Should doctors prescribe cannabinoids?
The medical use of cannabis was advocated in the United States in the 1970s and 1980s when clinical trials of oral synthetic tetrahydrocannabinol (THC) and other oral synthetic cannabinoids reported efficacy in controlling nausea in patients with cancer who were undergoing chemotherapy.1 Dronabinol (an oral synthetic THC) was approved by the Food and Drug Administration in 1985 for this indication,1 but it was not widely used because patients were unable to titrate doses or disliked its psychoactive effects.1 It is still available in the US, United Kingdom, and the rest of Europe.

High potency cannabis
A recent study by Di Forti and colleagues suggests that daily use of "skunk"— cannabis with high levels of Δ9-tetrahydrocannabinol (Δ9-THC) and low levels of cannabidiol—is a contributory cause of schizophrenia.1 The study compared patterns of cannabis use in first episode cases of psychosis and matched controls recruited from areas in south London. It found equally high rates of cannabis use in cases and controls, but cases were three to five times more likely to report daily use of skunk than controls, and this association persisted after statistical adjustment for confounders. The researchers estimated that one in four new cases of schizophrenia in this area of London were attributable to skunk, if the association is causal.

Naked Scientists - 24th Feb 2015 - Marijuana: Risk or Remedy?

If I had a penny, okay a pound, for every time a patient responded to the request to practice examining them said, 'Well, we all gotta learn', I would be a very rich medical student. (I'd like to add that this is said in a strong West-country accent, just so that you feel like you're really there.) I'm sure that the majority of my colleagues would agree. Today has been no different except for the fact that one of the patients I met described themselves as a 'whistleblower'. It was like my subconscious slapping me around the face and telling me to stop procrastinating. Why, you ask? Well I'm starting to get a little nervous actually, in exactly two weeks I'll be presenting my thoughts on whistleblowing (you might remember me going on about this during dissertation season) to a load of academics and healthcare professionals. My sphincters loosen up at the thought of it* Within five minutes of meeting this patient, they had imparted their wise words on me 'Chantal, just remember when you become a doctor - if you're absolutely sure that you're right about something then never be afraid to speak up about it.' Like music to my ears. Well, until he told me that he was convinced that 'cannabis cures all ills.' Each to their own. *I sincerely apologise, poor medic joke. Yuck.

Im 25 years old, thnning at the temples n a bit behind the middle. been in propecai n minox for 3 years.
Im thinking of getting an fue, i will be seein Dr Keser for this. I need 2000 grafs.
I know we have nothing for at least 4 - 5 years minimum. Does anyone regret their HT if so why?
I've not had a hair transplant and probably won't until I'm about age 45. The later the better. I'm in my early 30s. The reason is I don't know to what level of baldness my genetics is going to take me and how fast.
I suggest you don't have a HT at such a young age. Certainly not before age 38 lets say. If your genes are such that you will progress to norwood 6 eventually, a HT would be a disaster. You'd have hairs on your head here and there looking like an army of insects had eaten through it. It will look downright silly as your hair falls out.
Then you will be on a HT treadmill paying thousands of dollars to have procedure after procedure just to fix the situation.
Whatever you do, please do NOT have a STRIP transplant at any time ever. That is the worst mistake you can ever make. Because with a strip transplant, you lose the option to shave your head - the last decent option to any balding guy. I can't tell you the number of times I've run guys with HT disasters just wishing they had never had a HT in the first place. All they want is to be able to shave their head and almost all of them to a man say that as they got older their hair mattered less and less to them and they would gladly have a perfect shaved head than an imperfect hair transplant.
For at least a bald head is an honest head but a HT head which everyone can see looks wierd is a lie they have to conceal.
So many HT patients have posted such that right beside a message on a new guy asking about a HT, I'd see a message on a guy with HT asking 'how do i get these transplanted hairs removed'.
So be careful. There are tons of unscrupulous and lazy doctors looking to do a strip transplant on you and put you on a transplant treadmill.
Stay on propecia and rogaine as long as you can and don't make a hasty decision.
» Whatever you do, please do NOT have a STRIP transplant at any time ever.
» with HT disasters just wishing they had never had a HT in the first place.
Anyway, READ what Freddie555 is telling you - he IS definitely right!
p.s.: Even I never had any HT's, today I would WAIT for better options than ANY traditional HT procedure.
I went to supposedly "one of the best". Up in Canada.
I regret getting an HT for several reasons.
FUE donor scarring, no head shaving under 6mm. I now shave the sides and the top with different guards. The cheese grated look is still slightly visible, to me, but luckily I have enough gray to blend it.
FUE placement scarring, under some lighting you can see the plants, and some what in un-natural "rows". Also some unnatural direction.
You will still be losing hair around the plants. In 3-10 years you may only have odd plants here and there on your scalp. Then you are stuck having to shave every 1-3 days.
Chicks dont care. Practice your verbal charm, shave your head and workout. Be sincere with them and yourself. You can land any chick worth landing. If some dude tries to clown you, laugh at yourself but dont take any disrespect.
Some good advice here aqlready given.
I love my transplant that Dr. Armani did for me, how my hair looks and the confidence it gave me. I am a much happier person.
Some things to know and think about, if you have a procedure in the front and you thin out in your mid scalp and crown, are you prepared to have another procedure in the future, pay for another one?
A hair transplant can be absolutely great if you plan for the future, go to a great doctor and get a natural looking result.
» I went to supposedly "one of the best". Up in Canada.

» visible, to me, but luckily I have enough gray to blend it.
what do you mean 6mm? i thought with fue you could shave your head?
With FUE you're supposed to be able to take it down to a short buzz. How short, that depends on the doc and the case. It's not a lie for a doc to claim that FUE may enable a very short buzz afterwards, but it's not always the actual result either. Punch size, lifetime number of grafts taken, individual patient situation, etc.
The size of the FUE punch used is varied depending on the circumstances and the number of hairs in the graft being taken. But the room for variation has also left room for lower quality work. Some docs are leaving holes more like 2mm across (the hole left behind will be larger than the chunk removed because of the round punch's wall thickness) and still calling it "FUE" work. That is a lot more like minigrafting.
On the other hand, it's not a crazy idea to suggest that erring on the side of using larger punches might help the average yield of the transplanted grafts. FUE is a complicated business with a lot of judgment calls.
Thanks for your advice guys. I was aware that i would need a future treatment in a few years time. I kinda hoping Histogen or Adreans would have made it by then, we all know what timelines are like.
Its so hard to accept when your a young guy.
Ive seen some of Dr Kesers work and it looks really good. I have a good job good friends in my life by when i see a tramp with a full head of hair i feel he has a lot more than me.
There is always the same problem with transplants…the donor is finite that hasnt changed and because of that transplants can only do so much on their own. Most times they can do so little that are not worth the investiment if you can just buzz your head and be done with this thing.
The best thing you can do if you look ok with a buzzed head is to forget about this thing and you will be glad you did because…you wont have to take drugs for the rest of your life, you wont have to pay one procedure after the other chasing your hairloss, you will have a clean scalp and a pristine donor if something better comes along in the future, you will avoid all the procedures and hiding from the world for months each time with a red and then pink head.
» investiment if you can just buzz your head and be done with this thing.
» with a red and then pink head.
hi pats i've aquestion: i'm in the situation u stated (had astrip 1800 grafts and done the front and now need to go for mid and crown), my question is do i need to go for another strip at top clinic and get another strip for maximum use of donor? im thinkung for the future where hm will be available and i read that they take apiece from the donor, but what will happen if i'll use all my donor?
i don't wanna think that hm won't be available for me because i'm done!!!
» happen if i'll use all my donor?
» i don't wanna think that hm won't be available for me because i'm done!!!
Being that you have already had strip you could go with either FUE or strip for your next procedure. It's probably best to choose the doctor you like the absolute most.
If you have a 2nd procedure for say 3,000 grafts for the crown, strip of FUE it shouldn't use all of your donor.


Wei Sheng was like an unsheathed sword.
In Mo Cloud Sea, if people were said to be both in fear and awe of Lil' Miss, then everyone was full of the utmost respect for Teacher Wei. Teacher Wei never got angry, he would only smile gently, and then patiently demonstrate again and again to point out the differences. Wei Sheng had an indescribable presence. People would unconsciously believe every word he said. No one would suspect he would not be able to do something.
Almost no one had seen Teacher Wei angry. Wei Sheng was as vast and heavy as a mountain. He was the idol of all the sword xiu in Mo Cloud Sea.
When Teacher Wei made a decision, he would give up all restrain. At this time, his edges were all displayed. He was like a sword that could not be stopped. People would not doubt that he could cut open the sky.
The six shen glyphs revolved around Chief Elder and Wei Sheng immediately knew the other's intentions.
His heart was calm, even while the furious power of the blood sword in his hand battered at his mind. The God-Killing Blood Sword was like a beast that just tasted blood. It became frantic, and tried to break free of all restraints.
Yet Wei Sheng's mind did not have any weakness. The blood sword shaped pupils calmly gazed at Chief Elder.
Wei sheng's calm caused Chief Elder to feel a thread of trepidation.
Wei Sheng did not recognize the six shen glyphs but he knew that something that Chief Elder who had summoned such a vast sea of glyphs was keeping back as a killing move, it definitely was not normal.
Without any hesitation, he swung his sword releasing sword essence like usual.
The void sword essence was like hair blown into disarray by the wind, floating towards Chief Elder.
Suddenly, a black shen glyph among the six lit up. Then a black whirlpool appeared in the center of the shen glyph.
The void sword essence was sucked into the black whirlpool.
Wei Sheng narrowed his eyes. The center of the whirlpool was the endless void! No wonder he felt it was so familiar!
Wei Sheng was right. Chief Elder's shen glyph was called the [Endless Whirlpool]. Its greatest ability was to consume everything.
While he knew the ability of the whirlpool, Wei Sheng did not have a good solution. His void sword essence was powerful but the two were from the same source. He could not defeat the whirlpool.
Also the smaller grey spinning whirlpools in the larger whirlpool were clearly not so simple.
Wei Sheng was not shocked. He raised the blood sword in his hand. His face suddenly turned pale. Threads of blood appeared on the sword. The sword moved as though it was alive. An indescribable pressure immediately pressed on the battlefield.
Wei Sheng did not seem to see. His sword flickered and a drop of blood was thrown off the tip of the sword. It slowly flew towards the whirlpool.
The blood bead contained an indescribable pressure. The speed of the black whirlpool was affected and its revolutions slowed.
Chief Elder's expression became grave as he stared closely at the bad of blood.
The blood bead flew to the center of the whirlpool and suddenly exploded.
A spray of bloody mist landed on the whirlpool.
The whirlpool was dyed with an imperceptible tinge of blood. The thin blood color did not seem to affect the whirlpool but Wei Sheng perceptively felt that the power of the whirlpool was slightly weaker than before. But before Wei Sheng could celebrate, the color was quickly dragged into the grey spinning scripts.
Those grey whirlpools were as strange as expected.
Seeing this, a tinge of an imperceptible smile appeared on Chief Elder's mouth. He turned his gaze to another direction.
The chains around A Gui became even more tangible and tighter. They were tightly embedded into the bone armor. The purple flames burned. Her face was pale, and her eyes flashed with bright purple flame.
The [Undying Ghost] had slightly changed. The chains that had bit into the bone armor started to gradually merge into one with the bone armor.
The bone armor that looked like grey crystal had a few marks of crisscrossing flames. A Gui's purple flames on the armor gradually receded but the bone dagger in A Gui's hands were still covered in a layer of purple.
A Gui's body suddenly disappeared. Almost at the same time, a blue shen glyph lit up.
A ray of blue light came from the shen glyph and covered A Gui.
A thread of blue smoke came out of A Gui's [Undying Ghost].
A faint layer of grey mist floated out of the surface of the [Undying Ghost]. This seemingly thin layer actually stopped the blue light.
Chief Edler was astounded. Such thick and pure yin energy!
It was the first time he closely examined A Gui's bone armor. When he looked, he jumped in fright, shen device raiment!
It was a shen device raiment!
The bone armor seemed to have been soaked in yin energy for a long time to the point it didn't have any impurity. It seemed as clear as grey crystal. However, how many years would it take to gain such purity and clarity?
Forgers always pursued the clearest and purest materials. The purer the material, the higher the grade it was. This bone armor was so high in grade, so pure, that Chief Elder had never seen something like it before.
Even at a level like Chief Elder, he couldn't help but feel a hint of greed at seeing such quality. But then he smiled self-mockingly. It was not good to divide one's attention when fighting!
He refocused and urged the blue shen glyph further. The blue ray of light started to spin slowly.
As the ray of blue light spun, the power contained in the ray of light increased greatly. A Gui's charge slowed to a halt. The blue ray of light seemed to contain a great force. The faint layer of grey mist on her armor quickly disappeared.
A Gui suddenly released the two bone daggers in her hands. Chief Elder now found that there was an exquisite chain connecting the hilts of the two daggers.
The bone daggers with their purple flames were like two bolts of lightning. They dragged the long chain as they flew towards the shen glyph releasing the blue ray of light.
The bone daggers passed through the ray of light and hit the shen glyph.
The chain was pulled straight and they looked like two long spears.
Two waves of purple flame quickly reached towards the shen glyph from A Gui's hands along the chain. At the same time, pure yin energy that was wrapped around the chains caused the flames to erupt in power.
The two bone daggers suddenly turned into two claws that grabbed onto the shen glyph.
The ray of blue light seemed to be stimulated. It became extremely bright and the hissing from A Gui's armor was much stronger.
The layer of grey mist on top of the bone armor was quickly disappearing.
He detected danger from A Gui's move. However, this [Grinding Blue Light] was one of the strongest shen glyphs he had. This blue ray of light did not look like much, but anything it shone on would be ground into dust by the power it contained.
The [Grinding Blue Light] was not complete when he obtained it, but he saw its strength. Due to this, he had spent a great deal of energy on it. After reaching god-level, the increase in his cultivation allowed him to repair the [Grinding Blue Light] immediately. However, the shen glyph of the [Grinding Blue Light] was extremely complex. He still needed time to complete it.
But even so, the present [Grinding Blue Light]'s power could not be underestimated.
The Grinding Blue Light was also unique in that the longer one resisted, the stronger the blue light became.
As expected, the Grinding Blue Light became even brighter. The grey mist on A Gui became an extremely faint layer.
A Gui's figure started to tremble like the chains in the blue light. Because of the great force, they were trembling.
However ,A Gui's figure did not waver. The chain in her hands grew longer. The two chains were like two nimble snakes that started to climb and coil around the shen glyph. They passed through the crevices between the shen glyph.
The purple flame that was usually unstoppable seemed to have lost its power and couldn't do anything against the shen glyph.
A Gui seemed to be unaffected by this. She only had the chain climb and warp around the shen glyph.
Chief Elder looked in interest at A Gui's actions.
He had a very limited understanding of the Undying Shen Punishment. This punishment that was called the cruelest of the ancient era had only left behind a few sparse lines. The records he had collected about this was pitifully few.
Maybe, he could take this chance to observe the Undying Shen punishment. He might gain something.
The Undying Shen Punishment and the shen device raiment interested him.
Chief Elder did not think about the other three people. The three had used up too much of their shen power just now. He only needed to use one shen glyph to restrain them.
Up until now, his plan was successful.
As he observed A Gui, he recalculated the time. The entire battle was in his control.
Quickly, a smile appeared on his lips. No matter how he calculated, he had enough time.
At this time, he seemed to feel something. He raised his head, his expression shocked. He turned his face to look in another direction!
In a far part of the glyph sea, in the direction of the ball of fire, a presence was furiously growing.
The arcs of flame formed sparks of gold that permeated Zuo Mo's body. In a daze, Zuo Mo did not notice that the sun shen glyph in his body was slowly growing and forming.
If Zuo Mo was clear minded, he would be shocked to find the growth of the shen glyph was not along his skin, but like a tree root that grew out many strands of gold and wrapped around Zuo Mo's entire body.
As the sun shen glyph grew, the burning flames seemed much dimmer. If one could see through Zuo Mo's body, they would see the root-like sun shen glyph was drawing from the red burning sun flows to feed Zuo Mo's body, like a tree taking water from ground.
The sun shen glyph quickly became tinged with red, and became brighter.
Soon, the root-like sun shen glyph became the same color as the burning sun flows.
Zuo Mo's face showed an expression of pain.
In Zuo Mo's sea of consciousness.
Pu Yao floated in the air, the eerie black fire dancing in the air.
"Are you prepared?" His voice was as sharp as a knife, so cold there was no emotion.
A muffled voice came from the armor below. Wei was completely dressed, the armor covered in marks of age and battle. He held a sword and stood next to the black stele, his figure straight like a spear.
Looking at the stele below, Pu Yao expressionlessly pulled aside the hair that covered his left eye.
Translator Ramblings: You guys do not know how relieved I was to get to this chapter. About 800 chapters of having to remember "Pu Yao's eye" "Pu Yao's eye" "don't type Pu Yao's eyes because one of them is always covered" as plural and singluar "eye" is the same in Chinese. Talking about Pu Yao's eyes for a few hundred chapters and then suddenly saying one eye was covered this whole entire time would have been embarrassing.
Wow, you're really good at getting first.
Seems like it's finally reaching the climax.
"Translator Ramblings"s are the best!
Is it just me or are the chapters being posted later than usual?
"Chief Elder's expression became grave as he stared closely at the bad of blood." bad-bead?
Pu Yao finally revealed his chuuni habit?!
With the sealed forbidden eye that could destroy the whole world(jie), little Pu Pu shall save everyone from the evil organization(Tian Huan) that is targeting them!
Wait.. i have a recurring feeling about saying pu yao's chuuni habits.. so it's not "finally" but instead "again" ?
Thanks for the chapter WYHCWE and WanderingGummiOfDoom! Looks like an opponent worthy of these two old generals has finally appeared.
So it's magic powerup after all.
I kind of hoped for some enlightment from watching elder master craft, deconstruction etc.

Syrian refugee plan to go ahead in Luxembourg
Luxembourg's government will continue with its predecessors' plans to welcome 60 Syrian refugees to Luxembourg.
There were concerns that the project, announced by immigration minister Nicolas Schmit last August, would be halted by the new government.
However, Luxembourg's Prime Minister confirmed that the country had an international obligation to see the project through.
"I do not know where the discussions are," Xavier Bettel said after a meeting of the Government Council on Friday morning, adding: "But I know we have international obligations and we must respect them."
Luxembourg's immigration ministry said that the "goal still stands" and all that remains to be done is to resolve some technical issues. The refugees are due to arrive in the Grand Duchy in the first half of 2014.
They will be housed in a home in Weilerbach, close to the Luxembourg border with Germany.
The accommodation plans have been criticised by foreign workers' association ASTI, which suggests such an isolated location will do nothing to help the refugees integrate in Luxembourg.

Nursing School and Programs: An Introduction
November 29, 2017 By Molly 4 Mins Read
The health-care industry has continued to change dramatically over the past few years, transforming the roles of nurses and escalating the opportunities for those who graduate from nursing school. The current shortage of nurses is caused by an increasing number of hospitalized patients who are older and more acutely ill, a growing elderly population with multiple chronic health problems, and expanded opportunities in HMOs, home care, occupational health, surgical centers, and other primary-care settings. Expanding technological advances that prolong life also require more highly skilled personnel.
The increasing scope of nursing opportunities will grow immensely as nurses become the frontline providers of health care. They are assuming important roles in the provision of managed care, and they will be responsible for coordinating and continuing the care outside traditional health-care facilities. Nurses will play a major role in educating the public and addressing the social and economic factors that impact quality of care.
Worldwide standards for students at nursing school
Nursing students of the future will receive a wealth of information. Understanding the technology used to manage that information will be essential to their ability to track and assess care. In this area, nurses will be able to provide care over great distances.
In some areas, care is being managed by the nurse via tele-home health over the Internet. Use of the Internet and other computer-oriented systems is now an integral tool used by nurses. Nurses of the future, therefore, will have to become aware of worldwide standards of care. Nevertheless, the primary job of a nurse will be making sure that the right person is providing the right care at the right cost.
This goal will be accomplished as the industry turns away from the hospital as the center of operation. Nurses will work in a broad array of locations, including clinics, outpatient facilities, community centers, schools, and even places of business. Opportunities at a nursing college can help students prepare for this range of responsibilities.
Much of the emphasis in health care will shift to preventive care and the promotion of health. In this system, nurses will take on a broader and more diverse role than they have in the past.
Unlimited opportunities for nursing college graduates
The four-year baccalaureate programs in today's nursing schools provide the educational and experiential base not only for entry-level professional practice, but also as the platform on which to build a career through graduate-level study for advanced practice nursing, including careers as nurse practitioners, nurse-midwives, clinical specialists, and nurse administrators and educators.
Nurses at this level can be expected to specialize in oncology, pediatrics, neonatology, obstetrics and gynecology, critical care, infection control, psychiatry, women's health, community health, and neuroscience. The potential and responsibilities at this level are great. Increasingly, many families use the nurse practitioner for all health-care needs. In almost all U.S. states, the nurse practitioner can prescribe medications and provide health care for the management of chronic non-acute illnesses and preventive care.
The health-care system demands a lot from nurses. The education of a student at a school of nursing must transcend the traditional areas of study, such as chemistry and anatomy, to include health promotion, disease prevention, screening, genetic counseling, and immunization. Nurses should understand how health problems may have a social cause, such as poverty and environmental contamination, and they must develop insight into human psychology, behavior, and cultural mores and values.
Nursing job growth is predicted
The transformation of the health-care system offers unlimited opportunities for nurses at the baccalaureate and graduate levels as care in urban and rural settings becomes more accessible. According to the U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics, employment of RNs will grow more quickly than the average for all occupations through 2012, due largely to growing demand in settings such as health maintenance organizations, community health centers, home care, and long-term care.
The increased complexity of health problems and increased management of health problems outside of hospitals require highly educated and well-prepared nurses from nursing schools at the baccalaureate and graduate levels. It is an exciting era in nursing that holds exceptional promise for nurses with a baccalaureate nursing degree.
Competitive compensation for nurses with degrees
The compensation for new nurses is once again becoming competitive with that of other industries. Entry-level nurses with baccalaureate degrees from a nursing program can expect a salary range of about $31,000 to $46,000 per year, depending on geographic location and experience. Five years into their careers, the national average for nurses with four-year degrees is more than $50,000 per year, with many earning more than $65,000. The current shortage has prompted some employers to offer sign-on bonuses and other incentives to attract and retain staff.

Please enjoy this interview with Danny Thompson with historic pictures from the build website thompsonlsr.com. Additional images courtesy of Holly Martin Photography.
What a great story of perseverance. Thanks for sharing it Danny!
Please show your support for Danny and the team by checking out their online Challenger 2.5 store, or please leave a comment if the story's got you thinking about projects you worked on with your pops. I know I am.


Whisk Wednesdays rolled around again yesterday, and while I had planned to serve the beef roast on Wednesday, our week went as such that I wasn't certain anyone was going to actually be here to partake of it, so I made and served it tonight instead.
Part 1 - Éstouffade de Boeuf Provençale (Braised Beef Casserole, Provence Style) and braising.
I did think it was very very good also. Definitely a keeper. I served it with a garden salad and some sliced perfectly ripe nectarines. The guys thought they maybe would like some potatoes with it, or at least that was the excuse when they headed down to the Men's Den with a bag of potato chips to fill the potato "void."
I know why French food is so expensive. They use expensive ingredients, the dishes take forever and a day to prepare much of the time, and you need a certain amount of know-how in the kitchen to effectuate even a smattering of a hope that yours will turn out in much hoped-for success. I am counting this one as a success.
The recipe calls for fatback, 5 ounces, to be larded in the 2-1/2 pound roast and I really didn't want to do this, but I wanted to be a player, so I did it. If you look at the photo of my plate, you can see the globules of orangish colored fat floating in the sauce...this is not something I care for, so I am not sure I would do that next time at all, or if I did, I would plan to make the roast one day, park it all in the frig for a few hours so the fat would solidify and then scrape that off and toss all that out, and reheat the whole dish to serve it. I think most of the fat could be skimmed off most efficiently using that method.
There are 4 cups of red wine in this...I am not all that great on picking out wines for cooking, so I just grabbed a bottle of Mondavi Cabernet Sauvignon and that really was a nice flavor with the beef. Years ago Mark and I visited the Mondavi winery in California and I tend to reach for a Mondavi bottle as it never disappoints and is modestly priced. The winery is spectacular...set at the foot of the mountains with beautiful rose bushes blooming all over the property...if you are in the area, go tour it, it is just romantic and wonderful and beautiful. Oh, yeah...back to the recipe...there are also three tablespoons of cognac in the broth and while not a huge flavor, you could taste it in there and it did add a little something-something to it. In the broth also were onions, garlic, carrots, herbs, peppercorns, and tomatoes. Kalamata olives were added at the end, so those provided the salt flavoring.
You need to plan ahead with this recipe as the roast needs to marinate overnight, but that was no problem. Okay, mine actually marinated an extra night because of the scheduling around here, but believe me, this was definitely an okay thing to do...it may have added that much more flavor, I will need to let you know when I make it next and only marinate it one night. The recipe recommended marinating it "at least 12 hours." I think mine marinated 42 hours and it was really really great in flavor.
If you want to make this recipe at your own home, just purchase the cookbook Le Cordon Bleu at Home and give it a go. The techniques you need are shown clearly in the book, so rest assured it is all very simple if you take it one step at a time. I think you will be very pleased with the results. It was such a hit here that Mark wanted to make certain I knew he wanted me to make this again...he kept telling me over and over, "This is very very good. I really really like this recipe a lot." It's always nice when the partakers are so appreciative!

Senior Lions and junior Gaels capture titles in differing fashions
GUELPH – The District 10 high school girls' basketball championship doubleheader at the Guelph Gryphons Athletic Centre Saturday night featured two title tilts with totally different scripts.
The St. James Lions captured the senior crown in the nightcap after prevailing 45-38 over the Centennial Spartans in a defensive battle while the Guelph CVI Green Gaels put it in top gear early to run away with junior honours in the opening game as they downed the Ross Royals 59-30.
Both senior teams and the junior Gaels advance to CWOSSA regional championship tournaments in the next week.
"Both teams are built on defence first and offence kind of runs off that," St. James coach Michael O'Rourke said.
While each team won two quarters in the final, it was a 16-9 first-quarter performance by the Lions that led to the win as the Spartans never caught up.
"We know they have some strong shooters on their team so we really try to break out and try to deny the ball," St. James captain Grace Mencfeld said. She was her team's MVP of the final. "We try to not let them take shots and get every single rebound. That was our plan going into the game, but we knew we also had to work on offence just as hard as defence."
The Lions' lead fell a couple of point to five (22-17) at halftime before it grew by three (34-26) by the end of the third quarter. The Spartans remained close behind throughout, but just couldn't pull even.
Both teams struggled with their shooting as the different sight-lines in the GGAC proved to be difficult to overcome. High school gyms have walls behind the baskets and solid backboards while the university gym has stands behind and clear backboards. There's also stands on both sides at the university, something no D10 high school has in its gym.
"The shooting is the X factor in this gym," O'Rourke said.
The teams actually took a little solace knowing that neither one's season was going to end Saturday night. St. James moves on to the CWOSSA AA tournament at Simcoe Thursday and Friday while Centennial will be off to the CWOSSA AAA tournament at Brantford Friday and Saturday.
"There was a lot of pressure going into the game, but it was nice knowing that we were both going to CWOSSA so that was a little relaxing," Mencfeld said. "But we still had the goal of winning D10 this year so we just wanted to reach that goal first before thinking about CWOSSA."
Mencfeld led all scorers with 19 points while Olivia Brown had 10 for the Lions. Elivia Garbuio and Elizabeth Malone added seven apiece and Amanda Lago had two.
Centennial's game MVP Sarah Cobey had 14 points for the Spartans while Jocelyn Newby had 13, Jessica Zhu six, Trinity Burke three and Madison Miller two.
Now it's time for both to look ahead to the CWOSSA tournaments.
"I don't what to expect there," Mencfeld said. "I don't know any teams there. We haven't looked at that yet, but we need to play hard defence, do our same sets and just work hard."
Play at tournaments this season might be an indication of how well the Lions will do and they've claimed three consolation championships which means they've rebounded to win every game they played after a first-round setback.
"In tournaments we've done all right," Mencfeld said. "Our tournaments have really brought us together as a team. We have girls stepping up as scorers, girls stepping up as rebounders, girls playing more defence so the tournaments have really made us come together as a team."
While D10 teams have won the past 14 CWOSSA AA senior titles – 13 of them by the Bishop Macdonell Celtics – it isn't the same easy path it used to be when there were four categories, all based on school enrollment. OFSAA added the AAAA category in 2002, but returned to a three-category system in 2015 and that meant that some of the schools that were in AAA were now in AA.
"CWOSSA's going to be hard," O'Rourke said. "It's not a walk. It's going to be a hard fight and that's the way it should be."
"WCSAA never had a AA team before and District 8 never had a AA team before. You'd go play country teams, but now you're going against some city teams that are used to winning. We're going to play teams that are champions in their region and they're used to winning and they expect to win. It's going to be tough and hopefully we can go down there and get the next step."
WCSAA and District 8 schools are based in Waterloo Region with the majority of them in Kitchener, Waterloo and Cambridge.
The dominant team in D10 team junior girls' basketball's regular season was the dominant team in the final, too, as the GCVI Green Gaels burst out of the gates to leave Ross behind.
"The girls executed really well," GCVI coach Rich Tremain said. "We're a high-octane kind of team and we like to run up and down the floor. We started out that way and we were able to relax a little bit in the second half."
The Gaels sprinted to a 24-8 lead by the end of the first quarter and stretched that to 37-12 at halftime. The gap continued to grow in the third quarter as GCVI ended the quarter up 54-17 before easing off the gas pedal in the fourth quarter.
"It's certainly the best team I've ever coached," Tremain said. "We have so much more depth than any team I've had at a junior girls' high school level. Having said that, CWOSSA's tough this year. There's a lot of really good teams and we've played a couple of them that we'll see next week and we've got our work cut out for us at CWOSSA, for sure. But this team, certainly we have the depth and we have the skills and the ability to take that championship, but it's going to take a lot of work."
Bad news for the rest of the D10 junior loop, the majority of GCVI's 12-player roster are Grade 9s and will be eligible to stay in junior if they desire.
"My suspicion would be that some of them would move up to senior next year," Tremain said. "That's what my guess would be. We'll see how next weekend goes. Obviously, as a high school student you'd like to have a CWOSSA title if you can so the only thing that I think would hold three or four of them back would be if they didn't get that title and they'd come back for that opportunity. But who knows? A year is a long time away."
The team also made its mix of Grade 9s and Grade 10s work well, although the younger players were the ones who saw the majority of playing time.
"We have nine Grade 9s on our team so the Grade 10s welcomed them and understood that there were strong Grade 9s coming in," Tremain said. "Everybody accepts their role really well and we've really come together. Like any team, we've had our ups and downs this year, but we're rolling along."
Jordyn Best collected 15 points for the Gaels while Maddy Boyd, judged to be their MVP of the final, had 14. Acadia Tremain netted nine with Jada Beuttenmiller getting six and Claudia Durbin adding four.
Ross's game MVP Bronwyn Sweeney had 10 points while Ailani Curvan had eight and Maren Mau and Susannah Morris hit for six apiece.
While GCVI played its way into the CWOSSA AAA junior tournament, D10's two representatives in the CWOSSA AA junior tournament were decided as soon as the Bishop Macdonell Celtics didn't field a junior squad. That left the Lourdes Crusaders and St. James Lions as the two AA schools in the league.

Thomas Martin at work in studio in Cumas, New Ross.
What a Wonderful WorldThis displays scenes from Louis Armstrong's song 'What a wonderful world'. 'we have trees of green, skies of blue, red roses too. The colours of the rainbow and people shaking hands'. A man is looking at nature through a telescope. In his imagination he sees objects from the shades of the clouds. Finally, he sees God and his cup of destiny.
SamsonSamson was a character from the Bible in the Old Testament. Samson was an Israelite hero who fought the Philistines. He has great strength which he got from his hair. But he made friends with a Philistine woman called Delilah and told her the secret of his strength. So one day she cut off his hair so he was easily captured. The Philistines brought him to their temple and chained him up. But his hair grew again. Here we see him pushing the pillars and as they crack, the temple falls down and everyone is killed.
The BullfightBullfighting is considered a 'sport' but personally I consider it cruel and unfair. The bull, unlike the Matador, has no choice but to be teased, clowned around with, speared, and if he survives the fight, is put to death afterwards. The Matador, however, receives all the honours. The spectators gloat as the bull is misused. The whole affair is a modern version of the Colosseum.
Vinegar Hill - 1798 RisingFor centuries, Ireland was under British rule. There were several rebellions to free Ireland until the country was eventually free. Such rebellion was the 1798 Rising. Much of it took place in the County of Wexford. Ordinary farmers, led by Father John Murphy, revolted against British Rule. The Rebels had many victories before being finally defeated. The turning point was Vinegar Hill. Father Murphy and many of his men were executed. The moon was reputed to turn red. In 1800, the British Government passed the Act of Union to safeguard the British Empire in Ireland. Songs like 'Boolavogue' and 'Kelly of Killane' were composed to commemorate the ill-fated rising.
Streets of LondonThis painting is a scene taken from Ralph McTell's song 'The Streets of London'. A boy is dying and tells an angel that he is lonely. The angel takes the boy's hand and shows him what suffering goes on in the world in general and London in particular. So the boy changes his mind and is resigned to dying.
The Temple of JerusalemThe original temple of Jerusalem was allegedly built during the reign of Kind Solomon 1000 B.C. It was destroyed in 70 A.D. by the Romans. When the Jews were scattered all over the world in 1948, the modern state of Israel was formed so a new temple was built.
Dr. FaustDr. Faust lived in the middle ages. He was an unscrupulous doctor who practiced magic and the black arts. Through black magic he raised the devil. He made a pact with the devil. He sold his soul for 24 years of high pleasure and forbidden knowledge. He had a passion for knowledge. Faust enjoyed his 24 years of passion. When his time was up, however, Faust tried to repent but the devil strangled him and dragged him to hell.
Rat RaceThe painting is a satire - it shows a pack of rats having a race across a track. It has a start and a finish, like any race, but it really shows what the human race is up to. In short, the human race is represented by the rats. The circus is the world. The prize is supposed to be a pot of gold. But at the finish, there is a headstone which is marked R.I.P. The picture points out the meaninglessness of the race which is encouraged by false goals. There is a saying 'Over the rainbow, there stands a pot of gold. An old man found it once we were told.' Hence the rainbow. People are so caught up with the world circus, that they lose direction in life.
Inside the VaticanThe title of the painting I got from a television series by the late Peter Ustinov 'Inside the Vatican'. The setting of the scene is the grounds of the Vatican. There is an interviewer asking the Pope - John 23rd - questions about the Vatican. He asks the Pope: 'How many people are there working in the Vatican?' 'About half', replies the Pope. Pope John the 23rd was Pope from 1958 to his death in 1963. This is the man generally responsible for the Vatican II.
NemesisThis is an anti-blood sports picture. The huntsman (in red coat) has hunted down a pet fox that was owned by the other man in the picture. The foxhounds had torn the fox asunder. The angry owner, in revenge, has strung up the huntsman by the heels. The huntsman has to wait an hour or two for someone to rescue him. He would be unlikely to hunt anymore foxes.


The town of Přelouč is situated on the left bank of the Labe River near Pardubice. Přelouč is historically one of the oldest communities of the region.The first settlement is "Na dole" - it´s area around Labe River. In 1086 King Vratislav gave it with a Benedicine Order cloister in Opatovice n/L. In 11. century Přelouč was important hop-garden. One of the oldest factories were mills, but they were demolished during the Thirty Years´War. On Setember 8, 1261 King Přemysl Otakar II bestowed Town Status upon Přelouč and ever sice then the town has been using a black grid in a golden field as its coat of arms.
The oldest church in our town is church of St. Jakub. This time is full of renovation old building so many this building has got a new facade different colours.
Přelouč developed its Renaissance charakter in 16. century and the town councillors managed to make the town a Royal Chamber Town in 1580. People who were important for our town are Tomáš of Přelouč - he was bishop in Přelouč in 15. century, František Veverka - one of brothers who invented "ruchadlo". He has been buried also in funeral in Přelouč. And of course František Filipovský - the famous actor Czech Television.
Thanks to being situated on the railway business artery, Přelouč became econimically the second ranking town in the Pardubice region and until 1960 it was the District Centre.
Přelouč has today about 9500 people living in a 31 square kilometre area. The majority live in the town proper, the rest live in the seven integrated communities of Lohenice, Mělice, Klenovka, Tupesy, Lhota and Štěpánov. The most important are plants in the field of electronics and machinery, however one finds here other business activities in construction, energy, gas, water and processing. Agriculture is centred mainly in surrounding communities. If you will travel to Přelouč you will see the citizens´ Bank tower on the TGM square, which is a dominant view of our town. This building annually becomes the site of a social gathering gor the presentation of the František Filipovský Prize for outstanding achievement in dubbing.
In this time Přelouč is town with many small and bigger firms. You can find there two hotels - Fontána and Sport and many goods restaurants. There are also places where we can go in for sport, because there are tennis coursts, summer stadion and several school and private playgrounds and of course fitness centrum.
Railway station was one year ago renovated and so it looks more better in this time. Railway is important for transport and traffic. Every day many people travel by train to school and to work.
In Přelouč we can find two health establishments. The first is near railway station and most of Přelouč´s people call it Old Hospital and the second is situated next to house for seniors. There are emergency, GP doctor and chemist´s.
Although Přelouč isn´t a big city, it still maintains its historical and contemporary significance.

I am 24 years old. I was diagnosed four months ago with diabetes. The doctor is not sure if I am Type 1 or Type 2. I am currently trying to control my levels with Glucophage [metformin, a pill for Type 2 diabetes] 2000mg daily, Avandia [rosiglitazone, another pill for Type 2, from a different class] 16mg daily, and Actos [pioglitazone, a pill in the same class as Avandia] 30mg daily. I am also on a medication for high cholesterol. In spite of this medication, I am still getting fasting levels of up to 150 mg/dl [8.3 mmol/l]. My fasting levels were around 330 mg/dl [18.3 mmol/l] before medication. I have had two miscarriages and one premature birth at 26 weeks gestation. Could these problems have been caused by undiagnosed diabetes? I have also had periods 3 months or more apart, this has improved since I started taking the medication. Is the medication helping me to ovulate? Do Glucophage, Avandia, and Actos increase fertility? Is the medication doing enough or should I request insulin? I should also mention that I have been unable to achieve a pregnancy for four years now, even though I have been trying. Please help me answer these questions. I don't feel comfortable asking my doctor and can't switch doctors for insurance reasons.
The diabetes may have contributed to the miscarriages, but they may have occurred due to other reasons. Diabetes does not directly cause pre-term delivery. It is usually due to associated risks of preeclampsia, poor fetal growth or poor placental function.
The oral hypoglycemic agents can improve ovulation and thus increase fertility. If you are considering another pregnancy then you should be started on insulin for glucose control. Failure to conceive can be due to many reasons other than infrequent ovulation. I would suggest that you consult with a specialist in infertility.

On-Demand Finishing — One-stop Shops
CMI has long performed its own finishing, including saddle stitching, perfect binding and Double-O wire binding. The same holds true for its digital environment: in-line saddle stitcher with three-knife trimming, handfed perfect binder, six-pocket Muller Martini stitcher, a 27-pocket Muller perfect binder, and high-speed Double-O wire punches and binders.
"By having everything under one roof, we're able to apply whatever technology is the most cost-effective for that particular project," notes Steinberg. "We produce a lot of print-on-demand work, have a Web-based order and fulfillment system, and provide variable imaging and personalization on digital equipment."
Inserting, personalization, mailing, fulfillment and distribution are other services the mid-sized printer offers in order to complete the single-source loop. "Our philosophy has always been to be a one-stop shop for our customers and we've tried to encompass whatever technology is out there to meet their needs," Steinberg says.
Often times, digital and conventional printing methods can serve as mutual catalysts. This has been the case for Seattle-based Emerald City Graphics, a 75-employee printer with sales in the $14 million range.
According to Mark Steiner, president of Emerald City, the sheetfed printer thrives on a number of big-ticket clients in the great Northwest—Microsoft, Boeing and Starbucks. Primarily a general commercial printer, Emerald—also a member of the CGX organization—produces a fair measure of short- and medium-run books and manuals.
"Not only do we do clients' high-end commercial work, we do their digital work, as well," Steiner remarks. "Sometimes we will start out doing their digital work, and it leads to getting commercial work, and vice versa. They can bring it all to one place. With digital capabilities, it allows us to turn jobs quicker."
On the digital end, Emerald City uses a Xerox DocuTech 6180 and a DocuColor 2060. Finishing capabilities include in-line saddle stitching with face trim. The company can perform corner stapling and tape binding in-line, as well. Custom vinyl binders are also produced in-house. Off-line, Emerald City performs Wire-O and spiral binding.

David Bowie's influence on me has been huge. My lifelong obsession with makeup began when I was seven years old after watching him play Jareth the Goblin King in Labyrinth. Ever since then I was obsessed with special effects and makeup. When I was a bit older I got in to his music and this opened up a whole new world for me. It's no surprise that I've made a career out of music, makeup and fashion, and I owe a huge part of this to him.
To celebrate his life and his unquestionable influence on makeup, fashion, art and, of course, music, I wanted to share with you one of my favourite shoots. About two years ago myself and my good friend, and photographer, Solen Collet, decided to shoot a fashion tribute to Bowie. It's called 'The Girl Who Fell to Earth' and it features the gorgeous and other worldly Emily Fulton. We also roped in our favourite hairdresser and fellow Bowie fan, Robbie Purves at ArtHaus Hair, to put his own modern twist on Bowie's iconic hairstyles. The makeup look was predominantly inspired by Life On Mars, and was originally going to be shot on top of some huge red shale bings, which look like the surface of Mars (they were also similar to the hill he runs down in The Man Who Fell to Earth). Unfortunately the unpredictable Scottish weather got in the way and we had to move indoors, so it has a slightly more industrial feel to it, which still works really well.
So, pop on your favourite Bowie album and enjoy these photos.


Research to date suggests that career mothers comprise a uniquely derogated social group; however, the nature and content of negativity toward this group remains unknown. The purpose of the present program of study was to construct and validate an attitudinal scale measuring negativity toward career mothers, the Career Mothers Inventory (CMI). Three theoretical tenets were posited to underlie negativity toward career mothers: 1) career mothers cannot keep up with the work expected of them in a competitive and/or productivity-based environment; 2) career mothers do not work as hard and are not as devoted to their jobs as others (i.e., their co-workers) who do not have children; and, 3) career mothers expect that concessions or special accommodations will be made for their childcare needs. In accordance with best practices scale development literature, a pilot project and a series of three independent studies were carried out. The purpose of the pilot project was to generate potential scale items. In studies 1 (N = 290) and 2 (N = 468), the CMI was found to be unidimensional and possess "excellent" (α = .90) and "good" (α = .82) internal consistency. Support for the CMI's convergent validity was found via its positive association with other measures of sexism. The CMI was inversely related to liberal and egalitarian attitudes, providing additional convergent validity evidence. The purpose of Study 3 (N = 123) was to triangulate evidence of negativity toward career mothers by linking the CMI to stereotypic ratings of, and behavioural intentions toward, career mothers (via an experimental study utilizing hypothetical research applicants). The results of Study 3 revealed a trend in the expected direction such that negativity toward career mothers as measured by the CMI was associated with lower ratings of competence and commitment for the hypothetical applicant. The expected relationship between the CMI and hiring intentions was not found. Limitations associated with the current series of studies and recommendations for the CMI's use in workplace settings are outlined.

By Bob Finnan BFinnan.com, Bob Finnan RFinnan.com and Bob Finnan |
PUBLISHED: January 21, 2013 at 7:11 a.m. | UPDATED: July 15, 2021 at 10:22 a.m.
Because of the medication Cavaliers center Anderson Varejao is now taking, it's too big of a risk for him to play again this season. He developed a clot — a pulmonary embolism in his right lung — and was admitted to the Cleveland Clinic Sports Health last Thursday. The 30-year-old Varejao is being treated with blood thinners and is expected to remain in the Clinic for several days. The 6-foot-11, 260-pounder will need to remain on anticoagulant medication for about three months. If he were to get cut, it would be hard to stop the bleeding because he's taking blood thinners. "It's not the actual blood clot," Cavs general manager Chris Grant said. "It's the blood thinners. When you're on blood thinners, they really don't want you to drive. If you were to get in an accident and have any kind of internal bleeding it can become a pretty serious problem. The blood thinners run a course of three months, which is normal in these situations. That puts us outside the rest of the regular season." It's the third consecutive season wiped out by injuries for Varejao. "Our hearts go out to him and his family," Grant said. "He's the epitome of what we want of our guys. He's had a tough go from an injury standpoint." Varejao injured his right knee on Dec. 18 vs. Toronto. He had surgery on Jan. 10 that doctors said would sideline him for six to eight weeks. At the time of the injury, he was averaging 14.1 points, an NBA-high 14.4 rebounds and 3.4 assists in 25 games. "My heart just goes out to him," Cavs coach Byron Scott said. "He's had some bad luck in the last three years. I'm sure it's devastating to him. I feel real bad for him." — He had ankle surgery in 2010-11, which caused him to miss 51 games. — He had a fractured wrist in 2011-12, which caused him to miss 41 games. — Now, he'll miss 57 games with the knee surgery/blood clot. He's been replaced in the starting lineup by rookie center Tyler Zeller. Grant said he visited Varejao on Monday at the Clinic. "His spirits are up," he said. "He's frustrated. He wants to play. Every time you see him he's still got that big smile." Grant said he's not sure the clot was a result of Varejao's surgery. "We're fairly confident it's not a reaction to the surgery, but you don't know with 100 percent certainty," he said. Grant refused to say Varejao is injury-prone. "They've all been really freak things," he said. "None of them were related. Certainly he's frustrated. We're frustrated for him and with him. We would love to have him out there, particularly the type of year he was having." Cavs guard Kyrie Irving said it was a case of bad news getting worse. "Losing him already was bad enough for us," he said. "The news got worse today. We wish him the best. We're all going to be there for him morale-wise, just try to be there for him as best as we can as teammates. That's all we can do right now." Irving's All-Star chances The 30 NBA head coaches have until Wednesday to vote on the reserves for the NBA All-Star Game. They'll vote for two guards, three front-court positions and two at-large picks. Coaches can't vote for their own players. Seven reserves in each conference will be announced on Thursday. Irving hopes to make the Eastern Conference team. "For me, personally, I just let the coaches decide that," Irving said. "I let my game speak for itself, and whatever the coaches decide, I'll be fine with. If I'm an All-Star, I'd feel really blessed. But if not, I'm truly understanding. I feel like my play speaks for itself." Scott said he thinks Irving deserves a nod. "To me, I think it's a no-brainer," he said. "I don't think there's another point guard in the Eastern Conference who has played as well. He's one of two point guards in the East that's averaging 22 points and 5.0 assists. I think he has a pretty good shot at it." Quick shots — Grant wouldn't comment on the possibility of signing former Ohio State center Greg Oden. "All players that are out there we're going to do our updates and understand and know what their current status is," he said. "But we're not going to get into internal discussions we're having with anybody along those lines." The 7-footer has had three microfracture surgeries in the last five years. — The Cavs have a roster spot open. Another possibility is Canton Charge forward/center Arinze Onuaku (6-9, 275). "We're constantly looking at those opportunities," Grant said. "There's always a positive to these types of situations and for this it's our other guys get a chance to play. We'll look at different options, looking at the D-League and approaching the trade deadline, we'll keep our eyes open." — The Cavs assigned power forward Kevin Jones to Canton. Jones has played in 15 games for the Cavs this season and is averaging 1.9 points and 1.5 rebounds. He was dominant with the Charge earlier in the season when he had four double-doubles in five games. He averaged 23.6 points, 12.6 rebounds and 1.4 steals. — The Cupid's Undie Run will be Feb. 16, at The Southside, 2207 West 11th St., Cleveland. It's a one-mile run. To register, go to:

If I had a dollar for every time someone asked "What's the right type of yoga for me?" I may not be teaching yoga anymore. There is no one right type of yoga. Today there are many options for location, type, time, instructor, approach, etc. Whether you are new to yoga or simply rethinking your practice, the following may be helpful to think about.
Your Goal – What do you want to accomplish with your yoga practice? Would you like to elevate your heart rate and sweat a little? Is your focus on alignment, strength, flexibility, stability? Would you like to be more mindful, centered and present? Are you looking for a physical or mental challenge or both? Is meditation important? Is chanting included in your practice? Do you prefer your yoga to be like a long Winter's nap?
The Location – I don't know what it's like where you live but in Durham, NC, feels like yoga is popping up on every corner. You can find yoga in studios, gyms, the YMCA, churches, the mall, wine shops, breweries, a park, etc. Once again, what is important to you? It is an adventure to attend a popup yoga class at the local brewery but you may be taking your chances with cleanliness, props, instructor, etc. A little research can go a long way. Make sure the space has what you need and that you can peel your mat off the floor at the end of class.
The Instructor – For me, the instructor makes the class. Training and certification are important but I have attended classes with highly trained teachers that were not my favorite classes. Finding a connection with your instructor is critical. What do you need from your instructor? Would you value an instructor with a strong knowledge of yogic philosophy and Sanskrit? Would you like to be serious about your practice but playful in execution? Are you looking for someone to correct every detail of each pose? Would your prefer the instructor to "meet you where you are" in your practice? If you have special needs, share this with your instructor. Their response and knowledge may determine if this is a good fit for you.
The Students – Is it important to feel a sense of community with the other participants? Would you like to develop a relationship with your classmates or do you prefer to keep to yourself?
The Type of Yoga – Types of yoga continue to develop and appear. To learn more about various types, click here. DoYogaWithMe provides a concise summary of 14 styles of yoga.
Class Name – Not sure what to tell you here. There are no consistent guidelines for naming a yoga class. Read the description. If that does not provide enough information, contact the instructor. Tell the instructor what you are looking for and determine if the class is a good fit.
What Is "My Type" Of Yoga?
Recently someone asked me, "Meg, what do you call the type of yoga you teach?" Wow! My entire teaching history flashed through my mind. I have been teaching movement and exercise for more years than not. I do not teach a specific type of yoga or school of Pilates. Participants have ranged from 8 to 103 years of age. I have yelled into a mic teaching cycle classes and I have held someone in my arms as together we lowered into a swimming pool on a lift. Goals have included safely training for a competitive run to problem-solving getting up from the floor in case of an unexpected fall. What occurs in all the classes I teach? Hmmm … regardless of the class name, I teach Mindful Movement.
The Goal – The goal of my classes is you paying attention to you ~ you waking up to your body. Classes include controlled movement focusing on alignment, strength, flexibility, stability, and what you feel. We explore movement and stillness. When do you feel powerful? What does it take for you relax, to let go of tension?
Although your heart rate may increase a bit and you could break a sweat, these are not aerobic training classes. It is controlled, slower, fluid, precise movement and not dynamic, fast, or repetitive. We always begin class determining students' requests and needs. If someone has a tight back or wants to focus on upper body strength, as a group we pay attention to those areas. You develop an improved awareness of your body and movement. Physical and mental challenges are experienced. We always take a few minutes for stillness and meditation. Chanting is not included in my classes.
The Location – Over the years I have taught in many venues. I enjoy teaching a special event or popup class every-now-and-then but my preference is a casual, laid-back studio. Although I have taught in gyms and the YMCA, the larger classes are not as appealing to me. Studio classes typically have less than 20 participants. It allows for a more personal connection. I want a clean space and adequate props (blocks, blankets, bolsters, etc.). When the studio is a part of the community, the class is typically more community oriented. That's my preference.
The Instructor (That's me!) – I am all about the connection. My goal is meeting you where you are. Class always includes a slow start, increasing intensity, and gradually slowing down. I am serious about movement, mindfulness and all of us paying attention to our bodies, our actions and our life. I believe that the time you spend in class impacts your entire life. It should be fun. I want to laugh in life and encourage laughter in class. Options, options, options! There is an option for everything. When you are paying attention to your body, you know if you need an option. If I have not already given it, ask. It is important for me to possess the knowledge and skills to be a qualified instructor. Click here, to check out my story and qualifications. Your safety is super important and modifications are offered to prevent injury. Contact me to know more.
The Students – Who attends my classes? People desiring to be part of a community as well as focused on their personal experience. There is always conversation before and after (and often comments during) class. Students are serious about their 60-75 minutes but look forward to laughing and learning as it makes sense. Feel like keeping to yourself some days? It's never a surprise to see someone quietly set up in a relaxing pose before class. There is no pressure to join in the banter. It's a respectful community, honoring what others need from class to class.
The Type of Yoga – Based on the article, 14 Different Style of Yoga, most of my classes include a bit of the following ~ Hatha, Vinyasa, Yin, and Restorative. You will also find a bit of Pilates.
Class Name – Find more detail about my classes by clicking on the class name (Pilates Yoga Fusion, Yin Yoga, Yin Yang Yoga, Pilates for Parkinson's).
What's the right type yoga for you? One that you enjoy and keeps you coming back. The benefits of yoga seem limitless and unique to each participant. You may experience shifts in your physical, mental, emotional and/or energetic quality of life. I recommend that everyone give it a try. Classes are as different as instructors. I was told recently, "The instructor makes all the difference and Meg, I will follow you anywhere." Take time and find the instructor you will follow anywhere.
If you are having trouble finding the right class, send me a note, maybe I can help you come up with helpful questions for when you contact a studio or instructor. If you live in the Durham, Chapel Hill, Hillsborough, Raleigh areas, join me for a class. Have fun moving mindfully!
Feel free to leave a comment or ask a question here. I will get back to you ASAP. Others may benefit from what you share.
Awesome!, thanks for the tips!
You are welcome. Enjoy finding a class that's right for you.

No Horse Required: Get Inside Seattle's Bike Polo Community
Fitness Thursday, May 8, 2014 Written by Jon Bell
It started as a way for Seattle bike messengers to pass the time between deliveries.
It's since turned into a highly organized sport with more than 200 clubs across the country, hundreds more around the globe and annual world championships that showcase some of the best of the best.
Welcome to the world of hardcourt bike polo, a gritty game that pits two teams of three bike-riding, mallet-wielding players against each other in a goal-scoring battle. Though the sport has grown over the past 15 years or so into a more organized form, in many urban parks in Portland, Seattle and elsewhere, it still retains much of its scrappy charm: fixies and single-speed freewheel bikes, facial hair, colorful wheel covers, homemade mallets and team names like the Axles of Evil, the Guardians and Call Me Daddy.
According to Matt Messenger, a Seattle contractor and former bike courier, hardcourt bike polo can trace its early beginnings to Seattle and the dot-com boom of the late 1990s. Messenger, then a courier for a company called Kozmo.com, said he and other messengers would play in nearby parking lots between deliveries. The game caught on and has since spread and evolved.
Long before Seattle, however, a slightly different form of bike polo — the original version — came to be in Ireland. According to the BBC, an Irishman named Richard Mecredy created bike polo on grass fields in 1891.
The rules for both versions are fairly similar, though in the grass iteration, teams have four players on the field at a time as opposed to three, and the fields are typically much larger. In hardcourt, riders who touch the ground with their feet — known as "dabbing" — must ride to a set area and touch it with their mallet before returning to play. Anyone can score and be goalie, and games usually last for a set time limit or end when one team gets five goals.
Intrigued by the idea of hardcourt bike polo? You're in luck. The scene is a social and friendly one, and most pickup games and organized clubs welcome new players whether you have gear or not. In Seattle, check out Seattle Bike Polo, which hosts sessions for varying levels of players almost every night of the week at Cal Anderson Park. In Portland, try Portland Bike Polo, which plays at Alberta Park almost every Sunday.

South Dakota executed 15 men between 1877 and 1947. Four of these executions were prior to statehood. Hanging was the only method used until 1913. The penalty was abolished in 1915 for 18 years, until 1933. Upon resumption of executions, the electric chair became the sole method of execution. South Dakota was second-to-last state to use electrocution, which was replaced for lethal injection in 1984. South Dakota's last execution prior to the twenty-first century was in 1947.
2007 marked the first and, to date, only execution in South Dakota since the death penalty was reinstated in 1979 following the Furman US Supreme Court decision. This execution was the result of a trial in 2001, and that case is still having and impact today. In 2001, Elijah Page and Briley Piper pleaded guilty to the torture-murder of Chester Allan Poage. They were both sentenced to death by a judge. Darrell Hoadley chose to plead innocent to the murder and was convicted by a jury. Though he was found to have the same aggravating factors against him, a split sentencing jury led to his receiving life in prison. Page chose to end his appeals and was executed in 2007. Piper challenged his death sentence and had it vacated, but in July 2011 he was re-sentenced to death by a jury and he continues his appeals.
The Catholic Advocate Network (CAN) is the grassroots public policy initiative of the Diocese of Sioux Falls. Many dioceses belong to a state Catholic Conference that conducts the public policy activities for the member dioceses in that state. In the absence of a Catholic Conference in South Dakota, CAN was created to educate, inform and alert the Catholic faithful in South Dakota about legislative actions.
In 2014, the Bishops of South Dakota came out with a statement calling for an end to the death penalty in the state and for support to promote the dignity and sanctity of all life.

Sounds Of The Underground @ Starland Ballroom
Duckie Blakney
SAYREVILLE, NJ—For a metal festival, this year's Sound Of The Underground wasn't half bad (that being said with a pinch of salt because it was about five billion degrees, and the one band I went to see, Heavy Heavy Low Low, didn't perform; more on that later). With a band lineup that looks interchangeable with Ozzfest, it was a bit uncomfortable to see the clash of genres stewing in the same sun-baked parking lot.
It's unfortunate that the first band, 2 Cents, wasn't well received by the audience; they were booed off stage with a couple thousand one-finger salutes. To the band, my apologies, and better luck next year.
This Is Hell's set sounded amazing, even though I was about a mile away waiting for the shuttle bus for transport from the parking lot to the Starland Ballroom. I'm just a touch peeved that I missed that set, seeing as how This Is Hell is one of the only hardcore bands with an old school punk edge that I actually enjoy.
As usual, The Devil Wears Prada were fun and one of the only nonmetal bands to actually get a positive crowd response. The crowd's reaction to these new kids on the block is definitely promising; if you can win the hearts of Goatwhore fans, your band must be doing something right.
It just wouldn't be a metal festival without talking about how intense the pits were during the sets of Every Time I Die and Shadows Fall. I counted at least a dozen kids coming from the pits with blood-stained shirts and busted lips; what good clean fun, eh?
I refuse to write about SOTU and not talk about Necro, the only rap act on this year's lineup. They refer to themselves as "death rap" (I assume it's due to their fusion of rap and death metal). Though this act wasn't my cup of tea, some people in the crowd seemed to dig it. That being said, there was also an open bar, and the air was thick with the stench of cannabis.
Heavy Heavy Low Low did not play, and for that I am still pissed. There were several inquiries on why the California grindcore band did not grace the stage and responses spanning from they weren't playing that day of the tour to they were too high to pick up their instruments were given. After further research (and by that I mean checking the HHLL MySpace account), I came to discover the band did in fact show up in Sayreville, NJ, but because they came late, they were cut them from the day's lineup.
The band that everyone came to see, Gwar, took the stage last. The blazing sun finally began to set, and there was enough "social lubricant" flowing through the crowd to open a speakeasy. Being the seasoned emo kid that I am, I was entirely too afraid to even watch the set, but it's safe to say there were gallons of stage blood and other fun fluids covering the crowd by the set's end.
Sounds Of The Underground 2007 was the most metal thing to happen to Jersey so far all summer. I pity any hardcore or metal fan from the area that missed the festivities.

Scott Ray White, 55, passed away Monday (May 28, 2018) at home, surrounded by his loving family, after a long battle with ocular melanoma. White established the Autonomous Materials Systems Group at the Beckman Institute, bringing together students and faculty from a range of disciplines to develop new materials with biologically inspired functions. A celebration of life will be held Sunday, June 3, at 1 p.m. in the Beckman Institute auditorium on the University of Illinois campus.
University of Illinois aerospace engineering professor Scott R. White, an innovator of self-healing and self-regulating materials, died Monday, May 28, of cancer at age 55.
White was recognized globally as an expert in autonomous materials—materials that can adapt or respond on their own. His research group at the Beckman Institute for Advanced Science and Technology at the U. of I. developed self-healing plastics, electronics, batteries and coatings; coatings and materials that indicate when they are damaged or strained; self-destructing devices to reduce electronic waste; and many other innovations to make materials safer and more reliable on both the micro and macro scale.
Not content to be limited to one self-healing pathway, White's group developed vascularized materials—composites filled with microfluidic channels, much like a biological circulatory system. The vasculature enabled his group to further develop plastics that not only heal cracks, but also can regenerate missing portions. See a video of White discussing the work.
White's group also explored the use of mechanophores—materials that change properties under mechanical stress—to develop polymers and coatings that change colors to indicate damage, strain, cracks or scratches. Most recently, the group developed a polymer-curing process for manufacturing strong, lightweight parts for airplanes or vehicles using tens of millions of times less energy.
White earned a doctorate in engineering mechanics at the Pennsylvania State University in 1990, joining the faculty at the U of I. the same year. He held more than 40 patents and co-founded two startup companies. He received widespread recognition for his work, including a Humboldt Research Award in 2013, the American Society for Composites Outstanding Research Award in 2014, and Scientific American magazine's "SciAm 50" award in 2007. He also received multiple teaching and mentorship awards for his work with students at Illinois.


It's hardly surprising that this second album is so powerful when its predecessor was that rouser of a single, Real Gone Kid. The singles pure pop energy runs through the entire album. from the wheezy accordians of Queen Of The New Year to the charmingly simple Silhouette'. Ricky Ross's knack for song writing and his husky tonsil-power draw the obvious comparisons with Prefab Sprout's Paddy MacAloon and at times even Nick Heyward. but ranking alongside some of Britain's best pop songwriters ain't bad going.
