The storm and stress period of woman and the new social and psychological formations thereby entailed must, indeed, extend far into the twentieth century. This period of conflict will cease only when woman within and out of marriage shall have received legal equality with man. It will cease when such a transformation of society shall have come to pass that the present rivalry between the sexes shall be ended in a manner advantageous to both and when finally the work of earning a livelihood as well as care of the household shall have received such form that it will weigh less heavily than now upon the woman.

Great home for a family getaway
Everything you need all in one place. Great home to spend with family and relax. Beach is near by pool was pristine and all the amenities at your hand. Place was clean and the house has great energy. If you're thinking of naples this is the place.
A very classic, all encompassing property.
A well cared for rental property. All the conveniences of home. Tons of space for a large gathering - we had 10 people in our party. Nice, safe neighborhood, close to all amenities but a vehicle is required. Our land lady was more than helpful and bent over backwards to make sure we had a great holiday. We would have preferred to have a lanai covering the pool - some biting insects at dusk.
A pleasure enjoyed completely........
We live in a bit of paradise on the northern tip of Door County WI. As much as we love it here...the winters are getting colder as we get older so we decided to spend the month of January in the subtropics of south Florida this year. In our long search we found this home and after speaking with Ana (the owner) we knew it was the right one. The home is located in a working neighborhood, quiet and friendly and a short distance from one of the most beautiful beaches in the area. It's a comfortable, clean, well furnished home. The kitchen is easy to work in (important to me) with all the things you need to cook and dine well. The bedrooms (beds) were very comfortable so our nights were restful...good nights sleep so we were ready for the next days adventures. The bathrooms were clean and well stocked. There was even a washer and dryer.....very welcome. The house is only a few blocks from 2 major routes, Tamiami Trail (north/south) and Immokalee Rd (east/west) making it very easy to get anywhere....shopping, eating, entertainment and of course BEACHES. We spent time in Old Naples and the Naples Pier. We went fishing with A&B Charters out of Tin City (awesome). We went to Naples Botanical Garden twice and swam at the YMCA lap pool 3 times a week or more. We explored south through the Everglades and north through Bonita Springs, Estero and Cape Coral. One day we spent the day at the Thomas Edison winter retreat in Fort Myers....an amazing day. We walked several beaches from Sanibel all the way down to Naples Beach and found Vanderbilt beach, right there within walking distance, to be the best of them all. It was all we anticipated...more then we expected. We even had the pleasure of meeting Ana and Renee (the owners). Gracious and warm are words that come to mind when I think of them and we wish we could have spent a little more time with them. Come to that...I wish we had booked through February. Oh well...maybe next year. All in all, our time at Azule was wonderful and I would recommend the hospitality and comfort of this lovely home to anyone. Thanks Ana and Renee for sharing .....we loved being there. Linda and Earl

Wreck Hard: The Ralphey Cox Story
Walk Hard: The Dewey Cox Story is a musical comedy from 2007 starred by John C. Reilly, and what you see here, it's a parody of the main poster from it;It turned out to be something quite easier than expected, and pretty damn funny to work with too XD!So, yeah… Walk Hard is a really awesome and funny movie, I remember fully seeing it way before Wreck-it Ralph, and once I realized Mr. Reilly was the same person involved in the voice acting of that last one… I just had to do this =PEven trying to remain close to the original poster design, I adjusted it content into more Ralph-related matters =3And seriously guys, his singing is really beautiful @3@ The OST for this movie, all my feelz XDAnyway, I hope you enjoy this drawing as much as me ^^!
Great Job!!! :D

just saying..
not sure darlin'! i talked to a different cousin/: wish i could help! it very well could be.
bc he's an angel and i don't even know. it just happened.
is anyone else ever struck with the realization that your favorite band members do normal things every day without getting recognized like they go grocery shopping and go to the movies and no one has any idea that they're standing next to someone that thousands of teenagers worship that seems so unfair i want to run into a band member at walmart how rad would that be
I thought about this when I went Christmas shopping with him. No one recognized him or treated him any different and it was actually really cool to see.

Here's my second strip for Shots magazine, featuring some Oscar-worthy eyeball acting.
I've also launched an online store selling some of my recent work. Feel free to have a browse.
What do you get when you mix tea with the mysteries of science? Teabag Theories, my new micro-comic-in-a-teabag. Volume 1: Gravitea will be on sale tomorrow at the Comiket fair at Central Saint Martins. There will be biscuits.
If you can't make it down and would like a copy teleported straight to your door, please click here.
Very chuffed to report that I've started a regular strip for Shots magazine, taking an irreverent look at life in the wonderful world of advertising and film. Here's the first strip, out now, featuring a series of career making (or breaking) decisions.
I recently had the pleasure of choosing my desert island comics for the Forbidden Planet International blog. It was tough to whittle it down to just eight choices, but here are the results, in no particular order.
Meet The Barkling. From my Score and Script project comic.
Here's my arm-aching one hour stab at Little White Lies magazine's Alfred Hitchcock sketch-a-thon. Managed to get it done with seconds to spare.
I was asked by Alex Fitch, presenter of Resonance FM's always excellent Panel Borders, to produce an illustration on the theme of movie monsters for Electric Sheep Magazine, the online mag dedicated to left-field and cult cinema. I chose four characters, all of which appeared in films that were a huge influence on me: Nosferatu, Medusa (Clash of the Titans), Beetlejuice and Pinhead (Hellraiser).
I really enjoyed revisiting these characters and the process inspired a creation of my own for the comic that is currently part of the Score and Script exhibition, on at the Centre for Recent Drawing until 15th December. See the previous post for more details.
The finished illustration for Electric Sheep Magazine can be seen here.
Very chuffed to be part of the Score and Script project created by the brilliant cartoonist John Miers for his PhD.
John produced a single page comic and asked a host of top-notch artists to interpret their own version of the comic, based on either a written description – the Script – or a diagrammatic description – the Score. The results, a total of 30 individual comic pages, including my contribution based on the Script, are being exhibited at the Centre for Recent Drawing until 15th December.
It's fascinating to see how each artist responds to the same brief with such wildly different outcomes, so it's well worth a visit. More details can be found here and I'll be sure to post some snippets from my page soon.

Do I look like a badass warrior chick? Had some lady on the side of the road paint my face like Mel Gibson's in Braveheart. Oddly, since the very moment she finished glopping me up, I've been speaking with an Australian accent … it's kinda sexy, actually! From now on, I shall be called Queen Boudica (or Bouddica — I've seen it spelled both ways), or if that's too hard to remember, howzabout Queen Bootylicious, cuz I don't think Boudica was Australian.
Jus' being silly … I'm exhausted, even though I did drink one of my famous supa powa shakes before the race. I sold my doggone blender, but my neighbor, whom I affectionately refer to as Ma Kettle, gave me this new one absolutely free of charge:
Pretty sweet, huh? In the cup I put some almond milk, a scoop of protein powder, two scoops of Jack3d, a banana, blueberry yogurt, and some crushed ice. I flipped it over and hooked it up, but I couldn't get the blender to turn on. I was thinking, "Oh my freakin' head, you get what you pay for, or in this case, don't pay for." There was a caution statement on it saying everything had to be on just right or it wouldn't work (for my safety, of course). So I tried to unscrew the base, but …
I unscrewed the cup instead … typical. Well, there was no way I was gonna run this race without my "go juice." Desperate times called for desperate measures:
Howzabout a nice bowl of vomit? Not really but quite a resemblance, doncha think?
The electric mixer was no match for the crushed ice, and … I later found out … not much of a match for the banana either:
Ew … chunks. I am a self-professed picky eater. Fruits and veggies are not my thang. I don't like bananas, but I like 'em liquefied up into a smoothie; I don't like tomatoes, but I love tomato sauce and ketchup; I don't like coffee, but hand me a bowl of coffee ice cream and I'll devour it; and blueberries … yuck, but blueberry muffins … YUM! I could go on forever. Thankfully, the ice in the powa shake gave the nanner chunks a sort of ice cream feel, so I was able to choke 'em down.
Oh yea, so the race … this is the fine, young man who organized the event, Dave Linn. I have a lot of admiration for Dave, as he has overcome some big obstacles in his life but always maintains a positive attitude. Love his shirt here:
Oh and just before the race started, this lady serenaded us with her bagpipes:
I usually cry when I hear bagpipes … love 'em, but Warrior chicks don't cry … we're tough … sheesh! Thank God she didn't play Amazing Grace! That would've been it for this Queen Boudica. I would've surrendered to the Romans instantly.
The race started, and somehow I ended up way in the back. Or at least it seemed like a lot of runners got ahead of me. I thought, "sh*t," but maintained my strategy of starting off at a slow-to-moderate pace instead of balls to the wall. I kept reminding myself that this was my first race and it was me against me … not me against the other runners. Ya, whatever lol. Not gonna lie … I don't like running and never have. It is not a normal part of my fitness regimen. The course had a fairly long, steadily climbing hill in the second half. I had to stop and walk some … wah, wah, wah.
Here I am at the end … it felt very good to be done, especially cuz I knew I'd never hafta do it again.
Don't get me wrong, I am glad I ran it. I just doubt I will ever run another. I had a respectable finish for a nonrunner … 4th female in my age group (medals only for first through third, though, pooey). If I counted correctly, I was the 10th female over the finish line out of 42 total female runners, and finished 30th out of 80 total runners. My time was 25 minutes and 33 seconds. Had hoped to get under 25, but dems da breaks.
This guy, Wallace, came in last place in the race … the caboose … but came in first place in my heart:
He was awesome! Wallace is 83 years old and ran it in a li'l over 51 minutes. He's a tough dude. I was told it took him over an hour to run it last year, so he has improved greatly since then!
I did score a pretty cool T-shirt for running the 5K:
And I do believe this warrior chick has earned a nap … off to La La Land y'all … hot diggety!
5 Responses to "Hey, Hey … My First 5K!"
That warrior chick but do more racers because she kicked some @#$ today!
great job,, top half of the field for your first race sounds respectabe to me
Thx y'all … just got up from a 2-hour nap LOL.
Good for you, Jen! I used to run once, but not competitively. I think 4 miles was my longest. Now I have a hard time walking up and down stairs!
Sorry, the comment form is closed at this time.

RFPs: Respond With What's Correct, Not Just What's Expected
by Stu Belshe on 1.25.2011 posted in Company News, Strategic Planning
Marketing is cyclical, and that will probably never change. Depending on your location, the time of each cycle may be different, but at some point in every large market, every agency and client partnership goes through the same process: A client realizes how much they are paying agencies, thinks it's too much, and decides to take things elsewhere. read more

Meatless Monday: Black Bean, Corn and Rice Stuffed Peppers
In January, we participated in the Daniel Fast as a family with our church family. It is perfectly suited for people on a gluten and dairy free diet as those are things that you are fasting from. I made these peppers one night. They were a smash it. Of course, you could add ground beef if you wanted but these were delish without the meat.
Black Bean, Corn, and Rice Stuffed Peppers
From The Daniel Fast by Susan Gregory
2 cans of black beans drained or 2 cups of cooked black beans
3 cups rice, divided (she recommends brown but any rice will do here)
1 cup corn kernels (frozen or canned , thaw if using frozen and drain if using canned)
2 scallions sliced
1/4 cup chopped cilantro
2 Tbsp extra virgin olive oil
2 Tbsps lime juice
1 clove garlic
salt and pepper
2-3 large bell peppers, cut in half lengthwise and cored
2 cups vegetable or tomato juice
1. Preheat the oven to 350 degrees
2.Using a large bowl, combine the beans, 1 cup of brown rice, corn, scallions, cilantro, olive oil, lime juice and garlic. Season with salt and pepper to taste.
3. Place the pepper halves in a baking dish ( glass or stoneware) and stuff with the bean mixture.
4. Carefully spoon some of the juice over the peppers being careful not to disrupt the filling. Pour the remainder of the juice in to the bottom of the dish. Cover with foil and bake for 45- 60 minutes.
5. To serve, place some of the remaining rice on the plate then place the stuffed pepper on top. Pour some o the juice from the pan over top.
You can not read the directions and add all the rice in the first step. The peppers are filling all by themselves. This gives you extra filling that you can freeze later. I would recommend freezing the filling separate from the peppers then filling before baking.

UICA's 198-seat film theatre shows alternative cinema, foreign films, and documentaries six days a week.
In 2007, UICA and its ArtWorks youth program was nationally recognized by the President's Committee on the Arts and the Humanities, the Institute of Museum and Library Services, the National Endowment for the Arts, and the National Endowment for the Humanities as "one of the top arts- and humanities-based programs in the country serving youth beyond the school hours."

University Housing and Campus Dining
Campus Living
University Housing is committed to providing a quality living and learning environment to freshmen and sophomores that encourages academic and personal development. Housing options include triple, double and private rooms in residence halls and apartments. Throughout the year, academic, social and service-oriented programs are offered to enhance students' experience.
How are the rooms furnished?
Residence hall rooms include a bed, a chest of drawers, a desk, a chair, a bookshelf and a wastebasket for each resident. Apartments have four to five bedrooms, a living room, a kitchen, and two bathrooms and are fully furnished. More housing move-in information, a list of allowed and restricted items, room dimensions and other details can be found on the University Housing website.
What staff is available for students living on campus?
The coordinators of student development (CSD) are full-time professionals with master's degrees who are skilled in leadership, program development, resource referral, and advising. Living in the halls and apartment communities, they train and direct resident/community advisors in their duties, supervise the desk staff, advise students on Hall Council functions, and oversee community standards and administrative procedures.
How are roommate disputes handled?
Many disputes can be resolved before they begin by roommates taking some time at the beginning of the year to complete a Roommate Agreement form and by addressing concerns in a respectful manner as they arise. Students can also talk with their resident advisor (RA) and/or the CSD, who will help them improve communication and help solve their differences.
How can I get more information regarding a Community Standards resolution my son or daughter has received?
University Housing expects residents to act maturely, responsibly and respectfully. You are encouraged to speak directly to your son or daughter to get as much information as possible about any incident. Due to the Family Educational Rights and Privacy Act, staff cannot provide information about student records without a Release of Information form. Students who would like staff to speak with their parents about a particular incident may turn in a completed Release of Information form allowing the discussion to occur. CSDs can provide general information about the judicial process.
Students found in violation of housing policies are subject to administrative and educational resolutions. If violations are serious or repetitive, the administrative resolution may include revocation of students' on-campus housing license. In such cases, students are required to move off campus but continue to pay for their on-campus housing and dining plan for the remainder of their housing contract.
Who can I talk to about a problem my son or daughter is having?
Students who come to you with a problem should be encouraged to contact their CSD. If you have a concern that you feel is affecting your son or daughter's well being, you may contact the CSD yourself. They appreciate being aware of your concerns and will follow up as appropriate.
How can I mail a letter or package to a student?
Include the following information when addressing mail:
Student's Name
Hall Name and Room Number
Cal Poly
One Grand Avenue
San Luis Obispo, CA 93410 + 4 digit extension
Cal Poly's Distribution Services department sorts and distributes all mail. Letters are delivered to the student's mailbox, and packages are delivered to a Residence Hall Package Center. It is recommended that the sender mail packages with delivery confirmation. Students are notified via e-mail when packages have been received. University Housing cannot accept delivery of packages from Distribution Services during academic breaks. Once the academic year ends, the campus does not forward student mail. See the "Mailing Addresses" link under the Freshmen, Transfer or Continuing menus on the University Housing website.
What course of action is recommended for students who have pre-existing medical or mental health concerns?
Students are strongly encouraged to set up a support network of medical and/or mental health professionals in the San Luis Obispo area before arriving on campus. Parents are encouraged to contact Cal Poly's Health and Counseling Services if assistance is needed to set up support services.
University Housing welcomes the opportunity to address concerns in a proactive manner. This allows parents, students and housing staff to become partners in setting up support systems that help students succeed. For more information, contact the Residential Life and Education staff at 805-756-5690.
How can freshman apply to live on-campus for a second year?
Current Cal Poly freshmen who have demonstrated mature, responsible and respectful behavior are given a "priority application window" during winter quarter to apply for second-year campus housing in Poly Canyon Village and the Cerro Vista Apartments. Details are provided to students and parents in January, prior to the date of their application window.
University Housing sends students e-mails, posts and distributes flyers, and places advertisements in Cal Poly's Mustang Daily newspaper prior to University Housing's application window.
What programs are available for second-year students living on campus?
The Poly Canyon Village Apartments house 2,700 students in fully furnished on-campus apartments. The Sophomore Success Program in Poly Canyon Village is designed to help second-year students living on campus with a successful transition to their junior year. Second-year residents benefit from events and services that support and expand upon their academic experience. The program addresses academic planning, community awareness and involvement, and autonomy. Staff promote mature and responsible living environments.
Off-Campus Living
What resources are available to help students plan for off-campus living?
University Housing offers a variety of resources and information on its website regarding off-campus living. Under the "Off Campus Living" heading, students will find a variety of links and information available to assist them.
Sources for off-campus rental listings include:
- www.housing.calpoly.edu. Click on "Off-Campus Living," then "Housing Listing Services."
- www.asi.calpoly.edu. Click on "Classifieds."
- www.slo-offcampushousing.com
- www.slorent.com
- www.slo.craigslist.org
- Local newspapers The Tribune and New Times
What assistance is available if students encounter unsafe housing in the community?
Many renters aren't aware of, or tend not to worry about, improperly maintained housing or safety issues until they find themselves in situations that cost them time and money. Students should be urged to carefully inspect rentals before signing agreements. Code Enforcement for the City of San Luis Obispo investigates residential building code violations. For more information or to report a suspected violation, visit the San Luis Obispo Community Development website.
What assistance is available if students encounter roommate or landlord/tenant disputes?
SLO Solutions offers free conflict resolution services specializing in landlord/tenant, neighbor/neighbor, and roommate/housemate conflicts. Call 805-549-0442 or visit SLO Solutions for more information.
Students can make an appointment for a free one-time, 15-minute legal consultation through the Associated Students Inc. (ASI) Business Office in the University Union, Room 212, or by calling 805-756-1281.
Cal Poly's Counseling Center can also assist students who need someone to talk to about roommate or landlord issues.
The State of California's Department of Consumer Affairs publishes a California Tenants' Guide that is helpful and "renter-friendly."
Campus Dining
Food is fuel for the mind. Restaurants on campus nourish and stimulate the intellect of thousands of Cal Poly students. Campus Dining is dedicated to providing a variety of quality fresh foods and exceptional service in a friendly environment.
Campus Dining offers over 20 restaurants and food venues on campus with at least one food operation open every day. Campus Dining offers a wide variety of fare that is vegetarian, non-dairy, wheat/gluten-free and low-fat to accommodate various food preferences and allergies. Fresh foods are brought in from local and regional producers to develop healthy and delicious menu items.
Campus Dining is constantly improving its operations to function more sustainably. Driven by consumer demand, all campus restaurants avoid using polystyrene (foam), and all of the cardboard, plastic, glass, and metal used is properly recycled. The culinary chefs are mindful about purchasing fruits, vegetables, dairy, and meat products from the Cal Poly Organic Farm and other local producers. Thousands of pounds of food material is composted and safely made into premium soil. Campus Dining operates biodiesel trucks and is continually looking for ways to green things up!
What are the dining plan options?
There are four dining plans for first-year students living on campus to choose from: Freedom, Flexibility, Security, and Apartment Life. The dining plans differ in the number of dining credits and amount of Plu$ Dollars. For more information, see the Campus Dining website.
The dining credit component, allocated weekly, can be used at several campus restaurants, providing dining convenience throughout the year. Plu$ Dollars can be used to buy food at any campus restaurant or marketplace. Plu$ Dollars are allocated quarterly and can be used at any time during the contractual period.
The PolyCard (Cal Poly ID) is used to track and redeem dining credits and Plu$ Dollars on campus.
How do students sign up for a dining plan?
After they are accepted into campus housing, students can sign up for a dining plan by visiting the Cal Poly portal and clicking on the "Dining Plan" tab. Access to the "Dining Plan" tab is available only after registration and payment for campus housing has been received and processed by the university. Sign-up for fall dining plans begins in the summer.
How do I pay for the dining plan?
Payments for campus dining plans may be made by credit card (Visa, MasterCard or Discover, with no service charge) or by check. If paying by check, sign up for a dining plan on the Cal Poly portal, print out the form, and mail it with your check. Make the check payable to "Cal Poly Corporation," write the student ID number on the check, and send it to:
Cal Poly Corporation Cashier
One Grand Avenue
Building 15
San Luis Obispo, CA 93407-0707
Payments should be postmarked by the due date to avoid a $25 late fee.
What is the Campus Express Club?
The Campus Express Club makes it easy for students to purchase food, supplies and services on campus with their PolyCard (Cal Poly ID). Parents and students can add value at any time by going online or dropping off a check at the Campus Dining Customer Service Office (Building 19). Students can use their Campus Express Club at all campus restaurants, El Corral Bookstore, Canyon Post, and Health Services, as well as for printing at computer labs and at many vending machines on campus.
To easily add value to a student's Campus Express Club, go to the Campus Dining website and click on "Add Value Now."
How can I send care packages to a student?
The Campus Dining Care Pack program makes it easy to send students birthday cakes, cookies, gift certificates, and other popular items. Packages are delivered to their students' homes or on-campus rooms. For details and order forms, go to the Campus Dining Care Pack website.
Do students with a dining plan need Campus Express Club, too?
Most students do use the Campus Express Club in addition to the dining plan since the dining plan only covers purchases at campus restaurants, markets and many vending machines. The Campus Express Club is convenient because it allows students to use their PolyCard at El Corral Bookstore, Pony Prints and Health Services, as well as for printing at campus computer labs.

Hey, billing errors happen. We've all opened a utility bill and said, "This doesn't seem right," and 9 times out of 10, it's all resolved with a quick phone call. Even when it's an aquarium-sized water bill for a three-bedroom house.
But what if that billing error happened, and you've authorized electronic billing? If you're like one Chicago-area family, you could end up overpaying by more than a hundred grand for a month's worth of electricity.
This could happen with any company, of course, but in this story, the customer had just signed up for a new program that allowed her to save money by using real-time billing for electricity -- something businesses have been doing for years (timing their heavy use for off-peak hours). She thought, "Oh, cool! I can save money this way."
And she probably will. But her excitement over the bill had a more immediate effect: It let her see, before the billing date, that she was about to be overbilled by, oh, about $107,400. The previous month, her bill was $276 and she used 2,236 kilowatt hours. The month in question, it was mistakenly thought that she had used 1.6 million kilowatt hours for a bill of $107,625.16. (Don't forget the sixteen cents!)
The taxes and fees alone were more than $16,000!
Fortunately, she had a few days before the billing cycle took effect, so she was able to call, point out the problem, and have the bill corrected before she had her bank account and automatic overdraft protection gutted.
The lesson? If you're going to do automatic anything, keep your eye on it. It's great to have your bills paid on time with no effort on your part, but you still need to make a date to open the mailed copies and check the amounts. It's too easy for mistakes to sneak through, and if they're considerably smaller than this one -- which is a lot more likely! -- you might never catch them.
When I saw a financial adviser (who was more of a financial therapist), she actually suggested I not do any automatic billing and said I should keep my paper billing in place rather than switching to email. Her thinking was that if you have a stack of envelopes, you are more likely to put them in a folder and spend an evening looking them over. She also had me write each bill's recurring due date on my calendar. That way, I wasn't distanced from the bill-paying process.
Even if you stick with paperless billing and automatic bill-pay, it's a good policy to print things out and watch the bottom line. At least for me and my money -- who have a stormy, rocky relationship rife with me often feeling abandoned! -- it's sometimes the only thing keeping us together.
Has automatic bill-pay ever gotten you in trouble?
Image via taxbrackets.org
This is exactly why I don't do automatic billing with most companies, and specifically with utilities. In my personal experience, utilities tend to over bill A LOT!
Why would any one give free access to their money to any one else? If you do it for the convenience then your laziness will end up costing you
My husband was gungh hoe in favor of automatic bill pay, until the bank had a computer glitch and indicated that it paid the bill but because of the glitch, it didn't get paid and we were stuck with late fees. If you do auto pay, watch 'em like a hawk!
autopay is the debbil.
I can only imagine if this family had not looked over their bill and then have it go through. OMG! If this happened to this family over electricity, I can only imagine what other horror stories are out there.

A memorial service for former College of San Mateo wrestling coach Lee Allen will be held on Saturday at 10 a.m. at the Community Methodist Church in Half Moon Bay.
Allen, 77, died on Monday of congestive heart failure.
The two-time Olympian began his college coaching career at CSM in 1964, moving to Skyline College in 1969 to begin the program at CSM's sister campus. His final CSM team (1968-69) won the North Section state qualifying tournament.
Allen held the unique distinction of competing in the Olympic Games in both freestyle (1956) and Greco-Roman (1960) wrestling and was on the first U.S. team to compete at the World Championships, placing sixth in the 136.5-pound freestyle division in 1961 in Yokohama, Japan, before becoming CSM's coach.
Allen was also the head coach of the 1980 U.S. Olympic Greco-Roman Team (which did not compete due to the U.S. boycott of the Moscow event). He was also head coach of four U.S. World Championship Greco-Roman teams and is recognized for his years as wrestling coaching at Half Moon Bay High School.
Following his retirement from more than three decades of community college coaching, Allen became the first women's wrestling coach at Menlo College where he coached both of his daughters to distinguished careers. Sara and Katherine Fulp-Allen each won a pair of national titles at Menlo. Both have been candidates for U.S. Olympic teams and are resident athletes at the U.S. Olympic Training Center. (Sara has won a U.S. Senior Open national title and Katherine was a World University Games champion.)
Allen is also survived by his wife Joan, a physical education teacher at El Granada Elementary School.
In lieu of flowers, the family requests donations be made to the Olympians for Olympians Relief Fund at www.oorf.org.

Ketones, serum; ketones, blood
This blood test measures ketones, a byproduct of digestion, in your blood. When you have a high level of ketones in your blood, it's called diabetic ketoacidosis (DKA). DKA is a complication of diabetes that can be fatal if it's not treated.
When you have diabetes, your body doesn't make enough insulin, a hormone that regulates the metabolism of fat and carbohydrates. Or it can't properly use insulin to break down the food you eat. When your body doesn't have enough insulin, it breaks down fat for energy instead of glucose, or sugar. The breakdown of fat produces ketones, which can build up in your blood and spill over into your urine if your diabetes is not under control. If your ketone levels are too high, it could cause you to go into a diabetic coma.
You might have this test if you have symptoms of DKA. These include extreme thirst, tiredness, vomiting, trouble breathing, fruity odor on your breath, high blood sugar levels, and high levels of ketones in your urine. You can test for ketones in your urine with test strips.
Your doctor might order blood glucose levels to see if your diabetes is out of control. You might also have a urine test to check for ketones in your urine.
Your doctor also might order an electrocardiogram, or EKG, which checks your heart's electrical activity. DKA can affect the heart.
A lab test result may be affected by many things, including the method the laboratory uses to do the test. If your test results are different from the normal value, you may not have a problem. To learn what the results mean for you, talk with your health care provider.
A normal test result is negative and means you have no ketone bodies in your blood. If you test positive for ketones, it could mean your diabetes is not under control. You could have DKA.
Some people who are starving also test positive for ketones.
Ketone bodies in the blood can be a sign of alcoholism, too.
The test requires a blood sample, which is drawn through a needle from a vein in your arm.
Taking a blood sample with a needle carries risks that include bleeding, infection, bruising, or feeling dizzy. When the needle pricks your arm, you may feel a slight stinging sensation or pain. Afterward, the site may be slightly sore.
Be sure your doctor knows about all medicines, herbs, vitamins, and supplements you are taking. This includes medicines that don't need a prescription and any illicit drugs you may use. Some, such as diuretics and blood pressure medicines, can lead to a false-positive ketone test.
Certain diets, such as a high-protein diet or a one that is high in fat and low in carbohydrates, also can cause increased ketones in your blood. Drinking large amounts of alcohol also can affect your test results.
You might also have a high level of ketones in your blood if you have diabetes and you're sick with a cold or the flu.
You don't need to prepare for this test.

Cervical cancer vaccines are a good thing. Let me repeat that: Cervical cancer vaccines are a good thing.
Almost all of humanity will have HPV at some point in their lives. If you're human and have sex, well, it's a safe bet you'll encounter HPV: It's a fact of life.
Most HPV infections are harmless and go away on their own, but it doesn't always work this way: each year in the U.S. there are over 30,000 HPV-related cancers. And that's not even talking about 300,000-plus cases of genital warts (the types of HPV that cause warts are different from those linked with cancers).
This week, Katie Couric's show (Katie) aired an extensive segment on HPV vaccines. Rather than offering a thoughtful discussion, the episode was a sensationalist muck of misinformation.
Appearing on the show was a mother who says her daughter's death a few weeks after receiving an HPV vaccine was caused by the shots. Also profiled was a young woman who, along with her mom, blames the vaccine for a variety of ailments she says she's endured. Both women were offered as cautionary tales, and an HPV expert was on hand to sagely intone the need to weigh the benefits of vaccination versus the risks. To be sure, we don't wish to minimize the suffering of these families and patients – our hearts go out to the mom who lost her daughter as well as the other young woman who's been dealing with a variety of health issues. We believe they are both sincere and deserving of compassion – we'll just gently say we think they're misguided.
Some background: the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) says that roughly 57 million doses of HPV vaccines have been given since the first of the vaccines became available in 2006. Through the Vaccine Adverse Event Reporting System (VAERS), CDC and the FDA collect, investigate, and publish their findings related to reports of "adverse events" (side effects) with all vaccines licensed in the U.S.
Let's be clear: vaccine safety is taken seriously, and claims from those who believe they've been injured by an immunization are researched and reported. And what do the experts tell us about HPV vaccine safety?
There have been a number of similar accounts from around the world along the lines of those featured on Katie, of course, stories of various maladies cropping up after someone gets an HPV jab. What's usually (conveniently?) overlooked in these stories is that when experts and authorities follow-up and investigate these claims, they never find any link between the HPV vaccines and any serious adverse events. Nada.
Just because someone reports getting a side effect related to a vaccine doesn't mean the vaccine caused it, of course. And that's the rub: I can tell you I turned purple after my latest immunization and someone can, in a technically-correct sort of way, trumpet a headline Man Says Cancer Jab Turned Him Purple. Even if I did in fact develop a new hue to my skin tone and it happened for reasons having nothing to do with the shots, that piece usually gets lost in translation.
The evidence (you know, those pesky facts that often get in the way) tells us that not only are HPV vaccines safe, but they actually work really well. Research shows that in the first four years HPV vaccination was available in the U.S., infections with the HPV types covered by the vaccine dropped in 14-19 year old girls by 56%. The kicker? Only about half of adolescent girls have had even one of the shots in the series, and fewer than 1/3 have had all three doses!
The duration of protection was also questioned on the Katie Show, with an expert implying the shots essentially stop working after only five years. Actually, current studies indicate the vaccines likely convey at least 9-10 years' worth of protection (future research may find protection lasts longer, too). Studies are on-going to see if booster shots are needed and – if in fact they are- we'll know well in advance before protection wanes.
HPV vaccines are a public health triumph not only women's health, but men's too. As the numbers above tell you, we're having a dickens of a time getting these vaccines to enough young people as it is…and now comes Katie. How many women (and men) will now develop an HPV-related disease because of these sensationalistic comments that simply aren't backed by facts?
So do something! If you agree with us and want to speak out:

OBJECTIVE: This exploratory study examined the characteristics of a
group of unusual and previously undescribed patients with major affective
disorder who not only had been continuously symptomatic for prolonged
periods of time but were also so functionally impaired that they required
years of continuous care in psychiatric facilities or by family members.
METHOD: Twenty-seven inpatients with major mood disorders and 29 inpatients
with schizophrenia were recruited from a large state hospital; 27
outpatients with major mood disorders were recruited from an affiliated
outpatient facility. The research battery included the Structured Clinical
Interview for DSM-III-R--Patient Version, the Premorbid Adjustment Scale,
and a semistructured interview designed to assess demographic, family
history, developmental, and course information. RESULTS: Inpatients with
deteriorated affective disorder differed from outpatients with
nondeteriorated affective disorder along several important dimensions,
including family history of mental illness, birth-related problems,
physical disorders in infancy, premorbid functioning, presence of mixed
episodes and rapid cycling, and medication non-compliance between
hospitalizations. Inpatients with deteriorated affective disorder differed
from inpatients with schizophrenia on the Premorbid Adjustment Scale.
Patients with bipolar affective disorder differed from those with unipolar
disorder on many of the variables associated with deterioration of
functioning. CONCLUSIONS: Birth-related problems, physical disorders in
infancy, and poor premorbid adjustment in childhood and adolescence appear
to play an important role in deterioration of functioning among patients
with unipolar depression. Disruption in treatment because of medication
noncompliance and the appearance of mixed episodes and rapid cycling are
associated with functional decline in bipolar affective disorder. Several
characteristics previously considered specific to deterioration of
functioning in schizophrenia, such as a high rate of birth complications
and poor premorbid adjustment, appear to be associated with functional
deterioration among patients with major depression as well.

Dakota Fanning to Bare Fangs in 'New Moon'
Extra: Young starlet Dakota Fanning has confirmed longtime rumors that she'll star as tiny vampire Jane in the hotly anticipated "Twilight" sequel, "New Moon."
The 15-year-old actress' role as the deadly bloodsucker has been confirmed to People magazine by a rep from Summit Entertainment. Filming for "New Moon" begins in Vancouver later this month -- and the cast is already gushing over the script!
"We did just get a script -- we're shooting the rest of the films back to back," Nikki Reed -- who plays Rosalie -- dished to the magazine. "Chris Weitz is amazing and I think it's going to be wonderful."
"New Moon" is set to rise in theatres late November.

My comment about the specific underwater mount is just a cool idea, but totally useless for most of the time. but still cool. Than again Fairy did say to wait until Maelstrom. Where it would be cool, and practical. If most zones or some are all underwater. So you would need a mount for underwater, but than this creates the problem of underwater breathing. Druids will cry out for joy their underwater form is no longer useless. Hunter's aspect of the fish trainable at level 81. Engineers could make belt clips that allow for underwater breathing that every lvl 80 to 90 would need. Making engineering viable again.

Sorry, how exactly is it "unplayable" without buying gold? I've been playing since August and have been very much enjoying it, I'm raiding with a guild at a pace I like (9/12 normal at the moment) and am spending less on WoW than I used to on other games for a similar (to me) level of enjoyment. The odds are I won't be purchasing this mount (although if a good percentage of the proceeds go to charity I might be tempted), but I'm not entirely sure why it's a bad thing for Blizzard to release cosmetic items for people that desire them.
I'm glad you've found another game you enjoy more, but I find it very odd that you've decided to come here and mock those that enjoy this game while saying absolutely nothing productive. Enjoy whatever it is you're doing now, but don't try and annoy those who enjoy something different just because you don't like it. Everyone has their own taste in what they find fun, try and respect that.

Although the Transcend SSD18M solid-state drive is astronomically expensive, the price is balanced with its tiny footprint and impressive transfer speeds. It's easy to geek out on the beauty of the design, and even though hardcore nerds will love its versatility, the simple fact is that bargain-hunting consumers can get much higher capacities for a lot less, at least for now.
So far, the Crucial m4 offers the best value among SSDs. Though it's not the fastest, it's by far the most affordable among its peers.
The Kyocera Jet is a bargain 3G multimedia phone for Amp'd Mobile but is saddled with an underwhelming VGA camera, a small and annoying keypad, and a tendency to freeze at inopportune moments.
Pricing not available
There's a premium to be paid, but the massive Alienware 18 is a show-off-worthy desktop replacement that takes down even the newest PC games, and is just plain fun to use.
Pricing not available
Though we wish it cost less, the Freedom Mobile Power is an ultraportable, easy-to-use accessory for charging smartphones and other gadgets when you're away from a power source.
Pricing not available
Combining the simplicity of SD recording, a roomy 30GB hard drive, a long zoom, and pleasing image quality, the SDR-H18 is a good choice for a standard-definition, hard-drive camcorder.
The Apricorn Aegis Mini is not the speediest drive, but it performs admirably for its size. Its thoughtful design and included software make it the perfect companion to your ultraportable notebook.
Data hits the road with Transcend's inexpensive StoreJet USB hard drive, but it's hardly high performance.
Pricing not available
It's the best of the small handful of current tablet/all-in-one hybrids, with a subtle, sophisticated design and good battery life, but this new genre is still in its early days.
