Other: Sperm Washing with Intrauterine Insemination (IUI)
This study aims to assess the feasibility of a novel standard of care technique for intrauterine insemination (IUI) in HIV-discordant couples in the United States. This study will involve couples in which the male partner is HIV positive, but the female partner is negative.
The investigators will institute a protocol similar to those used presently throughout Europe with good success. To date, no HIV seroconversions have occurred in over 4000 inseminations performed in HIV serodiscordant couples.
All male subjects will be on stable HAART and have undetectable serum viral loads prior to insemination. For semen samples, seminal fluid will be separated from sperm using a density gradient/swim-up separation technique. The purified sperm sample will be washed, and screened for HIV RNA using sensitive real-time RT-PCR. Samples with detectable traces of HIV RNA will not be used for insemination. Samples with no detectable traces of HIV RNA will be used for a standard intrauterine insemination of the female partner.
Female subjects will be followed post-insemination for seroconversion and pregnancy. Infants will be followed for seroconversion at birth through 3 months of age.
The data being collected in this pilot feasibility study will be mostly descriptive, lacking sample size to achieve statistical power for testing. However, the investigators will use case-control analysis to compare couples who achieve pregnancy with those who do not across demographics and markers of HIV disease progression. Additionally, the investigators have developed a 14 item, 5-point Likert scale to assesses the psychosocial impact of reproductive health issues stemming from HIV-discordance in both the female and male participants.
The expected duration for any unique subject couple is 3 to 12 months, depending on pregnancy. It is expected that the interventional portion of this study will continue for up to 2 years, depending on pregnancies.

I wanted to like Vegas but stopped watching after lover boy ( Jason O'Mara ) killed a mobster in self defence but covered it up because, of all things in this world, he didn't want to loose his oochie coochie girl. If you are making a two dimensional tv show about good guys v bad guys then this was just a rrreally dumb way to go so soon after the show began. But I am bummed about Southland.
Not surprised about CSI:NY...it has been living on borrowed time for a year or two. I used to watch it regularly...started to lose interest when Melina Kanakaredes left. Then FOX moved FRINGE to Friday night, and I had to make a choice...FRINGE won.
NBC just renewed Community! I love that show, so yay for me! Apparently, according to Variety, they renewed it because they knew that if they did not, they knew the show had a strong enough cult following that it would be shopped and either another network would pick it up, or - more likely - it would go digital to Hulu, Netflix, or Amazon. Variety cited as examples shows with similar cult followings that were cancelled on a network and then bought by another venue, such as Futurama and Arrested Development.
Yeah, we were holding our breath! But popular shows have been cancelled before: Dr. Quinn, Murder She Wrote, Without A Trace.... EDIT: BTW, speaking of shows with gay parents, NBC cancelled The New Normal.
Here are some interesting reads... "How do television ratings work? How do they figure out how many people are watching a show?." http://electronics.howstuffworks.com/question433.htm> Who puts together a television network schedule? http://electronics.howstuffworks.com/networks-television-schedule.htm Snarky, true overview of what an actor faces in trying to to get cast in a pilot TV show. http://kenlevine.blogspot.com/2010/02/guys-are-not-going-to-want-to-fk-her.html
Criminal Minds has been renewed. http://insidetv.ew.com/2013/05/09/criminal-minds-renewed-for-ninth-season/
"Touch" wasn't renewed. However, I found this interesting: http://insidetv.ew.com/2013/05/10/24-return-episodes/
Looks like you're having the same computer glitch issue I was having last night...can't get a connection & then get multiple posts. And this morning page 3 wasn't even showing up on the menu, but it was viewable on the printable version of the thread...WEIRD!
ABC has decided to pick up the following shows: MARVEL'S AGENTS OF SHIELD This one is from Joss Whedon. Clark Gregg reprises his role of Agent Phil Coulson from Marvel's feature films. He brings together a small group of agents to investigate unusual things. MIND GAMES Christian Slater is in this one. He and his brother are partners in a detective agency that uses psychological manipulation to solve client issues. Oh, joy. LUCKY 7 In Astoria, Queens, a group of 7 gas station employees have been going in together on a lotto pool. Each has problems money could perhaps solve. BETRAYAL A lawyer show involving infidelity RESURRECTION The long ago dead from Arcadia, MO start to return KILLER WOMEN A female Texas Ranger ONCE UPON A TIME IN WONDERLAND In Victorian England, a reworking of Alice in Wonderland SUPER FUN NIGHT A group of women have gotten together every Friday evening for a fun night, until one woman's life starts to get in the way, and she decides to try to switch things up. BACK IN THE GAME A former softball player is pulled back into the game when her son and his friends fail to make their local little league team, and they decide to form their own team of misfits TROPHY WIFE A former party girl marries a man who has been married twice before. THE GOLDBERGS Set in the 1980s, described as "a loving family like any other, just with a lot more yelling." MIXOLOGY This one, I actually think sounds kind of funny. Poor Tom hasn't been out to a bar in over 10 years. He gets dumped by his girlfriend, and his friends bring him to an upscale Manhattan bar. The first woman he meets is so harsh, he bursts out crying, and things only get worse from there, the poor dear. ABC has cancelled, as mentioned, "Happy Endings," "Body of Proof" and one not yet mentioned, "Malibu Country." They have renewed "Suburgatory," "The Middle," "Grey's Anatomy," "Castle," "Scandal," "Revenge" and "Once Upon A Time."
CBS has now decided *not* to pick up Beverly Hills Cop. The show will be shopped to other venues. Eddie Murphy is in this show, reprising his original role. Apparently, there was originally a bidding war over this show, which CBS won, so I'll be it will be picked up elsewhere.
I am assuming that the Wonderland show on ABC is a spin off from Once Upon a Time? It is even in the title. Is this the one with PeeWee Herman being cast?
The treatment I read didn't mention it being a spinoff of anything. It is written and executive produced by Eddie Kitsis and Adam Horowitz ("Once Upon A Time", though. There was no mention of PeeWee Herman in the cast list.
Wonderland is kind of a spinoff but it's really a standalone series designed to bridge the fall and spring halves of OUAT next season. I think it's only scheduled to be 13 episodes. I'm excited about it! Stoked to finally hear that OUAT, Revenge, Nashville, Grey's Anatomy, and Scandal were all officially renewed!

Totally agree, but with D'antoni at the helm I don't think that will change. This guy will do the unthinkable if he thinks it will help us win, hence him starting Darrius Morris on Melo today.

Metroman thread. :worthy:
We all agree, it's gonna be a tough one.
If we pull this one, I'll be very impressed.
Go Lakers!
Let's keep the metroman GT winning streak alive!
Lets Go Lakers!
I think the streak continues tonight. Work the ball inside and we will be just fine as far
As fatigue goes. McGee can't handle Howard, neither can faried. I think Kobe has a generous night. Him and Steve sharing the rock will be dangerous. Only thing that concerns me is keeping their athletic guards in front of us on the perimeter
Not really. Nor is it surprising. We don't need him to shoot 50+% when you have Kobe, Dwight and even MWP playing really well. Pau is our third option these days and he's quickly becoming the 5th option behind Kobe, Dwight, Nash and MWP.
Of course, we all want Pau to shoot better and we all know how good he can be. I just think he has become more of a rebounder and facilitator in our offense when Dwight is on the floor.
Is it 6 yet????
Back to back home and away for both teams... one coming off a loss and another off a win...
This has the classic case of a scheduled loss.
The only question is whether or not this will be a classic Denver blowout.
That's why giving away games early in the year is going to hurt them. B/c they aren't good enough to win scheduled losses such as this one.
It will be a miracle if they win this one, especially since in theory they are more rested than the Nuggets who flew late last night.
This is a tough game. They just got destroyed by the Clips, likely looking for revenge. We're also pretty old, they're young... and it's a back-to-back in Denver.
Didn't even say it was OK, just that it's passable. We don't need him to shoot a high percentage. Idk off the top of my head, but I'm quite sure not everyone on the team is shooting 40%. Don't they need to shoot better as well? Obviously not, if we're still winning.
It's like in baseball. Your ace and #2 starting pitchers should be great and well above average pitchers. Your 3-5 pitchers can be average with the 5th pitcher hoping to be a .500 record pitcher. We need Kobe and Dwight to have good games and have Nash and Gasol have average to good games, with Metta being the wild card.
once were back above 500 we will be in a roll like 20 streaks will be awesome.
We should win this one

How to be a happy stay at home mom
Hypnosis is a great way for the stay at home mom to appreciate and enjoy what she does
Are you stuck at home raising the kids and wondering if you've made the right decision?
Do you feel that you've somehow become a second-class citizen and that what you're doing as a mom isn't valued and appreciated?
In times gone by (and not so long ago, either) no one would have questioned the mother who stayed at home to raise her children. In fact, things were so different then that most women would have had to give up any job they had when they got married, because it was expected that they would soon be having children and therefore would not be available for work any more.
The questioning then was all directed at the woman who wanted to work and have children. Even mothers who, for economic reasons, had to go out to work, would be challenged about how good a mother they were. And working mothers would often be discriminated against and criticized - even by other women. Now it's all the other way round. But no easier for the mother!
Why more choice isn't easier for moms
It's good that women have more choice nowadays, but it's not good that there is this hierarchy of choice where one set of choices is seen as somehow inherently superior to another set of choices. The message many mothers get from the society around them is that they ought to be working, and that staying at home to raise children makes you an inferior person - someone who made a wrong choice.
It's not surprising that many stay at home moms fall into depression! It's difficult enough coping with the kids day in, day out, and putting up with the lack of adult company and stimulation. And sometimes you may find yourself in this position without actually choosing it - after divorce, for instance. Why should you be made to feel like a second-class citizen on top of it all?
So if you've decided that it's right for you to be at home with your children, how can you best deal with these stresses? How can you find support for what you do? How can you get the most out of your role as a mother without losing sight of yourself as an individual, or just succumbing to social pressure?
Hypnosis can help you enjoy life as a mom so much more
Stay at home mom is an audio hypnosis session developed by psychologists which can help you in several ways. As you relax deeply on a regular basis to this gentle yet powerful download, you will naturally find yourself
- experiencing increased levels of energy and enthusiasm
- feeling calmer and more relaxed
- more easily able to hold the value of what you do in mind

Are there any programs that will stream WMV files??? I have a few sites that stream WMV only and would really love to be able to watch those on my phone.
Nothing worked. So I have now moved on to using Subsonic to do on the fly conversions of my video and allow me to watch them VIA Froyo and Flash. It's a shame really cause I have a decent program on my Windows Home server that streams everything with on the fly conversion. But it only streams on WMV format and there is no changing it and with no Android WMV stream player out there it is a loss for now. But Subsonic is kinda working for me for the time being.
Not true. I don't believe the OS has WMV support built in, but several players including yxflash will play WMV videos. But streaming WMV seems to be a lost cause. I've been trying to find clear instructions on how to stream from VLC to Android. It seems to be possible but so far I haven't quite found the right recipe.

Donaji & the Magical Poncho
This is the story of a fearless girl and her encounter with the wicked cold wind god
4.27 / 5.00 4,755 ViewsHello People, I was experimenting with the 3D Studio and this are some angles of the character that im going to use in the animation
1st if you think that this must be un Youtube, **** you!!
I dont like the image quality there and i like more NG
I made 8 different poses, just choose one and drag it with the mouse
"I want to know what are the one that you liked most"
UPDATE: Interested in the rotation code? here is the link where i found it:
http://www.communitymx.co m/content/article.cfm?pag e=3&cid=8F0CA
by David Stiller
you defenitly have a future in making an animation from this. Have you also thought of selling this model to a game company? Cause I think this might fit well in halo or metroid.
I liked the kick, slice and rage beam best. But all were impressive!
you sunumubitch! I AM IMPRESSED!! you know you're like a pro now!
seriously the talent you see in todays artist is .. intimidating
keep rising that bar, even michael-neme-angelo will never reach .. ok im exaggerating but I know you wouldnt mind ;D
have a good day you
Incredibly incredible!
Those are some awesome models you've got there, very impressive, I mostly liked the slicing one and the rage beam, the others are very catchy too. With characters such as theese you have no chance to fail, so keep it up, man.
Thanks a lot dude, also i need to practice more :)
Impressive stuff mate!
I could imagien this character in a metroid game, but it started to look more original!
As soon as I rotated the Rage beam, I was surprised! The Big white explosion is nice to look at :D ! It's my favorite. Epic feeling.
The slice and kick were also cool because it felt "moving".
It's also interesting to see all the lightsources balls you used on the ground reflection.
Chibi = lol
keep up the good work mate! : )
thanks dude, i hope to start making the animations sequence soon ^^

1. Changing text color 2. Sideways text 3. XML tags 4. Footnotes 5. Notes 6. Hyperlinks 7. Tracked changes 8. Inline or anchored objects 9. Overset text 10. Overset tables
All of which are easier to read, grab, and move around in the Story Editor. Check out the video above to see the Story Editor in action.
Meanwhile, Anne-Marie's partner in InDesign secrecy, David Blatner, has an exclusive video for members in which he shares 10 ways to move an object in InDesign. The movie is aptly named Moving an object: Ten ways! and lynda.com members can find the video with the entire collection of InDesign Secrets.

Wash off all your makeup at night!!
Blend, blend, blend!!
Less is more….don't over do ur makeup!!!
Start taking care of your skin while your still young, it's going to be with you your entire life.
Looking at how two of my aunts who have always used creams don't even have wrinkles and two of their younger sisters who don't use creams do for sure it is to use creams and take care of my skin while i am young.
Take good care of your skin & wear sunscreen everyday.
1. That's is all about the proper skincare routine. And 2. Less is more.
Q-Tips are your best friend. They help with all of the boo-boos and uh-ohs! ;D
how imporant eyebrows are, contouring, highlighting, and how your foundation is supposed to match the color of your skin!
Couldn't have said it better myself! 😀
Wear a base under eyeshadow to prevent creasing. I should know, I have at least three on each eyelid.
I can wear any colour of eyeshadow that strikes my fancy. I'm not bound to purples/browns because my eyes are hazel.
It comes from within!!!!
Your face will always be your first and lasting impression on others. Take good care of it and make it beautiful!
This just makes me want to jump up and say "AMEN!" hehe
Re-evaluate your foundation from time to time (especially in summer and winter) what used to be a perfect match, may no longer be fabulous.
Blend, baby, blend!
ANYTHING GOES!! (if applied/blended well and worn with confidence). I swear it's so completely liberating to know that I CAN pull off any look or color combo I want (even if i have to modify it a bit) as long as I use tones flattering to my complexion and know what works for my features and skin type. There are no rules 🙂
That it's worth it to invest in good quality brushes.
To use an eyeshadow base. Before I really got into makeup, I never used a base. But now I know! 🙂

You Go, Will Johnson
The Bitch was recently put in touch with Will Johnson after a brief email exchange with Coconut Grove community activist Sue McConnell about criminal activity in the McMansion-happy hood. Specifically, the hound had asked, "What's the suggested course of action when .. drug dealing is going on at the home of an immediate neighbor? As in, after you report this person, and he gets a desk appearance ticket and is back to business in hours but certainly they know it's me who reported them, then what? ... Drug dealers don't think they're doing anything wrong; that's why they're in the business they're in. They think you're doing something wrong if you interfere in their commerce. So then what?"
Johnson, the longtime West Grove pundit and occasional columnist for the "Neighbors" section of the Miami Herald and Miami magazine, had plenty to say, which The Bitch is going to kind of reprint verbatim as follows. It's interesting to note, for what it's worth, that Johnson transmitted this manifesto from his miamidade.gov email address, where he works as an aide to District 7 County Commissioner Carlos Gimenez.
Let me start by correcting your first misconception — those who participate in the 'alternate economy' do know very well that what they are doing is 'wrong.' Otherwise they would not try to hide what they do.
If you have a neighbor —as I do — who participates in the drug trade — you could try communications — as I have. I met with my neighbor and told them that I could not in good conscience watch them make deals from their house while I profess to be for cleaning up crime in the neighborhood. I told them If they must do what they must do — then take it elsewhere and respect our street and the kids who play on our street — or — I would have no choice but to report them. That direct approach has worked for my block. I'm sure they have not gotten religion and left the business — but — they no longer conduct business on my street.
Johnson is certainly to be commended for his "war out in the open" style. And he has an interesting philosophical underpinning:
Our intent is not to go after your resident drug dealer neighbor — any way. These are only petty guys who are supplied by big guys who live in mansions on Star Island far above the petty busts and minor harassment of our neighborhood police. It will take the FBI, DEA or IRS to make a dent in their operations. So our local police go on arresting the petty neighborhood Caesars. They keep getting out of jail on a revolving door judicial plan. And, even if they stay in jail, they are quickly replaced by the one of the dozens waiting in line to make a couple hundred dollars a day. Those who live in this community — and you too probably — know the solution. Shift the enforcement emphasis and light to the buyer. Caveat-Emptor. If we make it unattractive for the buyer, white, black, Hispanic, rich or poor — we can dry up this market. Buyers come here because it's conveniently located and most of the time the dealers practice good customer service — and, unlike Overtown, Liberty City or OpaLocka, Grove dealers don't rob or kill them. Over the years they (Grove Dealers) have learned the value of repeat business.
Then Johnson chided The Bitch for her wimpiness: "People who hide their heads in the sand are part of the reason that these petty thugs think they can do what they want, when they want, and intimidate good citizens. We far out number them. They are afraid of us — not the other way around. Why should you expect every one else to confront and report while you hide behind your shutters and reap the reward (safe, clean, neighborhood) without any risk? It's folks who won't make a stand that create the atmosphere for the bad guys to thrive."

The dog then pointed out that she's not normally shy about a confrontation, she was just askin'. Johnson, ever eloquent, was quick to mitigate: "We are calling on all of our neighbors to step up. If you have -- then know that we are with you. [The drug dealers] have to go -- not you. "
All in all -- especially since The Bitch doesn't find the county government all that effective -- this exchange was informative and satisfactory. Too bad Johnson -- and others who generally give a damn -- can't be cloned and distributed elsewhere in South Florida. —Jean Carey

National Film Unit
The National Film Unit (NFU) was a state-owned film production organisation based in Miaramar New Zealand. Founded in 1941, it mostly produced newsreels, documentaries and promotional films about New Zealand, and for many years was the only significant film production facility in the country. Many people who were later prominent in the development of the modern New Zealand film industry were trained by the NFU.
The NFU was established in 1941 during the Second World War war with the brief to provide war-time information and propaganda to further the war effort. During the war, the NFU's output focussed on the production of the Weekly Review, a weekly magazine-style film journal that was distributed for free to New Zealand's cinemas. Further, it produced short documentaries about the war effort.
After the end of the war in 1945, the NFU continued with a renewed focus on "educational film" for domestic audiences as well as the projection of a favourable image of New Zealand overseas, particularly for tourism promotion as well as, to lesser extent, to attract immigrants and investment and to further trade.
In 1977 the NFU and Television New Zealand co-produced The Governor, a television docudrama about Sir George Grey.
When the NFU was privatised in the 1990s, it was purchased by TVNZ for a paltry NZD3m. When staff were told of the sale price, the triumphant management and government officials seemed somewhat surprised to be treated with a collective gasp followed by a "slow clap". TVNZ later sold the NFU to film-maker Peter Jackson who renamed the unit Park Road Post upon completion of new facilities in Park Road, Miramar, Wellington.

Crystalessence harness for pegging.
Whether you are wanting to try role reversal or are wanting to try something new with your partner, this harness/dildo combo is a great beginner buy.Published:
No o-ring to have to work with, fits different toys as long as it has a wide base.
Dildo material isn't amazing, the plastic on the harness wasn't comfortable for me.
Follow-up commentary
3 months after original review
We still like this toy. It has held up nicely. Mind you we don't use it every day but on the special occasion we will use it. Again, I feel that this is the perfect toy for those that are trying out harnesses. It is a great price for what you get and it seems to be made well and is holding up nicely.
This product was provided free of charge to the reviewer. This review is in compliance with the
FTC guidelines.
Sounds like a great find!
Nice review!
Thanks! It was a great one to try and and for sure let us know what we may want later down the road if pegging becomes more interesting to us.
Thank you for the review!
No discussions yet.
Thank you for viewing Sydnee Steele's crystalessence harness – harness and dildo set review page!

One

I could have warned her when she arrived in Russia, this petty German princess from Zerbst, a town no bigger than St. Petersburg's Summer Garden, this frail girl who would become Catherine.

This court is a new world to you, I could have said to her, a slippery ground. Do not be deceived by tender looks and flattering words, promises of splendor and triumph. This place is where hopes shrivel and die. This is where dreams turn to ashes.

She has charmed you already, our Empress. With her simplicity, the gentle touch of her hand, the tears she dried from her eyes at her first sight of you. With the vivacity of her speech and gestures, her brisk impatience with etiquette. How kind and frank Empress Elizabeth Petrovna is, you have said. Others have, too. Many others. But frankness can be a mask, a disguise, as her predecessor has learned far too late.

Three years ago our bewitching Empress was but a maiden princess at the court of Ivan VI, the baby Emperor, and his Regent Mother. There had been a fiancé lost to smallpox, there had been other prospects derailed by political intrigues until everyone believed that, at thirty-two and without a husband, the youngest daughter of Peter the Great had missed her chance at the throne. They all thought Elizabeth Petrovna flippant and flighty then, entangled in the intricacies of her dancing steps and the cut of her ball dresses—all but a handful who kept their eyes opened wide, who gambled on the power of her father's blood.

The French call her "Elizabeth the Merciful." For the day before she stole the throne of Russia from Ivan VI, she swore on the icon of St. Nicholas the Maker of Miracles that no one under her rule would ever be put to death. True to her word, on the day of the coup, she stopped the Palace Guards from slashing Ivan's infant throat. She plucked the wailing baby Emperor from his crib and kissed his rosy cheeks before she handed him back to his mother and packed them both off to live in prison.

She likes when we repeat that no head has been cut off since the day she took power but forbids us to mention the tongues and ears. Or the backs torn to meaty shreds by the knout. Or the prisoners nailed to a board and thrown into a freezing river. Mercy, too, knows how to deceive.

Here in the Russian court, I could have warned the pretty newcomer from Zerbst, life is a game and every player is cheating. Everyone watches everyone else. There is no room in this palace where you can be truly alone. Behind these walls there are corridors, a whole maze of them. For those who know, secret passages allow access where none is suspected. Panels open, bookcases move, sounds travel through hidden pipes. Every word you say may be repeated and used against you. Every friend you trust may betray you.

Your trunks will be searched. Double bottoms and hollowed books will not hold their secrets for long. Your letters will be copied before they are sent on their way. When your servant complains that an intimate piece of your clothing is missing, it may be because your scent is preserved in a corked bottle for the time when a hound is sent to sniff out your presence.

Keep your hands on your pockets. Learn the art of deception. When you are questioned, even in jest, even in passing, you have mere seconds to hide your thoughts, to split your soul and conceal what you do not want known. The eyes and ears of an inquisitor have no equals.

Listen to me.

I know.

The one you do not suspect is the most dangerous of spies.

As soon as she seized the throne of Russia, Empress Elizabeth made no secret of her resolve to rule alone, without a royal husband. Since she would have no children to succeed her, she sent for her sister's orphaned son, Karl Peter Ulrich, the Duke of Holstein. When the young Duke was brought to her, lanky and bone-thin, his eyes bloodshot with exhaustion after the long journey, she pressed him to her heaving bosom. "The blood of the Romanovs," she announced, as he stiffened in her arms. "The grandson of Peter the Great." She presided over his conversion to the Orthodox faith, renamed him Peter Fyodorovich, and made him the Crown Prince. He was fourteen years old. She didn't ask him if he wished to live with her. She didn't ask him if he wanted to rule Russia one day. Now, right after his fifteenth birthday, she didn't ask him if he wanted a bride.

Princess Sophie Fredrika Auguste Anhalt-Zerbst. It was her portrait that arrived first, and I recall the grand moment of its unveiling. Portraits of this kind are not meant to render a likeness, but to entice.

"Her?" I heard Chancellor Bestuzhev say when the Empress mentioned Sophie for the first time. "But why her?" The Chancellor mentioned the need of crafty ties, and hedging one's bets. Europe required a careful balance of power, he cautioned. The Prussians were growing too strong as it was. "Your Highness should consider a Saxon princess."

The Empress stifled a yawn.

"I've not decided anything yet," Elizabeth told him. Her nephew Peter was sitting at her feet, his long white fingers turning the turquoise ring around, as if he were tightening a screw.

In the weeks that followed I heard Sophie's father referred to as a prince of quite exceptional imbecility, a Prussian general not able to control his foolhardy wife for whom the shabby Court of Brunswick had become the measure of all grandeur. The Anhalt-Zerbsts were well connected but poor, shamelessly clamoring for Empress Elizabeth's attention, reminding her that she once almost married one of them, this tenuous link to Russia their only real hope of attaining significance.

When a footman parted the red velvet curtain, we saw a portrait of a slim and graceful figure standing by the mantel, a girl of fourteen, summoned from her studies. We saw the pale-green bodice of her gown, the dainty hands folded on her stomach. Whatever rumors may have reached us, Princess Sophie was not a cripple. No childhood illness had deformed her spine. There was an air of lightness around her; she seemed on the verge of breaking into a cheerful dance. Her chin was pointed, her lips small but shapely. Not quite pretty but fresh and playful, like a kitten watching a ball of yarn unfurl. The painter made sure we would not miss the exquisite pallor of her complexion, the softness of her eyes, the blue flecks of her pupils so striking a contrast to her raven-black hair. Nor could we overlook her ardent will to please.

Murmurs, hesitant and vague, filled the room. Courtiers' words mumbled and slurred so praise could still be retracted, blame turned into a veiled compliment. The art of deception, I thought, the eyespots on a butterfly's wing flickering for a lifesaving second. Grasshoppers that change their color with the seasons to match the fading leaves.

The grand gentlemen and ladies of the court were still looking at the portrait, but I knew there was something far more important to watch. The face of the Empress of Russia taking her first measure of this princess child who, if she willed it, would become her nephew's bride. The face I had learned to read.

There was a sigh, a slight twitch of Elizabeth Petrovna's lower lip. A moment of pensiveness, the same that descended upon her before the time of prayers. A tear slowly rolling down her rouged cheek.

My eyes returned to the portrait, and I knew what the Empress had perceived. In the painted features there was a slight but unmistakable hint of manliness, a distant echo of another, older face. The fiancé long dead. A memory that lingered and still moved her to tears.

"Lord be merciful. . . ."

When I heard the Empress of All the Russias whisper the prayer for the departed souls, I knew the Anhalt-Zerbsts had scored their first victory.

The chorus of voices rose, still hesitant, still unsure. No courtier wanted to risk Elizabeth's wrath. Like me, they had seen objects flung at anyone near her, a powder box exploding in a cloud of white dust, a silver statue of Amor and Psyche making a jagged dent in the floor. Like me, they had seen the quivering stump inside a mouth from which the tongue had been cut.

"Her dress is green," the Grand Duke Peter said. In German he drew out the vowels in an almost musical manner. It was only in Russian that he sounded awkward and harsh.

All eyes turned to him.

The Duke himself was dressed in a green velvet suit, embroidered with gold. At that time his face was not yet marred by smallpox. It was lean and pale but not unpleasant. The day before I had seen him stare at his hand, examining each finger as if it held some mystery worth pondering.

"What do you think, Peter?" Elizabeth asked the Grand Duke. I watched her smooth the sleeve of her dress, the rich burgundy brocade gown, play with the pearls that adorned it. "Does she look anything like this picture, Peter?"

"This is a good likeness," the Grand Duke said. "This is how I remember my cousin Sophie."

"Your second cousin, Peter."

"My second cousin," he agreed. "She is not a cripple."

"Who said she was a cripple?"

"I don't remember."

"Who told you she was a cripple, Peter?"

"I don't remember. My Blackamoor heard it. But it's not true. Sophie is very strong. In Eutin, she outran me every time we raced in the garden."

"Such display of vigor might not be such a good sign, Your Highness," Chancellor Bestuzhev remarked.

I looked at him. At the gray powdered curls of his wig, the bushy eyebrows, the soft lines of his smooth face. His velvet jacket was new, I noted, smartly cut, becoming. It was the color of dry blood. A miniature portrait of the Empress was pinned to his chest. More than once, I had seen the Chancellor leave Elizabeth's bedroom at dawn, his clothes rumpled, buttons undone, embers flickering in his black eyes.

A slippery eel? An old fox?

Had he missed what I had just seen? Was he still hoping the Empress had not set her mind on Sophie?

"Why not, my dear count?" Her Majesty frowned.

"Strong legs? A pointed chin? Women like that tend to be bossy. I've formed this opinion based on significant personal experience, Your Highness," Chancellor Bestuzhev continued, with a gracious bow. A slight titter traveled through the back of the room. The Chancellor's wife, known for her frequent storms of rage, had been endowed with a pointed chin.

Like an actor contemplating his next triumph, Bestuzhev added, "Experience I'd be pleased to tell Your Highness about at another, more opportune, time."

The Empress turned away from him.

"I've decided to invite Princess Sophie here," she said. "With her mother. Nothing official. The Anhalt-Zerbsts have received enough favors from me to show their gratitude."

I could see shoulders dropping in relief. Courtiers hurried to express their agreement, to offer reasons why they thought the Empress had made an excellent choice.

She was very cheerful that day. The embroidered trim of her gown shimmered as she moved, and I remember wondering who would get it, for the Empress never wore the same dress twice.

The portrait of the little German Princess with an eager smile was moved aside. Stretching on the daybed the footmen had fetched for her, Empress Elizabeth ordered Count Razumovsky to sing. There was no impatience on her face when he plucked the strings of his favorite bandura to tune it. She didn't even scold the Grand Duke when he stuck his thumb in his mouth, probing his gums. A week before, he had lost another rotting tooth.

For parents without parents is a project, that gives parents of children with autism an opportunity to gain new strengths. Since we launched of the project (august 2010) we have realized 9 two-day and 3 week stays.
One of the stay was realized for Edin. Edin (21 years) has a mother, a sister and a father who love him even though he is "different". When he was younger, he set the apartment on fire. If it weren't for fast intervention of the fire brigade, the apartment would burn to the ground, along with other apartments in the building. It is a miracle that no one was hurt on that occasion. And Edin didn't even understand what was happening.
Edin's sister had his name tattooed on her neck four years ago. She did it right after she moved out of shared household. They had lived together since early years and as she says their relationship grows stronger as they mature. The tattoo on her neck reminds her of their relationship.
Edin's parents separated three years ago. The time of divorce was difficult. Edin's behavior changed, more aggressive attacks appeared.
His mother who previously worked only occasionally had to start supporting herself and Edin. In the present she works in a hair studio.
She moved them to the country, which helps Edin a lot. He goes to bed only after all the hens are locked up in the hen house. He loves animals and would like to ride a horse. A big black poodle Biba lived in their household. Edin used to lie on her and she always respected that. They had to put her to sleep two months ago. Edin gradually realized it, as he couldn't find her at home, in his father's place, his sister's place or his grand parents' place. "Biba is not," said Edin as a farewell to her. He didn't shed a tear, but he won't be looking for her anymore.
Two-day stays in Andreas help Edin's mother, who became his custodian after the divorce. During her free days she can work in the hair studio and build a relationship with her new partner and her new rural life.
Your help will enable us to make the help even more intensive. We would like to provide help to families at least 4 times a month.

Another Small Crowd For WBC, But Selig Happy With Event Ahead Of Tonight's Final
Published March 19, 2013
GREAT EXPECTATIONS: In S.F., Ann Killion writes the scene at AT&T Park last night "isn't going to make the questions surrounding this event go away." While Sunday's game -- "fueled in large part by avid fans of Japan's team -- was a boisterous St. Patrick's Day-meets-Carnaval kind of atmosphere," last night was "different." It "didn't seem like that many people were actually in the stands," and MLB had to "cut ticket prices drastically" to increase ticket sales. While it was a "decent evening of entertainment at the ballpark," there is a "lot of work to do" before the '17 WBC. Selig has said that he "wants the event to become as big as the World Cup." But Killion writes that is a "ludicrous thought, and some take it as a sign of how out of touch Selig is with the rest of the sporting world." If MLB wants the WBC to be a "serious international competition, and if it wants the U.S. team to succeed (which it desperately does for marketing purposes), it will need to make some adjustments." Pockets of fans "are wildly enthusiastic," and national baseball writers "love the event because it gives them a break from the monotony of spring training." The writers are "willing to carry Selig's water on the WBC," but the event "still has a long way to go to live up to its name" (S.F. CHRONICLE, 3/19).
STRENGTHS & WEAKNESSES: The WALL STREET JOURNAL's Brian Costa writes the Dominican and Puerto Rican teams "have been among the most outwardly passionate" in the WBC. Dominican manager Tony Pena said, "We grew up with a stick in our hands. We are representing 10 million people from our country." Costa writes the WBC "tries hard to promote that sense of nationalism, and at times it seems more orchestrated than real." But with the Dominican Republic and Puerto Rico, "none of it is forced." It is "probably best to forget about the idea" of tonight's game being "some kind of proving ground at all." Costa: "It's not an Olympic gold-medal game. It's not a World Cup final. But it's also far from a meaningless exhibition." In a "flawed tournament that is more about promoting the game than showcasing the very best of it, pride is still a driving force" (WSJ.com, 3/19). In Phoenix, Dan Bickley wrote of the WBC, "We've seen American fans outworked by Latin Americans and Hispanics who have brought a soccer mentality to the ballpark." A scout yesterday "raved about the atmosphere at most of these games, and wished that American fans would show similar pride and patriotism" (AZCENTRAL.com, 3/18).
SUGGESTION BOX: In Philadelphia, David Murphy writes MLB is "doing what any good business does in attempting to monetize and enhance every aspect of its brand." The idea of the WBC is "easy to get behind," but its execution is "a lot more complex than most sound bites give justice." Unless MLB "cares enough about the WBC to sacrifice some regular-season games to build the tournament into the schedule, it shouldn't expect its fans, or the stars who attract them, to reciprocate" (PHILADELPHIA DAILY NEWS, 3/19). MLB Giants President & CEO Larry Baer said, "I think you're going to see each year incrementally more USA players -- the very best players, the pick of the litter -- will go and play and that will melt as an issue" ("Chronicle Live," Comcast SportsNet Bay Area, 3/18). MLBPA Dir of Player Relations Tony Clark said of the union's role in the recruiting process for WBC teams, "The federations themselves will give us a list of guys that they are interested in and if they are 40-man roster guys, guys that are a part of our membership, it is our responsibility to try to connect the dots to see whether or not those guys have an interest in participating" ("MLB Tonight," MLB Network, 3/18). In DC, Tom Loverro writes the WBC "still flies under the radar" in the U.S., competing with college basketball and "whatever business takes place under the NFL shield on any given day." But that is "too bad," because the WBC is "a great sporting event." It is a "passionate" and "fun" event. The WBC is "serving its purpose with international marketing and the growth of baseball." If MLB "really wanted to make it a meaningful event in this country, they would hold it in place of the All-Star Game every four years." It would entail "significant schedule issues, but imagine WBC games at Fenway Park or Nationals Park in July -- with no competition for attention" (WASHINGTON EXAMINER, 3/19).

VIDEO: Robert Jasper's Trad M12 Scarefest
In February, German alpinist Robert Jasper opened an exciting new four-pitch M12 WI5 trad mixed-climb on the Breitwangflue wall above Kandersteg, Switzerland. Jasper's route—Ritter der Kokosnuß (Monty Python and the Holy Grail)—is the direct line next to Jasper's Flying Circus (the world's first M10), which he established in 1998. The route has a crux pitch of naturally protected M12 climbing (using pegs, nuts, and friends), an M9 pitch and then finishes with a WI5 pitch.

Minipups is an awful place. Stay far far away. They are a puppy broker, and advertise dogs as "teacup" and "micro teacup" which is just sickening. As a fellow Ontarian, I've come across this site one too many times.
As for Kasamile, looks a little bit better, but still a "hobby breeder". One place I've heard great things about is JBLittle Maltese: www.jblittlemaltese.com |

Neither of these look reliable. I don't see the dogs they've shown to championship anywhere and the first one just screams BYB or puppy broker for puppy mills. You need to try to get to some dog shows and meet breeders there.

Thanks for the warnings on those two! I'm looking at that link you gave me, looks great but it's a 15 hour drive from where we live, does anybody know of any other great places in Ontario closer to Toronto?

I was going to post on it too, but I'm no expert but alarm bells went off on the first one with mini's teacups and celebrity endorcements, plus to put it delicately, mixed breeds (designer dogs)are mutts. I love mutts ,don't get me wrong but it's wrong to intentionally breed them.
The other one is a hobby breeder, even though it states she did show for a couple years, I'm not sure if that legitimizes it if she isn't showing and if her dogs finished? Would you necessarily need a breeder? You can find lovely Maltese puppies in rescues in Canada.... You get a puppy or any age fluff you want and it does a good deed and saves many lives...By adopting a rescue, you help rescues to continue their work and makes room for another fluff in need...

She was mentioned in the other thread that Sue posted, but if you are in Ontario, I would absolutely contact Vicky Fierheller. She was raised showing Maltese (her mother started showing in the 1960s). She shows her dogs in both Canada and the US. She is truly one of the experts on the breed especially in the areas of health and grooming. If she doesn't have any puppies now, she would still be the best person for you to talk to in your search.

WUOG Presents: Toro Y Moi
Classixx (Live)
40 Watt Club
285 West Washington St
Athens, GA, 30601
Doors 8:00 PM / Show 9:00 PM
This event is 18 and over
The product of a move from South Carolina to Berkeley, CA and the subsequent extended separation from loved ones, Toro Y Moi's third full-length, Anything in Return, puts Chaz Bundick right in the middle of the producer/songwriter dichotomy that his first two albums established. There's a pervasive sense of peace with his tendency to dabble in both sides of the modern music-making spectrum, and he sounds comfortable engaging in intuitive pop production and putting forth the impression of unmediated id. The producer's hand is prominent—not least in the sampled "yeah"s and "uh"s that give the album a hip-hop-indebted confidence—and many of the songs feature the 4/4 beats and deftly employed effects usually associated with house music. Tracks like "High Living" and "Day One" show a considerably Californian influence, their languid funk redolent of a West Coast temperament, and elsewhere—not least on lead single, "So Many Details"—the record plays with darker atmospheres than we're used to hearing from Toro Y Moi. Sounding quite assured in what some may call this songwriter's return to producerhood, Anything in Return is Bundick uninhibited by issues of genre, an album that feels like the artist's essence.
Born and raised in Columbia, South Carolina, Chaz Bundick has been toying with various musical projects since early adolescence. Having spent his formative years playing in punk and indie rock acts, his protean Toro Y Moi project has been his vessel for further musical exploration since 2001. During his time spent studying graphic design at the University of South Carolina, Chaz became increasingly focused on his solo work, incorporating electronics and allowing a wider range of influences—French house, Brian Wilson's pop, 80s R&B, and Stones Throw hip hop—to show up in his music. By the time he graduated in spring 2009, Chaz had refined his sound to something all his own, and music journals across the board touted his hazy recordings as the sound of the summer, and he released his debut album, Causers of This in early 2010.
Since then, Bundick has proven himself to be not just a prolific musician, but a diverse one as well, letting each successive release broaden the scope of the Toro Y Moi oeuvre. The funky psych-pop of 2011's Underneath the Pine evinced an artist who could create similar atmospheres even without the aid of source material and drum machines. His Freaking Out EP, a handful of singles and remixes, and a retrospective box-set plot points all along the producer/songwriter spectrum in which he's worked since his debut, and Anything In Return is another exciting offering that shows he's still not ready to settle into any one genre.

- Snow-capped mountains shrouded in clouds tower over the ninth gruelling march of indigenous people from Bolivia's eastern lowlands to the seat of government, to challenge the government's environment policy and protest the construction of a road through a protected area of rainforest and water reserves.
Close to 1,000 people are walking to La Paz from the city of Trinidad, 600 km away, where the march started on Apr. 27 with the aim of persuading the government to cancel a planned stretch of highway through the centre of the Isiboro Sécure National Park and Indigenous Territory (Tipnis).
The march, which involves climbing peaks 5,000 metres above sea level, is the second to be carried out in defence of the Tipnis natural park, located between the central departments (provinces) of Cochabamba and Beni.
Tipnis covers over 12,000 square km of staggering biodiversity in the Bolivian Amazon region in the centre of the country. The road through it, planned by the Bolivian government, is part of an international highway for the transport of goods from Brazil to the Pacific Ocean for which Brazil is paying 80 percent of the cost.
The second goal of the protest is to create a legal framework for prior consultation of indigenous people on all development projects involving land lived on by one of the 36 native groups recognised by the country's constitution, in force since 2009, Nazareth Flores, organising secretary for the protest, told IPS.
Trinidad is at an altitude of only 160 metres, while La Paz is at 3,600 metres above sea level, and the ascending route between them includes extremely difficult stretches.
The marchers are expected to reach La Paz this week and organisers are planning a demonstration at the president's residence, the Palacio Quemado.
In October 2011, a similar protest lasting 66 days drew massive popular support in La Paz, with thousands of people coming out into the streets to welcome the marchers. The demonstration succeeded in obtaining passage of a law cancelling the road project through the Tipnis natural park.
But the government backtracked on its decision following another march, this time in favour of the highway, carried out by outsiders who have settled in the park, coca growers and some local people supporting the governing Movement to Socialism party.
They pressured left-wing President Evo Morales to enact Law 222 on Consultation, which leaves open the possibility of building the controversial road.
As the column of protesters marches onward, negotiating precipices and enduring low temperatures and food shortages, in an attempt to get the law repealed, women and children are suffering from cold and flu viruses, and do not have enough warm clothing or food, Flores said.
As the marchers overcame one difficulty after another, President Morales gave a speech in defence of nature at the United Nations Conference on Sustainable Development, or Rio+20, which concluded Friday Jun. 22 in the Brazilian city of Rio de Janeiro.
Morales, an ethnic Aymara Indian, spoke in defence of indigenous peoples. But the marchers in Bolivia received his message with surprise and incredulity.
"Here he pays no heed to our demands, but surprisingly, abroad he talks about defending indigenous people," said Flores.
Journalist Gustavo Guzmán, a former Bolivian ambassador to the United States, pointed to seven occasions when Morales addressed the United Nations in New York and defended the rights of Mother Earth and indigenous people.
Pro-government Afro-Bolivian lawmaker Jorge Medina told IPS that the march and the demands of the tropical lowlands indigenous people have the recognition and backing of the constitution.
But he criticised the opposition Movement without Fear (MSM) party for "interfering" in the finances of the demonstration. He also complained about the presence of non-governmental organisations.
Participation by NGOs and political parties "ruins the spirit of the march," he said, adding that "Efforts must be made to reach an agreement that benefits everyone."
"Our position as indigenous people is firm. We seek dialogue," Carlos Salvatierra, a representative of the Central Organisation of the Indigenous Peoples of Beni (CPIB), told IPS.
On Wednesday Jun. 20, the constitutional court suspended the consultation planned by the government about the building of the highway through Tipnis, and ruled that procedures for the consultation must first be agreed between the parties, bringing a ray of hope to the marchers.
So far the march has cost the lives of two activists, a man and a woman who died in an accident Tuesday Jun. 19 while they were fetching provisions for the marchers. And in another traffic accident, a paramedic from the municipality of La Paz on his way to the marchers' campsite was killed.
Patricia Molina, coordinator of the Bolivian Forum on Environment and Development (FOBOMADE), told IPS "the government's environmental policies, past and present, have been mere rhetoric, a sham."
Molina pointed to pollution from mining, the burning of large areas of grassland and shrubs, the expansion of coca cultivation and the mountains of waste materials accumulating in Bolivia, and asked why no solutions to these problems were forthcoming.
"It's time to ask ourselves what kind of country we want, what kind of environment we want, and what we are going to do to stop the destruction of nature. It is clear that the government has nothing to contribute. The march continues to show up the government's doublespeak," she said.
