A Canadian judge recently ruled that a Toronto Muslim woman must take off her face veil while giving testimony in a sexual assault trial. This tension between public space and private religion comes up repeatedly in western urban centers where Muslim women increasingly occupy the pubic square. This time it happened in Toronto, but the issue arises regularly in western countries in the schools, workplaces and courtrooms that Muslims increasingly share with the majority population. At stake is whether a Muslim woman's choice to dress in accordance with her religious beliefs infringes upon "our way of life." (Photo: Sultaana Freeman testifies in court for right to wear a niqab on her Florida driver's license, 27 May 2003/pool)
While all can agree that identity, tolerance and religious freedom are important, advocates for the face veil emphasize the upholding of freedom while opponents focus on the face veil, or niqab, as a challenge to collective identity. Such tension between public expression of religion and collective identity is not new. It has even gone on for centuries in Muslim countries, where religious minorities feel the tension between acceptance and their need to adapt, in varying degrees, to a Muslim majority worldview. There is also a debate within Muslim communities about whether wearing the niqab is a religious requirement.
What seems problematic in the current debate, whether in Toronto or Milan, is the implication that Europeans and North Americans are willing to tolerate differences, but only up to a limit. Some differences seem too threatening for them to consider seriously. They seem to think some differences should be made invisible. Thus, and perhaps inadvertently, the opponents of the niqab - who see themselves as the defenders of collective identity - call into question another value and practice that is central to Western democracy: open dialogue in the public sphere.
Ever since the Enlightenment, Westerners have agreed that tolerance and open discussion in a public space helps prevent violence and fosters community. It is a proud tradition. The great moral effect of creating a public space was that people from different traditions, with different views and different styles of conversing, could join in a shared process. Tolerance - putting up with something you do not agree with - is understood here as an uncomfortable but necessary virtue.

Small Cool 2010: Matthew's Small Space with High Ceilings
Small Division # 13
Who Lives Here: Matthew, his partner and their two dogs: a Wheaton terrier and a miniature retriever.
Location: Philadelphia, Pennsylvania
Size: 989 square feet
What is your favorite element of your Small & Cool home? My favorite part of our apartment is the 13-foot ceilings. We have a ton of large original art and if it were not for finding this apartment, we would have never been able to fit our ever-growing collection. Between the two of us, and the dogs, living in such a small space (with so much furniture) would be a little claustrophobic; but the high ceilings give us the breathing room we need and the elbowroom to feel comfortable.
Thumbs Up Voting is only activated for 48 Hours — so don't delay!
Favorite element, continued: I honestly used to cringe when people walked in and commented first on the high ceilings and the marble fireplace (as they're the two elements we didn't bring to the party); but after living here for 6 months they have become my favorite too.
What was one of the biggest challenges you faced in furnishing your Small Cool home? Other then dealing with a 19 by 3 foot powder room, I would have to say the largest challenge was pairing down our lives in order to move here in the first place. Six months ago we moved from a large 4-bedroom house in south Philly to our current 1 bedroom apartment downtown. I'm a med student and thus on a tight budget, therefore we spent a long time collecting, visiting thrift shops, auction houses, and estate sales to find the perfect (and budget friendly) harmony, which reflected our likes and way of living. Moving here allowed us to concentrate our vision and forced us to decide what we really loved and used.

I live there! I'm sitting on that chair right now!
Is this an old post? It's telling me that thumbs up voting for this entry is closed.
Your living room is super cool! Not even close to my own aesthetic but wow, I can appreciate that! And your kitchen looks gorgeous, what I can see of it.
babyfish- thanks, I could have submitted 100 pictures but with a cut off of only 5 we had to be really selective
Love the lamp above the small dining table, where did you find that beauty?
I love the fireplace and that mirror is a beauty. The dark wood and black furniture and neutral walls are a handsome combo here.
Would of loved to seen the kitchen.
The bedroom could of been pulled together a bit more before photographing, not sure what is on the bed. Is that a throw or bedcover, it looks messy.
gmclean - it was an arco reproduction that I got at an auction outside of Philadelphia; however it didn't have a shade. I dont think anyone wanted to deal with it and I was able to win it for an unbeatable 2.50 cents. I searched high and low for a replacement shade and was able to find that the glass and chrome pendant light from west elm was able to be hacked on quite easily. The link for the pendant lamp is: http://www.westelm.com/products/a563/?pkey=cpendant-lamps-chandeliers
Loooooove your home! I love the mood you've created for your home and how everything flows so easily.
the place is great, the eames next to the sofa is simple but perfect placement.
obloha- when I was looking for the glass globe I have, I found that there was a company selling large acrylic domes for lighting in various sizes. I would start there. They may also do custom sizes.
Talk about good bones! Way cool home.
Just noticed you're using my photograph of the empire state building for the contest page: http://www.sxc.hu/browse.phtml?f=view&id=759112 Cool!
finally, i actually know someone who has submitted a post.
I LOVE it. The neutral, restrained color scheme is fantastic (especially over the fireplace--black, metal, mirror--you could've strayed but you didn't). The whole place is very stylish and masculine. Great job.
Thanks everyone for your wonderful comments ... and the trow on the bed, its our ode to 'people actually live here- I think some places (when they ready for photograph) appear to sterile to live...... that and our puppy is pulling on the trow from stage right- nothing stays folded for long in our house.
FYI: it's WheatEn Terrier, not WheatOn Terrier. (I wouldn't own any other kind!)
I love the large print in the first picture -- I love large typography works.
One word...stunning! Definitely gets my vote!
I really like this place. I generally dont like full mantles, but I love what you did there. I actually also love the glass globe on the repro Archo lamp, I would replace the bulb with an antique style bulb so that there is not such a glare when you have it lit: http://houseofantiquehardware.com/s.nl/sc.9/category.33/.f
Two trends that are in their waning phase, globe collections and those vertical black and white train maps. I like them, but they're becoming a bit ubiquitous.
Where did you get the black and white location scroll?
I want to see more, (very curious of what you did with the looooooong powder room) your place is gorgeous!
Love love love it. REALLY beautiful. Thanks for posting a link to the pendant lamp - answering questions before I had to ask.
Nice place w/ great bones - Very tasteful.
Just noticed the kinetic sculpture on the table next to the rad chair in the bedroom. Gimmie Gimmie.
LOVE the sofa and chair. where are they from?
Oh my. You have the most impeccable taste. You made it to my top three favorite entries in an instant. I can't even begin to tell you what I love most about your place.
The fur throw on the bed. (I have a similar one in white, fake fur, and I love it so much that I use it instead of a blanket. Delicious.)
The tree branches. (Tell me more about those please? I'm dying to do something similar in my home as I want to bring a touch of nature indoors but don't like the fact that it's so easy to kill plants or flowers.)
The metal flower thing (?) you have on your mantelpiece. Where in the world did you get that? I need it.
The pendulum clock. This is exactly what is missing in my life. Again, where did you get it, please? (I'm going to cry if you say it's a craigslist or fleamarket find, this is exactly what is missing in my life.)
I looked at it again.
I love your green desk chair. And I didn't even NOTICE the pendulum clock. It is out of control. I am in love.
One of my absolute favorites, but have to say... with all the great cameras out there now, I do not understand this year's "trend" to murky, hazy, looks-humid-and-dusty-in-there shots (sorry Matthew, et al.)
Maybe it's the high pollen count.
Very nice. My compliments.
Where did you get the long train scroll /sign ?
Definitely lovely and full of interesting things.
I would like to see the super-long powder room, and the "open closet system."
took another look at the pictures... did I mention that I LOVE your layout and that I am too dying to see the open closet system (I'm highly intrigued by the way it's set up according to the floor plan, in my imagination it looks amazing) and the powder room? House tour, please!
The big scroll came from a vintage shop in Harrisburg, PA. called the 'Atomic Warehouse'. Its worth the trip-- truly amazing. 2 floors of a warehouse filled with well priced mid century and vintage stuff (mostly furniture). Its owned by a guy that uses way too many words like 'killer', 'dude', 'thats rad' (www.atomicwarehouse.com). I loved it.
The tree branches came from one of the big storms this winter, a tree fell two blocks down and we carried them home. We wanted something that was tall (and cheap) to fill some of the high vertical space. The one in the kitchen is anchored in a vintage ice bucket and filled with left over rock salt
The upright clock is vintage, It looks like a few of the early eames but its unmarked. We found it in a local auction in 3 pieces and I had to replace the movement, and refinish it a bit-- again it was an amazing deal that no one wanted to take on. The base has a lamp built in that shines up to a luminate the pendulum. I have to say its pretty neat.
We have 3 stacked ikea 'omar' wire shelf systems in the first part of the 'bowling alley' powder room and it offers tons of storage with a very narrow footprint. And the floating ikea 'stolmen' closet system offers us like 25 feet of hanging space in a small foot print. However, again, we could only send in 5 pictures so our range was limited. I think I was way over zealous, and took 190 photos that I paired down to the 5 (all with our new, albeit pretty bad digital camera)
oh and I found the iron tree sculpture on the fireplace in my parents shed and immediately stole it.
Wow, your parents had a fireplace in their shed? Swanky!
Sorry, can never resist a little "Fun with Sentence Structure." Too much Electric Company as a kid, maybe. :)
my favorite so far!
patrick (the other one): HEE!! I have a similar tendancy. I blame Reading Rainbow, though.
Please, it's totally Schoolhouse Rock all the way.
Yeah, I think we need a full tour. I really want to see that 19' x 3' bathroom. That's wild!
sdblondie and matt--
You are:
Awe>> <<some.
Oops. Visual word joke trumped by web coding weirdness.
I feel old!
Wow...Matt your place is wonderful.
I wish my parents had a shed filled with vintage artwork. :(
This one is a grower. The more I look the more I love it. I generally do not consider 900 -1000st ft small (or anything over 600 actually) and generally don't vote for them because I am so jealous but I did vote for this ;). I love the location scroll as someone referred to it. Mainly because Newry is so prominent. This home is so stylish.
Looks very homely! I'm loving th plant holder beside the fireplace, very unusual and looks vintage but I'm hoping it's not. Where did you purchase it from?
Where'd you come across that listing of railroad stations? I live in Martinsburg and I'd love to get my hands on something similar.
I'm pretty sure AngelaDee76 meant that with the silent "L". :)
i love your home. thank you for sharing it.
Thanks for all the great nods! I very much appreciate it!
Angela the planter is vintage --- however they show up a lot on ebay, look for 'bullet planter'. They also currently sell a version on DWR with a slightly different base.
you are the 2nd entry with a bus scroll used as art.
very nice!
thanks coletta, the scroll is actually 15 feet long, however we can only display 7 feet at a time
I hate it when your "scroll" is too long to display all at once.
I made juar unnder the wire & voted. Love you. Auntie P
Very nice space. Love the arrangement. Matt, where did you get the wall hanging/ poster of PA cities?
i wish i could keep voting for this one. i just love it!
Matt, is it a faux pas to ask what price range the rent falls into and what neighborhood you're in? My husband and I are looking to move to Philly next summer and I am trying to get ideas of where we should look for rentals and what price is reasonable for the area/place. If anyone's got some good resources for that, I would love some links!
Also, I forgot to mention that I think your apartment is spectacular!
I do love the look of your place!

�The Blazers are exactly what their record states, a .500 team. They're 9-3 at home and they play a consistent gameplan of defense, offensive rebounding, and a slow pace. These factors coupled with the Bucks ranking dead last in the league in field goal percentage at 41.3% make for an aggressively low set total of 181.

Get out in transition, making Bogut run. LA is the far superior athlete. Who can get who into foul trouble first? Neither team can win tonights game without their big. Nic, Dre, Wesley, and even Rudy need to have an attacking mentality while on the floor. Protect the defensive glass and limit TOs

S10E12 – Get Up, Stand Up
"Failure is inevitability. Every scientist was told so. Over and over. The ones we remember, the ones who changed our lives. The Curie's, the Salk's, the Barnard's. They're the ones who wouldn't take "no" for an answer."
Very rarely do weddings in Shondaland go completely as planned without some type of crisis, misfortune, or disruption and the Season 10 winter finale is no exception to the rule, leaving the viewer's hanging on the edge of their couch cushions, eagerly hoping the next two months fly by! Oh Shondaland, how you torture us so!
As if one's wedding day isn't somewhat stressful enough, April's newly appointed bridesmaids don't help the matter when she ends up spending most of the day hunting them down, (comically) forcing them to put their personal matters aside to focus on her and her big day! Naturally this takes place after she witnesses Meredith and Cristina brutally battle it out, bashing one another for the faults they've recently acquired, having sworn they'd avoid in the past. Meredith has become progressively irritated with Cristina's recent acclaims for the successful surgery she performed on the infant, to which she has no clue exactly how she saved the infant's life. Cristina, meanwhile, points out that Meredith isn't the surgeon she once knew, having chosen her family over her career. The two continue bickering back and forth and before storming out of the room from one another, Meredith accuses Cristina of "becoming the thing you worship", to which Cristina responds, "And you've become the thing we laughed at." Ouch.
Arizona and Callie appear to be making some headway on repairing their marriage but over time throughout the episode, we see a brittle Arizona become more and more uneasy with Callie's growing excitement over her plans for her and Derek's brain mapping program to which Callie is hoping Arizona could potentially benefit from. In a moment of vulnerability, Arizona breaks down, (inconveniently enough in front of April on her wedding day) confessing to April she cheated on Callie because someone else was attracted to her, regardless of her amputated leg. Not long into April's (again comical) attempts at consoling Arizona, Meredith and Cristina barge in, picking up their argument where they left off. Turns out the two admit to one another the reason why they're growing apart is the same reason they became twisted sisters in the first place: competition! Before the two can call a truce, April goes Bridezilla on them all, telling them this is HER day and instead of fighting, crying and focusing on THEIR personal business, they should be focusing on HER instead. Way to go, April! You tell them whose boss…. er…. Bride!!
Meanwhile, Alex continues to work on making peace with his estranged father but not after a few shouting matches first. When Jimmy admits he did his best to be there for his family, Alex shouted back that "his best was worthless" and that because of Jimmy's alcoholism and abandonment, Alex had to be the man of the house. Later on, Alex visits Jimmy again and in a round-about way, thanked him for leaving their family because ultimately, they all turned out for the better because of it, especially Alex. Soon after, Alex and Jo meet up before April's wedding to which Alex tells Jo they are all the family they'll ever need, etc… smooch, kiss, embrace, etc… Hey, at least one couple on the show is getting a pleasant ending… so far!
Back at the hospital, Shane is playing Mr. I Can Do It All by fudging the amount of hours he logs per week to up the chances of him becoming Dr. of the Year. (OK, not really, but you get what I mean.) Cristina warns Shane to take a break in light of getting burnt out but Shane disregards Cristina's advice, clearly becoming more and more self-destructive than one could imagine. His assertive, arrogant attitude lands him in a difficult predicament when he goes rogue and attempts performing surgery on an ailing Jimmy by himself. Leah calls for help and when Richard arrives, Shane has flash backs to the super storm and admits he was at fault for Brooks' death. Richard takes over and attempts to save Jimmy's life and the last we see of Shane, he's standing in an elevator; covered in Jimmy's blood looking like he's ready to join the cast of One Flew over the Cuckoo's Nest.Read More
"Every doctor has a dirty little secret. We're all competitive science nerds. In grade school, we made the biggest and the best volcanoes which erupted actual fake molten lava. In junior high, we spent hours laboring over our rat mazes. So that one day, we'd be the person who changed the face of medicine. Forever."
Two words: Kepner. Overload. If you haven't already watched, be prepared because that's exactly what you'll get this episode and I'm not just talking about April. We're talking April times 3! April's sisters come to town to throw her a bridal shower however things don't go exactly as planned! Turns out April's sisters aren't quite what you'd expect them to be. IE: Generous, loving, accepting… blah, blah, blah. In fact, they're downright rude, especially to the bride-to-be herself! Since childhood, the Kepnerettes (as Sarah Drew calls them) dubbed April as Ducky (as in Ugly Duckling) since she spent most of her childhood embracing life with acne, braces, and following in the shadows of her more beautifully gifted sisters. It isn't until they've pushed April too far when they humiliate her at her own bridal shower when April finally gets the guts to stand up to her sisters and tell them enough is enough with this Ducky business! April is so ticked she even goes as far as firing them all from their bridesmaid duties and enlists her fellow co-workers Cristina, Meredith and Arizona to take their place! (I have to admit, I was pretty amazed and impressed with April's sudden outburst! Besides, her wedding will be way more fun with her new wedding party than the old one!) Side note: Anyone else get a major kick out of the expressions on Mer, Cristina and Arizona's faces when they heard the news? Pure comedy gold!
Meanwhile, Stud 1 and Stud 2 (aka Jackson and Matthew) finally break the awkward barrier that's been looming between the two over April and Matthew's upcoming nuptials. Kind of. Away from the hospital, the two randomly run into a victim in need of an emergency tracheotomy and it's Matthew that doesn't waste any time stepping up and taking care of the job. Only Jackson makes it blatantly obvious he doesn't approve. After the two guys go head to head on how one would've done the job better than the other, they somehow end on good terms with Matthew even going as far as insisting Jackson attend the wedding! Wait, wha?? Yep. Now it's a waiting game to see if Jackson actually attends… and how does it go? Speaks now or forever holds his peace?…
Alex's dad makes an unruly appearance in the episode when he shows up at the hospital in dire need of medical attention from trying to get clean. As luck would have it, Jo happens to be one of the first people Jimmy runs into but turns him away, insisting his efforts to get sober be taken up with a rehab center. As if on cue, Jimmy collapses and Owen gives orders that Jo take him on as a patient. Jo tries her hardest to help but when Jimmy goes into a withdrawal-induced rampage, he slams her against a wall, forcing Alex to step in and come to her rescue. Alex insists he leaves and goes to a rehab clinic where he belongs but it's Jo that insists Jimmy stay and try to get clean at the hospital. How long will Jimmy hold on without the alcohol and drugs now that he knows Alex is his son?
That awkward moment when you see Cristina and Shane in an on-call room. Yeah. The writers actually went there. Um, er… besides that….. Cristina, with a huge audience watching her every move during surgery, implants the 3D printed valve into her infant patient and at first the surgery looks unsuccessful. Simultaneously, Stephanie and Meredith are performing surgery a few ORs down the hall and implant their 3D printed portal vein into a sheep. That's right, a sheep. At first, their surgery looks to be successful to which Stephanie celebrates a little too soon. Later, Shane (who is extremely crabby at the thought of having lost to Meredith and Stephanie) begrudgingly congratulates Meredith for having won the "competition". Meredith, unamused with Shane's recent disrespectful 'tude, confronts Cristina on the matter to which Cristina becomes snippy, assuming Meredith is insinuating she is the reason for Shane's unpleasant demeanor. Still with me? Naturally as one would think, this causes the wedge between Meredith and Cristina to further widen, and the two end up fighting once again. Sigh. When will this feud ever end? Side note: Cristina and Shane's surgery was successful and saved the infants life while Stephanie and Meredith's surgery….well, didn't have the same result.Read More
CROWEN RECAP – 10 X 10 Somebody That I Used to Know
By: @Cinderoni
This was an episode where both Cristina and Owen were heavily featured but not much with each other. They had a total of one scene together. That is a slight improvement from the three episodes where they did not share a single scene. With such a large cast, one can expect that certain cast members have had minor appearances in some episodes. Not Cristina, who has prominently appeared in all 10 episodes this season, including the Callie-centric episode. I am going to expect that is going to continue since they would want to use the talents of Sandra Oh as much as possible before she leaves at the end of the season. Now on to the episode.
When first we see Owen, he is with Emma, who has graduated from baking banana bread to muffins. They are in a conference room. Apparently, Emma has come to Grey Sloan Memorial to work on her grant proposal. I don't know why she couldn't do that at Seattle Presbyterian. It is just trading one hospital conference room for another. They are looking for any excuse to try and bring her across to Grey Sloan for the day.
Owen tells her that if she needs anything, she should just call him. Emma replies that she doesn't need anything; she just needs to read everything that was ever written on mediastinal teratomas, crank out a grant proposal and all she needs is quiet. Owen chuckles. He says he can't promise too much quiet because she did say he could come visit. Emma says it would be the best part of the day. They share a peck on the lips.
Outside of the office leaning against the nurses' station are Callie and April, who can see clearly through the blinds of the office, so they can observe Owen and Emma. Cristina comes up and welcomes Callie back, who replies that it beats the hell out of a courtroom. Cristina notices Owen and Emma in the office but doesn't say anything.
Callie says that Emma brought muffins. April adds that it's her day off and she's doing homework. Cristina says incredulously, "In a hospital?" (Yeah, my reaction, too.) Callie replies that maybe Emma should go outside and see the world. As they flash on Cristina's face, the pain is evident on her face and she walks off. April whispers that she thinks it is kind of sweet. Callie agrees saying that it is adorable. They giggle. (Shut up, girls.)
Cristina apparently goes off to the PICU where Alex is with baby Nathan, Cristina's HLHS patient from Episode 8 – the baby with the congenital heart defect. In that episode, Cristina and Shane had taken possession of Meredith's 3D printer to try and print a bio-compatible conduit to help him.
Alex is now on the case with Cristina and he says that they have been treating Nathan with diuretics and beta blockers but he still has a lot of edema. Cristina says he will rally once they put in the graft, noting that Nathan has been in the PICU for three weeks.
Alex asks if they are done with all of the test prints. Cristina replies that they finished last night and Shane was now printing out the real one now. She then digresses and tells Alex that Emma was in the hospital with muffins. Alex answers if she wants to get rid of her. (Thank you, Alex for volunteering to do that. We know you have Cristina's back).
Cristina says no but she was glad that Owen's getting laid. Actually, she really doesn't seem happy about it because the words were hard to come out of her mouth. She continues that everyone should get laid. "I should be getting laid. My work suffers when I'm not. It's bad for humanity."
Alex doesn't want to talk sex with Cristina so he tells her to make up back with Meredith so she could handle that. Cristina tells him that he is being a priss and whether he doesn't talk about sex with his guy friends about who got the best rack in the shack. Alex admits, "Maybe."Read More
"The body is an infinitely complex mass of interacting systems. People like to think doctors see it all clearly. But it's not always obvious what's a hiccup in the system and what's full-on medical disaster. We figure that out in our first year of residency. We spend the rest of our careers lying about it."
Thanksgiving is but a few days away and the GSMH crew (or at least Meredith anyway) is busily making plans to celebrate the special day. Since Mer's cooking capabilities are, well, nonexistent, she's enlisted Owen's new lady to do the brunt of the work. Little does Emma know, the small gathering turns into quite the party when Meredith ends up inviting most of the Attendings and their significant others. Yikes! No pressure, Emma!
With Emma's presence in the hospital becoming more frequent, Cristina becomes increasingly antsy to pursue an interest of her own that's become fairly absent as of late. Since her and Mer are still on the outs (more on that later!) Cristina feels it necessary to express her need for, er… sexual encounters to someone that will listen, whether he actually wants to or not! That person: Alex! Alex, clearly uneasy about Cristina's choice in conversation with him, tells her flat out she just needs to get laid! Enter stage left, Shane who overhears the conversation and later offers to 'service her needs'. To all viewers' relief, Cristina immediately rejects Shane's proposition (thank goodness!) but later has second thoughts about what it is that Shane really offers… um, ew.
Callie and Arizona are on the mend but hit yet another rough patch when Arizona confesses to Callie she was involved with someone while they were separated. Taking the high road, Callie avoids getting angry and instead asks Arizona if whatever it was she had with the other person was really over. Arizona tells her yes although Leah doesn't exactly feel the same. As if things weren't awkward enough, Leah, Arizona and Callie are working on the same case together and in the OR, Leah panics at Callie's instructions on how to proceed with a surgical mishap. Leah demands that Arizona tell Callie to lighten up on her and with a look of realization and disappointment from Callie towards Arizona that could stop the clocks, Callie puts the pieces together and figures out Leah was the person Arizona was involved with. Arizona quickly apologizes to Callie yet again but insists that she won't keep doing so and that Callie can't keep playing the victim. Arizona continues on to say that if her and Callie are really going to try and work past their issues, she wants Callie to let her move back from the couch to their bedroom. Au contraire, my dear! Callie doesn't feel the same, at least now anyway, and insists she needs at least one more night to process the realization that's come to be.
April is busily tending to wedding duties, one of which includes nailing down the final guest list to her and Matthew's nuptials. In an awkward attempt to avoid inviting Jackson outright and hurting her hubby-to-be's feelings, April invites Stephanie "and a guest" instead. Later, Jackson confronts April and tells her that while she has his blessings to move forward with marrying Matthew, he will not be attending the wedding. Something tells me Jackson's intentions won't stand true. He'll be there I'm sure of it.
Bailey continues to struggle with her OCD issues and Ben has no interest in letting her fall victim to this evil disorder. Ben unintentionally leaks Bailey's situation to Derek who is forced to report her condition because he's on the board for the hospital. In an effort to avoid any additional stress from the hospital on Bailey, Ben tries talking to her to get her the break she needs to get help. Sadly, Ben's efforts are dismissed and Bailey wants to hear nothing of it. As a result, Owen later interrupts one of Bailey's surgeries and tries provoking Bailey's condition by using Meredith to rearrange her surgical instruments. Bailey freaks and gets kicked out of the OR, further proving her OCD is slowly getting the best of her and her career.
Richard continues his healing process and pushes himself to the limits to prove to both himself and the docs that he is more than ready to leave the hospital and continue healing at home. During a stress test, Richard ups the treadmill to a speed he can't keep up with and as a result, takes a tumble and breaks a rib, forcing him to stay hospitalized longer over the holiday season. Fortunately for him, he's got the interns there to keep him company!Read More
Howdy, Gabblers!!! Well, we had quite the episode this week didn't we? I have a lot of thoughts and feelings on this one. And I am glad that I have kept my bubble intact through the storyline thus far. I should prepare you that I may jump around scenes sometimes in this one! And yes, as much as overall I loved the episode; I do indeed have a few moments that I realize we have to give up timeline guessing for this to work.
So, are we ready? We open with Callie shopping for pantyhose and Callie has the opening monologue (Yay!!!) While she is losing it over the pantyhose we see flashbacks of a surgery and the last year of her and Arizona. Callie gets served during a presentation that she and Derek are doing about brain mapping. I really think that this mapping project is going to be something we see more of as the season progresses, and I wonder at some point if Callie and Derek will go to Arizona and ask if she wants to participate in a stage of it. Flashback to Mer's baby shower and Cristina tells Callie about Travis Reed…. an Olympic snowboarder that needs a new hip. Now, Cristina doesn't generally get attached to patients but this guy was her first valve replacement and she is invested in him. She tells Callie his heart is her Mona Lisa and not to screw it up. This is important because it lays the groundwork for some of Cristina's reactions as the case moves forward. And we get some happy Calzona…. Arizona has an adorable idea for decorating her onesie and she is disappointed there's no station. This from the woman that didn't like baby showers….. for me, it's an example of what being a Mom and wife has changed in her. Then, here it comes, the conversation that blew up my timeline….. Arizona wants another baby. And she wants to carry this one. Remember in S6 when Callie said Arizona didn't want a baby in her home or womb? So here's my thought on that: I'm not sure that it was ever that she didn't want children but that her fears about having them ruled her reactions. She did say she never wanted to see her child in her NICU (and that happened) but now that she is a Mom, she finds that more rewarding than the fear. Callie of course is on board, and very happily on board. Now is where I will insert my theory on when Callie says "What?" I see all the tweets about it and GIFs: here's my thought: she uses that as a way to process what she just heard for a second before she speaks. We know that Callie wears her heart on her sleeve; she doesn't hold back how she feels. So, when it is something big or intense, she says 'What?" to give herself an extra few seconds before she speaks. I do have more to say on the baby storyline but that will be part of my wrap up.
On to meeting Travis. And you can see that his relationship with Cristina is different, she laughs and let's herself be picked up and hugged. Then we see Travis get Callie on board, his speech about firsts absolutely appeals to the Rock star with a scalpel in Callie. Then we see her meet with her lawyers talking about the trial and what she has to wear, how she has to act. This is how Callie ended up shopping for panty hose. Of the list she was given, it was the easiest thing for her to focus in on. She can distract herself by going shopping for pantyhose.
Morning of the trial and Callie is getting ready when Arizona arrives to get Sofia. Now, this scene is one that really re-fired my Calzona hope up and here is why: One, they are having a completely civil conversation about Sofia and Arizona tells Callie that whatever she needs that day or evening is what they'll do. Also, you can see that there is a level of comfort in being in the same room returning. Callie doesn't stop getting ready; she just goes about doing what she needs to. Arizona sees her ring is on, yes, Callie says "they told me too" but considers this: It's not the last thing she does in getting ready; it's one of the first. Her hair isn't done, she isn't dressed, the panty hose aren't on but the ring is. That even if she won't admit it, there is some comfort in wearing it. And yes, Arizona was probably checking out Callie's legs tooRead More

Progressive Field, Cleveland, Ohio
W: J. Masterson (3-6)
L: J. McDonald (5-3)
S: C. Perez (21)
CLEVELAND -- The Cleveland Indians can't score for Justin Masterson, who gets less run support than any starter in the AL.He's found a way to deal with it."I've got to make sure no one scores," he said. "That's your job as the pitcher."Masterson pitched seven effective innings, working out of jams three times, and Cleveland snapped a three-game losing streak with a 2-0 win over the Pittsburgh Pirates on Friday night.Masterson (3-6) allowed four hits, struck out nine and ended his own three-game slide. He wriggled out of threats in the fourth, sixth and seventh innings, and got a huge defensive play from second baseman Jason Kipnis in the sixth.Vinnie Pestano worked the eighth and Chris Perez pitched the ninth for his major league-leading 21st save as the Indians bounced back after being swept in a series at Cincinnati. Perez, who always seems to make it interesting, gave up a leadoff single before getting a fly ball and game-ending double play.Carlos Santana hit an RBI double in the third off James McDonald (5-3), and Michael Brantley extended baseball's longest hitting streak this season to 22 games with a run-scoring single in the eighth."What streak?" Brantley said, afraid to jinx himself.The Pirates have lost four straight and were shut out for the sixth time this season.Masterson hadn't won since May 24, when he beat reigning AL MVP and Cy Young Award winner Justin Verlander 2-1. Masterson had dropped his previous three outings despite pitching well in two of them. He lost 2-0 in St. Louis in his last start, when he gave up one run in seven innings.The right-hander had the Pirates flailing at a wicked slider that slid across the plate and out of the strike zone. During one stretch from the second through fourth innings, he recorded seven consecutive outs with strikeouts."He was terrific," Indians manager Manny Acta said. "He had the best slider I've seen this year."For whatever reason, the Indians' offense struggles when Masterson is on the mound. He has received two or fewer runs in eight straight starts and 11 of 14 this season."Trust me, the offense is very well aware of that as I'm sure he is, too," Kipnis said. "We want to give him all the runs that he deserves. But after that series we just had in Cincinnati, for him to come out and give us that kind of start was tremendous."Masterson got into trouble in the fourth when the Pirates loaded the bases on a pair of walks and a single. But the 6-foot-6 Masterson struck out Jose Tabata on one of those filthy sliders to end the threat.In the sixth, he gave up a leadoff ground-rule double to Neil Walker, who advanced to third on Andrew McCutchen's groundout. Garrett Jones hit a soft fly to shallow right that Kipnis ran down with an over-the-shoulder catch. He then spun around and fired a one-hop throw to the plate to keep Walker at third.Masterson retired Casey McGehee on a grounder to Kipnis to end the inning."It was a phenomenal play," Brantley said of Kipnis' effort. "That was a big momentum shift right there."Danger loomed again in the seventh, and this time by Masterson's own wildness. He allowed a one-out walk, hit a batter with two outs and threw a wild pitch. But with runners at second and third, he got Alex Presley on a lazy fly to left and walked to the dugout to a thundering ovation from the Progressive Field crowd.Pirates manager Clint Hurdle said his young hitters tried to do too much against Masterson, expanding the strike zone when they had him on the ropes."Who's in trouble there?" he said. "We need to have a better understanding and awareness when we're in the (batter's) box. We worked outside our comfort zone. It is like, 'I've got a chance to be a hero here.' It has to be that you can be the guy if you get a good pitch and then hit it."McDonald was nearly as good as Masterson, allowing one run and three hits in six innings, but lost for just the second time in his last seven decisions.The Indians used a little luck to take a 1-0 lead in the third on Santana's perfectly placed double.Asdrubal Cabrera walked with one out, and with two down, he broke for second on a 3-2 pitch that Santana sliced down the third-base line, the ball barely skipping inside the bag and curling toward the tarp. Cabrera never slowed and scored without a throw as Santana scampered into second.Brantley's single in the eighth off Juan Cruz made it 2-0. Brantley's hitting streak is the majors' longest since Atlanta's Dan Uggla hit in 33 in a row last season.
Game notes
Indians broadcaster Tom Hamilton is leaving Saturday morning to see his son, Nick, play for Kent State in the College World Series in Omaha, Neb. Hamilton, who has been the team's "voice" for 23 seasons, said the Indians "just told me to go" and he'll stay with the Golden Flashes "as long as they're in it." Kent State plays Arkansas in its opener. ... The Indians signed OF Tyler Naquin and RHP Mitch Brown, their respective first- and second-round picks in this month's draft. ... Hurdle gave Indians RHP Ubaldo Jimenez a warm hug during batting practice. Hurdle was Jimenez's manager in Colorado from 2006-09. ... McDonald also has had poor run support. The Pirates have scored one or no runs in seven of his starts. He's 0-3 with a 2.06 ERA in those games. ... Pittsburgh is 3-19 in AL ballparks the last three years.

Swerving Through the Clouds in Amorgos, Greece
Taking a ferry to the easternmost of the Cycladic Islands in Greece will give you a chance to explore on a whole new level. By renting a motorbike in either the towns of Katapola or Aegiali, you can zip around the island's zigzagged roads. As you ascend the mountains overlooking the wine dark sea below, watch out for the multitudes of wild goats milling about in the road. They are often shrouded in clouds that are whipped against the cliffs by strong winds. And don't forget your international driver's license, a necessity to rent a kickin' set of wheels. Also, make sure to ride to the spectacular monastery of Hozoviotissa, located on a windswept rocky perch. Its caretakers kindly reward pilgrims with a shot or two of liquor after the long climb to the top.

TEAMS: New York Yankees, Boston Red Sox, Mississippi State Bulldogs
Sooner or later, someone was going to get around to comparing embattled New York Yankees' third baseman Alex Rodriguez to Texas A&M starting quarterback Johnny Manziel. Naturally, that someone had to be The Boston Globe columnist and Around the Horn panelist Bob Ryan. I'll save you the A*Rod stuff, as it's the usual regurgitation of blah, blah, blah, PEDs, blah, blah, blah, cheater, blah, blah, blah, fraud, blah, blah, blah...That you would expect from a Boston Globe reporter about a New York Yankee. No mention of Boston Red Sox designated hitter David Ortiz' alleged failed drug test in 2003, though. Shocking that. As for JFF, it's the average "no one here gets out alive" attack on the hypocrisy of the NCAA policies on student athletes, and on Manziel. "The Johnny Football thing is an insult to any intelligent person's intelligence. He signed his name 4,400 times out of the goodness of his heart? He is so mobbed on campus that ...

It's been a long day at a Phoenix day care. The staff arrived Monday like they do every day. But what they found wasn't the norm.
"Somebody came to destroy the place more or less."
Ralph Montoya owns Out of this World Daycare -- and he could not believe what he saw when he arrived Monday morning. Room after room at the school, trashed.
"I found the doors open, I found my office trashed, windows broken, a wall unit of A/C in that window, they took that out to get inside."
The kids play room, ransacked. The vandals even dumped cereal and milk all over the floor. He's been going through the mess all day long. He's cleaning up -- and trying to determine exactly what was stolen.
"Computers, TVs, stereo, tools, cameras that type of thing."
But the person or people behind this didn't just ransack the school trying to steal items. They were intent on vandalizing it.
"For some reason they got toner all over the place," says Montoya. "Parent files, teacher files, they have it all over the floor with toner on it."
Montoya says while he's saddened by the crime, it will not deter him and his family from continuing to serve the community and the kids of the school.
"It's good to see the children bouncing back, they're playing, doing what they do, encouraging one another."
And he has a message for the vandals.
"I hope they get. They need to face up to what they did and pay and learn hopefully they learn this ain't right and they shouldn't do that to other people."
Police are investigating, but as of tonight, there are no suspects.

Which sex is the worst about washing up? Why is it so important? We've got the dirty truth on how and when to wash your hands.
Information and Resources
How It Is Done continued...
After the dye is put in, a series of X-rays is taken of each section of the arm or leg or pelvis. Your arm or leg may be placed in several different positions so that X-rays from different views can be taken. If your doctor is placing an intravenous (IV) line, X-rays will be taken as the line is put in to help guide it to the correct position.
After the X-rays are taken, your arm or leg will be raised. A sterile salt solution (saline) may be put into the vein to help flush out the dye. Heparin, a blood thinner, may be put into the vein to prevent a blood clot. A small bandage will be placed on the IV site. Drink extra fluids after the test to help flush the dye out of your body.
This test usually takes 30 to 45 minutes.
How It Feels
You will feel a quick sting or pinch when the numbing medicine is given. When the dye is put into the vein, you may feel a warm flush or have a metallic taste in your mouth.
You may feel like your arm or leg is going to sleep during the test. This goes away after the test.
There is some risk of problems with a venogram.
- There is a small risk of developing an allergic reaction to the dye.
- There is a small risk of infection or damage to the veins being studied. In rare cases, a venogram can cause a deep vein thrombosis.
- There is a risk of kidney problems if you take metformin (Glucophage) to control your diabetes.
- There is always a slight chance of damage to cells or tissue from radiation, including the low levels of radiation used for this test. But the chance of damage from the X-rays is usually very low compared with the benefits of the test.
After the test
In rare cases, a venogram can cause an infection or a blood clot in the area studied. Call your doctor immediately if you have:
- A fever.
- Increasing pain, redness, or swelling in the arm or leg studied.
A venogram is an X-ray test that takes pictures of the blood flow through the veins in a certain area of the body.
Normal test results show that the dye moved quickly and evenly through the veins. Abnormal test results show that the flow of dye was slowed or blocked. This might mean that a blood clot, or another problem such as damage in the vein, is blocking or slowing blood flow.1
What Affects the Test
Reasons you may not be able to have the test or why the results may not be helpful include:
- Pregnancy. A venogram is not usually done during pregnancy because the radiation from the X-rays could harm the unborn baby (fetus).
- The inability to stay still during the test.
Arm or leg venogram
- Putting any weight on the leg being tested may stop the dye from moving through the leg veins properly.
- Moving your arm or leg may affect how the dye moves.
- In rare cases, foot veins are too small to put the dye into for the test.

They came to it mostly by accident, not design, but nevertheless the Republicans have finally hit on a winning political strategy for dealing with the White House and the Democrats: Out-flank them on the left.
More impressively, they have managed to do this without abandoning conservative principle. While the issues the Republicans have championed lately are typically associated with the left, they are not inherently anti-conservative. Indeed, there are strong conservative arguments for them.
Realizing that helped the Republicans win the last two major showdowns on Capitol Hill. First, they called the White House's bluff on the sequester and exposed the administration's warnings of its impact as hollow demagoguery.
And now, Senator Rand Paul's 13-hour filibuster over the administration's policy of allowing drone strikes on US citizens on US soil finally forced the Congress (and the media) to pay attention to the issue, exposing the Democrats' cravenness on the issue.
The common thread in both cases was that the Republicans won the fights by taking positions that have historically been associated with the left.
When the White House first concocted the sequester and its across-the-board budget cuts, they assumed Republicans would strike a deal to prevent them. Surely, the administration thought, the GOP's right-wing hawks would never be able to stomach the sequester's cuts to defense spending. They'll have to cave and agree to further tax hikes.
The administration was wrong. Most Republicans gradually came to the conclusion that, yes, cutting defense was a reasonable price to pay for the other budget cuts, especially if they helped to avoid tax hikes.
Thus, the GOP took a position – cutting defense — historically associated with the anti-war left. A panicked and confused White House responded by trying to up the pressure, spreading dire warnings about the sequester's impact. That strategy backfired when the sequester finally happened and the impacts turned out to negligible.
Similarly, the White House adopted an incredibly expansive policy regarding drone strikes on US citizens on US soil under the assumption that neither the anti-war left nor the War on Terror right would question it.
As far as the left goes, the administration has largely been proved right. The anti-war Democrats have been remarkably tame on the issue. Solidarity with the White House has proven to be more important to them, now that it is occupied by a fellow Democrat.
But Republicans began taking up the drone issue and it exploded Wednesday. First, Senator Ted Cruz tried to pin down the extremely evasive Attorney General Eric Holder on it. Then Paul mounted an old-fashioned 13-hour filibuster on the Senate floor, prevent the chamber from taking up the White House's nominee to head up the CIA to protest the policy.
"I will not sit quietly and let [Obama] shred the Constitution. No person will be deprived of life, liberty, or property without due process," he said.
Eventually more than dozen of Republican colleagues joined him. Meanwhile – with the sole exception of Oregon Democrat Ron Wyden, who backed Paul's filibuster – the Democrats sat sullenly on the sidelines.
When Paul offered to end the filibuster in exchange for a non-binding "sense of the Senate" resolution that "the use of drones to execute or to target American citizens on American soil who pose no imminent threat clearly violates the constitutional due process rights of citizens," Majority Whip Dick Durbin, D-Ill., rejected it.
It was brilliant theater that exposed the Democrats' hypocrisy on the issue. As the liberal American Prospect's Jamelle Bouie put it: "Paul's (filibuster) was for a good cause… to spark a conversation about the administration's overall drone policy and use of targeted killings, which has gone unexamined in official Washington."
Doesn't this mean that the GOP is abandoning conservatism though? Actually, no. There are sound conservative arguments for both positions. Regarding the sequester and its defense cuts, many on the small-government right have called for lifting the taboo on cutting defense and national security expenditures. They point out there is considerable pork in there too and the refusal to cut it was undermining efforts to get the overall budget under control.
Similarly, Paul's and Cruz's criticism of the administration's drone-strike policy was framed by them largely as a question of constitutional principles and preserving the balance of power between the three branches – something that most Tea Party activists can get behind.
Obviously, this isn't going to work on every issue. It's not like the GOP would ever be able to get to the left of the administration on immigration, for example. The White House would always be willing to out-bid them on that.
But the lesson here is that the GOP should spend more time re-thinking what its principles are and how they best apply to today's environment. There are opportunities to out-maneuver the administration without abandoning conservatism — such as the case my colleague Tim Carney has made against the administration's crony capitalism . They just have to look for them.

Watery eyes means you have too many tears draining from the eyes. Tears help keep the surface of the eye moist. They wash away particles and foreign objects in the eye.
Alternative Names
Epiphora; Tearing - increased
Common Causes
Your eyes are always making tears. These tears eave the eye through a small hole in the corner of the eye called the tear duct.
Causes of watery eyes include:
- Allergy to mold, dander, dust
- Blepharitis (swelling along the edge of the eyelid)
- Blockage of the tear duct
- Conjunctivitis
- Smog or chemicals in the air or wind
- Bright light
- Eyelid turning inward or outward
- Something in the eye (such as dust or sand)
- Scrape on the eye
- Infection
- Inward-growing eyelashes
- Irritation
Increased tearing sometimes happens with:
Oddly enough, one of the most common causes of excess tearing is dry eyes. Drying causes the eyes to become uncomfortable, which stimulates the body to produce too many tears. One of the main tests for tearing is to check whether the eyes are too dry.
Home Care
Consider the cause of the tearing before treating yourself at home. Any treatment at home depends on the cause of your problem.
Call your health care provider if
Tearing is rarely an emergency. However, seek help right away if any chemical gets into the eye, or if you have severe pain, bleeding, loss of vision, or a more severe injury to the eye.
Contact your health care provider if you have:
- A scratch on the eye
- Something in the eye
- Painful, red eyes
- A lot of discharge coming from the eye
- Long-term, unexplained tearing
- Tenderness around the nose or sinuses
What to expect at your health care provider's office
The doctor will examine your eyes and ask questions about your medical history and symptoms. Questions may include:
- When did the tearing start?
- How often does it happen?
- Does it affect both eyes?
- Do you have vision problems?
- Do you wear contacts or glasses?
- Does the tearing happen after an emotional or stressful event?
- Do you have eye pain or other symptoms, including headache, stuffy or runny nose, or joint or muscle aches?
- What medications do you take?
- Do you have allergies?
- Did you recently hurt your eye?
- What seems to help stop the tearing?
Your doctor may order tests to help determine the cause.
Treatment depends on the cause of the problem.

I love these shoes. Haven't worn them outside on the rough ground yet (they aren't snow boots, after all!) but they fit well, offer great arch support and enough spring to ease the tension in one's calves. Good Buy!
So far ok.
Bought these for my daughter and she loves them.
