Polycystic Ovary Syndrome
Polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS) is a chronic endocrine disorder in women. With PCOS, the ovaries make the follicles, but the eggs do not mature or leave the ovary. The immature follicles can turn into fluid-filled sacs called cysts . Ovary and Fallopian TubeCopyright © Nucleus Medical Media, Inc.
The cause is not exactly known. Genes may play a role. The problem appears related to insulin resistance that creates high levels of insulin. These high insulin levels cause too much androgen from the ovaries. This prevents ovulation and leads to enlarged, polycystic ovaries. Excess androgen is also associated with:
- Hirsutism
—undesired hair growth on face and body
- Insulin
- Acne
- Hirsutism

The doctor will ask about your symptoms and medical history. A physical exam will be done. An ultrasound may be done to look for multiple cysts on the ovaries.
Urine and blood tests may be done to look for potential causes or check for pregnancy.
There are no current guidelines to prevent PCOS.
Risk Factors
Factors that may increase your chances of developing PCOS include:
- Family members with PCOS
- Irregular menstrual cycles
- Obesity
- Sedentary lifestyle
Some women may not have symptoms. In others, they may appear between the ages of 15-30 years. In women who have symptoms, PCOS may cause:
- Infertility
- Amenorrhea
—irregular menstrual periods or no menstrual period
- Obesity
- Dark patches of skin on neck, groin, and arm pit
- Hair loss
Women with PCOS are also at increased risk for:
- Type 2 diabetes
- Hyperlipidemia
—increased fat and cholesterol in the blood
- High blood pressure
- Metabolic syndrome
—a combination of obesity, and elevated blood pressure, blood glucose, and cholesterol, and increased tendency to blood clotting and inflammatory states
- Heart disease
- Endometrial hyperplasia—a precancerous condition marked by overgrowth and thickening of uterine lining
- Endometrial cancer
Treatment differs according to whether you want to conceive or not. The goal of treatment is to target the underlying insulin resistance that accompanies PCOS diagnosis.
Other treatment steps may include:
- Managing symptoms
- Weight loss if overweight
- Healthy eating
- Exercise
- Medications to improve insulin resistance, glucose intolerance, and prediabetes management
- Oral contraceptive
Inducing ovulation (if you want to get pregnant)
- Metformin or clomiphene citrate
- Advanced reproductive technologies
- Preventing complications
Anti-androgenic medications for blocking future

Competing against the nations top teams in the Showcase bracket, the U17 Florida Rush Nike team reached one of their season goals by winning the prestigious Disney Soccer Showcase tournament this past week.
After wins against Grand Rapids CREW and Cleveland FC in group play, Florida Rush finished as group winners and faced a very tough Javanon FC in the final match for the championship. Showing incredible resolve and character to keep battling, this game went into overtime and was finally decided by kicks from the Penalty Mark when Rush goalkeeper Juanes Fajardo stopped Javanon's 5th shot.
"I'm very proud of the way the boys played throughout this tournament. Winning the Disney Showcase is an excellent way for our team to finish out the year and well deserved," Coach Nate Omodt said. "This 1st place finish in the Disney Showcase
combined with a 2nd place finish in Region 3 Premier League this fall are evidence that this team is ready and can compete at the National Level."

The use of a lightsaber does not make one a Jedi, it is the ability to not use it.
I think the Eopie farting is longer too, like it sits there and scrunches up its face for an extra second or two trying to force it out. Now THAT'S comedy....

''Is this how this whole new scene plays out?''
I hope not! I liked Greg Proops' comedy on the old Whose Line show, but I was bothered by his performance in TPM.
I've not watched the discs yet, but I'm looking forward to re-immersing myself in the film.
I've decided that I'm a masochist. I bought the DVD because it was released on Monday here in the UK and got it home where it has sat on a shelf glaring at me. Why am I a masochist? I don't own a DVD player or have a DVD drive in my PC. Why did I buy the DVD? Because I'm dumb and foolish. It's so easy to part me from my money.....

There, there Emperor Jargo. By the way, can I barrow $20?
*ugh, okay so you don't have $. Its still funny *
I just watched the DVD... Nice print job on those disks isn't it? They look marvellous if you stare at them in full sunlight but not so good in electric light...... The case is a little disappointing with it's flippity floppity insert. And the 'booklet' reminded me of the flimsy inserts from those 'wacky' ancient cassette singles one used to buy back in the last century, before the advent of CD's..... Not a lot happened really exept that my dog Buster sniffed at the disks and then walked off disgusted.... Maybe I need to stare at them a little longer. How was it for you starfig? Was your viewing any more rewarding than mine?
I don't even know anybody who has a DVD player.....
The longer podrace is unneccary. The original cut was fine just the way it was but it is interesting to look at it.

Mr. Orange-I had no trouble getting your code up and running in 15 minutes - happily logging, saving, and reading the input to analog1. However, after hitting the arduino reset button, I found that the read function returns junk(from the SD card).Shouldn't the SD card retain data after a power cycle? or, is it a function of the code that you so nicely supplied to get me started - and I just don't understand it, yet?
if (mmc::initialize() != RES_OK) { error(PSTR("mmc init failed.\n")); }
while(mmc::initialize() != RES_OK){ pprint(PSTR("mmc init failed. retrying...\n")); delay(100); }

On the noise issue, single marks only.
Noise, no mark.
Re throw until quiet, then dog gets mark and praise for quiet.
May have to do this several times until dog is quiet at line.
But eventually he will get it.
IMO praise reinforces the experience.
It worked for me........but I am not an expert trainer by any means.
I do know a little about this issue.
I would also add that if this issue is somewhat rooted in genetics this could be around for the dogs entire life.
We run lots of singles until quiet is acheived, then run multiples.
Marking and memory are 2 seperate skill sets any way.
We run probably 80% or more singles.
Good luck...............

I believe the dogs name is "Butter" or "Jelly"??????? Pretty calm to me! lol
Randy is being the Professor......he's the best at this problem......he is teaching through this thread!

"Money will buy you a pretty good dog, but it won't buy the wag of his tail." ~ Henry Wheeler Shaw
"No matter how little money and how few possessions you own, having a dog makes you rich." ~ Louis Sabin
Meleagris, Mike first tried the conventional stuff like "sit, stick, sit" or "sit, nick, sit" and various other things that didn't phase her in the least. The way Mike got to my dog on creeping was the instant she moved on the mat, he picked her completely off the ground by the collar and used the heeling stick across her chest several times while saying sit. He then put her back on the mat without letting her retrieve, and called for another bird and if she moved, she got the stick treatment across the chest again. All the while he was reducing the excitement on the throw, by removing the shot, shortening the throw, etc. He said he need a successful mark to teach her what we wanted, ie no noise, creeping and a retrieve. It must have taken 15 or more throws before she got sent the first time. Again, as with the noise, I continued the creeping work everyday for at least a month before I ever took back training with a group. I just used a remote launcher and worked alone on this. She is pretty solid now on sitting still on the mat, but even a year later, I still have the heeling stick and am still watching her close for movement. Once in a while I will still get a correction on creeping and still do the stick on the chest thing and denying the dog the retrieve. Also, I train once in a while with Jerry Patopea and he is well aware of her line manner issues, so when I am with him, the dog still spends a good 30-45 minutes in a holding blind while other dogs run before she is allowed to the mat. Hope this helps.
Randy I am anxious to hear just how you fixed this in just 5 days. Dont know for sure what you would do in a step by step procedure. Some of what has been posted I like some I dont.
I have some knowledge of what you do through someone else that you have helped. I think it stems from ob. Dogs such as this need to be held to an extremely high standard of ob and need to trust and respect the handler as part of the team. Basically I consider it indirect training. By working and perfecting one thing it gives the dog more to concentrate on so if the dogs mind is occupied with the task at hand it forgets about the noise. Dogs such as this need to be challenged. With my dogs (one of which I have this problem) it starts at the kennel. She is 2 1/2 and is occaisionally slightly noisy in training but explodes at a trial, I might ad that she is a pretty talented little girl. She basically doesnt make a move unless I give her permission. She sits and doenst leave her kennel until released. She sits and doesnt touch her food until given the ok. There is a routine for everything. Out training when it is her turn the crate is opened in the truck but she does not come out until I go to the tail gate and call her. Then she comes to the tail gate and sits to have the collar put on then she is called to heel then released to air. At any of these steps if there is noise or if I have to give a command more than once we go back a step and do not progress until it is done right and without so much as a whimper. Right now I am working on a linning drill and perfecting pushing and pulling on line with me as this is mostly where the noise exists. She moves with me well but not to the level she needs to. I am guilty of accepting less than perfection. I am also working on this with my 5 yr old. I have jammed a few opens with her but she has developed a creeping and breaking problem. I am hoping that perfecting her manners on line through this linning drill will translate to a trial by creating team work by perfecting disapline. I believe that the noise, creeping, breaking etc. is all about the dog being self employed more than a team player. So I am hoping teaching the dog to become more of a team player it will indrectly take care of my problems. Hope this makes sense as I am not well versed at putting my thoughts to words.
I am seriously watching this thread trying to learn all I can on this issue because I have two very talented dogs that would be much much better without these problems.
FWIW I was joking about selling the dog. I have one of these dogs and I have tried everything under the sun to get a handle on it. I've spoken with Randy more than once over the phone about the issue. I have highly considered putting rowdy with randy to try and get the issue resolved. Like others I am interested in knowing what was done to help in such a short time. Noise is not my dogs issue but creeping and line manners in general. To me they are pretty much one in the same though. Bring on the answers.
For the people in this thread that mention there dogs having creeping and breaking problems--how did it get started. What did you do (or not do) to allow the behavior to become ingrained. I was anxious to get an HRCH title on the dog I mentioned. I was successful with that and we never dropped a test in HRC--the problem is he got away with creeping and bouncing around at the line. I could control it to an extent because you can talk to your dog in HRC. He has broken in the last couple of master tests we have run. I created the problem, not the dog. I would gladly give back that HRCH title if I could undo the monster I created. On the bright side it taught me a lesson. I learned that is not a road I'm willing to go back down with a dog. My next dog juice has had excellent line manners, he ran 7 derbies in 5 or 6 weekends this fall. He sat nicely for 6 of the 7 and at the most would pick his butt off the ground a little. That was the worst of it--in the 7th derby things changed. He seemed a little higher than usual, he stayed on the mat in the first but I could tell we were getting loose. My mind set went from wanting to win the derby to making sure we got out of there without causing any problems that would haunt us down the road. He crept off the mat with the first bird and by the time the second bird hit the ground he was about 2 feet in front of me. We picked up and went home--everyone including the judges wanted to know what I had picked him up for. It was simple, I've ruined one dog and thats enough for now. Disclaimer: if it had been the 4th series and we had a good chance to win--I still like to think I would have picked up. I don't know that for sure though, haha.
PM sent re my solution.
"I love the rod and gun and where they take me."
"Do not judge a man until you have walked two moons in his moccasins."
Just recently addressed this issue with my pup and much of what I did came from the original post.
Pup started barking, biting and doing back flips for puppy marks in the hall at 12 weeks. Kept giving marks until he did not want to bring them back at approximately 16 weeks. Stopped all marks and did 100% obedience for 2.5 months with the occasional test mark to see if problem persisted and it did.
At seven months started re-introducing marks. Good results with heavy pre-training exercise and obedience lesson(mostly stick work) prior to marks. Only a few marks and re-bird for any noise or movement while on lead.
Now almost at nine months and the pup is as steady as I want him at this stage but still a little cautious about using bumper boy (gun fire) or duck calls (so far all hand thrown marks by me or a helper).
Mostly yard mark with a few test marks in the field.
May be taking it a little slow but I am very concerned about the noise issue. Not sure if I created the problem with the puppy bumpers. Pup was pick of the litter and I chose him because he blew all the other pups out of the water (11 of them) with his desire to mark and retrieve at 7 weeks.

Bone-marrow is a soft, fatty tissue found inside of bones that produces blood cells (red blood cells, white blood cells, and platelets). Red blood cells carry oxygen throughout the body. White blood cells act to ward off infection. Platelets aid in blood-clotting.
Bone-marrow transplants are performed for:
While you are awake and pain-free (using local anesthesia), bone marrow is removed from the top of the hip bone (iliac crest). The bone marrow is filtered, treated, and transplanted immediately. Other times it's frozen and stored for later use. The bone marrow is then transfused through a vein (IV line). It naturally transports itself back into the intended bone cavities, where it grows quickly to replace the old bone marrow.
Bone-marrow transplants prolong the life of patients who might otherwise die. As with all major organ transplants, however, it is difficult to find bone-marrow donors, and the cost of surgery is very high. The donor is usually a sibling with compatible tissue. The more siblings you have, the better the chance of finding the right match. Occasionally, unrelated donors act as a source for bone-marrow transplants. The hospitalization period is three to six weeks. During this time, you are isolated and under strict monitoring because of the increased risk of infection. Attentive follow-up care is required for two to three months after discharge from the hospital. It takes about six months to a year for the immune system to fully recover from this procedure. Relatively normal activities are resumed after consulting with your doctor.

NC Becomes Latest State to Threaten Tesla's Direct Sales to Customers
Brandon Hill
May 14, 2013 11:33 AM
Recipient E-mail
Sender E-mail
Bill sponsor received $8,000 in campaign donations from the North Carolina Automobile Dealers Association
Living in the
Research Triangle Park
(RTP) area of North Carolina, which I nickname Silicon Valley East, I quite frequently see Tesla Model S sedans and Roadsters silently cruising down city streets and interstates. However, the North Carolina Senate Commerce Committee unanimously approved a measure that would make it
illegal for Tesla Motors to sell vehicles directly to customers
without the ever-present "middleman" in new car transactions: car dealerships.
Not surprisingly, the NC Automobile Dealers Association (which represents North Carolina's franchised car dealership) is behind this latest stab at Tesla. But according to NC ADA President Robert Glasser, this isn't an attack specifically aimed at Tesla. Glasser notes that the precedent Tesla has set for direct sales could set into motion a chain of events that would topple the entire dealership model of business.
"We care about the franchise system," said Glaser. "The whole point of the retail system is to protect the consumer."
Of course, Tesla Motors sees things quite differently. "They're trying to insulate the dealer franchise model from any competition," said Diarmuid O'Connell, Tesla's VP of Corporate and Business Development. "It's a protectionist move to lock down the market so we have to go through the middleman – the dealer – to sell our cars."
And here's an interesting tidbit that shines a whole new light on the story.
reports that Sen. Tom Apodaca, the Republican sponsor of the bill, received $8,000 in campaign donations (the maximum allowed by state law) from the NC ADA.
It's pretty clear to see why dealerships are shaking in their boots at the prospect of Tesla (and other auto manufacturers) selling directly to customers. Tesla managed to deliver a whopping
4,750 Model S sedans to customers during the month of April
. Compared to other luxury sedans that also dance in the $70,000 to $100,000+ price range, the Model S outpaced monthly sales of the Audi A8 (1,462 units), BMW 7-Series (2,338), Lexus LS (2,860) and Mercedes S Class (3,077).
Tesla Model S
Tesla has sold 80 Model S sedans in North Carolina and has an additional 60 orders in queue from residents. The overwhelming majority of those sales have come via the internet.
And one could argue that an electric vehicle like the Model S needs less attention from dealerships due to the much lower maintenance needs of the electric motor and battery pack. Quite simply, there is potentially less to go wrong with a Model S compared to BMW 750i with its twin-turbocharged V8 and 8-speed automatic transmission.
Despite this new speed bump in Tesla's road to electric vehicle proliferation, the company has been showered with a wealth of good news in the past week. Last week, Tesla reported its
first profit in its ten years of existence
Consumer Reports
gave the Model S a
near perfect rating
: 99 out of 100 possible points.
stock is up 57 percent
since its quarterly earnings were released last Thursday to just under $90/share.

An letter to don...
I have noticed that this is one of the best forums on InfoSec out there. It is truly our Resource for Forensics, Pen testing and Incident Response.
But don't you think that we should have a forum dedicated to programming ? Don't you consider programming as a must have skill for pentesters. What if one needs to-
=> Modify tools because they don't suit this particular circumstance.
=> Write tool to do a particular thing for which no tool is available.
=> Write, modify and compile exploits.
How can one expect to use a tool for something that it was never intended for if she can't read it source. She has to satisfy herself by just getting a broad overview of the tool available in the manuals. She can't "hack" tools without knowledge of programming.
I have tried to present my point by giving examples related to pentesters, like use of tools etc. There are many more reasons to learn programming. It is an indispensable skill.
I think that it is high time we should have a forum dedicated to programming on EH.

Lazy vs. Professional Sales People
December 18th, 2011 1 comment
Sales is a profession. When it is done 'professionally,' one can earn the type of income that other professionals earn. Years before I was introduced to the sales of manufactured homes, I was fortunate to have been trained by an insurance sales professional. Though the products are different, every business is the 'people business.' So there were helpful lessons that made the transition to a tangible product sales easier.
One of the great lessons from that trainer was the difference between the disciplined sales professional vs. a lazy one.
Stop and think. Medical doctors routinely study the latest literature. They take annual update classes. They read daily in their field.
Attorney's keep up with the latest decisions in case law. Lawyers also have to take classes and update information. Good teachers must do similarly, auto mechanics have to keep up with the latest cars and their mechanical trends and so on.
So why do some sales pros sometimes behave as if they know it all and have nothing more to learn?
I spoke with a firm once where the conversion ratio of in the door contacts to closed customers was 1 in a 100. Ouch. As I observed the 'process' that was followed, it was quickly apparent why. Excuses to management were the type of selling that location's sales staff seemed to specialize in.
To be a sales pro who truly wants to earn a professional income, one must:
– have a planned process – not a canned process – from initial contact to satisfied customer. Just as every professional sports team has there play book, but also practice how to ad lib a play, so too sales pros must drill on a process that routinely results in closed business.
– Review every sales encounter. In the insurance business, I was taught that after every sales call, you stopped and did a quick review immediately thereafter. What went well? What went awry? How could it be better next time? Professional players watch film! Why not 'replay' the sales encounter in a studious, professional fashion, so you can learn what works and what doesn't?
– Keep accurate records. Many firms have leaned the value of CRM (customer relationship management) software. A sales pro may be able to handle 20-30 prospects maximum manually and do 'well.' With CRM, hundreds can be in your data base and intelligently followed up. As important, don't lie to yourself or your company. Record and log every sales encounter. That means the 30 second one as well as the 3 hour one. You can't be your best until you – and your manager/coach – know exactly how your conversion ratios are going.
– Stay up to date! As a young student of manufactured housing, I devoured every trade magazine I could get my hands on cover to cover. I listened and observed all the sales people around me. Yes, that meant the good ones AND the poor ones. What made the poor ones weak? What made the more successful ones good? I watched and took notes. I asked questions from those who would shoot straight with me. I wanted to be a sponge, and soak up all the Info on homes, product or industry news and strategies that I possibly could.
As a result, my personal best month was 15 homes sold at retail. 1-3 homes a week was a routine sales result, once I was 'in the groove.' I earned more after my first year in MH sales than my father who was a well published full professor at a major university and more than my older brother-in-law who was a seasoned pharmacist.
Managers, set an example of dedication to learning. Let your staff see you reading news and tips daily here on MHProNews.com. Then, you can look your look your staff in the eyes, and say, here is part of your daily drill. You should have them read Everything!
I leaned sales methods ranging from the Schwepfinger approach to many others taught by factories, trainers, books or audios that I invested in or where provided by companies I worked with. Over the years, I created my own system from what I felt was the best of what I learned, which included such gems as SPIN and SIB-KIS in selling. We could take a house wife with no prior outside sales skills and if she had the right attitude and drive, with an easy to learn, low key approach, have her selling 3-4 homes a month. Those who became proficient would do double that monthly or more. One gent who worked with me accomplished an amazing feat: during a one day open house, he wrote seven up, got all seven approved and closed all seven sales, plus those he did the balance of that month.
7 in a day! That's selling!
Sales people have the advantage, but only if they are professional, respectful, listen and are dedicated. Ask the right questions, listen to what people tell you. Listen to what they mean, not just what they say. Have the right intentions, to truly serve them, not just to shoe horn them into a house.
At the PEAK Retailer summit, which we will have recap of at the Louisville Show mid January 2012, one of the attendees made this powerful statement:
People are more interested in whether you care vs. what you know.
So true!
Combine true care for your customers, a true desire to serve them the way you would want to be served. Combine that with a prudent sales process that is user friendly and you will earn a professional income while enjoying the benefits of having happy customers. ##

text: The Al Aqsa Mosque was built by the Muslim Caliph Al-Walid 20 years after the erection of the Dome of the Rock, in the year 711, at the far side of the Temple Mount platform to identify the compound as the place from which Mohammed ascended to heaven. Al-Aqsa means the farthest point, and refers to Mohammed's miraculous night flight on his winged horse, Al-Buraq, from Mecca to Jerusalem and back. Over the past 1,300 years the building has undergone many alterations, including after parts of it collapsed during earthquakes and wars. In the 12th century the mosque was taken over by the Knights Templar, who used it as their main headquarters in Israel. They called it Templum Salomonis (Royal Palace of Solomon) and architectural elements from that period can still be seen on the façade of the building and its eastern side. Beneath the building, where King Herod built up the hillside, the Crusaders stabled their horses and called the site Solomon's stables, even though there is no connection between them and the First Temple Period and King Solomon. After Saladin took over the city in 1187, the mosque was returned to its original purpose and has been under Muslim control ever since. Today it is administered by the Waqf, the Muslim authority that manages the Muslim holy sites in Israel. The mosque's lead dome can be seen from various observation points around the Old City, but only Muslims are allowed into the prayer hall.

Microsoft Takes Another Stab at Tablets, Unveils Surface 2 and Surface 2 Pro [Live Event Coverage]
Microsoft says that Surface 2 and Surface 2 Pro both benefit from "significant updates." Among them are improvements to processing power, better battery life, display and camera resolution upgrades, and a niftier Kickstand that now sports dual angles, making it more comfortable to use on your lap or desk.
As was previously rumored, NVIDIA's Tegra 4 platform powers the Surface 2 and its 10.6-inch ClearType display, which now boasts a Full HD 1080p resolution. ARMed with this new foundation, the tablet is supposed to be three to four times faster than than its predecessor, along with providing up to 25 percent longer battery life.
A look inside Surface 2
Dave was on hand at Microsoft's unveiling in New York to see Micosoft's new slates in action, and one thing that was really cool was seeing Surface 2 playing games like WOW and Portal 2 at high resolution using a wireless controller while multitasking at least three or more Office apps running in the background. The demo underscored the power of NVIDIA's Tegra 4 architecture, which Microsoft was wise to run with, but also the thread-handling efficiency of Microsoft's latest iteration of Windows 8.1.
Since this is an ARM-based tablet, Surface 2 will ship with Windows RT 8.1. It will also come pre-loaded with Microsoft Office 2013 RT, including Outlook RT. Surface 2 will come in 32GB and 64GB configurations starting at $449.
Moving on, Surface 2 Pro boasts an x86 foundation with Haswell inside (Core i5 dual-core processor) and the same 10.6 full HD 1920X1080 ClearType display. Microsoft views Surface 2 Pro as a "true laptop replacement" that can run pretty much all of your Windows software, including the full Microsoft Office suite.
That's 6K folks, not just 4K. - Surface 2 Pro Playing Video Recorded On RED Dragon Camera
At a starting price of $899, Surface 2 Pro will be offered in 64GB and 128GB flavors with 4GB of RAM, and 256GB and 512GB configurations with 8GB of RAM.
Microsoft also announced a new batch of accessories for its Surface 2 and Surface 2 products, including a Docking Station for the latter. The Docking Station lets you quickly connect Surface Pro and Surface Pro 2 to desktop PC peripherals with little hassle, in essence transforming it from a laptop to a desktop. Using the Docking Station, you can connect to an external monitor, among other things.
Typing is a lot easier on Surface 2 and Surface 2 Pro thanks to redesigned Touch Covers. As you can see above, the keyboard is wafer thin. It's also lighter, has a backlight, and according to Microsoft, allows you to type up to two times faster than onscreen. Part of the technology behind this claim comes as a result of the higher resolution membrane switch panel behind the key caps of the Touch Cover 2, which actually compensate for partially missed keystrokes and then auto-corrects for you on the fly, resulting in better key strike accuracy. Nice.
Microsoft Vice President Panos Panay Talks To The full Microsoft Surface Lineup
VP of Surface, Panos Panay with Surface Pro 2 - "Faster than 95% of laptops in market to date."
It's also very much worth noting that Microsoft is including some value-added services with Surface 2 and Surface 2 Pro. Customers who purchase either device will receive free Skype calling to landlines in more than 60 countries for a year, unlimited Skype Wi-Fi on their Surface 2 product, and perhaps biggest of all, a very healthy 200GB of free SkyDrive cloud storage for two years. That's how you wrap ecosystem support for a product. Microsoft appears to be taking note of what works and then executing.

In online marketing, search engine optimization (SEO) is a vital marketing strategy that helps businesses gain better search visibility for their brand, products, or services. Proof of SEO's importance is Google now processing at least 2 trillion searches per year from 2012's 1.2 trillion. A recent Nielsen survey also found that most shoppers research online before making a purchase, i.e., look up product information, compare prices, or click ads to find out more.
SEO is a technical field that heavily relies on data mined from a myriad of sources. But manually gathering data for crunching and analysis isn't the best use of your team's time, and hence the need for SEO tools to lighten the load for marketers.
One such SEO software is WebCEO, which carries a comprehensive suite of SEO tools that both beginner and expert SEOs can use to boost their sites' online rankings. Tools included are keyword research, internal links optimization, backlink quality check, toxic links identification and removal, among many others. WebCEO is both a desktop and web service, and this review will focus on the web version.
Because WebCEO resides in the cloud, there's no software download and installation necessary. All you need is sign up for an account and you're ready to analyze and optimize the SEO health of your websites – anytime, anywhere. To test drive the application, sign up for a free account to see if it fits your needs.
When you log in to WebCEO, the dashboard shows you a snapshot of your current projects, and depending on the widgets you've chosen at setup (which you can also edit as you go), you get a high-level view of the SEO status of your websites.
For example:
For a more granular look into the data, click on the site's name. From the drop-down menu to the right of the site's name, select the appropriate SEO tool to, say, assess a keyword's efficiency index or spy on a competitor's keywords or backlink profile.
Should you need to add another website to analyze and optimize, click on the Add Project button, and the widgets you choose can be arranged any way you want, with the data filtered according to what you only need shown.
The dashboard is also where you tweak your account's settings, upload a logo for interface and report branding, enable the WebCEO API access if you need WebCEO data streamed to an in-house or third-party application, check your billing profile and history, configure the interface's language settings, activate the white-label domain service, and more.
The Reports menu on the right-hand side of the dashboard lets you manage consolidated PDF and CSV reports, create email alerts, and design your branded reports' layout. The Users menu, which is to the right of the Reports menu, allows you to create groups, add users, configure user roles, and create project scan limits for certain user profiles to save on scanning costs.
For agencies offering SEO services, WebCEO functions as a one-stop shop for all your clients' SEO needs. Aside from consolidated SEO reports that you can brand accordingly, WebCEO offers a white-label platform that gives your teams and clients access to a custom domain or subdomain that hosts their web-based SEO tools.
If you're a SaaS company seeking to avoid the added costs of developing your own SEO tools, this feature lets you provide a self-service SEO portal to your clients as a value-added service.
Another agency feature worth noting is the customizable SEO audit button that you can place anywhere on your site. Visitors can then click on the button to request a free audit report. Use this as an opportunity to gather their contact information, offer your services, and turn them into paying customers. The SEO reports are personalized with your brand colors and logo, without any mention of WebCEO.
If just one word is allowed to describe WebCEO, that would be "versatility." Its built-in SEO tools cover a gamut of uses – from keyword analysis to competitor research, from on-page optimization to devising a backlink strategy, from social buzz monitoring to technical site audits. Once you find your way around it, you get good value for your money.
WebCEO's tools fall under four buckets: Site Audit, Link Building, Social Metrics, and Marketing Analytics.
When it comes to search engine marketing, keywords will never go out of style – at least not in the foreseeable future – regardless of the many different ways the search engines tweak their algorithms.
WebCEO shows you your competitor's keywords, provides suggestions on which keywords to use for better rankings, lets you create local search parameters to track how your keywords rank in a particular geographic region, and you can perform technical website audits, such as for broken links, URL errors, server issues, page access issues, and so on. It also presents error trends in graphical format so you know, even at a glance, what's happening over time.
Included in the Site Audit category are keyword research, internal links optimization, technical audit, SEO analysis, and sitemap generation.
Quality backlinks improve a site's search visibility, and WebCEO sees to it that all links pointing back to your site do not harm its integrity. The Backlink Quality Checker lets you weed out toxic links and report them to Google in a few clicks. The Backlink Competitor Spy lets you check your competitors' backlinks and sort them according to trust flow, allowing you to then perform needed actions to ensure you have links coming from trusted pages on the internet.
For the Link Building category, tools you get conduct backlink quality checks, competitor backlink intelligence, monitoring of specific links, and content submission.
While distinct in their uses and objectives, social media and SEO work well together. They form the pillars of an effective online marketing strategy. WebCEO, through its web buzz monitoring tool, lists all the blogs and online publications that talk about the keywords you're looking for, which is the first step in finding people and partners who could write about your product or service.
It also has a Twitter buzz monitoring feature that shows you all the Twitter profiles mentioning the keywords that matter to you. Depending on how relevant they are to your industry or purpose, it helps you identify the people and entities to follow and engage with, the tweets to retweet to your audience, and so on.
The Social Metrics category includes web buzz monitoring, social engagement, and Facebook insights.
WebCEO's rank tracking functionality lets you monitor how your keywords rank on selected search engines and locales and devices, how your site fares against competitors, and if your ranking positions are improving compared to previous scans.
The web analytics feature pulls your site's data from Google Analytics (you'll have to authorize WebCEO to enable this), as well as competitor traffic ranking from Alexa and compete.com. The competitor metrics tool provides a graphical overview of your site's position versus competitors in terms of total backlinks, average ranking, and traffic.
Marketing Analytics covers rank tracking, web analytics, Google Search Console, and competitor metrics.
WebCEO is a tool that works for businesses of various sizes in a variety of industries. It's perfect for freelancers, SEO agencies, in-house SEO teams, and software startups.
Aside from the software being readily accessible in the cloud, WebCEO carries all the SEO tools agencies need to provide top-notch SEO services to their customers. Its tiered subscription scheme allows freelancers and startups to begin with the most cost-effective option, then scale up as their business grows. A forever free account with limited features is likewise available.

Honda Develops Three New Sport Hybrid Systems

New Honda hybrid systems target three different vehicle types
Honda Motor Company has announced the development of a new Sports Hybrid Intelligent Dual Clutch Drive system. The company has three different version of the Sport Hybrid system to accommodate different vehicle characteristics.
The new one-motor Sport Hybrid Intelligent Dual Clutch Drive system is optimized for small-sized vehicles. Honda has a two-motor hybrid system called the Sport Hybrid Intelligent Multi-Mode Drive that is optimized for medium-sized vehicles. The third Sport Hybrid system is called the Sport Hybrid SH-AWD that features three motors. That last system is optimized for large vehicles and has been tipped for the new
Acura NSX
sports car.
The one-motor system uses a newly developed in-line four-cylinder 1.5-liter Atkinson cycle engine mated with a seven-speed dual clutch transmission. The hybrid system also uses a high-output lithium-ion battery and promises to improve efficiency by over 30% compared to conventional one-motor systems.
2014 Honda Accord Plug-in Hybrid
The two-motor system will be first used in the
2014 Honda Accord Plug-in vehicle
and uses a lockup clutch and lithium-ion battery pack. The system will offer three different profiles depending on the driving situation, including EV Drive for electric only use, Engine Drive for medium to high-speed cruising, and Hybrid Drive for urban driving conditions.
The three-motor system combines a V6 engine and a high-output three-motor electrical system providing acceleration performance equivalent to that of a V-8 engine. The big benefit with this system is that despite the V-8 performance, fuel efficiency is reportedly better than that of an in-line four-cylinder.
Acura NSX Concept
The system will be mated with a 3.5-liter V6 engine and a seven-speed DCT transmission with its own built-in motor. The system uses independent motors for the right and left rear wheels with positive torque applied to the outside wheel and negative torque applied to the inside wheel allowing for independent control of torque distribution. The system is designed to help improve cornering performance – this makes the NSX the perfect application for such technology.

Karl-Marx-Allee is a testament to Stalinist architecture; the Volkspark Friedrichshain houses the Brothers Grimm Fountain.

But our evil has not stopped here. Owing to the mental capacity of some of these speculators, and to certain conditions in South African public life, the conception suggested itself to them: that were it possible to obtain complete control of the political machinery in any African State (notably of the Cape Colony), and could they hold the reins of Government in their own hands, their power for increasing their wealth, for resisting taxation upon those industries of which they possessed monopolies, and for ex- extending page: 38 tending their commercial exploitations into adjoining territories, would be immeasurably increased.
This conception has been seized and carried out.
The means of its accomplishment in the Cape Colony has been through the complete control gained by the Monopolists over the only group in South Africa whom they could hope to guide, and whom, in view of their extra-colonial plans, it was necessary to keep pacified and well in hand.
It is this command of the political machinery of the country by the Monopolist, owing to his union with one page: 39 section, which constitutes the real disease from which the Cape Colony is suffering. It is this which lies at the back of our Retrogressive Movement.
For the Monopolist Party, determined to obtain control of the political machinery, could only do so by purchasing the co-operation of some truly South African body. The more shrewd and modern section of South Africans—professional men, merchants, go-ahead newspaper-reading farmers—are, very many of them, unpurchasable; and those who are not would demand a high price in concessions local and personal, and even then could page: 40 not be blindly led. Our working population being mainly native, and very slightly enfranchised, is not at the present day, and will not be for a long time to come, a party powerful enough to make its support a strength to any leader. Then there remained for the Speculatist and Monopolist Party but one body to whom it could turn with any hope that it would place it in power. This body was the Retrogressive Element in the Bond Party. It was purchased, not by the outlay of capital, nor by offers of place and power to its members, but, much more cheaply for the Monopolist, by the simple page: 41 expedient of offering to support those Retrogressive measures which without his aid could never have found a place on our Colonial Statute-book.
The Kafir's back and the poor man's enhanced outlay on the necessaries of life pay the Monopolist's bribe.
On the other hand, the Retrogressive Element, once enabled to pass such measures as lay nearest its heart by the cooperation of the Monopolist with his skill and intelligence, is willing to give him a perfectly free hand, and support him in all measures which do not touch its Retrogressive instincts. We thus have the page: 42 Retrogressive Party supporting the Monopolist in carrying out measures in which he has no interest or concern, and the Monopolist assisting the Retrogressive Party in setting upon the Statute-book measures which are repugnant to his own common sense and shrewd modern outlook. Taking advantage of that childlike simplicity which is at once the weakness and the greatest charm of the Boer, he leads him whither he would and also whither he would not.
It is from this unnatural marriage that are born those evils under which the Colony groans to-day. It is a marriage which must end in rupture page: 43 when the Retrogressive Party discover how, instead of a union of affection, they have been led into one of convenience, and that the bridegroom is quite ready to forsake his bride when she has nothing more to give him.
Nevertheless, to-day it is this coalition which is unpicking the progressive enactments of the past, which is enabling the Monopolist Party to carry out unhampered its financial depredations here and in the Northern Territories. It is this coalition which, by giving political power to enormously wealthy individuals, is corroding our public life, till the principle that every page: 44 man has his price and can be squared, if you can only find his figure, is becoming an established dogma.
Worse than any of those retrogressive measures which the Bondsman, in simplicity and sincerity, desires to see enacted are those measures which he allows others to take, who are neither simple nor sincere.

"Helping Hunters Train Their Dogs"
Interesting thread, by the way. Didn't really understand the little bit of snarkiness in the beginning. I don't play the games, just hunt my knucklehead and have mostly taught him to get to area of fall and then work the wind. Terrain not much of a factor here as we are FLATTT and unlike those that play the games, I don't really mind the bank running as I mostly hunt dove and would rather take home a dog that hasn't just been swimming in a stinky stock tank.

(George Washington)
Gig'em Aggies!! BTCO'77HOO t.u.!!
What does this mean? Answering two of your questions and as an Amateur and you label it killing the thread?
You asked 3 questions.
1. What advice would you offer the group as to how factors effect dogs?
2. If you were asked to speak on only one factor(terrain, cover, wind, lighting) and,
3. emphasize the most important thing to be aware of as a Handler, what would it be?
I answered 2 and 3. The answer to 1. Is rather obvious in that factors affect dogs by making it difficult for dogs to reach their destination. I assume you know how factors do that or you wouldnt have been asked for the presentation.
Perhaps you should give us your key points and request feedback. No point in regurgitating the market material as you say. But not sure what you understand from that market? Assume you know that dogs fade with the wind which I believe is paramount to consider for every retrieve. I think, perhaps contrary to Captainjack, that fading is more important than being attracted to scent. When dogs cant smell anything on their route, they naturally drift downwind. We called this the wind is pushing them but they are allowing themselves to keep checking where they dont smell anything. This is more common than being attracted to en route drag back although the later can be critical.
The key to understanding any factor and especially wind is that distance enhances them. In other words, the factor operates to influence the dog for a longer time. Thats why field trialers spend their dogs life working on factors and hunt testers pay far less attention. A long cross hill mark will eventually act to cause dogs to climb or fall but this is often irrelevant on a short retrieve. Water acts as a factor to deviate dogs when they try to run around it either to get there faster or because they have an aversion to it. While in the water, the easy shoreline is an attraction. Distance is important for both. Water as a factor is easier to train for than is wind. As I said dogs live by their noses. The vast majority of birds are found by their nose even though the eyes get them there. Failure to get there because of factors and then failure to smell a bird is the cause for almost all retrieve failures.
A discussion of simple single factors is rather basic. What is challenging is understanding how factors complement each other. Are they in concert of cancelling? Two or three factors all influencing the dog in the same direction are extremely powerful (wind onto shore) whereas factors that cancel each other (wind off shore) are lesser.
Diversions as used in the Rule Book are man introduced things like birds thrown and retrieved or not. I do not mind including them as factors because they do deviate a dog from their line. Historically, factors were more considered natural influences such as wind, water, terrain, and cover.
Incidentally, I do not think factors are a buzz word. They have been part of the literature since the 1970s and before(eg. Rex Carr) and the Rule book specially describes them and their role in designing tests.

Sorry the links didn't work. I searched and found these again, also copied and pasted into a new browser window and they came up so hopefully they work.
Both were great exercises in setting up marks and why features/space and other marks would push/pull dogs. Hopefully with the responses you've gotten you have enough material to talk about.

For the OP that is prepping a lecture on factors that AEFfect dogs at the master HT level.
i think discussion has to include the rules of the venue..
How many times have you seen dogs that avoid factors, but they very much know where the bird is when MARKING..
Is the line to that mark judged? by rule.
I suppose there will be some that will use the disturbing to much cover argument, but,, if the dog takes his own way to the mark,, deliberatly, with no hunt along the way to the AOF,, and once there,, establishes his hunt and picks up the bird,, why is there a debate on factors?? wont that dog pass?
Many hunt test venues dont judge the return. Very few HT participants worry about it when training. But yet, many Pros willtellyou, that its important to train the return becuse they believe a dog that cheats the return or is AEFected by Factors will do the same on the way out..
If we are talking MARKING and only the HT venues, and considering for the most part, the guns are hidden,how can we even consider how the "Factors" AEffect the dog, if we really arent SURE the dog saw the mark in the first place? We pretty much just Assume the dog SHOULD have seen it..
Judges Judge that dogs performance to the standard by watching the dog make the AOF with determination knowing clearly where the bird is. Do we judge the line??? Can a dog that cheats,, or avoids, or is influenced by Factors be a reliable marker, and PASS a HT? I think so!
I believe some times when a HT dog looses itsway on a mark,,and I hear folks say the dog caved to some diversion or factor, and that caused him to get lost,, I always ask myself,,how do they know FOR SURE the dog saw the mark? The Gun is hidden,, the timming between throws many be a bit fast, a miriad of reasons ,but what the problem is, we dont taken enough care many times to make sure the dog SEES! Many times I believe there are deliberate moves in HT to make it difficult for the dog NOT to SEE .
How can you have a discussion of factors AEFFecting a dog in that senario?
I believe much of the talk at the OP seminar, should include a serious discussion talking about making sure dog get every chance to SEE marks thrown..
And a discussion about NOT setting up tests that trick, or make it difficult for a dog to see...
Blinds are different. You are required to challenge the line that takes the most direct path to the bird. (Some Venues)
In that senario,, the Factors play a HUGE role... they are utilised,, and judges judge how the dog makes its way through them.
You dont have to consider a hidden gun, and wether the dog saw anything!
Wow! Gooser. That sounds like the beginning of sagacity. My compliments to the people you have been training with.

Vehicle gate to close three hours earlier
Posted March 22, 2006; 05:18 p.m.
Beginning Monday, March 27, Princeton University's Nassau Street vehicular access gate will close three hours earlier to traffic during the week, remaining open from 7 a.m. to 8 p.m. Monday through Friday.
The Department of Public Safety permanently revised the access schedule based on a motor-vehicle traffic study that showed that, while the gate was previously open until 11 p.m., there was little travel on and off campus after 8 p.m. The Nassau Street gate will continue to be closed all day Saturday and Sunday, except during Reunions and Alumni Day. Motorists will continue to be allowed to enter campus through the Elm Drive entrance at the south end of campus, which will still be open 24 hours every day.
The Department of Public Safety will work closely with Richardson Auditorium to provide staffing at the Nassau Street gate on week nights when there are events at Richardson. Also, access will always be open to emergency vehicles.

Ricardo Malta of Grand Valley pins Shandon Hadley during their match Thursday night at Moffat County High School. The Cardinals beat the Bulldogs, 39-30.
Stories this photo appears in:
Moffat wrestlers come up short vs. Grand Valley
In their first home meet of two this season, the Moffat County wrestling team's debut in Craig didn't quite go as planned. The Bulldogs didn't have their full arsenal of wrestlers competing due to injuries or a lack of an opponent from Grand Valley, and lost to the Cardinals, 39-30. But that didn't take away from a raucus evening in the MCHS gym. Through each match, an energetic crowd added more intensity to the competition on the mat. The effect was not lost on head coach Roman Gutierrez.

In the Bollinger situtaion, she saved U S Tax payers 30 million and no ship builder builds a better cutter than them!
He is a little lesson for you NeoCons; not all (D's) are bad and not all (R's) are good.
So, she's the smartest cookie in the room. All the Senators that voted for Obamacare got zero whereas she got 400million for the state for her vote! Her last three candidates ran on a ProLife platform and got blown out of the water at election time. Maybe if they has something else to run on people would take them seriously!
Don't like the system? Then quit supporting it! I have.
Like I said on the other thread where Marv attacked Landrieu, I said that she was not perfect. The REASON she gets support from state GOP leaders is because of the fruitcase candidates that the run against her as (R's). She gets the support of the (R's) because no one fights for the oil & gas industry more effectively than she does!

Crowdsourcing agency Victor & Spoils has had a bit of fun with the Dove Body Evolution video. For its holiday card this year, the agency has done it's own version of digital manipulation, transforming the Dove Body Evolution model into Santa Claus. The video begins with the statement, "Ad agencies go to disturbing lengths to create the perfect image." And then, "Guess we're no different." The model is then transformed into St. Nick.
Let's just hope Santa Claus 4 doesn't go in this direction.

This year marked the 30 year anniversary of the discovery of HIV/AIDS, and the 9th annual Shopping with Friends Kick-Off Brunch. Partygoers found the Riviera at Charleston Place decked with holiday cheer and the main ballroom filled with beautiful red floral arrangements.
Each person was greeted with a mimosa on their way into the party, and everyone chatted and mingled over drinks until the brunch line opened up. Then guests enjoyed eggs, grits, bacon, pastries, and fresh fruit while being welcomed by Lowcountry AIDS Services Executive Director Brad Childs.
Childs then debuted a video detailing the history of AIDS over the last 30 years and a number of statistics regarding the continued battle against the HIV/AIDS virus. The sobering but moving video was followed by this year's awards. Tamara Bolding was awarded Volunteer of the Year, Jill Barnes was honored as Employee of the Year, Vanessa Goodwin received the Spirit Award, and Carolyn Murray took home the Community Advocate Award. This year's Lifetime Achievement Award went home with Frank McCann.
As the applause died down, auctioneer Tom Crawford kicked off the live auction. A number of funny moments punctuated the auction, and the ever-charitable Nancy Bush found herself in a bidding war with... herself! Crawford got down on one knee to encourage the bidding, and then later egged on a different bidder saying, "Do you need a mimosa? Let me grab you a drink!"
The lovely morning drew to a close and each guest left with a swag bag as a thank you for supporting Lowcountry AIDS Services.
Lowcountry AIDS Services (LAS) is the only organization in the tri-county area that deals with the entire effect of AIDS, including prevention, counseling, helping clients get treatment, finding housing, and securing legal help. LAS strives to provide practical and emotional support to people with HIV/AIDS, their families, friends, and loved ones.

There is a time and a place for bought straddles and strangles. Ideal market conditions are when volatility is low and expected to increase. The bought strangle is a non-directional trade with the share price able to move upwards or downwards to profit in this strategy.
The idea with bought strangles is to identify a large share price move. This share price move can be either an increase or decrease in share price. To identify these moves you can look at technical analysis and fundamental analysis. Technical analysis tried to identify a break out pattern, while the fundamental analysis indentifies a particular announcement that may cause a large move in share price.

i dont know sh!?t about golden history but i know a great dog when i see one, why isnt jake mentioned ?
IMO Jake has proven himself as a producer, for sure. BTW, Jake was the test dog for the first series of the specialty derby in 2011 (John ending up having to judge). He might have been a little underwhelmed by that double
Didn't your daughter run him John?

He is definately a great dog. I've even heard folks that have seen him run say things like," He has the water skills of a Lab." or "He thinks he's a Lab." Well, I'll have to only partially agree. And, I understand these comments are just made in fun, and are sincere compliments. But, Jakey doesn't think he's anything besides a part of John & Andy's families. And yes he has the skills of the best of any breed. He's one of the great ones.

My daughter first ran Jake when he was a 2 year old fresh out of his Derby career. My daughter Mary was only 3. They were great in the land series and nailed the water double with a flyer. I forgot he had to honor in that series. He had not been taught that yet. It was too much for them and he had a controlled break. I've got the video of it somewhere. Love watching him run pre-injury. Gives me goosebumps....and tears.
Thanks guys for including Jake.
He's our once in a lifetime dog. Lucy might be our 2nd. Don't know how much luck a couple of guys with day jobs can have, but we are very thankful for our good fortunes and thankful for all of the support over the years. So much from friends that normally prefer other breeds!

Parking tickets for expired decals to begin Nov. 1
Posted October 25, 2001; 04:11 p.m.
Tickets will start being issued on Nov. 1 to full-time faculty and staff members whose parking stickers have expired. The deadline had been extended from Oct. 18, since many of the stickers were still in interoffice mail after that date.
However, as of Oct. 25, parking office representatives say several hundred forms for new parking decals have yet to be submitted. The fine for an expired sticker is $20, going up to $30 per ticket if the fine is paid after the 10-day grace period.
To avoid receiving a ticket, those who have not completed the applications should do so immediately and drop them off at the parking office in Stanhope Hall. For more information, call 258-3157.

Best Hand Lotion for Work!
I bought this hand lotion for work because I already just love this smell so much. The reason I love the lotion is because it's moisturizing, but also isn't greasy. I have the Lavender at home so I already knew that about Thymes hand lotion. It's perfect for work because I can carry on with my job shortly after I apply it without getting everything on my desk all greasy. The only thing I would say if you aren't familiar with their lotions is that they are pretty potent. Your coworkers WILL smell it every time you put it on so I guess just be courteous of that. I only have one person near me and he likes the smell so I lucked out.

France 1911 – United States of America 2010
[previously known as The blind leading the blind]
Place made:
New York, New York, United States of America
Creation Notes: repainted by the artist in 1979
Materials & Technique: sculptures, painted wood
One of Bourgeois' earliest major sculptures, C.O.Y:O.T.E., and two related pieces, both titled The blind leading the blind1 were begun in 1941, when increased studio space gave the artist the opportunity to work on a large scale for the first time.2 Lucy Lippard has pointed out that the combination of human and architectural elements in these sculptures-legs and lintel-can be found in Bourgeois' earlier works: drawings, paintings and small carved and painted wooden sculptures in which tall, narrow buildings sprout stilts or legs.3 When she first arrived in New York from Paris in 1938 Bourgeois recalled being 'struck by the brownstones, which were a form of habitat I had never seen, and since they were very large and very high and very narrow they reminded me of the human body'.4
Bourgeois herself, however, has traced the genesis of C.O.Y:O.T.E. and The blind leading the blindto childhood memories when she and her brother crouched beneath the kitchen table watching the legs of their parents move back and forth as they prepared a meal.5 Referring specifically to the work in the Australian National Gallery, she has said:
It represents an army of legs, two by two, that holds together Eight pairs of legs. The reason this blind army of legs does not fall, even though the legs are a/ways afraid of falling, since they come to a point, is that they hold on to each other. This is exactly what I felt when I was a child, when I was hiding under the table. My brother was following me like a shadow; I was blind with fear and so was he. I don't know what we were looking at. But I was watching the feet of my father and mother from under the table, while they were preparing the meal. And I fought to myself, What are they doing? What is their game? What is their purpose? How do I relate to them? And in the end I considered that they were not friendly I decided that the outside was not friendly And I was afraid, simply afraid. I couldn't understand their purpose, which was to prepare lunch. I didn't understand why they were walking around the table. Why would one pair of legs interfere with the other visually physically? There were their legs and the table's legs. It really just made me wonder where I fitted in.6
If the form of these sculptures owed something to childhood memories, their title The blind leading the blind, (a title which was also originally applied to C.O.Y.O.T.E.), had a very contemporary relevance for Bourgeois. Taken from the New Testament (Matthew 15:14: 'if the blind lead the blind, both shall fall into the ditch'), the title was chosen for works in which the artist saw 'catastrophe', 'a chain of pain', 'people fated to be destroyed together'.7 The sculptures were made at the height of the cold war, at a time when her friends, artists Marcel Duchamp (1887-1968), Amédée Ozenfant (1886-1966) and André L'Hôte (1885-1962), were under investigation by the House Unamerican Activities Committee.
In 1979, in preparation for her exhibition at Xavier Fourcade's Gallery in September, Bourgeois gave a new title to one of the The blind leading the blind sculptures, and repainted it, covering the original black and red colour scheme with flesh-pink paint. The new title, C.O.Y:O.T.E., stands for 'Call Off Your Old Tired Ethics' and was taken from a tract written by Bourgeois's friend Margot Saint James, in which she argued the right of prostitutes to a reasonable workers' organisation. Bourgeois explained:
'The blind leading the blind' is a piece that brings me to the feminist cause. Another, which is very close, is C.O.YO.T.E., which was the name of the prostitutes' group. All they can do is hold on to each other. Individually they couldn't even stand on their feet, but holding on to each other, they make it. It's also a comment on failures, on shortcomings, on being disabled. They huddle together, and through their positive attitude toward each other they summon the energy necessary to stand against the world. They conquer fear enough to finally express themselves and be what they are.8
