senators. They all want monetary support and would like me to fill out a survey in which the brain dead could respond. So, I thought I would send an e-mail to the New York Times and my home papers with hopes that someone from the RNC would take notice.
Thank you to Steve Waters for the update each week on Chiefland High School graduate Jarret Johnson's career with the Baltimore Ravens.
It is nice for the people in this area to keep up with his progress. Not many athletes make it to this level and it is an inspiration to our young people that they can do this even from our small schools.
Thank you,
Beth Davis
Thanks so much to the entire community of Bronson and surrounding areas for making the First Ever Bronson Pumpkin Festival a huge success. We had over 1,500 folks come through the gates to enjoy a great family-oriented festival. Not too bad for our inaugural event.
Special thanks for all Bronson Chamber Members and the staff from the Town of Bronson for working tirelessly to make this festival a success. Also to all the volunteers, vendors and carnival rides that were a huge part of the festival.
My wife & I arrived here last Thursday and are also one of the many tourists who realize the natural beauty you have in this area.
I am sure your paper has addressed the problem before of the littering that is done by some inconsiderate individuals, but was wondering if any of your editors had ever written an open letter directed to the individuals that litter and asked them to respond with their reasons for ignoring the many requests,and also for their excuses for littering?
I walk my daily mile walk in the mornings and usually fill a large bag every 24 hours.
While most of us are flabbergasted at what is happening with the big Wall Street firms taking risks, enriching themselves and gorging at the government trough, we should remember this isn't the first time folks felt like the money changers deserved a good flogging.
TheStreet.com rates 98 percent of Florida's banks as not so healthy.
An Oct. 14 article on TheStreet said of 293 banks and thrifts still existing in the state, only seven had recommended ratings. It's important to note that TheStreet.com is respected for its conservative bank rankings.
Some time ago while mowing a vacant lot on the south east side of Chiefland I observed a brown medium sized dog chained up under some trees next door.
After looking closer I realized this animal had no shelter from the weather.
I contacted the Humane Society of Levy County who informed me they had no responsibility for the City of Chiefland. I then contacted the appropriate people in Chiefland who informed me there was no requirement for the shelter of animals.
It is that time of year again when Harmony does what it does best … help people in need. We want to ensure that everyone has a special holiday season and in order to do that we need your help. Harmony is asking for your donations for people less fortunate than us. This is a GREAT time to de-clutter your homes and help a lot of people in return. What a great way to end the year by helping others.
The family of Matt Cravey would like to take this opportunity to thank the citizens in the tri-county area for their show of support this past weekend. The benefit BBQ was a huge success with over $16,000 raised from contributions. The benefit BBQ was established by a cross section of wonderful community members and businesses in the tri-county and we are grateful for the unselfish, generous giving of your time.
Hey Ya'll – Is there anything that can be done to help improve our local economy? This is a question for everyone – you, me prospective businessmen, county commissioners, the state, county and private landowners. Well, let's all take our imaginations off the leash here for a few moments and ask ourselves some hypothetical questions. What ain't been tried yet?
Why do so many young people think the only way to be happy is to be high? When I was young I was happy just to be finished with my chores. It was a simpler life; I looked forward to my favorite fishing hole. If I played football with my friends, or tinkered with my car or getting up the nerve to ask a girl to a movie that was the kind of "Mayberry" stuff it took to make my day, the kind of things it took to complete my interest.

Bra-Fitting for Guys (and Gals)
Can we clear up the confusion?….let's bust a few myths.
It's so prevalent that it's even published!
Please understand, that's not how cup-sizing works.
A D-cup on a size 30″ band bra is tiny compared to a D-cup on a size 38″ band bra.
It would be like comparing plums to cantaloupes….. which represents a D-cup?
(See the great photo of a line of bras – ALL are D-cups – ranging from size 30-38)
And that "DD" that popular culture makes out to be an outrageous va-va-voom
size, is actually very average. We carry brands and styles that have cup-sizes much, much
further along in the alphabet. : )
(See diagram of how band and cup sizes interplay to fit all the different sizes women)
You may wonder how we females don't know our bra size!
Here are some reasons a woman doesn't know her bra size:
– weight -gain, -loss, pregnancy, nursing, menopause all affect bra size and affect each woman differently;
– she never learned how a bra is really supposed to fit;
– Mom never told her the ins and outs of bra-sizing because she didn't know either;
– the store didn't carry a small enough band or a big enough cup …… so she made-do with what was available;
– manufacturers use different scales to assign cup size (see chart of comparable cup sizes by country);
– SO many advertisements out there display bras fitting improperly;
(For example: the photo of the woman wearing the leopard print bra below….. that is not a good fit)
– advertisements are airbrushed to smooth underarm tissue that fluffs a bit when the proper band size is worn.
(see photo where the underarm tissue was NOT airbrushed out! – whoops, they forgot!)
So, check out that woman you care about….
Is the band of her bra riding up her back? (it should be parallel to the ground)
Is she always adjusting her bra? Or complaining?
These are the most obvious signs she's wearing the wrong size or her bra is way past its life expectancy.
Do her a favor and suggest she visit City Drawers, escort her to our shop, or present her with a gift certificate.
We'd love to help.

Category: Angelina Jolie twins
This blog is adapted from our most recent book, Beyond Ava & Aiden: The Enlightened Guide to Naming Your Baby
Twins offer a rare opportunity for parents to choose two related names at the same time, but also multiply the potential difficulties of sibling naming. With twins, it can be more tempting to use rhyme, sound play, and same initial names, but in our opinion pairings like Eddie and Teddy, Faith and Charity, or Nicholas and Nicole should be relegated to a time capsule.
While same-initial names that are clearly distinct from each other – Garrett and Grace, say, or Susannah and Simone – are okay, different-initial names are consistent in style and tone are preferable.
Some celebrity examples that work: Brad and Angelia's Knox and Vivienne, Julia Roberts' Phinnaeus and Hazel, Patrick Dempsey's Sullivan and Darby, and Marcia Cross's Eden and Savannah. Although each of these sets of names is very different in style and feel, they all embody the qualities that matter most in twin names. Each name in the set is distinct from the other yet they make a harmonious pair – exactly what most parents would wish for the twins themselves.
Gender compatibility may be more important for twins than it is for siblings. One pair of starbaby twins whose names don't quite work as well as they should: Sean 'Diddy' Combs' Jessie James and D'Lila Star. Both are girls, yet Jessie's name seems thoroughly boyish while D'Lila's is feminine to the point of frilly. Melissa Ethridge's twins are Johnnie and Miller – but unless you know their middle names, you wouldn't guess that Johnnie is a girl, Miller a boy. Such gender confusion seems needless, well, confusing.

Usdan Center Workshops Begin Today, 7/17
Usdan Center for the Creative and Performing Arts, the acclaimed summer arts day camp now in its 45th season, will once again present on-site teacher education workshops for elementary music and classroom teachers, taught by distinguished education professionals and featuring the newest, most innovative teaching techniques. The 9 AM to 3 PM workshops will be on-site at the 200-acre woodland campus of Usdan Center, 185 Colonial Springs Drive, Wheatley Heights (Huntington) Long Island 11798. The fee for each workshop is $95, and an application can be obtained by calling 631-643-7900, or visiting www.usdan.com.
A Certificate of Completion will be provided at the end of each course. Teachers should check with their school districts for prior approval.
Today and Wednesday, July 17 and 18, Angelo Truglio, a music educator in the Connetquot schools and Founder of I Can Do That! Kids and an Instructor and Learning Readiness Consultant for Teacher In-Service Training and Parenting Workshop, will, in his Usdan Center debut, present his child-friendly strategies that encourage children to set goals, be musically creative and to practice efficiently. Each participant will receive the I Can Do That! Teacher's kit, and enjoy lunch and attendance at a Usdan Center Festival Concert in the 1,000-seat McKinley Ampitheater.
On Tuesday and Wednesday July 24-25, Elaine Gates, whose career as a choral conductor and clinician for almost 40 years has taken her from the Huntington School District to Usdan Center to New York and Long Island Universities, returns to present her Music For Learning – Music For Fun! This will be a hands-on experience with 6 and 7-year-old students, introducing ways in which music can enrich the classroom curriculum by inspiring critical thinking through improvisation. Processes will also meet State requirements. In addition, participants will, once again, enjoy lunch and attendance at a Usdan Center Festival Concert.
Usdan Center for the Creative and Performing Arts (www.usdan.com), is the nation's premier not-for-profit summer arts day camp. Usdan, now entering its 45th season, has been declared a "Best Of" camp TimeOutNY/Kids, and by NY Metro Parents, and Long Island Press. Usdan is open to all young people from age 6 to 18, and no audition is needed for most programs. Admission to Usdan is based on an expression of interest in the arts. The Center is situated on a 200-acre woodland campus in Huntington, Long Island, to which 1,600 students travel each day on buses that depart from neighborhoods throughout the New York metropolitan area. Although Usdan's mission is for every child to establish a skill-based relationship with the arts, the unique inspiration of the Center has caused many to go on to professional careers. Usdan's 60,000 alumni include actors Natalie Portman, Olivia Thirlby and Lisa Gay Hamilton, singers Jane Monheit and Mariah Carey, Broadway playwright Michele Lowe, Grammy-Award winning producer Adam Abeshouse, Juilliard Pre-College Orchestra conductor Adam Glaser, and members of major American orchestras, dance, and theater companies. Usdan was formed to provide children with the arts as a companion for life through great teaching, and the camaraderie of fellow students whose bond is their love of the arts. Usdan offers more than 40 programs in orchestra, band, chorus, guitar, piano in the Music Department; ballet, modern, jazz, and tap dance in the Dance Department; musical theater or drama in the Theater Department; creative writing, fashion design, chess nature and ecology, and organic gardening. A special feature of each student's program is the Center's series of Festival Concerts, daily educational performances by distinguished artists. Some of those who have appeared at Usdan include James Galway, Yo-Yo Ma, Canadian Brass, jazz artists Jimmy Heath, Arturo O'Farrill, Jon Faddis, Cark Terry, and Jane Monheit, the Tokyo String Quartet, the Limon Dance Company, and stars of numerous Broadway shows.
Usdan's Long Island campus includes 70 state-of-the-art studios and theaters, each providing an inspiring collaboration with the Center's magnificent woodland. Usdan is a beneficiary agency of UJA-Federation of New York, and the Center is chartered by the Regents of the State of New York.

Sittin on top of the world!
By rebuilding I mean keep the young players and trade the old ones, maybe move Roy's bad contract but that's it.
I'll take cool and overcast over hot and sunny every day of the week.
But I still love the Pacers
My 'out of state fan' game reports over the years
Pacers.com Guest Blog Post: Area 55 Conquers Staples Center -- (Honorary) Area 55 Family Invades Target Center 2014! -- Target Center Invasion 2015
Side note these refs are bleh.
I don't even know who to blame for the current state of affairs. That's how big of a mess this is.
I miss Lou.
I don't think Phill can make this team play real basketball, this team is just not that good.
Vogel really lit a fire under our assess at the half, huh?
I'd rather die standing up than live on my knees.
-Emiliano Zapata
Ill give it til after the Mavs game... Seriously!
Garbage players get 1st round picks, (WTF)! All of the NBA must hate the Pacers! LOL
This is just so bad, glad I didn't watch the game.
I miss our entire bench mob. every single dude from last years team even fes
Counting down the days untill DJ Augustin's contract expires.
Interestingly enough, Artest would prolly be scoring 18-20 ppg for us this year lol
What coach could do much with a team with no worthwhile point guard and a massively overpaid center who has proven nothing other than he is capable of being a great backup.
I'd rather die standing up than live on my knees.
-Emiliano Zapata
Paul George strikes me as being kind of incredibly soft.
Not only that but we' re stuck with George HIll contract for 5 years.
Why am I still watching this garbage.
I want 5 Tyler Hansbroughs
Hansbrough made a solid pick!!!!!!
Again, there is no doubt that bringing a new coach is going to give some type of energy to the team, my point is that at the end of the day they still suck a**, why bother to make it to the playoffs to get destroyed? I just don't see the advantage of replacing Vogel if the team is going to look the same.
3 more to go. Are you amenable to trading the remaining three Hansbroughs for a couple extra Plumlees? We can make that happen.

Hereditary Haemorrhagic Telangiectasia (HHT, also known as Osler-Weber-Rendu Syndrome) is an disease that leads to the development of dilated and fragile blood vessels, including arteriovenous malformations in the lungs (PAVMs). We hypothesize that the genetically-determined abnormality in the blood vessels of HHT patients leads to alteration in the concentrations or activity of several proteins in the blood stream. We propose to take blood samples from patients at defined times in order to study changes in blood protein levels and activity
