text: Show Hide image Politics 14 February 2011 Joy of Teen Sex is a "shocking let-down" Health and education professionals complain that Channel 4's show prioritises viewing figures over r Sign-up Sex researcher and agony aunt Dr. Petra Boynton and Dr. Stuart Flanagan, who features on Radio One's Sunday Sex Surgery, are among the 23 signatories of a letter complaining that Channel 4 and the programme's producers have failed to fulfil their public service remit. Channel 4 have marketed The Joy of Teen Sex, which concludes this evening and has been on since 19 January, as a show that deals with teenagers' "real" sex and sexual health problems. However, the letter describes the series as "fitting a pattern of programme development where viewing figures are prioritised over empowerment but where programmes are still marketed as 'educational'". The group are unhappy that there are not enough qualified professionals on the show, saying that the advice given is inaccurate and misleading. There has been unease surrounding the show since it was in planning stages. Justin Hancock, of sex education website BishUK was invited to apply to present the programme and was assured by Betty, the production company that "our aim is to make a thought-provoking and positive series that will look at relationships, emotions and identity as well as 'the act of sex'". However, Boynton says the show has not delivered on this promise: "I'm always concerned that primetime shows about young people are exploitative and invite viewers to be critical of young people. Sex and relationships for young people is complex and nuanced and factual entertainment shows only ever really scratch the surface of what is going on for young people." "It has not represented the main worries young people have, nor talked about core issues of communication, respect or affection," she said. "Given how the public have questions and concerns about sex and the media is a great place to share relationships information, I feel this was a shocking let down to young people and parents. The public deserve better." Channel 4 have responded with a statement saying they are "proud of our programming in this field" and its "ability to bring large audiences to the often difficult issues they have addressed", "We have a hugely successful Sexperience website which has been consistently a leader in the field and has seen millions log on for further advice or information after watching the programmes. Anecdotally we also know from healthcare professionals that viewers have sought medical advice and treatment as a result of watching the programme". Channel 4 have said they "will correspond with the authors of the letter directly about their concerns". Subscribe £1 per month SUBSCRIBE More

Blood Clot Treatments
What is a Blood Clot?
A blood clot (thrombus) occurs when muscles do not regularly contract to push blood back and forth to the heart causing blood to become "stagnant". At this point, blood begins to coagulate (thicken) along the walls of veins which can partially or completely block the flow of blood causing potentially significant consequences. Blood clots can also form when the lining of a blood vessel, artery, or vein is damaged due to a cut or laceration and may not be visible to the naked eye. This type of blood clot occurs naturally and can best be described as a healing process for the human body. Deep Vein Thrombosis (DVT) blood clots may form in the deep blood vessels, most commonly in the legs and groin, and can block normal blood flow returning from the legs to the heart. Learn more+
Thrombolysis Therapy
Thrombolysis therapy is a medical procedure used to treat patients that have deep vein thrombosis (DVT) in the legs, pelvic area, or upper areas of the body. During the procedure, Dr. Tilara injects clot-dissolving medication into the blood vessel or vein. The medication flows through the bloodstream to breakup the clot; however, if the clot does not dissolve Dr. Tilara will insert a long, thin, guided catheter into the vessel to cause the clot to break up. If DVT clots are left untreated, parts of the clot can detach and travel to an artery in the lungs, which results in acute pulmonary embolism. Learn more+
Inferior Vena Cava (IVC) Filter Placement
The inferior vena cava, or IVC, is the largest vein in the human body and carries blood from the lower half of the body and returns it to the right atrium of the heart. IVC filters are placed when a patient has a history or risk of developing blood clots in the legs or cannot take blood thinners. Learn more+
The treatment of blood clots often involves blood thinner medication to control the clotting process and are chosen based on clot severity, location, and patient medical history. Some of the most common blood thinners are listed below:
- Warfarin (Coumadin) is a blood thinner that blocks carious clotting factors that depend upon vitamin K. Every patient is unique when it comes to the dosing requirements for warfarin, and blood tests are routinely done to make certain that the blood is anti-coagulated to the appropriate level. There are numerous drug interactions with this medication that can cause the blood to become "too thin". Warfarin dosing always needs to be monitored, and a patient should never alter the dose of this medication without consulting Atlanta Vascular and Vein Clinics.
- Apixaban (Eliquis), Rivaroxaban (Xarelto), Dabigatran (Pradaxa), and Edoxaban (Savaysa) are newer anticoagulant medications that have been approved for the treatment of certain types of atrial fibrillation, deep venous thrombosis and pulmonary embolism. They begin working almost immediately and do not need blood tests to monitor their activity.
- Heparin is often the first line drug in treating deep venous thrombosis and pulmonary embolus and is used routinely as part of the heart attack treatment protocol.
Atlanta Vascular and Vein Center is located in Lawrenceville, GA servicing patients living in Metro Atlanta, Gwinnett County and the surrounding communities including Duluth, Dacula, and Grayson. Call 678-878-4555 today to schedule an appointment today.

SEOUL (Reuters) – South Korea's central bank kept its key interest rate unchanged at a record low on Thursday, as expected, as it assesses the effects of government measures to cool the housing market and a recently introduced fiscal stimulus.
A Bank of Korea (BOK) media official announced the monetary policy committee's decision to keep the base rate KROCRT=ECI at 1.25 percent without elaborating. Governor Lee Ju-yeol is due to hold a news conference from 11:20 a.m. (0220 GMT).
All 19 analysts in a Reuters poll forecast the central bank would hold rates this week, but most see the bank tightening policy sometime next year.
"The housing market, inflation and domestic consumption are the key themes for consideration by the central bank, and I don't expect a tightening soon if they stay that way," said Kim Ji-man, fixed-income analyst at HMC Investment & Securities.
"But inflation could pick up over the next month or so, and this could give the central bank an excuse to begin talking about the possibility of tightening going forward."
Markets largely ignored the widely expected decision as traders waited for the governor's news conference.
Measures announced early this month will raise capital gains taxes on owners of multiple homes and impose fresh mortgage curbs to rein in speculators. They are the most stringent on record and demonstrate the government's deep concerns over rampant household debt.
The central bank will also be watching closely for the effects of an 11 trillion won ($9.79 billion) supplementary budget that was approved by parliament in late July. The budget will mainly focus on creating social service jobs.
The BOK has kept its policy rate unchanged since June 2016 and is widely expected to hike rates sometime next year as the economy improves.
There are, however, lingering doubts that the recovery is rock-solid, and policymakers have expressed concerns that gains may be too narrowly focused in some sectors and not as broadly based as…

VP, NDC-X program, Amadeus
Wow, what a year. We've had a bumper harvest of articles and reports trying to predict the future of travel distribution. In this sea of opinions, Dr. Graham Floater's report from the London School of Economics stands out as a significant contribution to the debate. Questions have indeed been raised about capabilities, technology choices, and business models. Some airlines are experimenting with alternative distribution routes, while others are coming back to a GDS or coming to it for the first time. In parallel, travel agencies of all types are trying to navigate through these choppy waters.
As I reflect on our own role within the industry today I am reminded just how much has changed. It was once the case that Amadeus' distribution business was irrefutably a 'Global Distribution System'. Our technology enabled travel agents to book a flight for their travellers, on behalf of an airline. But the nature of travel commerce has since expanded significantly, and so have we as a technology company serving the industry.
One of the fundamental value shifts we have witnessed has been the move from processing demand – executing transactions on behalf of providers, to creating demand – generating business for providers. The GDS has traditionally focused on executing transactions. The world of demand creation has exploded with the need for digital traffic acquisition and lead-generation; shifting the focus from booking to converting.
Of course providers would like all their customers to come directly to them. Who wouldn't? But a consequence of this shift has been an increase in the number of intermediaries between consumers and providers, not a decrease. Indeed it's no longer only about "direct" or "in-direct" channels, but rather intermediated channels. Where consumers can end up buying provider services from a variety of pathways, be it travel agencies, metasearches, digital advertising, search engines … And for these different pathways, different types of technology and services need to be deployed in a cohesive manner. This is where we, Amadeus Distribution, are today. No longer just transacting, but generating business for providers.
A recent relevant example that exemplifies this change is 'Metabooking'. Amadeus technology now facilitates bookings directly on metasearch sites, which improves the traveller experience whilst reducing lost referrals for the airline. It's a win-win: booked by an intermediary yet owned directly by the provider.
And as always we service both sides of our network through this shift. For example, we recently made technology available to KAYAK to deliver highly accurate flight search results in milliseconds
.Instant Search
has everything to do with traffic acquisition, conversion and user experience – enabled by cutting edge IT. To make Instant Search a reality Amadeus engineers have pioneered the application of advanced database functionality from MongoDB.
No customer acquisition programme would be complete without the ability for a brand to advertise and promote itself. Our combined advertising assets ofMedia Solutionsand Travel Audience mean that Amadeus today is a major facilitator of advertising for airlines, airports and destination marketing organisations. We help them target and engage travellers across digital intermediaries, travel agency interfaces and even physical travel documents.
Furthermore, the last few years have ushered in the era of merchandising. By the end of this year we will have seen a 70% year on year increase in airline ancillaries sold via Amadeus travel agents and more than 40 OTAs delivering improved shopping and comparison features to travellers through our merchandising technology. Our new rich merchandising features enable airlines to display their compelling offers across travel agency screens and OTA interfaces.
All this seems far removed from the historic view of a distribution system. So when you stop, breathe, and take stock, you realise just how much Amadeus is doing in the digital distribution space to connect airlines with travel sellers and travellers, and how far gone the days are of being "just a GDS".

Today is the last day of the blog. I hope I was able to expose and educate a lot of people about the Arizona art scene. I know I learned a great deal.

Day 370: Diana Creighton
I use human and animal figures in my work to tell stories and create a conversation in oil paint. The painting becomes a kind of
magic world in which each character takes a turn on the stage.
I use that world to find gesture and expression and to see familiar
things in a new way.
Lately, I've been using a jaguar and bear as stand-ins for various human traits. They
are powerful, but they get distracted, get into scrapes, act foolish and cause trouble.
Sometimes life is too much for them.
The puppets and wind-up toys are their own little community. The world can turn upside
down in a heartbeat, and they don't have much control over it.
In my world, the characters are unconfined and allow me to explore emotions, relationships and cultural themes with a light heart but a serious purpose. I hope each viewer
will find something different and personal in the paintings and expand the conversation.
Diana Creighton grew up in Los Angeles, where telling stories is a major industry. She
graduated from Stanford University, where she studied art and story-telling, taking a
degree in American Literature. In the summer she studied at Otis Art Institute in Los
Angeles, and after moving to Phoenix, she continued studying art at Arizona State University.
She now lives in Oracle, Arizona, a small town with a big artists' community in the
Catalina Mountains northeast of Tucson. She shows regularly in regional juried and invitational shows. Her work is in public and private collections.

I earned my degree from one of the oldest Schools of Fine Art and Design in the nation, with additional studies at The Scottsdale Artist's School. Also in Mesa, I operate an Instructional Studio where I teach in a comfortably relaxed and intimate environment. My work is collected in the U.S. and Canada and has been used by an international corporation for its diverse projects. Several of my canvases were honored with public display at the Capital Building during the year-long Arizona State Centennial Celebration. I have completed numerous large portraits of prominent personalities and I enjoy tackling all other genres, as well. Creating artwork for business and civic reproduction as well as commissions and gallery sales of originals and prints has always played a significant role in my career, too.
Art is fun!
I am a member of The Oil Painters of America; The Portrait Society of America; and a proud co-founder of a successful local art association, The Ateliers Group.
Day 366: Steve Simon
Steve Simon has been painting professionally for 25 years. With a BS in Mechanical Engineering and an MBA, Simon took an unusual path to becoming an artist. Originally from Chicago, the young businessman found himself in his late twenties living in the Parisian artist quarter of Montmartre while working on a management consulting assignment. It was there he made the decision to leave the business world in favor of becoming an artist. He moved to Newport Beach, CA where he opened his own gallery featuring his landscapes and seascapes. Soon he began self-publishing coffee-table books of his art.
Twelve years ago Simon moved to Sedona, AZ with his wife and children where he began painting the inspirational red rock landscapes. Seven years ago he began an ambitious project of painting a collection of 40 great peacemakers. He just recently finished the collection and is in the process of writing a book about the lessons he learned from studying these luminaries.
Most recently Simon was commissioned by the Marriott Corporation to create original art and reproductions for the rooms, villas, and lobbies of two Maui properties and the lobby art for another Kauai property.

Many people want to get into trading to make some quick profits easily. This can be a dangerous way to think about trading, as it does take expertise and there is a lot to learn first. Most people who start trading straight away without too much knowledge are struggling to make money trading forex or other assets online. This is because they all seem to have the same faults. If you are going to trade in the future or you are already trading, but losing money, then this a must read for you.
Know what you are doing
The first advice to everyone, if you are trading or planning to start trading, is that you must know what you are doing. If you don't, you will lose money. If you have taken some course to learn about trading or you have read a lot of about it, you probably have a good understanding of the markets, what is affecting the markets and so on. This is a good start, but you will need to know the reasoning behind why you did something. You are entering trades, closing trades, setting stop-losses and take-profits, but without proper reasoning behind your actions. You need to know why you are doing these things, meaning that you need to have a trading plan.
Traders that do not have a trading plan are most probably the ones who are losing money on trading instead of making it. Following a trading plan or a set of rules, every day is boring for most people. Remember that you are trading to make a profit, so it is important to have a good trading plan and always follow it. The trading plan you are following has to be proven profitable in the past and you have to feel comfortable trading within the rules of your plan. Take the time to create your trading plan and actually follow the rules.
You have to really want it
This is a simple rule that applies to almost anything in this world. If you don't want it enough, you probably won't achieve it. The people who are successful are truly wanting the things in life, they work hard towards it. If you are not a profitable trader, but you really want to make the profits, you simply have to put in the time to learn to trade. If you are not willing to do this, you don't want it enough. Learning to trade takes time, it is easier to learn for some people and some find it harder, but it is possible and everyone can do it if they want to.
Another thing is to take the steps needed to start actually trading. First, you need to invest the time and then you have to actually invest your money to start trading. A lot of people don't want to take these risks, which is understandable, but then trading is probably not for you. When you understand the markets and you are willing to spend the time and money, you are on the right track.
Trading mindset
The last thing to have is the correct mindset. This tip also applies to other things than only trading. If you don't believe in yourself that you are able to do something, then you probably aren't able to do it. If you don't believe in yourself, then who will? As said, this doesn't apply only for trading, but it is very important in trading as well. If you believe that you are going to be successful, then you are already a step closer to being successful.
The mindset is important as to make a profit in trading, your winnings must cover your losses. Don't think you would win on every trade, but try to minimize your losses and maximize your winnings. To achieve this you have to have a working trading plan and you have to hold positions long enough. This means that you have to be disciplined and not close deals immediately you are going to make a little bit of profit. Of course, if you just want a little bit of profit that will most probably be outweighed by your losses, then do so. The traders that are actually profitable and trading for a living are maximizing their profits by holding positions long enough to make a bit extra profit compared to other traders. This isn't easy at first and most people don't have the mindset and courage to do so, this is also why most people aren't profitable in trading.
The three tips in this posts are very common tips that apply to almost everything in life. But following them in trading is very important to make a profit.
Knowing what you are doing is very important in trading as there are a lot of things you have to be sure you understand. Of course, you learn as you do, but in trading, this will first make you lose money. In learning completely other things, the losses wouldn't most probably be financial and therefore learning by doing is a very good idea. In trading, I feel you really have to have a basic knowledge before entering any trades. Take the time and learn, maybe take a course or start learning by yourself, as long as you will get the knowledge.
You have to really want it as otherwise, you won't achieve it. Most people will say they want it, but won't do any work towards it. Wanting and really wanting are two different things. If you really want to be a successful trader you have to make sacrifices to achieve. Wake up one hour earlier to study or take the time from something else and you will achieve the profits. This is something most of the people won't do as it needs work. If you are not willing to do anything to achieve it, you won't achieve it.
The mindset ties the two first tips together. You have to have the right mindset or you won't be doing the work to achieve anything. If you have gathered the knowledge about trading and you have made a trading plan for yourself, you are doing work towards it and you have the mindset. If you want something enough, you will have the mindset as well.

Saturday !! No sewing today! Alhamdulillaah it was very gloomy today and later it started raining, subhanallaah rain after a long time here and masha Allaah still raining!
Usually we go out to the park to play since it was raining we were inside wondering what to do. Maimoonah brought some weather related easy books she could read but she still loves them and asked me to read aloud for her.
These are cute easy interesting books from pelangi Books. We read and she was giggling on and off looking outside at the raindrops!
She did a little bit of Quraan Muraaja' and we learnt some parts of the new soorah!
Then we decided to make Jelly and Custard with Fruits! So I told Maimoonah I will give you the Jelly packet read the directions and make. She was happy and read the directions on the back of the packet and asked for 2 cups of water and made the jelly. I had to help her to transfer it to the bowl.
Then she helped me to make the custard. Emptied the fruits on to a bowl, then poured the custard and you can see her doing the last touching up with chocolate vermicils. We refrigerated it to cool and since it was evening by the time it would set we have kept it for tomorrow to taste Insha Allaah!
Yummy Insha Allaah!

Muscle Gaining Secrets by Jason Ferruggia Review
It's no fun being skinny, weak, and scrawny. Just ask any guy that's been picked on, laughed at by women, and constantly nagged to "eat more" by all his relatives. While it's often not recognized as a problem, like being overweight is, being underweight can be just as harmful to your quality of life.
Check out Jason's Muscle Gaining Secrets Now
Just ask Jason Ferruggia. Now, you wouldn't know it by looking at him these days, but Jason was once a skinny toothpick who struggled with every weight gaining method under the sun. It wasn't until he made some pretty shocking discoveries in a University Library that things finally changed for Jason. After Jason uncovered the secrets to muscle growth, he shot up to 177 pounds in just four weeks. That's 22 pounds in only a month, which is incredible. But I've seen guys at my gym who follow Jason's program make the same gains, and sometimes even more. So I know it can be done. Eventually, Jason's weight settled to a rock-hard 231 pounds…all without steroids. Jason then went on to use his training and diet methods on clients, opening up his own training Facility in New Jersey. Over the last 15 years he has helped hundreds of Hardgainers pack on muscle with his unique system.
Goodbye Skinny Hello Serious Muscle Growth, Ripped Arms and Rock Hard Abs"
Gain Mass, Burn Fat, Increase Your Energy and Improve Recovery Time
with This Advanced Nutrition Guide. Get Muscle Building Secrets Now!
You've likely seen him in the pages of Men's Health, Men's Fitness, and Maximum Fitness. He's also appeared on Fox and ABC news. The guy's got credentials, in other words. Until now, if you've wanted to pack on muscle as fast as possible, you had to work with Jason in his New Jersey facility. But now anyone can download his Muscle Gaining Secrets program and begin training the very same day. The same program that packs on over 20 pounds of muscle in just one month, and all without drugs or supplements.
A Muscle Building Roadmap
The bulk of Muscle Gaining Secrets program is centered on the Muscle Gaining Secrets Master Manual. Jason has truly provided a muscle building road map here. I was mostly impressed at the straightforward manner in which he provided the information. No mumbo jumbo, complicated charts, or science degree necessary here. Furthermore, some of the things revealed in Muscle Gaining Secrets shocked even me. Now, I've been a gym rat for over 8 years. I've also studied every weight training program under the sun. It's rare for me to learn something new, but Muscle Gaining Secrets is chock full of ideas that had me scrambling for my pen in which to take notes. Of course, Muscle Gaining Secrets contains some great workout plans. Instead of bombarding you with a thousand different programs, Jason has narrowed it down to three that are guaranteed to trigger heavy muscle growth from head to toe. Beginner, intermediate, and advanced programs are covered here in a step-by-step fashion leaving nothing to chance. Jason has even thrown in printable workout sheets and training logs so that you can monitor every part of your progress and tweak things if you need to. He makes it crystal clear as to how many sets and reps are necessary to meet your goals, and tells you the absolute best exercises you must do for huge shoulders, ripped abs, and large biceps.
Finally, here is the most awesome part of Muscle Gaining Secrets
Jason has taken all of the guesswork that usually comes with meal planning. Throw away everything else you have on the subject, trust me. Jason has printable meal plans for different levels of caloric intake: 2000,3000,4000,5000 and even 6000 calorie meal plans are printable and laid out for you. Of course, Jason goes even further with his discussion of nutrition. You'll find out the exact formula you need to determine how many calories, carbs, and protein you need to feed your muscle growth. Jason also has tossed in a few neat tips in here, including how to use sodium to get razor sharp muscle definition, "magic" food combinations that drive growth, and what foods will turbo-charge your sex drive.
Bottom Line
|Product Delivery
All in all, Muscle Gaining Secrets is truly a unique package that has combined everything Jason knows about nutrition and training, geared especially to hardgainers. I've seen people at my gym follow this program with great success, and even I was surprised at all the material and information that was packed into this quality system. The coolest part is that you can download Muscle Gaining Secrets safe and secure to your computer in just a few minutes by visiting Jason's website. If you start tomorrow, you can pack on over 20 pounds of rock hard muscle in just a few short weeks. Give it a shot, you truly won't be disappointed.

A few months ago, my bardic brother Doug Thew asked for permission to tell a story that I'm well-known for telling. I was flattered and honored to be asked and agreed immediately. The story is not mine to keep, but I'm always happy to hear that other people are actively passing these stories along, keeping them alive.
Doug was asked to tell a story at Sammy and Greg's wedding reception in Ontario. I didn't know the newly wed couple very well, but I did know a great many people who were there, so I asked my sweet friend Marie to record the performance.
Marie used her Blackberry to record the telling of this story, so the quality isn't very good, but you can clearly hear Doug's telling of the story. Initially, I just wanted to hear how Doug would deal with this story, but it also amused me to no end that Doug would know that I was listening (in an ethereal, big-brother way).
Upon listening to the recording, I was so impressed at how Doug made this story his own. This wasn't Doug telling my story: this was The Ferryman telling his story. I was in awe, but it also reminded me that I've gotten a bit too comfortable with my version of this story. It wouldn't hurt the tale to change it up once in awhile, to experiment with a tale I know very well.
So before I pass this story onto you, I would like to thank Doug for honoring me with such a fine retelling of this story. I hope you enjoyed telling it as much as loved hearing it, brother.

Today, July 29, Riga International Airport welcomed its 50 millionth passenger; Ms Monta Skābarniece since the establishment of the airport. She arrived at the airport onboard airBaltic flight from Munich. The Riga International Airport presented the 50 millionth passenger with the airport's passenger loyalty card RIX Club and the airport's souvenirs. Monta Skābarniece received Business class tickets from airBaltic, and the airport's co-operation partner JSC "Riga Airport Commercial Development" ("ATU Duty Free") congratulated the lucky passenger by bringing a special gift basket.
"I am very pleased at the Riga Airport's remarkable achievement – serving 50 million passengers. The number of passengers is continuing to increase, and I wish the airport to serve more than 5 million passengers this year. I thank the airport's staff and management for their contribution, as well as the largest carrier at the airport, the national airline airBaltic that offers extensive travel opportunities from Riga," emphasised Minister for Transport of Latvia Anrijs Matīss.
Andris Liepiņš, Riga airport Chairman of the Board: "Our joint effort and work has fostered a steady growth in the number of passengers served at the airport. It is very likely that the airport will again serve more than 5 million passengers this year, and the next 50 million in less than ten years."
The Riga International Airport served 2,377,503 passengers during the first six months this year. The most popular destinations from the Riga Airport this year are London, Moscow, Frankfurt, Oslo, and Helsinki. On the other hand, the most popular countries with passengers travelling from Riga are Germany, Great Britain, Russia, Norway, and Finland.
airBaltic has strengthened its position in the Baltic region for the summer season 2015 by launching 14 new direct routes from Riga, Tallinn and Vilnius. airBaltic has added Aalborg (Denmark), Dubrovnik (Croatia), Thessaloniki (Greece), Rhodes (Greece) and Pisa (Italy) to the network of cities served from Riga.

Somewhere in the depths of the mall in Nicosia, a little store popped up that I had never heard of and to be honest, didn't even notice until someone told me. Standing proudly opposite Zara, Suite Blanco's somewhat small shop front does not do its actual size, or products, justice.
For me Suite Blanco falls into the Zara/Mango/H&M category of the high street. They have some great on trend pieces and seem to have mastered the affordable fashion thing. But what I love about this place is their accessories, in particular their great range of chunky necklaces. I was seriously in heaven when I saw these. And I couldnt leave without snapping one up.
I opted for this silver ethnic necklace. It goes with everything and the detail is fantastic. And it was a bargain at €12.

Editorial: Stephen Takach for District 36
Two survivors emerged from the crowded May Republican primary race to fill the new congressional seat for U.S. District 36, one of four new congressional districts added to the Texas delegation in Washington as a result of the 2010 Census.
The remaining candidates are Stephen Takach, a political newcomer from Baytown with deep roots in the district, and Steve Stockman, a former one-term congressman who upset veteran Democratic U.S. Rep. Jack Brooks in the 1994 Republican sweep.
We urge District 36 Republican runoff voters to cast their ballots for Takach. The runoff winner will face the unchallenged Democratic primary winner, businessman and pilot Max Martin, in November. The sprawling district encompasses Newton, Jasper, Tyler, Polk, Orange, Hardin and Liberty counties in East Texas, as well as Chambers County and a portion of east Harris County.
Takach, who hails from Liberty, is a conservative with a strong financial background and a commitment to use that experience to help unravel the debt/deficit mess that's paralyzing the federal government.
Stockman came from nowhere in 1994 to unseat the erstwhile Democratic lion Brooks after two unsuccessful tries. He was dispatched two years later by the Democrat Nick Lampson following a term marked by eccentric behavior and a clear feeling that he was not ready for prime time.
Nothing convinces us that any of that has changed over the years. Stockman's most visible backer is former U.S. Rep. Tom Tancredo, R-Co., whose out-of-the-mainstream views on immigration are his dubious claim to fame. And his campaign is offering "Obama barf bags" as a campaign souvenir. Not exactly high-toned.
On the other hand, Takach's private-sector experience and accountant's demeanor match well with the problems faced by Washington. The father of two's success story as the descendant of Hungarian immigrants matches the entrepreneurial, independent spirit of his district, which includes petrochemical and oil and gas industries, fishing and shrimping, and farming and ranching and forestry in the East Texas portion.
A fresh face, combined with a strong personal connection to the district and sturdy credentials for the task at hand, would get U.S. District 36 off on the right foot.
We urge Republican runoff voters to cast their ballots for Stephen Takach.

We are avid cyclists at DailyXY. But we are also partisans of elegant dressing and like to show up at events oil stain-free, and preferably without our trousers bunched into our socks.
This is why we were enthusiastic about test-riding the classic, old-fashioned, upright Dutch clunker called the Batavus Favoriet.
You may wonder why a bicycle that weighs 22.3 kilograms (that's without the 2 kilogram lock you're going to need to protect it) costs $1,050. The answer is that you're paying for beauty. This is a bicycle that looks as if it comes from a movie about artists in 1930s Amsterdam. (Batavus has been making bikes since 1917.) Ride it in your most elegant suit, and you'll feel like a poet. Its beauty is in its simplicity: it is shiny black, with high handlebars and an archaic leather saddle on big springs (a $200, but crucial option).
For protection of your fine clothing, the chain and sprockets are tightly enclosed in a case, so you don't need to worry about your trouser cuffs getting chewed up. As the mudguards are maximal, you won't get sprayed by the wheels. You sit very upright for a good view in traffic.
This 50-pound, three-speed bike is not built for speed, but it runs like a silent stream. The three gears are perfectly adequate for city driving, even on medium-steep hills.
You have to have your own sexual confidence to carry off a bike like this. But we were pleased with the comments we received from flirtatious women who like a man with an aesthetic sense.
In Canada, you can get the Batavus Favoriet, along with several other more modern Batavus models, from Fourth Floor Distributors.

If you have not read Green Lantern Corps 42, move along…. If you have feel free to continue.
This is the final page of GLC 42… if this sticks I will be very very sad and miss Kyle as he is the main reason I got back into comic books after a long time away. I hope Kyle is brought back before the end of the Blackest Night, if not he had a good run and DC never really understood what that had in such a vibrant character… beware his power, and all that.

Why Policygenius?
We make it easy to compare and buy insurance.
Life insurance typically covers suicide
A policy's suicide clause outlines situations in which the death benefit won't be paid
Mental health history plays a role in life insurance rates
Life insurance provides a financial safety net that can last for decades. One concern that some insurance shoppers have is that an insurance company won't pay the death benefit if the policyholder dies. This is typically unfounded, as life insurance policies almost always pay out; there are even protections in place if a carrier goes bankrupt.
But are there scenarios where life insurance won't pay out? For example, does life insurance cover suicide? Depending on the terms of the policy's suicide clause, suicide may not be covered, but this clause is usually only in effect during the first few years of the policy.
In this article:
The life insurance suicide clause is a provision that's in place during the first two years of the policy. Normally, when the policyholder dies, the death benefit is paid to the beneficiaries as a tax-free, lump-sum amount (or, sometimes, a series of payments) and that's the end of the transaction. However, if the death is a result of self-inflicted injury, the insurer can refuse to pay.
The reason for this is to prevent an applicant from getting a policy and taking their own life immediately afterwards in order for their loved ones to receive the death benefit.
This presents some complicated scenarios. Is a drug overdose covered by life insurance? It may be, if it is deemed to be accidental rather than deliberate. It's the burden of the insurer to prove a death was a suicide.
Note that after the first two years, the policy will pay for suicidal death (unless there is another provision or exclusion specifically outlined in the policy that forbids it).
During the underwriting process, a life insurance company will look at an applicant's health and health history to learn how risky he or she will be to insure — how likely the applicant is to die during the course of being covered. This includes not only physical health but mental health as well.
Depression in particular is linked to suicide, and it's important to disclose during the application. Answering basic questions, like when you were first diagnosed and the severity of your depression, along with being able to show evidence of treatment through medication and/or therapy, will keep you eligible for competitive rates
The relationship between mental health and life insurance can be complicated. You can learn how to get the best rates with a history of mental health conditions here. But you should always disclose your mental health history, or else the death benefit can be denied during the contestability period. Each application and health scenario will be looked at on a case-by-case basis.
Doctor-assisted suicide, commonly known as "death with dignity" or "right-to-die" situations, involves people diagnosed with a terminal illness who choose to end their lives rather than suffer through treatment and/or a diminished quality of life.
These cases would fall under the same clauses as other suicide — covered, but not during the first two years of the policy — but only five states currently have laws protecting the right to assisted suicide: Oregon, Washington, Vermont, California, and Colorado.
Get help
If you or anyone you know is experiencing suicidal thoughts please call the National Suicide Prevention Lifeline at 1-800-273-8255 or contact them online.
Besides in cases of suicide, life insurance companies may not pay out during the contestability period.
The contestability period is the two-year period when a policy first goes into effect; during this time, a life insurance company can contest the death benefit payout. Carriers can investigate a death and decide if the beneficiary has a legitimate claim, in order to prevent fraud. The contestability period discourages people from lying on their application and helps keep life insurance companies in business and providing coverage.
During the underwriting process, a life insurance applicant will be asked a series of health-related questions that will help the company set the premiums. Unhealthy people, or people with a history of health issues, are typically charged higher rates than healthier people. And even though carriers will gather more health information during the medical exam, applicants can lie about some aspects of their health history.
For example, an applicant lies and says they don't have a history of smoking in order to avoid a costly Smoker classification, but dies a year into their policy from lung cancer or some other lung-related affliction, the insurance company can investigate, determine the death was smoking-related, and decline to pay the death benefit because of application fraud.
There are a few important things to note. First, a company can't choose to simply not pay out during the contestability period; they must have cause and evidence of fraud. They find this through autopsies and other investigative measures.
Second, the contestability period only lasts for the first two years the policy is in force, but it can be reset if the policy lapses and the policyholder has to have it reinstated.
Finally, the suicide clause and the contestability period are not the same thing. Though the periods of time almost always overlap, and even the circumstances may overlap (for example, if suicide is a result of an undisclosed pre-existing medical condition), the suicide clause specifically deals with self-harm while the contestability period is concerned with fraud.
The inverse of the contestability period is the incontestability clause. This essentially says that, after the contestability period has ended, a company cannot avoid paying out life insurance benefits by contesting misstatements made on an application.
There are some exceptions to the incontestability clause — some errors (like age or gender) could result in coverage being recalculated rather than cancelled — but overall the clause is there to protect consumers from having their policy cancelled years into it because of an application mistake.

text: Malouda gets his marching orders [GALLO/GETTY] Birmingham City went 10 unbeaten games in England's top flight for the first time in 100 years as Chelsea's poor run continued in a 0-0 draw at St Andrew's. Florent Malouda was sent off in the second half on Saturday to leave boss Carlo Ancelotti contemplating just one win in five games. Results & fixtures Saturday December 26 Birmingham 0-0 Chelsea Fulham 0-0 Tottenham West Ham 2-0 Portsmouth Burnley 1-1 Bolton Man City 2-0 Stoke City Sunderland 1-1 Everton Wigan 1-1 Blackburn Liverpool 2-0 WolvesSunday December 27 Arsenal v Aston Villa Hull City v Man UtdMonday December 28 Tottenham v West Ham Blackburn v Sunderland Chelsea v Fulham Everton v Burnley Stoke City v Birmingham Wolves v Man City The Londoners go five points clear of Manchester United, who play at Hull on Sunday. Roberto Mancini won his first game in charge of Manchester City as Martin Petrov and Carlos Tevez scored to beat Stoke 2-0. 'Hard team' "For me, today is a good match. The players were fantastic because Stoke are a hard team," Mancini told the BBC after seeing his side go three points behind the top four. Liverpool won 2-0 at home to Wolverhampton Wanderers in Boxing Day's late game to ease some pressure on under-fire coach Rafael Benitez with goals from Steven Gerrard and Yossi Benayoun to leap over City into sixth. Elsewhere in the English Premier League West Ham climbed out of the relegation zone with a 2-0 win over bottom club Portsmouth while Fulham and fifth-place Tottenham Hotspur played out a 0-0 draw in London. Two East versus West Lancashire derbies saw Burnley come from behind to draw 1-1 with Bolton Wanderers at Turf Moor while Wigan drew 1-1 at home to Blackburn. Another draw saw Sunderland relinquish a 1-0 lead to finish 1-1 with Everton. Boxing Day ends with Liverpool's evening kickoff against Wolverhampton Wanderers. In Birmingham the visitors carved out nearly all of the game's best chances but found Birmingham keeper Joe Hart in inspired form while defender Alex rattled the crossbar with a free kick. Ruled out Birmingham had a Christian Benitez goal ruled out for offside in the first half but were content to hang on for a draw after the break to stretch their unbeaten league run. "Chelsea always had a goal threat but the concentration of our players was fantastic," said Birmingham boss Alex McLeish. "To go 10 games unbeaten is a phenomenal achievement." The news that top scorer Didier Drogba can play in Monday's home game with Fulham provided some festive cheer for Chelsea. Drogba, and fellow Ivory Coast striker Salomon Kalou, have been given clearance to delay their departure for next month's Africa Nations Cup until after the west London derby. "We asked the national team and the coach (Vahid Halilhodzic) agreed with us," Ancelotti told the club's website. The Stamford Bridge team are facing an exodus of several African players for the tournament in Angola and are also without striker Nicolas Anelka due to injury.

Who is Sir John Franklin in AMC's The Terror?
Sir John Franklin is a Rear Admiral in the English Royal Navy, who is given command of an expedition to the final uncharted section of the Arctic coastline of the Northwest Passage in 1845. Franklin is an experienced leader, but has a blemished record in the Royal Navy - a man "everyone likes, but no one respects".
The real Franklin had a distinguished early naval career, joining HMS Polyphemus in 1800 and seeing action in the Battle of Copenhagen, in which the Polyphemus was part of Horatio Nelson's squadron.
In 1804 he was on the East India Company's ship the Earl Camden, part of a squadron that harried and chased off a much larger French fleet at the Battle of Pulo Aura. He was also present at the Battle of Trafalgar in 1805 aboard HMS Bellerophon, as well as at the Battle of New Orleans in 1814-15.
How did he become an explorer?
In 1819, now a lieutenant, Franklin was chosen to lead an overland expedition to chart the north coast of Canada eastwards from the Coppermine River. The expedition was planned badly, had a limited budget and was dogged with misfortune and freezing weather.
By 1822, 11 of the 20 men in Franklin's party had died – mostly of starvation, but there was at least one murder, and rumours of cannibalism. Only 500 miles of the Arctic coast could be explored before the extreme cold, hunger and exhaustion forced the retreat of the expedition.
The survivors were forced to eat lichen; once, reported Franklin, when they could find no more of this, "we drank tea and ate some of our shoes for supper" – a comment that gained the nickname "the man who ate his boots". Despite the disastrous outcome of the expedition and criticism from some quarters, Franklin was feted as a hero on his return to Britain for his courage in the face of adversity.
Franklin was promoted to the rank of Captain in 1822; his written account of the expedition, published the following year, was an enormous success and long regarded as a classic of travel literature. It influenced Roald Amundsen who read it as a youngster and resolved to become a polar explorer himself.
A second Canadian expedition in 1825, to the mouth of the Mackenzie River, was much better planned and supplied; Franklin became only the second European to reach the mouth of the Mackenzie. He was knighted by George IV in 1829, and in the same year he was awarded the first Gold Medal of the French Société de Géographie.
How did he come to lead the Northwest Passage expedition?
Franklin was made Governor of Van Diemen's Land (Tasmania) in 1836 but it was not a happy posting for him and he was replaced in 1843. Two years later, he accepted command of Royal Navy's disastrous expedition to the Northwest Passage on the HMS Erebus and HMS Terror, which is the subject of The Terror TV series.
Franklin, now aged 59, had not held a naval command for over a decade, and it has been suggested that his experienced executive officer, Captain Francis Crozier, may have made a better commander – being from Ireland and of relatively humble background prevented his elevation.
In the wake of the expedition, Franklin's status in the Victorian era as a hero grew even greater. A statue of Franklin in his home town bears an inscription stating "Sir John Franklin — Discoverer of the North West Passage". Franklin Street in the centre of Adelaide, South Australia, is named after him.

Who plays Franklin in The Terror?
Sir John Franklin is played by Ciaran Hinds. The Belfast-born actor spent many years on the stage; he was a member of the Royal Shakespeare Company and has had leading roles at The Old Vic, The National Theatre and the Royal Court, as well as at the Lyric Belfast, the Abbey in Dublin, and on Broadway.
He has a catalogue of credits for roles on both the small and big screen; notable film appearances include Munich, There Will Be Blood, Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows Part 2, and Tinker Tailor Soldier Spy, as well as a voice role in Disney's Frozen. On TV, he's best known for playing Julius Caesar in Rome, DCI Langton in the Above Suspicion serials, and Mance Rayder in Game of Thrones.
Hinds can also be seen in the recently-released spy thriller Red Sparrow, alongside Jennifer Lawrence and Charlotte Rampling. The 65-year-old lives with his long-term partner, French-Vietnamese actress Hélène Patarot, in Paris.

10 All-American viewing experiences to celebrate July 4th
Photo: Warner Bros. Pictures
You've baked an apple pie, packed your cooler with Pabst Blue Ribbon and picked out a spot to take in the fireworks. Good for you. But those acts don't make you a great American.
True patriots will use this July 4th weekend to bone up on the history of our country — and we're here to help.
Don't worry. We're not going to recommend 546-page tomes about Revolutionary War generals or even assign you to watch the great but weighty work of Ken Burns. Instead, these 10 DVDs are designed to educate and entertain. They may not be completely accurate, but they'll go down as smoothly as that first can of beer.
- "Schoolhouse Rock: America Classroom Edition" (1973-85): Back when watching Saturday-morning cartoons was a childhood rite of passage, these short ditties offered amusing introductions to everything from the birth of our country to the passage of a congressional bill. Those also pining for the math and grammar numbers (conjunction junction, what is your function?) will want to invest in the all-inclusive "Schoolhouse Rock: 30th Anniversary Collection."
- "Assume the Position With Mr. Wuhl" (2006): Comedian Robert Wuhl takes over an NYU classroom to torture its students. No, he doesn't force them to watch "Arli$$." Instead, he debunks one historical myth after another, proving that Sarah Palin's version of the ride of Paul Revere is dead wrong. Oh, and so is yours.
- "The Crossing" (2000): Jeff Daniels went from "Dumb & Dumber" to Tough & Tougher in his role as a George Washington who could give Indiana Jones a run for his money. The movie zeroes in on the general's bold attempt to get to Trenton via the Delaware River, a route that travel agents in the 1770s rarely recommended.
- "North and South" (1985): Before "Dirty Dancing," Patrick Swayze slipped into uniform for this sweeping account of the Civil War that includes Kirstie Alley, Elizabeth Taylor, Gene Kelly, Johnny Cash, Forest Whitaker and Robert Mitchum.
- "Bury My Heart at Wounded Knee" (2007): Dee Brown's acclaimed book comes to life in this heartbreaking account of how our nation displaced American Indians on its march west. Fred Thompson's turn as Ulysses S. Grant is the closest he'll ever come to being president.
- "Iron Jawed Angels" (2004): A star-studded cast fights the power in this tribute to the 1918 suffrage movement. Hilary Swank, as organizer Alice Paul, is as steely-eyed and determined as she was in "Million Dollar Baby," which came out the same year.
- "Warm Springs" (2005): For a more encompassing bio-pic, you can try 1976's "Eleanor and Franklin," but you'll get a better sense of FDR's personal strength in this look at how the future prez battled back from a crippling bout with polio. Kenneth Branagh brings Shakespearean weight to the lead role while Cynthia Nixon nails Eleanor's accent.
- "Oppenheimer" (1980): Before insisting on "Law & Order," Sam Waterston played Robert Oppenheimer, the physicist who led the charge to build an atomic bomb, in this seven-part, black-and-white miniseries that's as explosive as its subject matter. No other big stars, but with Waterston at the wheel, you don't need them.
- "Ike: Countdown to D-Day" (2004): Tom Selleck shaves his mustache — and his usual easy-going charm — to play Gen. Dwight Eisenhower, who's on the verge of either winning World War II or screwing it up. Almost all the action takes place in the war room, but that doesn't mean you won't be sweating bullets.
- "Boycott" (2001): For your civil-rights lesson, you could invest in "Roots" or the landmark documentary series "Eyes on the Prize," but either of those would mean sacrificing a week's worth of sunshine. Save those for winter and opt now for this two-hour movie about the Montgomery bus boycott of the 1950s. Jeffrey Wright as the Rev. Martin Luther King Jr. and Terrence Howard as Ralph Abernathy bring their A games.

In every pregnancy, a woman starts out with a 3-5% chance of having a baby with a birth defect. This is called her background risk. This sheet talks about whether exposure to zolpidem may increase the risk for birth defects over that background risk. This information should not take the place of medical care and advice from your health care provider.
What is zolpidem?
Zolpidem is a sedative medication used to treat insomnia (not able to fall asleep or stay asleep). It belongs to a group of medications called hypnotic benzodiazepine receptor agonists (HBRAs). Although it interacts with the benzodiazepine receptor, zolpidem is not a benzodiazepine. Brand names are Ambien®, Edluar®, Intermezzo®, and Zolpimist®.
I take zolpidem. Can it make it harder for me to get pregnant?
No studies have looked at whether zolpidem use by women made it harder for them to get pregnant.
I just found out I am pregnant. Should I stop taking zolpidem?
You should always talk with your healthcare provider before making any changes to your medication. It is important to consider the potential benefits of taking zolpidem during pregnancy. Sleep is very important for a person's general health. You and your healthcare provider may decide to continue zolpidem, use a different sleep aid during pregnancy, or stop using sleep aids. Some people, who stop this medication suddenly, may have withdrawal symptoms. Symptoms reported include fatigue, nausea, vomiting, flushing, lightheadedness, crying, nervousness and others.
Does taking zolpidem during my pregnancy increase the chance of miscarriage?
There are no studies that looked to see if zolpidem use during pregnancy increased the chance for miscarriage.
Does taking zolpidem during my pregnancy increase the chance of having a baby with a birth defect?
A small number of studies have not found a higher chance of having a baby with a birth defect.
Could zolpidem cause other pregnancy problems?
Studies that looked at pregnancy outcomes other than birth defects found that the women who took zolpidem during pregnancy were slightly more likely (around one and a half times the risk) to deliver early or have smaller babies compared with women who did not take zolpidem during pregnancy. Other studies also reported similar issues but these studies were too small to show any increase in risk. None of these studies fully accounted for the use of other medications, smoking, alcohol, or drug use, or for the underlying medical conditions. Any of these conditions could also increase the chance of early deliveries and smaller than usual babies. Therefore, there is not enough information from any of these studies to know if zolpidem can cause pregnancy complications.
I need to take zolpidem throughout my entire pregnancy. Will it cause withdrawal symptoms in my baby after birth?
There are no studies looking at whether taking zolpidem during pregnancy increases the chance of withdrawal symptoms in the baby. However, withdrawal has been reported in babies whose mothers took benzodiazepines close to delivery. Benzodiazepines are a class of medications similar to zolpidem. The withdrawal symptoms included difficulty breathing, muscle weakness, irritability, crying, difficulty sleeping, tremors, and jitteriness. It is not known if zolpidem use close to delivery can also cause these symptoms in a newborn. It is important that your healthcare provider and your baby's pediatrician know you are taking zolpidem so that if withdrawal happens your baby can get the care he or she needs.
Will taking zolpidem during pregnancy affect my baby's behavior or cause learning problems?
There are no studies that have looked at whether taking zolpidem during pregnancy may affect children's long-term development.
Can I breastfeed my baby if I am taking zolpidem?
Yes. Zolpidem is found in breast milk. In a study of 5 women who took a single 20 mg dose of zolpidem several days after delivery, very little zolpidem was found in their breast milk three hours after taking the medication. No problems were reported in babies whose mothers took zolpidem while breastfeeding in this study. The baby should be observed for evidence of sedation or poor weight gain. Babies who are very young or were born prematurely might be more sensitive to zolpidem in breast milk. Be sure to talk to your health care provider about all your breastfeeding questions. If you suspect that your baby has symptoms caused by zolpidem, contact your baby's health care provider right away.
You may also want to discuss with your health care provider the potential hazards of taking a sleep aid while caring for a newborn infant. You and your doctor may decide that the use of a sleep aid would interfere with your ability to respond to your newborn during the day or at night.
What if the father of the baby takes zolpidem?
There are no studies looking at possible risks to a pregnancy when a father takes zolpidem. In general, exposures that fathers have are unlikely to increase risks to a pregnancy. For more information, please see the MotherToBaby fact sheet Paternal Exposures and Pregnancy at: https://mothertobaby.org/fact-sheets/paternal-exposures-pregnancy/.

A New Zealand court Thursday acquitted a woman of charges of murdering an Indian-origin man.
A jury of 12 members in the Wellington High Court cleared Jessica Lee Keefe, 30, of charges of murdering her partner Sean Verma, 30, at his flat in the suburb of Petone in Lower Hutt, Wellington, Jan 29 this year, Fairfax NZ News reported.
Verma died soon after receiving a knife wound to his chest in the flat.
The man of Indian descent was reportedly a member of a major criminal network in New Zealand known as the Mongrel Mob and was the father of Keefe's youngest child.
Keefe had pleaded not guilty in court.
In her statement to police, she said that she could not remember how the knife pierced Verma's chest when he was hitting her.
However, Keefe didn't produce any evidence in the court.
She told the court that she got a knife to keep Verma away after he punched her.
Keefe said what happened next was a blank and she could not remember if she stabbed him.
In an earlier hearing, the defence lawayer had told the jury that Verma might have impaled himself on the knife while attacking Keefe.
Neighbours who saw the incident through the tall windows of Verma's flat said they saw Keefe fighting back and swinging something at Verma.
Later, a 60-inch television's screen was found cracked at two places.
Keefe and the children were reportedly living two doors away with Verma's parents.
Prior to his death, Verma had pleaded guilty to assaulting Keefe and had also volunteered to go for a counselling course against domestic violence.

The Magic Touch system triggers an actuator or solenoid, whichever you think is right for the application. We have found that a decent door lock actuator works well for the LX. The main controller board has a solid state relay that can handle 30amps, so no external relay is needed. We sell an actuator or solenoid if you want to buy it from one source. But that's up to you. The install takes between 30 to 60 minutes per door. We have installation instructions up on our web site. One for the main board and one for the Magnum/300 sensor.

On Mother's Day Greetings and the Sacred FemininePosted: May 19, 2014 Filed under: Body, Female Power, Feminism, Objectification/Sexualization, Sexism, Woman | Tags: Bodies, Embodied, Feminine Awakening, Feminism, Memoir, Memory, Mother, Mother's Day, Power, Sacred Feminine, The Tantric Dance of Feminine Power, Woman, Women's Bodies 31 Comments
On Mother's Day, I deleted a Facebook post before I had a chance to publish it. The update was going to acknowledge all the moms that I know. The reason I never posted the message was that there was more to it. The post in its entirety would have said: "Happy Mother's Day… so grateful to you moms for embodying the Sacred Feminine."
We live in a world where greeting card companies have come up with all kinds of ways to say Happy Mother's Day—from funny greetings, to the poetic kind, to religious-themed greetings, to cards that are purposely inappropriate. Still, I hesitated to put up my greeting because I worried that someone out there might think I was just being "woo-woo" spiritual or, even worse, take offense that I'd linked "mothers" to the "sacred feminine"—as if to put the two together would be blasphemous.
As a teenager and through my twenties I didn't see much use for my femininity except for whatever purpose it could serve for attracting the opposite sex. After I grew breasts and hips I learned how to wiggle and sashay in such a way that if I walked into a room you'd have to look at me. I would constantly bat my eyelashes, flip my hair from side to side to give off a "Charlie's Angels" effect, and speak from my throat (rather than my diaphragm) so my voice would sound huskier.
Owning My VoicePosted: April 30, 2014 Filed under: Body, Creativity, Female Power, Feminism, Voice, Woman | Tags: Creativity, Empowerment, Power, Voice, Woman, Women's Bodies, WPLongform, Writing 73 Comments
For years, I was terrified to show the world any of my own writing. I found ways to avoid professional work that would require a byline with my name attached to it. I was stymied by a number of fears: What if my writing isn't good enough or what if it's "too much?" Worse yet what if what I say offends, turns off, or upsets anyone, possibly everyone—rendering me undateable, unhireable, or, even, unfit to be part of society?
Stories from the Belly has been up and running for eight months. This post marks my 17th one. While the blog is fairly new, for me working as a blogger is not. I've been ghost blogging for eight years and written thousands of posts—only you would never know that any of them were written by me.
I'd even started other personal blogs in the past—four, to be exact (one of them I'd forgotten ever existed until I stumbled upon the URL in my bookmark folder the other day). I never made any of these sites available to the public.
Author Virginia Woolf wrote in A Room of One's Own, "I would venture to guess that Anonymous, who wrote so many poems without signing them, was often a woman." For a long time, I might as well have been this "Anonymous."

In my twenties one day, I found myself seated in a room of other women seeking support from each other. Looking around, I felt like a pretender.
As I listened to them share their stories… a husband smashing a dinner plate over the head of a wife, a brother high on heroine stabbing his sister with a knife, a mother with ribs broken apart by her son… I sank further down in my chair wondering if these women might be offended that I'd even bothered to show up.

Why is it that I feel squeamish about saying "vagina" in public? I didn't realize how much of an issue this still was for me until about a month ago when on a crowded plane, my boyfriend cracked some joke with a punch line ending with the word "hoo-hoo." Immediately turning into a word monitor, I looked at him and said "SHH!!"
As I turned to make sure that the little girl seated in the row behind me didn't hear what he said—I caught myself. Why am I freaking out?
Growing Up Like Skipper: On Breasts & ObjectificationPosted: January 16, 2014 Filed under: Body, Body Image, Breasts, Feminism, Objectification/Sexualization, Sexism, Woman | Tags: Barbie, Bodies, Body, Body Image, Feminism, Memoir, Objectification, sexualization, Woman, Women's Bodies, WPLongform 165 Comments
My first Barbie was a Growing Up Skipper doll. Skipper is Barbie's younger sister.
A gift from one of my aunts during the 1970's, my Skipper doll wasn't an ordinary doll. Living up to her name, she could "grow" from girl to young woman in an instant. All you had to do was take her arms and wind them forward in a circular motion. Not only would she grow taller but her bust would get bigger. Wind her arms in the opposite direction and all of her would shrink back to original size.
At age 6, all I knew was that I had a "2-for-1" doll. Growing Up Skipper even came with an extra outfit for her older self to wear, and she had a tank top that doubled as a bathing suit. Now, when I look back I am able to see how this doll was sexualized—just like when people prematurely endow girls with certain attributes and qualities so that they seem sexier and more mature.
