Originally written September 11, 2012 on Fox Sports Kansas City:
KANSAS CITY, Mo. -- Upon further review, the Chiefs don't need another cornerback or a second pass-rusher off the edge. They need Tony Robbins. "Sometimes when you have hope, hope can do a lot of good things for you," Kansas City coach Romeo Crennel explained Monday, roughly 24 hours after Atlanta had taken a two-by-four to his squad in a 40-24 loss. "As long as it was a one-score game, I think there was good hope on the team. Then, once it become a two-score game, then some of that will weakened just a little bit." A little bit? With 5:05 left in the third quarter Sunday, it was a 3-point game. With 4:02 left, the Falcons had a 34-17 lead. The Chiefs folded, collectively, like a bunch of lawn chairs. Kansas City's will didn't weaken. It flat-out left the building, right along with everybody else. "In that situation, you're down, anybody wants to make a play," running back Jamaal Charles offered Monday afternoon. "And they probably press. But we can't lose focus, and (will) try to do better next time." Down 20-17, having kept pace with a nuclear Falcons offense that was made even more radioactive by an injury-depleted Chiefs secondary, Crennel's men opened the second half with a statement-making, 11-play, 58-yard drive. The hosts ate 5:53 off the clock and marched all the way to the Atlanta 22. It was perfect, everything the locals could've asked for, save for the end result: Ryan Succop's 40-yard field-goal attempt, which would've tied the contest, missed to the right. Frustrating? Yes. Confounding? No question. But fatal? Really? There's 24 minutes left on the clock, and you're folding the tent? Is this roster that fragile, psychologically? And yet, there it was. One miss, with miles to go, and the hands started wringing en masse. Fans groaned. Shoulder pads slumped. Veteran scribes shook their heads. It turned out to be a self-fulfilling prophecy: Atlanta got the ball back, drove 70 yards the other way, and punched in another touchdown to push the lead to 10. With 20 minutes left on the clock, while Crennel was feeling around for his red flag, his roster was getting ready to raise a white one high over Arrowhead Stadium. That's not a talent issue. Or a physical issue. That's mental. That's spiritual. That's disturbing. Do Matt Cassel's teammates have so little faith in their starting quarterback? So little faith in themselves? If the Chiefs don't believe in what they're doing out there, how the heck are the rest of us supposed to buy in? "You know, as an offense, it's our job to go out there and play," Dexter McCluster, the Chiefs' slot receiver, told FOX Sports.com. "Matt's our leader. Matt's our guy. I'm behind him 100 percent." As for the rest of the populace, well... let's put this way: The bandwagon gets a lot better mileage this week after all the jumping off Sunday night. "We've got a great team and I believe in my teammates," Charles said. "They've got great players on this team. We just have to come together and put it together for next week." The Chiefs give an awful lot of lip service to the sanctity of protecting their house. You just hope, deep down, it's not a house of cards. "Well, in the olden days, we'd have contact, padded practice for however long it took," Crennel continued. "But this is a different day and age, so we have to work within the rules that are set forth. "So you talk to them, you show them tape, try to get them to understand that every play is a play that must be played in the NFL and that the game is not over until it's over. And there are always chances and opportunities for you to make a play to give your team some momentum, and then, before you know it, you're winning the game." Pros, by nature, are mercenaries. You want to appeal to their heads, you appeal to their wallets. Crennel has a far tougher task ahead of him this week: Appealing to their hearts.

Chick-fil-A customers in Utah crowded the chicken chain's restaurants Wednesday to show their support for the company after its president, Dan Cathy, took a public position against same-sex marriage.
Former Arkansas Gov. Mike Huckabee, a Baptist minister, declared Wednesday "Chick-fil-A Appreciation Day" in response to criticism of Cathy's comments last month.
As a result, Chick-fil-A restaurants across America were reporting an increase in traffic Wednesday, including some where lines were seen outside restaurants.
In Utah, representatives at many of the state's 15 Chick-fil-A restaurants said they had done smashing business thanks to Huckabee's declaration.
Ryan Dennis, the owner of a Chick-fil-A in Riverdale, said his customer count was way up Wednesday.
"It's been crazy. I've had lines of about 200 people all day," he said. "This has been the busiest day I've ever had in 14 years."
"We have had a massive increase in business," said Kendall Smith, manager of the Chick-fil-A at the City Creek Center in downtown Salt Lake City. He said business was up at least 35 percent Wednesday, which he attributed strictly to "Appreciation Day."
Becky Pickle, the owner of a Chick-fil-A in South Jordan, said there was a "significant" increase in customers. "Yes, absolutely. I would call it abnormal for this day."
In North Carolina, a spokeswoman for the Rev. Billy Graham said the 93-year-old evangelist ate a Chick-fil-A lunch, including a chicken sandwich and waffle fries, at his home.
Chick-fil-A President Cathy told the Baptist Press last month that the Atlanta-based company was "guilty as charged" for backing "the biblical definition of a family." Gay rights groups and others answered with calls for boycotts. This Friday, opponents of Cathy's stance have planned "Kiss Mor Chiks," asking people of the same sex to show up at Chick-fil-A locations and kiss each other.
Cathy's comments have since led to controversial actions on both sides of the same-sex marriage debate, including the mayors of Boston and Chicago stating they would use their powers to stop new Chick-fil-A restaurants from opening in their cities. Supporters of the chain have said the mayors' actions were akin to stifling First Amendment speech. Even as customers filed into Chick-fil-A outlets Wednesday, some store owners said the controversy had so far has not hurt sales.
"I've had negative comments. But whether it's affected our traffic, it's hard to say. I haven't had major decreases in sales," Dennis said.
Chick-fil-A posted $4.1 billion in sales last year, most of it below the Mason-Dixon Line. Just 14 of its restaurants are in the six states and the District of Columbia where gay marriage is legal.

Li Edges Spanish No.1, Vinci Keeps Winning
Published May 02, 2011 12:00
MADRID, Spain - Two days ago Roberta Vinci carved out the fourth WTA title of her career in Barcelona, and on Monday she continued her win streak just a few hours away in Madrid, beating Olga Govortsova in the first round, 64 60.
Watch Madrid starting Monday on WTA Live powered by TennisTV!
Vinci, who has won Barcelona twice now and followed that victory with quotes such as "I feel like it's my tournament!" and "I'm in love with Barcelona," had somewhat of a slow start against Govortsova, but from 3-4 strung together nine straight games to cruise ahead at the $4.5-million Mutua Madrid Open, 64 60.
"Barcelona was unbelievable. I'm so happy I won there for the second time," the 28-year-old commented. "Today was a tough match. Not only is Govortsova a tough player but the courts are different here than in Barcelona - the altitude is different but the balls are much faster too. It was slower over there. But I adjusted and managed to win, so I'm happy. I'm confident right now."
Next up for Vinci is Alisa Kleybanova, who beat the tournament's No.9 seed Shahar Peer, 63 62. Vinci beat Kleybanova in a pair of tie-breaks in their only previous meeting, on the clay courts of Rome exactly a year ago.
The highest seed in that eighth of the draw, No.6 seed Li Na, ground out a 64 76(6) win over Spanish No.1 María José Martínez Sánchez. Li looked headed for an easy victory as she built a 64 52 lead but Martínez Sánchez, last year's Rome champion, pushed the second set to a tie-break and even fought off one match point down 6-5 before finally going down to the Chinese No.1.
Next for Li is Iveta Benesova, who beat good friend Barbora Zahlavova Strycova - with whom she just won the doubles title in Barcelona - in straight sets, 63 62. Li has won all three of her previous meetings against Benesova, although this will be their first career meeting on clay courts.
There were two more first round matches - earlier in the day, Lucie Safarova saved a match point down 5-4 in the third set to dispatch Anabel Medina Garrigues, 62 26 76(3), with Medina Garrigues having just won her first title in two years in Estoril, Portugal. At night, Dinara Safina came from a set and a break down to beat another Spaniard, Nuria Llagostera Vives, 57 64 63.
"It was the first match since my sickness. It wasn't easy to play," said Safina, who had to withdraw from the semifinals of her last WTA event due to illness. "I had basically one week without doing anything. When I went out onto the court my power wasn't there, but now I have a chance to play better next time. I was really nervous before the match but my desire to win kept me on the court."

Is Gulfstream Gearing Up for a G600?
Although Gulfstream Aerospace has repeatedly denied speculation that it is working on a G600, thought to be a composite-fuselage, long-range widebody business twinjet, last month's announcement of four new directors at the Savannah, Ga. headquarters hints that the company is looking at new design elements. David Hornick, the former engineering and technology director in charge of composite aircraft assemblies for GKN Aerospace, has been tapped to be Gulfstream's new director of composite technology. In addition, Joseph Ireland III was promoted to director of mechanical systems; Cindy Jefferson is the new director of initial phase procurement; and Fred Karst was promoted to director of service engineering.

How Lakewood, N.J., Is Redefining What It Means To Be Orthodox in America
Seventy years ago, Rabbi Aharon Kotler built an enduring community of yeshiva scholars by making peace with capitalism
BMG's pragmatic approach informs student life in the yeshiva as well. The Lakewood yeshiva is unusual in that it is a type of graduate school for older students. Most students arrive at the yeshiva when they are around 22, after they have already devoted a good number of years to intensive Talmud study, at a time when they are thinking of marriage and starting a family. A rule prohibits dating during the student's first six months at the yeshiva (referred to as being "in the freezer"), but nearly all students get married soon after, within their first two years. Of the 6,600 students at Lakewood today, approximately 1,200 are single and 5,400 are married. Lakewood students are highly valued in the Orthodox marriage market. The young men meet women through the involvement of parents and the help of intermediaries, shadchanim, who earn a fee if a marriage results. I met a young married BMG student who runs a successful matchmaking business—no doubt his vantage point in the beit midrash provides him with a critical competitive edge. The yeshiva supports the efforts of students to get married by offering a range of classes on topics thought to be critical to a proper Jewish home, as well as premarital counseling. Married students receive a small stipend from the yeshiva; $85 a week, according to one student I spoke to. Yungeleit are able to get by financially through a combination of the income of the wife, who typically works while her husband studies, the yeshiva stipend, government support, and support from parents. BMG is an accredited college and grants undergraduate and masters degrees. Students therefore are eligible for student loans, Pell grants, and work-study pay. Given their low declared income, these families are entitled to inexpensive or free health care from the state of New Jersey, as well as food stamps.
Most BMG students at some point leave the yeshiva to make money to support their growing families, usually when they reach their late 20s or early 30s. Finding jobs or establishing careers that would provide an adequate income to comfortably support a large, growing family would appear to be a daunting task for a 30-year-old adult male with no real secular education beyond the eighth grade, but BMG alumni seem to have figured out how it can be done. Some go for quick college degrees at state universities or private universities like Touro; others are able to use their BMG degrees in Talmudic law, together with credible board scores, to get directly into masters degree programs in business and accounting. Some are able to gain admittance to law schools: BMG alumni can be found at Columbia and Harvard law schools (not many, to be sure). Many go directly into business, joining a family business or starting their own, which can provide the flexibility of being able to continue to devote many hours on a regular basis to the study of Torah. One full-time student I met owns two drugstores in town and showed me how he is able to track cash register transactions in real time on his smartphone.
Visiting the batei midrash of BMG—the yeshiva has eight main study halls—it is easy to envision how the students could function well in corporate jobs at banks or law firms. Each beit midrash is tightly packed with row upon row of chairs, and the students appear to tackle their studies with their chevrusas, or study partners, in a disciplined, workmanlike manner. They are mostly from the Lithuanian community of Haredi Jews and therefore wear dark business suits rather than the long coats of Hasidic Jews and are generally clean-shaven and well groomed. English, not Yiddish, is their primary language, which they speak unaccented. Wearing a yarmulke, or even having one's tzitzit strings showing, is no longer a barrier to employment, at least in the New York area. Many careers are of course foreclosed by the lack of secular education, such as the sciences or engineering, but these students have a very practical focus on earning a good living. The material comforts provided by a successful business career—a large house, resort vacations, fine clothes—are not considered, in and of themselves, inconsistent with a life of piety.
The "Primacy of Torah" was an apt phrase for the motto for the azkarah, as it hints that there is something else that serves as a necessary supplement to the study of Torah, namely making money. The pragmatic approach of Lakewood stands in stark contrast to that of the Lithuaninan Haredi community in Israel, where the prevailing ideology is one of "Only Torah." Yeshiva students there are expected to devote their entire lives to the study of Torah; secular education and jobs are actively discouraged. According to Dr. Benjamin Brown, a Hebrew University lecturer whose research focus is Orthodox Judaism and Haredi society, Israeli Haredis view their American counterparts with a measure of condescension: The bourgeois lifestyle of American Haredis may be acceptable "for them" in America, but not in Israel, where the Haredis hold themselves to a higher, less compromising, and more austere standard. Torah study itself in America is also considered by Israeli Haredis to be on a lower level, which Brown believes is supported by the fact that "American bochurim [unmarried yeshiva students] come to learn in Israel, not vice versa." The same perspective was shared with me by Rabbi Yehoshua Pfeffer, a Haredi religious court judge in Jerusalem. According to Pfeffer, the "mainstream" Israeli Haredi "looks upon his Lakewood counterpart as being part of the American experience of affluence and luxury and generally believes that Torah greatness cannot emerge from America—even from Lakewood."
I asked Aaron Kotler what he thought of these assessments of Lakewood by Israeli Haredis and, not surprisingly, like a good CEO, he declined to respond. Kotler does not appear to harbor within himself any doubts concerning the rectitude of Lakewood's religious path and its scholarly achievements, and he would therefore have no need to defend himself and his institution. He may also recognize that behind the critique there lies covert respect or even admiration. Pfeffer noted that Lakewood, and the American Haredi community more generally, is perceived by Israeli Haredis to be more "tolerant," allowing its members "greater freedom of choice in leading their lives: the choice to work rather than learn is not shunned, the dress code is not as rigid … and the 'prohibitions' (against iPhones, iPads, etc.) are more flexible." Although some see this greater tolerance and flexibility as evidence of weakness and compromise, others "admire the American model and wish there could be more tolerance and freedom of choice in the Israeli Haredi experience," he said. As the constraints barring young Haredi men from entering the workforce and business world in Israel are beginning to loosen, and with the political pressure unleashed in the last election on Haredi society to "share the burden," the Lakewood model may become more than a secret wish. The "primacy" of Torah may one day rival or supplant the Israeli Haredi ideology of "only" Torah—another example, perhaps, of the steady Americanization of Israeli society.

OCSE Commissioner Vicki Turetsky oversees the child support program operated by each state and many tribes.
In 2009, Vicki Turetsky was appointed Commissioner for the Office of Child Support Enforcement. As Commissioner, her priorities include implementing family-centered strategies to support parental employment and involvement, modernizing federal and state technology to increase program efficiency, expanding the tribal child support program, and preparing for generational change.
Ms. Turetsky brings more than 30 years of experience as a public administrator and advocate for low-income families. She is a nationally recognized expert in family policy, and is instrumental in efforts to boost child support payments to families and establish realistic child support policies that encourage fathers to work and play an active parenting role. Prior to her appointment, she served as the Director of Family Policy at the Center for Law and Social Policy, and was a visiting lecturer at the Woodrow Wilson School of Public and International Affairs at Princeton University.
She also has held positions at the U.S. Corporation for National and Community Service, MDRC, Union County Legal Services in New Jersey, the Minnesota Attorney General's Office, and the Minnesota Department of Human Services. She received her B.A. from the University of Minnesota and her J.D. from the University of Chicago Law School.
She has received a number of honors, including the 2014 Burton Award for Government Service, 2006 NCSEA "Champion of Children" Award, and the 2000 OCSE "Lifelong Achievement" Award. In 2013, she was named by Newsweek as one of "30 Leaders in the Fight for Black Men." She also received one of the first Minnesota "STEP" Awards in 1987 cited by Osborne and Gaebler, Reinventing Government.
Read more about Commissioner Turetsky and OCSE on the Commissioner's Voice Blog.
Today, too many children in our country grow up without such support and guidance. A father's absence is felt by children, families, and communities in countless ways, leaving a hole that can have lasting effects. Their absence is also felt by mothers, who work overtime and double shifts, put food on the table, and care for children alone while trying to make ends meet. And it is felt in our communities, when boys grow up without male leaders to inspire them.
My Administration has made supporting fathers and their communities a priority. Last year on Father's Day, I announced the President's Fatherhood and Mentoring Initiative, a nationwide effort to support organizations that foster responsible fatherhood and help re-engage fathers in the lives of their children. We have bolstered community and faith-based programs that provide valuable support networks for fathers. We are also promoting work-life balances that benefit families, and partnering with businesses across America to create opportunities for fathers and their children to spend time together. And military leaders are joining in our efforts to help families keep in touch when a dad is deployed overseas, so the fathers who serve to protect all our children can stay connected to their own.
—Excerpt from President Obama's Proclamation on Father's Day 2011

Dr. Cara Gardenswartz: Though the DSM-IV-TR (the "Bible" of mental disorders for the American Psychiatric Association and the American Psychological Association) does not formally recognize sexual addiction as a mental illness, most psychologists and trained therapists believe that sexual addiction is real, just as they consider gambling addiction to be real. It is speculated that in the latest version (currently in progress) of the DSM (DSM-V), sexual addiction will be included as a mental illness. In the 1980s, the 12-step movement popularized the notion that behaviors could be as addictive as substances such as cocaine or alcohol. They founded 12-step programs for compulsive shoppers, gamblers, "sexaholics," and so on.
Sexual addiction is a preoccupation with sexual behavior (which can include masturbation, prostitution, anonymous sex, casual sex, going to strip clubs, bathhouses, etc.). Most often it involves many sexual encounters and reckless behavior. Sex is a way some people cope with life stressors and intense emotions. Individuals often find themselves escaping from life circumstances and pain through addiction. With sexual addiction as well as with infidelity, lies and denial become necessary to keep the behavior active.
Addiction has become an increasingly popular explanation for people in the public eye such as Bill Clinton. Actor David Duchovny, who plays a sex addict in the show "Californication," entered rehab in order to treat his own sex addiction, just as people with substance addictions or eating disorders go to rehab facilities. Many people with sexual addictions also have other addictions, such as substance abuse.
According to the DSM-IV-TR, people with substance abuse have some of the following symptoms:
• Failure to fulfill major obligations
• Recurrent social or interpersonal problems
• Tolerance (need for more of the "drug" to get the same "high")
• Withdrawal
• Large amounts over a long period
• Unsuccessful efforts to cut down
• Time spent in obtaining the substance replaces social, occupational, or recreational activities
• Continued use despite adverse consequences
People with sexual addiction may also exhibit these symptoms, as well as some of the following symptoms:• Lying to family, friends, and coworkers
• Unable to complete tasks due to excessive preoccupation with sex
• Spending 2-4 hours cruising the Internet, parks, or streets
• Downloading porn at work
• Masturbating or having sex in public
• Feeling exhausted, shame, or guilt after acting out sexually
• Sexualizing conversations
So two questions remain:
Do you believe sexual addiction is "real"? And do you think Tiger Woods has a sexual addiction?

Very Nice web site. I recently designed mine and that i was longing for some concepts and you gave me some. could i raise you whether you developed the web site by youself ?
Advantageously, the article is in point of fact the best on this notable topic. I slot in along with your conclusions and can thirstily anticipate to your upcoming updates. just saying thanks will not simply be adequate, for the tremendous lucidity in your writing. i'll instantly grab your rss feed to remain abreast of any updates. Gratifying work and much success in your business efforts!
Today, I went to the beach with my kids. I found a sea shell and gave it to my 4 year old daughter and said "You can hear the ocean if you put this to your ear." She put the shell to her ear and screamed. There was a hermit crab inside and it pinched her ear. She never wants to go back! LoL I know this is entirely off topic but I had to tell someone!
I'm really enjoying the design and layout of your site. It's a very easy on the eyes which makes it much more enjoyable for me to come here and visit more often. Did you hire out a designer to create your theme? Fantastic work!
Hey there just wanted to give you a quick heads up. The text in your content seem to be running off the screen in Chrome. I'm not sure if this is a format issue or something to do with internet browser compatibility but I thought I'd post to let you know. The design and style look great though! Hope you get the problem solved soon. Cheers
I'm impressed, I need to say. Really hardly ever do I encounter a weblog that's both educative and entertaining, and let me tell you, you have hit the nail on the head. Your idea is outstanding; the difficulty is one thing that not sufficient persons are talking intelligently about. I'm very pleased that I stumbled across this in my search for one thing relating to this.
Good day! This is my 1st comment here so I just wanted to give a quick shout out and say I really enjoy reading your posts. Can you suggest any other blogs/websites/forums that cover the same topics? Thanks for your time!

Menopause is time in a woman's life when her periods (menstruation) eventually stop and the body goes through changes that no longer allow her to get pregnant. It is a natural event that normally occurs in women age 45 - 55.
Alternative Names
Perimenopause; Postmenopause
Causes, incidence, and risk factors
During menopause, a woman's ovaries stop making eggs and they produce less estrogen and progesterone. Changes in these hormones cause menopause symptoms. Periods occur less often and eventually stop. Sometimes this happens suddenly. But most of the time, periods slowly stop over time.
Menopause is complete when you have not had a period for 1 year. This is called postmenopause. Women who are postmenopausal can no longer get pregnant.
Surgical menopause is when medical treatments cause a drop in estrogen. This can happen if your ovaries are removed or if you receive chemotherapy or hormone therapy for breast cancer.
Symptoms vary from woman to woman. They may last 5 or more years. Some women may have worse symptoms than others. Symptoms of surgical menopause can be more severe and start more suddenly.
The first thing you may notice is that your periods start to change. They might occur more often or less often. Some women might get their period every 3 weeks. This might last for 1 - 3 years before the periods completely stop.
Common symptoms of menopause include:
- Menstrual periods that occur less often and eventually stop
- Heart pounding or racing
- Hot flashes, usually worst during the first 1 - 2 years
- Night sweats
- Skin flushing
- Sleeping problems (insomnia)
Other symptoms of menopause may include:
- Decreased interest in sex, possibly decreased response to sexual stimulation
- Forgetfulness (in some women)
- Headaches
- Mood swings including irritability, depression, and anxiety
- Urine leakage
- Vaginal dryness and painful sexual intercourse
- Vaginal infections
- Joint aches and pains
- Irregular heartbeat (palpitations)
Signs and tests
Blood and urine tests can be used to look for changes in hormone levels. Test results can help your doctor determine if you are close to menopause or if you have already gone through menopause.
Tests that may be done include:
Your health care provider will perform a pelvic exam. Decreased estrogen can cause changes in the lining of the vagina.
Bone loss increases during the first few years after your last period. Your doctor may order a bone density test to look for bone loss related to osteoporosis.
Treatment for menopause depends on many things, including how bad your symptoms are, your overall health, and your preference. It may include lifestyle changes or hormone therapy.
Hormone therapy may help if you have severe hot flashes, night sweats, mood issues, or vaginal dryness. Hormone therapy is treatment with estrogen and, sometimes, progesterone.
Talk to your doctor about the benefits and risks of hormone therapy. Your doctor should be aware of your entire medical history before prescribing hormone therapy (HT). Learn about options that do not involve taking hormones.
Several major studies have questioned the health benefits and risks of hormone therapy, including the risk of developing breast cancer, heart attacks, strokes, and blood clots.
Current guidelines support the use of HT for the treatment of hot flashes. Specific recommendations:
- HT may be started in women who have recently entered menopause.
- HT should not be used in women who started menopause many years ago, except for estrogen vaginal creams.
- The medicine should not be used for longer than 5 years.
- Women taking HT have a low risk for stroke, heart disease, blood clots, or breast cancer.
To reduce the risks of estrogen therapy, your doctor may recommend:
- A lower dose of estrogen or a different estrogen preparation (for instance, a vaginal cream or skin patch rather than a pill)
- Frequent and regular pelvic exams and Pap smears to detect problems as early as possible
- Frequent and regular physical exams, including breast exams and mammograms
If you have a uterus and decide to take estrogen, you should also take progesterone to prevent cancer of the lining of the uterus (endometrial cancer). If you do not have a uterus, you do not need progesterone.
See also: Hormone therapy
There are other medicines available to help with mood swings, hot flashes, and other symptoms. These include:
- Antidepressants, including paroxetine (Paxil), venlafaxine (Effexor), bupropion (Wellbutrin), and fluoxetine (Prozac)
- A blood pressure medicine called clonidine
- Gabapentin, a seizure drug that also helps reduce hot flashes
Hormones are not always needed to reduce symptoms of menopause. There are many steps you can take to reduce symptoms.
Diet changes:
- Avoid caffeine, alcohol, and spicy foods.
- Eat soy foods. Soy contains estrogen.
- Get plenty of calcium and vitamin D in food or supplements.
Exercise and relaxation techniques:
- Get plenty of exercise.
- Do Kegel exercises every day. They strengthen the muscles of your vagina and pelvis.
- Practice slow, deep breathing whenever a hot flash starts to come on. Try taking six breaths a minute.
- Try yoga, tai chi, or meditation.
Other tips:
- Dress lightly and in layers.
- Keep having sex.
- Use water-based lubricants or a vaginal moisturizer during sex.
- See an acupuncture specialist.

Support Groups
Expectations (prognosis)
Some women have vaginal bleeding after menopause. This is often nothing to worry about. However, you should tell your health care provider if this occurs. It may be an early sign of other health problems, including cancer.
Decreased estrogen levels have been linked with some long-term effects, including:
- Bone loss and osteoporosis in some women
- Changes in cholesterol levels and greater risk of heart disease
Calling your health care provider
Call your health care provider if:
- You are spotting blood between periods
- You have had 12 consecutive months with no period and suddenly vaginal bleeding or spotting begins again, even if it is a very small amount
Menopause is a natural and expected part of a woman's development and does not need to be prevented. You can reduce your risk of long-term problems such as osteoporosis and heart disease by taking the following steps:
- Control your blood pressure, cholesterol, and other risk factors for heart disease.
- Do NOT smoke. Cigarette use can cause early menopause.
- Eat a low-fat diet.
- Get regular exercise. Resistance exercises help strengthen your bones and improve your balance.
- If you show early signs of bone loss or have a strong family history of osteoporosis, talk to your doctor about medications that can help stop further weakening.
- Take calcium and vitamin D.

Thanksgiving: The Ultimate Money-Saving Meal

Pumpkin Cream Pie and Toasted Cider Cocktails round out this affordable yet elegant meal that requires minimal cost and effort, yet yields an impressive holiday feast for your family. Give the turkey a try ... it sounds amazing and makes brining seem easy! I love that Sandra tops off each money-saving meal with a cocktail, too ... so needed after all the food labor!
Sandra's Round Two Recipes (not to be confused with leftovers, ladies) allow you to cook once and eat twice. Thanksgiving Quesadillas and Stuffed Mushrooms make use of dual ingredients for cost-effective recipes to clear out the post-holiday fridge.
Sandra also offered some fun ideas for moms to decorate their holiday table inexpensively -- use your food as the focal point.

Cracking Open the IBM PC Jr.
Summary: The PC Jr. was IBM's attempt to tap into the budding home personal computer market of 1983. While the PC Jr. had many positives with regard to the general home user, it also had several limitations that doomed it in the marketplace. I bought my PC Jr. in 1985 from my older brother who never quite figured out what to do with it. Feeling nostalgic, I decided to Crack Open the IBM PC Jr. to see what was actually in the case.

Bump on the Head
Hinata had jumped every time there was a knock on the door that day. She'd successfully demolished a third of her dishes. So when the visitors she'd been waiting for finally got there, she was over her spaz-attacks and completely relaxed, expecting another visitor like Kiba or the mailman.
When she opened the door she opened it politely and gave a small smile to her guest. A tall blonde woman smiled back, toting an over excited Sasuke behind her.
"Good evening, Hyuuga-san!" Tsunade greeted her cheerfully, giving her a big smile. It made her feel like a baby-sitter.
"Good evening, Hokage-sama." Hinata answered much less enthusiastic. Sasuke practically bounced into the room.
"Hello, love of my life!" he chimed, and Hinata's gaze flickered over to him awkwardly. That was so freaky. It would definitely take some time to get used to. Sasuke fluttered his eyes at Hinata sweetly, giving her the googly-eyes.
"Well, guess I'll get on with it then." Tsunade sighed awkwardly. She pointed down at Sasuke's ankle where a device was snapped on. It was a plastic band and a little attachment to the side. Hinata had seen it before.
"This will control his chakra, or at least most of it. Do I need to explain?" Hinata shook her head. She'd already seen one of these devices. It was fairly new, actually, used mostly in prisons. It controlled his chakra, keeping it low, and administered a according dose of sedative to its wearer. Nifty little thing, even water proofed.
"Alright, then there's this." Tsunade continued and pulled Sasuke's shirt up over his belly. On his pale skin stood out a centimeter-big black square. Tsunade tapped it light. Hinata wasn't familiar with this.
"This drains the rest of his chakra. He won't have the strength to pull out a hair!" Sasuke blinked in indignation, offended. What made her think he would ever hurt Hinata for? Was that why they made him wear all of that shit?
Hinata merely nodded, looking utterly dejected. Tsunade pursed her lips, shifting a awkwardly and then stood up.
"Well, I better be leaving now." She said. Hinata gave a tiny nod.
"Come back soon." She muttered as the Hokage bounded away. She watched the older woman, silently begging her to come back and drag Sasuke away by the hair. Hinata leaned her head against the door frame, stalling.
Before she could even close the door, she was ambushed. She hadn't even heard him. Sasuke flung his arms around her and hugged her weakly from behind, burying his face in her hair. It took her a minute to calm her self, and all her control not to turn around and slap him. Then he started to rub her butt.
"Uchiha-san, please don't do that…" Hinata grumbled, her face tomato red with embarrassment. Sasuke raised his head curiously.
"Why does everyone keep calling me that? Sasuke-san, Uchiha-san? That's not my name." Hinata bit her lip against giving him a piece of her mind.
"Well, may I just call you Sasuke?" she asked. Sasuke smiled at that.
"You can call me anything you want, dear." He answered cheerfully. As she studied his face a moment, she noticed there were dark circles underneath his eyes and his pale skin looked pastier than usual.
She went to find a blanket and spare pillow in her closet so she could fix him a bed on the couch. As she did so, he followed her. He looked around inquiringly. There were so many holes in his delusion it was almost unbelievable. But then, when it came to the criminally insane, bump or no bump on the head, there really were no limits…
Hinata yanked a matching pillow and blanket out and hauled it into her tiny living area.
"I love navy blue." He smiled at her appreciatively, fluttering his eyes again. Hinata nodded, sighing. "But why are you making a bed up?"
Hinata blinked. She'd given a lot of thought to what the Hokage had said the night before, and she'd come to the conclusion that maybe she really should play along with Sasuke's delusion. But Kami, was it going to take all her patience away? And how far would Sasuke push her to go?
Mulling it over, she wondered how she would be able to convince him that he needed to sleep out here and her in the bedroom. A few lame ideas went through her mind, and she knew none of them would work. And better yet, how would she make him stay in there? If he was as persistant as Hokage-sama has said, she would have to tell him she had some life threatening disease. For some reason she didn't feel confident in that option either.
"Uh, we might have a guest." She said quickly. He just smiled. "Are you tired?" she asked.
"Yes." He admitted, nodding. "I haven't been able to sleep well since I've been away. I missed you."
Hinata just nodded her head and ushered him into the bedroom, he glanced around the new territory. Then he crawled in bed under the covers and patted the other side of the bed. Funny, he knew which side was hers.
"Why don't you crawl in? You look like you could use a nap yourself." He said sweetly as he flipped the covers back some more, making room for her.
"I can't. I have things I need to do at the moment."
A frown spread over his face. "Can't they wait? I'm serious, you really do look tired." She shook her head and left. He stayed behind in the room, pouting, hoping she would change her mind.
Friday 7:46 PM, Hinata Hyuuga's Residence
The glitches in his delusion were ridiculous and stupid. How could he not have a name? Why didn't he realize he was Uchiha? It was almost impossible to mistake an Uchiha, even a delusional man. But not to recognize himself?
Hinata chewed her lip, thinking hard. It was almost as though he had retrograde amnesia, but then why the delusions? If he had retrograde amnesia so bad he didn't know his own name, then why did he seem to remember her name and their wedding so clearly when it hadn't even happened?
She remembered Sakura talking about a few of her insane patients before. She'd said one man had been thoroughly convinced that squirrels were sent to spy on Konoha for Suna. Another man thought he was engaged to Tsunade. But that had made more sense, at least. He knew exactly who and what he was.
With a sigh, Hinata leaned forward and put her head in her hands. This was so wrong and unfair. She almost got up and walked to room before she caught herself. There was a visitor in her bed.
Friday 3:54 AM, Hinata Hyuuga's Residence
That night Hinata slept on her own couch.

Replacing Air Purifiers With Household Plants
Since the air in our cities is becoming more and more polluted, a lot of families have been purchasing air purifiers in order to clean up the air inside their homes. While air purifiers are sometimes needed for health reasons, most of us can just hack those air purifiers and use plants instead.
We've covered a sort of air purifier that used a plant in order to function, this is just so much simpler. This also comes with a lot of scientific proof, as NASA is the one did the study.
House plants can purify and rejuvenate air within our houses and workplaces, safeguarding us all from any side effects connected with prevalent toxins such as formaldehyde, ammonia and also benzene.
That's not all. There are other sources cited in the post over at Air Purifier Review. With this research covered, Air Purifier Review lists 15 of the plants best suited to replace your air purifiers. The bamboo palm and rubber plant are some of our favorites and they rate pretty high in these studies. NASA recommends that there should be a six-inch plant for every 100 sq feet of living space.
If your green thumb fails, alternatively you could always purchase the Andrea Air Purifier.

Do you know what a weenie is? Someone who's posts detract or bring nothing to a discussion. I love house plants, they really make a small space feel cozy whether it is an apartment or an office cube. I have a huge Pothos at my desk that has been doing great under the florescent lights for the last year.
You might be interested in this TED talk presentation (see link) which covers research on three specific species of indoor plant that hold promise in improving air quality. The presentation gives an overview of these species and how they have improved air quality in office buildings in New Delhi. Discusses plant to human ratio for optimum air quality improvement: http://anthrome.wordpress.com/2010/02/24/indoor-plants-for-air-purification/
Every time i read something on this subject i seem to get another house plant! Just need to find a good source for some modern pots / planters that don't cost a fortune.
anthrome, that is exactly the item I was thinking of when I saw this post! I was amazed because my workplace has troughs of mother-inlaw's tongue plants that have been around for years. We also keep fill the window sills with spider plants which are excellent plants for absorbing air pollution - essential for a school situated on a busy city street!
Another good indoor plant, commonly seen with braided stems/trunks, is known as Money Tree. Bombacopsis (Pachira) glabra. http://anthrome.wordpress.com/2008/11/28/bombaceae-bombacopsis-glabra-saba-nut-american-chestnut/
Indoors, placed near a bright window, it will do fairly well. When planted in the ground outdoors (in tropical climates) it becomes a spectacular tree and produces large edible seeds. It is a very close relative to P. glabra (New Guinea or Malabar chestnut), both in the Bombacaceae family.
However, I wouldn't promote the braiding of its stems, as the practice seems barbaric, somewhat akin to that of feet binding, stunting its growth and ultimately leading to a somewhat kitch, handicapped tree with a shorter lifespan.
I would imagine that the degree to which a plant improves air quality would correlate directly to its overall health.
i am in desperate need of plants in my apartment. can any suggest a few plants that would do well in a room that does not get direct sun?
oops, 'any' = anyone
Wow. I never really paid any attention to the plants in our house except to just keep them for decorative purposes. Thanks for this insight!

Fireballs the size of the one seen in central Russia are relatively rare, but are more expected when February rolls around.
"Smaller meteor fireballs are actually quite common, and curiously enough, the frequency of meteor fireballs is typically 10 percent to 30 percent higher in February than in other months for reasons that are unknown," said Dr. Jody Wilson, a research scientist at the University of New Hampshire's Space Science Center.
The so-called "Fireball February" phenomenon has been known since the 1960s, Wilson said.
It proved frightening Friday when countless video cameras and others mounted on car dashboards captured stunning images of a 10-ton meteor streaking across the Russian sky. The fireball that left a white trail hanging in the sky created an intense sonic boom that blew out windows and caused other building damage, leaving more than 1,000 people injured.
The meteor mayhem came on the same day that a 150-foot-wide asteroid passed dangerously close to Earth at 2:24 p.m. The asteroid was not believed to be linked to the Russian meteor.
"Simply based on the direction the fireball was traveling over Russia, which was approximately north to south, it had to have been in a very different orbit from (the asteroid), which is flying by the Earth in an approximately south to north direction," Wilson said.
The Russian meteor created panic and renewed fears of an end-of-the-world event just like one in 1908 that hit Siberia, flattening trees over 800 square miles and sending people running to holy shrines and monasteries to pray.
Wilson said the amount of damage caused by impacting meteorites depends mostly on the size of the meteoroid.
On any given night, Wilson said one can see several harmless meteors in the sky per hour caused by falling objects that are smaller than a grain of sand.
"At the other extreme, a 10-mile wide asteroid hitting the Earth can cause a global mass extinction such as the one that killed the dinosaurs," he said.
Wilson said 10-foot-wide objects - roughly the size of the Russian meteor - hit the Earth about once every year.
Life-threatening impacts are rare, and while they do happen, "there is so much uninhabited land and ocean on the Earth that it's more likely they will hit where nobody even sees them."

Before & After: Restoring a Mid-Century Modern Dresser
The Creative Imperative
When Jamie found this lovely mid-century modern dresser at a Salvation Army store fo only $50, she knew she'd hit the jackpot. Though she didn't love the yellowing tone of the piece, and the finish was in bad shape (especially on the top), the lines and solid construction made it a great choice for an update.
Jamie used Citristrip to remove the old finish, coating the entire dresser then leaving it to sit overnight. After scraping off the peeling finish, she washed down the piece to remove any sticky residue, then lightly sanded with both 100 grit and 220 grit sandpaper. When Jamie saw the lovely lines of the wood grain revealed, she knew that her decision to refinish the dresser was the right one. She used a dark walnut stain to refinish the piece, then sealed it with a satin polyurethane. The final result is a beautiful dresser that has taken pride of place in Jamie's master bedroom.

Gorgeous! And here I was cringing to see what color it had been spray-painted!
perfection. (and what Ikla said)
Lovely, lovely. I would have used a lighter stain, but that's why they make stains in many colors! 8-)
agreed! Ikia and franzmendoza said it all!
Agree with above comment
Thank goodness it didn't get painted.
Agree with all comments above !
I applaud the refinishing -- it is a fun piece and well worth saving. Great job!
That said, I cannot warm to that dark walnut stain; the original stain, albeit yellowed, is far more attractive and authentic.
I have a few mid century dressers in quite a dark walnut. Actually, almost an opaque walnut. This stain is nicer than my originals' finish.
Yes! Beautiful refinishing job - thanks for shelving the spray paint - congratulations!
I've seen a lot of mid century furniture in different finishes, including walnut, so this isn't exactly inauthentic. If it helps, think of it as closer to being a rosewood finish.
that is perfect. nice job!
Looks fantastic!
I am actually old enough to have a real mid century mid-century bedroom set and all the pieces are dark walnut. We also bought dark walnut living room tables. I still have the side table but no longer do I have the coffee table. Oh, what I have given away over the years!
Stunning! That came out so beautiful, the finish is perfection.
Beautiful job. Like others, I prefer the reddish cast of the original stain, but the important thing is that you saved this lovely dresser and preserved it for years to come. Well done!
Mid-C Frank approves. In fact, Mid-C Frank wants this dresser!!!
As someone who just finished a much smaller strip and stain project I'd like to give you a big round of applause, that looks great!! I can't imagine how long that took to finish!
Also, agree with some other commenters that medium walnut stain (as shown here) IS in fact very authentic for MCM furniture. I have a beautiful dining set in original condition in that very shade. Amazing that some people think everything was blonde back then.
I have to admit - I was also cringing prior to making the jump to the after photo. I have seen some horrid spray-painted MCM renovations in blue, or two-toned and I didn't have the heart to see what you may have done to yours. But after seeing the results of your fine work - i applaud you and your good taste. Simply gorgeous!
Excellent job.
Serious wow! It's beautiful. As so many others have already stated, I was dreading seeing the after shot in case it had been altered beyond repair but you maintained the physical integrity of the piece and merely cleaned it up and refinished.
Chiming in with everyone else about how beautifully done this is.
I am so envious of your amazing find and what an awesome job you did! There's a blogger from Phoenix, whom shall remain nameless, that has the most amazing luck when it comes to finding MCM furniture. However, then she paints AND DISTRESSES said pieces of furniture. It really does make me ill to see what she does to them.
I was TERRIFIED to see the 'after' but was pleasantly surprised. good job!
Beautiful job! Love that it wasn't painted.
Wow, what a find! Kudos on a job well done.
I love it!
Love this and much prefer the new finish. I love MCM pieces like this, but I don't love that orange tone many of them have. I did something similar with a pair of night stands, but without the Citristrip. I just sanded of the old finish and then stained them, and I love that I got rid of the really orange tone.
I paid $250 for something similar. It's in perfect condition but you got a great deal.
I'm all for painting furniture if you want to but even I was holding my breath, afraid that this had been painted. Perfect.
Beautiful!! How much do you want for it? ;)
Very nice & also was expecting the worse. Take note shabby chic'ers.
Beautiful.............nothing beats a little elbow grease!!
Couldn't have imagined it any more perfect. Love the piece. Love the color!
Nice job.
Wow Jaime, you did an amazing job! This is just beautiful!
I figured it'd be okay, since the headline was "restoring" and not the dreaded "update." This looks fantastic, I have a lane surfboard coffee table and 2 Jens Risom-inspired chairs that need to restored but have been nervous. And I'm going to have to agree with the others, I've seen and have MCM pieces that are also that walnut color in the second pic. Also, take into account that there are a number of differences in each photo (lighting, angle) which could make the colors seem much more different than they actually are.
And lastly, @Head Smacker, I need to know who this blogger is!!!
Really nice job. That is a classic dresser. And a fantastic restoration. That is a piece I would be PROUD to own. I have an EXCELLENT mid-century modern piece in the original stain of dark walnut. It looks great! http://www.midcenturymodernremodel.com/2012/06/fun-furniture-find-john-stuart-armoire.html
nice job.
Beyond amazed by what can be found at a Salvation Army! Love that this was properly preserved. Such a great piece that you will have for a lifetime.
I'm sorry, but to me the finished piece still looks like something found at the Salvation Army. I have a similar dresser made with cherry wood. Putting such a dark stain on it would make it look awful. I was hoping for something a bit more creative and dramatic so I could get ideas for the re-do of my dresser.
well, I think it looks beautiful. I love the walnut stain... I think it brings out the grain and the relief of the design much better than the original finish. You did a spectacular job. It looks BEAUTIFUL!
Ooooooooooh, the finished product has me swooning!!!

October 15, 2009 Adolescent Development Most infants, soon after birth, show a preference for looking at faces over other complex stimuli. Preferring to look at faces helps facilitate the infant-caregiver bond and therefore helps ensure the infant?s survival. Preference for looking at faces can be described as Being strongly canalized ( Omir is doing very well in his Spanish class and seems to really enjoy it. Because of this, his parents have decided to take a family vacation to Spain. For Omir, this is an example of An Evocative G-E Correlation ( Who is inquiring about the reliability of a study? Dr. Nitty who wants to know whether a study of students? facial expressions during sex-ed class compared the facial expressions of others ( Behavioral Genetics Study of the relative contributions of nature and nurture to the great diversity that exists in human traits and abilities 2 basic questions How much is nature responsible for differences between individuals; how much is nurture responsible? How do heredity and environment work together in development of traits? How much? Heritability Estimate: measure extent to which individual differences in complex traits within a population are due to genetic factors Kinship studies: compare characteristics of family members; Twin studies: is trait more similar between identical twins than fraternal twins? How much? Concordance rates: % of instances in which both twins show a trait when it is present in one twin 100% identical twins = all heredity; no effect of environment Criticisms/Limitations Assumes additive effect Tend to overestimate role of heredity Identical twin environments are more similar than fraternal twin environments Does not reveal why/how the trait develops Does not suggest helpful interventions Can be misapplied to try to explain differences between races Ex. Intelligence How do Nature and Nurture work together? Reaction Range: each individual?s unique, genetically determined response to the environment Unique blends of heredity and environment lead to both similarities and differences in behavior Accounts for children?s varying responses to the same environment Canalization: Tendency of heredity to redistrict development of a trait to one or a few potential outcomes Strongly canalized traits develop similarly in a wide range of environments Ex. Walking is strongly canalized Weakly canalized traits show wider variation Ex. Personality, intelligence Canalization Why are some traits strongly canalized? Ensures survival Ensures everyone will develop certain species-typical skills under a wide range of rearing conditions Only extreme environmental conditions will affect their development Genetic Environmental Correlations Our genes influence the environments to which we are exposed 3 different types of G-E Correlations Passive Evocative Active G-E Correlations Passive: Parents create an environment compatible with their own heredity. If child is biologically related to parents, environment is related to (correlated to) child?s heredity Ex. Athletically inclined parents bring kids on hikes; enroll them in sports; play catch in backyard Evocative: Child behaves in ways consistent with their own heredity, evoking response from others (ex. Creating an environment) that in turn strengthens child?s original response Ex. Child sings well in music class (due to heredity) teacher notices and suggests she join chorus (evoked environment) She joins chorus and develops her singing voice (environment strengthens inherited ability) Active: Individual chooses environments that complement their genetic tendencies Ex. Innately athletically talented boy tries out for sports teams, develop skills Ex. Extroverted boy tries out for school musical, gets attention Ex. Intelligent girl joins chess club, exercises intellect G-E Correlations and Development Passive: most common in infancy/young children who do not have control over environment available to them Evocative: becomes more common as child matures; less later as Active Correlation becomes more prevalent; always possible Active: older children/adolescents/adults; can choose environments available to them One ?
