Hi Erin-
I totally agree with you about the horror of shower games, and I have given a couple showers with none. But if you have to, another one that is not too irksome (and is about foood!) is to remove the labels from jars of baby food, and people try to guess what's inside. I don't know why, but the muck somehow looks even worse when you don't know what it's supposed to be -- so if you are giving the food mill it will be even more appreciated!
Another gift that I personally loved is a bathtub thing - it suctions onto the bottom of the tub, and helps baby sit up. Makes it easy to wash baby and less stressful for mom or dad to hang out and let let them splash for a while. This is for babies who can sit up -- about 5 months old and up.

MJ, What culture are you from? That is really interesting.
David, belly buttons freak me out.......shiver.
Minkey, I think my mom had one of those tubs. Maybe I could fill it with all the other presents.
The wheels are turning.

Well, okay, it's not a GENERAL custom here but I do have a number of feminist/pagan friends who invite their women friends over for an evening burial of the child's umbilical cord a few months after birth.
I'm laughing 'cause when we had our second one, we carefully prepared 4yo Rachel for what would happen. What she got out of all of it was that the placenta would also be delivered after the baby. So, when Galen was born, to our great surprise, Rachel's attention was riveted not on the baby but on the placenta. Mabbee because that was last it was the climax of events? I dunno. She was very disturbed that the midwife took the placenta away. She didn't say, but I wondered if she would happily have traded off Galen...

Ooh -- I actually think there is a tribe in my area that does something like what David describes. I think it is the Hopi, and I think that they bury the umbilical cord at the family home, in the belief that this ties the child to the home and s/he will always come back. Kinda sweet, I thought...

There are others who plant it along with a tree or a rose bush so that the child and the tree/rose grow together.

Oh Rainey... can't type... laughing too hard...
That is just like a child isn't it. I can just imagine the look on her face "what, you mean we keep "that" part?!?"
That food puree thingy is fabulous!!!!!!! I have never seen one before. Had always known people to use a bamix or moulinex. What a brilliant gift for a new Mum! I am tempted to get one for my girlfriend and one to keep here. You have no idea the amount of time we spend babysitting everyones kidlets. It would be a godsend for my poor wrists (I don't have any nice electric type gadgets... just forks, spoons and seives....
Sorry Erin.... yes nappies are diapers..... some words just don't work and you don't think about it till afterwards....
Those nappies that Rainey mentioned are great also. We actually bought some for a friend. At the time they weren't in Australia and we had to order them from the UK and pay an absolute fortune (the AUSD compared to the pound is not good news...). But worth every cent. I don't recall their babies getting nappyrash either and it was probably as you said, because the baby wasn't in a plastic wrap. Disposable nappies are convenient, but still not right on so many levels.... but every woman for herself and if it works for you use it.
Thanks for bringing up this topic. I have some new ideas for the baby showers coming up now!
P.s. Simona. Really like the idea of the party and the nursery being set up after the birth. It is too traumatic to have an empty nursery and to have to pack everything away afterwards. Very sensible and sensitive.
If you cannot feel your arteries hardening, eat more cheese. If you can, drink more red wine. Diet is just "die" with a "t" on the end. Exercise is walking into the kitchen.

I grew up during the war years when the Philippines was occupied so there were no baby showers nor bridal showers but later, we pretty much follow the custom in the United States.
Like Rainey, my children grew up knowing wet as they used cloth diapers and ate foods prepared from my kitchen brought home from farmer's markets and local produce stores. Although those years were way before yours, Rainey.
Simona, after reading your post, it reminded me of my Navajo friend who never gives a present until after the baby is born - just never done in the Navajo culture. As most of you may know, Navajo Nation is the largest native american tribe in the United States.
Debbie, I like your ideas - I have been enjoying reading your posts and all the activities in Paris. I was hoping to try and hook up with you and others while on a trip there next week but my husband wanted to have some time, too. I'll have to wait until my next trip (he is only allowed to go with me once every five years, ha, ha!)
Erin, enjoy the shower - I am looking forward to read what you and your friend did (no games - like you, I hate them, too). Have fun planning and partying.

Erin, I've been a midwife for almost 20 years and being present at the birth of a baby still blows me away - it's one of the most incredible experiences anyone can ever have, both giving birth and attending one. Your friend must love and trust you very much to want you to see her in a state of 'no-control' and 'everything out in the open'. I barely wanted my partner there, let alone anyone else.
We planted my son's placenta in our garden, with a Chinese Paulownia tree, much prized for their timber, flowers, shade and general appeal.
If you are planning on giving baby clothes, I'll echo what other members have said .... give larger sizes, and whatever you do, don't give size 0000. No matter how large or small the baby is when it's born, it will have grown out of size 0000 in the blink of an eye.
Doing what you like is freedom
Liking what you do is happiness

She is a very wonderful person and incredibly comfortable with everything that goes along with child birth. I have been trying to convince her to become a doula or midwife for a while now. In fact if I ever get over my extreme fear of the whole situation, she would be the first person I would want in the room. I think her asking me to be present is a plan to help me overcome my fear. This woman was born to be a mom.
I am amazed at all of the different cultures and traditions that are displayed on C&Z every single day. I often find myself a little jealous of those who have such strong cultural traditions, I have American traditions but really know little about my roots. Thanks for sharing all that you do.

Especially for teens: Fairy tales reimagined
'Entwined,' 'Cruel Beauty' and 'Cinder'
Reviews by
Melissa Oxborrow

02, 2014]
"Entwined," by
Heather Dixon, Greenwillow Books, 2011, 472 pages
Princess Azalea's life changes forever when her mother dies
after giving birth to her youngest sister. Overnight, the entire castle is
in mourning. Her father, the king, is heartbroken and distances himself from
his daughters. Hardest for the young princesses is when he forbids them to
dance, despite its connection with their mother.
But magic is afoot in the castle, and Azalea and her sisters find a
hidden passageway into an enchanted silver forest where the darkly alluring
Keeper lies in wait. He invites them to come every night to dance their
heartbreak away. But the Keeper is not what he seems. And Azalea has made a
bargain that may condemn her and her sisters to an unimaginable fate.
"Entwined" explores the themes of choice and consequence, mercy and
forgiveness, and the pain that sometimes comes from our closest
relationships. Vivid characters and expert storytelling make this a
must-read for fairy tale enthusiasts.
"Cruel Beauty," by Rosamund Hodge, Balzer & Bray, 2014, 352 pages
Proof that some fairy tales definitely aren't for children, this dark
retelling of "Beauty and the Beast" grabs you by the throat and doesn't let
Nyx Triskelion has been raised as a human sacrifice. Because of a
horrific bargain her father made before her birth, she will be forced from
her home on her 17th birthday and wed to Ignifex, the "Gentle Lord," a man
who commands demons and holds her people in his tyrannical grip.
Nyx knows it is her duty to try to destroy her captivating new husband,
using her years of training in the hermetic arts. But how can she defeat a
man in league with demons, and now that she has come to know him and desire
him — does she even want to?
Featuring a flawed heroine learning to love, and an enemy who is not at
all what he seems, "Cruel Beauty" is an enthralling read, filled with
heart-stopping romance and seductive magic. Teens and adults alike will
clamor for more.
[to top of second column]
"Cinder," Book One of the "Lunar Chronicles," by Marissa
Meyer, Feiwel and Friends, 2012, 387 pages
Like your fairy tales with a side of sci-fi? You'll go supernova
over this futuristic retelling of the classic fairy tale
Cinder lives in New Beijing, a city that is on the edge of
complete extinction because of a deadly plague with no cure, and is
watched from the sky by the power-hungry Lunar people. Cinder is a
mechanic — and a cyborg, and spends her days in the marketplace
struggling to make enough to keep her hateful stepmother from
kicking her out of the house. She meets the enigmatic Prince Kai and
starts on the road of a dangerous adventure she could never have
anticipated — where the answers to her own mysterious past might
just be what the prince needs to save his kingdom and his people,
and perhaps all of planet Earth.
Filled with heartache, humor, romance (of course!) and danger —
not to mention interplanetary politics — this book will leave
readers itching for more. "Cinder" is the first award-winning book
in the "Lunar Chronicles," with "Scarlet" (think Red Riding Hood)
and "Cress" (enter Rapunzel) already published and on the shelf at
the library.

great reads, come see us at the Lincoln Public Library, 725 Pekin

SwimSmooth's swim coaches came up with a new angle on how to teach swimming.
The fundamental idea is that we are all build differently, which makes us swim in varied ways and therefore we require a customized swimming class instruction to effectively improve our swimming stroke.
I am sure that most of you were in the situation where during your swim class you were asked to perform certain drill which you just could not muster and did not understand why the drill was important.
It could have just been the case that your body just could not do it, because it wasn't build for it.
Now, don't take me wrong, I don't mean you will never be able to do it, I am just stating that perhaps some other less complicated, more targeted drills for your swimming style are more appropriate.
|Hover the image to learn more about SwimTypes
You can choose from 6 different types:
1) Arnie or Arnette
Assuming this is an anlogy to the infamous Arnold Schwarzenegger, you can just imagine what that looks like :).
You are probably an american football player, judo wrestler or weight lifter. Basically, you got too much muscle :), so swimming which requires long, lean muscle mass and a lot of flexibility is quite difficult for you.
In other words, your Arnie or Arnette body is not buoyant enough in the water, so you have to work extra hard to stay afloat. To help you with this, you need to work on your body position.
2) Bambino
If you are a small person with a light build and you are having problems with breathing and propulsion through water, you could fall into the Bambino category.
In other words, you need to build up more strength in your upper and core body and improve the catch in the first part of your stroke during your swim class.
So, next time you are in the pool stroking away wondering why you are not moving forward and your arms are slicing through water like butter, remember that maybe you are a Bambino.
3) Kicktastic
Well, the title says it all, you just kick too damn much :).
Kicking is a bread and butter of very fast sprint swimming, but constant fast kick does not belong to longer distance or practice swimming unless instructed to do so or during fast sets.
Kicking is very exhausting, due to its use of your largest muscles in your body.
Your legs should more or less be just floating inline behind your body with a kick rhythm which helps you turn to breath (for longer swimming, probably only 2 beat kick).
If you look at this underwater video of Grant Hackett it shows you how he does not kick all the time, even though in his case, he still kicks quite a bit. You can, however, see the rhythm he has.
So, if you are a Kicktastic, relax and try not to kick that much. Use your arms instead and focus on strengthening your core body in a gym for example.
4) Overglider
Again, very good descriptive name for this swim type of a swimmer.
Overgliders tend to do just that, overglide their stroke. They do it to that extent that it actually creates a dead spot in their stroke.
Don't despair though, there are things you can work on during your swim classes to get you out of this group and swimming smooth.
As always, catching the water earlier is better, but in your case, you should also increase your stroke rate slightly.
How about giving the Wetronome a go, it could just help keep you on stroking away at the right speed, thus eliminating the over glide effect, so you can graduate from being an Overglider to being Smooth.
5) Swinger
No, don't worry, we are not going to tell you that you swing too much. That is fully between you and your sex partner :).
The Swinger swim type means that you swing your arms around your body to swim, instead of rolling your hips to help you move your arms.
In other words, you spend too much time on your belly while swimming. Instead you should spend more time rolling from one hip to another.
Also, this type of swimming could have pretty severe medical repercussions for your shoulders, so, next time you are doing your laps, keep your head down and only roll your hips.
Here are very helpful couple of pieces of swim equipment to get you started on rolling your hips during your swim classes. Say no to being a Swinger and become Smooth.
6) Smooth
If you made it this far and you consider yourself to swim smooth, congratulations. You will enjoy swimming much more if it appears as if it is effortless.
For some inspiration check out Alexander Popov's video.
There is always, however, something to work on, be it stronger core body, better catch, better kick and so on.
Being Smooth means you do well, but don't fall asleep behind the wheel. There is no such thing as a perfect stroke, but more on that next time.
So, after you have discovered the different swim types (Arnie/Arnette, Bambino, Kicktastic, Overglider, Swinger and Smooth) which one are YOU?

Day 1 of Lakmé Fashion Week Spring Summer 2019 brought oodles of bright colours and glitter to the runway. The Art Meets Fashion show featured 4 glorious designers with makeup looks that couldn't be more distinct from each other. From blue and green lips to Black Swan-esque eye makeup, it truly was a perfect portrayal of the art in fashion. The bright statement eye makeup looks especially have us hooked!
Being a bridesmaid or a maid of honour to your best friend comes with more than its fair share of responsibilities. While it's an absolute honour to be among the bride's tribe, catering to the needs of the bride, planning the bachelorette, and coordinating sangeet practice is bound to knock the sleep right out of you. How do you manage to be photo-ready amidst all your bridesmaid duties? What kind of makeup is appropriate for a bridesmaid? A red lip or a smokey eye, what's the best look that won't...

Wishlist for Baron [CHRISTMAS FOR KIDS]
Baron is a shy little 8-year-old boy who would be delighted if Santa brought him action figures and Captain American or Iron Man toys.
Christmastime is supposed to be "the most wonderful time of the year," but for those Buffalo children with no permanent family, there is no Christmas cheer. As part of Christmas For Kids, we're looking for toy donations to go to children at Buffalo Child & Family Services who are in need of foster care and/or adoption.

The Matrix: Path of Neo Scheduled For Holiday Release
Posted by Hector Martinez Categories: Video Games
There are a few reasons we're stoked about this announcement. First, the game should benefit from the added development time that has passed since the last game, which was rushed to market in order to coincide with The Matrix Reloaded release and suffered for it. Secondly, this game will allow us to play as Neo himself, as the subtitle "The Path of Neo" suggests, as opposed to secondary (and some might call the tertiary) characters Niobe and Ghost. Thirdly, it's not going to involve card-based combat, or monthly fees, ala "The Matrix Online", which is scheduled for release next month. "Path of Neo" is coming this Holiday season on PC, PS2, and Xbox. We'll be keeping a close eye on this one.

The stunning barn-like home sits atop a lush plot that overlooks a corn field, not far from the Atlantic shoreline. The entire Louver House is a series of continuous outdoor and indoor spaces, unified by the louver skin and rain siding. Five outdoor courtyards and gardens are arranged around the interior living areas under the peaked roof. A massive gray stone fireplace, met with a glass wall of doors, separates the main living area with the outdoor porch.
Playing up on the barn shape, the architects created an interior with an open plan that has extraordinarily high exposed beam ceilings. The roof is lined with a strip of skylights that continues down the peak of the entire ceiling, casting a dramatic light that moves around the interior throughout the day. The living area, dining room, and kitchen ceilings all rise two stories to further the home's openness, while a mezzanine area houses the private bedrooms, as well as a viewing area to look out over the nearby coast. The mezzanine also features a cozy study, a contrast from the openness of the rest of the home, and opens onto its own private roof garden with superior views.
Aside from living areas, the structure houses a custom woodshop that also has indoor and outdoor areas, as well as a lap pool for exercise. The Louver House is a network of mixed use spaces, seamlessly blending the interior with the outdoors.

We give teams that play that kind of front [i.e. try to read the A-back's block to give them cues on what kind of blocking scheme Georgia Tech is using to block the various defenders "assigned" to the different possible ballcarriers in the option] something a little funky. When they play the eight-man front on defense, they tie the safety and outside linebacker to the release of the playside slot. They tell the linebacker if the slot runs straight up the field, the strong safety takes the quarterback and the free safety runs for the pitch. If the slot arcs, the linebacker stays outside on the slot and the safety runs the alley for the quarterback. That is not a bad way to play and is probably smart. If we find them doing that, we automatic with a safety call. We run the slot on the inside release, but he passes the linebacker and blocks the safety. [In other words he basically fakes blocking one guy and blocks a different guy, though it is subtle and designed to defeat what the defenders were taught all week to look for as a blocking tendency.] The defense has two defenders on the quarterback and no one on the pitch. We did that a bunch against Georgia in our last regular season game.
Yup. The insight here is that it's not necessarily that Georgia didn't know the option, it's that they maybe overthought the whole thing, trying to guess and calculate what was coming when. Sometimes the answer is just to keep it simple, read and react, and play football.

5. In Fed We Trust: Ben Bernanke's War on the Great Panic, by David Wessel (the Wall Street Journal's economics editor). It's not out yet, but looks good, and I will be reading it. I've avoided most of the new books on the economic collapse, but it appears this is the one to read (at least so far). I've also always enjoyed Wessel's work.


text: Website and WordPress Basics workshop to be held Rachel Ireland / Thursday, February 13, 2014 0 993 A hands-on workshop, Website and WordPress Basics will be held Thursday, March 6 at the University Center-Rapid City in the Mac Lab, room 103. The workshop is divided into two sessions: the morning session, Website Basics, will be held from 9 a.m. to 12 noon and the afternoon session, Create a Website using WordPress, will be held from 1 p.m. to 4 p.m. The South Dakota Center for Enterprise Opportunity (SD CEO) has partnered with Chicken Creek Communications to bring this workshop to the University Center-Rapid City. "Publishing a website, no matter the method, is somewhat technical in nature and requires a certain level of technical comfort," says Dee Sleep, owner of Chicken Creek Communications. WordPress is a free, open-source content management system. Initially developed for blogging, it is now used extensively for static website creation as well. According to Google Trends, more than 25% of all websites use WordPress. Sleep has operated the Chicken Creek Communications graphic design, marketing and publishing company in Spearfish for over 10 years. She is finishing her master&rsquos degree in journalism and has taught mass communication courses for BHSU and South Dakota State University. The morning session will give participants an overview of how websites work. Topics will include: how to select and secure a domain name how to choose a host provider how to transfer files for online access how to organize your site an overview of graphics file formats and resolutions how search engines find websites how to track site visitors and the various methods of website creation. The afternoon session will provide information on creating a website using WordPress. Topics will include: navigating the WordPress dashboard integrating content using pages and posts selecting a theme/design adding functionality using plugins and widgets uploading images implementing a blog on your site and more. "This seminar is ideal for those who want to create or take control of their own website," says Sleep. Participants can attend one or both sessions. The cost of each session is $59, or both sessions for $99. To register or learn more visit www.BHSU.edu/SDCEO or call Brittni Skipper, program assistant, at 605-642-6435.

|Keep It Simple, Stupid
Size of text in replies when showing threadsby jdporter (Canon)
|on Nov 13, 2009 at 00:02 UTC ( #806834=monkdiscuss: print w/replies, xml )
|Need Help??
Moderately observant readers will no doubt have noticed that, when viewing any "thread" (a node and its replies), the replies are displayed in a font smaller than the top node. It is being done with a hard-coded <font size="-1"> in HTML.
This has been done since time immemorial, but we're not ones to be enslaved to tradition. There has been some commotion, over the years, to eliminate this hard-coded font size setting. Users who want to do something special with their font sizes should be free to adjust their on-site CSS to do so.
Before we eliminate this rather inflexible style enforcement... Does anyone have any arguments why it should not (or should) be done?

General Strategy
In general, your initial strategy should be to kill low level monsters, seeking out anything which can mitigate your initial attack penalty; level 1 meat men will do 0 damage to you. Any shop items which reduce damage are of special interest to monks. A platemail or mage plate will bring your resistance up to an insane 70%.
After the first few levels, monks should seek out higher level enemies with low damage and high health. Because of monks' faster healing and high armor, they can often refill health via exploring without the monsters having enough time to do the same.
Glyphs of special interest to Monks are:
Race and Deity Choices
Playing as a human to compensate for the hand to hand penalty is typically the best choice. Attack damage bonuses have a higher proportional effect for monks due to the lower initial damage.
Monks are incredibly effective fighters once their attack penalty is canceled out, but the value of their health can make sacrificing HALPMEH and LEMMISI too painful to make Taurog a strong choice. The Pactmaker is an excellent choice for any class, Monks included. Going after Tikki Tooki is practically a deathwish that will end up stripping you of your resistances, as is Jehora Jeheyu. Dracul is also surprisingly useful in non-Crypt challenge levels, as the combination of Bloodshield and Bloodhunger turns you into an even bigger defensive powerhouse.
Poison Monk Strategy
Because of the monk's resistance, it has a heightened ability to survive first attacks. This means you can, upon finding APHEELSIK, wear down higher level monsters with up to twice as much attack as other characters! Using your spare mana for BURNDAYRAZ (or BYSSEPS or CYDSTEPP) plus taking advantage of your double HP regeneration you can level catapult in greater comfort than other classes.
Challenge Modes
Snake Pit
Due to the anti-melee properties of all monsters here, this is a very difficult challenge for the monk. You'll require a good combination of skills and gods. Once such combination is HALPMEH and Glowing Guardian, possibly coupled with BYSSEPS or CYDSTEPP if you can find them. HALPMEH will quickly earn you piety as you take out Gorgons up to 3 (!!) levels higher than yourself. You'll be able to gain Absolution around level 7, which will enable you to take out Jormungandr fairly easily. Use HALPMEH to undo his poison, and level-up midfight if you can. It's easy enough to get a few piety points from Glowing Guardian to offset having to kill lower-level monsters for that level-up, in fact if you get the Guardian early enough, you might even be eligible for a healing which will help greatly against either boss.
Naturally, buying Immunity from Death Gaze will make this dungeon significantly easier. Don't waste your money on Immunity from Poison if you can find HALPMEH. If you can't find it, it's not likely that you can win the level anyway.
Also, consider switching Human for Dwarf, as the extra health will come in handy.
Another viable strategy is to pick up BURNDAYRAZ as soon as possible and use it to soften up higher-level enemies. If you pick Human and focus on increasing your attack damage (eg. Fine Sword), you can usually take out Gorgons 1-2 levels above. Avoid Nagas and to some extent, Serpents unless taking them out levels you up. The general advice to pick Dracul for Bloodshield and Bloodhunger works well here. If you manage to find APHEELSIK, the Poison Monk strategy would also go well with this.
Total key here is Taurog. Not only he will boost your low damage, he will also remove Tormented One's insane defenses. Begin to worship early, convert all your glyphs and accumulate enough piety to gain Fury and Penetration boon. Due to your high defense and increased regen you can explore during battles to outlast any given foe around 2 levels higher than you - experiment a little and you will see. Level up to 7 lvl, and begin to smack the Tormented One. He will succumb quickly to your attacks. Same goes for Frank, but you can also use potions here to speed up the process.
You can also use HALPMEH for benefit - kick enemy, explore 1-2 tiles and heal, then kick again. Monk is about endurance and outlasting foes, after all. If you rely on HALPMEH - consider Glowing Guardian as option to hit enemy a little bit more times.
If you manage your health, mana and xp cleverly you'll have both bosses defeated before coming near level 9. You can even kill the Tormented One without his defenses breached, but in this case you're going to need HALPMEH and Soul Orb to protect you from mana burn.
After a few levels you can easily defeat Dragonspawns 2-3 levels above you with fast regeneration. Having HALPMEH and/or LEMMISI will make things even easier. If neither of those is found, you can use fireballs to accumulate damage.
On Level 7 you will be able to defeat the Matron of Flame without even touching your potions (assumed, you have a few tiles to regenerate). Afterwards Aequitas won't be much of a challenge either.
Once you have reached level 3-4, the combination of high armor and fast regeneration should make it fairly easy to kill higher level animated armors. Attack the highest level animated armor you can that cannot kill you in one hit. The assistance of BURNDAYRAZ will make this more efficient, though HALPMEH or LEMMISI are a reasonable substitutes.
Super Meat Man is rather easy to defeat with monk, especially if you have bought the tower shield or platemail. Try to be at level 8 or higher before fighting the bosses. It should be possible to heal (via some mixture of HALPMEH, LEMMISI, and exploring) faster than Super Meat man can damage you.
The Iron Man doesn't have much health, so killing him should be fairly easy. You should still have most or all of your potions at this point, but you may want to time this fight to enable you to level up in the middle of it to assist further.

Liberation Of Skyrim
Liberation Of Skyrim is available only if the player decides to join the Stormcloaks as part of the Civil War Quests. It occurs after the Battle For Whiterun and is an ongoing quest that spans several quests until the questline's completion.
- Return to Ulfric Stormcloak
- Liberate Falkreath
- Return to Ulfric
- Liberate The Reach
- Return to Ulfric
- Liberate Hjaalmarch
Head back to Ulfric in Windhelm and commend your efforts by gifting you with a leveled weapon and a promotion. You are now to seek out the Falkreath Stormcloak camp and await further orders from Galmar Stone-Fist.
To Liberate Falkreath, you must complete Rescue From Fort Neugrad.
Upon completing that quest and returning to Ulfric, you must help liberate The Reach. In order to do so, you must visit the Stormcloaks' camp in The Reach and complete the quests Compelling Tribute and The Battle For Fort Sungard.
Return once again to Ulfric to earn your promotion and another token of his gratitude. Your intervention has been instrumental in gaining ground in this war. Continuing on, you are to now drop by the Hjaalmarch Stormcloak Camp and receive further instructions from Galmar. This begins A False Front, which then leads to The Battle For Fort Snowhawk.
Finally, complete The Battle For Fort Hraggstad and Battle For Solitude to complete both Liberation Of Skyrim and the Civil War questline.

The Department of Craniofacial Biology is in the process of developing its own program in Oral and Craniofacial Biology Research (POCBR). The goal of the program is to help develop quality students into highly skilled, interactive scientists and teachers who can successfully address the expanding oral health research needs in dental, oral and craniofacial biology. Students are trained to approach research in a responsible, professional manner by being provided a firm foundation in basic science knowledge with the emphasis on how to critically evaluate and synthesize primary research literature. The current basic science Ph.D. degree granting programs that participate in the POCBR have a documented record of success given this philosophic approach to graduate education.
The Research Training Faculty members are active principal investigators on major NIH or equivalent peer-reviewed grants with stable patterns of funding. They have major research interests in areas of oral, dental and craniofacial research, and appointments in the University of Colorado Denver (UCD) Anschutz Medical Campus or UCD Downtown Campus graduate schools in Boulder.
Graduate students are expected to fulfill the specific academic requirements at the UCD Anschutz Medical Campus or UCD Downtown Campus graduate schools in Boulder, successfully complete required and approved elective courses; participate in laboratory rotations, seminar series and journal clubs, and demonstrate independence, responsible conduct, and critical thinking. Their Ph.D. thesis reflect completion of a body of research that constitutes a significant contribution of new knowledge to the field of oral and craniofacial biology.
Postdoctoral trainees who are interested in further training in Oral and Craniofacial Biology may apply directly to participating faculty members.

Tour Ólafur Darri Ólafsson's Homes in Iceland
The actor, whose credits include The Secret Life of Walter Mitty and True Detective, tells us about his favorite spots in his Icelandic apartment and scenic summer home.
Keep in mind: Price and stock could change after publish date, and we may make money from these links.
August 14, 2015
By: Susan Hornik
Summer House: Exterior
When he's not acting, Ólafur Darri Ólafsson (who you may remember as the hilarious drunken pilot in The Secret Life of Walter Mitty) splits his time between his Iceland apartment and his parents' summer house, seen here.
"There is a lovely view from the summer house all the way out to sea," Ólafur says. "A lot of Icelanders have 'summer' houses, as they are called. It has to be said that most of them are also used in winter."
A view from the veranda. Despite its name, Ólafur says his favorite time to visit the summer house is mid-winter. "It is so cozy when you can just stay indoors, reading a book, while the really bad weather and long hours of darkness are outside," he notes.
Dining Area
A casual dining area opens to the home's large wraparound deck.
Living Room
The small but cozy living room features a large window to showcase the home's stunning views.
A view of the summer home's guesthouse and hot tub. "It's really lovely to use it, especially in winter," Ólafur says.
Ólafur's other home is what he calls "the typical Icelandic apartment." Pictured here is the view from the balcony. "On a clear day you can see forever," he says.
Living Area
Red is one of Ólafur's favorite colors for home decor, as seen in this sitting area with a red velvet couch handed down from his girlfriend's grandparents. "This is my girlfriend's favorite piece of furniture," he says, "It took me a while, but I think it is quite lovely now."
Displayed in the living room, this sculpture was created by Ólafur's high school classmate, Halla Gunnarsdottir. "I went to her studio and saw a much bigger version of the sculpture, which I really loved, but was far too big for my apartment," he says. "A couple of months later, she called and said she had made a smaller version of the sculpture and asked if I would like to see it. It was love at first sight!"
Daughter's Bedroom
Ólafur's daughter's bedroom features a wealth of stuffed animals, books and other toys. "I just bought the car at a flea market in Madagascar," he says.

April Cattle Placements In Feedlots Down
The April Cattle on Feed report said the number of cattle on feed in large feedlots at the start of the month was down 1.0 percent compared to last year. This was the 21st consecutive month that the on-feed number has been below the year earlier level. USDA said April placements of cattle into feedlots were down 4.9 percent. April marketings by feedlots were down 2.0 percent. The average of pre-release predictions was for April placements to be down 3.2 percent, April marketing down 2.1 percent and the May 1 on feed number to be down 0.8 percent. The lower placements makes the report slightly bullish.
Retail beef prices were record high in April for the third consecutive month. The average price of choice beef in grocery stores was $5.871 per pound. That was 15.1 cents higher than the month before and 64.7 cents higher than a year ago. The average retail price for all fresh beef was $5.496/lb, also record high for the third month in a row. The 5 market average fed cattle price during April, $147.20/cwt., were down $2.60 from the record set the month before, but up $19.70 compared to April 2013.
USDA said that 23 percent of U.S. pastures were in poor or very poor condition on May 11, up 1 point from the previous week, but down from 33 percent poor or very poor a year ago.
Fed cattle sales volume was good this week. Through Thursday, the 5-area average price for slaughter steers sold on a live weight basis was $146.95/cwt, down $3.07 from last week's average, but up $22.16 from a year ago. The 5 area average dressed price for steers was $234.06/cwt, down $1.99 for the week, but up $34.30 from the same week last year.
Beef prices were higher this week. This morning the boxed beef cutout value for choice carcasses was $226.72/cwt, up $2.83 from the previous Friday and up $17.76 from a year ago. The select carcass cutout is $217.00/cwt, up $3.83 from last week.
This week's cattle slaughter totaled 591,000 head, down 1.5 percent from the previous week and down 9.6 percent from the corresponding week last year. Cattle slaughter is on a pace to be the lowest for any May in over 25 years. The average dressed weight for steers slaughtered the week ending on May 3 was 840 pounds, down 1 pound from the week before, but up 1 pound compared to the same week last year.
Feeder cattle prices at this week's Oklahoma City auction were mostly $2 to $4 higher. This week's prices for medium and large frame #1 steers by weight were: 400-450# $228.50-$257, 450-500# $220-$243.50, 500-550# $222-$234, 550-600# $205-$223, 600-650# $194-$218, 650-700# $186.50-$202, 700-750# $184-$197.50, 750-800# $181-$193.50, 800-900# $172-$186.35, and 900-1000# $162-$173.50/cwt.
The June live cattle futures contract closed at $137.90/cwt today, down 15 cents from last week's close. August fed cattle settled at $138.37, up 17 cents for the week. The May feeder cattle contract ended the week at $187.30/cwt, up $2.73 for the week. August feeders closed at $193.32/cwt. ∆

It would seem that Internet fakes are the hobby du jour -- the end product of a technologically-savvy society unburdened by civic responsibility; trite gags orchestrated out of the boredom that comes with an apathy for things like world wars or great depressions.
Not so. Hoaxes has been perpetrated ever since man (Adam) got bored being honest -- from the time conspirators claimed Napoleon was dead in order to inflate the London stock market, to the late '80s, when Sports Illustrated convinced hordes of readers they had discovered a reclusive Mets prospect named Sid Finch, who could throw a baseball 168 mph.
It must have been fun in the pre-Internets age, when a newspaper could run a story of wild animals running amok in New York City (like the Herald did) and citizens, having no other means of garnering information, took up arms to protect themselves. But media outlets are a bit more savvy these days (employing hard-nosed tactics like sourcing and fact checking), and trickery has gone viral. Think of the Internet like the biggest group of drunk people sitting around a campfire, spewing urban legends. Tons have been fooled by a spattering of well-made viral videos, which, in turn, has led to increased suspicion surrounding anything even remotely unbelievable. Fake or real -- who knows? We do… we think.
Clumsy Waitress Falls Through Window
Facts: Most closed-circuit cameras don't have microphones; this shouldn't be as funny as it is; I was a waiter for three days, and it's hard work.
Real? Fox News thinks (or at least hopes) so. They included it in the "Fox News Blast" feature on their Website.
Fake? Everyone points to the fact that "that's not how real glass breaks" suggesting that falling through a plate glass window is a much more common threat than anyone thinks.
Conclusion: FAKE. And an obvious one, but what's interesting is that no one knows the origin. Some people say it's a commercial, but what are you trying to sell with women falling through windows? Tampons? Yeah, it's probably tampons.
Kid Lies Under Train
Facts: Trains go really fast.
Fake? It seems like the stuff of plausible, but fictitious urban legends, like Big Foot and the Miami-Dade Drug Enforcement Agency. Plus, there are no trial runs for this trick: You'd think the kid would be a little happier to be alive.
Real? No very obvious video splices, and yes, a person can fit between a train and the tracks. But without knowing whether a loose break line or stray scrap of metal is hanging down or not, it is a true death wish.
Conclusion: FAKE. No way it can be real, if for no other reason that if the kid really had balls big enough to handle it, they would no doubt have gotten in the way of the oncoming locomotive.
My Sister Freaks Out
Facts: The girl wanted a blue car; that car is red.
Fake? Even The Hills is a bit scripted. Um, okay. Maybe more than just a bit scripted.
Real? Paris Hilton is unscripted.
Conclusion: FAKE. It's a very well made promotion by Domino's Pizza. Four videos were created for the series, and the final video contained a link to their "Anything Goes" deal. Yes, they may make the worst pizza in the world, but they have an uncanny knack for random, viral marketing.
Pull-ups on Crane
Facts: The crane is being used for the construction of Axa Tower, the tallest skyscraper (790 feet) in La Défense, Paris; I'm having trouble typing because my palms are so sweaty.
Fake? No one can fake being this stupid, ballsy, or French. The first guy has a backpack which could at least be a base-jumpers parachute, but the second frog is clearly not sporting any safety device.
Real? Seriously, my fingers are slipping on the keyboard.
Conclusion: REAL. No proof of green-screen usage can be found. These guys are just that insane.
Who Needs a Video?
Facts: Fred and Sharon have a personal Website; it costs $1 to access all their videos...which are on YouTube for free; their Website is registered to a man named Rob Korbynn; Fred and Sharon are the two worst public speakers ever.
Fake? I've seen reanimated corpses less deadpan than Sharon. It's a miracle she has navigated the tricky byways of life for 50 years with those communication skills.
Real? You can't fake that kind of hilarity.
Conclusion: REAL. It's genuinely bad. If it was a large-scale marketing scheme, they wouldn't release so many random, unrelated videos, or pettily charge for access to the Website. Advertisers aren't that smart.

Towards the end of last year, I traveled all the way to Los Angeles to speak at the Blog World Expo LA event. It was a HUGE event with around 4,000 attendees, the biggest event of it's kind in the world.
It was a really amazing experience, and I met some really fantastic people. And of course, among other things, I was given the opportunity to present my ideas during a one hour presentation on the topic of how to become rich and famous on YouTube (see video above).
The video is quite a bit longer than my normal videos, but I wanted to provide you with some GREAT value. Let me know below whether you like this kind of thing every now and then by leaving your comments and thoughts below…

Encouraging adversaries to have more interpersonal contact to find common ground may work on occasion, but not necessarily in the U.S. Senate, according to new research.
Racial attachments are understood to be socially constructed and endogenous to gender, socioeconomic, and religious identities. Yet we know surprisingly little about the effect of such identities on the particular racial labels that individuals self-select. In this article, I investigate how social identities shape the racial labels chosen by biracial individuals in the United States, a rapidly growing population who have multiple labeling options.
Lawyers keep the gates of public justice institutions, particularly through their roles in formal procedures like hearings and trials. Yet, it is not clear what lawyers do in such quintessentially legal settings: conclusions from past research are bedeviled by a lack of clear theory and inconsistencies in research design. Conceptualizing litigation work in terms of professional expertise, I conduct a theoretically grounded synthesis of the findings of extant studies of lawyers' impact on civil case outcomes.
In this article, I share some thoughts about how we might extend the study of mental health inequalities by drawing from key insights in sociology and sociological social psychology about the nature of inequality and the processes through which it is produced, maintained, and resisted. I suggest several questions from sociological research on stratification that could help us understand unexpected patterns of mental health inequalities.
Social psychology offers abundant opportunities for developing new understandings through research. In my career, many people and circumstances have brought opportunities that initiated, supported, and improved investigations. I illustrate that process with selected instances from my research on interpersonal behavior, theory development, and applications of theoretical work. Our field demonstrates many ways that explicit theory is preferable to common sense, and it also shows the importance of caution and discipline in applying theoretical knowledge for practical ends.
How do people feel when they benefit from an unfair reward distribution? Equity theory predicts negative emotion in response to over-reward, but sociological research using referential standards of justice drawn from status-value theory repeatedly finds positive emotional responses to over-reward.
Research documents that lenders discriminate between loan applicants in traditional and peer-to-peer lending markets, yet we lack knowledge about the mechanisms driving lenders' behavior. I offer one possible mechanism: When lenders assess borrowers, they are implicitly guided by cultural stereotypes about the borrowers' status. This systematically steers lenders toward funding higher status groups even when applicants have the same financial histories.
The article provides a micro-behavioral model and an experimental design to understand the effect of heterogeneity in social identities on cooperation while accounting for endogenous sorting. Social identity is induced exogenously using the minimal group paradigm. The experiment manipulates sorting with three treatments: having subjects interact with both in- and outgroup members, giving them the choice to interact either with ingroup or outgroup members, and isolating the groups from the outset.
Existing research emphasizes the importance of group identification and perceived similarity in the development of group consciousness. Intersectionality suggests that for many women, a political consciousness of gender may also stem from experiences with race, ethnicity, and sexuality and may be interconnected with a consciousness of other forms of inequality. This study analyzes data from a recent national survey to investigate how race, ethnicity, and sexuality intersect with women's gendered political consciousness.
I report the results of a laboratory experiment in which I examine the relationship between cognitive categorization processes and status-organizing processes, focusing on how seemingly irrelevant information becomes relevant to the informational structure of a task situation. In phase one, participants completed a task in which they were primed with photographs of women occupying either stereotypical or counter-stereotypical roles. In phase two, participants, along with a partner, completed a collective decision-making task.

1. Packers quarterback Aaron Rodgers was held without throwing a touchdown during this week's Monday night loss to the Seahawks, marking the first time since Week 3 of the 2011 season that has happened. Green Bay has clearly failed to move the ball as consistently as they did last season and Rodgers currently sits as the 24th ranked fantasy quarterback. With plum matchups against the Saints and Colts on tap, the odds are that Rodgers will end his slump with a pair of solid outings. However, it is worth noting that dating back to last season, Rodgers has thrown for under 300 yards in five of his last six regular season starts and looking further back, eight of his last eleven starts.
2. Another stud performer who has had an uneven start to the 2011 season is Cardinals wide receiver Larry Fitzgerald. Once again suffering from the poor performance of the team's quarterbacks, Fitzgerald has caught just 14 of his 25 targets for 181 yards and a touchdown. However, he had a solid performance with Kevin Kolb at quarterback this week, catching all nine of his targets for 114 yards and a touchdown. That has to be considered an encouraging sign since the two failed to be on the same page since the early part of the 2011 season.
3. Sticking with Fitzgerald, he became the youngest player to top 700 receptions, doing it just after his 29th birthday which was on August 31st.
4. Here's to Lions head coach Jim Schwartz and all the fantasy football owners who lost this week because Schwartz failed to trot out Jason Hanson for a chip shot field goal during overtime of the Lions loss to the Titans. Rather than kick the tying field to extend overtime, the Lions ran a quarterback sneak inside the Titans 10-yard line with Schwartz later claiming there was a communication error on the play. Nothing like throwing your quarterback under the bus, coach.
5. If you are looking for a buy low candidate at running back, one option has to be the Rams Steven Jackson. Sjax has had a slow start to the season, struggling in Week 1 against the Lions, suffering a groin injury that cost him most of Week 2 and then struggling while playing hurt this past week against a stiff Bears defense. With a pair of solid run defenses up next in the Seahawks and Cardinals, the road doesn't get any easier for the Rams main offensive threat. However, those who drafted Jackson did it on the premise that the Jeff Fisher led team would run the ball plenty (which they have) and on Jackson's distinguished performance over the past seven seasons. During that time, he has topped 1,000 rushing yards every year and averaged 1,605 total yards per season while topping 1,300 total yards six times.
6. Here is a toast to the high-flying Tennessee Titans. What's that, you say? During the Titans overtime win over the Lions this week, Tennessee became the first team in the history of the NFL to score five touchdowns of 60 or more yards in a single game.
7. Sticking with the Titans, quarterback Jake Locker didn't look quite ready for primetime during the team's thrashing losses to the Patriots and Chargers to open the season with the Titans chalking up a combined 23 points. However, he had a career outing this week against the Lions, despite the continued struggles of running back Chris Johnson, throwing for 378 yards and a pair of touchdowns while completing 29 of 42 passes. Locker makes for an interesting QB2 and a solid prospect in dynasty leagues due to the presence of a number of solid young playmakers at wide receiver and tight end coupled with Johnson's continued struggles, which now date back to the latter stages of the 2010 season.
8. And if you are wondering whether Johnson is a buy low candidate, you might want to think again. Over his past 21 regular season starts, Johnson has topped 100 rushing yards just four times while averaging 9.6 points per game.
9. With his first rushing touchdown of the season this week against the Colts, Jaguars running back Maurice Jones-Drew eclipsed Fred Taylor's franchise record for rushing touchdowns with 63 during just his 7th season in the league. That is an impressive accomplishment considering that MJD spent the first three seasons of his career backing up Taylor and the sorry state of the franchise during his time in Jacksonville.
10. Opening the season, the San Francisco 49ers were the overwhelming favorites to win the NFC West but they now sit a game behind the 3-0 Arizona Cardinals and tied with the 2-1 Seattle Seahawks. Both the Cardinals and Seahawks feature upper tier defenses that while not yet comparable to the 49ers, have helped their organizations quickly close the gap on San Francisco. With their win this week over the Eagles, the Cardinals are now a very impressive 10-2 over their past 12 games dating back to last season while the Seahawks are 7-4 over their last 11 regular season games.
11. Rashard Mendenhall owners can thank Isaac Redman for letting the cat out of the bag during the Steelers Week 4 bye as to who was going to be starting for the team when they return to action in Week 5. Redman told the Pittsburgh Tribune that the Steelers were looking for Mendenhall to come in and "be the feature guy". With 195 rushing yards over the first three games and a 2.6 yards per carry average, look for Mendenhall to resume his starting role during the Steelers Week 5 home game against the Eagles.
12. Giants backup running back Andre Brown gave New York's rushing attack a jolt this week with his 113-yard, two-touchdown performance over the Panthers. That game brought Brown's yearly totals to 33 carries for 184 yards and three touchdowns. While the common assumption is that Ahmad Bradshaw will remain the team's starter and that is likely an accurate assessment, there are certainly major question marks as to how the workload will be split up over the balance of the season. With Bradshaw leading the rushing attack in 2011, the Giants finished last in the league in average rushing yards per game and in average yards per carry. While some of those poor results could be laid at the feet of the departed Brandon Jacobs, Bradshaw was also to blame as his career low 3.9 average yards per carry attests. Throw in his inability to stay healthy and it is safe to assume that Brown is in line for a healthy dose of carries over the balance of the season, provided he can hold off 1st round pick David Wilson.

Northwestern routs Illinois 50-14
Wildcats appear headed for New Year's Day bowl game
Northwestern 50, Illinois 14: Kain Colter threw a career-high three touchdown passes and ran for another as the host Wildcats regained possession of the Land of Lincoln Trophy.Venric Mark rushed for 127 yards - his eighth 100-yard game of the season - and a touchdown as the Wildcats (9-3, 5-3 Big Ten) finished the regular season with two straight victories and appear headed for a New Year's Day bowl game. Colter, who had only five touchdown passes entering the game, was 9-of-11 for 102 yards and also ran for 88.Donovonn Young ran for 74 yards and a score for the Fighting Illini (2-10, 0-8), who finished the season on a nine-game losing streak and extended their conference slide to 14 contests. Starting quarterback Nathan Scheelhaase was 9-of-14 for 91 yards and an interception while backup Ryan O'Toole had a touchdown run.Illinois hardly resembled the worst team in the Big Ten when it took the opening kickoff and went 78 yards on 11 plays, capped by Young's 15-yard touchdown run. Northwestern went ahead for good 10-7 in the first quarter when Colter's 2-yard scoring run came two plays after C.J. Bryant forced Justin Green to fumble on a kickoff return at the Illini 19.Colter left briefly with 29 seconds left in the first quarter with a leg injury and was replaced by Trevor Siemian, who was intercepted by Terry Hawthorne on the next play. The Wildcats regained possession on the ensuing play when David Nwabuisi picked off Scheelhaase, and two plays later, Colter connected with Tony Jones for a 9-yard touchdown.After O'Toole's 12-yard run brought Illinois to within 17-14, Northwestern answered with an 11-play, 79-yard drive and Mark's 3-yard scoring run with 6:13 left in the second quarter en route to a 27-14 halftime lead. Colter added touchdown passes to Tyris Jones (15 yards) and Paul Jorgensen (24) in the third quarter.GAME NOTEBOOK: Northwestern entered the game with a plus-11 turnover margin, second-best in the Big Ten, while Illinois was a conference-worst minus-10. The Illini had four turnovers Saturday compared to two for the Wildcats. ... Mark entered the game as the fifth-leading rusher in the Big Ten at 105.0 yards per game. ... Illinois leads the series 54-47-5, although the teams have split four meetings since the Land of Lincoln Trophy was created in 2009.

Tagged: Albert Belle
Mr. Krause's Rejoice!
All it took was a new NFL collective bargaining agreement to make my globetrotting and oft voguish colleague, Mr. Allen Krause (9 year-old version pictured above), rejoice like he was at a Justin Bieber concert. Now that we know there will be football, Mr. Krause can use his soon-to-be Detroit Tigers disappointment as a perfect segue into yet another Detroit Lions season of disappointment.
The world will be good.
Still, I have a hard time congratulating a group of unionized millionaires on doing what they should have done to begin with. I know the owners were skimming and scheming, but these things need to be addressed and taken care of PRIOR to a lockout, PRIOR to pissing off a Joe Six-Pack fan base, PRIOR to holding my sports news hostage.
Look, I nearly died in '94. I was crushed like a man forced to watch his lover in bed with another man. I went so far as to QUIT baseball for the entire 1995 season. If it weren't for an Albert Belle sized tub of syringes and a jheri curl renaissance, I might still be hootin' and hollerin' over the CICL.
But, as is usually the case, no one cares how we, the fans, feel. As long as we keep schleppin' out the dough, sports franchises and the athletes who make them will continue to spit on us. Because they can.
And, I can attest, a certain Mr. Krause would be the very first in line with a pocketfull of benjamins for some Matt Stafford lugeys.
Hate me. It's cool. Just don't hate me 'cuz I'm right.

The Senate voted unanimously to approve funding to put air traffic controllers back to work. NBC News' Tracie Potts reports.
The Senate moved quickly Thursday evening to help ease the Federal Aviation Administration's ability to handle automatic spending cuts set forth in the sequester.
Senators unanimously approved the "Reducing Flight Delays Act of 2013" — a patch to fix the deep cuts that have furloughed air traffic controllers and delayed flights across the country.
The bill gives the FAA authority to spend up to $253 million of money already in the FAA's budget — but not allocated to pay for other things -- to keep employees on the job and make sure more flights a on time.
It was passed by unanimous consent, which means no senator objected.
The House could take the bill up tomorrow and pass it with 2/3 support of that chamber.
All of this was a last minute scramble to avert a crisis that was becoming more and more politically problematic by the day.
The rush was inspired by the looming congressional recess, which lasts all next week. Many senators are leaving were set to leave town Thursday night and Friday.
Damian Dovarganes / AP
Travelers stand in line at Los Angeles International airport in Los Angeles Monday, April 22, 2013. It was a tough start to the week for many air travelers as flight delays piled up when thousands of air traffic controllers were forced to take an unpaid day off because of federal budget cuts.
