CAROLE THORPE, CHt, HCHI, HCHD, CLEC, VP Hypnobabies-PR
Carole Thorpe, of Mission Viejo, California is the mother of four, and a hypnotherapist. Also, Carole is a Hypnobabies childbirth hypnosis instructor, a childbirth doula, and a lactation educator and counselor. She practices homeopathy and Healing Touch as well. Carole has assisted with over 500 sweet babies' births in people's homes, in birth centers and in hospitals all over southern California. She can be reached at 949.380.1681, or email@example.com. For more information, see her website: www.hypnosis4birth.com
As a preparation for childbirth educator, I have taught hundreds of couples and assisted them at their births to reach their goal of natural childbirth. In the past, I taught an adaptation of the Lamaze and Bradley methods, along with what I called, "verbal relaxation & guided imagery." I assisted with over 300 births that resulted in unmedicated, calm and peaceful babies, and I witnessed moms who were in control of their birthing bodies, but those moms were far from comfortable during their babies' births.
Then I learned from personal experience that the power of the mind, while in hypnosis, can create desired changes in one's perception and experience, and can even change the body's physiological responses. I also discovered that hypnosis is a very pleasant state to be in, and not dissimilar to the deep relaxation achieved through the "verbal relaxation & guided imagery," that I used to teach, BUT with a HUGE difference! It was interesting to me to know that a person in hypnosis is so deeply relaxed mentally and physically, that they are able to accept the post-hypnotic suggestion that they can create anesthesia in their bodies using "only" the power of their own minds!
"This is the missing link!" I thought, and I became a certified hypnotherapist through the National Guild of Hypnotists. Then, I observed a series of preparation for childbirth classes taught by the founder of Hypnobabies. I was so impressed with the thoroughness of the childbirth education portion of the Hypnobabies program, that I offered to assist couples from that class series as their doula. That's when I witnessed first-hand that women can experience natural childbirth using hypnosis, and be able to move around freely with their eyes open, awake and aware during the entire process, and be completely comfortable … most of them even pain free! I then became a Hypnobabies childbirth hypnosis instructor, and a "hypno-doula."
I am also a lactation educator and counselor, certified through UCSD. I maintain my "CPR for the Professional Rescuer" certificate with the Red Cross, and certification through the American Academy of Pediatrics and the American Heart Association for "Neonatal Resuscitation" in the midwifery/doula model of care.
I love my "work!" I am in awe each and every time I am privileged to witness the power of a woman's mind to create such peaceful, comfortable birthings. I work with Hypnobabies couples exclusively now, and I am happy to say that I have assisted with over 200 Hypnobabies births.

Dealing with dry and damaged skin can be difficult for anyone but with good skin care techniques and avoiding chemicals and preservatives in your skin care products then achieving beautiful radiant skin can be a reality for many people.
If you currently suffer from problem skin such as rosacea then you will know how dry and damaged your skin can cause social and psychological problems, especially if you leave it untreated.
Rosacea sufferers can be left with redness on the cheeks, forehead, nose and chin. Small blood vessels can be visible on the face with pimples covering parts of the face.
A flawless complexion is something that everyone wants but unless you take care of your skin then this can often just be a wish.
Your skin can take such a beating these days as it has to deal with so many polluting elements, some you can avoid including (such as a poor diet, too much alcohol and harsh chemicals in products) but there are other elements that you can't control including the hot and cold weather and life's everyday stresses and strains.
One of the main factors of dry and damaged skin is the weather; your skin can become much dryer in the winter months which can lead to many skin problems. Central heating and air conditioning in your home and office can also contribute to your skin problems. Although a lot of people enjoy extra hot baths and showers the hot water can play havoc with your skin too.
Premature ageing can be a result of dry and damaged skin but there are a wide variety of creams and lotions that contain natural or organic ingredients that can be used to help combat this. They can help to reduce the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles whilst nourishing your skin with wholesome ingredients.
Zenmed AVT Cream will help revamp and improve the texture of your skin not only if you suffer from rosacea but also premature ageing. It contains skin boosting peptides, Hyaluronic Acid and natural oils to help pump moisture back into your skin.
This cream is the perfect antidote to damaged skin tissue.
This product doesn't contain any harsh ingredients so is gentle on damaged skin and it isn't tested on animals.
Skin care products that contain Retin A are also known to help treat damaged and dry skin, they can also be used if you are an acne sufferer.
If you like to use swimming pools this can also cause problems with your skin as the chlorine that is used in the pools can cause premature ageing over time.
Chlorine can strip your skin of its natural oils which can cause dry and damaged skin.
Avoiding chlorine can be difficult when you enjoy swimming in pools but you can help combat the damage by taking a luke warm shower after you have finished. A hot shower will open your skins pores and allow the chlorine to seep into your skin causing skin damage.
Harsh detergents and soaps should always be avoided if you want beautiful radiant skin. These products irritate your skin which can lead to further problems of dryness and cracking.
As you can see there are many ways you can avoid dry and damaged skin, it certainly isn't something that you have to live with on a daily basis.

Pelosi Floor Speech in Support of Awarding Congressional Gold Medal to the Four Girls Killed at Sixteenth Street Baptist Church Bombing
Washington, D.C. – Democratic Leader Nancy Pelosi took to the House floor today in support of a resolution awarding the Congressional Gold Medal to Addie Mae Collins, Denise McNair, Carole Robertson, and Cynthia Wesley, the four girls who were killed 50 years ago in the Sixteenth Street Baptist Church bombing in Birmingham, Alabama, on September 15, 1963. Below are the Leader's remarks:
"Thank you Mr. Speaker. I thank our distinguished colleague, Congresswoman Sewell, for yielding. As you can see there are many of us who are very eager – Congressman, our distinguished Democratic Whip Mr. Hoyer and I have had the privilege, he more than I, to travel to Alabama with John Lewis. And thank you this morning for informing the Members that, that was, that's a transformative experience. Anybody who travels there and sees what happened in the lifetime of many of us here, and certainly in the lifetime of everyone's parents here in our very own country, cannot help but be moved. So, I'm pleased to be joining you, Congresswoman Sewell, Mr. Bonner, my friend – where did he go? Thank you Mr. Chairman, Mr. Bauchus, and Mr. Hoyer, and other colleagues, in coming to the floor – Mr. Bishop.
"Mr. Speaker, as we are all acknowledging, fifty years ago, on a Sunday morning, four precious little girls walked into the Sixteenth Street Baptist Church in Birmingham, Alabama, the same day they did every week. These four little girls were there for Sunday School. They were not civil rights activists; they were not agitators or advocates. They had simply come to church to learn, to pray, to be with their friends and classmates. When you visit there you see, they didn't really have a chance. They were in such close quarters when they went down those steps and the rest. These four little girls did not enter their church seeking to become symbols of a struggle of equality; yet, in a moment of brutal, horrific, unspeakable tragedy, they would become icons of a movement for justice.
"The names Addie Mae Collins, Denise McNair, Carole Robertson, and Cynthia Wesley remain seared in the hearts and minds of us today as painful reminders of a dark moment in our history. For their families, for their friends, for their loved ones, their loss in a bombing at the Sixteenth Street Baptist Church would change their world forever. Yet, even at the time of great change across the country, little did we know that their deaths would change our world forever.
"Among the many milestones of the civil rights movement, September 15, 1963, may be bestowed with some of the greatest pain and anguish. But it was on that day, as this resolution states, that 'the world took notice of the violence inflicted in the struggle for equal rights.' It was that day that stirred the conscience of our nation, galvanized the forces of justice, and spurred the momentum to pass the Civil Rights Act and the Voting Rights Act – landmark steps in righting the wrongs in our country's past. It was on that day that the Sixteenth Street Baptist Church became a symbol in the cause of human rights and human dignity, from the streets of Birmingham to the communities nationwide. It was that day that once again reinforced what Dr. Martin Luther King Jr., just weeks earlier, called the 'fierce urgency of now.'
"These four girls made the ultimate sacrifice in the battle for civil rights, joining too many fellow Americans in paying for freedom with their lives. This weekend, I will join the Southern Poverty Law Center to rename and rededicate the Civil Rights Memorial [Theater] in Montgomery, Alabama. This memorial is a tribute to 40 individuals killed during the struggle; it is a place to remember the fallen, to take heed of their message, to deepen our understanding and to renew our commitment to equal rights under the law.
"They were four small little children going to church; four students, four daughters, four members of a tight-knit community in Birmingham; four lives ended too soon; four victims to the forces of hatred and prejudice, racism and injustice. Their senseless and premature deaths ignited the fires of progress, fanned the flames of equality. As the resolution declares, and I thank the gentle lady, one of our new Members, not brand new, but newer Members of Congress, for coming here and joining with colleagues – Mr. Bauchus, Mr. Bonner, certainly John Lewis and Members of Congress not representing Alabama, but from Alabama. As the resolution that she presents declares: 'the legacy that these four little black girls left will live on in the minds and hearts of us all for generations to come.' To honor that legacy, to cherish their memories, to inscribe their names once more in the pages of history, it is only fitting for Congress to bestow our highest civilian honor, the highest honor that Congress can bestow on a civilian, the Congressional Gold Medal, on these four young Americans. That will be a glorious day in the Capitol, when we all come together under the rotunda, under the dome of the Capitol to remember them.
"I hope that is a comfort to their families. They gave so much, so much sprang from that, and we will always remember. With that, Mr. Speaker, I yield back the balance of my time."

Alec Baldwin apologizes to NY gay group for tweets
NEW YORK (AP) — Alec Baldwin has apologized to a New York City-based lesbian, gay, bisexual and transgender rights group for a series of tweets that could be interpreted as homophobic.
Baldwin's messages were directed at a newspaper reporter who accused his wife of tweeting during the funeral for the former star of "The Sopranos" James Gandolfini (gan-dahl-FEE'-nee). Baldwin says in a letter to GLAAD posted on its website Friday his tweets didn't have anything to do with "issues of anyone's sexual orientation."
The former "30 Rock" star says he's done political work with marriage equality groups and insists he wouldn't advocate violence against someone for being gay.
GLAAD spokesman Rich Ferraro says Baldwin's language was improper and his tweets didn't reflect his "history of actively supporting LGBT equality."

David Hall: Even though it has nearly the identical mintage as the 1936-D, the 1936-S Rhode Island is the rarest of the three Rhode Islands by a significant margin. None of the three are rare in an absolute sense, but the 1936-S has the fewest number of coins graded by PCGS and is obviously tougher to find in Gem condition than the 1936 or 1936-D.
The typical 1936-S has frosty luster, with some specimens having semi-prooflike surfaces. The shallow relief of the Rhode Island design makes for more marks than other commemorative designs of the era. Toning can be evident in ranges from fairly attractive to somewhat dark and crusty. Like all commems, eye appeal is an important issue for Rhode Islands.

Romney's son Tagg reported today that, his dad did not want to be president anyhow. He just did it because Ann, his wife and Tagg, his son, wanted him to. He really wished anyone else ould have done it.
Seriously, you guys are the meanest people I have ever met. I hope you are happy and feel really good about yourself.
Mitt Romney didn't want to be president, anyway.That's what Tagg Romney, Mitt's oldest son, told the Boston Globe for its big post-mortem on his father's failed presidential bid published on Sunday."He wanted to be president less than anyone I've met in my life," Tagg Romney told the paper. "He had no desire to ... run. If he could have found someone else to take his place ... he would have been ecstatic to step aside."He is a very private person who loves his family deeply and wants to be with them," Tagg continued. "He has deep faith in God and he loves his country, but he doesn't love the attention."Romney's reluctance to become commander in chief has been hinted at by his sons before. Before their father sought the 2012 GOP nomination, several said they tried to convince him not to run."I tried to convince him not to," Matt Romney told Conan O'Brien in June. "I think there were a few of us that tried that. I just felt for us as a family, this isn't the best thing. But ... for the country, we think it's the right thing."
Religions need books because they don't have gods.
Sounds like a child trying to convince others that he didn't really want that toy because he didn't get it, in order to convince himself of the same thing.


text: arc 120 Report post Posted December 5, 2012 http://www.cbssports...during-pro-bowl According to several players in the game, some from both teams, Newton's standoffish, diva ways made him enemy No. 1 in the eyes of some of the players. "He was a total ----hole," one AFC player said. "Who did he think he was? He acted like the big poo. Here he was at his first game and he acted like he was the star. Guys didn't like that." The Pro Bowl is a laid-back game, one for relaxing, spending time with your peers and unwinding after a tough season. The resort where players are housed is for them and their families only to prevent fan interference. So when Newton turned down one player's request for an autograph and a picture for his kids at a function, it angered the player. "Who the hell did he think they were?" said one player. "The only people around are families. He knew that. Yet he big-timed the guy by saying 'now's not the time.'" That player said Newton did the unthinkable and even dissed Ravens linebacker Ray Lewis. "That's the godfather there," one player said. "Can you believe he did that?" Said another player: "It didn't matter who it was, he didn't care about anybody but himself." I'm just gonna leave this here Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Police arrest man after giving wanted brother's name
April 01. 2013 2:51PM
MANCHESTER - Police said a motorist who thought there was a warrant out for his arrest identified himself as his brother when he was pulled over for speeding - only to be arrested anyway because his brother was wanted for operating a motor vehicle without a license.
Robert Moreau, 39, decided to come clean when he was being booked Saturday under his brother's name, police said. Police said Moreau had a valid license and there were no warrants for his arrest, but he was promptly arrested for providing a false name to an officer.
He was booked on charges of disobeying a police officer and violation of bail conditions set on a prior theft charge.
Police said had he given his real name when he was pulled over Saturday morning on Valley Street near Beech Street, he probably would have received a speeding ticket or he might have just received a warning.

Planet Dog, the socially responsible pet industry leader, is barking about the launch of two new flavors of Planet Dog EATS, a line of premium and healthy dog treats made by their new local baking partner, Polka Dog Bakery in Boston, MA. Designed with form, function and versatility in mind, the 100% natural dog treats aid in tartar control and offer super nutrients in every bite for optimal health and wellness.
"We are honored to be working with an organization like Polka Dog," says Stephie Volo, Planet Dog's Top Dog. "They have been baking award-winning treats for over seven years and have been an excellent resource and partner to us. It is exciting to work with an organization that shares the same values," adds Volo.
Planet Dog EATS compliment Planet Dog's lifestyle brand and are a perfect companion for their award-winning Orbee-Tuff®toys. Made in the USA with all-natural ingredients, Planet Dog EATS were designed to fit the Treat-Spot® in Orbee-Tuff toys and provide hours of interactive play and wholesome goodness. The playful bone-shaped treats easily break into smaller pieces for portion control and for placing inside all sizes of Orbee-Tuff toys.
"Consumers are looking for pet products with multiple health benefits and applications," says Kristen Smith, Planet Dog's Brand Ambassador. "By inserting Planet Dog EATS into the Treat-Spot of our Orbee-Tuff toys, dog lovers can create an interactive play session and treat dispensing activity that also enhances their pet's well-being," adds Smith.
There are three distinct ways for dog lovers to use Planet Dog EATS to celebrate and enhance the lifestyle they share with their canine companions. They can praise good behavior by treating their 4-legged best friends with the nutritious biscuit-like treats. They are perfect for dogs who love daily play with interactive toys of all sizes. These versatile dog treats are easy to snap into bite size and non-filling training treats for dogs that perform. They can also be used with Planet Dog's new On the Go Snack Sack® for "ready-to-reward" ease.
The rough, crunchy surface and composition of the new treats supports daily tartar control and contributes to healthy teeth and gums. Planet Dog EATS are wheat, corn and soy-free and contain no wheat gluten. The new line features two flavors: Chicken & Pumpkin Pot Pie and PB & J.
The Chicken & Pumpkin Pot Pie Flavor treats naturally support digestion thanks to the high fiber content found in Pumpkin. It is also a natural remedy for stomach ailments, including constipation and mild diarrhea. It is packed with beta carotene, high in vitamins C, K and E and an excellent source of potassium, magnesium and iron. And because it is low in both fat and calories, it is an excellent food substitute for dogs with weight restrictions.
The Chicken & Pumpkin Pot Pie treats also feature ginger, a perennial herb that has potent healing properties. Research has shown that ginger helps promote healthy cholesterol levels.
The PB & J Flavor treats offer powerful antioxidants thanks to real Maine blueberries and peanut butter. Blueberries are also a great source of fiber. The presence of brain stimulating vitamins in blueberries can help keep senior dogs sharper, while copper, zinc and iron help boost and maintain a healthy immune system. Peanut butter is also loaded with antioxidants as well as protein and basic carbohydrates. The peanut oil in peanut butter contains omega fatty-acids that support heart health.
Planet Dog EATS are sold in a recyclable, 12-ounce virgin craft cardboard box and like all of Planet Dog's products, they are covered by the company's 100% satisfaction guarantee. Consumers can buy them online at http://www.planetdog.com, by calling Planet Dog toll-free at 800-381-1516 or at retailers nationwide. Retailers can also call to purchase them or place an order online at http://www.planetdogretailer.com.
Sit. Speak. Act.®
Planet Dog is proud to donate 2% of every purchase of every Planet Dog product to the Planet Dog Foundation (PDF) to support canine service programs nationwide. PDF provides cash grants to programs throughout the country that train, place and support dogs who help people in need. Since January 2006, PDF has given away more than $800,000 in cash grants and in-kind product donations. For more information and a full list of programs and grantees, please visit http://www.planetdogfoundation.org.

Hello everybody!
I have just joined the forum to share (rather just asking for solutions, at this stage :-) points on the Numerical Methods.
Actually, I have just taken Computer Science as an optional subject and found some quite daunting chapters on the subject. It forced me to join the wizards on this forum for some help.
I wish everyone very good time.

Painting in Space: The Multi-Dimensional Work of Jan Maarten Voskuil
Artsy Editorial
Based on the premise formulated by De Stijl cofounder (and fellow Dutchman) Theo van Doesburg that a work of art refers only to itself, Jan Maarten Voskuil's abstract, wonkily geometric paintings-cum-sculptures are full of rigor and humor. His works are oriented on the circle and the rectangle, whose forms he alters and distorts using mathematical principles. These calculations guide the shape of his wooden frames, across which he stretches monochromatic canvases, presented singly or combined into multipart works that may be found hanging on or propped against walls, installed in the middle of a room, or even attached to the ceiling. At once austerely minimal and exuberant, Voskuil's compositions often appear to be in the process of shape-shifting—peeling off of the wall, stretching, or collapsing in on themselves—as if imbued with minds of their own.
Dutch , b. 1964

Charlie Sheen Disses Detroit When He Gets To Chicago
Yup! It's Detroit's fault that Charlie Sheen wasn't funny. Par for the course isn't it! He did a show in Detroit, fine tuned it, then moved onto Chicago the following night. He then went on stage and dissed the people in Detroit. Well, ya gotta admit the people buying the tickets aren't really that smart, are they. Why would you want to watch this moron go on a rant???

Unequal access to resources, opportunities, and outcomes is a major source of global instability, disrupting the lives of millions of people and also the environment in which businesses operate. It's the problem of our time.
That's why BCG has made a major institutional commitment to social impact. We work with organizations in the social, public, and private sectors to deliver frame-breaking solutions to some of the most complex problems in contemporary society.
Our founder, Bruce Henderson, was fond of quoting Archimedes: "Give me a lever long enough and a place to stand, and I will move the world." Our Social Impact practice is the lever with which BCG makes the world a better place.
BCG brings its traditional emphasis on in-depth analytics, strategic insight, and the innovative application of digital technologies to magnify the impact of our social impact partners on major global challenges, ranging from global health to sustainable economic development.
When Anthony Banbury was appointed head of the UN Mission for Ebola Emergency Response in September 2014, the first person he called was a BCG partner. Within 48 hours, we had a team in place at UN headquarters in New York, working closely with Banbury and the World Health Organization to develop a coordinated plan. Soon after, a BCG team was on the ground in Accra, Ghana, to organize a pivotal four-day conference of leading health experts from around the world and from the affected African countries.
The risks to the world were significant. We needed to move fast. Had BCG not responded positively to the UN's plea for help, I think history would have been different. From the beginning, BCG helped us to develop a response strategy and get it right.
Increasingly, we are working with our private-sector clients to transform their capacity to deliver positive social impact. We help them expand their aspiration; think beyond traditional initiatives for corporate social responsibility, sustainability, or corporate philanthropy; and incorporate total societal impact (TSI) as an integral part of their corporate and business strategies.
We also convene multiple stakeholders in ground-breaking public-private partnerships to develop system-wide solutions to global-scale problems such as access to clean water, the development of sustainable food systems, and initiatives for urban economic inclusion.
To communicate our excitement about social impact work, BCGers have been telling their personal stories on LinkedIn. Explore the experiences of our consultants in the field.
Kayne, a London-based senior associate, explains the types of trade-offs between commercial success and achievement of social purpose social business startups needs to make in the short term.

Four charged in recent Waukegan armed robberies
Four people were arrested during a traffic stop in Waukegan Saturday and charged with three recent armed robberies after officers noticed a gun, two masks and a purse in the vehicle, police said.
A Waukegan police officer stopped a vehicle at 10:30 p.m. driven by Orlando Salazar, 19, of the 0-99 block of North Victory Street in Waukegan.
The weapon seen by the officer -- a BB gun -- as well as the purse were both linked to an armed robbery that took place last week. Officers were also investigating two other armed robberies that took place at ATMs.
Salazar and three other occupants later gave statements implicating their involvement in all three armed robberies, police said. Salazar was charged with three counts of aggravated armed robbery.
Steve Briggins, 17, of the 600 block of Lorraine Avenue, Waukegan, was charged with three counts of aggravated armed robbery.
Juan Martinez, 19, of the south Martin Avenue, Waukegan, was charged with three counts of aggravated armed robbery.
All three are being held at the Lake County jail on $200,000 bail.
A 15-year-old boy was also charged with one count of aggravated armed robbery and was taken to Hulse Juvenile Detention Center in Vernon Hills.
Police were tipped to Salazar's potential involvement from calls in response to a reverse calling system that notified residents of the armed robberies and requested anyone with information to contact police.
"I am very proud of patrol officer Al Cancino, who made this stop, which lead to the arrest of these four suspects," Waukegan Police Chief Daniel Greathouse said in a statement. "I am equally proud of the detectives for their tireless efforts in following up on numerous leads and wrapping up this complex case."

A report was published by the Pew Research Center recently which found that only 6% of ALL Americans use Twitter (8% of Internet using adults). And of that 6% who use the service, 1 in 5 are members in name only, never checking the site for new updates. However, it was also interesting to see that while 21% of Twitter users never check for updates, 24% of users check more than once a day. So an almost equal percentage check never as check all the time. Anyway. Enough stats. Check out the full report for more information.
I'll gladly admit that not only am I one of the 6%, I'm also one of the 24%, having every Twitter update sent to me as they happen through TweetDeck. However, before July of this year, I wasn't really sure what the point of Twitter was. Sure, my wit is quite suited for 140 characters, but what can Twitter offer me that Facebook can't? However, the deeper I got sucked into cycling, the more I realized the value of Twitter. Twitter became a way for me to be part of the cycling community, pro and otherwise. My increased Twitter activity was directly related to my increased interest in cycling! And now, not only do I have to defend my obsession with cycling, I also have to defend my addiction to Twitter! So, what about Twitter makes it such an integral part of the cycling community? Let's explore.
(a brief note before we begin: for some, this might seem elementary. However, I write so those not familiar with our sport might gain new insight.)
On the fringes
Here in the States (and maybe elsewhere, I'm not sure), we cycling fans have a cross to bear as our sport of choice is woefully under covered by mainstream media. The cycling community is not large and the pro cycling fan base is even more not large. This is where Twitter comes in. Twitter gives us cycling fans a place to find like- minded individuals, a place to follow the pros through their training, races, wins and loses, a place to follow races which aren't shown on TV or are available online only with Dutch commentary, a place to connect with fellow race watchers around the globe. Through Twitter, pro cycling becomes so much more than just what comes through the TV or computer.
As I've used Twitter to engage in the cycling community, I've found those I follow generally fall into 3 camps: the riders themselves, cycling news sources, and regular joes like myself who have an invested interest. In addition, I see three main ways Twitter is useful to the cycling community: following races, staying informed on cycling issues/news, and connecting with racers and their teams.
To the Races
An unfortunate side effect of cycling's less-than-mainstream status in American is the lack of race coverage on television. The bigger races are shown on Versus or Universal Sports, but the truly dedicated fan is not satisfied with this meager coverage. While most European races are often streamed online with English commentary, Twitter helps fill the gap where that coverage leaves off. For races with commentary only in Dutch, or no commentary at all, Twitter is invaluable! Most of the races in North America, such as the Grand Prix Cycliste ProTour races or the US National Championships, or in the Southern hemisphere, such as the Tour Down Under or this year's Road World Championships, receive little to no live coverage or commentary in the States. A truly dedicated cycling fan will turn to Twitter to follow those races. Through race specific hashtags and Twitter accounts dedicated to live race updates, it is possible to follow a race as closely as if it were on TV. Accounts such as Procycling Live or Live PodiumInsight tweet time gaps, attacks, the order of the riders on the roads, and keeps track of breakaways and chase groups.
Race hashtags allow those able to watch it live to tweet their reactions and what they see, and, if they're actually at the race in person, post photos they've taken. So, for example, if you were watching the Road Racing World Championships in Australia, and you wanted to express your desire for Fabian Cancellara to win the Time Trial you might tweet something like this, with a #2010worlds hashtag:
This puts your tweet about the 2010 Worlds in the search results of every person who has searched for, and is following, all tweets marked with the #2010worlds hashtag. And whether you just search for #2010worlds to follow what people are saying about the races or tweet with at Worlds hashtag, you've just become part of the bigger race community on Twitter!
Breaking News
Most of the cycling news websites have Twitter accounts where they post links to their articles. Following accounts such as Cycling Weekly, VeloNews, Cycling News, or VeloNation allows for up to the minute updates, and maybe even breaking news! In addition, Twitter also allows for news to spread that is missed by the mainstream cycling news sites. For example, I would've never known about the Vail hit-and-run had it not been discovered by Twitter user angryasian and retweeted by one of the people I follow. That story might not have been picked up by mainstream media, let alone cycling media, if it hadn't spread like wildfire thru the Twitter community (my reaction here).
A connection to the masses
I love following racers and teams on Twitter. I love following as they train, travel, race, win, and lose. When they tweet after a horrific lose or terrific win, it feels like a personal message sent out just for us fans. They become a real person, and I'm much more invested in their successes and failures. Twitter is also a way for teams and riders to disseminate information. It was thru Twitter that the new HTC-Highroad jerseys were leaked first by team member Mark Renshaw, then Matt Brammeier. Some wondered if it was done intentionally, as a stunt to promote their technology sponsor, to show how mobile devises can be used to share information. Who knows.
You know who loves Twitter? Lance. He loves it so much he has no fewer than 7 twitter accounts- one for himself (@lancearmstrong), one for his infamous alter ego (@JuanPelota, who seems to be tweeting mostly about "his" swim training for his upcoming triathlons), and one for each of kids! (I only follow the real deal, in case you wondered) His profile is pretty tame these days -boring even- but I've heard that in times past, especially his Astana days, he was anything but.
You know who also loves Twitter? Taylor Phinney (@taylorphinney). This boy loves Twitter as much as one can love an online social media program. He loves using emoticons, tweeting about his rides, his races, his coffee, his friends, his training, everything. He also LOVES interacting with his fans through Twitter- he actively reads his @replies, answering questions, responding to comments (he's responded to me before!)…
… and routinely thanks his followers and fans for their support.
My favorite thing he's done recently is hold a Twitter press conference!
And respond he did. Taylor shows how Twitter can be used create a real connection with an admiring public and is known among the cycling community for his incessant tweeting.
It's not all roses
While Twitter is useful in oh so many ways, there are limitations to Twitter. Twitter posts are often taken as direct quotes from the rider/team, which can get you into hot water, as RadioShack's manager Johan Bruyneel found out when he tweeted an angry comment directed towards the UCI after the organization wouldn't allow them to wear their one-off jerseys at the Tour de France. This tweet and the jersey debacle lead to him being fined and suspended for 2 months!
When an account with the name petersagannews tweeted that Peter Sagan was having stomach troubles, disagreeing with his team doctors, and might miss the start of the 2010 season, it was taken as truth and reported in the news. However, Peter Sagan insisted there were no problems and it was merely a case of stolen Twitter identity– Sagan doesn't even have an account.
Anthony Tan, a cycling journalist, sees taking tweets as official quotes as lazy and risky. But there are some riders who prefer to use Twitter for exactly that and avoid the press all together. Whether good or bad, riders and their Twitter accounts do affect how the public sees them and how the press interacts with them.
So, who to follow?
Well, I've done the hard work and put together some Twitter lists that make following easy. (all subjective, of course)
- Live Race Updates: A list of tweeters who either tweet live race updates or link to places where you can find online streams.
- Cycling News: Twitter accounts of cycling news websites.
- Pro Cyclists: By no means a complete list, not all of those listed on here are on ProTour teams. These are cyclists who tweet semi-frequently and tweet semi-interesting things.
- Twitter All Stars: a completely subjective list of people whose tweets I love reading. Some pro riders, some bloggers, some regular joe cycling fans with a bitting wit.
Some All Stars which deserve a special shout-out:
- Neil Browne (@neilroad): funny guy, writes a great blog for Versus, full of obnoxious comments
- Dan (@dwuori): ridiculously sarcastic comments/commentary on the cycling world. Totally deadpan. As much as one can be on Twitter.
- Cyclebordom (@cyclebordom): funny and puts up great pictures on Tumblr.
- mmmaiko (@mmmaiko): irreverent, impolite, offensive. Did I mention funny?
- the Inner Ring (@39teeth): insightful posts, insightful blog. Knows the sport like no one else.
- Ted King (@iamtedking): coherent, funny look into a pro cyclist's life. Writes a mean blog too.
- Tejay van Garderen (@tvangarderen88): has only started more frequent tweeting recently, but some funny stuff.
- Ryan Kelly (@ryantkelly): doesn't tweet much about racing, but funny life observations.
- Alex Dowsett (@alexdowsett): funny, funny guy.
- Taylor Phinney (@taylorphinney): it's all been said.
Who's your favorite person to follow on Twitter? How do you use Twitter? This is just one person's view, so I'd like to hear what others think!
I'm addicted to Twitter. I'm the Blooming Cyclist (@bloomingcyclist).

The Deerfield Pageant of 1913 was the second pageant held in the town. In the 1910 pageant, the narrative ended with the Revolution and a "Call to Arms." The organizers of the 1913 Pageant wanted to speak of the present and future of Deerfield, Massachusetts, and they then added two segments at the Finale, "Deerfield of the Present: Symbolism" and "Deerfield of the Future: Symbolism." In these segments, dancers symbolized concepts. Here, the last of the "Present" dancers, "Education," holding the tall feather, is being closely followed by "Co-operation," "Friendliness," and "Prosperity," joined by a group carrying sheaves of wheat, the "Spirit of Plenty." Pageants were widespread in the early 20th century and towns worked for years in some cases to mount displays that would bring thousands of visitors.

OVB Outside Vertical Bar
VRCB Volatility Reduced Compression Bar
Brent Crude Oil (November):
- Short Term Trends are bearish.
- Confirmation of a bottom with a range violation on 10/05/12 @ 112.70. Confirmation of a bottom with a close violation on 10/09/12 @ 113.41. Upside Targets = 117.97 – 118.88
- TREND REVERSAL to bullish @ 113.40. Upside Target = 117.01.
- November Brent Crude roared back higher on Tuesday to close at its highest level in more than three weeks as tensions in the Middle East continue to rise and technical trends have not reversed back to bullish.
- Expect a modest setback on Wednesday before the EIA storage report as some profit taking comes into the market and then resume the rally to make a move back near the contract highs @ 117.95.
- Projected Daily Range: 2.36
- Projected Weekly Range: 6.82
- Projected Monthly Range: 12.02
WTI Crude Oil (November):
- Short Term Trends are bearish.
- Confirmation of a bottom with a range violation on 10/09/12 @ 91.85. Confirmation of a bottom with a close violation on 10/09/12 @ 92.39. Upside Targets = 94.56 – 95.72.
- November WTI Crude Oil slightly closed the spread between itself and Brent on Tuesday as it rose over $3 as the Middle East remains on edge.
- Should WTI trade above last week's high of $93.33 it would fulfill only a 14% probability of a weekly OVB failure and point the crude market higher over the next few weeks to $95.72.
- Projected Daily Range: 2.67
- Projected Weekly Range: 6.15
- Projected Monthly Range: 11.33
Natural Gas (November):
- Short Term Trend is bullish.
- Confirmation of a top with a range violation on 10/05/12 @ 3.347. Confirmation of a bottom with a close violation on 09/25/12 @ 3.105. Upside Targets = 3.602 – 3.747.
- C > HOLB (Close Above High Low Bar) generated on Tuesday. Possible confirmation of a bottom with a range violation @ 3.516.
- November Natural Gas once again found solid support under $3.35 on Tuesday as it rallied sharply higher in the second half day of trading on speculation of a colder winter than last year.
- While we expect natural gas prices to continue to rise in the short term, this current contract should experience extreme difficulty breaking through the topside of the resistance zone near $3.75 as there remains adequate storage supplies as well as the fact that a colder winter when comparing to 2011 could still remain pretty mild historically.
- Projected Daily Range: .124
- Projected Weekly Range: .328
- Projected Monthly Range: .624

I really want this camera. But first, I want to know if there are any Sigma owners here that would share their experience with me. Any owners of SD-9, SD-10, or even SD-14 (gasp!), please share your experience using Sigma cameras here, as well as some other info
- What about the image quality after post processing?
- What about Sigma SLR's build quality?
- Is it easy to use?
- Is it durable?
Thanks a lot!
What I like about SD-14 :
- Sigma have killer telephoto lens! (200-500 f/2.8)
What I don't care about SD-14 :
- 14 Megapixels! mean longer write time and need bigger CF when shooting RAW
- LCD screen only have 150K pixels (Why Sigma WHY??? No need to tout FOVEON if you cannot preview your fine details on that LCD IMO)
- Flashes have silly names
- Only two of their lenses have OS (optical stabilization)

SOCHI, Russia (AP) — A year before the 2014 Winter Olympics are to begin, President Vladimir Putin has demanded that a senior member of the Russian Olympic Committee be fired, apparently due to cost overruns in host city Sochi.
The current price tag for the Sochi Games is 1.5 trillion rubles ($51 billion), which would make them the most expensive games in the history of the Olympics — more costly even than the much-larger Summer Olympics held in London and Beijing.
The games at the Black Sea resort of Sochi are considered a matter of national pride and one of Putin's top priorities.
Putin's decision came after he scolded officials over a two-year delay and huge cost overruns in the construction of the Sochi ski jump facilities.
The Russian official involved, Akmet Bilalov, had a company that was building the ski jump and its adjacent facilities before selling its stake to state-owned Sberbank last year.
During his tour of Olympic venues, Putin fumed when he heard that the cost of the ski jump had soared from 1.2 billion rubles ($40 million) to 8 billion rubles ($265 million) and the project was behind schedule.
"So a vice president of the Olympic Committee is dragging down the entire construction? Well done! You are doing a good job," Putin said Wednesday, seething with sarcasm.
Deputy Prime Minister Dmitry Kozak told reporters Thursday that Putin had recommended that the Russian Olympic Committee fire Bilalov, one of its six vice presidents.
"As far as Bilalov is concerned the president voiced his decision yesterday: People who don't make good on their obligations at such a scale cannot head the Olympic movement in our country," he said.
Most countries that host the Olympics use public funds to pay for most of the construction of the sports venues and new infrastructure like roads and trains. The Russian government, however, has gotten state-controlled companies and tycoons to foot more than half of the bill.
Both the companies and the tycoons understand the importance of maintaining good relations with Putin, who has a lot of prestige riding on the success of the Sochi games.
Kozak said the costs constantly increased for the ski jump project because Bilalov's company did not properly check the land and, as a result, picked a geologically challenging plot.
"His calculations failed," Kozak said.
The Russian Olympic Committee was quoted by Russian news agencies as saying that Bilalov's future can only be decided by a session of its executive committee.
Despite these setbacks, Russian officials on Thursday went to great lengths to reiterate that everything in Sochi was now on schedule.
"As IOC members and we stated yesterday, it is already clear that we have succeeded with this immense and possibly the most immense project in Russia's modern history," Kozak said.
Taking a cue from Putin, however, Russian officials sought to play down the high costs. Kozak said the government spent no more than 100 billion rubles ($3 billion) on the Olympic venues and the immediate infrastructure.
The government has spent a total of $13 billion so far, and expects to spend about $18 billion overall before the games begin, Kozak has said previously.
On Thursday, Kozak said it was unfair to compare Sochi's budget to that of previous Olympic games because Russian organizers had to build most of the vital and costly infrastructure that was needed — roads, railways, tunnels, gas pipelines — from scratch.
No Russian officials went near the topic of possible corruption, even though Russian business is notoriously plagued by it. Russia last year ranked 133rd out of 176 in Transparency International's Corruption Perception Index, along with countries such as Kazakhstan, Iran and Honduras.
Although there were no documented cases of corruption directly linked to Olympic construction in Sochi, a dozen officials from the Sochi government have been slapped with charges of corruption in the past year.
Kozak and Sochi officials insist that they're keeping the situation under control and that no money is being stolen at Olympic sites.
Sochi organizers also sought to assuage fears that the 2014 Games may fall victim to a warm and snowless winter — or a howling blizzard.
Temperatures at Sochi's Krasnaya Polyana ski resort hovered at 59 degrees Fahrenheit (15 degrees Celsius) on Thursday, and reached 66 degrees F (19 C) in the coastal city of Sochi.
That's after a cold snap the previous week in which athletes competed in test events amid snowstorms as temperatures dipped to 20 degrees F (-6 C).
Dmitry Chernyshenko, head of the local organizing committee, said Sochi boasts one of one Europe's largest snow-making systems and also has equipment that can store snow throughout the summer and protect slopes and tracks from rain and fog. More than 400 snow-making generators will be deployed on the slopes.
He said Sochi has special equipment that can make snow even in temperatures up to 59 degrees (15 C).
"Snow will be guaranteed in 2014," Chernyshenko declared.
Warm temperatures and rain disrupted some of the snowboarding and freestyle skiing events at the 2010 Winter Games in Vancouver.
The countdown celebrations were to culminate later Thursday in a star-studded ice show at one of the Olympic arenas, attended by Putin and IOC President Jacques Rogge.
Also Thursday, tickets for the games went on sale online in Russia. The prices range from a low of 500 rubles ($17) to a high of 50,000 rubles ($1,700). Organizers said about 40 percent of the tickets would be priced under 3,000 rubles ($100). The total number of tickets put on sale was not disclosed.
In a bid to combat ticket scalping, Sochi organizers said they would limit the number of tickets that can be bought by one person. For the most popular events, such as the opening ceremony and top ice hockey games, the limit would be four tickets per person.
Sochi organizers will also require visitors to apply for a special spectator pass without which they will not be able to access the venues.
The games run from Feb. 7-23, 2014.

Before you became pregnant, you probably thought that you had an understanding with your body: You were good to it, it was good to you. Now that you're expecting, however, you find that all bets are off. Your little bundle of joy is calling the shots, and your body is straining to accommodate. Feet are swelling, ligaments are stretching, veins are bulging, and hormones are raging. Simply put, you need help. Fortunately, relief is just a page away.
Itchy Skin:
As your skin stretches, it can become dry and itchy.
Relief Slather on moisturizer or cocoa butter after bathing, and avoid harsh soaps, which remove your skin's natural oils.
Frequent Urination:
Your growing uterus presses on your bladder.
Relief By four months, the uterus moves up, relieving the pressure. Meanwhile, keep drinking liquids and don't wait to urinate -- it can lead to a urinary tract infection.
You may retain some fluid -- especially around your ankles and feet.
Relief Put your feet up, switch standing and sitting positions often, and don't cross your legs. If your rings get tight, put them on a chain and wear them as a necklace.
Varicose Veins:
Valves that propel blood start to soften, causing the blood to pool and form painful bulges.
Relief Avoid crossing your legs, standing in one position for too long, or wearing anything that cuts off circulation (like knee-high stockings). Support hose may also help soothe the aches.
Hormonal havoc and the energy it takes to create a baby sap your strength.
Relief Rest often and avoid sugar and caffeine.
Leg Cramps:
Sluggish circulation causes painful knots.
Relief Gentle massage or stretching (with toes flexed, not pointed) can help relax the muscle. Try stretching your legs before bedtime.
Round-Ligament Pain:
Your ligaments stretch to support the growing weight of your womb, causing sharp pains from the top of your uterus down to your pubic bone.
Relief Get off your feet, and support your belly with a pillow when you're lying on your side. Warm baths are soothing too.
These swollen rectal veins result from hard-to-pass bowel movements.
Relief Try ice packs, sitz baths, or witch hazel compresses, and ask your doctor about a stool softener or suppositories.
Your shifting center of gravity and the increased natural curvature of your spine strain your back.
Relief Stand up straight, and be careful lifting. While sitting, elevate your feet, and use a pillow for the small of your back.
Increased Vaginal Discharge:
A clear to yellowish secretion, known as leukorrhea, helps flush bacteria from your vagina.
Relief Wear a light panty shield in your underwear to help you feel fresher, but don't douche or wear tampons.
Digestive Problems:
Pregnancy hormones slow some bodily functions, resulting in constipation, indigestion, bloating, and gas.
Relief Eat a diet high in fiber (whole grains, raw fruits and vegetables), drink plenty of liquids, and try to take a walk every day.
So-called morning sickness -- nausea that ranges from mild queasiness to frequent vomiting -- can last all day.
Relief Eat small, frequent meals high in protein and carbohydrates, and keep a few crackers by your bed to help settle your stomach before you get up in the morning.
Your uterus presses on your stomach, causing acids to back up.
Relief Even when you're ravenous, eat slowly. Avoid greasy foods and stay upright after meals. Also, try eating yogurt or chewable calcium tablets.
Tender Breasts:
As your breasts rev up for breastfeeding, they may be slightly swollen and feel sensitive or painful to the touch.
Relief Buy a comfortable and supportive bra (without underwire is best).
The sudden surge of hormones may cause migraines.
Relief Try hot and cold compresses, temple massage, and fresh air. Acetaminophen is considered safe for pregnant women, but talk to your doctor before taking any drugs.
Nasal Congestion:
High levels of estrogen and progesterone increase blood flow to the mucous membranes, causing them to soften and swell. Your sinuses may feel extremely dry.
Relief Use a humidifier to loosen congestion, and lubricate the inside of your nose with a little petroleum jelly.
In The Mood for Love -- Or Not
Early in pregnancy, levels of estrogen and progesterone soar -- increasing blood flow and sensitivity in the breasts, vagina, labia, and clitoris -- which may turn you into a sexual dynamo. On the other hand, when you're dealing with nausea, fatigue, and moodiness, you may find sex as appealing as your annual exam. The key for you and your partner is to expect fluctuations in desire, so that when it wanes, you can stay intimate in other ways -- by holding hands, snuggling, or giving each other massages.
By the way, there's no reason to fear that you'll harm the baby during intercourse. She's well-protected in her amniotic bubble, and unless you're at risk for miscarriage or preterm labor (in which case, you should seek your doctor's advice), sex generally poses no danger whatsoever.
The Emotional Roller Coaster
Consider yourself hormonally challenged: During pregnancy, estrogen can climb to 60 times its normal level. In general, higher levels of both progesterone and estrogen can make you feel good, but sometimes the huge fluctuations can also puncture the euphoria. In fact, a wide range of emotional states is perfectly normal -- quiet and withdrawn, scared, anxious, elated and excited, easily angered or tearful, ambivalent, worried, and happy. But you can try to stay on an even keel with enough rest, exercise, and communication with your partner.
On the other hand, if your symptoms include prolonged weepiness, anxiety, sleeplessness, guilt, anger, pessimism, or detachment, talk to a professional about pregnancy-related depression. This potentially serious condition can last anywhere from weeks to months, and it can be treated safely with therapy and medicine. Women who experience severe depression during pregnancy are also at high risk of postpartum depression, so this is one condition you don't want to wait out.
When Woes Are Serious
With everything your body's going through during pregnancy, it can be tough to tell which changes are simply uncomfortable and which are dangerous. Don't hesitate to call your doctor when in doubt. And be sure to talk to her if you experience any of the following symptoms:
Extreme Fatigue:
A possible sign of anemia, or iron deficiency in the blood.
Persistent Vomiting or Diarrhea or a High Fever Lasting More Than 24 Hours:
Any of these conditions can cause dehydration, which in turn can damage the baby's developing organs.
A possible sign of a miscarriage or of placenta previa.
Constant Abnominal Pain or Craming:
Symptoms that may indicate an ectopic pregnancy or pending miscarriage.
Severe Headaches or Sudden, Excessive Swelling of the Hands and Face:
Possible signs of pregnancy-induced hypertension, and preeclampsia.
Treat Yourself
This is one time when everyone will let you enjoy a much-deserved break. Take advantage!
- Light some candles and soak in the tub.
- Get your hair washed at a salon.
- Make a "baby tape" of your favorite music.
- Rent a tear-jerker and cry your eyes out.
- Buy yourself flowers.
- Get a pedicure even if you can't see your feet anymore.

When Beyonce released her music video for "Formation," the Beyhive was in absolute awe. Her fans were thrilled to have received new music from the singer and the Internet was jazzed to hear about a potential new album from the star. But there was a group that wasn't exactly pleased with the project.
Some felt the "Crazy in Love" songstress was using her music video as a way to criticize police. The video for "Formation" shows footage of New Orleans in the wake of Hurricane Katrina and features Black Lives Matter imagery. In Elle UK's magazine's new issue, Beyonce addresses the backlash to her project.
"I mean, I'm an artist and I think the most powerful art is usually misunderstood. But anyone who perceives my message as anti-police is completely mistaken," she says. "I have so much admiration and respect for officers and the families of officers who sacrifice themselves to keep us safe. But let's be clear: I am against police brutality and injustice. Those are two separate things."
Although Beyonce explains where she and her video were coming from, she doesn't back down in defending her art. "If celebrating my roots and culture during Black History Month made anyone uncomfortable, those feelings were there long before a video and long before me," she continues. "I'm proud of what we created and I'm proud to be part of a conversation that is pushing things forward in a positive way."
"Formation" isn't the first time Beyonce has used her platform to express a political message. During the "Mrs. Carter Show" tour, the "Single Ladies" singer had "feminist" blasted across stadium screens.
"I don't like or embrace any label. I don't want calling myself a feminist to make it feel like that's my one priority, over racism or sexism or anything else. I'm just exhausted by labels and tired of being boxed in," she tells Elle. "If you believe in equal rights, the same way society allows a man to express his darkness, to express his pain, to express his sexuality, to express his opinion – I feel that women have the same rights."
Beyonce is hoping her work will help others do what's right. "I hope I can create art that helps people heal. Art that makes people feel proud of their struggle," she says. "Everyone experiences pain, but sometimes you need to be uncomfortable to transform."
