'I Forgot to Take My Tampon Out!'
An OB/GYN eases our fears.
When a colleague admitted she had forgotten to take out her tampon for a few days and was now concerned she had Toxic Shock Syndrome (TSS), we were surprised at how many others chimed in that they too had forgotten a tampon at least once.
Toxic Shock gained notoriety in the late 1970s and early '80s when superabsorbent tampons, designed to be used for the duration of a period without removing or leaking, were marketed to women. Not long after, there was a spike in the number of women contracting TSS -- which can be fatal. These tampons were pulled from the market, and the number of cases dropped. But concerns about contracting TSS while menstruating still exist.
This had us freaked, so we asked OB/GYN and momlogic expert Dr. Suzanne Gilberg-Lenz how common TSS really is.
Dr. Lenz says: "If this happens to you, don't feel bad, and please don't NOT come in for help if you need it ... but, for real, girlfriends, PLEASE keep track of your tampons! If you only knew how we feel when you come in sheepishly requesting a quick check down there, or how about the surprised gasp (yours, NOT MINE -- because I am holding my breath!!!) when I start your exam and discover the cute little treasure of your 10-day-old tampon in there. Lord have mercy! That's right ... even your gyno can get grossed out, and let me tell you -- if you can gross ME out, that is impressive!"
She continues: "OK, so now that I have pierced the veil around that little taboo ... here's the deal: If you don't have a fever or flu-like symptoms, don't freak out. Toxic Shock is not very common, though it can be very bad -- so if you know you left a tampon (or 2) in and can't get them out yourself, see your provider immediately! She or he may recommend treatment."
Have YOU ever forgotten a tampon? Surely we're not the only ones!
|Dr. Suzanne Gilberg-Lenz completed her undergraduate education at Wesleyan University and post-baccalaureate pre-med studies at Mills College. She earned her medical degree from the USC School of Medicine and has been in private practice for 9 years. She is the co-founder of Cedar Sinai Medical Center's Green Committee and lives in Los Angeles with her husband and two children.

When Stephen Doughton moved into his uptown Charlotte, N. C. apartment, he knew he would appreciate a different view of the city.
"It's a little higher," said Stephen. But he never thought he would get so up close with Mother Nature. "I realized a bird had flown into my window and it was sitting there dead!"
Millions of birds like the one Stephen met fall victim to the nighttime skyline.
"We can find dead birds or we can find live birds that we would then take to rehabilitate," said Lights Out Coordinator Jill Palmer.
The culprit: Lights on tall buildings can confuse the birds.
"They will continue to circle the building until they either get exhausted and fall or they crash into the glass or the side of the building," said Stephen.
The Audubon Society has found more than 40 dead migratory birds including warblers, thrushes and raptors.
"These birds winter in Central and South America; they are mostly in the mountainous areas as close as North Carolina, as far up as Canada where they spend the summers breeding," said Palmer.
They hope data they gather will mean lights out for building owners.
"We want to remind them to turn off their lights during that migration period only," said Palmer.
That's a challenge these bird lovers hope residents will take as well.

FDA seeks tougher rules on antibacterial soapsThe government's preliminary ruling lends new credence to longstanding warnings from researchers who say the chemicals are, at best, ineffective and at worst, a threat to public health
WASHINGTON (AP) — The Food and Drug Administration says there is no evidence that antibacterial chemicals used in liquid soaps and washes help prevent the spread of germs, and there is some evidence they may pose health risks.
The agency said it is revisiting the safety of chemicals like triclosan in light of recent studies suggesting they can interfere with hormone levels and spur the growth of drug-resistant bacteria.
The government's preliminary ruling lends new credence to longstanding warnings from researchers who say the chemicals are, at best, ineffective and at worst, a threat to public health.
Under its proposed rule released Monday, the agency will require manufacturers to prove that their antibacterial soaps and body washes are safe and more effective than plain soap and water. If companies cannot demonstrate the safety and effectiveness of their products, they would have to be reformulated, relabeled or possibly removed from the market. The agency will take comments on its proposal before finalizing it in coming months.
"Due to consumers' extensive exposure to the ingredients in antibacterial soaps, we believe there should be a clearly demonstrated benefit from using antibacterial soap to balance any potential risk," said Dr. Janet Woodcock, director of the FDA's drug center.
The agency's proposal comes more than 40 years after the agency was first tasked with evaluating triclosan and similar ingredients. Ultimately, the government agreed to publish its findings only after a three-year legal battle with the environmental group, Natural Resources Defense Council, which accused the FDA of delaying action on triclosan. The chemical is found in an estimated 75 percent of antibacterial liquid soaps and body washes sold in the U.S.
The FDA's preliminary rule only applies to personal hygiene products, but it has implications for a $1 billion industry that includes thousands of antibacterial products, including kitchen knives, toys, pacifiers and toothpaste.
Most of the research surrounding triclosan's safety involves animal studies, which cannot always be applied to humans. But some scientists worry the chemical can disrupt hormones in humans too, raising the risk of infertility, early puberty and other developmental problems. Other experts are concerned that routine use of antibacterial chemicals like triclosan is contributing to a surge in drug-resistant germs, or superbugs, that render antibiotics ineffective.
In March 2010, the European Union banned the chemical from all products that come into contact with food, such as containers and silverware.

The lawyers defending a convicted murder are putting together a case to keep him off death row. Ricky Gray killed seven people, including the Harvey family, who had two little girls.
For seven years, the convicted murderer has sat on death row for a killing spree that included two children.
Lawyers say they will try to prove that Gray's lawyers were insufficient when it came to defending him during the trial and appeal process.
Even though this is Gray's last attempt, he won't be in the courthouse as his lawyers make their arguments in front of a three-judge panel.
"State and federal law requires that appellate court review the process by which they were sentenced to death, to ensure minimum safeguards that are in place have been satisfied," said NBC12 legal analyst Steve Benjamin.
It's a series of murders that grabbed national attention because of the brutality and number of victims. The youngest were sisters Stella and Ruby Harvey.
Ricky Gray, with the help of Ray Dandridge, also killed the girls' parents, Bryan and Kathryn. Then they set the Woodland Heights home on fire.
A week later, Percyell Tucker, his wife Mary and their daughter, Ashley Baskerville - who was an accomplice in the Harveys' murder - were also killed.
Gray was sentenced to death for the girls' murders.
Benjamin says if he loses this appeal, it would take an action by the U.S. supreme court or governor to prevent it - but such action would be rare.
"In this case, there is no claim of innocence. There is no presentation of the mitigating factors, such as mental illness," said Benjamin.
Benjamin predicts if Gray's lawyers can't make their case, the execution could happen by the end of the year.
Gray's case is expected to be heard in the Court of Appeals this Wednesday. Ray Dandridge, the other man convicted for the murders, is serving a life sentence.

Verizon Fios To Hit New York City
Posted by Andru Edwards - Categories: Internet
When Verizon first started deploying their Fios internet service a year ago, many lamented that it was only being done in remote locations of the country. It now looks like Fios is ready to hit the big time, as Verizon will be bringing it to New York City. The NYC deployment will begin in Bayside, Queens. Verizon has stated that they do not have the technology to serve the multi-dwelling homes yet. Something tells me that this is more of a business decision than a technical one. Some of those Manhattan apartments are really old. Getting fiber to each unit would be a nightmare.

They are laying the footprint around here in the Philadelphia area. I can't wait. I'll take 30.0/5.0 for $199/mo, that's a steal at todays rates. Of course I'll be splitting the connection up amongst my neighbors to offset the cost.
Man, I wish they would hurry. We need them to be everywhere so even if we don't use it (though I can't see why not) it would be huge competion to other ISP's to up their offerings (such as Comcast).
But also sucks they aren't planning one doing "multi-dwelling homes" as of yet…

Experience and Expertise - Dr. Brian Bodnar
Brian Bodnar's was first introduction to chiropractic was during his junior year of high school, when during a basketball game he suffered an ankle injury and was forced to leave the game. A friend's father, who was a chiropractor, assessed the ankle and performed several adjustments on the sidelines. The pain diminished almost instantly and Dr. Bodnar was able to return to the game. Following this incident, Dr. Bodnar decided he was going to be a chiropractor. He would later learn that the field of chiropractic is much more than providing relief from injuries and pain. A healthy spine and nervous system sets the foundation for total health, as the nervous system controls every function in the body.
Dr. Bodnar graduated from St. Vincent College, where he majored in Biology and Chemistry, in 1993. He received his doctorate from Palmer College of Chiropractic in Davenport, IA, in 1997. Palmer College was the first Chiropractic College in the world, establishing the profession in 1895. It is considered to provide the utmost education in the chiropractic field. While at Palmer, Dr. Bodnar played Division 1 National Rugby and was President of the Pettibon Spinal Biomechanics Club.
Dr. Brian Bodnar has been serving the Alexandria Community as a Chiropractor since 1997.

"Casey Corridan is not the first acupuncturist I have been to, however I need never go to any other. I first saw her 2 years ago, desperate with sciatica pain and left feeling 80% improved. By the next visit, I was at 100% .We then moved along to other issues I was having. If anything at all is not quite right, tell Casey about it. She'll treat and improve it, and often ...presto...the problem is gone! She is enormously knowledgeable and spot on in her treatment and then she gives a great massage! Finally, its the happy feeling of being in the company of such a lovely and warm human being. You'll see......"

Grand Meadow
Prep Blog: Looking Back At The Prep Bowl
even state champions were crowned last weekend as the Minnesota State High School League hosted its final Prep Bowl at the Metrodome. For seven teams, getting to hoist a championship trophy last weekend made the extra weightlifting and work over the summer worth it. Over the course of 13 or 14 weeks, teammates became best friends as they all drove toward a common goal: Getting to the Metrodome for the Prep Bowl and winning it.
Dome Hosts Final High School Prep Bowl
For more than three decades, the weekend after Thanksgiving has been special for high school football players. This weekend will be the last time the Prep Bowl will be held at the Metrodome. The venue is coming down to make way for a new Vikings stadium. For Noah Rockholl, the quarterback on last year's football team, Friday is a special day. "You can drive through the streets of Underwood today and I guarantee you won't see a single person or a car in the town," Rockholl said. "The whole the whole town's here."
Grand Meadow Beats Underwood In 9-Man Title Game
Trenton Bleifus ran for two touchdowns and threw for another, and Grand Meadow won its first state football title by beating Underwood 28-6 in the 9-Man Championship at the Prep Bowl.
Prep Blog: Previewing The Final Prep Bowl At The Metrodome
It's what every kid who has ever put on a football uniform dreams of: Playing at the Metrodome the weekend after Thanksgiving for a state championship. Between Friday and Saturday, 14 teams will play for titles and seven will finish their seasons as state champions.
Prep Blog: Prep Bowl Set After Semifinal Weekend
The match-ups are set for the Prep Bowl, where high school football teams leave the Metrodome as state champions or get so close and have it go wrong in one game. Now all high school football fans can do is wait a week as state championship games in all seven classes will be played the Friday or Saturday after Thanksgiving.
Prep Blog: Recapping The Prep Bowl Winners
It's hard to believe that the high school football season has come to an end. Seven football teams celebrated championship seasons between the Friday and Saturday's Prep Bowl games at the Metrodome.
Clinton-Graceville-Beardsley Wins Title Game
Austin Maanum ran for 185 yards and two touchdowns, Jason Montonye scored three times and Clinton-Graceville-Beardsley defeated Grand Meadow 40-22 for the Class 9-Man Championship at Friday's Prep Bowl.

I grew up in Rhodesia, now Zimbabwe. The early part of my childhood was idyllic. With my family I was part of a farming community in Shamva, an outlying district about two hours from the capital. Our house and garden were surrounded by wild virgin bush and I spent many happy hours exploring this untamed land and its animals. I grew to passionately love the earth and my beautiful country.
Though I knew nothing about politics at the time, my people, the Europeans who ran Rhodesia, decided that they would not give up the country to its African inhabitants. As a result many African men crossed to neighbouring countries to arm and train themselves to fight for their country. Their main strategy was to kill the European farmers on their isolated farms and drive the Europeans out of the country. I became embroiled in this war for the rest of my childhood.
My home changed suddenly from a natural oasis in the deep bush to a very heavily defended fortress. On the edge of our garden my father erected a strong barbed wire fence with spotlights, and he graded bare a wide area outside the fence so there was no cover for anyone attacking us. Sand bags were placed around all our bedroom windows, and metal screens covered the glass so grenades could not be chucked in.
We were connected directly to the army by radio because if we were attacked our telephone lines would be cut and the road to the house would be planted with land mines so we couldn't get out. From the age of eight I was armed and trained to shoot to protect my family. I lived in this war until I left the country at fifteen, when my father decided he did not want me or my brother to go into the army, and we emigrated to the UK.
Although we were never attacked and I wasn't involved in direct action I spent my time as a child armed and on high alert, in danger virtually all the time. Many people in my area were killed, including some very close friends. I was often deeply afraid and grew convinced I was going to be killed. Then, when I was 15, we suddenly left Africa and came to live in Wales. I buried my past, and got on with my life and tried to look ahead rather than behind.
As a young man I marched forward into life with great gusto, determined to make a success of myself. Unfortunately I wasn't able to fully leave my past behind, and I was troubled for many years with terrible nightmares. The format was always the same: I would dream that someone was after me, that they wanted to kill me, and I would do everything I could to get away from them until I realised I couldn't escape, then I would turn on them, attack them, and kill them in an extremely violent manner. I would wake feeling very traumatised.
I couldn't sleep deeply and would sleep on high alert, instantly awake at the slightest sound, ready to leap into action. I also suffered from guilt at leaving friends behind in the war. I wasn't able to contain my fear all the time and instinctively dived for the floor if there was a loud bang or sudden disturbance, which caused me deep embarrassment.
As well as this, in my late twenties my anger and rage felt like it was going out of control. Even when I felt safe with people I would punch walls and doors and smash up the houses I was living in. I was finding it harder and harder to bottle up the anger I'd invoked as a child to protect my family, and I felt like a killer. Though I'd never killed anyone, except in my nightmares, I felt soaked in violence and death and had no idea what to do with these feelings within me.
But, when someone mentioned the ManKind Project and the NWTA (new warrior training adventure), I instinctively knew this could help me. I wasn't really sure why men's work would help, since I was afraid of men and distrusted them, but I could sense it was important for me to go on this weekend. This was really my own Rites of Passage.
The early part of the weekend was very difficult for me; I felt very thoroughly triggered into my fear, rage and darkness. However, I was able to reopen my past for the first time in my life. I was very lucky to have a wonderful African-American man working me, and I was able to own the angry, killing, murderous, raging, dangerous parts of myself. I was able to look him in the eye and confess that I felt like a murderer. These parts of me were accepted, even loved, by this man and the other men present, and I felt a huge burden lift off me. I felt acknowledged and seen as who I am for the first time ever. This meant a huge amount to me.
For many years after my MKP adventure I've continued my work in the Bath iGroup , and slowly, with the help of some wonderful brothers, I've continued to bring my past out of hiding and integrate it into me and my life.
I am now working on yet another level and am gradually realising just how much of my life I've lived "in emergency", on high alert, ever-ready to protect those I love. Now I'm feeling very tired of this and I'm looking at how I can relax from my past. So I continue my work, trying to get the best fit possible. The journey continues…
Hugh N
(iGroups are an ongoing men's groups which support MKP initiated men after they have been through the Rites Of Passage weekend… they are set up by men who have been through the MKP weekend initiation and are found in every country where MKP offers the NWTA or New Warrior Training Adventure – Editor)

aiberii-deactivated20120923 asked: stridercest
hmm so you didn't say which flavor of stridercest so i'm going to go with guardians because favorite flavor
who is the big spoon/little spoon
dave is the big spoon, always and forever. they don't actually spoon much though, they generally sort of sprawl all over the bed when they're sleeping.
what is their favorite non-sexual activity
they really like playing video games together. any game that has a collab mode, they do it. also, they're really big on watching movies together and commentating on the plot and the characters and the SHIPS. they turn into the most obsessive of tumblr-fangirls when they watch movies, they'll sometimes start writing deliberately terrible fanfiction about two characters they've decided they ship while they're watching. also they like to just lay in bed together and do different things but be in each other's company.
who uses all the hot water in the morning
they often shower together to save time and not have anyone use up the hot water, but if dave happens to sleep through when bro's showering (which happens fairly often, because bro usually wakes up earlier) he can expect to wake up to all the hot water gone in the wake of one of bro's ridiculous three hour showers.
what they order from take out
they don't order from take out too often. bro usually cooks, or they go out for dinner. but occasionally dave will insist that he makes dinner that night, bro needs a rest, et cetera, and that's when they do get take out, because "i'll cook you dinner" very quickly turns into "i set a pot of spaghetti on fire, for our own safety i'm staying out of the kitchen, let's order in." when they do get takeout it's usually chinese food, because that gives them the opportunity to have fortune cookie shenanigans. pizza is also a thing they get sometimes, because dave loves eating cold pizza for breakfast. (bro finds this disgusting.)
what is the most trivial thing they fight over
which pony is best pony honestly though, though, probably bro's job? because dave is loaded so bro really doesn't have to work and bro's clientele is made up of some seriously creepy people and the main reason they can't be public about their relationship is the fact that bro's well known for making porn and dave's like dude you don't have to do this i've got us covered here. but bro's just like no man. no.
who does most of the cleaning
dave, usually. bro leaves his shit around everywhere and doesn't even care. dave's like "no stop what are you doing GOD I'LL JUST PICK IT UP"
eventually though, dave hires a maid service, not to keep things clean, but to threaten bro into being more organized so the maid doesn't throw out any of his stuff that's left lying around.
who leaves their stuff around
who remembers to buy the milk
both of them. they're pretty good about groceries.
who remembers anniversaries
they both do, and they both make big shenanigans out of them. irony and all that, but also because it's fun and they love it. they go out to a big fancy restaurant for dinner every time and dress up because 1. fancy restaurant and 2. bro loves seeing dave in formal clothes because it's totally hot. and they get the fanciest things on the menu because man, dave's rich as balls they can afford to have caviar and lobster and really good steak and expensive as fuck wine once a year.
then they go home and have sex.

KNOXVILLE — When it comes to Morehead State basketball, it would be tough to find a more critical or discerning eye than Wayne Martin, who played for, coached and now serves on the board of regents of the Kentucky university.
No 37-year-old men's basketball coach at Louisiana Tech who's failed to reach the NCAA tournament in three years on the job should ever turn down a coaching vacancy at the University of Tennessee. Never. Ever.
Perhaps you've found yourself mildly entertained by the start of the NBA playoffs the past couple of days.
Until this past Wednesday morning, the only two things Heath Claiborne, Robert Pomeroy and Jamey Roberts had in common were (1) they all had signed an online petition to bring back former Tennessee basketball coach Bruce Pearl as soon as possible, and (2) none of them wanted Cuonzo Martin to coach the Volunteers past this season.
Ryan Martin was pushing a lawnmower around a Hixson front yard last September, trying to put an extra $20 in his pocket, when his cell phone rang.
Found on a Duke website Wednesday afternoon was the following Tweet from one Keith Stubbs: "Fun fact: if Jabari Parker stays in college he'll get free food."
The only ingredient missing from Cuonzo Martin's stunning move from Tennessee to California on Tuesday was a soundtrack. Something along the lines of Johnny Paycheck's classic, "Take This Job and Shove It!"
CLEVELAND, Tenn. — Recognizing his center's somewhat superior intellectual skills in that long-ago summer of 1968, Cincinnati Bengals quarterback Sam Wyche often leaned on University of Tennessee great Bob Johnson for help when calling audibles for the expansion franchise.
KNOXVILLE — Josh Dobbs for the Heisman.
ARLINGTON, Texas — In another time, in a different sport, what Connecticut used Monday night to defeat Kentucky in NCAA basketball championship game inside the AT&T Stadium the Dallas Cowboys also call home was known as "Doomsday Defense."
ARLINGTON, Texas — Connecticut coach Kevin Ollie tried to tell the nation Sunday that it would be this way, that his Huskies would harass Kentucky into oblivion, just as they had the last two opponents they'd played in this amazing NCAA men's basketball tournament.
ARLINGTON, Texas — As Kentucky and Connecticut readied for Monday night's NCAA basketball title game, the sport they play has spent most of the season being beaten down for all that's wrong with it. The one-and-done debate. Too many games. Too much television exposure. Questionable officiating. Dwindling crowds.
ARLINGTON, Texas — When Kentucky and Connecticut tip off tonight's NCAA championship game a few minutes after 9 on CBS, the focus will be on basketball only, on which of these two unlikely finalists — eighth-seeded UK and seventh-seeded UConn are the highest combined seeds to ever reach the final — will finish No. 1.
ARLINGTON, Tex. — Aaron and Andrew Harrison weren't always identical twins about to share the backcourt for Kentucky against Connecticut in tonight's NCAA title game.
ARLINGTON, Tex. — With 79,444 college basketball fans crammed into AT&T Stadium for Saturday night's Final Four — many of them forced to watch the stadium's 150-foot long video boards to keep up with the game — NCAA president Mark Emmert was asked on Sunday if the organization will ever consider returning its biggest event to a regular basketball venue.
ARLINGTON, Texas — Maybe it had to end this way. Nearly every other game in this NCAA basketball tournament has for Kentucky.
ARLINGTON, Texas — Jim Calhoun may no longer officially be the Connecticut basketball coach.
ARLINGTON, Texas — They're playing in the Final Four, this quirky basketball quartet of Connecticut, Florida, Kentucky and Wisconsin.
NORTH TEXAS — The smile rarely leaves Scottie Wilbekin's face these days.
When the men's Final Four tips off Saturday evening in Dallas, it's a safe assumption that most of America's NCAA Tournament brackets will have long been busted to smithereens. Especially with top-seeded Florida being joined by the unlikely trio of second seed Wisconsin, seventh seed Connecticut and eighth seed Kentucky.
According to Kentucky basketball coach John Calipari, into the Wildcats' locker room a few weeks ago was wheeled a casket, from which Cal soon popped up proclaiming, "We aren't dead yet."
Thirty years ago, Ron Bishop never dreamed that SCORE International would accumulate millions of dollars in assets, send more than 100,000 American athletes and coaches on mission trips around the globe or run three orphanages.
Tuesday should have been Cuonzo Martin's day in the limelight. A brief flirtation — or was it a money grab disguised as hurt feelings? — with Marquette behind him, a new Tennessee contract apparently in the works, it should have been his moment finally to feel the love and the focus of the Big Orange Nation, if not much of the sports world.
When it comes to the Atlanta Braves, let's hope there aren't 161 more games like Monday.
So sorry if I offend any of you this morning, but I have to type this in all caps regarding the upcoming Final Four: S-E-C, S-E-C, S-E-C!
INDIANAPOLIS — To be or not to be the University of Tennessee basketball coach.
INDIANAPOLIS — It shouldn't end this way. That's what Tennessee basketball fans will no doubt claim after Friday night's 73-71 Midwest Regional semifinal loss to Michigan on Friday night.
INDIANAPOLIS — If you go to the Dick's Sporting Goods website today and cue up "Louisville replica basketball jersey," you can purchase a No. 2 tank top for $60 that's remarkably similar to the one Cardinals guard Russ Smith may wear tonight against Kentucky in their NCAA Sweet 16 showdown.
INDIANAPOLIS — When you've reached zero Final Fours and but one Elite Eight in the 104 years you've fielded a men's basketball team, there are a lot painful moments.
Because the University of Tennessee at Chattanooga's football season kicks off 155 days from today at Central Michigan, a sports writer decided to ask a couple of the mighty Mocs a far more timely question following Monday's spring practice. Something along the lines of ... "So how's your NCAA tournament bracket?"
I need your help this morning. I'm taking up a collection to buy NCAA Tournament Selection Committee chairman Ron Wellman a pair of eyeglasses and a new computer software program.
What if the Tennessee men's basketball team beats Mercer today, then wins twice more to reach its first Final Four in program history?
One free throw. For one trophy.
Happy belated birthday, Bruce Almighty. Or should that now be Bruce Au-mighty? Either way, welcome back to the Southeastern Conference. The league obviously has missed you, just in case you hadn't noticed those paltry three NCAA bids it's received each of the last two years.
It's rule 4-17.4 in the NCAA basketball rules book. It concerns the block/charge call. And thanks to Syracuse coach Jim Boeheim's tirade inside Duke's Cameron Indoor Stadium on Feb. 22, it has become the most discussed official's call of the 2013-14 season, at least until the NCAA tournament's First Four games begin tonight in Dayton, Ohio.
Dick Vitale's volume too often overwhelms his veracity.
ATLANTA — Fourteen points.
ATLANTA — With 10:05 to go in Florida's SEC tournament quarterfinal game against Missouri on Friday afternoon, the nationally top-ranked Gators were only two points in front of the pesky Tigers.
ATLANTA — South Carolina basketball coach Frank Martin looked down at the stat sheet that showed his ground-down Gamecocks losing 59-44 to Tennessee on Friday afternoon, then looked ahead to the Volunteers' Southeastern Conference tournament semifinal showdown today with No. 1 Florida.
ATLANTA — South Carolina basketball coach Frank Martin looked down at the stat sheet that showed his ground-down Gamecocks losing 59-44 to Tennessee on Friday afternoon, then looked ahead to the Volunteers' Southeastern Conference tournament semifinal showdown today with No. 1 Florida.
Normally, whenever the first game of a basketball tournament session runs long, the teams waiting to take the court for Game 2 grow antsy. And impatient. And sometimes downright irritated.
ATLANTA — Normally, whenever the first game of a basketball tournament session runs long, the teams waiting to take the court for Game 2 grow antsy.
The date was March 4, 1980. As many college kids did in those days, my friend Ben phoned his parents in Naples, Fla., that Sunday to converse while the rates were low.
Times Free Press columnist Mark Wiedmer started going to the SEC tournament in 1979. In all he's watched and covered 33 of those tournaments, and here are some of his best from the event:
Her hard work done, yet another Southern Conference women's basketball tournament title secure, University of Tennessee at Chattanooga senior Meghan Downes headed home to Atlanta on Tuesday to enjoy at least a couple of days of spring break.
It had been a tough nine days for the Kansas basketball program before Sunday's news that 7-foot freshman center Joel Embiid was flying to Los Angeles on Monday to consult a specialist about his tender lower back.
Back on Nov. 12 of last year inside Chicago's United Center, then No. 2 Michigan State outlasted then No. 1 Kentucky 78-74, prompting the following quote from losing coach John Calipari:
The Southeastern Conference men's basketball standings tell a big, fat lie this morning.
KNOXVILLE — Tennessee football coach Butch Jones made the observation near the close of Thursday's pre-spring-practice news conference.
It takes a lot of money to stage free football clinics for 200 or more Chattanooga youngsters. And to raise that kind of money it often takes some pretty big names.

The name-the-team contest in Rockford has a winner: the Rockford RiverHawks will now be known as the Rockford Aviators (independent; Frontier League).
"This was important to our fans and it showed due to the over 3,000 name entries over the three week period," said Aviators President Bryan Wickline. "We want to thank each and every one that made a name suggestion. It was really cool to see some people take their suggestion seriously and explain why their name was relevant to the area.
"We felt it (Aviators) was a natural connection to the region's rich aviation history, from pioneers Col. Bert Hassell and Bessica Raiche to the stability and growth of the present," Wickline added. "The Rockford Aviators are excited to usher in the new era of professional baseball in the Rock River Valley."
Team logos and a new website are currently being crafted and should debut in the coming weeks. The team's colors will remain the same; navy and orange with accents of Columbia blue.

The first Calvary Chapel was started in Costa Mesa, California, in the 1960's, as a small nondenominational church of 25 members, pastored by Chuck Smith. The Lord blessed that small group, and now Calvary Chapel Costa Mesa is home to 30,000 believers and has planted 850 churches in North America and almost 200 churches in South America, Europe, Africa, Asia, and Australia.
Calvary Chapel Fort Lauderdale was one of the early church plants, founded in 1985 by Pastor Bob Coy and a handful of believers. We have grown to more than 20,000 people who worship at our main campus in Fort Lauderdale and our satellite locations in Boca Raton, Plantation, Hollywood, and the Keys. You can even watch a service live from our Fort Lauderdale campus and chat online with our web pastor.

So, in an effort to spike the temps and to get us through the cold months of heavily clothed babes, we'd like to check out some ladies who know how to turn up the heat and look stylish at the same time: enter our Welcome to the Jungle gallery. These beauties go where not many women dare to go—by sporting animal prints, skins, etc.—and thanks to them we feel warmer already.

It's all a bit superficial, but highly entertaining, wickedly funny, and alluring enough to make you want to start reading the books.
A sick joke of a film that realizes the best children's entertainment doesn't hide from the bleaker side of life, but plunges into the void and respects kids enough to assume they can handle it.
Heinrichs helps take your mind off the slack direction and the letdown of a climax, which ought to make the kiddies hurl Gummi Bears at the screen.
A lavishly mounted blockbuster that has little personality of its own except on a purely visual level.
Whilst the direction and script seem off, the rest of the production work is excellent.
Between Harry Potter and the Prisoner of Azkaban and Lemony Snicket 2004 is a banner year for dark and fun kid's films.
We can be grateful that the series has given Carrey one of his better vehicles in recent years, and that Carrey has risen to the occasion so well.
If you sit back, relax and just accept it for what it is -- an enjoyable, escapist Gothic pantomime -- you will go home happy.
...Carrey delivers a broad performance that's more distracting than anything else.
Successful in kicking off a largely amusing and visually engaging franchise.
...recognizes that it's okay to present scariness, gloominess and sadness, as long as you present strong, pure hearted children whose inherent cleverness cuts through it all.
After all, it's not like the filmmakers got everything wrong. They just didn't get the right things right.
Not many children's movies center on recently orphaned children delivered to the home of a homicidal thespian. Then again, not many children's movies are as good as this one.
'Inteligente, divertida y arriesgada en su propuesta visual y tem�tica, es una aventura que no se pueden perder'
The main blight on the festivities is that, as always, Hollywood can't resist adding a little uplift.
Audience Reviews for Lemony Snicket's A Series of Unfortunate Events
Super Reviewer
After coming to terms with that, I rewatched the film to base it on it's own terms. What I got was an okay film that proves how versatile Jim Carry can be in terms of playing different characters. That is what might be the greatest problem with this film: it is built too much on being artistic and show casing Carry's talent as an actor. The rest of the cast is... okay. Nothing that really stood out to me and for a film that has Timothy Spall, Jude Law, and Meryl Streep, this is a shock due to how bland they acted. I know in the books their characters only served as disposable characters just to move the story along, but here they just seem to be their for no reason. You could literally remove those characters and the film would still be the same. I find this disappointing because all three actors play characters that are amusing, interesting, and worth watching. But with them removing almost all likability that they had in the text, they are just left hallow characters that serve no purpose. Honestly, this broke my heart a bit because I wish that they would have gave these characters life.
But, seeing as how this film is built on the triple performance of Jim Carry, I might as well talk about that for a bit. He is good in this version of Olaf, and that is to say the film adaption. He portrays this dark character as a comedic joke, making each reincarnation more humorous and insane than the previous. Watching him does make one smile due to the silly and outrageous presentation. His performance is not as good nor as memorable as others, but the look he givers Olaf is.
For the children, they are okay. Emily Browning portrays a more mature version of Violet which, for me, I liked. In the books that the film is adapted from, Violet comes off as weak and a little whinny. Here she is more mature, independent, and clear thinking. Liam Aiken does okay as Klaus, giving us a more whinny version and one that is not as good as you can hope. Personally, I wish that they picked a different actor other than Liam Aiken. But, that is just me. Seeing as how Sunny is just a baby in the film, it would be unfair for me to critique that performance.
The set design and look of this film is wonderful. That is the one thing they did get right: the complete gothic feel of the story. Reading the novels, there is just a wave of Tim Burton-esque influence with the tone and look of the settings. If I could applaud this film for anything, it would be the art direction.
In a nutshell, I did not care for this film at all. Yeah, it is a nice little family film that is good for passing the time, but if you are looking for a good adaption, you will be screwed to find that this is no such case. But, you know, it is a pity: this film could have been great.

I need an area rug for my (low traffic) livingroom and would love to take advantage of the special AT discount, but I am not familiar with Bentley. Does anyone have any experience with thier rugs? Thumbs up? Thumbs down?
Wahoo! Thanks a bunch :-)
Lourdes, I am a designer (corporate office space) and can tell you that Bently Prince Street commercial carpet is considered high end both for their design and durability. They tend to rely more on branded fibers that resist staining and UV fading than some lesser priced mills. I can't say that I have any experience with their residential products though. Just knowing they are a leader in the competitive industry of commercial carpets I don't think I would hesitate to give one of their area rugs a try.
I got the Wow rug (6x9 in red) from DWR (for a lot more money) about six years ago, still looks fabulous. Very durable. The colors on the website look a bit off though... My red rug is really a tomato red.
people at prince street are nice i love them but they are carpets and will feel like carpets on ur feet not like a nice rug.
good try but cant fool a designer. lol

Saw this for the first time last night. I can definitely see the appeal, it was cute but not sickening or stupid. Apparently when discussing this film its appropriate to indentify your favorite story line, for me it was a tie between Bill Nighy as the out-of-control rock star and Martin Freeman and Joanna Page as the sex scene stand ins.
Love, actually?

Wednesday September 22, 2010
For Immediate Release:Louisville Metro Council Contact: Tony Hyatt 574-4137/526-3622 Stephen Haag 574-1204/ 645-1752On Thursday, September 23rd a list of 263 names of people and businesses will be formally published in the Courier Journal representing $17.801.068 owed Metro Government in fines for code violations.
"On July 1st, the Metro Council announced it would publish this list," said Councilwoman Barbara Shanklin (D-2). ": We have given everyone ample time to pay up and clean up properties that have become eyesores in many areas of our community. Now it is time to shine the light on the biggest offenders in our city."
There are 263 names on the list made up of individuals and businesses. The top fine amount is $64,773.00 the lowest is $12,052. 69. Two people owe more than $60,000 to Metro Government. Three people owe more than $40,000. Ten people owe more than $30,000. Fifty people owe more than $20,000. One hundred and ninety eight owe more than $12,000 in fines for code violations.
The Metro Council's Community Affairs Committee first began looking into the problem of delinquent property owners earlier this year. The committee was responding to repeated complaints by citizens of property that was either abandoned or just not kept properly with junk and overgrown grass.
In many cases, the city places a lien on the property and then must maintain it by cutting grass or hauling junk away. The committee became concerned that taxpayer money was being spent on these properties in tough economic times.
"Too often, the owners of these properties hid behind the court system or foreclosure procedures and continued to delay and delay in doing what was right," says Shanklin. "We on the Council are saying enough is enough. Pay your fines or keep your property clean that is all we are asking."
The Metro Council, in a bi-partisan effort, passed an ordinance to pay for the published list. There were a total of 20 sponsors for the ordinance.
"This list is a first step our of efforts to reclaim taxes lost because of abandoned properties," says Councilman Kelly Downard (R-16). "It is my hope that Metro Government can become a partner with neighborhood leaders, banks and developers in addressing this important issue and helping to find solutions that will improve everyone's quality of life."
The published list includes the names of at least 33 groups representing financial institutions, land trusts or LLC. The remainders are individual owners of property throughout Metro Louisville as of September 16, 2010.
While the list only shows the names, addresses and fines of violators, the public can go on line to find which properties have been cited and what code violations on each property. Go to the web site at www.louisvilleky.gov/ipl/ . Click on e customer service and follow the prompts you can see the details of the case, including Notices sent, Violations Cited, Penalties accessed and Penalties rescinded by the Code Enforcement Board.
"We will see how effect this approach will be in saving taxpayer dollars," said Shanklin. "If another ad is needed in the future, we will consider it."

Hapag-Lloyd Cruises
From: European Cruise Guide
Hapag-Lloyd is a German shipping company that goes back to 1856, when Norddeutsche Lloyd inaugurated passenger and cargo service between Bremerhaven and New York. In 1970, NDL merged with Hamburg America Line (HAPAG), and today the names of two Hapag-Lloyd passenger ships--the Europa and Bremen--honor the great NDL liners that plied the North Atlantic route in the 1930s.
Hapag-Lloyd's current Europa was built in 1999. The ship, which accommodates 408 passengers, is the only cruise vessel with a rating of 5+ stars in Douglas Ward's Berlitz Ocean Cruising & Cruise Ships guide. Like the four other ships in Hapag-Lloyd's fleet (including the new Europa 2), it focuses on the luxury market.
In 2013, Hapag-Lloyd is offering a small number of international cruises that cater to both German- and English-speaking passengers. (During other voyages, German is the only language spoken unless at least 15 English-speaking guests are on board.)
