CHICAGO — Patrick Kane scored his second goal of the game at 11:17 of overtime and the Chicago Blackhawks beat the St. Louis Blues 4-3 on Wednesday night to even their first-round playoff series at two games apiece.
Kane carried the puck down the left side as teammates Ben Smith and Brandon Saad rushed toward the net and beat Ryan Miller with a well-placed wrist shot for his 32nd career postseason goal.
Andrew Shaw and Bryan Bickell also scored for defending Stanley Cup champion Chicago, which blew a 2-0 second-period lead. Jonathan Toews had two assists and Corey Crawford made 30 saves.
Game 5 of the best-of-seven series is Friday night in St. Louis.

Kuala Lumpur
Malaysia's capital is better known for its shopping and street food than as a destination chock-full of activities for kids. But there are some hidden gems -- and tasty food options to tempt even fussy eaters -- if you know where to look. There are also plenty of kid-friendly air-conditioned malls and indoor attractions to escape the midday tropical heat. Along with my one-year-old daughter, Nikita, I mapped out this itinerary of Kuala Lumpur for kids.
Day One
9 a.m.
Head to the Petronas Twin Towers, one of Asia's tallest buildings, to line up for tickets to the public viewing platform on the sky bridge that connects the towers for a look at the city. Tickets are free, but only 1,300 are given out each day and they are snapped up by 10:30 a.m. The sky bridge ticket counter is on the concourse floor at the basement level of the towers.
Our next stop was the KL Bird Park, which is located beside the city's Lake Gardens, a large public park, and the Butterfly Park. It's a short cab ride from downtown, and morning is a good time to wander the eight-hectare bird park before the sun starts to sizzle. The entire park is covered in a tree-high mesh, but there are also birds in cages. Nikita loved toddling after the bright peacocks that wander the park, and enjoyed the World of Parrots exhibit. Despite its dated look, the array of birds makes the park worth a visit.
We stopped at the Hornbill Cafe in the park for an early lunch of nasi lemak, a coconut rice dish. There's a range of local and Western dishes at affordable prices on the menu.
Near the bird park is the Islamic Arts Museum. It's a little too far to walk so we grabbed a cab. The building boasts an extensive collection of crafts, clothing and jewelry, plus miniature models of the world's most famous mosques -- and lovely, vast, air-conditioned rooms with vaulted ceilings that kids are allowed to run through. My friend's 3-year-old enjoyed looking at some of the displays, and lying back in her stroller, staring at the ornate domed ceilings. There is a storytelling and children's craft session (included in price of museum admission) in the Children's Library on Saturdays at 2 p.m.
Tip: On the way back downtown, ask your taxi driver to swing past the courthouse and Masjid Jamek, or Friday Mosque, which are along one possible route back into the city center. The pair of heritage buildings, which are around the corner from each other, are beautiful examples of colonial-era Moorish architecture and are among Malaysia's most stunning buildings. If you want to go inside the Masjid Jamek, the city's oldest mosque, appropriate clothing and head covering for tourists is provided. If your kids are too cranky to stop, it's still well worth a little drive-by tourism.
Kuala Lumpur, with its relatively low prices on a variety of goods, is a great place to shop, so we headed back to Suria KLCC, the mall at the bottom of the Petronas Twin Towers. The shops range from designer to midrange brands, plus there's a selection of local crafts and textiles. There are diaper-changing stations in all the washrooms, but only two nursing rooms in the entire mall: One is next to the women's washroom near the Häagen-Dazs stall and the ATMs on the basement level and the other is in the Isetan department store.
When the sun started to fade, we visited the KLCC Park, just outside the mall, where there's a large playground and a big wading pool that's fun for kids to splash around in. There isn't much tree cover, though, so it's best to leave this visit to late afternoon.
The Mandarin Oriental Hotel, beside the Suria KLCC, is a good choice for families to stay: It's literally five paces from the mall, and you can access most of downtown by foot from here. There are several restaurants in the hotel, and the mall has even more dining options. Chinoz, an upscale bistro that offers modern Western food and overlooks the Lake Fountain, a large water feature, has a children's menu and seating both inside and outdoors.
If your kids are adventurous enough to try local hawker food, take a short cab ride to Jalan Alor, the most famous hawker district in downtown Kuala Lumpur. Two stalls that have received rave reviews from several Malaysian street-food guides are Restoran Fu Xi, which is famous for its chicken rice and wonton mee -- both mild dishes that children will like -- and Charn Kee, which is known for its seafood noodles.
Day Two
10 a.m.
We hailed a taxi to go to the Eye on Malaysia, a large ferris wheel with air-conditioned gondola-style cabins, so we could be there as it opened to avoid the tour-bus rush. This ride offers views of the twin towers and the city. You get several cycles on the wheel. Evenings are a good time to visit, when there are laser and fireworks displays.
It's back to KLCC mall to check out the Petrosains (petro-science) Discovery Centre, an interactive center designed to educate kids about the science and technology behind Malaysia's oil industry. There are several rides, including a helicopter simulator and an interactive replica of an oil rig that kids can climb on. One of the staff, noting my stroller and baby, kindly pointed out that it takes about two hours to make your way through this two-story complex, and that the interactive displays are really suitable for kids over the age of 6. I decided to give it a miss, but as I left, a large group of school kids came out shouting and wearing big grins, the best recommendation possible for the 6-year-plus set.
Our next stop was Aquaria in the KL Convention Centre, which is walking distance from the Suria KLCC and is a must-see. Allow at least an hour here. The highlight is a 90-meter-long travelator that takes you through an acrylic tunnel past a crystal-clear tank teeming with sharks and huge manta rays. Once you leave the tunnel, there's a seating area that looks into a slice of the tank and if you time it right, you can watch the aquarium's divers feed the sharks, rays, eels and other fish.
We were running behind schedule for lunch, so we grabbed fish and chips, ironically available just outside the aquarium in the nearby convention center food court. Another lunch option is the mall, which has two large food courts with excellent local and Western food.
After a nap, we went to Times Square, a sprawling mall that's about a 10-minute cab ride from the convention center. The shops aren't great, but there's a multistory indoor amusement park called Cosmo's World that's fun for kids. It has a few rides for smaller children, but most of them -- which are restricted by height, not age -- are for older kids and teens. Another good afternoon outing for tweens and teens, if the weather is fine, is the Forestry Research Institute of Malaysia nature reserve, just outside the city (www.frim.gov.my). It features excellent walking trails and a "treetop" canopy walkway on a suspended rope bridge.
If you want to squeeze in some last-minute shopping, Central Market, a large air-conditioned complex on the border of Chinatown, is a great place to pick up local handicrafts and antiques.

Jeremy Johnson is a talented musician and a true patriot. He wrote a poem this week about the government shutdown. I like his poem and asked if I could share it on my blog. He said yes. I created a post for the poem, but got carried away with my own commentary, so I decided to split the two posts. You can read my rant about the shutdown here if you so desire.
The Night of the Shutdown
(how to fix the problem)
Jeremy C Johnson
October 1st, 2013
'Twas the first of October, and all through the House
Not a Congressmen speaking save for the occasional joust.
Words were placed on their shiny Teleprompters so dear
In the hopes it would help their political career.
Though the Senators seemed worried we'd be in the red
Lovely visions of extended vacations danced in their heads.
While my wife in her Kerchief and I in my cap
Tried not to think about our tax dollars paying for this crap.
When I turned on the TV, there arose such a clatter
I sat up in my bed to see what was the matter.
Across my old TV all the marquees flashed
Government shuts down in a political clash!
Could this be a good thing? I thought to myself…
We could save a few bucks with big bro on the shelf.
But it wasn't the waste put on notice that day
It was the parks and museums that could self-sustain.
With the Senate, Congress and IRS not shut down
All hopes of a tax break are six feet underground.
And then, as it seemed, gone as quick as it came,
Was any semblance of good in our government's name.
And in a twinkling I saw three apparitions
There stood Stalin, Mau and Chavez if you could envision.
Leaning over a fence (like in Star Wars) they spoke
Of the joy they felt in seeing the country we broke.
Where are Washington and Adams, and the twilight's last gleam?
Where are Lincoln, and freedom, and the American Dream?
To the Chinese we sold out as downward we fall
And gave our cash away, thrown away, credit and all.
So I sat up and thought, with a pen in my teeth,
Of the simplest answer that I could bequeath.
When like lightning I was hit with the simple cognition
We don't need policy change: we need new politicians.
Normal Janes and Joes, not that Harry and John
Are all bad, they just can't seem to get the job done.
When you can raise taxes of hard-working folks
To pay for your own tax-free raise, that's a joke.
It's not funny, especially now that their waste
Is all piled up, crowding our personal space.
Spin your words, flash a grin, and show those dimples again—
But if you can't speak the truth, you are ugly as sin.
So go on, guys take the millions you've made
In backroom deals and from us, and go find some shade
Under palm trees in the tropics, we'll let you go.
Take your wife, take your mistresses, we'll run the show.
Now go spring to your jets, to some air that is pure
Be the prick of a thistle on some foreign shore.
You may hear us exclaim as you fly out of sight,
Let's be Americans again, and make this country right!

Leaving one's property in the hands of another while overseas is a source of great anxiety for homeowners. During this evening course professional property managers will provide information on when, why, and how to hire a property manager; how to avoid common pitfalls; and the tax implications.
Participant Feedback:
"I learned the importance of providing a good product (my house) and good services (my management company) towards a choosey customer (DC metro area renters). I also learned to think carefully about the issues of my property's "rent ready" date; asset depreciation; and home repair versus improvement."
"This course taught me that I need to get a property manager ASAP! And that I need to do a little more research to better understand the tax implications. The seminar gave me great ideas for the right questions to ask my tax accountant and prospective property managers."
"I increased my knowledge about tax data influencing the management of my house as a rental property. AND I became motivated to begin the process of preparing my home."
"This seminar was excellent for FS families who face the renting issue every time they go overseas."
"I am not a homeowner yet but highly considering and this gave me a strong sense of what will be necessary of me if we end up renting the property from afar, both the legal and financial responsibilities."
"This class presented good thoughts about preparing the house for rental, utility of property managers, and thinking proactively about tax management issues."

Since May is naughty excerpt month, I figured I'd join in. Here's an excerpt from my Western erotic foodie romance, Misbegotten Gaines. Kyle and Jamie dance around their attraction for a long time, but when Kyle catches Jamie bathing in the river in nothing but a t-shirt… well, here's a taste.
She crossed the small distance he'd created between them. "Please don't talk. I just want to feel you and touch you." She pressed against his chest and raised onto her tiptoes for his kiss. "And fuck you."
He pulled her to him and turned her around, walking them back until her butt felt the cold rock. She wrapped her fingers around his erection again, and one of his hands snaked between her thighs. The delicious coldness of his skin was a sharp contrast to the warm, wet feeling she'd been trying to ignore most of the night.
Lost in his kiss, she almost stopped breathing when his fingers found first her clit and then the lips of her pussy. And disappeared inside her. She could have ridden his fingers, they were so long and strong and thick.
But she wanted him inside her. Jamie shifted against the rock so her pelvis welcomed him and her thighs parted. "Please, fuck me."
In one swift movement, Kyle's thick cock filled her. He paused when he'd buried himself fully inside her, as though coming up for air for the first time.
"Come on, baby," she urged, grinding her hips against him. She felt some pressure on her clit and looked down to see his hand in the shadows. Beautiful man.
He finally pulled out and started to fuck her right and proper, grunting with each thrust.
"Careful," she said. "We have to be quiet." To shush him, she pulled his head down for a kiss, and he groaned into her mouth.
While the tension built between them, Jamie could feel the orgasm approaching, and she had no idea how she was going to hold in her cries. She'd already almost drawn blood from biting her lip. Then Kyle's finger found the sensitive underside of her clit, and she launched forward, burying her face in his shoulder.
"That's right, girl," he coaxed, bringing his thumb around again.
Her eyes almost rolled back in her head. She opened her mouth as the wave of her orgasm started to take her, and he pulled her closer. She couldn't help but bite down on his neck a little to muzzle herself as she started to come.
Just as she hit the peak, Kyle took her mouth again, and she whimpered into his kiss as she came. As though she set him off, he groaned back and his body stiffened.
When their orgasms subsided and both panted quietly, looking into each other's eyes, Kyle whipped her around, so he laid back on the rock and folded her into his embrace. Jamie straddled him, leaned onto his big chest, and caught her breath.
It had all happened so fast, and been such a frenzied quickie, she hadn't even had time to take off her shirt. But something had clicked inside, and she had to have him. Lying against him, she listened to the staccato of his heartbeat and looked off into the darkness, waiting for whatever it was to click back.
Instead, she heard his breath normalizing, the quiet rush of the river, and the thud of her heart in her throat. And she wanted to do it again, or maybe stay like this for a while.
Dammit, they were gonna get in so much trouble for this.
Poor Kyle. The guy just can't win in this book. Of course, you could call that winning. But they've got more of a task ahead of them now that they've broken the camp rules… we'll see what happens next. Meanwhile, check out the other DB excerpts.
Also, during my Cowboys (& Corsets) & Cocktails release party, I'm giving away lots of prizes to commenters, including an iPad. So if you're interested, comment away and see all the rules here.

From Tara Finglas: There are early symptoms of pregnancy that may point to the possibility. Every woman is different. So are her experiences of pregnancy. Not every woman has the same symptoms or even the same symptoms from one pregnancy to the next. Also, because the early symptoms of pregnancy are often like what happens right before and during menstruation, those symptoms aren't always recognized.Content rating: Low Maturity

Obviously there are times when a developer comes to the SO community because he/she's trying to work out a bug or a performance issue and simply wants help.
But suppose you have a class/method/whatever that you've written (the sort of thing that might go into a general-use library), and you're not actually experiencing any problems with it; it seems to work fine. You would just appreciate if others could take a look at it and provide general feedback: does it seem well designed, is the interface intuitive, is it implemented reasonably efficiently, etc.
Does this sort of question have its place on SO? Or is this not really in the spirit of the site's purpose as a Q&A resource?

Nice piece by John Kreiser on nhl.com looking at memorable teenage rookies in NHL history. Little correction: Bruins were not upset in the preliminary round of the 1980 playoffs (Ray Bourque's rookie season), though they came mighty close, falling behind black-and-gold Pittsburgh 2-1 in the league's first best-of-five in many moons. [The NHL absorbed the top-four WHA franchises, expanding the league to 21 teams and the playoffs to four rounds -- from 79-80 thru 85-86, the prelims were best of 5; the opening round went to best of 7 in 86-87.]
Boston actually beat Pittsburgh in that series, winning the final two games including an elimination game (8-3) in the Igloo, but they lost in five (4-1) to eventual champion NYI in the quarterfinals (three of those games went to OT, and the Bruins had to pull Cheevers to tie Game 4 on the Island before Terry O'Reilly sent the series back to Boston with a sweep-avoiding GWG in OT).
Bourque's 1980 playoff line: 2-9-11 in 10GP (leader Pete McNab: 8-6-14 in 10)
It was the next year, 80-81, that the Bruins finished as poorly as they started (2-9-1), getting swept out of the playoffs by the resolute North Stars, 3-0. It was the same season that Boston and Minnesota set the record for penalty minutes in a Feb. 26 5-1 win at the Garden that began with unlikely combatants Steve Kasper and Bobby Smith dropping the gloves off the opening draw. Keith Crowder, in his first NHL season, racked up 43 PIMs.
Great story about that one: My ex-wife's grandmother was a devout Celtics fan, and the newlyweds were in the habit of visiting from across town that winter. She liked fattening me up on the 3 P's (ie. Pepsi, Popcorn and Party Grahams), but she pledged her allegiance to the Big Three, who were in their first season together en route to the Celts' first NBA title in five years.
Along comes Mr. Hockey (I trust Mr. Howe will excuse the sarcasm), and the wife begs Grandma to let me watch this one Bruins game.
"Oh, I don't like that hockey," she said. "All they do is fight."
"Oh no, Grandma Dutton, they don't fight like they used to," I told her. (I expound on how Cashman and O'Reilly are wily old vets now, Wensink and Secord are gone, Jonathan is fading, etc.)
So what happens … last Bruins game I ever watched in that house. I don't think we made it through the first period before she changed the channel.

I like to use a combination of apple varieties in this cake, particularly Golden Delicious, Criterion, and McIntosh.
4 cups peeled and diced apples (I like to use 4 1/2 to 5 cups)
2 cups sugar
1/2 cup oil
1 cup chopped nuts (pecans or walnuts)
1 cup golden raisins
2 eggs, well beaten
2 teaspoons vanilla
2 cups flour (general purpose, not self rising)
2 teaspoons baking soda
2 teaspoons cinnamon
1 teaspoon salt
Preheat oven to 350. In a bowl combine the apples and sugar and mix thoroughly. Add the oil, nuts, raisins, eggs and vanilla. Mix dry ingredients together and then add them to the apple mixture. Bake in a greased 13×9 inch pan for 1 hour but check at 45 minutes because depending on the type of apples you use it may be done sooner.

Q: I need to file a travel insurance claim with Amex, where do I start?
A: If you have AMEX travel insurance, you're covered whether you're flying across the United States or you're traveling abroad. It's a pretty handy service, too. It covers you, your authorized users, your spouse, and any children up to age 25, and it covers lost or delayed baggage as well as theft from your hotel room. There are caps to how much they'll cover, but at least you're not out the entire amount.
To make a claim, you can either call or send a letter. Of course, most of you will choose to call, since it is much easier, but you may need to send in certain documents to prove the validity of your claim. The claims phone number is 1-800-228-6855. If you're calling from abroad, you can use the number 303-273-6497. The mailing address you will use to send any documents is as follows:
When you call, American Express will walk you through the rest of the process, including explaining any documents you need to send in. Keep any receipts you have, since they will need to see proof. For example, if your baggage arrives 3 or more hours late, you're allowed to buy up to $500 in replacement clothing at American Express's cost. You must provide proof that your baggage was late, however.

whoa ... carbon shimano cassettes ... that's a new one.
And a dumb one. I'd imagine those things would be shot to hell within 200 miles. Carbon chainrings already suffer badly from shifting, imagine what would happen to a cassette. Honestly, I've never heard of this company and I'd be pretty wary of their products unless I could see some reviews. A lot of what they're selling just feels like it may have been created for the sake of carbonizing something.Quote:

cyclist101, how is the cassette working for you? Have you noticed any changes, good or bad, with your shifting? I'm eyeing those cassette myself. :)
It works great. I use it mainly for racing, and have just a bit of milage on it, but so far it works great. Shifting is smooth and precise. Now, I don't know how long the cassette will last, since it is made for racing and is lightweight.Quote:

It's exactly like the Stella Azzurra bars, in fact, I wouldn't be surprised if this company makes the bars for Stella Azzurra, and private labels their own product under the Token name. Great stuff at half the price of the branded equipment.
anyone else had any tries w/ the token cassettes- it's a cheaper and lighter alternative to d/a 10 cassettes?
I received an e-mail with a 20% off coupon at velo carbon. I guess I am going to stock up on some stuff now. Anyway, here is the code: 312050079 I hope they don't mind me posting it here, I don't think it is a one use code.

As beautiful and unique as they are, orchids require the same environmental conditions as any other plant in order to survive and thrive. These necessary conditions are heat, light, nutrition, water and oxygen, with each individual plant species and family requiring differing amounts of each. Outside of watering, understanding how to feed orchids effectively will make the biggest difference in the health of these plants and the quality of their flowers.
Because of this, the roots of epiphytic plants have evolved to become more than just a structure used for support, and nutrient and water uptake. In the specific case of orchids they are also used for water storage and - rather impressively – to house chlorophyll pigment so that the roots can produce energy rich sugars through photosynthesis along with their fleshy leaves.
As mentioned previously, in their natural habitat epiphytic orchids live high up in the canopy often secured to a suitable branch. Although this makes them safe from grazing predators it also puts them well out of reach from life giving ground water and the nutrients locked up within the soil. In order to obtain their essential nutrients orchids have to rely on accumulated debris, bird and animal droppings to be washed onto their roots by rain.
All of this means that when it comes to feeding orchids effectively, which is why it helps to understand the environment they come from.
Using the normal concentration of water soluble fertilizers that you would use for other plants will quite simply overfeed orchids burning their roots and leaves, and cause fertilizer salts to build up in the growing mix. This is caused by the phenomenon known as ex-osmosis. The dictionary explanation of osmosis is a follows:
Osmosis is the diffusion of water through a semipermeable membrane, from a low concentrate solution (high water potential) to a highly concentrated solution (low water potential), up a solute concentration gradient.
Ex-osmosis occurs when water contained within the plants root is drawn back out into the root environment due to the high concentration of nutrients compared to that within the root. If exposed for too long the root cells will die through dehydration causing the characteristic burn marks on the surface of the roots.
Over-feeding orchids will not make them grow faster or produce more flowers, but instead will push them into decline and even die. However there are some basic orchid feeding rules with will prevent this from happening.
1. If using a standard house plant food always feed your orchids using half the recommended strength. If in doubt, always feed less.
2. Purchase and use orchid fertilizers specially formulated for orchids and simply follow the directions.
3. Try not to get into the habit of feeding orchids the same amount of feed at the same time each month. Orchids will need more feeding in the spring and summer months while they are actively growing, and far less during the cooler winter period.
4. You can't treat all orchids the same and this includes the amount of fertilizer given. Give larger growing specimens or species that naturally produce more foliage – cymbidium species – more food than other those that grow naturally smaller or produce less foliage such as plants from the paphiopedilum family.
Together with feeding your orchid plants and to reduce the risk of overfeeding it is also a good idea to flush the root system thoroughly with water at least once a month to get rid of excess salts.

Have a Favorite Child? Here's How To Handle It To Everyone's Advantage.Rebecca Odes
I'm guessing you're all aware of the recent widespread brouhaha caused by a Babble blogger who revealed her preference for one child over another in a highly controversial manner. I declined to comment on this post at the time, because there was such an onslaught of reactions it seemed pointless. But I have certainly thought about it a lot. One of the things I thought was unfortunate was the fact that the blogger's original point was so valid, and so valuable—but it was totally lost in the fray of the way she expressed it, and the outrage that expression generated.
It would be so simple if we could all feel an absolute balance of love among all our children, but the reality is that favoritism happens. It happens quite often, in fact: A high percentage of parents (65% of moms and 70% of dads) consider one of their children their favorite: usually the oldest. But parents are right to worry about it. In addition to the inequities in how children are treated, favoritism can lead to competition, and feelings of guilt for the favorite child and jealousy and resentment for the less favored one. But having a favorite child doesn't have to be a tragedy. In fact, it doesn't even have to be a big deal.
The key is to keep an eye on the damaging stuff, rather than focusing on the unrealistic goal of a constant even-steven state. Here is Parenting expert Michele Borba's three step plan to help keep things from getting out of hand:
Step 1. Take a parent reality check.
Your first step is to take an honest self-appraisal to your feelings about your children. Then tune into your typical daily interactions and how those actions might be perceived by your kids. Do your self-appraisal over the next few days so you can really get a more accurate assessment of your behavior.
Your key test is this: "Do your eyes light up with the same intensity for each of your kids?" And even more important: "Would your kids agree with your verdict? Might you be playing favorites or putting too much pressure on one kid or another?
If you admit you may be playing favorites, then pat yourself on the back for honesty. This is one of those tougher moments in parenting. But don't stop! Dig deeper. Here are a few more questions to help you get a grip on what's going on to help you know what to do.
Here are a few things to consider. Do you:
- Expect more of one child?
- Give one kid more attention?
- Take sides?
- Listen to one kid's side more or assume one kid is right?
- Compare your kids in front of each other?
- Encourage rivalry in academics, sports, or popularity by acknowledging one kid over another? Pay more attention to one child's hobbies, friends, school, and interests?
- Distribute chores, rewards, and opportunities fairly?
- Light up with the same intensity when you see each of your kids?
Step 2. Commit to change.

Practicing what they protest
Conservatives with skeletons make easy targets for the left
The private lives of two high-profile social conservatives, one from the Northwest and one from the Southeast, are in the news.
James E. West, as mayor of Spokane and in his 20-year career in the Washington state Senate, has consistently battled gay marriage, benefits for homosexual couples, and other violations of traditional morality. When in the legislature, he advocated a bill that would outlaw all sex between teenagers.
But The Spokesman-Review, a Spokane newspaper that has supported Mr. West politically, hired an investigator to pose as a 17-year-old boy whom Mr. West then solicited for sex on a gay porn internet site. The newspaper's three-year investigation also turned up allegations that Mr. West has been molesting boys going back 25 years, including when he was a sheriff's deputy and a Boy Scout leader.
Mr. West apologized "for the shame I have brought to the mayor's office and the city," but refused to give up his office. That a crusader against homosexuality himself may practice homosexuality is confusing his supporters and delighting his enemies. "We seem to have a Jekyll and Hyde personality in our mayor," said a city council member. "His credibility is shot."
W. David Hager is an obstetrician and gynecologist in Lexington, Ky., who has become a leading expert on women's health issues from a pro-life, biblical perspective. Named one of the "Best Doctors in America" in 1994 and 1996, Dr. Hager is the author of several books, including As Jesus Cared for Women. In 2003, the Bush administration appointed him to the FDA's Advisory Committee for Reproductive Health Drugs, where he was instrumental in preventing the abortion-producing "morning-after pill" known as Plan B from being approved for over-the-counter sale.
Now The Nation has printed an article detailing charges from his ex-wife that Dr. Hager, before their divorce in 2002, subjected her to years of brutal sexual abuse, forcing her to commit repugnant sexual practices against her will. The Hagers were married for 32 years.
Accounts from bitter divorces are notoriously one-sided and nasty. Dr. Hager told a Lexington newspaper that "the allegations as stated do not reveal all of the information and therefore they're incomplete and not true." Still, he did not deny the essence of the charges. When Dr. Hager's nomination to the FDA committee faced intense opposition from the pro-abortion lobby, WORLD supported him. (See "Hager isn't Horrible," Nov. 2, 2002). This month he did not return WORLD's e-mails or phone calls.
Liberal journalists are reciting the West and Hager stories with glee and in lurid detail. Ironically, some of those journalists defended President Clinton's affair with Monica Lewinsky on the grounds that personal behavior is irrelevant to public office. We at WORLD report the story sadly, but we know from the Bible that private life cannot be compartmentalized from public life, and that public figures do not have the luxury of being inconsistent.
Liberals, of course, are using these conservatives' moral failings as evidence against their beliefs. Gay-rights proponents are saying that Mr. West's opposition to homosexuality is evidence of self-hatred and confusion over his identity, all reasons to be more accepting of homosexuality. The Nation spun the charges against Dr. Hager to attack his stance against the morning-after pill.
But not living up to one's own ideals does not disprove the ideals. Christians know that sin looms in the human heart, that a person may know what is right while doing "the very thing I hate" (Romans 7:19-23). A Christian may hate a particular sin to the point of publicly crusading against it precisely because he knows it so well and seeks to disable his own temptation. Such is the fallen human condition and why we all need a Savior.
Still, people with skeletons in their closets should not run for or accept positions where they will be under close scrutiny-for their own sake, the sake of the people who supported them, and the sake of their cause. And Christian leaders should conduct themselves in the sure and certain knowledge that "nothing is covered that will not be revealed, or hidden that will not be known" (Matthew 10:26).

How To: Protect your Privacy on Google+
Google Plus is growing at a rapid pace. A study done by comScore says that Google has managed to attract 20 Million Users within three weeks. There is no doubt that social networkers are flocking to Google Plus, but so are cybercriminals and spammers. Experts at Kaspersky Lab recently stated that Google+ has seen a surge in spam, and users have been receiving unsolicited emails, containing phishing links and malicious code. Google+ profiles are also more public, compared to sites like Facebook, where you cannot view the posts of only those you are not connected to. All this is causing security and privacy concerns among new Google+ users and they are wondering whether or not they should join Google+.
These things need not be a matter of worry, if you have your privacy settings in place and know how to use the site. Here are few things that you can do to ensure you are safe and secure on Google Plus.
Select who can view your Personal Information
You Google Plus profile is public by default, and your personal information can be viewed by everyone on the web, including those in your Circles. To allow only selective people to view your personal information, you have to go to the privacy setting page and choose the appropriate option. Follow these instructions to change your settings:
- Click on your Name on the top of the browser window and go to the 'Privacy' option in the dropdown menu.
- This will take you to a new page, Choose 'Profile and privacy' from the menu on the left-hand side of the page.
- Click on the 'Edit visibility on profile', under your name appearing on the right side of the page
- Now, you will be taken to your profile page where you can change the visibility settings for each item on your 'About' page and select who can view your photos and videos. You can choose from the options – Everyone on the web, Extended Circles, Circles, only you or customize the visibility further for each person in your network. Don't forget to click on the 'Finished Editing' tab that appears on the top of the browser, once you are done with all the editing.
Do you want to appear in Search Results?
By default, your profile will appear in search results of Google and other search engines. Go to the Privacy Settings Page and change the 'Search Visibility', if you don't want search engines to index your profile.
Change the Visibility of your Circles
You might not want the people in your network to see all your Circles and all the people you are connected to. In that case, you can hide certain Circles from those who view your profile. Click on the small circle that appears next to 'In Your Circles'. In the new page that appears you can choose the Circles that you want to be seen on your profile and uncheck those you want to be hidden. There is no customize option though, so the visibility settings cannot be extended to those within a Circle, so either everyone in that Circle is visible or none of them.
You can also choose whether or not you want people to see 'Those who have you in their Circles.'
Share Information with the appropriate Circle
While publishing posts, choose the visibility of your posts. You can make it Public or Share it with Extended Circles, Circles, or specific people within your Circles.
Other Privacy Settings
Email: Control who can email you, by changing the settings of 'Send an Email' option under your photo.
Block a Person: When you block a person, you can no longer see this person's content in your stream. The person will be removed from your circles and won't be able to comment on your content. They can however, see your public posts like everyone else.
Be Careful when you comment on other People's Posts
You cannot control the visibility of your comments. The visibility will depend on the privacy settings of the person on whose post you are commenting. If they have made the post public it would be visible to all. So, be careful about what you say in your comments.
ZoneAlarm, a consumer Internet security company has published an infographic on this topic. You can check out this info-graphic for some Google+privacy tips.
These are some basic tips to solve your privacy issues and protect you from social media stalkers on Google Plus. Feel free to add your ideas on this, in the comments section.

Liza's family feudLiza Minnelli is struggling to evict her stepmother after selling the family home with her still in it.
Lee Minnelli, 94, is refusing to move from the Beverly Hills mansion she shared with Liza's late father, Vincent - despite the home's new owners demanding she leave.
Originally the owners agreed to let Lee stay on in the home on a short-term basis, but they are now worried she could live for years.
In accordance with Vincent's will, his wife should be allowed to live in the luxury home for the rest of her life or be provided with comparable accommodation.
Despite Liza making arrangements for Lee to live at the Actor's Fund Home, a retirement home for entertainers - Lee is still refusing to move.
Liza has already been to court to try to void the sale but she lost her bid and is now facing having to evict her stepmother.
This is not the first time the feisty women have been embroiled in a legal battle over the home.
Two years ago, Lee sued her stepdaughter for allegedly cutting off the mansion's electricity and firing staff to get her to move out.
Liza was ordered to continue paying for upkeep and expenses on the house.

The Bank of Japan kept monetary policy steady on Tuesday, standing its ground for now in the face of calls from the country's likely next prime minister to pursue unlimited easing to revive an economy widely seen in recession.
The leader of the main opposition, Shinzo Abe, has put the central bank at the centre of economic debate ahead of a Dec. 16 national election that surveys show his party would win, signalling his government would put the bank under much greater pressure to ease policy.
Abe has even suggested revising the Bank of Japan law, a step critics say is aimed at clipping the central bank's independence and forcing it to print money to finance public debt that is already double the size of Japan's economy.
At the end of a two-day meeting, the central bank left monetary policy unchanged, holding fire so it can size up the policies of a new government to be formed after the December vote for the powerful Lower House.
It also wants more time to assess the impact of policy easing in September and October, which raised the size of its asset buying and lending programme to 91 trillion yen ($1.1 trillion) -- roughly equal to Japan's annual state spending.
Markets barely reacted to the announcement as many had priced in the BOJ decision. But some analysts see a good chance the central bank will boost stimulus at its next rate review on Dec. 19-20, just days after the election.
The pressure on the BOJ is so strong that I don't think they can avoid easing next month after the results of the election, said Yasuo Yamamoto, senior economist at Mizuho Research Institute in Tokyo.
Increasing asset purchases is the most obvious option. Markets will now look to see how BOJ Governor Masaaki Shirakawa responds to the increased political heat and concerns over the central bank's independence when he holds a media briefing later in the day.
Japan's economy shrank 0.9 percent in the September quarter and given headwinds to growth in the current quarter, is widely expected to have slipped into a recession.
The BOJ maintained its assessment that the economy is weakening somewhat but warned that the persistent overseas slowdown was weighing on exports, output and business spending.
It also offered a slightly bleaker view on the outlook, saying the economy will remain weak for the time being before

This review is from: Euro-Pro Shark S3101 Electric Steam Mop
Pros: Compared to other steam mops? Not one.
Cons: Do yourself a favor and do not buy this mop. Find a Haan steam mop and you will be happy for a long, long time. Shark products, specificially this steam mop are made cheap. The piece where the mop handle contects to the steamer on the bottom breaks OFTEN. They even sell replacement pieces because of how often their stuff breaks. STAY AWAY!

Nifty little device
This review is from: Euro-Pro Shark S3101 Electric Steam Mop
Pros: Its lightweight and seems to do a pretty good job of cleaning. It's really fun when you get it really steaming. You have to push the handle forward to activate it though so it there is a lot of "useless" back and forth motions. I have had issues with it cracking the grout in my kitchen floor though, not sure if its due to the shear temp or just the fact my grout wasn't water sealed correctly.
Cons: You can't find "scrubber" pads. By this I mean that it comes with cleaning pads and they are very soft and nice but they don't have anything that actually scrubs. So if you have food or something stuck to your floor, unless you can scrape it up before hand or want to continually make your steamer go off and on because of the back and forth motion it pretty much is useless against anything other than dirt. Atleast in my experience. One suggestion was to spray some chemicals on your floor, which really seems to defeat the purpose of having a steam mop if I can't use it "as is". Not really a con but No where in the description does it say that it is cordless So I don't know why one would make a big stink about it however the "quick release" is a little misguiding as it is simple a hook that turns so your cord falls out, just like most vacuums.
Other Thoughts: Overall its pretty good for general cleaning of hard surface floors but I wouldn't recommend for heavy duty cleaning. It's also nice if your a "Green" person as there is no chemicals involved other than those in your tap water.

Just another Gadget...
This review is from: Euro-Pro Shark S3101 Electric Steam Mop
Pros: it Does make Steam...came damaged and NewEgg replaced it in less than a Week ( VERY FAST and Great Service)
Cons: I Expected more from this....it is just a Gadget that we will probably rarely EVER use. A Mop and Water will do the same thing..With the SAME amount of Effort and Hassle.
Other Thoughts: I would NOT buy this again..Or recomend it to others...as it does NOT do a better Job...Nor a Eaiser/Faster Job than a $10.00 mop would.

This is NOT Cordless !!!
This review is from: Euro-Pro Shark S3101 Electric Steam Mop
Pros: Seems to clean pretty well, not sure how long the pads will last or how much the refills cost yet though...
Cons: Since only 2 out of the 6 pictures show a cord on the unit and EVERY other steam mop lists the length of the cord except this one then you would think the cord is removeable and just used to charge it... That is the primary reason I chose this model and I think what really frustrates me is that it appears from the description and pictures that this is exactly what they want you to think. How deceiving!

Assuming both you and the camera will be stationary -- e.g. camera on tripod, you seated -- you can get away with almost any camera, assuming you also buy some decent lights and audio gear and use them properly.
It's only when motion is introduced (of the camera and/or the subject) and/or when you cannot setup ahead of time or do multiple takes (e.g. "live" events.) that certain camera features come in handy.
Of the cameras you mentioned, there's no need to spend as much money on a 60D or T5i. A T4i will do just fine. Heck, you could probably even shoot something like this on an iPhone, although post wouldn't be very convenient. In any case, spend the extra money on (LED panel) lights with umbrellas or diffusers and a lavalier mic (and maybe a TASCAM D40).
Full disclosure: I own a T4i - Mark
So I see many, many different articles and posts pertaining to this question, though just about every single one of them was answered according to a few variables of the question poster. I have a very, very unique situation in which I won't have the luxury of a "do-over".
I'd first like to point out that I'm not experienced at all. I'm a salty 32 y/o paratrooper veteran who has spent my life in either the army, the hospital as a disabled vet or the academia environment, trying to set a positive role model to my children. The only familiarity I have with photo/video, was from a film-making lab that I took back in college.
Unfortunately, I received some pretty bad news not too long ago; I'm sick and dying. I'm sure that I at least have a few years to go and this whole dying thing wouldn't be so bad if it just solely affected me. However, it won't just affect me, as I have a small little boy to whom I have been both mother and father to. We are attached at the hip and have easily become best friends. From the moment he came out of his mother's womb, I fed him, clothed him, rocked him to sleep and bathed him. I was literally both his mom and his dad. The only parent that this sweet and affectionate blonde-haired and blue-eyed little boy has ever known, will soon be gone. I'm going to try to shield my precious little son from as much hurt and emotional turmoil as possible. I don't want my passing to negatively affect his life.
So, I was to document my life through photos and video. I first had noticed that the only photos of me, were taken when I was in the army, dirty and deployed with weapons in my hand -and of course, that steely eye'd look that war eventually gives to anyone. It's hardly the photos that I want my son to remember me by.
However, my big plan was to document my life from beginning to end through video. Maybe give a bunch of interviews, where it would be like I'm talking to my son.I can tell him who I am and where I came from in ways that he can better understand as he gets old. In addition to telling him who I am, maybe I can give him advice that any normal dad would be able to give, for a whole range of different potential issues. I was also thinking about maybe reading a few children's books, so his children and my grandchildren may still get some benefit out of me yet, even after I'm long gone. I just think that this is the best way to break up our attachment when it comes time for me to pass.
However, I'm completely dumbfounded as to whether I should go with something like a DSLR (60d or Rebel T5i) or a dedicated video camera. I was leaning more towards the dedicated video camera, but they seem to be more expensive comparatively speaking (where I simply do not have the budge to get a good quality one) and being able to take good snapshots might come in handy. So I guess that there are trade offs for both and this is kind of where I'm stumped. I'm working on a limited budget and need to get this right. What would you guys recommend for a situation like this? DSLR or dedicated video camera? Also, I'm a pretty fast learner, especially with such a big motivation to get this done. Any and all help would be greatly appreciated.

Sounds like the police approach is a bit rough around the edges Colleen?!
As far as talking goes, I think its fine in your own dojo if it is aikido related and if they are questions. Problem with my dojo at the moment is that there are no high grades. Therefore it is very serious work trying to instruct because sometimes it is the first time EVERYONE has ever done a particular technique and therefore a bit of discussion between them saves me going around everyone individually to sort things out.
Unfortunately, everyone at the start develops bad habits, but this is what aikdio training is about isn't it; getting rid of your bad habits?
Also, I find talking provides a more relaxed atmosphere esp. if it is mildly humerous.
Its probably up to the sensei what he thinks works best with the group. If people are just chatting about the weather they are either bored, not focusing on what they are doing or not interested in aikido - either way the sensei can do things to prevent this situation.
As far as students giving instruction when you're not training with your regular sensei goes - pretty much out of the question (unless they are absolute beginners who are being shown, and they can't do anything). Basically if you're there training you're there to learn how someone else does it; I've seen people train for a solid week and not learn a thing because they are still trying to do what their previous sensei told them.

Newsletter for the Section on Statistical Education
Volume 2, Number 1 (Winter 1996)
As educators struggle to implement the standards, statistics, under the guise of quantitative literacy, has become an accepted component of elementary, middle, and secondary mathematics programs. Exploratory data analysis modeled on Exploring Data by James Landwehr and Ann Watkins from the Quantitative Literacy Series can be found in nearly every middle and high school text series; box plots, stem-and- leaf plots, exercises on the mean, median, range and interquartile range. The February 1990 issue of the Mathematics Teacher was a special focus issue on statistics. NCTM published an addenda series to help teachers implement the Standards. The sales of the three addenda books on statistics, Making Sense of Data (grades K-6), Dealing with Data and Chance (grades 5-8), and Data Analysis and Statistics Across the Curriculum (grades 9-12), indicate they have been purchased by a very large number of teachers and schools around the country and in Canada. Many sessions at NCTM annual and regional meetings have been devoted to statistics, probability and data analysis. Two all day "conferences within a conference" devoted to elementary and secondary statistics were held at the 1995 Annual NCTM Meeting in Boston. Many of the examples used to illustrate the NCTM Assessment Standards are based in statistics. The council has, indeed, supported efforts to promote statistics as a component of the curriculum.
The critical question, however, is what is actually happening in classrooms? Are we preparing students to deal with data and chance in meaningful ways? There are several issues that seem to need addressing before our efforts can begin to be successful. First, despite the existence of statistics and probability strands in the curriculum, there is no guarantee that they are being taught. And even then, in many instances, only the procedures have become a part of the curriculum. Despite being embedded in context, textbook exercises ask process questions, independent of the context and devoid of interpretation: what is the mean; make a box plot. The problems provide data on high school drop out rates but ask students only to "find the median," which can be done without any context. There is little attempt to make "sense" out of a situation or to use data to help advance an argument or to make a decision.
The statistical view put forth is often limited. Little attention is paid to the concept of variability, to enable students to develop a sense of how important it is to capture not only measures of center but measures of how things vary, and what patterns in this variation might indicate. Little attention is paid to thinking carefully about how to design an experiment or to collect data. The emphasis is shifting from teaching students to think statistically about situations to teaching a prescribed and limited list of procedures.
A further issue is the current "rush" to teach "real" statistical concepts. Even at the elementary level, probability is introduced on page one; on page two students learn to use "and" and "or," and at the middle school, on the third page they use combinations and permutations to answer probability questions. There is little opportunity nor curriculum provisions that allow students to investigate, to experiment with different probability situations, to look at results over many trials, to develop an understanding of probability rather than memorizing rules and formulas.
Because the graphing calculator has become readily available, curve fitting has recently become a part of the curriculum. Instead of carefully building student understanding of what it means to choose a line to "best fit" a set of data, students are taught to punch a button. In grade 7 students with little or no preparation for thinking about what it means to fit a line to data and use their line to describe a relationship are finding a least squares regression line. Just because we can do something is not necessarily a reason for doing it! Without the mathematical foundation, a concept is likely to be used incorrectly. Repeatedly in texts and in publications, the concept of correlation is misused and misunderstood. A high correlation does not mean a line (or curve) is the "best fit" for a set of data. Fitting curves to data involves careful analysis of the context for clues about the relationship.
(Contextually, the diameter of a tree and the volume of wood might be related by a cubic; if they are not, you might want to raise a question.) The context, graph, residuals and their graphs as well as numerical summaries are all part of the process of finding a "good" fit for data.
The Standards paint a picture of statistics that is not yet a reality in classrooms. There is progress, but there is a long way to go. Technology is now readily available to allow students to explore statistical situations. Materials are being developed through the curriculum projects of the National Science Foundation that will provide teachers with exemplars. In particular, Data Driven Mathematics, a series of modules designed to integrate statistics into standard mathematical topics in the secondary curriculum and the elementary series, Elementary Quantitative Literacy, (both to be published by Dale Seymour) are designed to help teachers understand and incorporate statistics into their classes.
Making statistics a true component of the curriculum presents a challenge for 1996 and beyond -- an even greater challenge, however, is to help teachers, students, and textbook writers understand that "statistics is the art of making numerical conjectures about puzzling questions," an exciting and fascinating way to think about numbers and mathematics and to ensure that it is this view of statistics that takes root in the classroom.
