First two months of marriage were beautiful and lovely....and fake. We were tip-toeing around each other, trying not to upset the other, but not really relating. Once we were able to start communicating our needs and wants, we became closer. (I think that's what emotional intimacy is all about.)
Yes, many parts of that process were rough, and with a very tight budget, school, two jobs, and a health issue, I was way over my head. Baruch Hashem my husband has a head on his shoulders and knew what work marriage really takes and he guided both of us through that very rocky first year.
I am so glad it's over, but at the same time, most of my fondest memories are from that year. It's extremely intense and exhilarating and painful all at the same time. And if you pull through, speak to a mentor as often as needed, and stretch yourself in ways you didn't realize were possible, you both become better people for it. If my husband wouldn't have pulled the tow I don't know if I would have. But now that he's shown me his strength, I have the courage to push myself just a little farther.
Thank you Lorie, as always, for your delightful insights!

Looks happy, really is hard!
I'm now up to year 10 and I feel like we are starting to get somewhere, really growing, and enjoying each other. Being married is Hard Work! I remember when I was married for a few months. Someone called me and said "You know, I met so and so and she told me she loves thinking about you. You are married to the right kind of guy, so caring, and you are living in Israel and living the life you wanted to live. You must be so happy!". I remember being so confused: they were right, I was living the exact life I wanted, and married to the perfect person for me, but I was NOT so happy. It takes a lot of hard work to be happy! Keep at it, effort does bear results, but don't expect it to come naturally. The first year is just the start of the process.

What a year!!!!!
I have recently celebrated my 1st yr anniversary with my wife. Marriage is more complicated than rocket science and any other complicated stuff you can think of!!! It was so rocky. We were both not sure if we would ever make it this far. No way! Hashem helped us. We have a rabbi and we used to go to a therapist but our money ran out. Therapy is so expensive! So we had to fight by ourselves. kinda funny but still... It's very hard to understand the other side when you don't listen. I think that people should seek a lot of advice and guidance before marriage and have a rabbi available on a weekly basis. And when you don't make an issue out of every tissue, you will live better. I am so happy we are still married. I really pray that our marriage gets better everyday because this past year was sometimes extremely difficult. May we all have the patience and understanding for our spouse and learn to live with them happily and with health for many peaceful years together. Hashem - Please help us all!!!

Thank You!
Oh my gosh.... Thank you!!!! I got married six months ago and some days are amazing, but some are such a struggle. I grew up with the honeymoon and roses view of the first year of marriage, and mine is not like that. Most of the time I feel so lucky that I am married at that I found my soulmate, and sometimes I feel like, "What am I doing?" I'm pretty young to be married (19 yrs. old) and sometimes I feel like I'm messing up. I'm glad to know that it's just something everyone goes through, and that it'll only get better from here. If my life turns into the good days without the awkward ones, I'll be thrilled!!!!!!

marriage and tikum O lam
I when I anticipate food, I pray no one should go hungry. When I contemplate marriage, I pray no one should be denied it. Starvation continues. Marriage remains a right not universally shared. Celebrating blessings like food or marriage feels better to me when I take a moment to consider how lucky some are and the work that remains for us to ensure no one is denied basic rights; like eating or getting married.

Women need to get the max from their money to cover longer lifespans and the occasional career hiatus.
"But I don't have that kind of money!" you might say. These days, getting the help of a pro doesn't have to cost much. Investing in one hour with a planner could add tens of thousands to your nest egg—and women need that boost. Start here:
Know the type. Fee-only advisers charge flat rates (expect to pay about $100–$250 an hour). Some advisers charge a rate based on a percentage of assets under management (usually 1% to 2%).
Others earn commissions by selling you insurance policies and investment products. While commission-based planners are common, expect some bias and hard sells. We recommend fee-only advisers. Check NAPFA.org for some in your area.
Hold auditions. Send candidates a questionnaire like the one in The Financial Planning Workbook for Dummies by Sheryl Garrett, founder of the Garrett Planning Network. Or use the questions as a guide if you're chatting in person.
Reveal only as much as you feel comfortable: You don't have to explain or justify your situation up front, Garrett says. And you don't have to forge a life-long relationship. Basic plans and spot-checks are fine. Check 'em out. Set up "get acquainted" meetings and ask each adviser to write up a proposal, including their fees, Garrett advises.
Check for complaints with regulators—FINRA or the SEC. Then vet their accreditation. One reliable and common designation is CFP (Certified Financial Planner), which you can verify online.

BOSTON — There's always a debate among Bruins fans leading up to the announcement of the Seventh Player Award winner about who is most deserving.
Fans vote for the player they deem to have exceeded expectations over the course of the season, and they take pride in making an appropriate selection. Before the name of this year's winner even left the lips of ceremony emcee Jack Edwards prior to Thursday night's game at TD Garden, it was obvious the majority of the 17,565 on hand had their preference.
First came the "Toook" chant from the fans. Then Edwards revealed the winner, and the rookie goaltender — once projected as Boston's No. 2 behind incumbent Tim Thomas — skated to the Zamboni entrance to receive his award.

Dance To Bristol Wins Handily In Skipat Stakes
Dance To Bristol Wins Handily In Skipat Stakes
BALTIMORE, 05-17-13---Copperville Farm's Dance to Bristol tracked the speed through the far turn, then charged to the lead and won as her rider pleased in the $100,000 Skipat Stakes at Pimlico Race Course.
Six fillies and mares faced the starter in the six-furlong test contested over the fast main track. Dance to Bristol left the starting gate as the 3-5 post-time favorite under jockey Xavier Perez for trainer Ollie Figgins III. At the finish, Dance to Bristol was first, pacesetter Orange's Lil Sis had finished second and Kalambaka Queen was third.
The daughter of Speightstown was winning for the fourth straight time while capturing her fourth lifetime stakes. She completed the distance in 1:11.86 and paid $3.20.
Skipat Stakes Quotes
Ollie Figgins II (trainer, Dance to Bristol, winner)– "It set up good for us with that other filly (scratched Winning Image) out of the race. I just kind of told Xavier to keep it close and that's how it worked out. This horse is real easy to train. Even in defeat, she's run awfully hard. Xavier feels strong about this horse because she's an easy one to ride. She'll run in the Bed of Roses (G3) at Belmont (on June 15) if she comes out OK. Three weeks won't be a problem."
Xavier Perez (jockey, Dance to Bristol, winner)– "We were sitting where we wanted. The '1' and the '2' horses were fighting it out. I just wanted her to stay on and relax. At the three-eighths pole, the '2' then took back on the rail and I put pressure on my horse and she took off running. She gave me more when I tapped her left-handed down the stretch. The rail is a little deep so I wanted her on the outside. The last sixteenth, I looked back and started celebrating."

Fannie Lou Hamer, known as the lady who was "sick and tired of being sick and tired," was born October 6, 1917, in Mississippi. She was the granddaughter of slaves and her family were sharecroppers - a position not that different from slavery.
In 1962, SNCC volunteers came to town and held a voter registration meeting. When the SNCC members asked for volunteers to go to the courthouse to register to vote, Hamer was the first to raise her hand. This was a courageous and dangerous decision as many blacks attempting to vote suffered harassment, beatings, and lynchings.
In June of 1963, Hamer and other activists were on their way back from South Carolina from a literacy workshop. The group was stopped in Mississippi and jailed on false charges. Hamer and her colleagues were brutally beaten by the police. Hamer's recovery took nearly a month, yet she would not be discouraged. She became a SNCC Field Secretary and traveled around the country speaking and registering people to vote.
Hamer co-founded the Mississippi Freedom Democratic Party (MFDP or Freedom Democrats). In 1964, the MDFP challenged the all-white Mississippi delegation to the Democratic National Convention. Hamer spoke in front of the Credentials Committee in a televised proceeding that reached millions of viewers. As a result of her speech, two delegates of the MFDP were given speaking rights at the convention and the other members were seated as honorable guests.
Fannie Lou Hamer was an inspirational figure to many involved in the struggle for civil rights. She died of breast cancer on March 14, 1977 at the age of 59.

The updated White Council list under "war band special rules" says that a "White Council force may only include a single war band."
Simple question: Does that mean that the White Council cannot ally with other lists in an army?
i.e.: Can Galadriel, Lady of Light not ally as an individual character from the White Council with a Lothlorien army?
nor Elrond, Lord of the West with a Rivendell or House of Elrond army?
I would be extremely thankful if this were the case, simply to keep "Saruman the Wise" out of any army. Period. No matte how much I want to use fancy Elrond!

HILLSIDE, N.J. – On Wednesday afternoon,
the York College men's soccer team did something they had not done
since the 2004 season. Suffer a regular season loss on the
The #23 Spartans were handed their second defeat of the 2010 campaign, as Kean University dropped the Green and White 2-1 in Hillside, N.J. In a game that featured 12 total cards, the Spartans fall to 4-2 while Cougars improve to 3-2-1.
Things looked bright early on for the visitors as senior midfielder Lucas Emil put the Spartans up 1-0 in the 21st minute of play. Deadly on set pieces, Emil found the back of the net as his free kick, from just outside the Cougar penalty area, eluded Kean goalkeeper Tyler Callahan.
That would prove however, to be the only Spartan attempt that did.
The Green and White would take that 1-0 advantage into the half only to have it evaporate shortly after. Following the break, it took Kean only 6:21 to tally the equalizer. On the Cougars lone corner kick of the match, Michael Custidiano served a ball that allowed Anthony Crouchelli to knock home the tying score.
With the score deadlocked at one apiece, the Spartans desperately searched for the go-ahead tally. The Green and White rattled off nine shots over the next 19:11 including a stretch of seven straight attempts.
The Spartan efforts however would prove fruitless and it would be Kean that notched the go-ahead tally.
In the match's 81st minute, Stephen Moll found Tiago Goetzke, releasing the sophomore forward for a breakaway attempt. Goetzke did not disappoint the home crowd as he finished the opportunity, tallying what would prove to be the game-winner.
For the contest, York outshot their hosts 18-8 while also owning a significant 9-1 advantage in corner kicks.
Callahan picks up the win in the Kean net after making six stops on the day. Spartan starter Jesse Derksen is saddled with the loss as he totaled one save.
The Green and White's last regular season road loss came at Elizabethtown (2-0) on October 16, 2004. Since that time and before this afternoon's loss, the Spartans had accumulated an outstanding 43-0-6 regular season road record.
York last suffered two regular season losses during the 2005 campaign when they fell to Messiah (2-1 in OT) and Salisbury (1-0) in back-to-back contests. However, after that Salisbury loss on September 17, 2005, the Green and White went on a blistering 10-0-1 run to end the regular season. That hot streak pushed the Spartans to three more wins during the Capital Athletic Conference Tournament, allowing York to take home its first CAC Tournament championship since 1998, and into their first NCAA Tournament.
This year's squad will look to begin a similar streak when they take to the pitch on Friday, September 17. The Green and White make a return trip to New Jersey, this time taking on #12 Stevens Tech in an under-the-lights 7:00 p.m. non-conference tilt from Hoboken.

Someday, every heart-attack survivor might have a story like John Hubin's.
A few weeks after his trip to the emergency room last March, he drove himself to Abbott Northwestern Hospital early one morning and got an injection of 25 million stem cells.
The next day, he went home to Hector, Minn., and was back at work 24 hours later, feeling, he said, "like a million bucks."
As a treatment for heart disease, stem cells are still more fantasy than reality. But that's slowly changing, with the help of patients like Hubin, 60, at a special heart-disease clinic at Abbott Northwestern in Minneapolis.
The clinic, run by Dr. Tim Henry, has quietly become one of the leading stem-cell research centers in the country. In the past few years, about 400 of its patients have taken part in a raft of cutting-edge studies, all designed to use the body's own cells to repair the damage from cardiovascular disease.
What they've found hasn't always been cause for celebration.
But Henry and other scientists believe that they are edging closer to the long-awaited stem-cell revolution. There are early signs, for example, that it's helping to grow new blood vessels, which could offer new hope to people with incurable blockages.
If those studies continue to pan out, it's a potential "game changer," says Dr. Jason Alexander, a fellow researcher at the Minneapolis Heart Institute Foundation.
Henry, a cardiologist, has spent more than a decade specializing in what he calls "no option" patients — people with debilitating heart disease and no cure in sight. Medicine is helping them live longer, he said, but their quality of life is suffering. Some can barely walk a block without chest pain, and it only gets worse over time. "These people have been told that they really have no hope," he said.
With them in mind, he created what he calls the OPTIMIST Clinic, and started seeking answers in stem cells — nature's own way of rejuvenating tissue.
John Hubin didn't set out to be a human guinea pig. On March 26, Hubin, who publishes a chain of weekly newspapers, woke up feeling like someone was rubbing bricks across his rib cage. He had felt breathless a week before, but now he knew he was in trouble. Skipping the 911 call, he asked his wife to drive him to the nearest hospital, 14 miles away. ("I just figured we'll be fine," he says.)
At Renville County Hospital in Olivia, he remembers being whisked through the hallway past a room he recognized. "It's the room where my Dad died," he said, "from a heart attack."
It was no surprise that heart disease ran in Hubin's family. Several uncles on both sides of the family had died of heart attacks as well. But it wasn't until Hubin was in his late 50s, he says, that he started taking his health seriously; he quit drinking, changed his diet, lost 73 pounds.
In the hospital hallway, he heard the nurse shout as he was prepped for an emergency helicopter ride. "Seven minutes," she called out. The clock had started ticking the moment he entered the ER. They had just 90 minutes, according to hospital protocol, to get him to Abbott Northwestern, where specialists could open his blockages.
Hours later, as he was recovering in his hospital bed in Minneapolis, Hubin learned that this wasn't his first heart attack. A doctor told him there was scarring on his heart.
"He said: 'Believe me, you had more than one. I just don't know how long ago.' "
That same afternoon, Kathy Beattie, a research nurse, approached him about the stem-cell study. His heart had extensive damage; this might improve it. "I decided, you know, what the heck," said Hubin, who has four children and 13 grandchildren. Maybe, he thought, this could help his family "down the line."
Until recently, scientists thought that a damaged heart could never be repaired. But Henry, among others, is betting that stem cells can change that.
These are not, he point outs, the embryonic stem cells that caused an ethical uproar several years ago. Henry's experiments use adult stem cells, which are found in everyone's fat tissue, bone marrow and other parts of the body.
"When you cut your skin and it heals — that's stem cells," he said. "You bleed and you create new red blood cells — that's stem cells."
What Henry is trying to do, as part of a national consortium of federally funded researchers, is to see if they can "train" stem cells to grow new blood vessels or heart muscle in a way that actually helps patients.
So far, it's been a frustrating search, measured in small successes and frequent disappointments.
Many stem-cell experiments have been "resoundingly negative," according to a 2011 report in the journal Nature, titled "The Stuttering Progress of Cell Therapy for Heart Disease." When tested in patients, the effect has been "inconsistent, and overall, modest," the authors wrote. "At present, the 'perfect' stem cell remains elusive."
But Henry insists he's not discouraged. "We've learned a tremendous amount," he said.
One lesson: Not all stem cells are equal. And younger people have better stem cells than their elders. "We know that, as you get older, [the] number of stem cells and potency declines," he said. As we age, he said, "that process wears out."
That's one reason he was excited about the experiment that John Hubin was about to undergo. Instead of receiving his own [60-year-old] stem cells, these would come from a healthy young donor.
The cells arrived, packed in dry ice, by overnight courier from Capricor Inc., the California company that's sponsoring the trial at Abbott.
Hubin, covered in blue sterile draping on a gurney, is awake and chatty, though he won't remember it later.
Henry threads a syringe with the reddish fluid into his patient's wrist, and glances at an overhead monitor as it flows through a catheter into Hubin's heart.
"We're already infusing the cells, Mr. Hubin," says Beattie, the research nurse.
Hubin notices an odd sensation. "It tastes like hell," he says.
Ten minutes later, Henry announces: "We're done."
For the next year, Hubin will return for periodic checkups to see if the stem cells are doing any good.
Dr. Eduardo Marbán, director of the Cedars-Sinai Heart Institute in Los Angeles (and a founder of Capricor, the stem-cell company) calls Henry "the leading figure nationally in clinical trials of stem cells."
And this fall, Henry is heading to Cedars-Sinai to become the new chief of cardiology. He's vowed to return to Minnesota regularly to oversee his ongoing research projects. The OPTIMIST Clinic, and research, will continue with the other doctors on his team.
Marban said he and Henry share the same goal: "To make stem cells a realistic treatment option for heart disease."
Exactly when that may happen, though, is anyone's guess.
"Over-hype is part of the problem," Henry said. "Stem-cell therapy is just like any other therapy. You have to go through the hard work." And wait until the science proves them right.

Thanks for your understanding.
Chris -- 2018-04-11
Look at the shiny collection of eggcorns I uncovered by poking about in the undergrowth where the key fob was lost. The word 'fob' entered English as a small pocket for valuables, from Ger. words for pocket, before being applied to the chain attached to the watch carried in the fob. The "foist" variant is no relation.
First, if you find the electronic opener for cars to be an elegant idea, you might believe you carry a key fop.
Yes I still need help. The wireless Key Fop does NOT lock the doors.
http://www.justanswer.com/jeep/44sua-96 … h-put.html
I have visions of half a dozen U.S. border guards drawing their weapons thinking that my key fop is actually a remote switch for an explosive devise.
The way it hangs loosely from the ring, or spills from your pocket, suggests that it is a key flop.
I am having trouble programing my key flop after changing the battery. It was working before I changed the battery. I tried by holding down the unlock button then turning the key to the on postion then off two times. Then holding down the lock and unlock buttons on the key flop for 15 seconds.
http://www.justanswer.com/1g5z-wireless … nging.html
Not only did they not find the cause of the problem after keeping my car for over a week, they put over 80 miles on it and they lost my key flop. So I'm using my ma[s]ter key flop now and they're ordering a new key for me.
http://www.clublexus.com/forums/is-seco … rface.html
The emission of radio signals suggests a key throb. This one is so apt that it must be intentional.
I thought I'd hit the lock on my key throb but must have hit the wrong button and we were running late and I didn't do a double check to make sure.
http://milesandus.blogspot.ca/2010/09/n … today.html
My car tells me when my key throb battery is low.. ha. Now that's winning.
I pressed the button on the key throb to open the car and nothing happened.
http://togs.proboards.com/index.cgi?act … 965&page=1
The radio emitter that unlocks the door without the need for a solid key is perfect for the key phobic. The first hit is a first perp account indicating that she at least does not associate a key phobe with phobia. The sheer number of hits for "key phobe", however, does favour the possibility that at least someone out there makes the leap.
key phobe
(noun) : pronounced "faahb", not the same as phobe as in phobia. It is a remote control device used to lock and unlock automobile doors and activate and deactivate alarms or security systems. Used in the automobile and home alarm industry.
Ex: Sally used her key phobe to unlock her trunk to load her groceries. —jennifer l. adams, I have seen it used many times and just had a fight but could not find it in m-w
A fun one for the non-rhotic.
Q: The car has a factory remote starter with (2) key farbs. [...] Initially I thought the remote starter key farbs were all I needed.
A: My remote starter key farb looks exactly like that.
"Key flop" seems like the best eggcorn candidate.
Odd expression, "key fob." Seems to have appeared out of nowhere about 1964, probably based on some kind of analogy with a watch fob (= a watch chain) which was itself an extension from the name of the vest pocket where a watch was kept.
Hatching new language, one eggcorn at a time.
Yes, I guess key flop is the most likely eggcorn. It's my least favourite among these though. I like key fop. Or maybe phobe.
You can get pretty far afield with this one if you suspend disbelief. Some think it's a key forb, for example. It must be spell-checking that produces the following hits:
alarm..1998 model..doors with an aftermarket key phoebe
Just tried to open the doors with an aftermarket key phoebe. {...] I have tried the unlock button on the key phoebe, no joy.
http://www.justanswer.com/nissan/2sk4f- … leman.html
actually you dont need to stick the key Phoebe in the slot. Thats for when the battery in the key is dead
Or maybe they think it sings like a small bird.

'Green' Galaxy Recycles Gas, Supercharges Star Birth 36
astroengine writes "In a galaxy, far, far away (6 billion light-years away to be precise), the most efficient star 'factory' has been discovered. Called SDSSJ1506+54, this galaxy generates a huge quantity of infrared radiation, the majority being generated by a compact region at its core. NASA's Wide-field Infrared Survey Explorer first spotted the galactic oddity and Hubble confirmed the maelstrom of stellar birthing near its core. But the most amazing thing? This galaxy is the 'greenest' factory yet discovered — it uses 100 percent of all the available hydrogen to supply the protostars, leaving no waste. 'This galaxy is remarkably efficient,' said lead scientist Jim Geach of McGill University in a NASA news release. 'It's converting its gas supply into new stars at the maximum rate thought possible.'"

After one school year watching each other, leaders of the state-run Achievement School District and the countywide school system's set of Innovation Zone schools got together this summer to compare notes and figure out which low-achieving schools each would take for the 2014-2015 school year.
A dozen more Memphis schools in the countywide school system will be making the transition to the school system's Innovation Zone or the state-run Achievement School District in the 2014-2015 school year. Leaders of both efforts announced their list of schools they want for the coming school year.
(Daily News File/Lance Murphey)
Both work in schools in the bottom 5 percent of schools in the state in terms of student achievement.
"If we were trying to do this on our own and attempting to serve 68 schools independently, the time it would take to meaningfully address the needs of students in those schools would be way too long," said Malika Anderson, chief portfolio officer for the ASD. "Together we can have the scale we want to reach as many students as we possibly can."
So those leading the two sets of schools with common goals worked together on their school selections to follow school feeder patterns each have pursued in certain parts of the city.
Teachers, principals and parents of students at each of the schools were notified Tuesday, Sept. 10, of the coming changes.
The list from the Achievement School District includes nine Memphis schools, but only eight will become part of the district in its third school year of operation.
The schools are Coleman, Denver, Springhill and Westwood elementary schools; South Side and Wooddale middle schools; and two schools chosen among Carver, Fairley and Frayser high schools.
The schools will be matched in December with charter school operators. ASD leaders indicated Tuesday that for the high schools, the choice is probably between Carver and Fairley, depending on what they hear from parents and community leaders at each high school.
Frayser High School's entry into the district has been expected because of the Achievement School District's work in its first school year with elementary and middle schools that feed students into Frayser High.
The list from the Innovation Zone Schools is five: Vance and Grandview Heights middle schools and Melrose, Hamilton and Trezevant high schools.
Vance Middle School is the only one of the five not involved in a feeder system of schools in which the Innovation Zone is already working.
The schools that made the respective lists for next school year were picked based on those lagging the most in math and English language arts achievement scores, similar indications in Tennessee Value Added Assessment System scores, and areas of the city with the highest density of "priority" or failing schools.
"We hold ourselves accountable … to making sure there are double-digit gains in proficiency across subjects and grade levels and that all of our schools are level five on growth," said Brad Leon, chief innovation officer for Shelby County Schools. "It's going to be a long-term proposition, but if we are doing that year on year, they are going to get the promise of public education."
The Innovation Zone schools have more autonomy, longer school days and more intensive intervention than conventional public schools in Shelby County. But they are considered part of the countywide school system.
The Achievement School District is a separate school district whose superintendent is appointed by the Tennessee governor.
Both of the districts, which involve rehiring teachers and school administrators and giving them greater autonomy, will also venture next school year into high schools for the first time.
"It's a whole other world," Anderson said of the move into grades nine to 12. "Once a student reaches high school, if they've been in an underperforming school for most of their career, they are significantly further behind. For our ninth-graders this year, they are starting four and five years below grade level. … We have to be prepared to provide more intensive intervention to be able to bring them up faster."
Leon agreed about the greater challenges than with elementary and middle school students.
"We're going to make sure that we build a team that has exceptionally high expectations and that believes in the inherent greatness of our kids to achieve at the absolutely maximum level," he said.
The ASD holds meetings with parents in its nine schools Monday and Tuesday evenings. Innovation Zone leaders also plan to meet with parents and community leaders from the schools they have selected.
Sharon Griffin, Innovation Zone regional superintendent, expects the meetings involving the high schools will draw larger numbers and lots of questions.
"I think a lot of the confusion is behind 'why': 'Why was I selected?' When you answer that 'why,' the community partnerships begin to come," she said. "It hasn't been as hard as I think it could be once we explain why it happened."

AMSTERDAM — You could almost hear Mike Kelley laughing. As journalists entered the Stedelijk Museum's new so-called bathtub building to hear director Ann Goldstein introduce a retrospective of Kelley's work, they were greeted by the mellifluous tones of the late Andy Williams from invisible speakers: "It's the most wonderful time of the year, with the kids jingle belling and everyone telling you 'Be of good cheer.' It's the most wonderful time of the year ..."
Surely Kelley, who took his own life in January, would have appreciated the happenstance irony. Or was this all part of his vision for the exhibition — a wry poke at the Christmas holidays, pop music, American culture and religion, our best and worst expectations, maybe even himself?
Mike Kelley: An article in the Dec. 26 Calendar section about the new retrospective of work by Los Angeles artist Mike Kelley at Amsterdam's Stedelijk Museum said that the exhibition covered nearly 2,000 square feet on two floors of the museum's Benthem Crouwel wing. The exhibition covers nearly 20,000 square feet. —
After all, the L.A. artist had a role in planning the show. It's been in the works since 2006, when former Stedelijk director Gijs van Tuyl conceived of it to reopen the museum — shuttered for much of the decade for construction of a new wing designed by the Amsterdam firm Benthem Crouwel.

A team of researchers at University of California Davis has found that mothers who had a fever at some point during their pregnancy were 2.1 to 2.5 times more likely to have a child with autism or developmental delay than were mothers of typically developing children – but that there was no increased risk in cases where the mother took measures to lower the fever.
"Our study provides strong evidence that controlling fevers while pregnant may be effective in modifying the risk of having a child with autism or developmental delay," says lead author Ousseny Zerbo, PhD. "We recommend that pregnant women who develop fever take anti-pyretic [fever-lowering] medications and seek medical attention if their fever persists."
Published May 5 by the Journal of Autism and Developmental Disorders, their study(1) is believed to be the first to consider how fever from any cause, including the flu, and its treatment during pregnancy could affect the likelihood of having a child with autism or developmental delay.
The results are based on data from a large, case-control investigation known as the Childhood Autism Risk from Genetics and the Environment (CHARGE) Study.
Another recent study based on CHARGE data found that mothers who were obese or diabetic had a higher likelihood of having children with autism.
Co-author Irva Hertz-Picciotto, PhD, MPH, a UC Davis professor and principal investigator of CHARGE, points out that:
• Fever is produced by acute inflammation – the short-term, natural immune system reaction to infection or injury,
• And chronic inflammation, which no longer serves a beneficial purpose and can damage healthy tissue, may be present in mothers with metabolic abnormalities like diabetes and obesity.
"Since an inflammatory state in the body accompanies obesity and diabetes as well as fever," says Dr. Hertz-Picciotto, "the natural question is: Could inflammatory factors play a role in autism?"
"We definitely think more research is necessary to pinpoint the ways that inflammation could alter brain development," she adds, because when people are infected by bacteria or viruses, the body generally reacts by mounting a healing response that involves the release of pro-inflammatory cytokines from white blood cells into the bloodstream.
And importantly, some cytokines are able to cross the placenta, so therefore could reach the fetal central nervous system, potentially altering levels of neurotransmitters and brain development.
CHARGE includes an ethnically diverse population of children aged 2 to 5 years born in California and living in Northern California. The current study included 538 children with autism, 163 children with developmental delay but not autism, and 421 typically developing children whose mothers answered standardized questionnaires about whether they had the flu and/or fever during pregnancy and if they took medications to treat their illnesses.
The results showed that:
• Flu during pregnancy was not associated with greater risks of having a child with autism or developmental delay.
• Fever from any cause during pregnancy, however, was far more likely to be reported by mothers of children with autism (2.12 times higher odds) or developmental delay (2.5 times higher odds), as compared with mothers of children who were developing typically.
• For children of mothers who took anti-fever medication, the risk of autism was not different from the risk in children whose mothers reported no fever.
According to Dr. Hertz-Picciotto, results based on CHARGE data are noteworthy because of the study's large population-based sample and detailed information on participants.
Other CHARGE evaluations have found that taking prenatal vitamins prior to and during the first month of pregnancy may help prevent autism, and that living near a freeway or in areas with high regional air pollution is associated with higher risk of autism in children.
"CHARGE has obtained a wealth of environmental, demographic and medical information on young children and their parents and provides a solid basis for a variety of epidemiologic studies," Dr. Hertz-Picciotto says. "Those studies are helping us find ways to protect childhood neurodevelopment."

Lyon are being forced to play a waiting game over the future of Chelsea and Liverpool striker target Bafetimbi Gomis.
The 27-year-old has helped fire his club to second in the Ligue 1 table this term, but is out of contract at the Stade Gerland at the end of the season.
And, if the former Saint-Etienne starlet does not pen a new deal with Les Gones in the coming days, then he can expect to be on his way before the end of the month.
"Lyon do not want a player of such quality to become a free agent in six months," chairman Jean-Michel Aulas told L'Equipe.
"The objective is either to prolong his contract or transfer him out."
Speculation has linked the French international with a move to the Premier League, with both the Blues and Reds reported to be keen on the player.
And, with just over a week left in the transfer window, Aulas appears to be getting frustrated at the situation, having predicted a quick resolution just under a fortnight ago.
"Of course, all the talk is about him moving to England, but there are other European clubs interested in him too. I'm sure things will begin to accelerate in the next couple of weeks and we expect things to be sorted soon," he was quoted as saying by Sky Sports.
Chelsea interim manager Rafa Benitez has already made one addition in the transfer window, with Demba Ba moving to Stamford Bridge from Newcastle United.
However, the west London outfit are far from flush in the position, with mis-firing Spaniard Fernando Torres the only other senior option available at Stamford Bridge.
Gomis would add an extra dimension to the Chelsea attack if they were to bring him to west London, although competition is likely to be fierce for the signature.
Liverpool, meanwhile, have also made a signing in the position this January, with Daniel Sturridge arriving at Anfield.
But, much like the Blues, manager Brendan Rodgers is short of senior options, with Luis Suarez the only other out-and-out striker currently available on Merseyside.
Were Liverpool to sign Gomis, he'd also add to their side in a number of ways, but it appears the ball is currently in the player's court as he decides on his Ligue 1 future.

No kids, one kid, four kids: There's no end to the debate over why people decide on a certain number.
But is one family configuration more scrutinized than another? Lauren Sandler thinks so.
She delves into the myths and misconceptions about singletons in a new book, "One and Only." And she feels strongly about the subject, as a journalist and an only child raising an only child with her photographer husband, who's one of two.
The choice of one, the Brooklyn mom said, often is demonized and the pull to have more is strong at times. Based on scores of interviews with academics and only children, the book wasn't intended as a memoir, though Sandler's family is woven throughout.
While she's content and confident that her 5-year-old daughter is doing great, Sandler hasn't escaped the conflict. Her response when her husband suggests he get a vasectomy drives home the turmoil.
"I burst into tears, run up to our bedroom, and throw myself onto the pillows like a heartsick teenager," she writes.
"Despite all the rational information that supports my reluctance to have another kid, all the research demonstrating that only children are fine, all the data suggesting the additional sacrifices another kid would require, making the choice not to have another child is still fraught with conflict. It's an emotional struggle that, it turns out, no set of numbers and analysis can erase."
A conversation with Lauren Sandler:
AP: How has research on raising only children changed in recent years?
Sandler: I don't think it's really changed. What keeps happening is people keep retesting, saying, "Oh, how could it possibly be true that all of these studies from all of these years ago have said that only children are just fine." And so they retest and then they find out, "Oh yeah, only children are fine."
AP: So where does the notion come from that only children are lonely, selfish and maladjusted?
Sandler: I've been puzzling over this for three years, and the best I can come up with is this sort of three-pronged answer.
No. 1, it was a story that needed to develop in an evolutionary biology sense, that in order to thrive as a species we had to have more of us, so that was important. And then we were an agrarian society, and in an agrarian society children were a workforce and a life insurance policy, and if you wanted your family to thrive you needed to have a bigger one.
But then the Industrial Revolution came around, then the women's movement came around. We didn't really come to terms with what women's freedom looks like, and we didn't really come to terms with how much society had changed, and so we kept telling this story. I've talked to researchers who think that it's a story that people need to tell because having more kids is hard and you need to feel like there's a reason behind it.
AP: What drives that nagging pull to have more?
Sandler: I think that as parents we want our kids to be happy and to thrive. We want our families to be happy, and we have society telling us if you have one kid, your kid's going to be really unhappy. You're going to have a miserable misfit of a child, but if you give your child a sibling you will have a happy family.
The data tells us that most people have their first child for themselves and the second child for the benefit of their first. I feel like if you want two kids, three kids, five kids, no kids, great. Do what your heart tells you but don't do what society is whispering in your ear, especially when it's based on such fallacy.

DURHAM, N.C. – Duke redshirt senior offensive guard Laken Tomlinson was named to the 2014 Outland Trophy watch list as one of the top interior linemen entering the 2014 season.
Tomlinson, a 6-3, 320-pound native of Chicago, Ill., was an All-ACC first team pick by the league's head coaches in 2013 after anchoring a Duke offense that established school single-season records for total first downs (298), offensive yards (5,966) and points (459). Tomlinson, who was also named a preseason All-America second team selection by Athlon Sports and Phil Steele, is entering his fourth season as Duke's starter at right guard.
Tomlinson has started 39 consecutive games and has played 3,032 career snaps the second most among any active offensive lineman in the country. In 2013, he was named to the ESPN.com All-Bowl Team for his performance in the Chick-fil-A Bowl in which Duke's offense posted 48 points in a 52-48 loss to No. 21 Texas A&M. Duke surrendered the second fewest sacks per pass attempt in the ACC this past season.
The Outland Trophy winner is chosen from three finalists who are part of the FWAA All-America Team. The FWAA All-America Committee, after voting input from the entire membership, selects the 26-man first team and eventually the Outland finalists. Committee members, then by individual ballot, select the winner. Only interior linemen on offense or defense are eligible for the award; ends are not eligible.
The list will be trimmed to six or seven semifinalists on Nov. 20. Four days later, three Outland Trophy finalists will be named by the FWAA. The winner of the 69th Outland Trophy, named after the late John Outland, an All-America lineman at Penn at the turn of the 20th century, will be announced on ESPN on The Home Depot College Football Awards on Dec. 11 from Disney's Boardwalk in Lake Buena Vista, Fla. Pittsburgh defensive tackle Aaron Donald won the award last season.

Mademoiselle Javel3 Share Tweet
First featured in our Lomography Questionnaire, Mademoiselle Javel shares her pictures taken with the Fisheye Camera. A photographer and videographer by trade, Mademoiselle Javel shares some of her mind-toying images.
REAL NAME Mademoiselle Javel
CITY Paris
COUNTRY France
Tell the community a little bit about yourself? What do you do for fun and is it the same thing you do for a living?
I am a photographer and video maker since 8 years now. I am working on my first short movie too. I don't really know what fun is, I picture things because I can't do anything else.
What got you into photography at the first place?
My sister. I was 17, she was 13 and together we built our unique place of fantasies. We shared the same taste for burlesque movies, mad princesses, brides with a whip and bloody teenagers. Our first project was inspired by the Queen of Hearts in Alice in Wonderland, the second one by Cabaret, the Bob Fosse's film.
What would you say is the feel or mood you want to convey with your photographs and videos?
A disturbing feeling. You know that something goes wrong but you don't know what. In Chuck Palaniuk's Fight Club, it says "The little scratch on the roof of your mouth that would heal if only you could stop tonguing it. But you can't." My work always takes place before the disaster.
Where do you get inspiration for your work?
From headaches.
Most of the images on your site are portraits, what advice can you give our readers for making portrait photographs?
To love strong stories. You can't make a portrait without a serious background. And it is not that easy, most of the people have nothing to say.
How did you like shooting with the Fisheye camera and what were people´s reactions to the camera?
It was pretty new as I never shot with this kind of lense. I had to get myself used to the frame, to be surprised, to let go. People were amused because the camera looks friendly and approachable. The camera is between the model and you. Somehow, it plays an important part in this relationship.
The strangest, funniest, or hands-down greatest photographic/ Lomographic encounter that you have ever had.
With the Lomo, I reshoot one of my film. I never did that before and it has created an incredible overprint effect. Ghost-ish and weird. I love it.
What's your favorite photo you took with the Fisheye and why?
The one with the Virgin statue and the red lips. Awkward. Just like a saint seeing the Holy Mother and paying respects with a lustfull mouth.
If your photos shown here could have a soundtrack of three songs, what would they be (song title & artist please).
1 The 4th of July – Soundgarden
2 A long slow goodbye – The Queens of the Stone Age
3 PDA – Interpol
Your advice to future Fisheye shooters.
Take it everywhere. Do not sleep. Even in the car. Keep your eyes wide open.
Fisheye No. 2 has a 170-degree wide angle view and stunning barrel distortion. Now with a hotshoe and multiple and long exposure capabilities, the world's greatest compact Fisheye camera is now more amazing than you ever thought possible! Available in different colours and special designs.

Saratoga All Access: 12th annual Travers Celebration [02:59]
The 12th annual Travers Celebration -- the premier evening affair at Saratoga Race Course -- returned once again to celebrate the arrival of the 143rd edition of the mid-summer derby on Thursday, August 23. The official party of the Grade 1, $1 million Travers, the Travers Celebration supports the Backstretch Employee Service Team, the Times Union Hope Fund and its newest beneficiary, the Permanently Disabled Jockeys Fund. The elaborate event featured exquisite food stations and beverage offerings, a live and silent auction, and dancing to live music from the New York Players. Event attendees also had the opportunity to have their photo taken with the official trophy of the Travers. Recently appraised at $425000, the 18k gold permanent trophy of Travers designed by Tiffany & Co. is inscribed with all past winners' names. The Travers Celebration has raised more than $1.1 million for non-profit organizations in the thoroughbred industry and throughout the greater Capital Region since its inception over a decade ago. The 2012 Travers Celebration is co-chaired by Mr. George R. Hearst III, Publisher and CEO of the Times Union newspaper; and Mrs. Sharon Dominguez, wife of Ramon Dominguez, winner of the 2011 and 2012 Eclipse Award for Outstanding Jockey. The 2012 Travers Celebration is sponsored by Macy's, Ketel One Vodka, NEWS 10, the Times Union and The New York Racing Association, Inc.

1. magnetic pole points toward the sun for large period of time (years) = We go into an ice age
2. magnetic pole points away from the sun for large period of time (years) = earth magnetic field gets pummeled constantly (think this solar flare) which would cause the aurora borealis to be seen south (in japan and even the caribbean) and wreck land based electricity lines and knock out of commision most of the satellites in orbit. Over the years I think it would accelerate global warming, warming the seas to 40º C and creating another mass extinction.
I have not played the VN, but I think the sun exploding is a feint for other plot driven events.

Magnetic monopoles are particles, and have never been observed by multiple independent observers. They are a purely theoretical existence.
As highly ionizing particles, they would be preferable over lower ionizing particles in a particle accelerator. The sun is, in essence, a particle accelerator.
Throw in some sci-fi to drastically increase the effect of one ionizing particle over another, and it's not a big leap to see where they may be going in regards to the sun.

I wonder how exactly you can confirm the existence of monopoles on the sun.
They are supposed to be so elusive particles that I doubt you could determine their existence from so far away.
It would make more sense if those particles were found after they reached the earth. Even if from afar they noticed some strange behavior in the sun that is compatible with the scenario of monopoles being there, that still wouldn't be absolutely conclusive evidence, I think.
I am also wondering why they chose november 2000 as the time where they found those monopoles. The article that I linked in my previous post describe events that happened in that very year but from march to may.
Then the north and south pole flipped on 15 February 2001
November 2000 is in the middle, but nothing strange happened at that time, to my knowledge.
By the way apparently this reversal happens every 11 years or so, so for a long time it was predicted that the next would happen in 2012. More recent observations however seem to agree that it will be a little late and that it will happen in 2013.

It may seem nonsensical, but the north/south pole of a planetary body or stellar object have nothing to do with magnetic monopoles, though the similarity in terms can make it an easy mistake to make.
And, because this is supposed to be the same world as that of Steins;Gate, it should be noted that some have theorized that the existence of magnetic monopoles could have rather dramatic effects on the relationship between spacetime and the worldline.

It's 2012! There's a mega solar flare coming right at us! We're DOOOOOOOOMED! D:
Joking aside, I'm pleased with how the story unfolds. Not too fast, not too slow.
This show is a definite keeper, and I can't wait for the next episode.
EDIT: Frau sounds like a mix between Harumi Kiyama from Railgun and Daru.

Spoiler for 6:
The story is getting more interesting and Kai sure is.... interesting in a way that she is brave and enter and investigate things that are normally scary and dangerous but he also loose interest fast. If he finds no further clue. he lost motivation -_- more problem for Kai in the next episode.

Not as interesting as last week's episode, but still good.
I didn't expect Frau and Jun to join in the same episode. All members of the club are now assembled. Frau's condition for helping Subaru was pretty funny... that girl's a total pervert
The drama between Subaru and his father is indeed pretty cliché, but I'm welcoming any kind of development Subaru can get. He had been little more than a joke character up until that point.

I did not have a good reaction to this episode. The last three minutes killed everything I liked about it with one of the most pathetic "father is an asshole" moments I have ever seen. It's going to take a while for R;N to get in my good graces at this rate.

I want more Frau..... Her BL fantasies are rather entertaining. Guess it was Jun's imagination though.
The sci-fi elements of Robotics;Notes aren't as pleasing to me so far. It's hard to describe what about them doesn't sit well. A related reason is that we've been teased with a variety of surface clues that are greatly disjointed; having a hard time piecing anything together at this point. That boat scene begs explanation.
I'll keep watching for now. Just gotta wait till the appetizers stop serving.

The music recorded in the tape alongside the device that sends signals to space really reminds me Close Encounters of the Third Kind
I wonder if there will really be aliens in this story, as I speculated before. The evidence so far seems to suggest so, but it might turn out to be something else.
On an unrelated note I really like Furugoori Kona, she's the best character in this anime so far for me. I wish she had more screentime.
Anyway, after six episodes I must say that I find that this story lacks something. While there's obviously a lot going on, and there are quite a lot of mysteries that have been hinted, somehow I don't feel involved. It's probably something with the general atmosphere, the various characters are a bit disjonted and I don't quite feel their emotions enough to empathize with their situation.
The mystery based on (pseudo)scientific facts it's also a bit too obscure to work succesfully as time travel did with Steins;Gate. I never really heard of monopoles before, and the only thing I can do is to trust that if you find them on the sun it's "bad". I have no idea of what could have caused them nor what can be done about them. So in the end there isn't much I can discuss about.
It's also very hard to understand how that can be connected to a space agency, a mysterious incident on a ship, a corporation specialized in robotics, and so on.
This is probably supposed to keep me interested in the story, but it doesn't work that well. A mystery should be obscure enough to not be easily understood, but at the same time it might be clear enough to let people imagine the possible solutions.
I'll keep watching this anime because it's not like it's bad or anything, but it's just not particularly good either. I'll see if it gets better, there's a lot of episodes still.

Nice to have the club fully assembled. Everyone has their own quirks, and they blend together fairly well, I think. I don't think Kai will notice, but I find it interesting that two members of the club only exist through iPads. Airi (so she's not a member, but close enough) and Frau, who may as well exist only through one, though I suspect she'll go outside before the series is over. The cheetah gag made me love Junna even more - Sora Tokui has a better range than I thought, though I still hear a bit of the old Nero voice in there. She's kind of like Ai Nonaka in that regard. A bit of drama at the end, sure - yet, I think this will only motivate Subaru more, once Akiho or somebody speechifies him out of it.
As for the other sci-fi elements, I wonder how long it's going to be before Kai informs the others of what's going on. A plot of this scale is bound to bleed over into the world tournament before long. Glad to see Aki making some progress on GunBuild, too. Of course the first things she wants are a star and a scarf - and maybe a rocket punch.

Plantation Homes' inviting new model at Aliana, a planned community in Richmond, demonstrates the value of meticulous artisanship when it comes to creating a warm and comfortable home.
The model home, located at 11206 Mossrigg Court, is the builder's spacious Hooks VI design — a four-bedroom, 3,348-square-foot masterpiece showcasing Plantation's appealing construction options and lavish upgrades. The home features four bedrooms and three baths, as well as Plantation Homes' award-winning architectural features such as art niches, arched doorways and raised ceilings.
An impressive brick and stone exterior opens to a dramatic, tiled entryway, offering a first glimpse of the elegant rooms beyond. On one side, a pleasant study sports classic crown molding and oversized windows. Opposite, a formal dining area leads through the butler's pantry into a stunning kitchen.
As functional as it is beautiful, the kitchen features state-of-the-art appliances, durable granite countertops and decorative pendant light fixtures above an impressive island workstation. The island is sure to become the center of the home, providing enough space for kids to do their homework while the chef prepares dinner. On the weekends, a sunny breakfast nook becomes a planning station for the day's adventures.
The kitchen and breakfast area open to a spacious living room, punctuated by an imposing two-story, wood-burning fireplace and a wall of windows looking out toward the beautifully landscaped yard. Volume ceilings and high windows add an airy ambiance to the sun-drenched room.
The master suite boasts an owner's retreat with a stunning bay window. Adding a comfortable chair near the window creates a peaceful sitting area, where the homeowner can curl up with a good book before lights out. The oversized master bath features his-and-her vanities, tile floors, a large garden tub for soaking and a glassed-in shower. A second bedroom on the first floor can flex into an additional master suite, perfect for visiting relatives.
While the parents relax, the kids can play upstairs, where a large game room houses a pool table, comfortable chairs and a counter for playing checkers or enjoying a slice of game day pizza. The attached media room comes pre-wired for surround-sound.
Other features of this beautiful home include a wine room, a covered patio with an outdoor kitchen, mudroom and large utility room.
Plantation Homes is offering the Hooks VI and 12 other energy-efficient designs in Aliana's newly opened section. All homes can be customized to fit the needs, budgets and imaginations of prospective homeowners. Prices start from the $350,000s.
Residents of the 2,000-acre community enjoy resort-style amenities including the newly designed pool, which includes a children's splash park, complete with slides, waterfalls and fountains and a lazy river, plus a junior Olympic-size pool with lane markers for competitive swimmers.
Aliana is located between the Grand Parkway and FM 1464, just west of Sugar Land, near major employment centers and premium shopping destinations. Young residents attend acclaimed schools in the award-winning Fort Bend Independent School District.

The street is pretty narrow (exactly two cars wide), and so people parking out on the street cause lots of problems for others trying to make it through. One neighbor has someone come almost every weekend to visit them. It's a huge pickup and they park it right next to our driveway. They don't technically block our driveway, but because of how the pickup is angled, backing out from our driveway is a nightmare. The pickup is left there for most of the weekend, and just drives me nuts!
Bodies that don't co-operate, or, The Law Of Sod.I had an ambulatory ECG done last week to try and get to the bottom of some palpitations I've been having.I had the thing on for 2 days. Did it do anything while I was hooked up to it? Nooooo. Of course not. Not a thing happened, except that I developed a nice rash from the adhesive on the pads.Machine went back to the hospital yesterday. This morning my heart's jumping around like the cast of Riverdance.Why? Why does this happen?!
