A few months ago, I had a special opportunity to photograph Walt Disney's apartment located above the Main Street Fire Station for the Disneyland archive. I know many guests have stood on Main Street, U.S.A., and looked up at the apartment window to see that the lamp has been left on in Walt's memory. Today, in honor of Walt's birthday, I'd like to share one of my favorite photos taken that day – showing the view as he would have seen it, looking out that very window.

Vintage Walt Disney World: One Big Birthday Cake for Walt
posted on December 5th, 2013 by Nate Rasmussen, Archivist, Marketing Resource Center
Today, we celebrate the man who started it all, Walt Disney. Back in 2001, Walt Disney World Resort celebrated what would have been Walt's 100th birthday during the yearlong 100 Years of Magic Celebration.
Characters, guests and cast members all gathered at Disney's Hollywood Studios to cut a giant 25-by-17-foot cake (made up of 100 sheet cakes) to celebrate. Happy Birthday, Walt!
Windows on Main Street, U.S.A., at Disneyland Park: Herb Ryman
posted on December 2nd, 2013 by Jon Storbeck, Vice President, Disneyland Park
On a Saturday morning in September 1953, Walt Disney stood over the shoulder of artist Herb Ryman as he sketched an idea for an amusement project that would appeal to both children and adults. Walt's brother Roy was going to New York that Monday to line up financing for Disneyland and he wanted Roy to "show" them what he planned to build.
Over a single weekend, which became known as the "lost weekend," Herb used a small carbon pencil to illustrate Walt's dreams on paper. Within two years, those dreams were transformed into reality and Disneyland became the first theme park of its kind in the world.
Herbie, as he was called by friends and co-workers, had an uncanny ability to interpret Walt's ideas into drawings. Marty Sklar, former vice chairman and principal creative executive of Walt Disney Imagineering (WDI), once said, "Herbie was like our own little Tinker Bell at WDI. He was always sprinkling pixie dust on everyone and he never grew up. He had a tremendous curiosity for everything and everybody."
Herb first met Walt Disney in Los Angeles at a gallery exhibit of his work. Walt was so impressed with the paintings on display that he invited Herb to join the Walt Disney Studio. While Herb went on to serve as an art director for such feature-length animated classics as "Fantasia" and "Dumbo," Disneyland became the centerpiece of his Disney career. Among his contributions were designs for Main Street, U.S.A., Sleeping Beauty Castle and New Orleans Square. Herb also contributed concepts for the Jungle Cruise, Pirates of the Caribbean, and for attractions featured at the 1964-65 New York World's Fair, including Great Moments with Mr. Lincoln.
Herb retired in 1971 only to return a few years later as a full-time consultant, sketching numerous conceptual drawings for Epcot Center. His work for that park included detailed park renderings as well as inspirational paintings for The American Adventure and the China Pavilion, among others. He also developed the popular Hall of Presidents at Walt Disney World Resort and the Meet the World attraction at Tokyo Disneyland.
Herb shares a window with two other talented Disney artists, John Hench and Peter Ellenshaw. Their window, which simply states, "Plaza School of Art – Instructors," is actually located on Plaza Street (adjacent to Main Street, U.S.A.) above Main Street Photo Supply Co.
Herb passed away on February 10, 1989, while still working on ideas for Disneyland Paris. He was named a Disney Legend in 1990.
Step In Time: Bringing Dumbo's Circus to the Parade Route at Magic Kingdom Park
posted on December 2nd, 2013 by Jennifer Fickley-Baker, Social Media Manager
In the 1941 film "Dumbo," there's a scene in which the circus comes to town in a big way – by parading through the streets and offering a glimpse at fun that awaited would-be customers in the big top. In the scene, the procession includes exotic camels, colorful clowns, Dumbo and more.
In 1979, Walt Disney Entertainment brought a parade inspired by this scene to life at Magic Kingdom Park in the form of Dumbo's Circus Parade, with famous (and a few long-lost) Disney characters taking up circus roles. The train from Dumbo, Casey Jr., rolled down the parade path, with Winnie the Pooh waving from the caboose. A large three-ring circus float followed with Mickey Mouse dressed as the ringmaster, Minnie Mouse as a lovely aerialist, Donald as a snake charmer and Goofy as circus weightlifter. The circus ended with the clown headquarters, an Engine House float, moving down the line.

Magic Kingdom Park Makes Disney History As All Walt Disney World Parks Go Turnstile Free
posted on November 27th, 2013 by Jennifer Fickley-Baker, Social Media Manager
Earlier today, Magic Kingdom Park reached a milestone in Disney history when the park's final touch point entry system was unveiled at the park – a moment that signified that all Walt Disney World Resort park entrances are now turnstile free.
The first park to trade turnstiles for touch point entries was Disney's Typhoon Lagoon Water Park, which became the first turnstile-free park in late February. Similar replacements have taken place at parks across Walt Disney World property throughout the year, making it easier than ever for guests – especially large groups, or families with strollers or wheelchairs – to enter the park together. To enter a park, guests now simply touch their ticket media, Annual Pass or MagicBand (in testing) to the touch point on their way into the park. Cast members are still stationed at entrances to greet guests and assist when needed.
One of those cast members is Awilda Martinez, who has worked at the main entrance of Magic Kingdom Park for more than 30 years, and has personally seen the difference the new touch point entry system has made for guests visiting the park.
"The guests love the new entrances. It's all been positive. Even children get a smile on their face when they see the green light. They've never seen anything like this before in their lives!"
The History of the Disneyland Monorail: Mark II, 1961-1969
posted on November 25th, 2013 by Erin Glover, Social Media Director, Disneyland Resort
Last month, we began a series on the history of the Disneyland Monorail. Today, we continue our look back at this iconic Disneyland park attraction with the next model, the Mark II.
Remember that when the Disneyland Monorail opened in 1959, it was intended as a sightseeing experience rather than a mode of transportation. Then in June 1961, the Disneyland Monorail became the transportation link that we know and love today. The track was extended to cover a total of 2.5 miles, linking the Disneyland Hotel to Tomorrowland in Disneyland park. Not only was the track extended, but a new fleet of Mark II monorails was introduced, featuring four cars each, instead of three found on the Mark I. Also, the gold monorail joined the red and blue monorails in the family. With the Mark II, the iconic bubble dome on the top of the front car was enlarged.
With the addition of the Disneyland Hotel station, guests had the option to purchase two different types of tickets. They could purchase the traditional ticket to Disneyland park and disembark in Tomorrowland or they could stay on for a round trip!
The Mark II monorails transported guests for several years until a whole new fleet arrived in 1969! But that story is for the next installment in our series.
What are some of your favorite Disneyland Monorail memories?
Remembering Diane Disney Miller
posted on November 19th, 2013 by George Savvas, Public Relations Director, Disneyland Resort
Today we learned of the passing of Walt Disney's daughter, Diane Disney Miller. Upon learning the sad news, Disney chairman and CEO Bob Iger said, "We are deeply saddened by the passing of Diane Disney Miller. She is remembered by Disney fans around the world as the beloved daughter of Walt Disney, and one who graciously shared her family history and personal memories of her father."
"Diane was a fierce guardian of her father's legacy who never hesitated to set the record straight, opening The Walt Disney Family Museum in San Francisco to bring her father's fascinating story to life. In our many conversations over the years, Diane's unique and special perspective about her father only deepened my considerable appreciation for him. Diane was incredibly generous in that regard, freely sharing her personal insights and providing details that deepened our knowledge, and we remain grateful for her many valuable contributions to our efforts to preserve Disney history. She and her sister, Sharon, have long been recognized as Walt's inspiration for Disneyland, a place he created for families to have fun together. For that reason and many others, Diane will always have a special place in our company's legacy and in the hearts of fans."
"She was also known for her philanthropic efforts, including playing an integral role in the development of the renowned Walt Disney Concert Hall in Los Angeles to ensure the creation of a unique venue bearing her father's name that she believed would be "a wonderful thing for the city, for the spirit, for the soul."
"Diane was the wife of former Disney CEO Ron Miller, as well as mother to their seven children, Christopher, Joanna, Tamara, Jennifer, Walter, Ronald and Patrick. She also had 13 grandchildren and had the great joy of recently welcoming her first great-grandchild into the world. We send our sincere condolences to the entire family and our thoughts remain with them during this difficult time."
Last year, at the Disneyland Resort, we had an opportunity to meet Diane and take some photographs of her and her family as they visited Disney California Adventure park for the first time since its expansion. Spending a little time with her was a thrill for all of us.
Upon seeing the Storytellers statue, Diane remarked with a sparkle in her eye that she didn't remember him being this young, saying, "He was older when I met him!"
Diane also joined us at Disneyland park for our 50th anniversary celebration on July 17, 2005, pictured here with Disney Legend Art Linkletter.
Among our favorite photos of Diane and the Disney family is this special moment captured during Walt and Lillian's wedding anniversary celebration in The Golden Horseshoe, just four days before the grand opening of Disneyland park — her father's dream that she and her sister Sharon inspired years earlier on that day when their dad watched them play from a nearby park bench.
Windows on Main Street, U.S.A., at Disneyland Park: Blaine Gibson
posted on November 18th, 2013 by Jon Storbeck, Vice President, Disneyland Park
Twenty years ago, on November 18, 1993, the "Partners" statue was dedicated at Disneyland park. Blaine Gibson, Disney Legend, sculptor and animator, is the creator of this bronze statue of Walt Disney and Mickey Mouse standing hand-in-hand in the Central Hub at Disney Parks around the world. Blaine made the figure of Walt "larger than life" – roughly 6 feet, 5 inches tall. In reality, Walt was about 5 feet, 10 inches tall.
Born February 11, 1918, in Rocky Ford, Colorado, Blaine attended Colorado University but left school to join The Walt Disney Studios in 1939. While working as an inbetween artist and assistant animator, he took evening classes in sculpture at Pasadena City College. Among his animation credits are "Fantasia," "Bambi," "Alice in Wonderland," "Sleeping Beauty," and "101 Dalmatians," just to name a few.
After animating all day, Blaine would go home at night and sculpt; it had been a favorite hobby of his since childhood. In 1954, Walt Disney happened to see one of Blaine's art exhibits and recruited him to work on special projects for his new theme park, Disneyland.
Blaine was somewhat ambivalent about being diverted from his goal of establishing himself as one of the Studio's foremost animators. As he recalled in 1995, "I didn't think it was that important, but then I was told Walt was expecting me to work on these projects. So I said to myself, 'what the heck' and went (to Walt Disney Imagineering). I was never sorry after that."
At first, Blaine divided his time between sculpting and animating, but in 1961, he transferred full-time to the design and development division to supervise the newly created sculpture department. Ultimately, Blaine went on to make a name for himself in 3D animation, creating hundreds of sculptures from which Audio-Animatronics figures and bronzes were produced for exhibits at the 1964-65 New York World's Fair and Disney theme parks around the world.
Blaine is responsible for the realistic look of President Lincoln in Great Moments with Mr. Lincoln. In fact, he is featured in the pre-show video with Walt Disney discussing how he used a life mask to sculpt the iconic 16th president. Among Blaine's other credits are his contributions to Pirates of the Caribbean, the Haunted Mansion, and Walt Disney's Enchanted Tiki Room. He also directed the sculpture of every U.S. president, up to George W. Bush in 2001, for The Hall of Presidents at Walt Disney World Resort.
After nearly 45 years with The Walt Disney Company, Blaine retired in 1983. He continued to consult on such projects as The Great Movie Ride in Disney's Hollywood Studios at Walt Disney World Resort.
Blaine's window, located above The Mad Hatter, was dedicated in 1992 and reads: The Busy Hands School, Sculpting, Whittling & Soap Carving, Blaine Gibson, Headmaster, "The Eternal Pursuit of the Artists Craft." Blaine was named a Disney Legend in 1993.

A language teacher at a Catholic high school near Philadelphia was terminated from his job last week after he told school officials he was applying for a gay marriage license with his partner in neighboring New Jersey.
Michael Griffin, who taught French and Spanish at the Holy Ghost Preparatory School for 12 years, lost his job last week after he filed for a same-sex marriage license in New Jersey, where he lives with his partner, Vincent Giannetto. Father James McCloskey, the headmaster at the school located in Philadelphia's suburb of Bensalem, said in a statement that the school must abide by the teachings of the Catholic Church, and Griffin had violated his contract with the school when he applied for a same-sex marriage license.
According to KERO-TV 23, McCloskey said Griffin's decision contradicted "the terms of his teaching contract at our school, which requires all faculty and staff to follow the teachings of the Church as a condition of their employment. In discussion with Mr. Griffin, he acknowledged that he was aware of this provision, yet he said that he intended to go ahead with the ceremony." more >>
Hollywood blogger Perez Hilton will star in a new reality TV series that will follow the lives of single and married gay men who live in New York City trying to balance careers, personal lives and fatherhood.
"Gay Dads Of New York" will showcase Hilton, who welcomed a son via surrogate earlier this year, and a group of other gay dads, living life as "the typical American family," according to Hilton. However, Christian-based organization, American Family Association (AFA), says Hilton's show should not air on television.
"We know, according to research done by Mark Regnerus at the University of Texas, that same-sex parenting is not optimal for children," said Bryan Fischer, director of issues analysis at the AFA, to The Christian Post, referring to a sociology professor's controversial study on the outcome of gay parents' children. more >>
A Colorado judge says a Christian baker who refused to make a wedding cake for a same-sex ceremony must serve gay couples despite his religious beliefs, a ruling that a civil rights group hailed as a victory for gay rights.
Administrative Law Judge Robert N. Spencer ruled Friday that Jack Phillips, the owner of the Masterpiece Cakeshop in suburban Denver, will face fines if he continues to turn away gay couples who want to buy wedding cakes.
"The undisputed facts show that Respondents (Phillips) discriminated against Complainants because of their sexual orientation by refusing to sell them a wedding cake for their same-sex marriage," Spencer wrote. more >>
Pastor Rick Warren of Southern California's Saddleback megachurch explained his position on tolerance, homosexuality and marriage during an interview with Piers Morgan on CNN, telling the journalist he is most concerned about the attempts to redefine the term "marriage."
"While I may disagree with you on your views on sexuality, this does not give me the right to demean you, to demoralize you, to defame you, to turn you into a demon," Pastor Warren stressed on the onset.
Tolerance, Warren said, used to mean that we treat each other with mutual respect even if we have major disagreements. But that has changed. more >>
Speaker of the House John Boehner, when asked if he supports "the Republican Party apparatus" bolstering openly gay candidates, said "I do," unleashing a storm of debate in the GOP. One conservative strategist denounced the episode as a diversion to the real story in politics, the fallout of the Affordable Care Act, also known as "Obamacare."
"Some of our members just aren't as sensitive as they ought to be," Boehner added, speaking at a press conference this week. Tony Perkins, president of the Family Research Council, denounced the move as an unnecessary distraction from the failings of ObamaCare. "What's the purpose of the Republican platform if the party isn't looking for candidates who uphold it?" Perkins asked.
In an email statement to The Christian Post, Perkins wrote that "the GOP's latest sideshow comes at the expense of the party's greatest opportunity: capitalizing on America's disgust for Obamacare." He criticized the National Republican Congressional Committee (NRCC) for allegedly spending money to support "two activist homosexual candidates." more >>
A gay couple who got married in California was denied divorce on Monday in Mississippi after a judge ruled that their marriage is not recognized under state law.
Desoto County Chancery Judge Mitchell Lundy said in Monday's decision that he "can't grant a legal divorce if there's no legal marriage."
Lauren Beth Czekala-Chatham, 51, filed for divorce from her partner, Dana Melancon, in September at north Mississippi's DeSoto County. The couple had married in 2008 in San Francisco and separated in 2010. more >>

7 for All Mankind Stirrup Jean: Love It or Hate It?
So there's been buzz that the stirrup is back, but I'm still convinced that it's all coming from the denim companies, trying to get us to buy another new pair of jeans. Take a good, hard look at these 7 for All Mankind Stirrup Jeans, $168, and ask yourself: is the stirrup jean really, truly going to make a comeback? I think not.

Ugh. I can't believe I EVER wore stirrup pants!
MAY STIRRUP PANTS BURN IN THE FIERY DEPTHS OF FASHION HELL...FOREVER!Ugh. I can't believe I EVER wore stirrup pants!
as a child of the 80s, the stirrup cannot, and i mean CAN NOT, make a serious come back. i handled and embraced the return of the short leggings and then skinny jeans, but this is where i must draw the line. the material under the foot is the most annoying thing. if we are going to be forced to look at this, at least pair them with some lime green scrunchy socks.
Oh, dear god. It is NOT the early 90s, 90210 is no longer on our screens and trousers like have long been banished from my mind. Please keep it that way.
Only if there were boots involved. I hated how the stir-up pant turned into some weird fashion statement for Grandmother's in the 80's. All I can recall are the truly awful ones in pastel colors.

God, No! What's next - big shoulder pads and frizzy bangs? I used to wear stirrup pants in 6th grade with a gigantic color block Esprit top. Yikes. Who'd want to bring that look back?
Hope not, but I've got to admit that I've bought some stirrup leggins for this argentinian fall :rotfl:
Im mixed on these. They would be great with boots, but they look terrible with the pumps!
this girl i used to work with never thought the trend died - every day with the stirrups and plastic payless shoes with the pleather stripped off the worn down heels, self-tanner oompa loompa shade(also, not washed off fingers), caked on makeup - just saw her the other day, same damn outfit, oh, the visual...... sooo fugly, the cut is terrible, even with boots. i can see why this was thought of for tucking into tall boots, but no way would i wear them......
holy crap - literally, i mean CRAP!! i thought we left all things stirrup dead in the 80's - along with mall bangs and excessively frosty makeup.
I wore these in the 80s, but they were soft stretchy fabrics, like leggings, not jeans. I can see how they'd be awesome with boots or booties, and a long top, but I doubt I'd actually buy a pair.
haha that's funny, I was in Norstroms's today and I saw them hanging up and thought "WTF!" I had to go over to check them out to make sure I wasn't seeing things. When I think stirrup I think fat women at walmart.

Got this at a great deal during the Teach your Friend to Scrapbook month at 8.99. It is the perfect size to take with you and portable enough to use anywhere (I used it sitting on the couch!!) The swing out arm stays put when you need it to and the blade track lifts up so that you can place your paper exactly where you need it! It has plenty of measurements on the trimmer to help you line things up correctly. This is a wonderful trimmer and I am very happy with my purchase.
I have use the 8-1/2 inch cutter for many years and loved it, but it wasn't able to cut 12x12 paper. Now that I am doing scrapbooking, it is important to be able to cut a variety of sizes. I had been looking at 12 inch cutters and was very, very pleased to find just the one I wanted with this Fiskars product. Fiskars is the best when it comes to scrapping needs.
I bought a Fiskars trimmer at Target, and it was great while I was working on small books. But I needed a 12" trimmer now that I am working on a 12x12, they are all $25 or more...this is a GREAT deal. I am absolutely thrilled with it. The swing-out ruler arm is super helpful for measuring cuts. And just like anything Fiskars, it cuts perfectly.

Pics: Dia de los Muertos raises spirits
Photos by Rebecca Bowe
A few images from San Francisco's well-attended and festive celebration of Dia de los Muertos, on Nov. 2 in the Mission.
How can you tell that the gentrification of the Mission District is complete? When there are no pictures of Latinos in the coverage of Dia de los Muertos. Congratulations Burning Man idiots you have co-opted yet another group's holiday.
I thought about that a lot, too, Johnny, as I walked the procession for my fifth time last night. It certainly was a lot bigger and a lot more burner than before, I kind of think Facebook's recent rise had a lot to do with that, and also better work getting the word out on the part of the organizers. (Also, the timinmg of the Halloween weekend meant the celebrations lasted a lot longer than usual, so people were on a dress-up bender.)
But I'm also not so sure that the fact that a lot more white people took part is a symbol of the death of Latino culture. White people die, too, and adopting other peoples' rituals is totally the norm when it comes to grief. Of course, most people were there not to grieve but to gawk and cavort. I'm not so sure that's a bad thing. I actually noticed more Latino-looking people than in previous years as well.
The knee-jerk reaction may be disgust at the sea of whiteness, but should everything be kept so insular in our city? Do you object to all the straight people who come to Pride, or all the Latino, Black, and Asian people who come out for Halloween night? Maybe I'm being specious ... but I don't know if cultural tourism necessarily equals gentrification.

Short Bar Asks Tall Customer To Stay Away During Busy Hours
By editor
Originally published on Wed July 3, 2013 8:52 am
Good morning, I'm David Greene. I think having a tall one at the bar is a good thing. But a bar owner in Britain disagreed. The owner of the Nutshell Pub asked a customer named Adam Thurkette if he'd mind staying away during busy hours. Adam is 6 foot 7. And the Nutshell is reportedly Britain's smallest pub, 15 feet by 7 feet. The owner says Adam just takes up too much room.
Adam wasn't even offended. He admitted his height is better suited to his work as a tree expert than as a customer in crowded bars.

Reblogged from CLPTeensburgh: Carnegie Library of Pittsburgh Teen Services:
It's hard to read the continuing coverage of the Steubenville sexual assaults without seeing a gross empathy problem plaguing our culture. How else could these sorts of things happen? How could two teens feel that what they did was okay? How could their peers sit idly by as it happened or casually retweet the videos in its wake? Why would adults choose to enable such behavior through attempts to cover-up the attack?
Editor's note: our colleague at CLPTeensburgh, Joseph, has given us permission to reblog his essay on reading fiction in the wake of Steubenville. We hope you find it as meaningful as we did, and that you will add CLPTeensburgh to your list of must-read book/library blogs.

At the conclusion of a comprehensive review of the subject, Lusk1 has written that "present-day doctrines concerning metabolism in gout may shortly become entirely obsolete through new and far-reaching discoveries." Until recently, gout has been discussed primarily as a phenomenon of faulty metabolism. "Faulty metabolism of purins and their precursors" has been the offhand explanation of the mystery of gout with its manifestations of unusual retention of uric acid in the blood, its occasional deposits of urates in the tissues, leading sometimes to the formation of specific gouty nodules, and its acute inflammatory disturbances in the neighborhood of these tophi. Trauma, toxicity and infection are familiar detrimental agencies that have been called on at times to explain the gouty manifestations. Affinity of the tissues for uric acid (whatever that may mean precisely), increased formation of uric acid (which is now regarded as unlikely), and abnormal chemical union of uric

2011 Million Dollar Club - Silver Phoenix
2011 Million Dollar Club - Silver Phoenix
Commercial Real Estate
- Tonya Layman , Contributing Writer
Belkofer: Persistence pays
Land sales pro George Belkofer Jr. was first attracted to the real estate business after seeing his friends develop successful careers in the industry.
"They were making a lot of money and having a good time doing it," he said.
That was 42 years ago and even though the business has changed in the last few years as developers are struggling to secure financing, he has no regrets. He earned the Silver Phoenix Award from the Atlanta Commercial Board of Realtors for 25 years in the Million Dollar Club.
He attributes his success to persistence, knowledge of the market and honesty.
"Over the years, I have worked on a lot of deals that didn't work out but they led to other deals," he said. "That is where persistence pays off. It is an extremely competitive business."
Belkofer started with Myrick Co. and then founded Belkofer & Co. Inc. in 1977.
George Belkofer Jr.
Title: Owner
Company: Belkofer & Co. Inc.
Years of experience: 42
Most significant deal of 2010: The sale of 50 percent interest in The Shops of Buckhead. It took 12 months, 16 lawyers and included 731 contract changes before it was signed Jan. 1, 2010.
Education: Bachelor's degree in
economics, The University of Georgia
Family: Two grown sons
Hobbies: Golfing, hunting, exercising and fishing
Chrismer sold on real estate
In the early 1980s, Richard "Bubba" Chrismer was trying to make a name for himself in sales. He was selling telephone systems when he ran into some guys he grew up with, who told him he should try using his sales skills in real estate. He took their advice.
Now Chrismer has earned the Silver Phoenix Award from the Atlanta Commercial Board of Realtors for 25 years in its Million Dollar Club.

I've heard from Ali and others about the weird things birth control pills seem to do to people healthwise. It's already known that they can cause blood clots (so DO NOT use if you have any kind of thrombophilia, e.g., if your doctors say you are at risk for conditions like deep vein thrombosis), and people report that their cycles became irregular even after only a few cycles.
Last I spoke, Julie Indichova (author of Inconceivable) is also conducting a study on birth control pills and their effect on infertility. It's especially important to make one's self aware of the risks, especially when they are using the pills to STOP MENSES COMPLETELY (eek) and to treat ACNE (double eek). -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- (NaturalNews) Women who take oral contraceptives may have more plaque buildup in their arteries, according to a new study conducted by researchers at the University of Ghent, Belgium, and presented at a conference of the American Heart Association. Researchers conducted a long-term observational study on 1,300 healthy women living in the small town of Erpe-Mere, Belgium. Approximately 81 percent of participants had taken birth control pills for at least a year at some point in their lives, and 27 percent were currently taking the contraceptives . According to the U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, approximately 80 percent of U.S. women use oral contraceptives at some point between the ages of 15 and 44 . More here . |
I am 40 yo and am still taking birth control pills for acne. I do not get regular acne or black heads. I get the large painful noduls that look like a cyst under the skin and never really come to a head. They may stay there for as long as a month or more. BC pills are the only thing I have found to keep them in check almost never getting them now. However, my husband has had a vesectomy so I don't need them. I'm considering now trying again to get off of them. I have developed a mask also. It is really bad. I'm not sure how much of it could be from the pill and from sun damage. My question is: If I get off the pill, does a "pill mask" go away? I might try this first before I try the laser light. Any suggestions?
Thanks, Kelly

Mr. Herron
In the time it took you to come up with this diatribe on the evils of voter ID requirements, you could have taken your mother to get an ID. Please focus your efforts where they are truly needed - if you want granny to vote, take her into town and get her an ID. If the expense of getting an ID is really an obstacle to voting, work on legislation to address this with a system to provide an ID to those in need. It is critical that we all trust the outcome of an election, even if it inconveniences some folks.

I'm Kia, a 21 year old architecture student currently based in Manila, Philippines.
Photography is my escape from the daily grind. I'm currently doing a monthly self portrait project that aims to express loneliness and fleeting youthfulness, which is what most people in their early 20s experience. For me, the most beautiful things are the ones will fade away soon. Aside from portraits, I also love taking pictures of the forgotten buildings here in Manila, architectural details and sunsets.

Sir Ian and Michael Gambon continue to be the most awesome people alive. [via]
The original story of the little mermaid is that she must kill the prince in order to be human, and in the end, she loves him too much and kills herself instead.
The artwork is too great not to reblog.
Ok, ok - important expansion: she only has to kill the Prince because the deal was if he fell in love with her she could be human forever, and he didn't. By which I mean, he was a good person and genuinely nice to her, but he didn't fall in love. He fell in love with someone else, also perfectly nice - not the seawitch in disguise, fu Disney. The Mermaid is told she can only return to the sea now if she kills the Prince. She goes into the room where he and his lover lie sleeping and they look so beautiful and happy together that she can't do it.
That's why she kills herself. And because it was a noble act she returns to sea as foam.
One moral of the story was that women shouldn't fundamentally change who they are for love of a man, and in theory Han Christian Anderson wrote it for a ballerina with whom he fell in love. She was marrying someone else who wouldn't let her dance.

Shaun the Sheep inspires Barrow kids' activities
Published at 16:00, Monday, 18 February 2013
YOUNGSTERS spent a fun afternoon hearing about the exploits of one of the most endearing characters on children's television.
A Shaun the Sheep activity session was held at Barrow Library on Wednesday, for children aged four to 11 and their families.
The event was a special half term activity, led by apprentice librarian, Fern Henderson.
Those who attended were treated to a series of stories and rhymes about the lovable wooly creature.
Youngsters were also give the chance to follow in the creative footsteps of well-known modeller Nick Park, creator of Wallace and Gromit and Shaun the Sheep, by making their own figures of the ovine hero.
Since first appearing in the Wallace and Gromit film, A Close Shave, Shaun the Sheep has become a popular children's character in his own right.
Having been given a dedicated TV show, the family favourite has been appearing on CBBC since March 2007.

Kukla's Korner Hockey
Kovalev Wants To Be A Hab
by Paul on 06/05/07 at 02:17 PM ET
Comments (0)
from the Montreal Gazette,
I'm not sure whether this is good news, but Alex Kovalev says he wants to be a Canadien for a long time. Radio-Canada caught up with Kovalev on a visit to Ste. Justine Hospital and he offered a couple of mea culpas.
He admitted making some comments critical of the Canadiens organization and rookie head coach Guy Carbonneau. But he said the criticism came out of frustration after the Habs missed the playoffs. He said he and Carbonneau made mistakes, but that he was looking forward to next season.
continued...but do the Canadiens want him?...

So you are a new immigrant to Canada - Welcome aboard! Canada has earned a reputation around the world as a country of tolerance; a place where people can speak freely, practice their own religion without persecution and express their political views without fear of reprisal from the government of the day.
That is, with one notable exception.
Let's just say newcomers might want to think twice before checking out real estate ads in this nation's second largest province.
Quebec has taken its obsession with all things French to a whole new level with the introduction last week of the Charte des Valeurs, or Charter of Quebec Values - an odious piece of legislation introduced in the province's National Assembly by the minority Parti Quebecois government.
Not satisfied with offending Indo-Canadians by attempting to ban turbans - and, in effect, South Asian boys - from the soccer pitches of the province, the Parti Quebecois has now targeted every religion.
The province that already has an Orwellian office dedicated to ensuring French words are larger than English words on signs throughout Quebec now wants to mandate that civil servants cannot wear any religious clothing and adornments at work.
No turbans, no yarmulkes, no hijabs, no burkas - none of it. Even the silver crucifix necklace grand-mère gave you for communion will be banned if the Parti Quebecois deems it to be too large.
If Canada can be described as a nation of two solitudes divided between the English and the French, then the Parti Quebecois is taking the province on a path to even greater isolation - as in North Korea isolation, where the population dwells in a society increasingly shaped by misguided ideologues.
It's not a culture so much as it's a hegemony with a backward, close-minded rural population imposing its warped values on the rest of the province's population. American right-wing nut jobs have their Tea Party and Quebec whackadoodles have the Parti Quebecois.
This is exactly the reaction the architects of the Parti Quebecois' latest inflammatory legislation hope to provoke with its list of "values."
"See how Les Anglais doesn't understand our noble efforts to preserve our culture? Separation is the only answer!" No, sadly we do understand. We understand that the Parti Quebecois is obsessed with turning the province into a French enclave on the western shores of the Atlantic.
Given Quebec's history and its love/hate relationship with the Catholic church, a secular land free of religious influences sounds appealing. For centuries Quebec society was dominated by the Catholic church, an omnipresent theological force with tentacles that touched every region of the province through churches, hospitals, social services, schools and even branches of government.
The Quiet Revolution of the 1960s and '70s severely curtailed the church's influence, but the province's Catholic roots are revealed whenever a Quebecer stubs his or her toe. Where English speakers utter choice four letter words, Quebecers unleash a stream of epithets rich in Catholic argot: tabernac, sacrement, chalice, pape merde, etc.
But like the sign laws and other aspects of Quebec's fixation on the preservation of its ever-shifting definition of distinct society, the Parti Quebecois is going overboard and offending everybody in hopes of appeasing its electoral demographic. The PQ wants to erase centuries of Catholic influence so therefore all vestiges of religion must be banned from government offices. Problem solved, non? There is, of course, one big fly in the ointment for the new charter dreamed up by the PQ policy wonks. Like the rest of Canada, Quebec's birthrate is declining and the province depends on immigration to sustain its workforce. With policies such as this charter of values in place - and who knows what coming down the pipe - what kind of immigrant will look upon Quebec as a desirable new home? Let's see, who would want to move to a province where minorities are openly persecuted for their beliefs by the authorities, where the sitting government is actively seeking to break away from the rest of the country, where government officials carry rulers to measure the size of lettering on signs, and where corruption is an accepted part of doing business with the government.
Most immigrants are leaving their home countries to escape these situations, not actively seeking them out in the place they want to settle and build a new future.
Bon chance, mes amis.

Pros: perfect fit very solid construction Color is very similar to stock Cons: almost to tight AC control button slot can be very tight and you may need to do some sanding to get the buttons to fit correctly like I did... I do want to say something else. The pictures of the products don't really show the true color of the unit. You really have to look at my unit to tell the slight color difference. I highly recommend this unit as it is a solid unit that truly resembles stock...

The color matched perfectly with the rest of the dash itself. Was expecting the price to be a little bit less but what can you do. Easy to install if you know what you are doing. If you do not know how to take apart a dashboard it may be difficult for you to do the wiring and installation of the deck behind the dash.

This is the second dbl din dash panel I've owned. The first was another manufacturer's product installed by a dealer and the AC controls were tight and didn't fit well. I installed this one and all OEM parts fit perfectly. Perfect fit on the dash as well. As with all these aftermarket units the color is slightly off, but this unit has a better match than the other one. You can hardly tell.

How Does the Choice of Teaching Method Affect Learning?
Teaching Methods in Reading
The teaching method is a term that is used to encompass all of the principles and strategies used for instruction. In terms of teaching students how to read, there are two main teaching methods being used today: the whole word approach and the phonics method.
The whole word approach teaches reading by introducing words as whole units. The whole word approach does not require students to analyze the sub-parts of the word, but merely requires them to memorize how it looks through the use of "visual hooks" so that they can recognize it by sight. By contrast, the phonics method teaches reading by first introducing the sound-letter associations so that the student can then decode words based on the letters used. Thus there is no limit to the number of words he or she can read once he or she has successfully learned the 40+ sounds that correspond to the 26 letters of the alphabet.
The whole word approach, also called the "look-say approach" or "sight reading method", was the most often used teaching method in American schools until recently, when the federal government instituted massive literacy reforms on the basis of compelling results that point to the value of using phonics up to the third grade.
Teaching Method and its Effect on Literacy
Some pedagogic experts claim that students will learn how to read regardless of the teaching method used. And indeed, this may be true, because students without any severe intellectual deficiencies do acquire some reading skills at school. However, it all boils down to a question of proficiency, because just having "some" reading skills is quite a long way from being literate.
The most recent exam results compiled by the National Assessment for Education Progress reveals that 25% of eight graders in America are reading at "below basic" levels. Reading at below basic levels means that these students are ill-equipped to perform crucial task such as understanding complex material, increasing their reading and speaking vocabularies, and improving their study skills. In short, they are unlikely to succeed in college unless some intervention is applied. Even then, there is decreased hope of these students ever reaching their full potential, as education experts have found that the fourth grade is considered the watershed year when it comes to acquiring literacy skills. Interestingly, these results were achieved before the phonics literacy reforms were instituted.
A student who has been exclusively taught using the whole word method will have significant blind spots: there are only so many words that can be memorized by form, and context clues are unreliable when used to identify a specific word. Students can progress from one grade level to another without being able to read at all, because memorization and using clues does not define reading. A student's use of clues can also lead, in many instances, to guessing; the incorrect guesses that naturally result lead to miscomprehension of the text.
Phonics as Part of the Solution
The growing population of individuals with problems in literacy is prompting both government and private institutions to come up with solutions. As the problem has been officially declared a national health problem, the National Institute of Health Studies is taking an active part in resolving the issue. They are discovering that, given the proper instruction in sound-letter relationships, 95% of even the least skilled readers can learn to read at grade level. This discovery is highly crucial, because when children in the first grade struggle with reading in the first grade, they soon come to the conclusion that they neither like reading nor want to learn how to read.
Teachers need to be aware of when their students are not benefiting from their teaching method. Most teachers are sensitive enough to recognize when students do not or cannot seem to engage in reading lessons, but being aware and recognizing non-response is not enough— it needs to lead to discernible adjustments in the teaching method so that the learning needs of the students are met. Clearly, how students are being taught is just as important as what they are being taught.
