In systems of oppression, it's common to use words to degrade or breakdown members of the oppressed group. Working to dismantle these systems may involve efforts to reclaim a word. While this has happened time and again in a variety of outlets, it seems like there is never consensus on whether or not reclaiming words is appropriate. I thought I'd spend some time presenting a few of these words and a bit about their reclamation.
"When it's being used as an insult, "bitch" is an epithet hurled at women who speak their minds, who have opinions and don't shy away from expressing them, and who don't sit by and smile uncomfortably if they're bothered or offended. If being an outspoken woman means being a bitch, we'll take that as a compliment."

1) Yeah, it's great to be at the game. But sometimes when you're at the game, you're writing on deadline and blogging and tweeting and getting e-mails and text messages from the office, and looking up teams' all-time Game 7 records (Rangers 3-5, but 3-0 at home and 3-1 since 1974; Ottawa 0-4, 0-3 on the road) and so you miss stuff. Like I completely missed Daniel Alfredsson's tantrums on the bench after he was sat down by Paul MacLean, along with Jason Spezza, for a power play. Holy Franklin Delano Roosevelt, did Alfie lose it. Three times.
2) Sometimes I just think this whole game of hockey is a matter of if the puck goes in the net or it doesn't. I know, that's the bottom line. But it's also how we tend to judge teams and games and play. I mean, if the Rangers had scored a couple in Game 5 playing the exact same game they played, would everybody have been ripping into their effort, or their heart, or their physical presence? Because I thought they played their best game of the series to that point in Game 5, and lost because they didn't score. And in Game 6, as much character as they showed — and they did — what if they didn't score all those goals in the second period? Would we be looking today at that performance as a clunker? Because I don't think we'd be lauding them today if they played the exact same game and lost if the puck hadn't gone in. You know what I'm saying?
3) And on that note, I said at the time, when the goals started going in, that the Brandon Prust-Chris Neil fight was now going to be seen as the turning point. Well, yeah, it fired up the Rangers … but it also fired up the home crowd, especially since Neil got in a few good ones and then played to the crowd. And, again, if they have that same fight and the puck doesn't go in, are we even talking about that fight. Or maybe we're talking about how it helped Ottawa? You know?
4) The Rangers power play came up enormous for them in this game … after failing awfully in the first period, with John (no goals since Jan. 24) Mitchell, for God's sake, on the second unit. And no matter what happens in Game 7 or any subsequent series, the Rangers MUST address the power play this summer in terms of personnel and plan. 'Cause they were thisclose to being done for the season because of that PP in this series.
5) Anybody else think it's a joke (I know a lot of you do, because you said it last night), that you can drive-by, blind-side, late, head-shot somebody without so much as a minor penalty, and with the league's approval, but if you shove a legit NHL tough guy in front of the bench it's roughing. I know that's not a smart penalty by Mike Rupp, by any means, but shouldn't the really ugly stuff be called if you're calling that? Dave Maloney was right on the radio last night, that it's aasen-backwards. That they call every little ticky-tack hook or hold, or mild stick-whack or a little facewash after the whistle — all the old-time stuff through which, once upon a time, you had to battle in the postseason — and they let all the dangerous crap go. Aasen-backwards.
6) And, seriously, could they get more calls (on both sides) wrong? The Nick Foligno goalie interference? The final goal? Please.
7) Speaking of cheap shots and artists of said cheap shots, Chris Neil should not have been playing in this game in the first place because he should have been suspended. But then the referees just let him do all his garbage, like he always does. He cheap-shotted Carl Hagelin. He got Marian Gaborik three times (cleanly) on his first shift. He got Henrik Lundqvist and Marc Staal (not cleanly). He got a free shot at Brad Richards after a whistle right in front of the referee. He clearly interfered with Lundqvist on the 3-2 goal that should not have been allowed (inconclusive evidence, did they say?). And he threatened to get Michael Del Zotto after Del Zotto lit him up behind the net (Neil stayed down, but didn't miss a shift). But the referees never see any of the stuff he pulls in a game, and don't forget, he has no prior suspension record. So as long as the NHL refuses to suspend him, he will never have a record, so then they can't suspend him. Or something like that. I have a lot more to say about Neil, who should be hearing from the NHL about his threat on Del Zotto (but won't).
8) The result won't show it, but it sure looked simple to me, when they killed penalties (and didn't kill one) and when they were protecting leads, and when they were looking for some forecheck shifts in the Ottawa end: Man, do they miss Brian Boyle.
9) Gotta say, it took a couple of games, but Derek Stepan sure showed up. And Brad Richards had an enormous game.
10) Did you hear/read the Chris Kreider quotes about loving this team? Good for that kid. Showed some of that scoring touch, got the game-winner in a crucial Game 6 as his first NHL goal … and more important, we got a look at how he uses those wheels the way Carl Hagelin uses his.
11) Two more wins for the road teams last night. Home-ice advantage? Try this: Home teams are 16-28 in these playoffs.
12) All three Rangers game-winning goals in this series have now been scored by Boston College products (Boyle-2, Kreider). Which could be a good omen since, in 1994 the Conn Smythe winner who had four game-winning goals in the playoffs was also a kid from B.C.
13) I still don't get how some of you guys absolutely quit on your team down 1-0 in the first period (again), absolutely tear them a new one, top to bottom, crucify players as uncaring, untrying pansies who need to be traded immediately, talk about the coach as an idiot, and even bring up the Sean Avery thing all over again … then go back to being die-hard fans the minute they tie the game, or go ahead, or win the game, as if nothing happened. I don't really give a rat's tail how you feel or what you go through. I just don't get it.
My Three Rangers Stars:
1) Brad Richads.
2) Henrik Lundqvist.
3) Derek Stepan.
Dore33's Three Rangers Stars:
1) Henrik Lundqvist (is there really a question here?).
2) Derek Stepan (FINALLY!!!).
3) Chris Kreider (first career goal).

Oceanside Mayor Jim Wood was stripped of his power to appoint the deputy mayor and dumped from his slot as the city's primary representative on a local transit agency on Wednesday by a three-member City Council majority.
"I'm angry about it, I don't think its right. I think you lose respect for the mayor," Wood said. But, he added, "I'll live through it."
The same council majority — councilmen Gary Felien, Jerry Kern and Jack Feller — voted in January to remove Wood as the city's representative on the San Diego Association of Governments, a regional planning agency.
The move to further trim Wood's authority and yank him from the North County Transit District was proposed by Felien, who said he wanted to "to broaden participation in regional boards and commissions."
Wood and Councilwoman Esther Sanchez voted no.
Also at Wednesday's meeting, Felien withdrew his proposal to close city offices on President's Day in February. He said last week he wanted the City Hall to shut down in honor of George Washington and Abraham Lincoln, just as it does for one day in January to mark the birthday of slain civil rights leader Dr. Martin Luther King Jr.
Felien said his plan ran into too much public opposition.
"We'll take a better look, smooth some ruffled feathers and come back another day," Felien said. He said he didn't mean to detract from King's accomplishments but to give greater acknowledgment to Washington and Lincoln.
"We were kind of overlooking the achievements of our founding fathers," Felien said. "Our founding fathers were kind of being shoved aside."
In pushing to reduce the mayor's authority, the council continued a movement it started in January when — over the objections of Wood and Sanchez — Felien, Kern and Feller passed an ordinance giving the council majority the power to overrule the mayor in making appointments to regional agencies like SANDAG, the transit district and the San Diego County Water Authority.
On Wednesday, that same council majority appointed Feller as the primary representative to SANDAG with Felien as the alternative.
They also appointed Felien as the primary representative to the transit district, with Feller as the alternate.
The majority also removed Brian Boyle as the city's representative to the San Diego County Water Authority, replacing him with Kern. Boyle, who works for a company that makes and installs water conservation systems, was appointed two years ago by a different council.
Sanchez called the actions "an absolute insult to the citizens of Oceanside" who re-elected Wood in November as mayor to a third four-year term with 54 percent of the vote.
"You want to strip the mayor of his mayoral powers. Why? Because he beat you," Sanchez said.
In January, Wood moved to appoint Sanchez deputy mayor but Felien, Feller and Kern refused to accept her. The mayor had the authority to appoint the deputy mayor but the appointment required council approval.
The deputy mayor's job is largely ceremonial but Wood said he should be able to appoint someone who shares his point of view.
"If it's so important for you to be deputy mayor, you should run for mayor," Wood said.
Felien said the deputy mayor's job should be rotated annually among council members in a way that no one will have the post in a year when they're up for re-election.
The council majority instructed City Attorney John Mullen to return at a later date with an ordinance putting in place procedures in which council members would become deputy mayor by rotation rather than allowing the mayor to make the appointment.
"That will then allow everyone the chance to be deputy mayor," Felien said. He said such a system should eliminate friction among council members.
In an unrelated matter, the council in a 3-2 vote rejected a proposal to use $500,000 of city money for loans to small businesses with Wood, Kern and Sanchez voting no.
Sanchez said she'd rather spend the loan money replacing deteriorated public restrooms at the beach or sprucing up Coast Highway.
"We're not a bank," Sanchez said.

COUNCIL staff facing a grilling from parents over proposed changes to children's centres have been taught how to deal with difficult questions by an outside body, the County Gazette has learned.
Somerset County Council commissioned a document by public speaking experts The Campaign Company to brief facilitators and speakers ahead of consultations over the 'de-designation' of 11 centres.
A request under the Freedom of Information Act was lodged with the council to determine how much public money was spent on the advice, but the authority said it was commercially sensitive and refused to disclose the amount.
The document – obtained by the Gazette – highlights "hostile" media coverage towards the council's plans, referring to specific articles run by the County Gazette and the BBC.
It also mentions "vocal and critical" comments made in the press by Cllr Mike Rigby (Independent) and Cllr Justine Baker (LibDem).
Speakers were told to reiterate five 'top line key messages' when probed at consultations and given a list of likely questions with some suggested answers.
Somerset County Council defended its decision to hire the outside organisation to brief speakers ahead of the consultations, which are still underway.
A spokesman said: "The council has its own expertise in engagement, involvement and consultation.
"However, this kind of work comes in peaks and troughs so, while we undertake the majority ourselves, at busy times – such as now – we commission support on a case by case basis.
"This has always been the case and is preferable to delaying important work like this because we haven't got capacity, or having too many staff during the 'trough' periods.
"In this case the support is to prepare and facilitate meetings, gather feedback at the meetings and produce an independent summary of comments raised.
"A very small part of preparing for the meetings involves giving council staff attending the events an idea of the kind of questions that they might be asked so that they can answer common questions quickly and accurately."

The hotel staff are great, both the owner and the young men who work there. They provide breakfast made to order, tea or coffee as well as mineral water refills. The locations is also quite excellent. Close to Thanel but in a more peaceful area The only issues were a lack of hot water (which was fixed) and the fact that the wifi did not work in the rooms. It worked in the common areas for the most part but this is something that should be improved. Great place otherwise.
This place is a sanctuary in Kathmandu. I cannot tell you enough how friendly the staff and family is. We had dinner with the family a couple of time. Beds are comfortable, rooms are clean, public spaces get cleaned everyday. Highly recommend. Power cuts, but that is not the their fault, that is the fault of Kathmandu and Nepal in general.

THREE repeat offenders have been given full Anti-Social-Behaviour Orders banning them from Swindon town centre.
Robert Thomas Donohue, 30, Paul Francome, 25, and Tanya Winters, 32, all of no fixed abode, were given the two-year orders at Swindon Magistrates Court on January 10.
All three had been given interim ASBOs last year but each offender broke their conditions of these orders.
This court result is the latest success for Operation Arcadia - a dedicated operation set up to specifically tackle anti-social behaviour in Swindon town centre.
The joint partnership project was set up in February 2012 and involves members from the Swindon Central Neighbourhood Policing Team (NPT) and Swindon Borough Council Anti-Social Behaviour Team.
It was established after a spike in anti-social crimes were reported in the town centre in 2011 and 2012.
Community Beat Manager for the Swindon Town Centre Neighbourhood Policing Team (NPT) PC Paul Bezzant said: "This operation continues to be a success and I hope that these ASBOs send a warning to anyone causing problems in our community that we will work with our partner agencies to make sure appropriate action is taken.
"We work with all of our partner agencies including SWADS, the Probation Service, the Swindon Borough Council Anti-Social Behaviour Team, bus companies and businesses in the town centre.
"As well as increased patrols in the area we also engage more with members of the local community to build up a fuller picture of the problem and the impact it was having on people living and working in the area.
"Full ASBOs are not given lightly and these were deemed an appropriate punishment for three individuals who continued to cause problems in Swindon town centre.
"I would always urge anyone who has any issues regarding the town centre or who is being subjected to anti-social behaviour to contact your local NPT on 101 or Crimestoppers on 0800 555 111."

If your router gets its IP address from an upstream DHCP server, it can automatically import the other DHCP options (DNS server, WINS server, domain prefix etc.) into its DHCP pools. For example, if you use a router to connect to a cable or MAN Ethernet ISP (see the following figure), you can use the DHCP option import to minimize your router configuration (and make it fail safe from any changes in the ISP network).
To configure the DHCP option import, use the import all DHCP pool configuration command. You cannot select which options you want to import, but you can override them with other DHCP pool configuration commands.
The import only happens when a DHCP reply is received. To force an immediate import, use the renew dhcp interface exec-level command.The sample configuration for the above network topology is included below:
ip dhcp pool LAN import all network 10.0.0.0 255.255.255.0 default-router 10.0.0.1 ! interface FastEthernet0/0 description *** Internal LAN *** ip address 10.0.0.1 255.255.255.0 ! interface FastEthernet0/1 description *** Public LAN interface *** ip address dhcp client-id FastEthernet0/1

Fairfax County Citizen Corps Council Chairman Receives Award for Leadership
Fairfax County Citizen Corps Council Chairman Andrew S. Levy was the inaugural recipient of the Leader of the Year Award from the Virginia Department of Emergency Management. Levy was presented the award at the Virginia Public Safety Outreach Conference on Nov. 14.
The award recognizes leadership on a statewide level for an individual manager, coordinator or council member who exemplifies the Citizen Corps mission. Levy was given the award to recognize more than 1,000 documented hours of volunteer work in 2007 in such programs as Community Emergency Response Team (CERT), Medical Reserve Corps, Volunteer Mobilization Leadership Team, and many others. In addition to working full-time, Levy is also the creator and main contributor to the Fairfax County Citizen Corps blog, (http://citizencorps.blogspot.com), which has been accessed by users in 44 states and 25 countries.
"In between this he manages all of the other programs like a corporate CEO," said Terry L. Akins, volunteer public information officer for Fairfax County CERT. "He is a regular during CERT classes as a volunteer CERT instructor and as a more than memorable victim during exercises. He is a master of using humor to bring home an important training point to the CERT trainees."
Levy's entire family is active in volunteering and giving back to the community. His two children send cards to the military, fire and police departments, and his five-year-old daughter Gabrielle, was awarded the Presidential Service Award last year.
"Volunteering has become a part of our family's life," says Levy. "People from the community should take a few minutes out of their daily routines to help others. It is always a good feeling to be able to give back to your community by helping others when they really need it. Being prepared not only helps you and your family, it helps others as well. After all, you never know when you might need it yourself."
Working directly with the Fairfax County Office of Emergency Management and the Fairfax County Fire and Rescue, Police and Health departments, the Citizen Corps Council brings together first responders and other community organizations crucial to emergency preparedness and the development of volunteer opportunities and training to meet community needs. In addition, the council serves as an official Fairfax County advisory body to promote federal and state volunteer initiatives, enhance services, facilitate the exchange of information, and training and support partnerships.

The 2nd Islamic Book Fair, organized by the Tatarstan Department for Religious Affairs, was held in the Tatar capital, Kazan, on 9-14 June, 2009. The fair took place in the Marjani Mosque, one of the city's most historic. The fact that the fair, at which works by Harun Yahya were on show, was held at the Marjani Mosque was of great symbolic importance for the local population. Because up until the communist revolution in 1917 it had bee a great center of education and the publication of Islamic books. This fair, held for the last 2 years, is intended to restore the city's position as an Islamic educational center in the wake of the communist period.
The fair was attended by Islamic publishing houses from various regions such as Moscow, St. Petersburg, Ufa, Ekaterinburg and Yar Chally and by visitors from many areas. The Harun Yahya stand, which has been at the fair on both years, attracted considerable interest. Adnan Oktar"s more than 30 Russian-language books and 90 Russian-language documentaries have for years enjoyed a wide readership in Tataristan. The most popular and most widespread of the author's books is the Miracles of the Qur'an, 4 editions of which have been published since 2005. Of the author's later works, The Prophet Muhammad (saas) and Never Forget also attracted considerable interest.

I am looking for somewhere to sell physical items that I am posting rather than eBay.
I am having too many problems with eBay and buyers getting refunds even when I have proof of delivery for items.
Can anyone suggest any other method (Aside from selling on my own site)?
You can use FREE classified site to sell your products. Probably, Craiglist would be the best way out for you.
There are many other online websites present for sales that examples they are like Quicker ,OLX,etc
Pre-loved is a free one.
CL ftw always
Rather than Ebay we have many online shopping website like grabmore,shopclues..etc ,you can try to sell your products there.
Yeah, Exactly... OLX is best in all....Go for it..
there are usually groups on facebook for your local area which you can list your items
Craigslist and Gumtree are best sites. backpage, classifiedads, gumtree and epage are some free sites of higher traffic and PR/Index as well.
I have had good success with amazon.
olx dot com and best one is amazon

Los Angeles , Oct 16 (IANS) Actor Russell Crowe will play a novelist in forthcoming movie "Fathers and Daughters". The film's director found him truly suitable for the role.
The 49-year-old's character is a mentally challenged man, who struggles to raise his five-year-old daughter in New York, reports contactmusic.com.
"This is a performance-driven movie, and therefore I couldn't ask for a better actor than Russell to deliver this intensely emotional drama," said director Gabriele Muccino.
"It's edgy, heart-wrenching, and uplifting at the same time. To me, it feels like a classic American movie that recalls the great character dramas of the 1970s," he added.
The role of the daughter has not yet been cast.

Formula One driver Mark Webber's adventure marathon has blown up a wildlife storm in Tasmania, where an event helicopter rotor-blasted a nesting colony of threatened fairy terns.
Teams in the multi-sport event were kayaking near Scamander on the island's east coast when the helicopter swooped to within 20 metres of the colony, according to the group, BirdLife Tasmania.
Event organiser Mark Perry, confirmed the "most unfortunate" incident, which he said was a brief, inadvertent maneuver over a bird sensitive area at the mouth of the Scamander River.
"When the nesting was observed the helicopter immediately moved away, after less than 40 seconds in the area," Mr Perry said.
BirdLife Tasmania convenor, Eric Woehler, said the incident jeopardised the colony's breeding season.
Dr Woehler, said it was highly probable there would be some loss of life among the terns, but the colony could not be assessed without disturbing them further.
"The high temperatures at Scamander during the incident could easily have caused the eggs and chicks to die from heat stress, resulting in low to nil breeding success," Dr Woehler said.
The fairy tern, a small black-capped member of the seabird group, is nationally listed as vulnerable and numbers only around 9,000 adults across Australia.
The Scamander colony represented up to half of all known breeding fairy terns in Tasmania. Dr Woehler said years of local community work protecting the colony had been undone in minutes.
He said a permit issued by the state Parks and Wildlife Service specifically called for the protection of beach-nesting birds to prevent just such an event.
A spokesman for the state Department of Primary Industries, Parks, Water and the Environment said it was taking the report very seriously, and monitoring the site to determine any impact.

COMSOL compatibility version 4.0 vs. 4.3
I have been using COMSOL 4.0 until recently (I know it's pretty old but I had no complaint with 4.0) for a microfluidic fuel cell application.
Two weeks ago, the license finally expired and I had to install a new 4.3 in my computer. So I ran an old case that was originally created by 4.0 version to see if there is any issues. The convergence was fine and it looked totally OK until I investigated the results: the currents produced were far off from what I typically got using 4.0. I double checked everything in my setup and could not find anything wrong. Basically, I didn't change any settings/parameters but simply ran the old case files in the new version. Here is a list of modules used in my model:
-. Secondary Current Distribution
-. Free and Porous Media Flow
-. Transport of Diluted Species
Has anyone experienced this weird behavior between different versions of COMSOL? Does anyone know how to resolve this issue?
Your comments will be greatly appreciated.
thanks in advance,

Re: COMSOL compatibility version 4.0 vs. 4.3
I never rerun older version, but I build them up fresh in the new version. Furtherore I rather trust the later versions, until proven the contrary ;)
For me this is particularly the case for a "0" subrelease as these tend to be not that stable or have some typos in them this is ageneral rule I apply to all my software in use
Good luck

AFTER waving goodbye to the 2013/14 season last Saturday, it's time to take a look back at Mark Cooper's squad, and how they performed over the campaign.
Wes Foderingham – 8 (out of 10) ANOTHER superb season – and it would be a surprise if he was still at Town next season.
Nathan Thompson – 8 ONE of the most consistent performers, he needs to be made full-time captain next season.
Nathan Byrne - 6 AN inconsistent year for the full-back. Lost at sea when defending, should just concentrate on being a winger.
Massimo Luongo – 7 AFTER a good first half of the season, the midfielder tailed off in the latter months of the campaign.
Grant Hall – 5 THE Spurs loanee formed a decent partnership with Darren Ward early on, but his inexperience cost points on more than one occasion.
Tijane Reis – 5 AFTER a decent first few games, the Portuguese winger struggled throughout thanks to injuries.
Ryan Harley – 5 ON paper, the experienced midfielder had everything needed to be a key player, but he fell short.
Ryan Mason – 6 BLIGHTED by injuries, but when given the chance, showed natural talent.
Nile Ranger – 7 WHEN he was doing what he does best, he turned Town into promotion contenders, but his baggage was too much to carry.
Alex Pritchard – 9 TOWN'S most reliable player. Expect to see him on a bigger stage next season.
Dany N'Guessan – 4 DECIDED to give up around Christmas, won't be missed.
Jay McEveley – 7 SINCE joining in early 2012, the defender has been inconsistent, but he enjoyed a successful 2014.
Yaser Kasim – 7 ONE of the best free transfer deals in a number of years, the Iraqi international was vital in a defensive midfielder role.
Louis Thompson – 7 ANOTHER success story from the youth set-up, finished the season in superb form, key for next season.
Miles Storey – 6 SENT out on loan when he was needed. A natural goalscorer, needs to be trusted.
Alex Smith – 5 DUE to a serious injury the former Fulham man never got his chance.
Darren Ward – 6 AFTER playing nearly every game of the season until mid-March the centre-back run out of steam.
Jack Barthram – 5 A DECENT back-up, played well when called upon, and deserves a new deal for next season.
Ty Belford – 6 UNFAIRLY criticised by the fans, and the manager early on, but showed signs of a decent keeper. Michael Smith – 6 Another to frustrate since his arrival, but he will play a huge part next season.
Raphael Rossi Branco – 7 THE Brazilian-born defender turned out to be a useful squad member, deserves a new deal.
George Barker – 5 Our signing from Brighton in January only enjoyed a handful of appearances. One for the future.
Ben Gladwin – 6 ENJOYED a decent first season in professional football. Big prospect.
Jack Stephens – 8 GENIUS loan signing from Southampton. Made a huge impact, imperative he's re-signed.
Troy Archibald-Henville – 8 MAJORITY of his season was ruined by injuries, but on his returnformed a winning partnership with Stephens.

I am trying to get everything I need together to sell cakes from my home and my biggest glitch in getting ready to launch is to understand pricing. I get how to estimate the per serving quantity of a cake (I am using the Wilton chart) but it is the up selling extras that I am having trouble comprehending. So my pricing questions are a little more specific.
Do you add a price per flower (gum paste or fondant) Do you give people so many free flowers eg first 10 flowers included any extras $2.00 sm or $2.50 lg per stem .
How do you decide which fillings should be standard and which would get a higher price, and by how much more?
Lastly if using a foam piece instead of cake, how would you charge for that?
Do you have any other tips to make pricing more readily comprehended ?
thanks everyone for helping with this!

Topic: New to this site.. my case
In June of 2007 I experienced nausea that would not go away . After about a week I went to my family doctor and he djd blood tests and my billary levels were very high. He scheduled a CAT scan and MRI and an appointment with a gastroenterologist. He suspected a Klatskin tumor after he read the results but was not sure. They scheduled an endoscopy and put a stent in the bile duct to open it up and took tissue swabbings to check for cancer. The stent did allow bile duct to flow and nausea and symptoms subsided some. The tests did not show a malignancy. However the doctors felt that a tumor was causing the bile duct to close off. They scheduled surgery for the first week of August. They removed a 2 cm or so tumor and it was malignant. One doctor told me it was stage 1 and the other doctor told me it was difficult to stage this kind of cancer. The doctor came to me after surgery to tell me they felt that they had gotten it all, but 2 days after came to report that pathology had made a mistake during surgery and the margins were not clear as reported. This was devastating, as they took very little of my liver and the doctor was prepared to do so to increase my chances of a cure. Well, he was still hopeful and told me that radiation and chemo could still clean up and cancer left and he was still positive. I had a 3 week stay in the hospital complicated by serious bleeding and then an unexplained (God's help I believe) stopping of the internal bleeding. After 3 painful weeks in the hospital, I had a painful 3 week recovery out of the hospital. I had lost over 40 pounds since June and was having a difficult time regaining, however I did regain it and am up to close to normal weight at this time . I had 5 weeks of chemo and concurrent radiation. After a rest period of 30 days I had brachy raditation therapy (not paid for by insurance unfortunately), for 3 sessions over 3 weeks ending just before Christmas 2007. The doctor has done blood work and all seems okay . My tumor count is 18. I am not sure if that is okay or not. Hopefully it is. My oncologist has recommended an agressive approach and now is recommending 3 or 4 months of Gemzar. Does anyone know if this is the course I should take? He says if the cancer comes back, it will be stage 4 and I am in big trouble. I am kinda tired to be honest and not sure if this is the right step for me. I have two drain tubes that I flush twice a day and they have not yet been replaced as they seem to flush fine. I have a fungal/or infection on one of them now and it is causing me discomfort, but it seems to be responding to the creme the surgeon recommended. Any input folks? Thanks alot. Jeff

Hey there, time traveller!
This article was published 6/5/2013 (1568 days ago), so information in it may no longer be current.
THE next generation of Canadian Football League stars had their names spit out on Monday during the league's annual draft of homegrown talent.
Well, meet the next, NEXT generation -- three of whom hail from the University of Manitoba Bisons: running back/returner Anthony Coombs, receiver Andrew Smith and defensive lineman Evan Gill -- who are in London, Ont., this week for the 11th Annual East-West Bowl and could very well have their names called a year from now.
"There's an opportunity next year to get in front of CFL personnel at the evaluation camps, but this is really the first test," Gill said, before leaving for London and a week's worth of practices leading up to Saturday's game. "It's pretty big.
"This is your first chance to make an impression, your first opportunity to work with these guys."
What's the old saying about getting only one chance to make a good first impression? The East-West opportunity is crucial because it helps players confirm their invitation by showing up not just on game film, but live and in person during a week of practices and on game day.
"I would say this is a far better opportunity for the CFL than even the CFL combine with those particular players," said Bisons head coach Brian Dobie, who is one of the assistant coaches for the week. "CFL people can spend a day with them, a practice with them... the whole week with them. They can see the good, bad and indifferent, as opposed to having them run through some tests and then they're out in a combine. They're seeing it all -- testing, team, in every phase of a practice or game situation."
To that end, Dobie spoke with Coombs, Gill and Smith about everything from how they dress at the camp to their approach to every drill.
Consider the message received.
"All the guys who are invited to this, everyone knows you can play at this level," said Coombs, a two-time CIS All-Canadian. "You've got to be able to show you can bring a professional attitude with that. I can't wait."
"Anybody can have a highlight tape," added Smith, "but somebody is watching you for an entire week. They can get to know you as a player, your personality and your skill.
"You can't go in there scared and you can't go in like you are the best player there. I like to just keep a level head and do what I do."

PUPILS at a Hanbury school have bounced into its record books after raising an impressive amount for a children's charity.
As part of a national fund-raising campaign 116 youngsters participated in a marathon sponsored bounce at Hanbury First School.
The children from the School Road-based school took turns to bounce for one minute on a bouncy castle, with the children challenged to achieve as many jumps as possible.
The youngster's efforts raised more than £1,700, which is being donated to the NSPCC.
Andrew Payne, the school's headteacher, said: "We were overwhelmed by the children's enthusiasm for this event and from the outset, they were determined to raise as much money as possible.
"Thanks to their amazing efforts, we've broken school fund-raising records and it's great to think that our pupils are helping make a difference to the lives of other, less fortunate children in the UK."
Kia Giles, from the NSPCC, visited the school to present badges to everyone who took part.
"Considering the size of this school, the amount the pupils have raised is staggering.
"I'd like to say a big thank you to everyone who took part."

BERKLEY, Mich. - Amy McIntire has found her passion in making goat's milk soap.
What started as just a hobby for McIntire has completely changed her career path. She first started getting goats milk from a farm in Brightmoor to make ice cream for her daughter, then she and her husband had the idea to try making soap.
"We taught ourselves," McIntire said. "We first started with a recipe off the Internet and we bought a book and we did test batches in milk cartons and tried it on ourselves first, and then when we were fine we started sending it to friends and family and asking for honest feedback."
They started small, but after their first batches were successful, McIntire and her husband decided to start a full-fledged business, which she calls City Girls Soap.
"We literally sat there and said someday we want to work together," said McIntire. "We want to have a business together."
So a month ago, McIntire quit her job as a financial bookkeeper, a career she'd held for 20 years, in order to make the soap full time. She works with Knucklehead Farms in the Brightmoor neighborhood of Detroit where the goats are kept, and makes the soap in her own basement in Berkley.
"Detroit has a lot of green space and a lot of social capital, and a lot of knowledge. This could very much become an economic opportunity for many, many people in the city," said Riet Schumack, the farm's owner.
McIntire enjoys visiting the farm, "It is just my little break in the country once a week without being in the country."
What drew McIntire to the farm was the goats themselves. Their milk, she says, is filled with enzymes that are good for the skin. "There is something about milk, " McIntire said. "It was just a natural progression from where we were and when we did research and found out that the fats, the alpha-hydroxys, the vitamins, all goes into your skin."
The process of making the soap from the goats' milk is very involved. It starts with five main ingredients, including a combination of palm and coconut oil, and of course, the goat's milk.
McIntire then adds different essential oils, everything from lavender to honey oat, to give the soap different pleasant aromas. From that point, timing is crucial: McIntire must be precise about the time she takes to blend the ingredients, the amount of time spent stirring them together, and finally allowing time for the soap to sit before cutting it into bars and packaging it.
In total, it takes six weeks from start to finish to produce a batch of soap. At four batches, or 128 bars a day, McIntire stays busy.
She produces that much soap because demand is constantly increasing. She already sells City Girls Soap in seven local stores like Catching Fireflies in Berkley, and just recently, the soap has been picked up by the new Whole Foods Market in Detroit.
The name of the product -- City Girls -- was inspired by the goats themselves, said McIntire. "Goats are referred to as girls, the does, and because there are two of them, it's plural and then they live in the city. So we came up with City Girls Soap," she said.
And these 'girls' are doing their part to help local Detroit businesses. The hay that they are fed is grown in Detroit, and then the products from their milk are sold locally.
McIntire hopes to continue to give back to her local communities by expanding her business to produce laundry soap as well.
"We are running a business in Berkley, Michigan and we are in our own way giving back to our community [In Brightmoor]," said McIntire. "So we are getting two communities at the same time."
This new career path has allowed McIntire to do something she is passionate about, and it also allows her to spend more time with her family. "Nobody is getting put on the back burner to answer e-mails. I think there are more dinners on the table," she said.

A great-granddaughter of the late Indonesian dictator Suharto could face up to five years in jail after she was arrested in a drugs bust, a report says.
Putri Aryanti Haryowibowo, 22, was found with 0.8 grams of methamphetamine and ecstasy pills in the Friday police raid at a hotel in the capital, and tested positive for both drugs, the Jakarta Globe newspaper reported.
"There won't be any such release (from custody) for Putri," Jakarta narcotics police chief Anjan Pramuka Putra was quoted as saying.
"There are no exceptions. (We're treating her) the same as any other detainee," he said, adding that she could be jailed for up to five years.
Military strongman Suharto died of natural causes in January 2008, a decade after resigning from office following 32 years of autocratic rule.

The Totally Free Children's Learning Network
Select An Appropriate Spelling Lesson
Spelling lessons have been developed on the principal of line by line, step by step learning. Early lessons are shorter and consist of a variety of basic starter words. As the student progresses, both the difficulty of words presented as well as the length or number of words in each spelling list increases.
Which spelling list is right for your student?
Students should NOT be encouraged to work on spelling lists that are too difficult for them. Doing so will likely frustrate and discourage your student. Instead, you should start with the basic lessons, and allow your student to progress at their own pace. The average rate of lesson completion is one lesson per week.
Select a lesson from the list below. Aim low, or below the level where you believe your student currently is. If they do well, move them up quickly, perhaps at a rate of two or three lessons in a single sitting. When lessons begin to challenge your students, you should slow down to the average of one lesson a week. Students should never complete more than two lessons a week, once they have found their starting point.
How do I know when I have found my students starting point?
For Teachers and Parents finding your students starting point is the most challenging part of using . A few rules will help you determine on which list to begin your student. First, can your student easily spell 80% or more of the words on a list? If they can, than you should move them to the next list, if not, move them down. In this context the word 'Easily', means that they are able to spell the word without hesitation, or difficulty. Students who spell the word correctly, but who also hesitate, probably need more practice for the spelling word to become rote, or innate.
Repetition is the key to your students spelling success
Spelling words will first be committed to your students short-term memory. Having the words in their short-term memory will allow them to pass spelling tests with a high percentage of accuracy. However, the goal is to help students commit the words to their life-long body of knowledge. To make these spelling words rote, students MUST repeat spelling activities frequently, and regularly, preferably over a period of one week. As a Parent or Teacher, you may feel that your student is ready to move on to the next list after only a few spelling sessions. You are highly encouraged to have them continue practicing the same list anyway. Remember, the goal is not to get through the lists as fast as possible, rather, the goal is to learn how to spell.

DAYTONA BEACH, Fla. - Police have released surveillance video on Monday in the search for a two women who they say replaced a real diamond ring with a fake one at a Volusia County jewelry store.
Police said the women walked into the Volusia Gold and Diamond on 536 W. International Speedway Boulevard and asked the worker to pull out a tray of rings in early August for a closer look for about 10-15 minutes.
"I don't try to be rude to the customers," the clerk, Diane Atkinson, told Local 6. "She said 'Look, I just put drops in my eyes' and she said,' I can't really see it, can you just bring the tray out?' And i told her, 'I can only bring one out at a time .. .and she started getting loud."
Atkinson later discovered a $54,000 4.78 karat diamond ring replaced with a square blue one.
"Well I've been trained to look for empty slots so everything was full," Atkinson said. "I had no reason to question it."
Surveillance footage was released, showing two women talking to the clerk. In the video, one woman pretends to stretch and slips the diamond ring in her purse. The video also shows the women leaving in a dark colored Nissan Armada.
Police said if you recognize the women to contact authorities or submit an anonymous tip.17373390
Police had previously arrested one woman, but officers contacted the state attorney's office requested charges against her be dropped.

Offense has no answers for Minnesota's Hughes
Hammel has solid outing but Oakland can't complete sweep
OAKLAND -- On Sunday at the Coliseum, Jason Hammel looked like the first-half version of himself, the one that went into hiding as soon as the right-hander arrived here. But the A's offense crawled back into a hole of its own, falling, 6-1, and settling for three out of four against the Twins.
The A's squandered a chance to sweep the season series and extend their winning streak over Minnesota to 13 games, but they depart for Kansas City feeling good about a 6-4 homestand and a four-game lead in the American League West.
"We ran into a pretty good Royals team, a pretty good Rays team and a pretty good Twins team," said Stephen Vogt. "We were able to come away with six wins. That's a good victory for us, especially going through an offensive lull like we did the first six games of this homestand."
Oakland's bats had few answers for Twins' righty Phil Hughes on Sunday, and it came back to bite them in the eighth. Minnesota scored three times off Luke Gregerson, breaking a 1-1 tie and snapping Gregerson's 14-inning scoreless stretch.
Two former A's delivered the damage: Kurt Suzuki hit the go-ahead double, and Josh Willingham belted a two-run homer.
"I don't know how you can be much better than [Gregerson] has been," A's manager Bob Melvin said. "For the better part of a month and a half, I don't think he's given up a run. Probably a couple guys sat on a couple of pitches and got 'em."
Jesse Chavez surrendered two more in the ninth on a rare off-day for the A's bullpen.
"This ballclub has had their way against us," said Twins manager Ron Gardenhire. "They're a very good team and you saw that again today. We had to battle. But finally we came up with some big hits at the end."
Hammel took a no-decision despite holding the Twins to one run over 6 1/3 innings, the longest and sharpest of his six A's outings. He shut out the Rays over 5 2/3 innings in his previous start, and he looked even better Sunday, lowering his Oakland ERA to 5.90.
"This is the best he's pitched, even better than last time out, for me," Melvin said. "The ball was down in the zone, mixing pitches was good, slider was sharper. After the second [inning] you saw a lot of ground balls. That's the way he pitches when he's on."
Brian Dozier homered off Hammel on the second at-bat of the game, and Vogt answered with an RBI single in the bottom of the first. Then, Hammel and Hughes found their respective grooves.
"I've done it long enough to where, keep doing it, you're going to have your couple bumps and bruises here and there," Hammel said. "Today I had a much better feel for my slider, and the fastball command is coming around."
"[The key was] just keeping him nice and smooth and mixing up his pitches well," said John Jaso, who caught Hammel for the first time. "Even if he would fall behind, going to that slider, which it seemed like he had pretty good control of today."
Hammel ran out of steam in the seventh, allowing a single and a walk and throwing a wild pitch. Melvin pulled him at 92 pitches with one out and runners on the corners, and then Fernando Abad worked his magic.
Jordan Schafer botched a squeeze attempt, and Jaso caught Eduardo Nunez too far off third for the second out. Abad then struck out Schafer, raising his season total to 21 inherited runners without letting any score, tops in the Majors.
"Steak dinner for Abad, for sure," Hammel said. "I should have finished that inning."
Hughes completed seven frames and did well to keep Oakland in check.
"Had a good cutter working, using his curveball effectively," said Vogt. "He did a good job of changing eyes, going up, going down. He used his back-door cutter really well to punch a couple of us out. When he's on, he's a good pitcher."
The A's put runners on first and third against Casey Fien in the eighth, but Brandon Moss struck out and Vogt flied to center. Moss went 2-for-28 on the homestand and is 4 for his last 44.

Despite a nearly two-year hiatus, boy band BIGBANG continues to be one of K-Pop's most established and popular groups. Before their comeback this year, BIGBANG made a statement at the 2011 MTV European Music Awards by winning "Best Worldwide Act." The award was voted on by fans and saw the group beating out Britney Spears and other popular artists from all regions.
The group reemerged with their Alive EP, which included mid-tempo R&B-influenced ballads like "Blue" and high-energy bangers like "Fantastic Baby." The set charted on the Billboard 200 at Number 150 despite no physical release or active promotion in America. BIGBANG members G-Dragon and T.O.P in particular have caught the eyes of super-producer Diplo (who produced a track for their duo project titled "Knock Out") and British pop singer Pixie Lott (who features them on the track "Dancing On My Own" for the Japanese release of her second album

All right, here's one for the burly men (and burly women) in the crowd.
This summer, my wife and I bought an old house (1932). We love it, and have been fixing it up bit by bit. One real problem is that the house is not well-insulated... our energy bills are higher than I'd expected. I'm attacking this problem one piece at a time, and next up is the basement.
It's always freezing down there, and I'd like to see what I can do about insulating it. A friend (but I can't remember who) told me there's a new insulation that you right up against cinder block. He/she said it looks like drywall, and you can paint it, but it's just as good as roll-out fiberglass. Unfortunately, I can't for the life of me remember what this stuff was. Anybody got any ideas?

Presenter: Katherine Matsumoto-Gary of Attensity
Title: Natural Language Processing (NLP) and Machine Learning Let Brands Filter the Customer Conversations Flood
Consumers, who are spurning feedback via forms and instead going public with their likes (and dislikes!) via tweets, are driving corporations to rethink Customer Service, PR, IT, Marketing, Market Research, Social Media, and Competitive Intelligence.
With customer conversations multiplying exponentially and new social networks emerging as influential feedback channels, corporations need tactics that let them put their ears to the rail of customer sentiment - in real time. Attensity is applying multi-channel customer analytics that include filtering the firehose that's the social web to uncover emerging trends and issues as seen through the eyes of consumers
Attensity linguist and product strategist Katherine Matsumoto will discuss:
· How identifying relevance is the larger problem - and how Attensity has succeeded in annotating and classifying the entire social web for themes, trends, sentiment, and relevance in real time.
· Why the need for these tools has grown into a billion dollar industry over the past 5 years - Forrester forecasts US marketers alone will spend $4.8 billion on social marketing tactics in 2013 and marketers throughout the world will add billions more to that figure - and how Attensity's NLP technology addresses the emerging challenges that corporations experience in implementing real time customer analytics and engagement.
· What directed Attensity and others in the market to use unstructured data from social and traditional channels to organize and classify tens of thousands of types of conversations into corporate intelligence that answers tough questions like:
-How do I address market need?
-Who are my potential customers?
-Where can they be found?
-What competition is out there and how distinct is my product from theirs?
BIO: Katherine Matsumoto brings passion for (and a soon-to-be-granted PhD in) linguistics to product strategy at Attensity, where she's a thought leader on the Product Innovation Team that's crafting Attensity's roadmap, as well as bringing her rich linguistic background to enterprise knowledge engineering and technical presales support. Leveraging Attensity's mission to unlock insight from massive volumes of social media data, Katherine works with clients like Whirlpool, eBay, Yahoo, PayPal and Nike to transform emerging trends and technology into business opportunities that exceed their expectations.
Previously, Ms. Matsumoto worked at the Center for American Indian Languages. She will receive her PhD in Linguistics from the University of Utah this Spring.
As background, Attensity is an enterprise software and services company that helps brands effectively find relevant, deep insights hidden in the vast amounts of customer data in feedback channels so they are aware and can act upon what the customer thinks about their products, services, competition and brand. Using a patented natural language processing engine, Attensity reads and annotates millions of conversations over web, social media and traditional sources like e-mail, surveys, chat and CRM notes.

TWO people have been arrested in connection with three suspected distraction thefts on "vulnerable victims" following a police sting operation in Worcester.
We reported last week how 38 vehicles were pulled over at Sixways Stadium as part of an initiative to curb the activities of rogue traders and criminals. Officers on motorbikes and in unmarked cars pulled over suspect vehicles on the M5 near junction six last Wednesday in an operation involving between 25 and 30 police officers.
The joint sting involved officers from West Mercia Police and the Central Motorway Police Group and experts from the Driver and Vehicle Standards Agency and HM Revenue and Customs identified drivers with defective vehicles, no insurance, no licence and using illegal fuel (red diesel and foreign, untaxed fuel).
One of those arrested was a Romanian driver who had no insurance after he was stopped by the Central Motorway Police group (CMPG). Whilst in custody he was charged with the offence and bailed to attend Kidderminster Magistrates Court the next morning (Thursday).
When the CMPG officers came back on duty the next day, they found out the man had been identified through forensics as being wanted in connection with the theft of £300 during a distraction theft inside a bank in Ross on Wye. Officers went straight to Kidderminster Magistrates Court and arrested both the man and a woman who had been travelling with him for the theft offence, as she matched the description of a female offender wanted in connection with the same offence.
Both have now been charged with this offence and two other distraction theft offences committed in Market Drayton on February 2 and November 25 last year.
Safer Neighbourhood Team inspector Helen Wain said: "This is a great result and excellent police work by PS 3182 Dean Caswell and his CMPG staff working alongside the South Worcestershire Safer Neighbourhood Teams to tackle rogue trading."

Quintana nearly flawless in seven, but White Sox fall
CLEVELAND -- The mound dominance exhibited by White Sox starter Jose Quintana and Indians starter Justin Masterson on Friday night at a frigid Progressive Field defined the idea that neither pitcher deserved to lose.
Unfortunately for the White Sox, it was Masterson who came away with the complete-game, 1-0 victory.
A fourth straight loss for the White Sox (4-6) came in the walk-off variety, as Nick Swisher's two-out single to right off of Jesse Crain (0-1) stayed just fair down the line, scoring Michael Bourn and setting off a celebration that might have been done to stay warm as much as to revel in the victory.
And while there were a few chances missed on this night by the White Sox, who are 9-for-62 hitting this season with runners in scoring position, all of the credit in the visitors' locker room went to Masterson (3-0).
"That's as good as I think I have ever seen him, just looking at the swings and how guys were reacting to stuff," White Sox manager Robin Ventura said. "He was great, and that's the story. His ball was moving all over the place."
"I was saying that on the bench after my first at-bat; I haven't seen very much, but that's by far the best I've ever seen him," White Sox first baseman Adam Dunn said. "He pitched good against us last time out. But he was throwing strikes, pitching to both sides of the plate."
Masterson yielded five hits over 113 pitches, striking out seven, walking just one and setting his career high by working into a 19th consecutive scoreless inning. But it was No. 18 that represented Masterson's greatest escape act of the night.
Conor Gillaspie, who had two of the five hits, doubled to left-center to open the eighth. Alexei Ramirez was called upon to bunt, but after fouling off the first attempt, he popped up the next one to catcher Yan Gomez. Hector Gimenez moved Gillaspie to third with a groundout to second, but Masterson struck out Alejandro De Aza swinging to end the threat.
"He had a base hit before, but you know [Masterson is] going to be running sinkers inside," said Ventura of calling on Ramirez to bunt. "You're not playing for multiple runs. You just need to get somebody on third and have a chance to get someone in there. It just didn't happen."
"Our problem is we're not getting a big hit to drive a run in," Dunn said. "It seems like it's been like that from the get-go. I know personally I've been terrible. I've had a lot of opportunities to open some games up but haven't been able to do it."
Quintana gave the South Siders a needed boost, marking the group's return to the American League after Washington's Interleague sweep and Quintana's first start since last Friday. The White Sox moved Dylan Axelrod up one day to face the Nationals, meaning Quintana got to match up against a team that he has now allowed two earned runs over 19 1/3 career innings.
Cleveland (4-5) managed just one hit in seven innings and 98 pitches off of the southpaw, a no-doubt-about-it double from Michael Brantley with two outs in the second. He was the only Indians baserunner to reach second off of Quintana, and Swisher, who got hit by a pitch with two outs in the fourth, was the only other Indians hitter to reach base against him.
"That's kind of the first time that I've really seen him in a starting role," said Swisher of Quintana, who fanned seven and was supported by two great running catches apiece form left fielder Dayan Viciedo and right fielder Alex Rios. "He was using his cutter, backdoor cutter, and using his changeup effectively. He was using his breaking balls well -- really mixing and matching. Him and the catcher were really on point tonight."
"It was very important," said Quintana through translator and White Sox coach Lino Diaz, referring to saving the bullpen. "I even thought about it early in the day, thinking I need to get a lot of innings. Thankfully everything worked out that way. I feel good about the day."
Paul Konerko's double off the left-field wall with two outs in the seventh represented the first White Sox baserunner to reach second against Masterson, but Konerko was stranded when Viciedo struck out. After the eighth-inning failure, the game was set up in the ninth for Swisher, the ex-White Sox outfielder.
Ventura had come out to talk to Crain before Jason Kipnis stepped to the plate with Bourn on third following his double, basically telling the right-hander to be aggressive and make his pitches, but not necessarily pick between Kipnis and Swisher. Crain threw three sliders outside the zone to Kipnis before intentionally walking him, and Swisher hit the next pitch to give Masterson the minimal but deserved support he needed.
"Tonight it was all his doing," Dunn said of Masterson.
"Someone was going to have to score to win that game," Crain said. "Unfortunately it came for them."
"In a situation like that, man, it felt like it was 20 degrees out there tonight, so you're not really trying to do too much," Swisher said. "Especially in that spot, it would've been a shame for us not to go out and give Masty that win that he deserved."

Hey there, time traveller!
This article was published 27/1/2013 (1665 days ago), so information in it may no longer be current.
You're not ready to give up on your resolutions yet.
So to continue your 2013 health kick, you're thinking about enlisting the help of a personal trainer.
But with so many options out there (it seems like everyone with bulging biceps calls themselves a personal trainer these days), who do you hire?
Barb Cajas, co-founder of the Manitoba Exercise Professionals Association (MEPA), has pushed for years to regulate the Wild West that is the personal-training industry.
The industry remains unregulated, but Cajas says the public finally understands not all personal trainers are created equal.
Here's what the University of Winnipeg kinesiology instructor and owner of CORE Training and Therapy had to say about the subject:
FP: When did you found MEPA and why?
BC: I think it was in the early 1990s, so almost two decades ago. We did it to give the professionals a place they could call home and to be out there in the public like other professionals -- like the medical community, registered dietitians. To have a presence for the general public so they knew they had a reputable, credible organization where they could get personal trainers.
FP: Since 2011, MEPA has evolved into the Manitoba Kinesiology Association. Why the change?
BC: Primarily to come on board with the rest of Canada. Kinesiology is a more global application of what we do. It's the study of human movement. It's not just about exercise anymore. It's about moving the body, just being physically active. Even in our field, we now know that even lower doses of physical activity are better than nothing at all. Most of the university faculties have changed. They used to be called physical education. Now it's the faculty of kinesiology.
FP: Is it true that anyone can use the title personal trainer in Canada?
BC: Yes. That's correct.
FP: Isn't that a scary thought?
BC: Yes. That basically means anybody who looks good in a pair of tights or workout wear can call themselves a personal trainer, charge whatever they want for the service and offer themselves up as personal trainers. They have no clue of the liability involved. I think Canada doesn't tend to be a litigious society. Even though people have gotten hurt by trainers who don't know what they are doing, nothing ever really gets done per se.
FP: Is there a region of the world that's ahead of the game in regulating its personal training industry?
BC: Ontario now has a Regulated Health Professions Act. Kinesiology is now recognized as a profession in Ontario. And in Manitoba, the MKA is continuing to push for licensing for the field of kinesiology.
FP: What's taking so long?
BC: It's normal government procedure. Anytime changes are being made at a government level, the changes take time. Until then, it is definitely, "Consumers beware." Until then, people need to make sure the personal trainers they hire do have a degree in kinesiology. And in Manitoba, the place to go for that list would be the MKA.
FP: Are you saying we shouldn't hire people who call themselves personal trainers if they don't have a kinesiology degree? Even if they even have decades of experience, along with other certifications?
BC: I wish it was that simple. But I would strongly recommend against hiring them, (because) there's less chance of the client getting injured or frustrated or having a negative experience. There are personal-training certifications that people can get from taking a weekend courses. But if they've never had educational training in physiology, the consumer is at risk. If somebody has osteoporosis or had a recent heart attack or is on certain medications, then the exercise prescription becomes a lot more tricky... Experience is valuable, but it needs to be supplemented with solid education as well.
FP: Have non-degreed trainers argued with you that they have enough experience and smarts to be a personal trainer, no degree required?
BC: Yes. I will not hire anybody unless they have their kinesiology degree and the Canadian Society of Exercise Physiology -- Certified Personal Trainer (CSEP-CPT) certification.
FP: What education should the consumer look for in a personal trainer?
BC: Ideally, a kinesiology degree and CSEP-CPT. The next level up is CSEP-CEP, which stands for certified exercise physiologist. The CSEP-CPT is the minimum standard that people should look for in a personal trainer in Canada. To get the CSEP-CPT, you need to have a minimum of nine (body science) courses taken at the university level. That's a lot of course work taken at the university level.
FP: Should people ask to see these certificates?
BC: In a credible business, those certificates should be up on the wall. And yes, they should ask. There should be no secrets. If somebody's lying about maintaining a certification, the client has every right to know and to not purchase personal training. They can also contact CSEP directly; they maintain a national list. CSEP membership also includes insurance coverage. That's protection for the consumer in case they are injured.
FP: Are people becoming more aware of what to look for in a trainer?
BC: Within the last year and a half, we've actually had people calling to ask if our trainers have kinesiology degrees. That's never happened before.
FP: What's the worst thing that can happen if you train with an unqualified personal trainer?
BC: Muscle strains and pulls are common, especially if the program was imbalanced. But people can get hurt if they hire the right person, too.
FP: How much should a personal trainer cost?
BC: From $50 to $100 an hour. Some companies will sell packages. Make sure you check to see if the package you purchase has to be used by a certain date.
FP: Is there value in group training sessions?
BC: Yes. The person who is running that group will be able to still help those individuals. It will never be the same as working one on one. But they will still be able to keep that program safe and progressive and those people will get to share a cost.
FP: How important is the style of the personal trainer you hire?
BC: Personalities can definitely play a role in your success. Some people prefer a trainer to be more serious and laid-back. Others prefer a more vocal, drill-sergeant style. If a client feels like they are going to be injured and the trainer doesn't give them the sense that they have the right to stop, that's a problem.
FP: Should every trainer perform an initial consultation?
BC: There should always be medical screening and some preliminary work to determine the client's goals and time constraints.
FP: Why are you so passionate about fitness?
BC: I've never had to worry, "I don't want to go hiking because I don't know if I can last," or "I don't want to waterskiing because I'm afraid that I might get hurt." I've never had to worry about things like that because I have enough physical ability. That comes from keeping the body in shape. It's not just looks.
I want to be able to help other people have that kind of power. To help them feel like they own their body they are going to be living in for the rest of their life -- and not trapped.

...Almost sounds like Pittsburgh. Inspired in part by Dyal's hamburger steaks, (Thanks for letting me Steelering your idea, Dyal), I set out to produce a new sportsfood to get my Chargers back on track. Not wanting to go to the grocery store today, I opted to work with what I had on hand, make like a Marine, and adapt, improvise, and overcome.
At first I had a hankering for either my go to favorite meatball pizza or some kind of burger. I resolved to make the patty in a largely meatball fashion with egg, bread, Italian seasonings, and the like. Only exception is that tonight's Parmesan cheese would be external to the meat.
That done, I hit the French bread roll up with some homemade pizza suace.
Didn't have any moozarella, so I topped that with Parmesan that I used for the pork parmesan. Also added a touch of crushed red chile.
Off to the pit for it to do its thing. Finally topped it with thin sliced onion.
Wow and bullseye!--This recipe is a keeper. My goodness, 'twas delicious. The onions kept it in check and balance on the hamburger side, while the meatball pizza (or even sub) also shone through. The beauty of this recipe I see is that it lends itself to adding even more ingredients like bell peppers or mushrooms, olives, etc. Even has something of a football shape, so come on Chargers!

Discussion in 'NFL Zone' started by WoodysGirl, Nov 11, 2012.
Should be a good one...
I love games in the rain or snow! Especially when we aren't part of it
Cutler looks like he came out of the 1920s...
What the hell is with that haircut, Jay?
And the mustache.
Brady James with the fumble recovery. Let the rueing begin.
The Bears looking too finesse and soft out there. Two fumbles and Hester dancing around instead of getting low and picking up 1 yard. This looks like the Texans night
Bears D with another INT...
Will the team with the most TO win?
The Bears taketh and Cutler giveth away..
The Bears d is unreal at turnovers
"Marshall dropped it, better cut him"
-Dez haters
That was an incredible commercial. Touching.
I really would like for the Texans to lose. A lot of my friends are Texans fans and they literally talk more about the Cowboys than any other team. I'd like for that to stop tonight.
Bears offense getting exposed here. Looks like homefield in the NFC will go to Atlanta
That's better for us if we somehow miraculously make it that far
Texans/Bears get way more push in the pocket than our line does. Cutler is getting flushed out every snap.lol
have to admit the texans are a damn good team.
They need Cutler to offset all those turnovers they get on defense
that makes 3 quarterbacks knocked out today by concussions. Vick, Alex Smith, and Cutler.
