You have had a baby and you might be wondering how to get your belly back to it's former self. The good news is that you can get your stomach back!
5-15 pounds usually goes within the first four to six weeks (based on a 30 pound weight gain). The 5-15 pounds comes from: baby, amniotic fluid, placenta, blood volume, breast tissue, fat storage, urination and the uterus involution. With all of this in mind, notice how hard the body is working in the first few weeks postpartum, it is a super delicate time!
To support the pregnant body's growing frontside, certain muscle groups must take on more pressure and strain. It can lead to long term back pain, rounding of the upper back and distended belly post-baby. To compensate for all of these postural changes, the exercise routine must follow suit!
So why does the distended belly stick around? This "pooch" is not just from being pregnant. The biggest reason a distended belly remains is due to an underused or under-activated core muscle, the transverse abdominis.
We are used to working our six-pack muscle (the rectus abdominis). For example, a crunch mainly works your rectus abs. But we are going to teach you how to active your innermost core muscles. In fact, I recommend you don't waste your time on another crunch until you know how to activate these innermost core muscles!
The transverse abdominis – one of the most important core muscles – goes unnoticed in traditional ab exercises. If you have had a baby, knowing what exercises you can do for the transverse abdominis is really important! We will get into some transverse abdominis exercises and workouts in a sec, but first let's cover what we are working with!
First, we will cover a common condition known as diastasis recti (abdominal separation).
Second, we will go over a smidge of anatomy…we gotta know what we are working with girls!
Third, I will show you exercises on contracting the transverse abdominis, pelvic floor and diaphragm. Plus, incorporating it into exercise.
Believe it or not, research has shown that at least 45% of moms have an abdominal separation (or diastasis recti) six months postpartum. Most don't even know that it's there until they experience a weak core, a belly they don't like (i.e. the mommy tummy, muffin top or any other ugly name we call it!) and low back pain. Use this self-test. Then follow our Diastasis Recti Program.
A distended belly will be present several weeks following birth as everything falls back in place. A distended belly can also be due to an under cued transverse abdominis. A distended belly can also be due to poor nutrition and/ or intra-abdominal fat.
Distended Belly ≠ Diastasis Recti
Flat Belly ≠ No Diastasis Recti
When performing a crunch the usual focus is on the rectus abdominis, which is great, but it will not flatten your belly. The TVA or TA (transverse abdominis) is what will help you flatten your belly. The TA is a thick layer of muscle that runs from hip to hip. The transverse abdominal muscle wraps around the torso from front to back and the muscle fibers of the TA run horizontally, similar to a corset or a weight belt.
To get your body back it is important you work your core from the inside. Perform this four-minute workout. I am going to teach you how to activate the TA (transverse abdominis), PF (pelvic floor) and diaphragm. These ab exercises are safe for an abdominal separation – diastasis recti.
Setup: Begin lying on your back with your knees bent, feet resting on the floor, and your fingers resting on your stomach just inside your hip bones.
Tighten your abdominals, drawing your belly button in towards your spine. You should feel your muscle contract under your fingers. Hold this position, then relax and repeat. If this exercise is brand new to you, keep your back flat against the floor, without titling your pelvis, and breath throughout the exercise. Do this exercise frequently throughout the day to train your brain to contract the TA in functional positions (lifting your child, unloading laundry, driving in the car, etc.) Perform for 30-60 seconds.
Setup: Begin lying on your side with your knees bent, feet resting on the floor, and the fingers of your top hand resting on your stomach – just inside your hip bone.
Tighten your abdominals, drawing your belly button in towards your spine. You should feel your muscle contract under your fingers. Hold this position, then relax and repeat. Breathe. Perform for 30-60 seconds.
Setup: Lie on your back with your knees bent and feet resting flat on the floor.
Tighten your abdominals. Without letting your hip bones move, slowly lower one knee out towards the floor – only as far as you can without your pelvis moving. Slowly return to starting position. Alternate with other leg, repeat. Brace your core so your pelvis is stationary. Perform for 30-60 seconds.
Setup: Begin lying on your back with both legs bent and your feet resting on the ground.
Tighten your abdominals. This will engage your deep core muscles to lift your hips off the ground into a bridge, hold. Lower by rolling down one vertebrae at a time, then repeat. Your body should be in a straight line at the top of the movement. Keep your hips level throughout the exercise. Perform for 30-60 seconds.

The character I choose to analysis is from "Good Country People" the character name is Hulga better known Joy. The story introduces us to well-educated a woman who was thirty-two years old. The age of ten, Joy lost one of her legs in a hunting accident, and from that point on became a depressed realist. At the age of twenty one, Joy moved out of the house, went to college, and legally changed her name to Hulga .Hulga most likely changes her name to spite her mother, because Joy is such a beautiful name and Hulga is such an ugly one. This woman has an artificial leg which was shot off in a hunting accident when she was ten. This exemplifies the attitude of Hulga, the protagonist in the story. Hulga is a woman who has been dealt a tough hand in life. Joy arrived at Hulga first purely on the basis of its ugly sound and then the full genius of its fitness had struck her. Joy had made it plain that if it had not been for this heart condition, she would be far from these red hills and good country people. Hulga looked at young men as if she could smell their stupidity. When Joy takes her artificial limb off, she feels entirely dependent on Manly Pointer. The character made unjust choices in the story by lying to the bible salesman's about her age and then trusting someone she barely knows, the decision was unwise by giving someone her leg without actually thinking. She should have known that the bible salesman was a liar once he pulls out the suite case and it did not have bible in it. Also she was confused from the start because she is an achiest, by not believe in God why would you decided to let a bible salesman's into your house.

Last week, I asked all sorts of Indian food lovers, cooks and chefs to chat about the word 'curry'. For some, it gets the pulse racing in anticipation; for others, it gets the blood boiling in anger. In almost all cases, mere mention of the term ignites and invites strong and diverse opinions – all aired here.
However determined people might be to avoid 'curry' (just the word, of course – no-one showed the slightest inclination to pass up any type of Indian food!), all were able to determine their own personal definition of the type of items 'curry' called to mind. I then pleaded with them to relinquish a recipe from their own repertoire that illustrated their ideas.
So this, my ever-hungry readers, is the deliciously diverse 'curry collection' that my curiosity created…
Gautham Karthik
The Tamil chef at Cork cafe, Iyer's, says, "A seppankizhangu (taro root) kari would be one of my all-time favourites. The starchy root's texture lends itself well to spicing and it benefits from proper marinating techniques. I prefer it dry – rather than the 'wet' dish 'curry' might typically denote -with plenty of spices, cooked in oil at high heat to crisp up the edges until almost biscuit-like."
Dan Toombs
Unsurprisingly given his moniker, Indian food blogger 'The Curry Guy' Dan is a fan of the word; although he feels that where many dishes like rogan josh are concerned, it's no longer needed as an additional explanation in order for diners to decode the dish description. His current favourite 'curry' is a lamb rogan josh shared with him by Annayu's chef, Madhup Sinha.

Asma Khan
Darjeeling Express's founder says, "There is a dish which we call 'yellow curry' in my house – my Bihari grandmother used to make it and I can only presume it was a dish she learnt from her home. The chicken dish is yellow in colour and I've never encountered it outside my family. It has very unusual and distinctive spicing and is the only dish I know that has no name except 'curry'! As a third generation cook of this dish, maybe I should think of an interesting name for it – or maybe let it continue on to the next generation as 'yellow curry'!"
Anjali Pathak
The food writer and chef says, "One recipe that always reminds me of home was my mum's masala chicken. My recipe is slightly different, but every time I cook it, I can't help but smile; thinking of the good times we shared tucking into my mum's masala chicken over the family dinner table."

Mehrunnisa Yusuf
The founder of food and recipe blog Come Con Ella says, "My definition of 'curry' has evolved into 'a mixed spice of South Asian inspirations'. I would use this to season something made with coconut milk, something akin to the autumnal chickpea, spinach and coconut curry I featured on my blog."

Cyrus Todiwala
Chef Cyrus finds the term 'curry' contentious to say the least, but to this coastal Indian, a dish so-called must involve coconut. The chef's Leeli kolmi ni curry fits what he feels counts as 'curry' – literally, green prawns with spicy gravy. The recipe yields a sort of Indianised version of the classic Thai green curry; featuring plump prawns swimming an aromatic, fresh, fiery coconut milk-based sauce.

Kalyan Karmakar
The 'Finely Chopped' food blogger and Mumbai-based Bengali says, "I would say that the Bengali 'murgir jhol' (chicken curry) that is traditionally made in households on Sunday afternoons would be closest to my idea of 'curry'; along with machhed jhol, the thin 'curry' made with the sweetwater fish Bengalis so relish."

Kavita Favelle
The food writer and blogger at 'KaveyEats' says, "The dish that jumps to mind when the word 'curry' is used without any other qualifier is my mum's chicken curry, a simple North Indian tomato-based curry with delicious spicing and not too much chilli heat. This recipe is one of the reasons that my mother's recipe site, Mamta's Kitchen, came into being, as my sister and I both missed it so much when we left home."

Ashish Bhatia
Turban Street Cafe's head chef says, "I think that my recipe for chicken cooked with yogurt and whole spices is a good portrayal of a simple, 'curry'-like dish. Originating in India's roadside diners or 'dhabas', it demonstrates the non-complex, rustic approach to cooking a great 'curry' without exotic ingredients or techniques. Modest and wholesome yet full of flavour. A perfect blueprint for an immaculate 'curry', and, as a child, my first introduction to the 'curries' of India."

Perzen Patel
The Bawi Bride says, "There are two very popular Parsi 'curries'; unimaginatively called 'red' and 'green' curry. Of the two, the red is my favourite. I follow the recipe my maternal grandmother gave me. Back when she was alive this was my favourite dish and she'd make it for me every Saturday despite the protests of other family members who'd rather have something else!"

Danny Kingston
Food blogger 'Food Urchin' says, "I would say that the simple mutton curry that I put on my blog using fresh spices from a dabba supplied to me by Sanjay at Spice Kitchen fits my definition of 'curry' fairly closely. It certainly feels more definitive than pouring a sauce straight from a jar. The only shame is that it does look rather 'brown'…"
Click here for Danny's recipe for Mutton curry
Euan Sey
The Brighton restaurateur says,"My Curry Leaf Cafe co-owner and chef Kanthi's 'gutti vankaya koora' is definitely one of the dishes that defines 'curry' for me. This dish comprises baby aubergines that are stuffed with coconut, coriander, chilli and sesame, then simmered in an onion, coconut and tamarind sauce. The recipe originates from the Southern state of Andhra Pradesh, and was a hit at Diwali. It's an absolute knockout."
Kanthi Thamma's Gutti vankaya koora
Stuffed baby aubergine curry
Serves: 4
For the stuffing:
- 25 ml oil
- 1 tbsp cumin seeds
- 2 medium green chillies
- 20g ginger, minced
- 4-5 garlic cloves, minced
- 25g desiccated coconut
- 1 large onion, sliced
- 20g jaggery/palm sugar/brown sugar
- 2 tbsp tamarind pulp
- 1 tsp ground coriander
- ½ a bunch of chopped coriander
- salt, to taste
- 8 baby aubergines, slit into quarters with stalks intact
For the sauce:
- 100ml vegetable oil
- 1 tsp mustard seeds
- 1 sprig fresh curry leaves, washed
- 1 tsp fenugreek seeds
- 2 green chillies, slit lengthwise
- 25g ginger, Julienned
- 2 medium red onions, sliced
- 200g tomatoes, chopped
- 1 tsp ground coriander
- salt, to taste
- 20 gm jaggery/brown sugar/ palm sugar
- 50ml tamarind pulp
For the stuffing, heat half the oil in a pan set over medium-high heat, then add the cumin seeds, chillies, ginger, garlic, and coconut and sauté for 1 minute. Then add the onions and sauté for about 5 minutes until they start caramelising.
Remove the pan from the heat, cool, and then whizz to a coarse paste in a blender with jaggery, tamarind pulp, ground coriander, fresh coriander, and salt to taste.
Stuff the slit aubergines with this mix, then heat the remaining oil in a pan set over a medium heat, gently add the stuffed aubergines and cook for about 5 minutes, constantly turning them until they soften.
For the sauce, heat the oil in a pan set over medium-high heat, then add the mustard seeds, curry leaves, and fenugreek seeds and toss them for a few seconds.
Add the green chillies, ginger and onions and continue to cook until onions turn golden-brown. Lower the heat and add the chopped tomatoes, ground coriander, salt, and a splash of water and cook for about 10 minutes until the tomatoes cook and form a thick sauce.
Add the jaggery and tamarind pulp and cook for about 5 minutes more, adding a little water if you think that the sauce is getting too thick or dry.
Add the stuffed, cooked aubergines and allow to cook, covered for another 5 minutes on a very low heat until the sauce is of a thick coating consistency. Do not stir, or the stuffing will fall out.
After 5 minutes, remove the lid and check that the tip of a table knife can easily pierce the aubergine flesh. If they are soft and cooked, they are ready – serve hot, with ghee-topped rice.

text: After hearing Sue Watson speak at a symposium a few years ago, I knew I wanted to work with her. When an opportunity presented itself, I didn't hesitate. I engaged Sue to support in the enhancement of our leadership skills on the management level. Sue helped me by getting our senior leadership to realize their full potential. They now understand the immediate impact they have on our workforce as well as with our customers. The results are phenomenal. In the oil and gas industry, supervisors are traditionally promoted based upon their time with the company or because of their skill level. Very few of them have had formal training or guidance on how to succeed at leading a workforce. We place these individuals in spotlight positions without the proper tools to perform. When hearing our supervisors engage in the conversations promoting change and utilizing the ideas Sue provided has been a company changing victory. Sue has built significant relationships with our management. They have reached out to her for one-on-one training to better improve themselves. Sue has provided our leadership with the guidance to become their best. The experience has been incredibly influential.

Ogun state may not be able to fill its quota of 1,353 allotted to it by the National Hajj Commission of Nigeria (NAHCON) for this year's Hajj in Saudi Arabia.
Most of the intending pilgrims for the forthcoming Hajj are finding it difficult to pay the approved N1.5 million fare for the annual pilgrimage, coming up in August.
As at Monday, June 19, less than 100 of intending pilgrims had fully paid the N1.5 million fare to the Ogun State Muslim Pilgrims Welfare Board.
A top official of the board told Rockcity FM that more than 700 are still paying the fare on instalment which were expected to have been completed last May 12.
The official said there is the possibility that Ogun state may not be able to fill a half of the quota allotted to it by NAHCON.
The general complaint of the prospective Hajj pilgrims is that the fare is too high, considering the fare of one million and 80 thousand naira paid for the 2016 Hajj exercise.
One of the intending Hajj pilgrims, Kamorudeen Adio, already screened by the Ogun state board, and paying the fare instalmentally, told Rockcity FM that himself and six others are considering seeking a refund of the money already paid.

Murakami are, unsurprisingly with the title, set in February 1995 after the devastating Kobe earthquake. The stories don't deal completely with the after effects of the quake, but in the classic Murakami style, the characters have had their lives altered in various subtle ways by this natural disaster.
All six stories are told from the third person perspective, which is a change for Murakami and his usual first person point of view. The stories each have their own unique feel, presenting an unusual situation that continues to get weirder until the end, when the reader is left deep in contemplation and wonder. There is the story of the man who is an electronics salesman and finds one day that his wife has left him; when he agrees to deliver an enigmatic package, he finds out more about himself and who he really is than he ever thought he knew. A religious man follows the pursuit of another elderly gentleman, believing he might be his long lost father.
The highpoint of the collection is with the wonderfully amusing "Super-Frog Saves Tokyo," which is about exactly what the title says. A man meets a giant frog who tells him a giant worm beneath the city will destroy everything if they don't stop it. Taking some time, the man eventually believes the super-frog, but just as they are to venture beneath the city, he has an accident and ends up in the hospital. Thinking he can no longer help his new froggy friend, he later discovers he has helped in more ways than he knows.
With such a short collection, the stories have a way of growing on the reader, as opposed to other longer collections, where by the end readers can forget some of the earlier stories they've read. For anyone looking to try the great Haruki Murakami for the first time, After the Quake is a great start.

Various Artists – Christmas In Soulsville
Christmas in Soulsville features some of the biggest names in R&B from the '60s and '70s, with songs that are both naughty ("Santa Claus Wants Some Lovin" by Albert King; "Mistletoe and Me" by Isaac Hayes) and nice ("Winter Wonderland" by Booker T. & The M.G.'s; "Merry Christmas, Baby" by Otis Redding).
Showcasing several forgotten gems, this compilation is a perfect gift for crate diggers, and a groovy soundtrack for any holiday party.
You might not think of holiday music when you think of Stax Records, but the label released numerous singles of holiday and seasonal music by its biggest stars throughout its storied history, many of which are compiled on Christmas In Soulsville. Christmas sounds classic and different here in Soulsville.
Soft, floating falsetto lead vocals and companion harmonies help The Temprees make "The Christmas Song" sound merry and bright, and Booker T. & The MGs glide through a smooth groovin' "Winter Wonderland". Isaac Hayes polishes his piano and vocal in "The Mistletoe & Me" to a glossy pop finish, sweet and potent from strings and horns stirred like invigorating rum through his cup of holiday cheer.
Even among the twinkling holiday reds and greens, Soulsville is still home to plenty of blues. Hayes' "Winter Snow" mourns the passing of a romantic relationship with a woman whose heart is as cold as its title. Albert King's guitar buzzsaws into big city electric blues, while Mack Rice kicks up a southern country blues ruckus, in their respective takes on "Santa Claus Wants Some Lovin'".
Other stops on this tour of Christmas In Soulsville come with intriguing backstories. For example, legend maintains that Rufus Thomas co-wrote his funky solo throwdown "I'll Be Your Santa, Baby" – which sure sounds interested in unwrapping more than presents and stuffing more than stockings – with an exotic dancer.
Soulsville sounds like one funky, swingin' place to celebrate Christmas!

Back In Line Chiropractic in Dallas GA Is Your Chiropractor For Manipulation Diathermy
Back in Line Chiropractic provides statute of the art manipulation diathermy in
Dallas, GA for patients in need of relief.
Dallas, GA – June 20, 2017 – Back in Line Chirporactic provides state of the art manipulation diathermy
for patients throughout the greater Dallas GA area. Dr. LaDonna Bense and her staff aim to provide the
very best in chiropractic services in order to restore full functionality throughout the spine and other
areas in the body. Individuals of all ages are welcome into the clinic to receive treatment as
misalignment can occur to everyone from an infant to the elderly. Back in Line Chiropractic aims to
deliver the very best service a chiropractor can provide.
Services from a chiropractor are more than simply cracking joints. While joints do crack during the
process as a result from air bubbles bursting in between joints, this is not the point of manipulation
diathermy. Instead, the process is designed to restore complete functionality within the skeletal system
and to reduce pain caused by misaligned bones pushing against nerve endings and causing muscles to
shift out of correct position.
Bones shifting out of proper position can stem from a wide range of causes. Auto accidents and injuries
during sporting events are some of the most common forms of a sudden shift. However, individuals may
experience this kind of bone shift due to their posture, how they sleep or repeated motions performed
while at work. Due to this, many people do suffer from varying forms of bone and joint pain, which can
be corrected with a chiropractor and manipulation diathermy.
Back in Line Chiropractic provides a wide range of chiropractic services in Dallas, GA. The clinic is also
currently accepting new patients, both on a referral basis and from those who are interested in walking
in on their own and experiencing what a chiropractor is able to do for them. Back in Line Chiropractic is

Keep Your Spine Healthy With The Help Of A Hiram Chiropractor
The spine, also called vertebral column and backbone, refers to a bony structure of the skeletal system that is found in humans. It is an important body part that is durable but also prone to problems. Chiropractors are among the many doctors who practice alternative medicine to help people heal a variety of medical problems, including those related to spinal problems. A Hiram GA chiropractor can provide locals with the services they need.
Keeping this body part healthy is important to overall health and bodily function. This body part is necessary to several movements of the body. The spine is sometimes overlooked and a major part of any healthy lifestyle.
Those who suffer with back pain, especially chronic, are often less healthy than those who do not. Back pain is becoming increasingly common among people around the world. When not addressed, it can be debilitating and lead to more problems down the line. Many people who seek out chiropractic care do so because of its more natural and non-invasive approach to care.
Simple things can be done in an effort to keep this part of the body as healthy as possible. In addition to providing patients with care services, these doctors might also equip them with knowledge and tips related to keeping the physical self in good shape. Exercise, good posture and healthy lifestyle are among the simple things that can help.
Standing, sitting, bending, reaching, carrying and lifting can all be done in a way to help strengthen the spine and be of benefit. However, it is crucial that these are done in the proper way to prevent injury, pain or other issues. A healthy diet is important and highly encouraged in chiropractic medicine, as is exercise and physical activity.
Chiropractic care is available through many professionals. Do research on doctor ratings, services and costs. There are many different non-invasive and natural procedures that may be applied for spine and overall health.

Fallopia baldschuanica commonly known as Russian vine (or Bukhara fleeceflower)
Russian vine is very similar to Japanese knotweed with it being in the same Fallopia family of plants. It flowers in August and September and these flowers are also small and white, which is like Japanese Knotweed.
It is also fast growing and will choke anything that is growing in its path, meaning it will overtake your garden.
However, the leaves of the Russian Vine are pointed nearly triangular, which can grow up to lengths of about 10 centimetres.

It was too warm for a winter coat the other day, but too cold for no coat at all, so I put on my raincoat to keep out the wind.
Reaching into my pocket, I found a worn little seashell.
I guess I haven't worn my raincoat in a while, the last time being when I was in England over Christmas. I picked up this little fragment on a beach somewhere between Brixham and Torquay. Though it was a bit grim and gray, it was a fun walk.
Here are some photos from that day in January.
Staring down at unreal-coloured seawater.
Wondering who lived here, perched high on the hill overlooking the sea.
Fishing from the edge.
Happy memories, all because of a shell forgotten in a pocket.

Many people say they were inspired by the book, God Calling, which was written by two "listeners" who were using automatic writing to obtain messages that allegedly came from God; however, not everyone was impressed, such as this reader who said she found the content to be quite disturbing.
PB writes: "Thank you for posting the comments on the book 'God Calling.' I have a copy – I don't even remember where I got it – but I've read a bit here and there. The book does NOT bear witness with my spirit. I couldn't quite identify what is was. I just knew the book was "off." I would pick it up and put it down…just not quite sure . . . my disquiet led me to look up A.J. Russell which led me to your comments. So thank you for stating the facts."

You may also be interested in learning why many people are turned off by Jesus Calling, the mega-bestseller which was written by a woman who was inspired by God Calling and wanted the same "gift." This blog explains the issues surrounding the controversy and this blog reveals how the publisher chose to hide the facts about the origins of Jesus Calling in later editions.

Sometimes the choice is clear… you're probably not going to opt for the studio-butchered "Love Conquers All" cut of Brazil except out of morbid curiosity. Other times it's not so simple. While I believe the "Final Cut" of Blade Runner is a better film, I still have lingering nostalgia for the Deckard narration in the original theatrical release. Chinese Bookie was released in 1976 in a 135-minute cut, which is the one I watched ten years ago. It tanked at the box office, was poorly received by critics, and was yanked out of distribution after a week. Cassavetes re-cut the film and in 1978 released on a 109-minute version. There isn't a clear consensus on which is the superior cut, and part of that may stem from differing accounts of why Cassavetes did it. Some say the first cut was rushed and Cassavetes being Cassavetes, he wouldn't have re-cut it unless that's what he wanted to do. Others believe it was an artistic compromise to make the movie more accessible.
What I remembered most about the 1976 cut were the interminable cabaret scenes. In my review at the time, I said I should have watched the later version (which, although shorter, contains scenes that do not appear in the longer version, making the choice even more of a challenge). But part of me wanted to tackle that longer cut again. If I appreciate Cassavetes, shouldn't I want more Cassavetes? Shouldn't I want the pure, uncompromising, difficult Cassavetes? But the thought of watching all those tedious burlesque scenes again… the point is made well enough in just a few minutes. And so I went with the re-cut, with the idea that if I liked it enough then the next time I would revisit the first release. Besides, I'm inclined to agree with those who think he really wanted to re-edit the film. He's clearly not the type of director who would go against his vision to please an audience, placate an investor or studio, or make more money.
And with this is mind, I now have a greater appreciation for the autobiographical nature of the film, about an artist who builds his own world, and that world is compromised by outside influences. Part of it is due to his own character flaws: he gambles money he doesn't have, putting his business (and his life, and his art) in jeopardy. But part of it is the parasitic nature of the gangsters, who see an opportunity to kill two birds with one stone, in a very literal sense. Cosmo preaches that a comfortable man is a happy man, and the mobsters have invaded his comfort, forced him to be something he is not. Ben Gazzara's performance is spellbinding, and you can see it in his eyes as he assesses a situation and tries to decide how to play it. You can see the passion he has for his show, an absolute shambles of a show but it's his and it's what he loves. It was also a treat to revisit this film with a much greater affection for Tim Carey, an actor who fascinates me to no end. I could watch that dude all day long.
Still, I can't say I love the movie. The shorter cut has some wonderful character moments, but I must say it does seem to stick too close to the plot, which isn't an especially original one. Somewhere between the indulgence of the '76 cut and the leanness of the '78 cut is a film that has a good mix of narrative and authorial personality. Or maybe not… maybe this material isn't interesting enough to be molded into a great movie, no matter how you cut it. But it does have a certain unique something to it. It's got that Cassavetes vibe to it, that nervous and excited feeling that anything could happen, that you never know what someone is going to say. Cosmo is an intriguing character because underneath the style you want to see what makes him tick. It's enough to convince me that next time I'll give the original cut another go. Maybe.

D · isar-nacktsport.de: Now, the fireworks are cracking! [30 December 2017]
Although many firecrackers could rain wet on New Year's Eve, even though the warm temperatures at the turn of the year only make you dream of bathing in ice and snow. Alex wishes a Happy New Year for all naturists on his website themed "Now, the fireworks are cracking!" with an acoustically accompanied photo sequence". By the way, this is a very environmentally sound presentation of New Year's Eve fireworks: The particulate matter pollution from half an hour of fireworks on the road is about as large as from three weeks of continuous traffic jam of diesel cars with the engine running.

German politicians are discussing the possibility of sanctioning Belarusian President Alexander Lukashenko's regime after fraudulent elections and the regime's intimidation of opposition members.
Supporters of opposition leader Alexander Milinkevich in Minsk on Tuesday
"Restricting entry visas is possible if it is done selectively and aims to affect the people surrounding Lukashenko," SPD foreign affairs spokesperson Gert Weisskirchen told the Berliner Zeitung.
"The European Union cannot accept these perverted, Soviet-style elections," Eckart von Klaeden of the CDU said.
Marie-Luise Beck, Green party politician and election observer from the Organization for Security and Co-operation in Europe (OSCE), told NDR radio that in the run-up to the elections, "every type of democratic election process was completely abandoned."
The United States has also said it would work with the European Union in taking action against those Belarus officials responsible for election fraud and human rights abuses. White House spokesperson Scott McClellan said travel restrictions and targeted financial sanctions, such as freezing foreign accounts of particular individuals, could be possibilities.
Lukashenko opponents detained
Meanwhile, four aides to Belarus' main opposition presidential candidate, Alexander Milinkevich, were detained on Tuesday close to a square in central Minsk where protesters had spent the night.
"Alexander Dobrovolsky, Anatoly Lebedko, Alexei Yanukiyevich and Valentina Polevikova were arrested," Pavel Mazheika, a spokesman for Milinkevich, told the AFP news agency.
Milinkevich supporters are not giving up easily
He added that "several dozen" other people who had been protesting against the landslide re-election victory of authoritarian President Alexander Lukashenko had also been detained overnight.
Lebedko is head of the United Civil Party (UCP), a liberal group that chose Milinkevich to represent the United Democratic Forces Coalition against Lukashenko in Sunday's controversial presidential vote.
Polevikova and Dobrovolsky are senior UCP officials and Yanukiyevich is a member of another opposition group, the Belarussian Popular Front.
Polevikova, who was later released, told the AFP news agency, that she was with Lebedko and Dobrovolsky when they were arrested. She said she had been prevented from re-entering Oktyabrskaya Square, where around 300 mostly young people rallied in freezing temperatures and in defiance of a government ban.
"We came back to the square but some police officers in plain clothes arrived," Polevikova said, adding she had been forcibly taken home by the officers. "They took the men and put them in a minibus and they told the women to stay at home and bring up children."
There was no information on the whereabouts of the other three activists.
Lebedko had been due to attend a hearing Tuesday for "insults" uttered during a brief detention on March 15 in the run-up to the election.
"We haven't received any detainees from Oktyabrskaya Square," an official at Minsk's central police station told the AFP news agency. "Look for them somewhere else."
Opposition leader wants an "orange revolution"
Lukashenko won Sunday's election with a resounding 82.6 percent of the vote, according to preliminary official results. Milinkevich was credited with just six percent in the ballot, which was condemned Monday by the leading Western election-monitoring body as neither free nor fair.
Milinkevich has declared the election invalid and hopes to lead a peaceful protest movement modeled on the "orange revolution" that occured in 2004 in neighboring Ukraine.
The United States and the European Union have denounced the authorities' crackdown on opposition activists, several of whom were jailed for up to two weeks on various charges during the election campaign.
Belarus' authoritarian President Alexander Lukashenko looked set for landslide re-election Sunday amid opposition claims of vote-rigging and fear of violence after authorities vowed to crush protests. (March 19, 2006)

Bartolomeo da Bologna (also Bartholomaeus de Bononia) is another one of those composers you should have heard of, one of those who changed music forever because his innovation was part of the change from Medieval to Renaissance sensibilities. Youre going to find this subtle, but I think youll also find it interesting: Bologna invented the parody form.
Yup, I know youre thinking that parodies are one of those things, like the names for the notes (see Odo of Cluny), and do-re-me (see Guido DArrezzo) that have always existed (except they havent), but theyre really only about 700 years old. In the musical sense, parodies are very young.
The obvious interpretation of what I mean is those fabulous comedic skits where something serious is turned into something ridiculous. In music, its more the other waysomething frivolous is turned into something sacred. In truth, it should be called the paraphrase form, where a secular song is reworked into something to be used as part of liturgy.
Another thing about Bologna is that hes one of the few Italian composers of the early 15th century to have been reliably attributed. There were few composers native to this region for nearly the whole centuryfor about a hundred years, there was a dry spell in Italy. Elsewhere in Europe, composers in France, Flanders, and Germany, along with England and other British Isles were plenty productive. Most of the musicians composing in Italy at the time were imports from the north (see Johannes Ciconia).
Very little is known about Bolognas private life. We can presume that he is from Bologna by his name, and its known that he spent part of his life in Ferrara. He was a Benedictine, possibly a monk or even the prior of San Nicolo in Ferrara, and he was definitely organist at the cathedral from 1417. His name still appears in the cathedrals records in 1427, but he disappears after that.
Hes also associated with the chapel of the Antipope John XXIII (c1370-1419). Bologna, and one of his ballades (Arte psalentes) is thought to address to the singers in the popes chapel choir.
Another composer, Antonio Zachara da Teramo (c1350-c1415, biography to come), probably overlapped Bologna in his service to John XXIII. Zacharas work influenced Bologna, but his parodies are freer, less literal. Bologna quoted large and contiguous sections of his own secular music and composed new melodies around them.
Only seven of Bolognas pieces have survived (although there are probably more that didnt have attribution). He wrote two ballata (Vince con lena and Morir desio), one ballade (Arte psalentes), one rondeau (Mersi chiamando), one virelai (Que pena maior), and two mass movements in parody of his other works (the Gloria, based on Vince con lena, and the Credo, based on Morir desio). All of his pieces are related to the ars subtilior style that flourished in Avignon, Bologna, and other regions held by the antipopes during the Western Schism.
He wrote one Italian- and one Latin-texted ballata, and both his rondeau and virelai have Italian texts and have much simpler musical forms. It was the end of the 14th century, and music notation had evolved far enough (see The History of Music Notation) to produce rhythmic nuance and virtuosity. The timing of both ballatas makes it clear that he wrote them expressly for Antipope John XXIII.
Parody began with Bologna in the Renaissance, but it hardly stopped there. Johann Sebastian Bach (1685-1750, biography to come) borrowed well-known folk tunes to set a chorale, and these proved popular enough that he parodied himself repeatedlyif you listen to Bach chorales, youll find that theyre very much alike (the text is the only aspect with significant changes), and many of his cantatas house familiar themes from his chorals and his other sacred works. Giovanni Pierluigi Palestrina (c1525-1594, biography to come), probably the best known 16th century Italian composer of all, wrote a parody Mass, Missa Assumpta est Maria based on his own motet by the same name. So it was an idea that endured.
Bolognas music shows the influence of the rhythmically straightforward, melodious Franco-Flemish style of the early 15th century, although sadly, none of his French-texted works have survived. There was a serious shortage of Italian innovation at the time, and there was a happy invasion of Franco-Flemish musicians (like Johannes Ciconia) from the north, keeping Italy fresh with new works.

State's public colleges chasing out-of-state students, tuition
SACRAMENTO — Over three generations, the Michael family forged a deep bond with the University of California, dating back nearly 50 years to when Jay Dee Michael Sr. was the university system's vice president and chief lobbyist.
Family members proudly displayed degrees from the campuses in Los Angeles, Davis, Berkeley and Santa Barbara. And when Michael died last year, his family asked that memorial donations go to a UC Davis institute. Recently, though, the relationship has soured, a victim of the economic forces buffeting public universities.
Jay Dee Michael Jr. said he might never feel the same again after his son was rejected from several UC campuses.
"I have blue and gold running through my blood," Michael told an Assembly hearing here in March. "But I can tell you that when I get calls now from UC Davis, as an alum, I'm not giving a dime."
Out-of-state revenue
A state audit in March reinforced what many California parents already suspected: On a constant hunt for more revenue, the prestigious University of California system gave favorable admissions treatment to thousands of higher-paying out-of-state and foreign students, to the detriment of Californians.
As a result, admissions to the system have become a bipartisan political issue in California, where the Legislature recently moved to link university funding to enrolling additional California residents.
But at its core, the discontent in California, which is also developing in other states, reflects a broader, fundamental breakdown in the traditional operation of the public university. And it highlights troubling questions about affordability and access, much of the impetus behind the announcement by Hillary Clinton on Wednesday that she was embracing a large part of Bernie Sanders' proposal to provide free tuition at in-state public colleges.
Since the 2008 recession, states have reduced spending on public higher education by 17 percent, while tuition has risen by 33 percent, according to a recent report by the nonpartisan Center on Budget and Policy Priorities.
State funding drops
The UC system relied on state money for almost a quarter of its budget as recently as 2002, according to the American Academy of Arts and Sciences. Now, that figure is 9 percent, after $1 billion in cuts.
Students who once could afford high-quality educations at their state public universities now pay nearly twice what they used to pay, part of the driving force behind a $1.27 trillion student debt bill.
According to the College Board, the average cost of attending a four-year public university, including room and board, increased from $11,655 in 2000 to $19,548 in 2015, in inflation-adjusted dollars. In the City University of New York system, tuition at four-year colleges is now $6,330, having increased by $300 each year since 2011, when it was $4,830.
Clinton's proposal — which would use federal funds to make in-state public tuition free for students with family incomes of up to $125,000 — would also require states to pay matching dollars. Public higher education advocates generally agree that a federal effort to reverse the long disinvestment by states is overdue.
"What Sanders figured out — it's not the $65,000 cost of attendance at some of our pricier privates driving the debt bubble, but rather the disinvestment and privatization of public higher ed," said Barmak Nassirian, the director of federal relations and policy analysis for the American Association of State Colleges and Universities.
Ticket to the dream
For more than a century, the public university has been viewed as the proverbial ticket to the American dream, assuring a pathway to better jobs and a more comfortable lifestyle for generation after generation. With generous state subsidies, the public university operated on the idea that even a poor or middle-class student could acquire a world-class education.
That egalitarian notion was expressed in Michigan through the phrase "an uncommon education for the common man," coined by the university's former president James B. Angell. In Wisconsin, the university's former president Charles Van Hise declared that he would "never be content until the beneficent influence of the university reaches every family in the state." That became known as the Wisconsin Idea.
Funding cuts have also changed the demographic makeup of the public universities as they seek revenue from outside the state, admitting more and more out-of-state and foreign students. In California, even Clinton weighed in.
"We have got to get back to using public colleges and universities for what they were intended," Clinton said during a California campaign stop. "If it is in California, for the children in California. If it is in New York, for the children in New York."
In California, nonresident enrollment has been about 15.5 percent on UC campuses overall, but as high as 29 percent at the marquee campus, Berkeley. Yet California's out-of-state enrollment is low compared with flagship universities in a number of other states. On Monday, Berkeley announced that it had offered admission to 14,400 high school students for this fall, including 1,000 more California residents than last year.
Defending her university system after the audit's release in March, President Janet Napolitano wrote that because of budget cuts, nearly every state in the nation had been forced to make a "Hobson's choice, and they all have reached the same decision: Open doors to out-of-state students to keep the doors open for in-state students."
Alabama U. tops UC
Napolitano reeled off a list of more than a dozen big public universities whose out-of-state enrollment exceeds California's. Some, like the University of Alabama, where the student body of 37,000 is more than 50 percent nonresident, have resorted to aggressive marketing aimed at luring out-of-staters, including distributing million of dollars in merit aid to nonresidents, much of it to high-achieving students from affluent families, not only improving its bottom line but also raising average test scores, metrics used by commercial ratings groups to rank colleges.
But it is a ratings and financial game, some worry, that means university student bodies will increasingly become alienated from their state's population.
"It seems like all the incentives are going after wealthy students and leaving the low-income students in the dust," said Stephen Burd, a senior policy analyst with the New America Foundation who has studied the increased use of merit aid to attract nonresident students.
Fewer minorities
A study soon to be published found that as out-of-state enrollment increases, universities admit fewer minority and low-income students.
"When you grow the share of out-of-state students, you're making the student body richer, more white and Asian and less black and Latino," said one of the study's co-authors, Ozan Jaquette, an assistant professor of education at UCLA.
Elliot Spillers, from Pelham, Ala., was student body president at the University of Alabama last year — the first black student in 40 years to have held that position. He said he doubted he would have been elected if the student body, which is mostly white, had been homegrown. The university's enrollment is now more than half out-of-staters.
"It's definitely shifting the culture here on campus, which is a positive thing," Spillers said, echoing the views of many students.
Others see a less positive side to the change.
Of the out-of-state undergraduates at Alabama's Tuscaloosa campus, more than 3,000 receive merit aid in the form of free or discounted tuition — an average of $19,000 per student. In 2015, the university gave $100 million in merit aid.
Burd, of the New America Foundation, wonders if that money could be better used to help needy students, particularly in a state with a poverty rate among the highest in the country. In essence, he said, some colleges have adopted the enrollment tactics of private colleges to increase revenue and enhance prestige.
Devin Thompson of St. Paul, Minn., had a near-perfect SAT score and realized he could save $200,000 over four years by not attending a private college in Virginia and instead accepting the free tuition offered by Alabama, automatic to anyone with his record. The son of college professors, he will be attending this fall.
By enrolling Thompson, Alabama will elevate its average SAT score, one of the metrics used in the U.S. News and World Report rankings. That, in turn, education experts say, will attract other affluent students, many of whom will get smaller merit packages from Alabama — just enough to make the college enticing compared with its peers.
Meanwhile, the number of entering freshmen from Alabama high schools has declined steadily, from 3,122 in 2009 to 2,458 in 2015, records show. University officials say the acceptance rate for those students — 63 percent — has remained the same.
About half a mile away and just across the railroad tracks from the University of Alabama's manicured campus sits the mostly black Central High School.
Few Central High students attend the University of Alabama. Ernestine Tucker, a Tuscaloosa school board member, wonders whether the university is working hard enough to recruit them.
"You would think their first priority would be the local students," Tucker said.
Neglecting residents
Jay Michael, whose son attends the University of Washington, was one of thousands of California residents who complained about admissions practices at UC. From 2010 to 2014, the number of California residents enrolled declined by 1 percent, or 2,200 students, while nonresidents increased by 82 percent, or 18,000 students, the audit found. In 2015, nonresident students paid $37,000, compared with $12,240 for in-state.
"Over the past several years, the university has failed to put the needs of residents first," the audit said.
One of those residents was Priyanka Krishnamurthi, a math wiz from Saratoga, with a near-perfect SAT score. She ended up at Yale after being turned down by her desired program at UC Berkeley.
'There's no room'
In debating a bill in June over enrollment at the University of California, Assemblywoman Cheryl Brown told colleagues about her granddaughter, who recently graduated from high school in Sacramento, but did not bother to apply to UC schools. That is because a college admissions adviser told her she would be a good candidate only if she were from out of state.
To Michael's way of thinking, when it came to his son, the University of California had reneged on an unwritten contract.
"In my case, three generations of Michaels have supported and funding the UC, and the same is true for my wife's family," he said. "And then, when it comes time for our children to go, there's no room."
