Number of New Cases and Deaths per 100,000: The number of new cases of endometrial cancer was 25.4 per 100,000 women per year. The number of deaths was 4.5 per 100,000 women per year. These rates are age-adjusted and based on 2009-2013 cases and deaths.
Lifetime Risk of Developing Cancer: Approximately 2.8 percent of women will be diagnosed with endometrial cancer at some point during their lifetime, based on 2011-2013 data.
Prevalence of This Cancer: In 2013, there were an estimated 635,437 women living with endometrial cancer in the United States.
Survival StatisticsShow More
How Many People Survive 5 Years Or More after Being Diagnosed with Endometrial Cancer?
Relative survival statistics compare the survival of patients diagnosed with cancer with the survival of people in the general population who are the same age, race, and sex and who have not been diagnosed with cancer. Because survival statistics are based on large groups of people, they cannot be used to predict exactly what will happen to an individual patient. No two patients are entirely alike, and treatment and responses to treatment can vary greatly.
Percent Surviving
5 Years
Based on data from SEER 18 2006-2012. Gray figures represent those who have died from endometrial cancer. Green figures represent those who have survived 5 years or more.
Additional Information
Survival by Stage
Cancer stage at diagnosis, which refers to extent of a cancer in the body, determines treatment options and has a strong influence on the length of survival. In general, if the cancer is found only in the part of the body where it started it is localized (sometimes referred to as stage 1). If it has spread to a different part of the body, the stage is regional or distant. The earlier endometrial cancer is caught, the better chance a person has of surviving five years after being diagnosed. For endometrial cancer, 67.2% are diagnosed at the local stage. The 5-year survival for localized endometrial cancer is 95.4%.
- Localized (67%)
Confined to Primary Site
- Regional (21%)
Spread to Regional Lymph Nodes
- Distant (8%)
Cancer Has Metastasized

More About This CancerShow More
Cancer and the Endometrium
Endometrial cancer is a disease in which malignant (cancer) cells form in the tissues of the endometrium.
The endometrium is the lining of the uterus, a hollow, muscular organ in a woman's pelvis. In most non-pregnant women, the uterus is about 3 inches long. The lower, narrow end of the uterus is the cervix, which leads to the vagina.

Posted on 02/12/2013 1:22:46 PM PST by LadyEleanor
click here to read article
Suspect held two females hostages, and suspect his held up in cabin now, shots are being fired now...
Cabin totally surrounded, lots of rounds being fired....
I've got to go up to the Lincoln Parish (county) courthouse for a police jury (aka county commission in Louisiana). The local sheriff is headquartered there.
If I don't come back alive, goodbye, fellow FReepers. It's been a good run.
Tell Jim Rob he can have my Dodge PU, assuming it ain't shot full of holes.
If he's in "big Bear" we may have to wait for the Bear to evacuate.
Please, what is your source? I am on Fox and not getting anything near what you are getting.
Lots of gunfire, local KCAL 9 news reporting Dorner is cornered.. Fish and Game officer wounded.
Wonder if the reporter is a lefty considering leftues have been rooting for the guy due to his manifesto.
Could also be CHIP's
Thank you.
They don't have thumbs. How would they grip the weapons?
That is how the Symbionese Liberation Army's 15 minutes of fame ended too.
I have to fill in for my boss tonight.
I'll be able to read along, but I won't be able to post.
I hope they get the bastard.
Well there goes the SOTU ratings!
Obambi will be angry that he's being upstaged.
If you are not in LA for local news pop over to CNN, I know but they are covering it live.
Several reports seem to supporting on going gun battle occurring now involving suspect, who they are now saying is on foot.....
Reporters going hysterical...lol
CNN-— two officers shot at Big Bear
Well, I'm glad you saw it, it's now removed.
Glued on with slime, I'm thinking. Otherwise I can't make heads or tails of it.
"exchanged fire with Fish and Game" Did they specify what fish and what game were armed and exchanging fire with him?
Trout? Elk?
Listening to the K6BB repeater on Echolink. Lotta scattered info coming in - shooter still not IDed
"Did the fish and game fire back?"
Yes according to CBS LA
don't deliver any newspapers.
Live Local
Stand off
two deputies confirmed wounded
No one now seems to know if he's actually gotten away or if he's still holed up in the cabin.
If he got away, damn, law enforcement is going to have a dozen eggs on their face.
Is anyone going to watch that train wreck? Hazard pay should be required for all talkers who have to watch it. Like Rush said, it's the Misstatement of the Union.
"FOX showing their usual speed about getting to the breaking news stories. LOL"
Finally off Natally Holloway?
Dunno, but I hear they're armed to the teeth.
At any moment I expected Deforrest Kelly to tell me that it's Nancy. Then I remembered... "He's dead"
Watch here:
That's gonna leave a mark.
Thanks for that video link.. sounds like a war zone lot of gunfire and shouting
they're furriners.
Cinque lives!
Their hopes of a race war didn't go too far, they were too lazy to join him
I don't know, but once a moose bit the sister of a FReeper!! So they can be dangerous without being armed, apparently. Do they have moose in Big Bear?
Local CBS reporter - Carter something was right there, got the audio, you could hear an officer yelling "Get the F out"
'_______SOTU address_________bag of hot air.'
Best posts of the day - - -
Agree - too bad this is not happening a few hours
from now - -
Prayers for those in the immediate area of this drama.
Just about 2-plus hours from here.
Prolly badger. They fiesty critters!
(that's a spee shee, btw - prolly badger)
my thoughts exactly...lol
Yeah well when they yell to Dorner that Obama wants him to sit with the first lady tonight as her guest for his great stand on gun control, hes going to say
"Nutin doin copper. Sittin wit your Mrs would be torcha. Come and get me. Anythin but that !!!"
There will be some copycats to be sure.
I think 0bama & Co. are setting their hopes on fomenting riots,
then swooping in with their police state apparatus on people defending themselves from the rioters.
They will, I am certain of it. They will maintain a perimeter, SWAT will get there, plan and then take him out.

The Universal Soldier
John Walker's Passing Bells
22 Jan - 30 April 2000
John Walker 'Passing Bells' Page 13 1998
etching, aquatint
Gift of Orde Poynton Esq. AO CMG 1999 Collection of the National Gallery of Australia
The title of John Walker's portfolio of 27 etchings, Passing Bells, is taken from the opening line of Wilfred Owen's Anthem for Doomed Youth (1917), one of the Owen poems later used in the libretto of Benjamin Britten's War Requiem:
What passing-bells for these who die as cattle?
- Only the monstrous anger of the guns.
Only the stuttering rifles' rapid rattle
Can patter out their hasty orisons.
A passing bell was rung when someone was dying, to frighten away evil spirits, and to call Christians to pray (orisons are prayers) for the departing soul's safe passage into paradise; or after death it was rung once for each year of life. Either way it was an amenity denied soldiers herded to their deaths in the trenches of World War I.
John Walker's father fought in the 1916 battle of the Somme (in which 11 other men from his family died) and at Passchendaele the following year. Wounded and repatriated to Birmingham, the young soldier could not reconcile the tranquillity of his home with the horrors across the Channel:
When [my father] was wounded at Somme he was brought home and placed in a chair outside the front door, dressed in uniform by his mother because he couldn't lift his arm … The women in the neighbourhood who had lost husbands or sons … queued up to ask this 19-year-old what had really happened to them … it was a horrendous thing to have to do.
Walker was struck by his father's matter-of-factness; he did not tell stories, but if Walker asked him very direct questions, he might come up with answers:
'Did you have any really good friends?' He said, 'Yes. John Walker.' 'The same name as you?' And he said, 'Yes, we grew up together, and we went to school together and then we went in the army [together].' And I asked him what happened to John Walker. He said, 'His head fell into my lap.'
John Walker 'Passing Bells' Page 25 1998
etching, aquatint
Gift of Orde Poynton Esq. AO CMG 1999
Collection of the National Gallery of Australia
In Walker's etchings there may be echoes of Goya's The Disasters of War and of the work of German Expressionists such as George Grosz and Otto Dix, although Walker's work tends not to directly evoke anger at the folly of war, as do Grosz's prints, or a sense of ghoulishness, as do Dix's, but suggests an empathy with his father's ordeals.
Walker felt his father to be representative of the prime participant in every conflict - the universal soldier who, even when victor, is also a victim. In her 1964 song The Universal Soldier, Buffy Sainte-Marie went further and argued that soldiers are the agents of their own suffering:
He's the one who gives his body as a weapon of the war,
And without him all this killing can't go on.
The image of a sheep's skull in many of these etchings implies a reduction of mental capacities - Walker's soldier/father figures are not only physically maimed, but mentally and emotionally shells of their former selves. His father's first-hand recollections led the artist to produce an elegy for all those who had died as sheep. There were apparently so many skulls of all kinds on the battlefields that the soldiers played soccer with them:
I said to [my father], 'What did you do when you came out of the trenches?' 'What do you mean?' he'd say. 'For recreation.' 'Well, we used to play a lot of soccer.' 'Did you have soccer balls? What did you use?' 'We'd go and pick up a skull.'
Walker has heard of soldiers at Verdun who bleated like sheep on the way to the front, 'lest their officers think the soldiers were unaware of their fate'; and he has also recalled a comparison of officers to 'Judas sheep', kept to entice other sheep into the abattoir. Soldiers were likened to sheep by another World War I poet, David Jones, in his In Parenthesis, which was also used by Walker as a primary inspiration for this series. For example:
John Walker Passing Bells Page 8 1998 etching, aquatint Gift of Orde Poynton Esq. AO CMG 1999 Collection of the National Gallery of Australia
They bunch, a bewildered half dozen, like sheep where the wall
is tumbled - but high-perched Brandenburghers / from their leafy
vantage-tops observe / that kind of folly …
When Walker puts a figure with a sheep's skull against a background of crosses, he is almost certainly associating the sacrifice of soldiers with the sacrifice of Christ the Lamb of God.
The sheep idea connects, too, with another of Wilfred Owen's war poems, The Parable of the Young Man and the Old. Taking the biblical story of the Hebrew patriarch Abraham's sacrifice - where, through divine intervention, Abraham slays a sheep instead of his son - Owen reverses the account:
But the old man would not so, but slew his son,
And half the seed of Europe, one by one.
The sheep-skull also resembles a gas mask, as does the bandage-bound head in other images.
The newly-mechanised warfare of World War I heightened the vulnerability of the human body and the irrelevance of human capacities for action. The almost ghost-like soldier/father figures in Walker's etchings are not doing anything heroic. They are hardly doing anything at all. Rather, they are passive, while things are being done to them. They are portrayed as helpless, as victims, knocked about by forces beyond their control.
The army is always held up as the epitome of order, but these etchings show soldiers with no sense of order at all. They are outside the ordinary coordinates of space and time in some grotesquely disordered universe. It is very hard to believe that the artist was not there, that this is not trench art, in the way that Owen's poetry was trench poetry.
This is John Walker's major work to date in printmaking - a field in which he has been working for over 20 years. It has been said of earlier etchings by Walker that it seemed that the plates themselves had been 'wounded'; in Passing Bells he has continued to exploit etching's potential for visual equivalents to the personal damage caused by war:
This is evident in the rawness of the drawn lines, which at times are like exposed nerves, and in the way the corrosive action of the acid on the plate is made to eat away at our sensibilities just as they did the metal 1

Viewing the prints is like reading a letter or a book, their small scale drawing us into close physical and emotional relations with them. With a growing intimacy we may be led to revise our initial impression of ugliness and horror, uncovering an amazing tenderness.
After making his name as an abstract painter in the 1960s, Walker introduced figurative elements into his works, many of which in the late 1970s and early 1980s had art-historical references. In the mid-1980s he increased the emotional weight of his work until, in the last few years, he has been tackling literary and historical subjects of the greatest pathos.
When he left art school he sometimes depicted tormented soldiers in his paintings and drawings, nearly all of which he later burned. What prompted his return to those figures in 1996 was his re-reading of the poetry of David Jones and Wilfred Owen:
When [I] read sentences from their poems, occasionally it sounded just like my father talking. The poetry makes me feel - because of the shared experience - very close to my father.
Walker's custom in printmaking is to explore and condense themes first announced in his paintings, but in this suite all the Walker trademarks and stock images have been eliminated in favour of the new devices of the sheep-skull and the bandaged cripple. The one exception appears in the final plate: it is Walker's familiar image of himself at his easel, but this time his head is a sheep's skull too, a sign of loving identification with his father.

Discussion in 'Racquets' started by POGO, Jun 2, 2005.
The (hell) hospital from Silent Hill 1 still haunts me...
This thread has been marked DERAILED
*cough* my gaming area is a lot better than all of yours *cough* And don't comment on the state of the room, I'm in the process of cleaning it.
And in an attempt to right the thread, here's my newly acquired Speed prototype PJ.
Game is an absolute classic. Head to the top floor (3rd) in the elevator and doors are locked, get back in the elevator and the 4th floor appears as a button. Enter the hell hospital. Not sure whether I prefer the first or 2nd game though. Both of them are highly enjoyable.
On the subject on tennis gear, I received the anniversary Prestige and bag from Santa! Will post my own picture when I get around to it
Rock Strongo... I seem to remember you saying you were going to clean earlier...
Ok... That string collection is pretty awesome as far as variety.
Agreed! Good selection there
I have to say, I have not played any of those other games you mentioned
I haven't played any of the games that anybody has mentioned.... I'm 14 and don't have any consoles...
When I'm not on the courts I'm either here, or in the gym.
I thought my gaming area was gonna come out on top but I defer to you.
That's the first image of the new Speed that has piqued my interest. Not sure about the shared holes though especially now that all the manufacturers are touting less friction in the grommets. Or is it a shared grommet with two openings like some of the Prince Triple Threat racquets?
Single grommets all the way through!
Thanks, im still in process of picking 1 string, so i bought loads 2yrs ago, still got majority to go through
You're missing out.
4 x pt57a (2 MG Radical, 1 MG Prestige, 1 IG Prestige)
TGK231.3 personal Marin Cilic frame (IG Instinct Paint)
Nice... Do you happen to have the specs of the Cilic frame?
Here are some of my Donnays:
Pro Ceramic

Pro International OS
Tour Excellence 85
Pair of basketball shoes somehow found their way in there. Sorry guys. [/IMG]
Oops wrong thread. Too many tabs open.
weight unstrung 334grams
balance 31.2cm
grip size L4 (molded pallet)
grip is Gamma Hi-Tec
Failed Babolat experiment on the left and my kid's racquet on the right. On a side note while I prefer leather, that Tourna Replacement grip is the best synthetic grip I've ever felt.
An old soldier and his compatriot.
where did you get this. awesome!
what???? i wasnt making fun of anyone. that was someone else
very nice! thanks for sharing.
where did you get the cilic frame?
That prince looks surprisingly flat beemed..
I might be wrong though.
This is 98% of my all my tennis gear
Missing 4 cans of balls some shorts, tee and set of polystar classic and spp
Bags are top right but pic is rather dark
You sir, have one MASSIVE Rafa collection. That's quite a few original APD I see there.
I have 11 apds, however I am looking to keep about 4-6 and match them up.
2 of them are literally brand new.
THe clothing under the trainers are RF Wimby 2011 shorts x2 and tee x2, Nadal wimby 2011, Nadal AO 2009 day x3, ao09 shorts x1 nadal 2009 fo pink tee x2 verdasco orange adidas tee, grey nike shorts I think they are masters from last year nadal ones, and nadal fo09 shorts
Im waiting for the nadturd or whatever quotes, come on enlighten me
it looks like all babolat and wilson?
Here's some of my sticks - I am a sucker for mids.
And my stringing and customization corner :twisted:
you got the 25yr prestige!
very nice collection. super clean. can you zoom out a little bit? want to see how you are holding those rackets
And now I want to know what kind of string you have... Because you have a fair amount of string.
And tell me about that color trophy with an old guy on it... lol
the 6 reels look to be the same too
They are not.
These reels have Solinco Tour Bite, an inexpensive co-poly from France, Polyfibre Black Venom Rough, Pro Supex Titan for synthetic gut jobs (mainly hybrids), some Lux Adrenaline and Yonex Poly Tour Pro.
The packages in the square box have half-sets of FXPs for hybrids, Gamma Livewire and Pro Supex Maxim Touch, Kirschbaum Pro Line X, Signum Pro Hyperion, Pacific X-Force and some Luxilons.
The cut out grey/orange set is meant for a hybrid stringjob for one of my KBlades - it's half set of sppp for mains and half set of lux fluoro for crosses.
(thin gauge).
That's my girlfriend's trophy
But I coached her, so I got a share of it :twisted:
From an open-level tournament in France.
very nice. good to see you have done your research instead of just going with RPM and excel or whatever the marketing guys are feeding this month. how do you like titan?
Thanks !
What do you mean how I am holding the rackets?
it looks like you are just leaning them against the wall? because i see part of a metal bar, and some white string? cant tell
It's decent, sometimes it feels a bit dull, but seriously no complaints for what it is meant to be doing. I remember combining it with Tour Bite on one of my Dunlop 200 Tours to get some extra pop.
I have also strung some sticks for friends and a few customers.
Ha, ha, believe it or not I deliberately framed the picture like that (it is not cropped). They are indeed leaning on the wall, I have always been searching for a nice standalone bar/case or something for the many stick s I have.
There are some MPs that I have not included there.
This Prestige is a birthday gift.
Underneath that white wilson pro overgrip there's a delicious black fairway (!).
oh i see. yea i was wondering about the bar and the white strings.
so you have more not being displayed
Good collection but missing a TGK 237.1 thr, Ive annihilated you, with all those rackets- IMPRESSIVE
do you still have these? interested in selling one?
If you are going to make an offer, specify which frame(s).
Alright last picture till I get something new. Just trying to cheer myself up at having to wait a little longer for my new Volkl PB 10 Mids. Who knew kids would cost so much money?

The Netherlands 1853 – France 1890
Eugène Boch (The poet)
[Le poète] 1888
oil on canvas
canvas 60.0 (h) x 45.0 (w) cm
Musée d'Orsay, Paris , Bequest of Eugène Boch, through the Société des Amis du Louvre 1941
© RMN (Musée d'Orsay) / Hervé Lewandowski
Although van Gogh announced that he intended to acquaint the people of Arles with art through the medium of portraiture, he struggled to find suitable models in the south. Despite this fastidiousness, he was passionately committed to portraiture. In a letter to his brother Theo on 3 September 1888, van Gogh writes:
And in a picture I want to say something comforting, as music is comforting. I want to paint men and women with that something of the eternal which the halo used to symbolise and which we seek to confer by actual radiance and vibration of our colourings … Ah! portraiture, portraiture with the thought, the soul of the model in it, that is what I think must come!1
Rather than simply reproduce physical likenesses, van Gogh wanted to explore symbolism and mystery by using colour. He thought he might achieve this through a portrait of a fellow artist. In mid June 1888 van Gogh met Eugène Boch (1855–1941), a Belgian painter (and brother of Anna Boch, a founding member of Les XX), who was staying nearby in Fontvieille. Van Gogh spent considerable time in Boch's company, fruitlessly planning future artist colonies. This painting sprang from their friendship, and van Gogh imbued it with the admiration he held for his Belgian colleague.
Initially van Gogh recreated Boch's likeness as accurately as possible, before beginning to exaggerate the colours and tones. He also added supplementary elements: a thin halo encircles Boch's head with gold, and the background becomes an infinite starry night.
Behind the head, instead of painting the ordinary wall of the mean room, I paint infinity, a plain background of the richest blue that I can contrive, and by this simple combination the bright head against the rich blue background gets a mysterious effect, like a star in the sky, in the depths of an azure sky.2
This work, which van Gogh originally titled The poet, was paired with an opposing portrait of Lieutenant Paul-Eugène Milliet, which he named The lover 1888.3 The poet was designed to represent 'contemplation', while The lover would evoke a sense of 'activity'. Hung side by side in his bedroom at Arles, these works comprised part of a larger series, Décoration, which van Gogh created for his home. The two complementary works are visible on the wall in one of the versions of Van Gogh's bedroom at Arles 1888.4 Van Gogh accentuated his application of colour theory by contrasting opposite colours not only within each individual work, but also between the pair of portraits when hung together.

They're heeeere! Vegantine's Day Strawberry Love Bugs!
Brace yourself for the post with the most pictures eva'! It will hog up all your bandwidth! It will break the interwebs! The planet will implode! Took it too far?
The Strawberry Love Bugs are back! Remember the ones I made in 2009? These are pretty much the same, except that I printed out their little signs instead of making them by hand.
Which one are you teaming up with for Vegantine's Day? I *heart* You or Love Stinks? If you've been reading my blog for a while, then you probably know that I always like to throw in a Mr. Grumpy Pants along with the happy faces, you know, for balance. Wanna make some? First you're going to need to wash and pat dry about a pound of strawberries...
Then you're going to need about two ounces of melted semi-sweet chocolate chips. I melt mine in the microwave at half power, stirring every 45 seconds. If you're a proper double-boiler person, then go for it. Dip the tips of the strawberries in the melted chocolate...
I use bamboo picks to dip them, but you can use regular toothpicks too. Place the strawberries upside down inside a small ramekin or other fairly shallow container...
Refrigerate the strawberries while you make the antennae. The antennae are totally optional, and I'm not going to lie to you, they can be a pain in the gluteus maximus. If you want to make them, check if your melted chocolate needs a few more seconds in the microwave to soften it up. Mine did. Then transfer it to a small ziploc and cut a small tip off one of the corners. You can print out my antennae pattern if you would like to use it, then tape it to a chopping board and tape a piece of wax paper on top of the pattern paper. When you're ready, use your chocolate-loaded ziploc bag to trace the little swirly antennae. If you have no idea how to do that, check out my chocolate spider-legs video that might paint a clearer picture.
Place the chopping board in the freezer and let's make some buggy dots! Use the same ziploc to drop little dots all over the tops of the strawberries, except for the heads, of course.
This next step is also optional, but I like to flatten the chocolate dots with a hot (dry!) knife.
Totally optional, and maybe even unnecessary. But I like them better flat...
Now it's time to draw some eyes and mouth on'em. I used melted vegan white chocolate chips, but you can also make them with a very stiff powdered sugar and water icing. Use another ziploc to pipe the melted chocolate/sugar icing and draw their little faces. Mr. Grumpy Pants needs a pair of grumpy eyebrows.
Now pipe a little drop of the semi-sweet chocolate in the center (or not!) of each eye. Or you can dip a toothpick into the melted chocolate and then "poke" the center of each eye. Also, this would be a good time to attach the antennae. Use a generous drop of melted chocolate as glue, on top of their heads, and then quickly attach the antennae. If your hands are too hot and the antennae melt in your hands, you can always use some kitchen-only tweezers to grab them.
Now they need their signs! You can make your own or you can print mine out if you want. I *heart* You signs are here, and Love Stinks signs are here. Your choice! Just cut out the signs and tape a toothpick to the back of each sign.
Insert the signs to the top/back of each Love Bug and you're done!
At this point I realized that the leaves were looking a little dry and ugleh, so I trimmed them...
Did you guys catch my Gluten-Free Almond Butter Blondies at Go Dairy Free? Alisa is the coolest and she invited me to do another guest post! These are a gluten-free version of my wheat-based almond butter blondies. These wheatless goodies are fudgy, rich, almondy, and they have a yummy crusty top, which is absolutely necessary in a blondie. Amirite or amirite? Thank you, Alisa! :)

For every coach that inherits a broken program, there is always a moment — sometimes obvious, but often hard to pinpoint — when the lingering problems can no longer be blamed on the former regime and fall instead on those currently in charge.
Then the clock starts ticking.
VANDY CRUISES: Another big loss for the Gators
For Florida's Will Muschamp, it's quite possible that pivot point arrived well before Saturday, which marked the 35th game of his tenure. But just for good measure, the Gators' 34-17 loss to Vanderbilt ensured that Urban Meyer is now off the hook for the mess he left behind in 2010.
AUBURN STREAKING: Tigers manhandle Tennessee
Florida, which was neck-and-neck with Southern California and Oklahoma as college football's best program for the first part of this century, is languishing at 4-5 and very much in danger of its first losing season since 1979. Unless the Gators can beat soon-to-be No. 2 Florida State or No. 15 South Carolina — and neither seems very likely right now — they'll be home for the holidays, something that didn't happen even during the program's three-year misadventure under Ron Zook.
And with Florida State rolling toward the national championship game and Miami on the improve, now winning the kind of in-state recruiting battles that used to go to the Gators by default, there does not seem to be a cavalry of blue-chippers on the way to turn things around next year.
"I'm a competitor, I don't like losing and I certainly don't like the product we're putting on the field," Muschamp told reporters Saturday. "That's my responsibility. That's on me. I'm not asking for anybody to be happy or to give me a pass. It's the University of Florida, and my expectation is as high or higher than anyone sitting in those seats. It's on me, and we'll get it turned, I can assure you that."
Though it is often obvious whether a coach should be fired or not, even after just three seasons, the situation at Florida will be an interesting test case for just how much patience programs will have in the Southeastern Conference, where everybody is pouring big money into coaches and facilities to chase precious victories.
The problem in a league like that — especially when it added programs like Texas A&M and Missouri — is that somebody has to lose, and right now the Gators are no more of a threat to rise back up the ranks as anyone else. Though Florida is still a cream-of-the-crop program, college football in 2013 is far more about the head coach than tradition or brand name.
That's the problem facing Muschamp and why it will be so interesting to see how Florida athletics director Jeremy Foley proceeds, especially given that he fired Zook midway through his third season.
"I put more pressure on myself than anyone else can," Muschamp said. "We're going to find a way. We've got to keep going at it. What we're doing so far isn't working. Everybody wants to put their finger on one thing and say, 'Eureka!" but that isn't the way it works. There's multiple things we have to get corrected."
There are mitigating factors, of course. Nobody would dispute that Florida was in rough shape when Muschamp arrived, leaving his post as Texas' defensive coordinator and head coach-in-waiting. Florida wasn't stocked with enough Florida-caliber talent, and the culture of the program was mired in discipline problems left over from Meyer's lenient approach.
Florida also has suffered more than its share of injuries this season, with starting quarterback Jeff Driskel, receiver/kick returner Andre Debose, running back Matt Jones and defensive tackle Dominique Easley among the players who were lost for the season early.
It also seems absurd that Florida would fire a football coach who went 11-1 in the regular season last year, coming within a game of playing for the national title.
But when that season is sandwiched between 7-6 and 5-7 (this year's likely record), it raises concerns for Florida's fan base, which showed its displeasure Saturday by leaving thousands of empty seats at homecoming.
Not only is Muschamp responsible for the record, which includes three consecutive losses to rival Georgia, but his staff has struggled to put a competent offense on the field and doesn't seem to have recruited the kinds of skilled, fast offensive players that should be easy for the Gators to get.
Those are legitimate complaints and justifiable reasons for Foley to make a change, if he were so inclined to spend the $6 million it would take to be rid of Muschamp.
If not, however, the pressure will be significant for Florida to show progress in 2014, which again won't be easy without significant offensive changes and better personnel to run, throw and catch. If Foley thinks that's possible, Muschamp will get a fourth season. If not, better to go ahead and make the change now because after Saturday, there's no more blaming Urban Meyer for the state of Florida football.

Skip to comments.Im a girl, and I hunt
Posted on 03/10/2012 6:21:14 PM PST by Navy Patriot
In Roman mythology, the master of the hunt was the goddess Diana. She was praised for her strength, athletic grace, beauty, and hunting skills.
In Freemasonry, she was a symbol of sensibility and imagination, of poets and artists. Shrines were erected in her honor; stags followed her wherever she went; she ruled the forest and the moon.
I like to think that Dianas influence has never entirely waned, that hunting was never just about men getting together in the woods. Hunting is for all of us, an extension of our being both humans and animalsour first work and craft, one of our original instincts.
Today I am entirely different than the girl and chef who set out four years ago to learn how to hunt a turkey. There are the obvious differences, such as the fact that I can shoot a deer through the heart without batting an eye, and then promptly take out the innards on the forest floor with only a pocketknife and my bare hands.

Too bad I am married. A chick that like guns and hunting....
My kind of fun.
Hey Lady...thought I would ping you on this one. For a change its not a food thread!
And she can cook!
I'm 70...My first hunt was 52 years ago. Gutted my first deer that year, too.
"But if you want to feel what it is like to be human again, you should hunt, even if just once."
Nice quote. And I agree, having had a fishing license at one point (I need to renew it).
Ping to Western Culture: There was a few years ago a news article here about a Norwegian TV show that combined hunting and cooking, would you happen to have heard of it by any chance? Thanks.
Ya got me beat.
Conservative women are so hot!
They just have a natural glow about them.
Liberal womyn have "nasty" flowing from every pore.
Can we hire her to gut and field dress DC? hee hee hee
I would very much enjoy spending a week in the woods with this lady. She is beautiful!
Yep, and looks very healthy. I'll bet she is also well read and balanced.
I would just leave the varmints to rot in the sun.
I did not think about individuals, but about whole agencies/departments.
You must understand I did not mean it literally. Although I truly understand your sentiments.
Who are you talking to???
You're already on their list....
In Roman mythology, the master of the hunt was the goddess Diana. She was praised for her strength, athletic grace, beauty, and hunting skills.
In Freemasonry, she was a symbol of sensibility and imagination, of poets and artists. Shrines were erected in her honor; stags followed her wherever she went; she ruled the forest and the moon.
I like to think that Dianas influence has never entirely waned, that hunting was never just about men getting together in the woods. Hunting is for all of us, an extension of our being both humans and animalsour first work and craft, one of our original instincts.
Well, we need a little more history on just who DIANA was...
Acts 19:23 And the same time there arose no small stir about that way.
Acts 19:24 For a certain [man] named Demetrius, a silversmith, which made silver shrines for Diana, brought no small gain unto the craftsmen;
Acts 19:25 Whom he called together with the workmen of like occupation, and said, Sirs, ye know that by this craft we have our wealth.
Acts 19:26 Moreover ye see and hear, that not alone at Ephesus, but almost throughout all Asia, this Paul hath persuaded and turned away much people, saying that they be no gods, which are made with hands:
Acts 19:27 So that not only this our craft is in danger to be set at nought; but also that the temple of the great goddess Diana should be despised, and her magnificence should be destroyed, whom all Asia and the world worshippeth.
Acts 19:28 And when they heard [these sayings], they were full of wrath, and cried out, saying, Great [is] Diana of the Ephesians.
Acts 19:29 And the whole city was filled with confusion: and having caught Gaius and Aristarchus, men of Macedonia, Paul's companions in travel, they rushed with one accord into the theatre.
Acts 19:30 And when Paul would have entered in unto the people, the disciples suffered him not.
Acts 19:31 And certain of the chief of Asia, which were his friends, sent unto him, desiring [him] that he would not adventure himself into the theatre.
Acts 19:32 Some therefore cried one thing, and some another: for the assembly was confused; and the more part knew not wherefore they were come together.
Acts 19:33 And they drew Alexander out of the multitude, the Jews putting him forward. And Alexander beckoned with the hand, and would have made his defence unto the people.
Acts 19:34 But when they knew that he was a Jew, all with one voice about the space of two hours cried out, Great [is] Diana of the Ephesians.
Acts 19:35 And when the townclerk had appeased the people, he said, [Ye] men of Ephesus, what man is there that knoweth not how that the city of the Ephesians is a worshipper of the great goddess Diana, and of the [image] which fell down from Jupiter?
Acts 19:36 Seeing then that these things cannot be spoken against, ye ought to be quiet, and to do nothing rashly.
Acts 19:37 For ye have brought hither these men, which are neither robbers of churches, nor yet blasphemers of your goddess.
Acts 19:38 Wherefore if Demetrius, and the craftsmen which are with him, have a matter against any man, the law is open, and there are deputies: let them implead one another.
Acts 19:39 But if ye enquire any thing concerning other matters, it shall be determined in a lawful assembly.
Acts 19:40 For we are in danger to be called in question for this day's uproar, there being no cause whereby we may give an account of this concourse.
Acts 19:41 And when he had thus spoken, he dismissed the assembly.
Been on the list longer than you can imagine.
Father-in-law was in the weapons business 40 years. He assured me they knew about me.

Turns out it is a food thread!
yeah, buzzards and crows go to eat too........
I'm not so sure about that....See photo in post 21!
Oh, and 24!
I'm a chick and I hunt. I built my own ghillie suit. I have a dad who's a former Marine pilot, two brothers that served in Iraq, one a chopper pilot the other a weapons officer. I have an uncle who served in Vietnam as a chopper pilot. All have taught me firearms and field craft. I can sneak up to within ten feet of a deer without it knowing I'm there (yes, there's a trick to it) - my favorite rifle is a Savage in 22-250 and it's locked in at 500yrds. I'm part of a club that shoots prairie dogs out to 600yds. My second firearm is an M1 carbine. I'm also a pilot. I fly jets.
If you want to claim you're an animal then consider this...all bitches (female animals in the nominal sense) go into heat (estrus).
When was the last time you went into heat, bitch?
I thought you would like this article.
I would be willing to bet that if someone really looks into her they'll find she is into Gaia worship or some such other nonsense.
@Georgia Pellegrini mother nature
I just haven't found the right keywords yet.
What kind of Christian calls themselves an animal?
All the better for all of us. Outdoorsmanship is as much for the gals as for the guys.
I wish I could match your stalking skills, but my favorite rifle is also 22-250, a heavy barrel hand built, by me, on a WWII 8x57 Mauser action. Beyond sweet.
Makes good reason to win wars, ya can take their guns.
The subject is girls and hunting.
Lighten up.
Are they plants or minerals instead?
It was a reasonable question in response to your rather stupid statement.
BTW did you sleep through all your science classes in school or just biology?
First of all, no, I never slept through church or Sunday school but must have still missed the biology lesson that said humans were plants or minerals rather than what we are biologically speaking animals.
But I get and think and perhaps I understand what you were trying to say that we are Gods special creation, created in Gods image, etc. I get that. But then you totally lost me when you called her a bitch.
If you want to claim you're an animal then consider this...all bitches (female animals in the nominal sense) go into heat (estrus).
When was the last time you went into heat, bitch?
I have news for you, human women do have a cycle and part of that cycle does include a heighted sense of sexual desire during ovulation, her most fertile time. While not exactly a heat as in seen in some other female animals, it is a natural cycle none the less and absent it, the human species would not have procreated as successfully as we did. And we do have like other animals, basic instincts. What makes humans different from the lower animals is not that we are not animals but we have a much higher reasoning God given or evolution or a combination of both, it still is what it is but we are still animals biologically speaking, admittedly, some more animalistic than others. :)
Then you go further to assume she must be a heathen Gaia worshiper and stand by that absent any proof to the contrary as in:
I would be willing to bet that if someone really looks into her they'll find she is into Gaia worship or some such other nonsense. I just haven't found the right keywords yet.
You admit you have no proof that shes a Gaia worshiper but then have no problem stating that she must be one because you think she is. Sort of like But she looks like a witch. And she turned me into a newt. But I got better. Burn her! Burn her anyway.
Perhaps you slept through church when they were talking about baring false witness and judging lest you be judged?
While I supposed its possible for a Gaia worshipper to also be into fishing and hunting (with guns no less) and proudly posts on her blog items like How to Cook a Deer Heart and How to Butcher a Pig (well at least we know shes not a Muslim : )) but given that, shed be about as outcast at the local Gaia worshiper meeting as Ted Nugent. And I say that any woman who posts Homemade Bacon - It's the stuff of legends. It will make vegetarians swoon is A-OK in my book.
Yea, she used the dreaded phrase Mother Nature. But then a lot of people use that phrase in casual conversation, not all of them Gaia worshippers and many of them good Christians not so much unlike yourself (well perhaps not you). Remember the commercial Its not nice to fool Mother Nature? Surly everyone who enjoyed that commercial or ever used Chiffon Margarine must be Gaia worshippers too according to you. /sarcasm.
Navy Patriot posted a very nice thread about a gal who enjoys hunting and encourages other women to take up the sport, who is also great cook and author who proudly celebrates the great American Pioneer Spirit of self sufficiency and living off the land and also celebrates the traditions of her parents and grandparents and you come here and stink up the thread with your interpretations of Biblical literalisms.
In answer to the second part of your question, no I dont go to church anymore, in part because of people like you. And BTW athiest is spelled atheist.
I'm judging her by the statements she's made. You can rationalize your "we're basically animals" but you won't dent my armor.
Humans may be mammals, but humans aren't animals in any way, shape or form and there is nothing that you can say that will convince me otherwise.
...human women do have a cycle...
Yeah, it's called a menstrual cycle and it isn't estrus. In fact, it's a far cry from it, isn't it.
Having hands, fingers and toes doesn't make a monkey a human.
Blah, blah, blah...yada, yada...
Whatever. Reply as you will. It's obvious what you're about. I won't be replying back.
No. You are judging her by the statements you think she made by inference of what she didnt say. Big difference.
First off, it's bearing, not baring. (I can play that game too) Baring is "showing your backside".
And you think that wasnt intentional on my part?
Whatever. Reply as you will. It's obvious what you're about.
There you go again, baring witness and judgment and only going to prove what an ass you really are.
I won't be replying back.
Sigh. Im crushed. : ),

By NEMS Daily Journal
The unemployment rate for Northeast Mississippi in April was 8.5 percent, marking the second consecutive month the rate fell below 10 percent.
The Mississippi Department of Employment Security released its county-level rates on Wednesday. Last week, MDES reported the state's overall jobless rate in April was 9.1 percent, down from 9.4 percent in March.
MDES revised its county figures for March as well on Wednesday. Preliminary results released last month showed Northeast Mississippi's jobless rate was 9 percent in March, but Wednesday's figures showed the rate was actually 8.5 percent.
April's decline in the state unemployment rate was caused primarily by fewer people looking for work. That was the case in Northeast Mississippi as well, with about 1,000 fewer people looking for jobs in April compared to March.
MDES figures estimates the region's labor force – the number of people with jobs or actively seeking jobs – was 221,440 in April, compared to 220,490 a month earlier. The number of employed in April was 202,640, versus 201,700 in March.
Twelve of the region's 16 counties posted jobless rates below 10 percent, with 11 of them at or below the state's 9.1 percent unemployment.
Lafayette County, at 6 percent, recorded the lowest rate in the region, and it was fourth-lowest in the state. Clay County's 17 percent jobless rate was the highest in the region and the second-highest in the state.
Also, MDES reported the number of initial unemployment insurance claims rose to 11,478 in April, compared to 9,488 in March.
Continuing claims in April totaled 91,792, more than 11,000 fewer than a month earlier.

Category: INDUSTRY
BMW has struck a deal with Bang & Olufsen to include their high end speaker system in their cars.
Driving can be fun in any car as long as the sun is shining, the windows are down and the music is grand. If doing just that in an everyday Corolla is a treat, then cruising in high end BMWs with music oozing from a 16 speaker Bang & Olufsen system is going to be downright exhilarating.
It borders too much fun.
These 16 speakers pump 1,200 watts of harmonious music; unless you have the six series convertible. Unfortunately they'll have to settle for just 12 speakers and a thousand watts—how will they go on?
The speakers have been strategically placed to have "treble, mid-range and bass tones assume their exact positions," and that necessitates an automatically retracting centre speaker equipped with an acoustic lens. It's this lens that determines 'brilliant' surround sound in all seats.
Bang and Olufsen practise polygamy in the car industry, kitting out brands Mercedes, Audi and even Aston Martin with their premium audio.

Totally apropos that specs made in America log in here with an array of eyewear heritage details that are at once unique and respectful: tortoise, a minty crystal coloration and a deft partial "brow" accent.
VINTAGE 10 from Norman Childs Eyewear
The same pride-of-face that oozes from a clubman style comes to this CatEye in an ever-so-cool blend of youthful energy.
GUESS BY MARCIANO 233 from Viva
With wood stems (truly a good reason to call temples that!) and a slim silver-to-gun P3 wire structure, this eyewear buttons up on the new direction in men's specs so well.
ROBERT GRAHAM Polk from Revolution Eyewear
The '70s attains feast status for eyewear trending that is shyless and staunch with attitude. It all feels so fearless here. We like and respect that.
G-STAR RAW Lumber from Marchon Eyewear
The "NOW MEOW" shape takes metal on a wild color prowl with enameling details, textured highlights and a mystery of curves.
EVOLUTION 4302 from Ogi Eyewear
Slate blue makes for exemplary face appeal with this upsized (yet minimalist) frame that adds dash with the split-level contrast of its double-bridge design.
DECADES Corrado from Mykita
It's official: Metal is the newly renowned mainstay for men when it comes to specs and no one commands that concert
of direction better than style's best rock star… John Varvatos. Hey. Study that bridge detailing, as hip as the (here hidden) cable temples.
JOHN VARVATOS V149 from Base Curve/A Luxury Division of Rem Eyewear
Back in the day tortoise made its face-friendly presence known with deft rim foiling. It's Havana wonderful resurge.
TED BAKER B330 from Tura
An excellent (and svelte!) exaggeration of the popular '70s soft pillow shape heralds Spy as actively engaging the empire of women's eyewear.
SIMONE from Spy Optic
The shape purrs, the hidden crystal mint stalks and the jaggered marble zyl is encrypted with a romantic touch of crimson. ONLY Lafont could succeed in making that many "cat lives" thrive on a frame.

My Friends (Amici miei)
The famed Italian film director Pietro Germi (his sharply observant and satirical films include The Immoralist, and Divorce Italian Style) began work on this comedy, but died before he could do more than write the screenplay. However, he lived long enough to choose Mario Monicelli as his successor. In the story, four friends keep their friendship alive and their Tuscan town lively by means of an endless series of practical jokes and pranks of various sorts. Perozzi (Philippe Noiret) works on the night desk of a newspaper, reporting on crime. Mascetti (Ugo Tognazzi), an aristocrat, has seen better days. They are joined in mischief by Melandri (Gastone Moschin) and Necci (Duilio DelPrete), an architect and a cafe-owner by profession respectively. When the town doctor (Adolfo Celi) manages to outwit the collective efforts of the four, he is soon invited to join their little club. The rhythms of life in a cheerful provincial town are effectively unveiled in this zany and affectionate film.~ Clarke Fountain, All Movie Guide

News about Homer, including commentary and archival articles published in The New York Times.
Highlights from the Archives
The Humbling of Odysseus
Telemachus and Odysseus, unlike the characters in the ''Iliad,'' are capable of change. By the end of the journey Odysseus has learned how to dissemble, supplicate and plead to stay alive, just as his son has learned how to stand up for himself. Odysseus, once his men have been drowned or killed, falls into a long and solitary despair. His journey is a kind of penance.July 9, 2000 artsReview
Yo, Achilles
Dispensing with strict literalness, yet always conscious of the poem's overarching theme of heroism and its bloody consequences, Stanley Lombardo manages to be respectful of Homer's dire spirit while providing on nearly every page some wonderfully fresh refashioning of his Greek. The result is a vivid and sometimes disarmingly hard-bitten reworking of a great classic.July 20, 1997 artsReview
Finding the Right Words for the Father of Poetry
When Robert Fagles translates Homer, legions of earlier translators are looking over his shoulder, along with Homer himself, a lively presence from 2,700 years ago. Then there is what he refers to as ''the translation police,'' that cadre of keepers of the Homeric flame who will allow no divergence from the original.April 15, 1997 artsBiography
Fresh Light on the Wine-Dark Sea
Homer -- as much a man of twists and turns as his hero Odysseus -- has, with the Muse's help, been translated into countless varieties of English, just as he himself may have translated oral traditions into written verse. His rhythmic Greek has been turned into heroic couplets (Alexander Pope), the cryptic rhetoric that inspired Keats (George Chapman), serviceable prose that reminded one critic of Agatha Christie (E. V. Rieu), and even popular song.January 5, 1997 booksNews
Bringing Him Back Alive
Homer remains, translations come and go. Only the very best, like Pope's, survive their own age as literature in their own right.October 7, 1990 artsReview
In Greek Warrior's Grave, Rings of Power (and a Mirror and Combs)
