The Evangel Temple performed "The Life of Christ" on Saturday evening.
Organizers tell us a huge crowd was on hand to witness the reinactment of the resurrection of Jesus on the eve of Easter. Saturday was the second of four performances and officials encourage you to attend a performance on Sunday.
"Easter's just like any other season, It's been commercialized," associate pastor Kim Culpepper says. "And we just want to bring the focus back to the fact that Jesus suffered and that jesus gave everything that he had, all that he had. That we might know the lord, we might know the father."
The final two performances of "The Life of Christ" will be at 10:30 a.m. and 6:00 p.m. on Sunday at the Evangel Temple. Admission is free.

It's hard to believe that OVERKILL has entered its 20th year of existence and just released its 14th long player, "ReliXIV". And the best part about it is that the true-blue, old-school thrashers among us can still be proud of the product and the fact that OVERKILL still doesn't give two shits about trends. I enjoyed 2003's "Killbox 13" a great deal and didn't have a problem with the few twists of modernity that characterized the tunes, as well as the somewhat slicker production (although I know a few of you do). Come on, it was still unabashedly OVERKILL. But "ReliXIV" is classic OVERKILL, no two ways about it. We're talking 10 tracks of American blue-collar thrash, characterized by those choppy and muscular rhythms, gigantic chunks of crushing riffage, crisp drumming (including those all-important thunderous double-bass blasts), D.D. Verni's thick bass lines, and Blitz's snarling and snotty vocals. The band's stab at self-production is a success, resulting in a rough-hewn sound that still allows the arrangements to breathe.If you're like me, it takes a second listen to get into the groove of an OVERKILL album, especially nowadays when much of what passes as thrash has a rather clean, even antiseptic quality. Once that ball gets rolling though, there's no stopping it. It becomes immediately clear that this is vintage OVERKILL when the introductory slow build of "Within Your Eyes" tops off and the claws sink in on the verse, ripping flesh during the trashy, blues-inflected chorus. "Bats in the Belfry" is of the quintessential variety — the backing shouts of "Bats!" on the chorus, the fat groove, and the pace changes from speedy rumble to a slower, jagged rhythm. "A Pound of Flesh" kicks the buzzsaw riffing into up-tempo thrash overdrive, while "Keeper" follows a similar path, though a tad slower with a pronounced gallop and some chest-thumping kick drum action. True to form, OVERKILL mixes up the pace a bit, offering up slow to mid-paced tempos, grease-stained riffs, and bluesy vibe on both "Wheelz" and "The Mark". The album closer, "Old School", is not about the Will Ferrell movie, but does bring one back to the roots and thrusts middle fingers in every direction. A catchy chorus that sounds like a bunch of drunken Oi! punkers singing along (right down to the shouts of "Hey! Hey! Hey!") is one big "Fuck You" to the non-believers. An appropriate ending for a band that should make you grateful that this style of music is still being performed in 2005. It's nothin' fancy or original; just predictable, balls-out OVERKILL thrash metal.

"My Girl 2" is pleasant, painless and, as sequels go, genuinely ambitious in its efforts to be a continuation rather than just a retread of its surprise-hit 1991 predecessor. That may not be enough for pic to broaden its appeal beyond its obvious target audience of preteen and young adolescent girls (and, of course, tag-along parents and boyfriends).
"My Girl 2" is pleasant, painless and, as sequels go, genuinely ambitious in its efforts to be a continuation rather than just a retread of its surprise-hit 1991 predecessor. That may not be enough for pic to broaden its appeal beyond its obvious target audience of preteen and young adolescent girls (and, of course, tag-along parents and boyfriends). But while B.O. likely won't be anywhere near the worldwide $ 120 million gross for "My Girl," sequel should perform modestly well before doing even better on homevid and pay cable.Screenwriter Janet Kovalcik (working from characters created by Laurice Elehwany) picks up the story two years after "My Girl," in 1974. Opening scenes return to original pic's setting, the fictitious town of Madison, Pa., with same lead actors reprising centralroles. Precocious Vada (Anna Chlumsky), now 13, still lives with her father, Harry (Dan Aykroyd), operator of the town's funeral parlor. Harry has married g.f. and co-worker Shelly (Jamie Lee Curtis), who's now very pregnant. Vada accepts the new domestic situation agreeably enough but still wonders about the mother she never knew, who died from childbirth complications. After a leisurely paced but amiable start, "My Girl 2" leaves Madison (and Aykroyd and Curtis) and moves to Los Angeles, where Vada wants to research her mother's past for a school project. In L.A., she stays with Uncle Phil (Richard Masur, another "My Girl" alumnus), a mechanic who's living with g.f.-boss Rose (Christine Ebersole) and her young teenage son, Nick (Austin O'Brien). Nick reluctantly serves as her tour guide through L.A. as Vada searches for people who knew her mother in high school and collegeyears ago. Her investigation puts her in contact with a by-the-book cop (well played by Keone Young), a sickly poet (a witty turn by Aubrey Morris) and a self-absorbed film director (a nifty cameo bit by Richard Beymer). Ultimately, Vada learns her mother was married, then divorced, long before meeting Harry. This leads to pic's emotional payoff, as the ex-husband (John David Souther) shows Vada a home movie of her late mother (Angeline Ball of "The Commitments"). "My Girl 2" is often mildly amusing, and never less than engaging, but it lacks a strong narrative drive. Director Howard Zieff, who helmed the original, places a great deal of stock in the charm of his players, and they rarely let him down. Zieff's best films ("Hearts of the West,""Slither") are more plot- than character-driven, so it's not surprising to find here that Vada's search is presented more as a methodical journey of self-discovery than a race against time. Trouble is, the lack of a sense of urgency tends to work against the film, since there are stretches when the viewer is very aware of time passing. That impression is only reinforced by a subplot (Rose's flirtation with a suave customer played by Gerrit Graham) that plays like so much padding. Still, even without the presence of Macaulay Culkin, whose character was killed off in the original pic, "My Girl 2" has enough going for it to entertain and satisfy. In the lead role, Chlumsky has developed into an even more appealing young actress for the sequel. She establishes a nicely persuasive rapport with co-star O'Brien ("Last Action Hero"), who probably will set many fair hearts aflutter in shopping-mall multiplexes everywhere. Despite their top billing, Aykroyd and Curtis are around for less than a third of the film. But they make their moments count, as do Masur and Ebersole. Souther offers an affecting mix of wistful regret and resigned serenity in his small role. Cinematographer Paul Elliott, costumer Shelley Komarov and production designer Charles Rosen do a bang-up job of evoking early 1970s period flavor without letting it get in the way of the story. Well-chosen top-40 tunes from the era are used effectively. Given the current '70s nostalgia, pic's soundtrack could click on the charts. To offer "My Girl 2" the highest possible praise: It doesn't make one fear the prospect of a "My Girl 3."

JoCo mom reaches legal settlement with City of Mission after arrest caught on dashcam video
MISSION, Kan. - The City of Mission has agreed to a confidential settlement with an Overland Park woman who sued after a police dashcam video captured her controversial arrest.
Catrina Engle's arrest in March 2013 outside a Mission post office became highly-publicized after her husband posted it on YouTube.
The video showed two police officers push Engle to the parking lot pavement and put her in handcuffs.
The police had received a call from postal employees, who said Engle was yelling obscenities in the lobby and throwing rocks in a mail slot.
Engle's side of the story: she was trying to mail packages at a self-serve kiosk and having an argument with her husband on the phone. Meantime, her young daughters were running throughout the lobby and responsible for the rock episode.
Engle filed a federal civil suit against the police officers, the police chief and the City of Mission. She argued the police had violated her constitutional rights, conducted an invasive search along a busy road, and emotionally traumatized her kids, who watched the incident from the family minivan.
The lawsuit asked for $1.75 million in compensatory damages and $1.75 million in punitive damages.
The parties quietly reached the confidential settlement in June. Engle declined an interview with 41 Action News, saying she is ready to move on.
"Catrina Engle hopes her pursuit of the claims asserted in the lawsuit will force all cities and law enforcement to learn they must consider and respect the rights of all citizens with whom they interact, especially those who have been accused of some wrongdoing without any proof presented to police other than another person's word," read a statement from Engle's attorney, Andy Protzman. "The trauma of these events has taken a toll on the family, and they look forward to focusing on the healing process and moving on with their lives."
Engle already won a legal victory last November, when she successfully appealed convictions of disorderly conduct and interfering with an officer. Both parties said they were legally bound from discussing details of the settlement.
Mission's mayor and city administrator referred calls to legal counsel. A secretary told 41 Action News the attorney was out of the office all week.
Rafe Foreman, a law professor at UMKC, said both sides are likely obligated to confidentiality because of terms agreed to with the city's insurance company.
Foreman, who has extensive background with lawsuits against police departments, said it is likely taxpayers are only on the hook for the policy deductible (plus any premium increase when a policy is renewed).
The law professor said insurance companies don't want dollar amounts disclosed to prevent motivation for other people to file lawsuits.
"If I'm sitting at home watching the news and see that someone got $100,000, and I've had an encounter with a police officer that I think was worse, I'm probably going to call a lawyer," Foreman said.
However, Foreman said he is a big advocate of municipalities demanding transparency so taxpayers can get a full picture of any legal settlements.

Revision as of 17:07, 21 November 2012
I have had a Myth box made up of old parts for a while now, I built it to try out an old TV capture card that a friend of mine was about to throw out. The SD recording straight from the cable worked really well, and I actually found myself using it quite a lot as we don't have any other recording devices in the apartment. I have a couple of major problems with it though, firstly, because the system was made of old parts, videos don't playback very smoothly. Secondly, the system has a very low WAF, without a remote and some of the setup being a little unreliable, if something needed to be recorded I would always be the one setting it all up.
So after I was happy that everything was working close to how I wanted. I decided to invest some money in a purpose built system, that for the time being at least, is based around the same old capture card.
Case: Antec Fusion Remote Black
Power Supply: OCZ StealthXStream 500W
Motherboard: Asus M3N78-EM (GeForce 8300 with HDMI out)
CPU: AMD Athlon II X2 7850 Black Edition (Dual Core 2.8GHz)
CPU Fan: Arctic Cooling Alpine 64
Memory: Kingston ValueRAM 2GB DDR2-800
Hard Drive 1: Western Digital 40GB IDE
Hard Drive 2: Western Digital Caviar Green 1TB SATA
Optical Drive: LG DVD-ROM Super Multi
Capture Card: Hauppage HVR-2250
Screen: Dell 24" Monitor
Operating System: Mythbuntu 12.04 LTS
The build went quite well, with the combination of the power supply, case and motherboard. There was a couple of tricky bits, attaching the 4-pin 12V ATX connection was a stretch as the cable out from the PSU and connector on the motherboard were on completely opposite sides (I may try to get an extension at some point and run the cable around the edges. Also the IDE connector on the motherboard faced sideways on one side of the motherboard rather than up, and because of the chamber structure of the case it was a bit tight getting the IDE hard drive connector in with out removing the motherboard again. Everything else went very well, the motherboard has all the necessary connectors for the case's front ports and extras (audio, USB, LCD and IR). I still need to tidy up the cables a little bit to ensure they don't interfere with the fans.
When I turned the system on for the first time I was happy that even with all 4 fans (2 Case, 1 PSU & 1 CPU) running the whole thing was very quiet, the rubber dampening around the case for the hard drives and PSU appear to work very well.
I had a good experience using Mythbuntu for the old system, so I downloaded the latest release version (10.04 Lucid Lynx) and installed the OS on the 40GB hard drive, using the whole disk. I like the fact that Mythbuntu includes the NVidia drivers (which picked up the on-board 8300 immediately), Samba and VNC server. Next I formatted and mounted the 1TB hard drive to /mythtv, this is where I planned to put all my media files instead of the default /var/lib/mythtv.


text: Corrie set for World Cup clash 12 Jun 2014 Coronation Street is set to go head-to-head with rival soap EastEnders after TV bosses said they were left with little option as a result of World Cup fixtures. Share Share Share Story by UTV Staff, Belfast The Weatherfield drama, which airs on UTV, will feature a double bill on Monday 23 June with the second half-hour going up against the established 8pm edition of the BBC soap which is usually in the same slot.It will be the first time in more than 10 years the shows have competed.Despite criticism for the move, ITV has said it is simply fitting programmes around World Cup matches.Programme chiefs' finalised schedules show Corrie's screenings begin at 7.30pm and continue until 8.30pm - giving the Weatherfield soap a 30-minute overlap with its Albert Square rival.Schedulers on the main channels have tough decisions to make as they work around a range of fixtures in Brazil over the next few weeks.A BBC source accused ITV of "deliberately creating a clash" by extending the show into an established EastEnders slot.But an ITV spokeswoman said: "We have two World Cup matches that day so that's where it is." © UTV Share Share Share

I have been revisiting Quentin Tarantino's oeuvre, going back to Reservoir Dogs; I figured my post sharing my thoughts on his Django Unchained screenplay would elicit the wrath of some of his fans, so I thought it wise to go back and watch all his films again, and arm myself :)
Anyway, in re-watching Pulp Fiction, a film that I consider his best to date, and that he's never quite been able to match, the below scene immediately struck me when I finally got to it. In short, feel free to correct me if I'm wrong, but, given your reactions to previous posts on Django Unchained, I think this scene exemplifies the kind of physicality, brutishness, language, intent, and overall energy that a lot of you were maybe expecting/hoping to find in the Django Unchained script.
Not quite... unfortunately for you.
Granted, Marcellus Wallace just had his butthole plugged by whitey... unfortunately for him. But, Django's emasculation comes in a different form. I dunno... which would you rather have if you are a dude: to be raped like Marcellus or be a slave like Django, in Django's time, and have your woman taken away from you, and subject to all manner of mental and physical violation?
But while Marcellus has the opportunity to "get medieval" on whitey's ass - payback in the form of all kinds of brutal and sadistic ways, done in an air of righteousness - Django doesn't really get that same kind of, shall we say, pleasure, and thus, neither will you... if that's what you're expecting. Django doesn't get to call up on "a couple a hard, pipe-hittin' niggers" to go to work on their plantation masters "with a pair a pliers and a blowtorch."
Sorry... instead, since Django Unchained is labeled an homage of sorts to Spaghetti Westerns, if you've seen enough of those, then you should have some idea of how this one ends... at least, your list of possibilities should be short.

I made the mistake one evening of flipping channels with my husband in the room, and paused just a few seconds too long on TLC's show Extreme Couponing. Though I'd never seen the show before, it was pretty hard not to know about it. And in seconds my husband and I were sucked in. When the families hit the checkout counter with multiple carts overflowing with groceries and their bills were in the single digits, he looked at me and said, "Why aren't we doing this?!"
Thankfully, he knows extreme couponing is practically a full-time job, but I have to admit that I'm waaaay to the other "extreme". I'm a non-coupon-clipper. I'm a sloppy clipper. I go through phases where I'll clip like crazy, and then for months on end I'll never show up to shop with a single coupon in my pocket save the good samaritan who leaves an extra coupon on the shelf in front of the diapers I need to buy.
But when I do clip coupons, I'm a total mess. They end up in my purse paper-clipped or clothes-pinned together, wrinkled and sloppy. But I am a girl who loves a good organizational system, a good method of doing daily tasks. And when I happened to stumble upon these super-cute coupon organizers I thought, maybe I could embrace this wallet-friendly habit.
So check it out–7 totally cute ways to corral your coupons, including a sewing tutorial for you crafty mamas! Click on the images for more information!
And what about you? Are you a coupon clipper? What's your organizational system?

There are many ways you can help children and their families get the care they need.
Astrocytomas are tumors that arise from brain cells called astrocytes, which are a type of glial cell. An anaplastic astrocytoma is a high-grade (malignant) glioma, originating from the glial (supportive) tissue of the brain. Dana-Farber/Boston Children's Cancer and Blood Disorder Center's Pediatric Brain Tumor Program provides comprehensive treatment and management of children with anaplastic astrocytomas.
The terms astrocytoma and glioma are sometimes used interchangeably.
Anaplastic astrocytoma and glioblastoma multiforme, another type of astrocytoma, account for approximately 10 percent of pediatric central nervous system tumors.
It occurs with increased frequency in families with neurofibromatosis type I, Li-Fraumeni syndrome, hereditary nonpolyposis colon cancer and tuberous sclerosis.
It is diagnosed using several approaches including CT and MRI imaging scans.
How Dana-Farber/Children's Hospital Cancer Center approaches anaplastic astrocytoma
The usual treatment for anaplastic astrocytomas includes surgery and radiation, and in some cases chemotherapy. The pediatric neuro-oncology and pediatric neurosurgical specialists at Dana-Farber/Boston Children's offer:
The future of pediatrics will be forged by thinking differently, breaking paradigms and joining together in a shared vision of tackling the toughest challenges before us."

Kelly Clarkson is making the most of her newly discovered pregnancy by reaching out to fellow famous females that are also expecting.
On the heels of announcing she and new husband Brandon Blackstock are on their way to welcoming their first child together, the singer had this sweet exchange with pregnant actress Ginnifer Goodwin on Twitter:
@kelly_clarkson We are so delighted for YOU! Congratulations! You and I must have a Mommy date.
— Ginnifer Goodwin (@ginnygoodwin) November 20, 2013
The two surely have much to talk about, despite the singer being very open about her life while the actress has kept things more under wraps.
Prior to the big announcement, Kelly Clarkson told Parade, "My eggs aren't getting any younger, so we've already started trying. I'm totally gonna have a girl. I'm manifesting it! And when I have a girl, you're gonna be like, 'That chick knew it!'"
Speaking about why she was looking forward to being pregnant, the newlywed explained, "Everybody calls me fat all the time, so I can't wait to have a reason, instead of everybody just being a jerk!"
Just how much weight do the stars gain while pregnant? Check out who has talked numbers here:
As for wiggling her way out of the 'body after baby' pressure that is put on many in the limelight, Kelly Clarkson added, "I've never been Gisele Bündchen, so ain't nobody expectin' that! I like to set a [low] standard so people don't expect a lot."
I've never thought of it that way, but perhaps that's part of the reason I didn't worry too much about slimming down post-pregnancy? The leap from being marginally overweight before having babies to more overweight afterward wasn't fun, but it also wasn't a major shock to me or anyone else.
Setting a low standard feels kind of sad, but I can't say I wish I'd been under the pressure others are — it was all I could do to keep everyone alive, clean and clothed in those postpartum months!
What do you think of Kelly Clarkson's comments about pregnancy weight and expectations?

OLYMPIA, Wash. (AP) — Washington state lawmakers say an initiative to legalize the recreational use of marijuana will be decided by voters.
Rep. Sam Hunt, who chairs the House committee considering Initiative 502, said Thursday that the Legislature would not act on it, meaning it would appear on the November ballot.
Speaking at a joint House and Senate work session, backers of the measure said it would allow the state to regulate marijuana use, raise money by taxing producers and consumers and would squeeze the powerful drug cartels controlling the black market.
Opponents said legalization would likely increase marijuana use by teenagers.
Proponents included John McKay, a former U.S. Attorney for Seattle and Charles Mandigo, the former head of the Seattle FBI office.

Alpine start with the Patrol 34
AWESOME Ski/Hike/Travel/Overnight Bag
- Familiarity: I've used it several times
I love this bag, it has so many cool things that are not listed on the TNF website and alot of websites. it has reflecter marks on the yellow zippers, it has a small lanyard in the mesh zippered pocket. it has a water bottle pocket holder, the water bladder compartment holds a 2 liter giggerig hydration pack perfectly. the back part has a removable curved thick plastic that shapes to your spine with a removable aluminum rod which gives it the shape, so that helps your spine. It stays securly on your back, its nice to have 2 big compartments, so u dont lose anything. there are other sleeves inside the compartments which might hold hiking poles or climbing things. it does hold alot i hope the photo shows it, and it can hold a few more things as well. its light, durable, compressable, i do not see anthing wrong with the bag, if you want more space buy a bigger bag, if u want a smaller bag, buy a smaller bag. but this one is perfect. holds skis on the sides-but it works better with the bag being full so its not as flimsy-obviously. water resistant zippers, i held the bad under a faucet and very little got in through the zippers, so it will be fine if your caught in the rain. It comes in 2 sizes, so im 5'10" and 215 lbs and i have the Small to Medium size, i think its a 15-18 inch back. jeffery on backcountry.com was well very helpful and shipped it within hrs of ordering it. cant beat it!
Pretty good...lashings are MEH
- Familiarity: I've put it through the wringer
Switched from an old Dakine Heli Pro to this bag for longer days and multi day tours. It does a good job, but it feels small for 34L. The bag fits incredibly well on the back and I like how it is longer and sits closer to the body. The lashing points could use a bit of work, and the bag is completely missing loops on the underside. Material seems to be incredibly durable and the crampon pocket on the bottom is a very nice touch. Plenty of space for your BSP and layers. I would definitely only recommend this as a day pack.
Holds about everything
- Familiarity: I've used it once or twice and have initial impressions
Very large Shovel and tool pocket. Larger goggle pocket. Removable frame sheet. Love the side entry. Pretty much a great pack. The skins pocket is awesome. Keeps those frozen suckers away from your dry layers or items.
will the bca 300 probe fit in the pocket?...
will the bca 300 probe fit in the pocket? (what is the size of the avy pocket?)
Yes, the front avy gear pocket on The North Face Patrol 34 is way big and will have no issue storing the BCA 300 Probe. Probably a better fit even than the Mammut Nirvana Pro 35.

Is it tough then to kind of step in and direct yourself when you're acutely aware of all of you comedic mannerisms in the parts you usually play?
I think there's blessings and curses. I think there's more efficiency when you direct yourself, there's one less person to give notes to, hopefully. But it's a challenge for people, and I think Lena is really talented at this specifically, and it's a challenge for me to be engaged in a scene and stay focused as an actor while simultaneously downloading notes to make the scene better. Lena's really good at that; it's sometimes a challenge for me. I would really rely on Garth and other people to make sure we were all on the same page and acting in the same movie.
What have you taken from Lena as a director? How is that her strength?
I marvel at the fact that she can just be so present in a scene, which I think is one of the most important things, to have focus and clarity and a connection with the people you're improvising and acting with. So she has incredible clarity, incredible presence in a scene. But at the same time, she's making a ledger of what's working and what's not working. To simultaneously harbor those two very different things is difficult. Usually people's focus kind of wanes or it ebbs and flows, but her I never feel like that's the case. She's a very perceptive, smart person with a very good memory.
You touched a lot on improv there. In "Rubberneck" the dialogue feels very naturalistic -- kind of like you're walking into a real conversation that you're not meant to be hearing sometimes. Are those scenes improvised?
No. Thank you, that's sort of the tone we were going for. We wanted the tone and style of the movie to be grounded in naturalism and voyeurism. And we wanted the dialogue to certainly feel that way, and where we begin and end conversations to feel that way in the sense that you're eavesdropping. Most of the dialogue isn't really about anything on the surface, more about the desires and chest moves that are happening underneath the surface. But no, it wasn't improvised. It was very different for me in terms of making the movie. I've made five movies and this is the only one that was really made with tripods, with a lot of attention to lighting and lenses and camera movements and stuff like that. Because we had a crew and a grip truck and a schedule it was kind of a race. We didn't have the time or liberty to improvise. It was never of interest to me. We wanted things to be as tight and premeditated as possible.
On the genre of the movie: it's the first movie that you've made that it isn't really grounded in any sense of documentary, whereas your other films all short of share that aspect, whether they're actual documentaries or fake documentaries. What made you decide to make a thriller this time around?
I love thrillers. Me and Garth are both huge fans of slow burning, character driven psychosexual thrillers. It's something that really turns me on as a viewer. I would always fantasize about trying to make one, and Garth had been as well. So the opportunity for us just congealed in Boston a little while ago to do it. It wasn't driven by a desire to do something different and non-documentary, it was driven by a desire to tell a story that we'd love as viewers.
It's kind of a subgenre of thrillers that you don't really see a lot of in the last couple of years. Are there any specific thrillers that you're inspired by or that you particularly enjoy?
It's definitely true. These type of thrillers are very slow moving and it's not surprising to me that they don't have a lot of mainstream traction. A lot of people just don't have patience for it. You need to be in a certain mindset for it and it needs to be kind of slow and seductive. Movies along these lines that we both referenced a lot when we were writing this movie are movies like "Cache" by Haneke, "Bubble" by Steven Soderbergh, "Morvern Callar" by Lynne Ramsey. Those are all kind of moody, atmospheric, character driven stories with thrilling components but they're not a thriller with a capital T. There's not a lot of blood and gore. And those are the type of thing that interested us.
It's funny that you mentioned "Bubble," since lately lots of Soderbergh's thrillers are kind of set in the same medical, scientific world as "Rubberneck." Which is one of the most distinctive things about it, the lab setting, which I thought really added to the creepiness and tone. How did you decide to set it in a research lab?
We definitely wanted to set it in a lab. As I mentioned with the dialogue, we were hoping a lot of the tension and relationships in the movie would happen below the surface. There's a lot of repressed desires, unspoken feelings. We felt a scientific laboratory would complement that because it's just a very cold and sterile environment. Everything is white and clean on the surface, but below it there are humans who are sloppy and sexually charged and full of anger and desire pulsing beneath the lab coats. So there's this sort of really inherent tension that we felt the scientific environment really compliments.
It adds a lot of great moments that shouldn't be creepy but really are, whether it just be the general room tone or that quick shot of Paul rocking back and forth and petting the guinea pigs.
I hope so. There's also something inherently menacing about a guy in a white lab coat with issues holding a needle with like a deadly virus inside of it. That's definitely a pretty uncomfortable visual that we tried to exploit.

As a youngster, Shahrukh Khan loved watching Amitabh Bachchan's movies, and admits he wanted to be in the megastar's shoes.
Shah Rukh, 47, has worked with Big B in movies like "Mohabbatein" and "Kabhi Khushi Kabhie Gham".
"The greatness of Mr. Amitabh Bachchan is that you can describe your life span with Bachchan films. You have to see it from the point of view of a guy who has grown up wanting to be Amitabh Bachchan," Shah Rukh said on BIG CBS PRIME's "India's Prime Icon".
"There's your parents that teach you about life and your school that teaches you stuff, and then there's Mr. Amitabh Bachchan, who you just want to be. I'm not saying I wanted to be an actor like him or a star like him. I just wanted to be Mr. Amitabh Bachchan," he added.
Big B is one of the contenders on "India's Prime Icon". – IANSe

Montana State University is preparing to send off thousands of students onto the next chapter of their lives
"This is the biggest, most important day of the whole year when all of these students finally get to celebrate their work for years and years and we get to celebrate with them," said Tracy Ellig, an MSU spokesman.
The bookstore has been slammed with grads and their families buying caps and gowns, and making sure they're ready for commencement.
"We had to make a trip over to Butte this morning to get more gowns because we were running out so hopefully we're good to go now," said Mandi Streich, an employee of the MSU bookstore.
Some students getting ready to graduate say they still haven't really processed the fact that they're about to step into the real world.
"It's knowing I don't have to go back to school next semester, so that's weird to think about, I don't think it has hit me yet," Lucy Fairbotham, a finance major getting ready to graduate, said.
Jake Jabs, a 1952 MSU grad, will be delivering the commencement speech. He'll also be receiving an honorary doctorate from the university.
Jabs donated $25 million to MSU to help build a new school of business.
"All of our commencement speakers really bring something special to the ceremony, but to have Jake Jabs, a Montana native, a Bobcat blue and gold through and through, speak to our students is so special," said Ellig.
With less than 24 hours left until graduation, students and faculty alike are looking back on what they've done, and ahead towards their futures.
"I've been in school since I was five and I haven't stopped and I'm 22 now and it's just crazy," Fairbotham said.
"We just hope that they really take all the lessons they've learned from college and apply them to be the best that they can be," Ellig said.
The first graduation ceremony begins at 9:00 a.m. at the Brick Breeden Fieldhouse. The second commencement ceremony starts at 1:30 p.m.

The standard in warmth, comfort, and luxury – mink fur is a reliable, ideal choice of fur you should wear. Mink coats and mink hats traditionally are the fashionable fur of choice to provide essential warmth and comfort during the winter season.
Wearing Mink Fur Coats in Washington D.C.
Our collection of mink coats and vests go with any outfit you own. Their colors – ranging from dark brown to a warmer brown – complement a more traditional outfit tailored for the upscale lifestyle. Mink fur coats tend to have a shorter and thicker fur that will stay on the coat and keep you warmer for many years to come. While our many fur types are all unique, only the mink coats, mink hats, and mink vests provide a durability that outlasts other types of fur coats.
In addition to coats, Rosendorf/Evans provides mink fur vests and fur hats that provide a luxurious accessory to your wardrobe at an affordable price. Mink vests and mink hats complement a mink fur coat; however, hats and vests can also be worn in the spring and fall months as a fashionable way to keep you just warm enough to enjoy the cool temperatures comfortably. When fur coats may be overwhelming in style, a mink hat or mink vest can provide just enough warmth without sacrificing luxury.

Int'l association outsourcing driven by desire for higher quality, not cheaper deals.
Tuesday, 15th July 2014
Source : ICCA
At the ICCA Hybrid Workshop on the Future for Association Outsourcing, held on 4th July during ICCAs annual Research, Sales and Marketing Programme in Amsterdam, it was found that associations and suppliers were not always in alignment when thinking about this topic, but that it was a critical, complex issue that all meetings industry suppliers need to understand better.
The panel interacts with the online audience during the Hybrid Workshop.
Involving pre-workshop online interviews and surveys, live interaction with over 300 online participants in 43 countries (including a deliberately-scheduled ICCA workshop in Thailand and a dozen other online hubs where ICCA members gathered together to discuss the content of the seminar), and input from the on-site audience of 150 ICCA members, the session came to the following conclusions:
Suppliers primarily see outsourcing as a way for association clients to save money.
Associations are more motivated by the wish to raise quality standards, or to make effective use of more advanced technology.
A majority of associations surveyed had recently brought back in-house some outsourced services, essentially to take closer control of areas that are seen as mission critical.
But, despite the above finding, both suppliers and associations agree that there will be significantly more outsourcing over the coming five years, and that competition between companies offering outsourcing will increase. Outsourcing is going to become more important.
A poll during the Hybrid Workshop showed Meeting logistics are not the only functions being outsourced: online marketing, communication & PR, IT and financial services, and of course full association management, or all being taken up and offered. PCOs face competition from Association Management Companies, publishers, IT companies, communication/marketing agencies, and even other associations which are exploiting their in-house expertise by offering this to sister organisations.
What services should international associations definitely outsource: The poll results
Perhaps the biggest mis-match in viewpoints was that almost all associations perceive that there are always some risks to their relationship with members when they outsource services, whilst suppliers did not perceive that this was a risk at all.
Transparency, trust and genuine partnerships are the hallmark of any successful outsourcing relationship, and a transactional mentality is the fastest route to failure for both parties.
The event was especially designed for meetings industry suppliers, associations and any other professionals interested in the outsourcing process, and was sponsored by the Thailand Convention & Exhibition Bureau.
The live debate at the heart of this event was a discussion chaired by ICCA CEO Martin Sirk with association leaders Finn Raben, Director General of ESOMAR, the global market research association, Karen McMain, President of the International Orthoptic Association, and Jarno de Boer, European head of the global PCO company CIMGlobal.
Martin Sirk commented: What is clear is that this is a highly complex issue, with some associations bringing services back in-house, some looking to outsource more, and with more and different forms of competition. Associations which used to be monopoly providers of knowledge in their respective fields are now facing a tremendously competitive marketplace, so are looking for any business model that will help to make them become more efficient, not only within their meetings function. This has massive implications for how suppliers will interact with association clients in future, in that they may have to deal primarily with intermediaries who are controlling more and more of the decision-making. At the same time, associations are telling us that the critical issue is their ongoing relationship with their members: any outsourcer needs to respect this fact if they want to be successful.
Online host of the session was Gerrit Heijkoop of LiveOnlineEvents-HCIBS: It was exciting to see how more than 300 people from all over the world joined our event at the beautiful Westergasfabriek in Amsterdam. Their interaction was very lively and engaging with over 400 messages in 2 hours.
"Luckily ICCA realises a hybrid event is not about sticking a camera into the back of a meeting room, Gerrit Heijkoop continues. I believe it really paid off to plan this online event like a professional TV production with multiple cameras, dedicated presenter and moderator. Afterwards, we were very happy to discover that 78% of the participants stated they learned something they can use in their professional life right away. In the end, thats what meetings are all about!
The Hybrid Workshop lasted 2 hours. It started with an introduction to the topic exclusively for the online audience, then captured the interactive panel discussion live on stage and finally went back to the studio for a Q&A with the panel.

The West Coast Trail is one of the most sublime — and sometimes muddiest — long-distance hikes in North America, a rugged 46-mile trail that stretches along the wild Pacific coast of Vancouver Island.
Once an ancient route of the local First Nations people, in the late 1800s it became a telegraph route, then a lifesaving trail by which rescuers reached shipwrecks on the remote stretch of British Columbia coast.
Today, the West Coast Trail is part of Canada's Pacific Rim National Park Reserve. It's such a sought-after trek that backpackers' access is controlled by a reservation system during the peak summer season to avoid overcrowding.
The trail hugs the roadless coast, winding along bluffs, through thick forest and along beaches. It's not an easy walk in the park. Hikers clamber up and down ladders on some of the steepest, muddiest sections; teeter along seaweed-covered beach rocks; cross rivers in miniature cable cars; and slog through swamplike conditions since heavy rain can strike any time in the coastal rain forest.

Steve Ringman, a Seattle Times photographer, hiked the West Coast Trail last July with four others from the Seattle area, longtime friends who were linked through their sons' Sammamish Boy Scout troop.
Veterans of Boy Scout 50-miler backpacking trips, they've kept up the tradition with a long-distance hike each summer, even though their sons are in or have finished college.
Ringman, three other dads and one son spent six days on the West Coast Trail, starting from the south end near Port Renfrew and ending tired, muddy, but exhilarated at Pachena Bay near Bamfield, the trail's north end.
"We loved backpacking with the Scouts. So we never stopped," said Ringman, of their outdoor "mancations."
"Now we compare high-tech backpacking toys on the trail, drink mini bottles of booze every night, and have a blast trying to overcome some pretty good challenges — the West Coast Trail being one of them," said Ringman.
Because of its muddy, very rough conditions, the trail was one of their more challenging hikes, Ringman said. And Parks Canada officials caution that this is not a trail for novice backpackers.
But the rewards along the tough trail are many. Days of wilderness wandering to a soundtrack of tumbling waves. Streams and waterfalls cascading down to the ocean, with seabirds wheeling above and whales spouting offshore. And warming up around beach campfires at night, with friends sharing tales of the day's hike and of life.

IDF Lieutenant Colonel Dov Harari killed in border skirmish with Lebanese army Tuesday; another commander seriously wounded. Troops stepped into planned ambush, army says

Latest Update: 08.03.10, 18:28 / Israel News

According to earlier reports, two Lebanese soldiers and a Lebanese journalist died in the border clash.
The incident took place midday Tuesday while IDF troops were operating in a border-area enclave in Israeli territory. The Lebanese army charged that Israeli soldiers crossed into Lebanon and said it opened fire at the troops. IDF forces responded shortly thereafter with artillery and tank fire.
'Speaking at a press briefing, Major General Gadi Eisenkot said Israeli troops encountered a "planned ambush" by Lebanese forces.
"It was a planned ambush by a sniper unit…this was a provocation by the Lebanese army," he said. "We view this fire was a highly grave incident. Our forces responded at once, and immediately after that we resorted to artillery and gunship fire."
The wounded Israeli soldier is 30-year-old reservist Captain Ezra Lakia, who was evacuated by helicopter to Haifa's Rambam hospital. Emergency room director Shlomi Israelit told Ynet that the soldier "suffered wounds to his chest area and to his left arm."
"Apparently, he suffered shrapnel wounds from yet to be determined arms," he said."

According to Dr. Israelit, the wounded soldier was conscious when he arrived at the hospital and even spoke to his relatives on the phone. However, a CT scan showed that the damage he suffered was worse than expected, as the shrapnel damaged internal organs.
Hospital officials said the soldier was taken to the operation room in serious condition.
Lieutenant-Colonel Ilan Dikstein, deputy commander of Brigade 769, supervised over the IDF soldier's activity from Mitzpe Idan, near Kibbutz Misgav Am.
"Suddenly we heard a sound, and it was clear that it came from the Lebanese side of the border – accurate fire. The company commander (Lakia) was the first one hit; the battalion commander (Harari) leaned over to see what had happened and was hit by a bullet," Dikstein said.
"(The attack) caught us by surprise," he added.

What Not to Eat Before a Workout
Exercise isn't always pretty. While it can make you look and feel like a million bucks, healthy eating and intense exercise can bring about side effects that are less than comfortable and less than glamorous. If you are an avid runner, you may be familiar with digestional cramping brought on by exercise. Gas, bloating and cramping can be made worse by what you eat before you set out for your workout. What you eat can also effect your energy, the effectiveness of your workout and the, ahem, air quality for fellow gym go-ers.
Here are 6 foods that, while mostly healthy, should not be eaten before exercise for a more comfortable workout.
Hummus– Beans and bean based foods like hummus can create a lot of gas and bloating in your system. While beans, beans, they're good for the heart, avoid clearing out the cardio room 10 minutes into your treadmill session by saving them for later.
Green bananas and raw veggies– As long as you are ditching the healthy hummus dip, avoid the raw veggies you eat with it as the 1-2 gas punch to your gut will leave you doubled over in pain. Raw veggies and under ripe fruit, like green bananas, up the gas factor in your stomach. While cooked veggies can still make you a little gassy and should be saved for after exercise, ripe bananas make a great pre-workout snack. Green bananas are tough to digest, but ripe, soft bananas are perfect.

There's a reason Michael Jordan's globally recognized logo is of him as a basketball player and not as an NBA executive.
In the latter his feet would never leave the ground.
Yet to an impressionable 23-year-old like Lance Stephenson, MJ at 51 remains cutting-edge cool despite past administrative missteps.
He is the hoops yardstick in virtually every way, and it will be this way as long as we have easily accessible film footage reminding us of Jordan the player.
When said yardstick boarded a private jet and flew all the way to Las Vegas to try out his best sales pitch, Stephenson was going to listen.
Stephenson signed early Wednesday morning to be a member of Jordan's Charlotte Hornets for no less than the next three seasons.
One NBA icon (Indiana Pacers president Larry Bird) snubbed. Another icon (Jordan) thrilled.
Indiana's extremely generous contract offer of five years for $44 million equates to $8.8 million per season. Compare this to the $9 mil Stephenson will pocket annually in Charlotte and, yes, it's beyond puzzling.
My feeling is Stephenson would still be with the Pacers if anyone other than Jordan was the Hornets owner.
Understandably intoxicated by the MJ aura, the versatile 6-foot-5 guard/forward opted for the teal-coated upstart franchise rather than stay with the Pacers, a legitimate title contender with Stephenson in the lineup.
Give Jordan credit. He played his strength and won.
Give Stephenson credit. Sensing his ear-blowing ways were rubbing a growing percentage of Pacers fans and teammates the wrong way, he opted for a change of scenery and still netted a substantial pay increase.
Give the Pacers credit.
They presented a contract
offer that was more than fair to an erratic and temperamental four-year veteran who has never been an NBA All-Star, but lost out.
Instead of continuing to play alongside a budding superstar like Paul George, Stephenson now gets to start in the backcourt with Hornets point guard Kemba Walker and drop entry passes to 6-10 center Al Jefferson.
A No. 8 seed in last season's Eastern Conference playoffs, expect Charlotte to improve to 7 or 6 status with Stephenson on the roster.
But no higher.
Indiana, meanwhile, can either insert newly acquired 6-6 swingman C.J. Miles into Stephenson's old starting spot or come up with a different plan.
Anticipate George's game and reputation to step forward in a big way in 2014-15 with Stephenson gone. Still the Pacers will have a hard time living up to the product responsible for two straight Eastern Conference Finals appearances.
Part of me is happy for Stephenson, but I feel for Bird. French Lick's favorite son poured more patience and loyalty into Stephenson than others in his position would have.
It was a strange union, all right — the country kid from southern Indiana steadfast in his belief of the ticking time bomb from the streets of New York City.
I remember walking by the large window at the north end of Bankers Life Fieldhouse last summer, the one that with blinds open allows passers-by to see the practice court used by the Pacers and the WNBA's Indiana Fever.
The gym on this day had only two occupants — a sweat-coated Stephenson, who was tirelessly releasing perimeter jump shots from various points on the floor, and Bird, seated in a folding chair with arms crossed and not saying a word.
Through good times and bad, inside gyms noisy and silent, Bird always had Lance's back.
It will be interesting to see if Jordan does, too.

Time Shall Not Mend is one in a series of Harry Potter slash crossover fanfic e-books by the author A.J. Hall.
Summary from the author: "A thousand years away and half across the galaxy a bereaved young woman stalks through a cocktail party thinking: "Anywhere but here". Meanwhile, back on Earth and in the dying days of the struggle against Voldemort a plague has been unleashed on the wizarding community. A potion to cure it exists - but a crucial ingredient is a plant which grows only on a remote mountain in Scotland. And that mountain has an almost impenetrable defence around it. Worlds are about to collide. Time Shall Not Mend is a cross-over between the Harry Potterverse and the Vorkosigan novels of Lois McMaster Bujold. No profit is being made, and no infringement of rights intended, by this work. This work was conceived as a birthday tribute to E.H. Smith, whose trilogy Marks and Scars, Without Enchantment, and No Great Magic first crossed the Vorkosiverse with the Potterverse, to stunning effect."

After grabbing coverage of Wimbledon through 2013, ESPN is in talks with the USTA to televise the final Grand Slam of the year, the US Open. No agreement has been reached yet.
Cable channel USA Networks, which has televised the major for years, will be ending their coverage after this year.
Does that mean we won't have any more of roving reporter Michael Barkan's awkward and, frankly, embarrassing celebrity interviews? Awwww....

Melanie N. Cross
Although the sweltering temperatures over the past few weeks would have you believe otherwise, summer officially begins today (June 21). And while you're planning those long weekends at the beach and those backyard barbecues, the Tulane Cancer Center reminds you that overexposure to the sun can greatly increase your chances of getting skin cancer.
There are some simple, preventive techniques you and your family can use daily to reduce your risk in the sun.
"Most people think about sun protection only when they are planning a full day outdoors, but exposure to the sun adds up day after day and can happen at any time," says Alan Lewis, associate professor of dermatology and the Tulane Cancer Center's director of Mohs micrographic surgery.
Participating in skin cancer screenings is a great way to take charge of your health, Lewis says.
The Tulane Cancer Center offered free skin cancer screenings to the public in May, Skin Cancer Awareness Month.
"Of 125 screenings performed last month, 30 patients had suspicious lesions and were scheduled for biopsies," Lewis says.
"Of those, 15 of these came back negative for cancer; these patients had non-malignant lesions that may or may not have required further treatment. The other 15 were positive for skin cancer, and two had malignant melanoma, an extremely lethal form of skin cancer that can be treated and cured if recognized in its early stages."
He adds, "Neither of these patients was aware they had malignant melanoma. They are very fortunate they were screened when they were. If these cancers had not been detected in their early stages, they could have developed into more invasive forms of the disease, which can be fatal."
Several of the patients who tested positive for less severe forms of skin cancer -- basal and squamous cell cancers -- were scheduled for Mohs micrographic surgery, a highly specialized outpatient procedure performed at Tulane and a few other medical centers in the United States.
During the Mohs procedure, the physician removes a thin layer of tissue at the bed of the cancer. This tissue is sectioned into very thin slices and examined under a microscope for the presence of cancer cells. If cancer cells are found, the doctor repeats the procedure in stages until no cancer cells remain.
"Mohs helps us to conserve normal tissue and therefore decreases the complexity of the repair, and it offers a higher cure rate than standard excision," says Lewis who completed an accredited Mohs fellowship.
The following steps from the American Cancer Society will help protect you and your family from the negative effects of exposure to the sun:
The Tulane Cancer Center will offer additional free skin cancer screenings later this summer.

STEPHENSON COUNTY (WIFR) -- The changing temperatures may be more brutal for Sensata workers, who plan to sleep outside until Mitt Romney give them his time.
About 20 workers have set up a tent city dubbed "Bainport" across from the Sensata plant, which is shipping jobs to China by the end of the year. They plan to stay put until Presidential Candidate and Former Bain Capital CEO Mitt Romney intervenes. They've been trying hard to get his attention. They've collected 35,000 signatures and even sent some workers to the Republican National Convention in Tampa.
The Bainport Campsite is in the Stephenson County Fairgrounds. Workers are holding a barbecue Saturday at Noon. It's open to the public.

"Silver Rush": Deep-sea treasure quest three-part series premieres Feb. 24
The three-part Discovery Channel series "Silver Rush" debuts with back-to-back episodes airing from 7 to 10 p.m. Tuesday, Feb. 24.
Details on the series, provided by Discovery Channel, are as follows:
This past summer, Discovery Channel cameras rolled as the world's best-known deep-sea recovery team, Odyssey Marine Exploration (OME), successfully recovered approximately 48 tons of silver bullion from the SS Gairsoppa – making it the deepest and heaviest cargo recovery in history.
SILVER RUSH, a new three-episode series narrated by Mike Rowe, tells the story of one of the greatest deep-sea treasure quests of all time. The series will take viewers on board Odyssey's flagship, the Odyssey Explorer, as it launches its most audacious operation ever — locate and excavate three shipwrecks worth as much as a billion dollars all in one season.
In 2007, Discovery Channel was there as OME hit the jackpot with the discovery of the "Black Swan," a Colonial-era site with 17 tons of silver and gold worth hundreds of millions of dollars. However, after a five-year legal battle, Odyssey was forced to hand over the treasure to Spain, one of the nations that claimed the treasure. The ruling delivered a devastating blow for OME founder/CEO Greg Stemm and the company's anxious investors. "You have to be willing to go through years of very difficult situations with your eye on the prize long term," Stemm said.
Undaunted by the "Black Swan" outcome, the Odyssey team sets their sights on three new projects including:
• SS Mantola, an ocean liner sunk in 1917 in 8,000 feet of water off the Irish coast, with a silver cargo worth an estimated $20 million.
• HMS Victory, the flagship of the royal navy located in the English Channel, that was lost in 1744 and may have carried a billion dollar load of gold.
• SS Gairsoppa, a freighter that was torpedoed in 1941 off the coast of Ireland, purported to have silver bars potentially worth $200 million dollars. The catch? This shipwreck lies deeper than the Titanic at nearly three miles below the surface of the North Atlantic.
If the historical records are right, and Odyssey can find and recover the valuable cargoes in extreme conditions, the payoff could make the "Black Swan" loss look like pocket change. But will they be able to complete the entire recovery effort in just 90 days before punishing storms roll in?
SILVER RUSH is produced for Discovery Channel by JWM Productions, LLC. Craig Coffman serves as executive producer for Discovery. For JWM Productions, LLC, Executive Producers are Philippe Denham, Jason Williams and William Morgan. To learn more, go to www.discovery.com.

Green mucousy stool after 2 month immunizations (has been 3 wks). Has this happened to anyone else?
Some blood was also noted in the stool on a few occasions so our ped is looking for food allergies and I am on an elimination diet as I am breastfeeding, but the timing coincided exactly with our baby's immunizations so I am not sure that we are on the right track with the elimination diet.

Did your child get the rotavirus vaccine at that time? It's an important, however "live attenuated" vaccine, meaning he might be shedding it in his poop. My son had a mild reaction, lots of frequent, slightly greener poop for about 2 weeks afterwards - no harm, but a change. Frequent handwashing is important, because a small amount of the virus is in the stool.posted 10/23/2010 by a BabyCenter Member
My first son who is 2 yo now got blood in stool right after his 18 month shot. It is te same hots they give him at 2 4 and 6 months. A few month later he was diagnos with Crohn's disease. My 2nd son got his 2 month shot last week and the next day his poop had blood and mucus in it and still does a week later. Why would both my sons get blood in their stool shortly after immunasation? I wish I knew which one caused it. Any ideas?posted 05/18/2015 by a BabyCenter Member
My baby had his 4 month shots on Tuesday and on Friday started to have green mucousy poos, going more frequently too. He has had eczema so I have been off dairy for 6 weeks now so I think it must be a reaction to the shots. He is straining to go too which is new. Going red in the face when pushing.posted 04/18/2015 by oreillymaeve
cat,ny--Please don't give your baby anymore vaccines. Please. Go to GenerationRescue.org and read the articles and what other parents have to say. You carried your precious baby for months inside you--it's your decision whether to vaccinate. NOT THEIRS! Don't be bullied. My comment is of concern for children and their wellbeing. I have read so many sad true stories. I think you should just go with my child is one of the children who has reactions and cannot have vaccines... Be done with them. Find a different Pediatrician or better yet, just go to GP when you need emergency care. You don't need to be told how to nurture your child by the medical establishment.posted 03/12/2010 by Cass14
Whoa those of you not vaccinating your children should check out the death rates of young children because of these things they are vaccinated for now before they developed the vaccination, these shots save millions of babies you should be thankful they are available . My baby has mucus in her stools and has not had vaccinations yet. I think it is an allergy to baby cereal.posted 07/09/2013 by Destiny40
Basically, babies with weak immune system would have a more sevear reaction. Also, alternative vaccination schedules are a must for the little once. Our baby should of not be given any vaccines until she is 4-6 month old due to antibiotics given to her during first week of life. It takes 3-4 months for GI to get better after antibiotics. Plus if you give baby all vaccines at once ( which they did to our girl), their little body cant handle so much at one time and GI good/bad bacteria balance is disrupted. Bad bacteria grows, live virus could attach the system, GI gets inflamed, stool gets bloody and mucousy, and they suffer from allergic colitise, milk allergies, and reflux. Thats what happened to our little girl. I feel terrible for listening to our original doctor and causing our baby pain and discomfort. In US you always have to question medical system and its representatives. My lesson was learned hard way. Good luck!posted 10/02/2012 by a BabyCenter Member
The day after 2 months immunization our little girl started having a mucousy stool with blood in it. Its been two and a half weeks now. There was also drastic change in her behaviour such as sevear allergy to baby products that we used since her birth, excessive gas, random loud crying, difficulty breastfeeding and her sleeping schedule became a mess. She slept one 6-7 hrs stretch for a week prior to the shorts, and it dropped to 2-3 hrs the very next day. Doctors will not admit that this drastic reaction is due to the shorts, but it is. I did a lot of research and spoke with several pediatricians. Most of them will never admit any relations to the vaccines, but its only because there is no extensive study. One of the more experienced doctors confirmed that this is a reaction to vaccine that strips good bacteria from GI and thus can cause inflamation and various allergies. Now my baby girl is allergic to all sorts of things including milk and soy. I am giving her probiotics and prayingposted 10/02/2012 by a BabyCenter Member
People, keep in mind that vaccinations are not just the disease you want to prevent, they are made with numerous substances that are highly allergenic. Plus, the majority of the immune system lives in your gut! However, even babies who don't have immunizations get green mucousy stools from time to time, it's called diahrrea! A little touch of blood now and again, particularly if you are breast feeding isn't all that uncommon and typically isn't life threatening.posted 10/25/2009 by 1976smcc
If one's baby has suffered a reaction, giving further vaccinations is asking for trouble, as it may result in an even worse reaction and quite possibly a permanently vaccine-injured child! All one does by vaccinating is to poison one's child, for no benefit whatsever apart from the financial benefits to the people who benefit from this ugly and brutal racket.posted 09/13/2011 by capricorn45
N just so you know, testing for food allergies is not effective. That will only tell you if the baby is allergic. The baby's digestive system may just not tolerate something. Probiotics (for you and the baby) and digestive enzymes for you will be very helpful.posted 11/03/2011 by a BabyCenter Member

Has Kelly Clarkson Finally Found The One?
August 14, 2012 11:00 AM by Lisa Princ
American Idol alum, Kelly Clarkson has always seemed like the type who does not need a man in her life, or at least that's we get from her music. However, the Stronger singer recently gushed about her new love, Brandon Blackstock. Has Kelly finally found Mr. Right?
While it comes as no surprise that Kelly Clarkson is dating Brandon Blackstock, the American Idol alum is very much in love, according to a new interview the singer did recently. "I think as you get old though, too, you just get less worried about the little stuff that doesn't matter and you focus more on the bigger picture. And, you know, I'm also in love. I'm just super happy right now," Clarkson gushed recently to People Magazine.
Could marriage be in her future? Sure! But for now, the pair, who also share a dog together, are taking their time and just enjoying one another. Kelly also gushed that one of the things she loves about Brandon is: "He gets my job and he gets how busy it can get, and he gets the sacrifices that we both have to make with our jobs."
While no one knows what the future holds for this couple, one thing Kelly reiterated was that they are a "super-real" couple, adding: "like, what you see is what you get," and that we wouldn't see anything surprising out of them.
Congrats to Kelly Clarkson on finding love. What do you think of Kelly Clarkson and Brandon Blackstock? Comment and share your thoughts with us below!
