SPOTLIGHT: Myth As Object by Cameron Stalheim
"Stemming from my experience as a gay male from the Midwest and transitioning into the gay culture of the east coast, this sculpture, the first in a new series of work, questions the relationship between fantasy, reality and the objectification that happens in between."
Casting gay porn star Colby Keller's body in silicone for a monumental sculpture, Stalheim created this mythical beast for his MFA graduating thesis at the Maryland Institute College of Art.
I am questioning how people interact. Has sexuality become the basis of identity? Does shame and resentment associated with one's youth create a fantasy of our expectations in connecting (and objectifying) with others and what role we play in those connections (or objectifications)?
The stretching between the body and the fluke perfectly illustrates the long way to go. By the way, this is the first...

Cystitis is a common condition that affects most women at some point in their lives. It is often, but not always, caused by an infection in the bladder. Symptoms include an urgent and frequent need to go to the toilet, and a pain or stinging sensation when urinating. There are other conditions that cause these symptoms like STDs, so you should see a doctor to check it out. Cystitis can clear up of its own accord but may need treatment with antibiotics.
Cystitis is inflammation of the bladder. It's usually caused by an infection in the bladder, but can also be caused by irritation or damage (from friction during sex, for example).
Symptoms of cystitis are:
- an urgent need to urinate often
- pain or stinging when you urinate
Cystitis usually passes within a few days, or sometimes may need treatment with antibiotics.
Untreated bladder infections can cause kidney infections.
Cystitis in women
Cystitis is more common in women because women have a short urethra (the tube that carries urine from the bladder out of the body). The urethra's opening is also located very close to the anus (bottom), which makes it easy for bacteria from the anus to reach the bladder and cause an infection.
Almost all women will have cystitis at least once in their lifetime. Around one in five women who have had cystitis will get it again (known as recurrent cystitis). Cystitis can occur at any age, but it is more common in:
- pregnant women
- sexually active women
- post-menopausal women (women who have been through menopause)
Cystitis in men
Cystitis is less common in men. It can be more serious in men because it could be caused by:
- an underlying bladder or prostate infection, such as prostatitis
- an obstruction in the urinary tract, such as a tumour, or an enlarged prostate (the gland located between the penis and the bladder)
Male cystitis is not usually serious if treated quickly, but it can be very painful. Sexually active gay men are more likely to get cystitis than other males.
Mild cystitis usually clears up within 4-9 days. You can treat it at home by drinking plenty of water (around 1.2 litres or 6-8 glasses every day) and taking painkillers, such as paracetamol or ibuprofen. More severe cystitis can also cause abdominal pain or fever, and may need treatment with antibiotics.
Seeing a doctor
Children and men should always see their GP if they have symptoms of cystitis. Women should always see their GP the first time they have the symptoms of cystitis. They should also return to their GP if they have the condition more than three times in one year.
Find out more about:
- Anus
- The opening at the end of the digestive system where solid waste leaves the body.
- Kidneys
- Kidneys are a pair of bean-shaped organs located at the back of the abdomen. They remove waste and extra fluid from the blood, and pass them out of the body as urine.
- Prostate
- A small gland found only in men, located in the pelvis, between the penis and the bladder.
- Urethra
- The tube that carries urine from the bladder out of the body.
Children and adults can get cystitis, and the symptoms can be different.
Symptoms in men and women
Cystitis in men and women can cause:
- pain, burning or stinging when you urinate
- needing to urinate often and urgently but passing only small amounts of urine
- urine that's dark, cloudy or strong smelling
- urine that contains traces of blood (haematuria)
- pain low in your belly (directly above the pubic bone), or in the lower back or abdomen
- feeling unwell, weak or feverish
Symptoms in children
Symptoms of cystitis in children may include:
- weakness
- irritability
- reduced appetite
- vomiting
- pain when urinating
Cystitis is usually treated easily. Find out more about treating cystitis.
Find out about recognising the signs of serious illness in children.
Seeing a doctor
The usual symptoms of cystitis could also be caused by other conditions, so it's important to see your GP the first time you have any of these symptoms. This means you can be treated correctly for whatever is causing your symptoms.
The symptoms caused by cystitis could also be caused by:
- sexually transmitted infections (STIs), such as gonorrhoea or chlamydia
- being infected with bacterium such as E-coli
- vaginal thrush, also known as candida (a yeast infection)
- inflammation of the urethra (urethritis)
- urethral syndrome (women only)
- inflammation of the prostate gland, also known as prostatitis (men only)
Find out more about:
- Blood
- Blood supplies oxygen to the body and removes carbon dioxide. It is pumped around the body by the heart.
- Inflammation
- Inflammation is the body's response to infection, irritation or injury, which causes redness, swelling, pain and sometimes a feeling of heat in the affected area.
- Pain
- Pain is an unpleasant physical or emotional feeling that your body produces as a warning sign that it has been damaged.
- Urethra
- The urethra is a tube that carries urine from the bladder to the outside of the body.
- Vomiting
- Vomiting is when you bring up the contents of your stomach through your mouth.
The most common cause of cystitis is a bacterial infection. If bacteria reach the bladder, they can multiply and irritate the bladder lining, causing the symptoms of cystitis.
Cystitis can also result from damage or irritation around the urethra. The urethra is the tube that carries urine from the bladder out of the body. In men, the urethral opening (where urine leaves the body) is at the tip of the penis. In women it's just below the clitoris.
Bacterial infection
This happens when bacteria get into the bladder and multiply. It can happen if you don't empty your bladder properly. Try to empty your bladder fully each time you go to the toilet, to help prevent bacterial infection.
You may not be able to empty your bladder fully if:
- you have a blockage somewhere in your urinary system: this could be caused by a tumour or, in men, an enlarged prostate (a gland located between the penis and the bladder)
- you are pregnant, as pregnancy puts pressure on the pelvic area and the bladder
Bacterial infection can also happen when bacteria from the anus are transferred to the urethra. This is more common in women than in men, as the urethra is closer to the anus in women than it is in men.
In women, transferring bacteria in this way can happen when you are:
- having sex
- wiping after going to the toilet (you're less likely to transfer bacteria in this way if you wipe from front to back)
- inserting a tampon
- using a diaphragm (a soft dome made of latex or silicone) for contraception
In women who have had, or are going through, the menopause, the lining of the urethra and the bladder become thinner. This is due to a lack of the hormone oestrogen. The thin lining is more likely to become infected or damaged. Women also produce fewer vaginal secretions after the menopause, which means that bacteria are more likely to multiply.
Damage or irritation
Cystitis can also be caused by damage or irritation in the area around the urethra in both men and women. This could be the result of:
- damage or bruising caused by vigorous or frequent sex (this is sometimes called honeymoon cystitis)
- wearing tight clothing
- chemical irritants – for example, in perfumed soap or talcum powder
- other bladder or kidney problems, such as a kidney infection or prostatitis
- diabetes (a long-term condition caused by too much glucose in the blood)
- damage caused by a catheter (a tube inserted into the urethra to allow urine to flow into a drainage bag, which is often used after surgery)
Find out more about:
- Anus
- The anus is the opening at the end of the digestive system where solid waste leaves the body.
- Bacteria
- Bacteria are tiny, single-celled organisms that live in the body. Some can cause illness and disease and some others are good for you.
- Catheter
- A catheter is a thin, hollow tube usually made of rubber that is placed into the bladder to inject or remove fluid.
- Kidney
- Kidneys are a pair of bean-shaped organs located at the back of the abdomen, which remove waste and extra fluid from the blood and pass them out of the body as urine.
- Prostate
- A gland in men located in the pelvis, between the penis and the bladder.
- Tumour
- A growth of cells.
- Urethra
- The urethra is a tube that carries urine from the bladder to the outside of the body.
Diagnosing cystitis
If you have had cystitis before, you may be able to recognise the symptoms and diagnose the condition yourself.
However, men and children with cystitis symptoms should always see their GP. Men, women and children should see their GP if:
- this is the first time you've had cystitis symptoms
- there's blood in your urine (haematuria)
- you have a high temperature (fever) of 38ºC (100.4ºF)
- you're in a lot of pain
- you've had cystitis three times in one year
Your GP should be able to diagnose cystitis from asking about your symptoms. In some cases, they may also use a dipstick (a chemically treated strip of paper) to test a sample of your urine. The paper will react to certain bacteria by changing colour, showing which kind of infection you have.
Urine culture
Your GP may wish to send a sample of your urine to a laboratory for further testing. This sample is called a urine culture. This may be necessary if:
- you have recurrent cystitis (more than three times in one year)
- it is possible that you may have a kidney infection – cystitis can be a symptom of this
- you are on immunosuppressant medication (medication that suppresses your immune system) – these affect your body's defences so you may be more prone to infection
- you have diabetes (a long-term condition caused by too much glucose in the blood) – cystitis can be a complication of diabetes
- you may have a sexually transmitted infection (STI) – such as gonorrhoea and chlamydia
- it is possible that you have another infection, such as thrush (candida)
The urine culture will confirm which bacteria are causing your cystitis. Alternatively, it may reveal that your cystitis is caused by another condition. Your GP can advise you about the most appropriate treatment for you.
Further tests
If you have recurrent cystitis that does not respond to antibiotics, even after a urine culture has been tested, you may be referred to a specialist. You may need to have some other tests, such as:
- an ultrasound scan
- an X-ray
- a cystoscopy
A cystoscopy is when a tiny fibre-optic camera, called a cystoscope, is used to examine your bladder. The cystoscope is a very thin tube that has a light and a camera at one end. It is inserted into your urethra (the tube that carries urine from your bladder out of your body) and transmits images of the inside of your bladder to a screen.
Any further tests that you need will be explained to you by the healthcare professional treating you.
Find out about:
- Antibiotics
- Antibiotics are medicines that can be used to treat infections caused by micro-organisms, usually bacteria or fungi. For example amoxicillin, streptomycin and erythromycin.
- Bacterium
- Bacteria are tiny, single-celled organisms that live in the body. Some can cause illness and disease and some others are good for you.
- Ultrasound
- Ultrasound scans are a way of producing pictures of inside the body using sound waves.
- Urine sample
- Urinalysis / UA, or urine culture, is when a urine sample is tested, commonly to check for any signs of infection, or protein or sugar levels.
- X-ray
- An X-ray is a painless way of producing pictures of inside the body using radiation.
Treating cystitis
Children and men should always see their GP if they have cystitis symptoms. Women should always see their GP the first time they have cystitis symptoms, and also if they have the condition more than three times in one year.
The symptoms of cystitis usually clear up without treatment within 4-9 days. There are some self-help treatments that can ease the discomfort of any symptoms, or your GP may prescribe antibiotics.
Self-help treatments
If you've had cystitis before and you're sure that you have mild cystitis and don't need to see your GP, there are treatments that you can try yourself.
- Over-the-counter (OTC) painkillers, such as paracetamol or ibuprofen. These can reduce pain and discomfort. Always read the label and check with your pharmacist first, particularly if you have any other medical condition, you are taking other medicines, or you're pregnant or breastfeeding.
- Drinking plenty of water is often recommended as a treatment for cystitis. There's no evidence that this is helpful, although drinking around 1.2 litres (6-8 glasses) of water a day is generally good for your health. Also avoid alcohol.
- Don't have sex until your cystitis has cleared up because having sex can make it worse.
Some people find that using urine alkanising agents, such as sodium bicarbonate or potassium citrate, for a short period of time may help to relieve pain when urinating. However, there is currently a lack of clinical evidence for their effectiveness. Check with your GP or pharmacist first if you are taking any other medication.
Drinking cranberry juice is not thought to help relieve pain but may help to prevent outbreaks of recurrent cystitis.
Find out some useful tips on preventing cystitis.
If your symptoms are moderate or severe, your GP may prescribe a short course of antibiotics. This will usually involve taking a tablet 2-4 times a day, for three days.
For a more complicated case of cystitis, such as cystitis with another underlying infection, you may be given antibiotics for 5-10 days. Find out more about cystitis complications.
Research suggests that antibiotics can shorten an attack of cystitis by 1-2 days.
If your cystitis symptoms are only mild, your GP may prefer not to prescribe antibiotics to avoid 'antibiotic resistance'. This is when the bacteria that cause cystitis adapt and learn to survive the antibiotics. Over time, this means that the treatment becomes less effective.
Recurring cystitis
If you keep getting cystitis (known as having recurring cystitis) your doctor may prescribe stand-by antibiotics or continuous antibiotics. A stand-by antibiotic is a prescription for you to take the next time you have cystitis, without needing to visit your GP again.
Continuous antibiotics are antibiotics that you take for several months to prevent further episodes of cystitis. These may be prescribed for two reasons:
- if your cystitis usually occurs after having sex, you may be given a prescription for antibiotics to take within two hours of having sex
- if your cystitis is not related to having sex, you may be given a low-dose antibiotic to take for a trial period of six months
If you are prescribed antibiotics, your symptoms should start to improve after the first day of taking them. If your symptoms don't improve after your course of antibiotics, go back to see your GP, or call NHS Direct on 0845 4647.
Find out more about:
- Antibiotic
- Antibiotics are medicines that can be used to treat infections caused by micro-organisms, usually bacteria or fungi. For example amoxicillin, streptomycin and erythromycin.
- Bacteria
- Bacteria are tiny, single-celled organisms that live in the body. Some can cause illness and disease and some others are good for you.
- Painkillers
- Analgesics are medicines that relieve pain. For example paracetamol, aspirin and ibuprofen.

Since then, however, the his voice has deepened, and with this new maturation he will release Keep It Gangsta, the first official single off his forthcoming sophomore LP. Keeping a relatively positive outlook over producer Jesse "Aktual" Blake's synth-heavy beat, Jibbs lets it be known that he is about representing what you stand for, regardless of what others think. The St. Louis native maintains a nonconformist outlook, rapping "When I talk about being a gangsta, I ain't talkin' bout bein' a killa," while Miami's Pleasure P adds an aggressively passionate edge to the song's hook. Jibbs' new album, New Tempo, New Swagg is due at the top of 2009.

2. We got tasty burritos for dinner.
3. The other day Irene was watching Akira and it made me want to read the manga (I've never read it before, though I saw the movie several times back in the day). The only site I could find raws on uses a file hosting site that allows you to download one file every six hours, so it's been taking what feels like forever to get these, even though there are only six volumes, but I'm downloading the final volume right now, yay.

Vol. 15 No. 1 - October 29, 2014
A perfect sunny afternoon greeted those who turned out for The Sun's 12th Annual Dog Halloween Costume Contest Saturday at Island Sun Plaza. There were cowboys and girls, some Bob Marley wailers, lady pirates, tiny bikers and even a Betsy Ross – and the dogs had good costumes too! Tin hats off, however, to the Wizard of Paws entry, which took first place in the Most Original category and stole the hearts of everyone. Congratulations to all and Happy Halloween. More...
BRADENTON BEACH – Gia Lancaster's two-month tenure as Bradenton Beach's city clerk came to an abrupt end Thursday afternoon, when the commission unanimously agreed to fire her.
The commission appointed Assistant Clerk Terri Sanclemente to serve as clerk pro tempore and acting city clerk and authorized the temporary hiring of a full time contracted employee to assist her.
Mayor Bill Shearon recommended Lancaster's termination during an emergency commission meeting on Thursday afternoon. The commission supported the recommendation, based on the grounds that Lancaster's job performance was unsatisfactory. Unexcused absences and failure to distribute time-sensitive city documents and meeting materials were cited as primary reasons for the dismissal. More...
ANNA MARIA – Once again the community was surprised by events at the Island Community Center when Executive Director Dawn Stiles submitted her letter of resignation Tuesday, Oct 21.
"I am leaving to return North to the ones I love: family and friends," said in her letter. "After all, at the end of the day, relationships are what truly make life worthwhile.
"Over the past few very difficult months, it has become increasingly clear that living apart from those I love is not the life I want or anticipated." More...
ANNA MARIA – Former Mayor Fran Barford and her husband, George, were named Citizens of the Year by the Citizen Recognition Committee last week.
Committee member Lynn Brenan said the couple has lived in the city for 14 years and has been involved in city government as well as Roser Church.
In addition to being mayor for two terms, Fran served as chair of the Planning and Zoning Board and the Citizen of the Year Committee and chaired Roser Church's long range planning committee.
George was vice chair of the city's Capital Improvement Committee and served on the Historic Preservation Committee. He is a captain in the U.S. Naval Reserve and a member of several military organizations. More...
HOLMES BEACH – Voters will be asked to vote on 18 proposed amendments to the city charter in the Nov. 4 election.
There are six non-substantive changes (Articles 3, 5, 12, 14, 16 and 18) to the charter, which include fixing errors in grammar, making provisions consistent with state law and adding provisions to allow for modern technology.
• Amendment 1: limiting building height to 36 feet;
• Amendment 2: limiting density to 5.8 units per acre in the R1AA and R1 zoning districts and 10 units per care in all the other zoning districts. More...
HOLMES BEACH – A full house listened as the city's two mayoral and three commission candidates responded to questions posed by voters in the Sun's candidates' forum Thursday.
Candidates Bob Johnson and Commissioner David Zaccagnino are running for the mayor's seat, and incumbent Commissioners Marvin Grossman and Judy Titsworth are being challenged by Andy Sheridan for their seats. Each candidate began with an opening statement.
Grossman: We are on the road to balancing the needs of our residents with the rights of our visitors and commercial interests to respectfully enjoy our part of paradise. More...
ANNA MARIA – A capacity crowd packed into city hall on Tuesday, Oct 21, for the Anna Maria Island Sun Candidate Forum. There were agreements and there were disagreements, but it lacked the contentiousness of a Rick Scott-Charlie Crist debate.
At stake are the mayor's position, between incumbent SueLynn and Dan Murphy, and two commission seats between challenger Dave Bouchard and incumbents Nancy Yetter and Chuck Webb. The two top vote-getters will be seated.
The debate began with each candidate talking about his or her background and qualifications. SueLynn talked about this being her second time serving as mayor and said she was appointed two years ago when Mike Selby resigned because he declined to run for a second term and no one filed to run for the position. More...
HOLMES BEACH – Congestion committee members plan to ask city commissioners to proceed with an ordinance to eliminate street and right of way parking in residential areas.
They are reviewing sample ordinances from other cities, and Chair Carol Soustek said, "We're trying to take the best from different cities. I like St. Pete Beach's because it is exactly what we're trying to do for the residents."
Member Pam Leckie they should just eliminate parking on the west side of Gulf Drive because "the others really aren't affected." More...
BRADENTON BEACH – The Bridge Tender Inn & Dockside Bar will celebrate its 25-year anniversary with the Bridgestock street festival on Saturday, Nov. 8, from noon until 6 p.m.
Taking place Veterans Day weekend, and "celebrating 25 years of great food and fun," the family-friendly celebration will feature free admission, food and drink specials, raffles, contests, prizes and live music by Paul Duffy, 12:15 p.m.; Brigid's Cross, 2:15 p.m.; and BearLee Sober, 4:15 p.m. More...
The first sign of impending action was the vague outline of what appeared to be birds barely visible on the distant horizon. As we got closer, a flock of wheeling and diving laughing gulls and terns came into view along with other groups up and down the beach and offshore. Closing in, we saw false albacore and Spanish mackerel slashing the surface of the Gulf into a froth as they drove schools of baitfish to the surface in an attempt to avoid the ravenous predators.
I was in the boat with Captain Rob Gilbert, and not far behind, Captain Harrison Ford and Steve Traves were readying their fly rods to do battle with the speedy gamefish. Both boats headed for the largest school of feeding fish only to have them disappear below the surface as engines were shut down and casts were ready to fire. Moments later the fish popped back to the surface about a hundred yards away and started feeding on the hapless baitfish. More...
If you're in the market to either buy or sell a home, expect a visit from the ghosts of real estate past and real estate future. The ghost of real estate past is pretty friendly, sort of Casper like. He's polite and straightforward and generally says what he means. But the ghost of real estate future has a little bit of demon in him, cleverly pricing and negotiation properties.
Putting a price on real estate has become a strategic game steeped in psychology. Sellers almost always overestimate the worth of their home and fail to understand that an asking price is just that and should be viewed as a negotiating tool. Buyers don't care what you paid and how much you spent to improve the home. Furthermore, high end buyers frequently are looking to make their own renovations and will totally discount what changes you made and what it cost. More...
The Internet is now ubiquitous in our lives. We bank online, trade stocks, check the news and shop, all whenever and from wherever we desire to do it with the aid of wireless devices. Of course, pursuing much of this activity involves placing private information on certain Websites, including account numbers or credit card numbers.
In an ideal world the process would be wonderfully convenient and safe. Unfortunately, the convenience comes at a cost as the bad guys are out there attempting to gain access to our private information to use for their personal gain. Being safe when using the Internet has become vitally important from a financial standpoint, as well as from a personal safety standpoint for our children and grandchildren. More...
This year's Spirit Day closed out the regular season for youth soccer at the Anna Maria Island Community Center. As the tradition goes, friends and family come out and support their favorite teams by sporting face paint, ribbons, balloons and bringing spirit and cheers. This year was no exception, and the weather was beautiful for the day's events.
Area soccer players from 3 to 17 years of age gathered on the pitch to face their worthy opponents and friends. More...

Grandmaster Flash Drops Comeback Album
It's been 20 years since Joseph Saddler, otherwise known as Grandmaster Flash, has released a studio album. Known for developing the "cutting" turntable technique (which eventually lead to "scratching"), Saddler turned heads and ears combining hip-hop and electronic music alongside other old-school institutions, such as rappers Curtis Blow, Lovebug Starski, Melle Mel, and Kid(d) Creole.

The Book of Basketball: The NBA According to the Sports Guyby Bill Simmons
Synopses & Reviews
Publisher Comments:
There is only one writer on the planet who possesses enough basketball knowledge and passion to write the definitive book on the NBA.* Bill Simmons, the from-the-womb hoops addict known to millions as ESPN.coms Sports Guy, is that writer. And The Book of Basketball is that book.
Nowhere in the roundball universe will you find another single volume that covers as much in such depth as this wildly opinionated and thoroughly entertaining look at the past, present, and future of pro basketball.
From the age-old question of who actually won the rivalry between Bill Russell and Wilt Chamberlain to the one about which team was truly the best of all time, Simmons opens — and then closes, once and for all — every major pro basketball debate. Then he takes it further by completely reevaluating not only how NBA Hall of Fame inductees should be chosen but how the institution must be reshaped from the ground up, the result being the Pyramid: Simmons's one-of-a-kind, five-level shrine to the 96 greatest players in the history of pro basketball. And ultimately he takes fans to the heart of it all, as he uses a conversation with one NBA great to uncover that coveted thing: The Secret of Basketball.
Comprehensive, authoritative, controversial, hilarious, and impossible to put down (even for Celtic-haters), The Book of Basketball offers every hardwood fan a courtside seat beside the games finest, funniest, and fiercest chronicler.
* More to the point, he's the only one crazy enough to try to pull it off.
"The true NBA fan will dive into this hefty volume and won't resurface for about a week, emerging from the man cave unshaven, smelling of beer and pizza, grinning, and armed with NBA history, insight, anecdotes, statistics, and a dozen new examples of Simmons' Unintentional Comedy Scale. This is just plain fun." Booklist (starred review)
"Passion drips off the page like beads of sweat....Like stumbling across Roadhouse on late-night cable: It may induce the occasional wince, but it's nearly impossible not to get sucked in and keep coming back for more." Kirkus Reviews
ESPN's The Sports Guy returns with the best book ever written about the NBA (or so he promises) — a wildly opinionated and entertaining tour of the history, present, and future of pro basketball.
About the Author
Bill Simmons writes "The Sports Guy" column for ESPN.com's Page 2 and ESPN: The Magazine. He is the author of Now I Can Die In Peace, founded the award-winning bostonsportsguy.com website, and was a writer for Jimmy Kimmel Live. He commutes between his home in Los Angeles and Fenway Park.

New Children's Book Tackles Acceptance Through Heartwarming Story About Stuttering
Dr. Ron Webster has dedicated his life to treating the debilitating and misunderstood disorder of stuttering. He pioneered behavioral stuttering therapy and founded the nationally recognized Hollins Communications Research Institute, a nonprofit stuttering research and treatment center.
In "Katie: The Little Girl Who Stuttered and Then Learned to Talk Fluently" (ISBN 1468004905), Webster shares the true story of how a young girl overcame her stuttering. In addition to a happy outcome, the narrative offers an unexpected, heartwarming ending. Webster wrote the book to offer encouragement and inspiration to children who stutter and their parents.
The story begins by introducing readers to Katie, a bright and loving young girl, just like the children around her. However, whenever Katie tried to verbalize her thoughts and feelings, her stuttering got in the way. No matter how smooth and clear the thoughts were in her head, they never came out that way when she tried to speak.
Other children constantly teased Katie for the way she talked, and she only seemed to find comfort from their torment when she went to a park after school and played hide-and-seek. But her wish to free her voice from stuttering came true when she learned about a special kind of stuttering therapy. With this treatment, Katie learned new speaking skills that made her words flow freely and spontaneously.
"This book gives hope to children who stutter by showing there may be an answer to their speech problem through hard work, determination, and the right type of treatment," Webster says. "In addition, the storyline will benefit all children because it teaches lessons in understanding and respect for the challenge others face."
"Katie: The Little Girl Who Stuttered and Then Learned to Talk Fluently" is available at Amazon.com.
Dr. Ron Webster founded HCRI in 1972 to investigate stuttering with scientific methods and new treatment approaches. Under Dr. Webster´s direction, Roanoke, Virginia-based HCRI has become a leader in stuttering research and treatment innovation. More than 6,100 stutterers have been treated at HCRI. Research shows that 93 percent of HCRI therapy participants achieve fluency by the end of their 12-day treatment program and 70-75% maintain fluency for the long-term.

IBISWorld's Payroll and Other Office Administrative Services market research report provides the latest industry statistics and industry trends, allowing you to identify the products and customers driving revenue growth and profitability. The industry report identifies the leading companies and offers strategic industry analysis of the key factors influencing the market.
The Payroll and Other Office Administrative Services industry has benefited from the private sector trend towards outsourcing business services over the past five years. The industry generates the bulk of its revenue from the payroll processing and billing segments, which have been the primary beneficiaries of the outsourcing boom. However, the sluggish general economy has contained the industry's performance since the late 2000s.
The industry relies heavily on business confidence and spending, as these influence an organisation's choice to outsource non-core activities to specialist service providers. The global financial crisis contributed to a decline in demand for industry services... purchase to read more
The Payroll and Other Office Administrative Services industry has a low level of capital intensity, with the majority of costs being related to labour. Industry operators allocate $31.20 of labour for every dollar invested into capital equipment.
Capital requirements are small, generally consisting of computers and office equipment such as photocopiers, fax machines and telephone lines. Most tasks are performed by skilled employees using customised payroll and accounting software (e.g. MYOB)... purchase to read more
This industry includes companies that provide a range of everyday office administrative services such as clerical, billing and record-keeping, and payroll services on a contract or fee basis. These companies support the operation of a business but do not provide staff to carry out the complete operations of an organisation.

Heidi Klum's Haircut at Victoria Secret's Lexington Avenue Flagship Store Opening
Did Heidi Klum Cut Her Hair?
Same day, two very different lengths. At the grand opening celebrations for Victoria Secret's new flagship store in NYC, Heidi Klum wore her hair long and wavy for the ribbon-cutting ceremony. Later, at the cocktail reception, she sported some serious red lipstick and a trendy shoulder-length bob — aka the "lob," or long bob.
Perhaps it was a little hair tucking and some pinning trickery. Or could it be possible that Klum used those ginormous bedazzled ceremony shears to chop her locks into a fashionable shoulder-grazing bob? Hmm — can't tell just yet. Regardless of how it was done, (quickie cut in-between appearances?) which look do you prefer on Klum? Are you a fan of her traditional long, model-y locks or do you like this bobbed style best?

Nick Fairley Could Have Body Slammed Aaron Rodgers, Wisely Did Not Body Slam Aaron Rodgers
Safe to say, the Lions' defense does not care too much about making friends around the NFL. Not that they should care about this, mind you; their objective is to stop opponents, and in general they've done a decent job of this, ranking eighth in the NFL in passing yards allowed and 16th in rushing yards allowed. To get stops, a defense sometimes has to get nasty – and, in the process, earn an opponent's ire.
But the Lions go beyond that baseline level of opponent irritation. Case in point: Ndmaukong Suh. He doesn't just get under people's skin – he's the most-disliked player in the NFL. People have been accusing the Lions of dirty play since last season. (And their coach isn't too bad at hitting a nerve, either.) And the latest example: Suh's interior line mate, Nick Fairley. Fairley's coming into his own this year with 4.5 sacks – two of them against the Packers yesterday. But if he'd gone through with something he started to do during yesterday's game, no one would be talking about his play at all. What do we mean? This:
That's right: Fairley very nearly picked up an opposing player and body slammed him to the ground. And not just any player: the quarterback, the guy you're least allowed to pull a dirty hit on. And not just any quarterback: Aaron Rodgers, the reigning NFL MVP, the guy who beat the Lions yesterday with 19-of-27 passing and two touchdowns. Fairley – who's got a bit of a history with this move – would have been in a world of trouble if he'd brought that world of hurt on Rodgers.
Thankfully, he eased up. The Lions don't want to be that hated. As for Rodgers, here's how the experience of being picked up and almost thrown to the ground by a 300-pound man went:
Aaron Rodgers on what he was thinking when Nick Fairley picked him up: "What are you doing?"
— Wes Hodkiewicz (@WesHod) November 19, 2012
We might have been thinking that too. That or "pleasedontdothispleasedontdothispleasedontdothis." And if Fairley really wanted to get under Rodgers' skin, he'd have picked him up… then whispered in his ear, "You're much smaller than I thought you'd be." If you'd rather see the play in video form, here you go.

Spider-Man: Drowned in Thunder
DC Comics: Countdown
The Death of Captain America
DC Comics: The Flash: Stop Motion
Really excellent (Posted on 10/18/2014)
I'm a fan of comics, so I was really excited when a friend pointed me to this production. And it didn't disappoint! There are a few changes from the original (in the ending especially, but I suspect that will be addressed at least in part in the upcoming "Death of Captain America" production), but by and large it was very faithful, and what changes there were were definitely for the better. For example, Susan and Reed's subplot was expanded, and there was a whole lot more with Spiderman's personal life.
My only complaint is that they didn't include Cap's "plant yourself like a tree" speech. ("Doesn't matter what the press says. Doesn't matter what the politicians or the mobs say. Doesn't matter if the whole country decides that something wrong is something right. This nation was founded on one principle above all else: the requirement that we stand up for what we believe, no matter the odds or the consequences. When the mob and the press and the whole world tell you to move, your job is to plant yourself like a tree beside the river of truth, and tell the whole world — "No, YOU move."") Admittedly it was in the Amazing Spiderman tie-in for Civil War, but it's probably the most well-known quote to come out of the event and it's a shame it wasn't included.
Excellent writing, acting, and production value! I loved it :)
Civil War (Posted on 9/25/2014)
- One of my all time favourite Marvel comic events, this is the next best thing to an animated film. Loved it highly recommended.
Civil War (Posted on 9/10/2014)
- This is my first Marvel title, and it was a great one to get started with. I hadn't read the Civil War story arc in the comics, so I was going in with just a little knowledge. The production quality was great, and the story flowed very smoothly.
worth it (Posted on 9/5/2014)
- this was one of my first buys and I loved it you can see y marvel is on top right now
field supervisor (Posted on 9/3/2014)
- One of the best marvel story come to life. It was an incredible experience
Marvel: Civil War (Posted on 9/3/2014)
In Stamford, Connecticut a second-rate team of superheroes takes on a second-rate gang of super villains. For the heroes it's an opportunity to gain some national attention and more viewers for their TV show. They get some national attention all right, but not quite the kind they had in mind. The end result of the battle is a smoking crater in a residential area of Stamford, nearly 1,000 civilians dead, and the death of the heroes and villains as well.
What happened next was all too predictable. It doesn't take long for Congress to initiate the SRA, Superhuman Registration Act, making it a federal law for all super-humans to register themselves with the government: secret identities, powers, everything. Those who register will now work for the government through the SHIELD agency. Those who don't will be hunted down and detained.
Iron-Man is all for the registration right from the start. After all, everyone already knows he's Tony Stark so he has nothing to lose. The president even calls on the Iron-Clad Avenger to help implement the SRA, talking other superheroes into registering, or convincing them by other means whenever necessary. Tony takes on this task with a disturbing kind of enthusiasm.
On the other side of the coin you have Captain America, probably the staunchest defender of the constitution this country has ever known. Cap is all about saving lives and being a hero, but being forced to register and work under government regulations is just too much to take. Cap is soon forced to go into hiding along with other superheroes that feel the same. It's plain to see that Cap's band of rebels will have to go toe-to-toe with Iron-Man's group sooner or later. And when they do, it will be all out Civil War.
For as long as there have been comic books, there have been writers dreaming up ways to get the heroes to fight each other, just to see who would come out on top. Comic fans themselves engage in endless debates on which hero is strongest. In Marvel: Civil War Mark Millar has come up with one of the more plausible scenarios I've seen to probe the minds and powers of some of my favorite heroes and I think he nailed it. Each hero is true to his or her own nature as they choose sides. I especially liked how the character of Spider-man was handled. Spidey really wants to do "the right thing" but revealing his secret identity would put his loved ones in danger. This side-story makes for some interesting additional drama.
I love audiobooks and I love comics. Any chance I get to put the two together and I'm in fan-boy heaven. That's what is so great about Graphic Audio. When they set out to make an audio production from a comic graphic novel, they pull all out the stops. We're talking cinematic music and sound effects along with a full cast of talented voice actors. And those voice talents are well chosen. The characters in Marvel: Civil War have been around for a long time and comic fans know them well. We've spent years imagining what Iron-Man's voice, or Captain America's voice, might sound like and I think Graphic Audio did a good job of filling those roles with appropriate voices. Marvel: Civil War is a full cast production so there is a pretty long list of actors, but some of then include:
Richard Rohan, Richard Cutting, Tim Getman, James Keegan, Kimberly Gilbert, Jeff Allin, Julie-Ann Elliott, Ken Jackson, Evan Casey, Elizabeth Jernigan, James Lewis, Thomas Penny, Danny Gavigan, Tracy Olivera, Elliot Dash, Nick DePinto, Tim Pabon, Michael Glenn, Thomas Keegan, Alyssa Wilmoth, Lily Beacon, Colleen Delany, Karen Novack, Scott McCormick, Caleb Brown, Bradley Smith, Nora Achrati, Sherry Berg, David Coyne, Christopher Scheeren, Eric Messner, Joe Brack, Terence Aselford, James Konicek, Alexander Strain, Casie Platt, Joel David Santner, Nanette Savard, David Harris, Michael John Casey, Yasmin Tuazon, Patrick Bussink, Casey Jones, Steven Carpenter, Drew Kopas, Lily David, Dylan Lynch and Damyon "Chop" Richardson.
Civil War (Posted on 8/28/2014)
- Graphic audio does a great job with voice acting. All of the titles I have bought (and there have been many ) really do create a movie in my mind. But definition of these characters, the lines defining one character from another are blurred some for me . I'm so used to the same voices from one title to the next. the same cast used in different ways across all titles here. I hope it's just me. I also hope to hear some new voices as graphic audio brings in new talent
No Regrets (Posted on 8/2/2014)
- This was my first buy on this site. No regrets from me. I listened to all of it in one straight session.
Marvel Civil War (Posted on 7/20/2014)
I enjoyed this Audio book! Nice Casting on the voices! I loved reading this story when it originally was released! While on a long rode trip, it was captivating to listen to Marvel's Civil War! Look forward to more Marvel and DC stories from Audio Graphics!
One disappointment, on listening to it this time, was that I had purchased this set back in February of 2013! and listened to it only once back then, and was disappointed to have the 6th disk, the last part of the story began skipping :( so the last part was disjointing in listening to the end of the story! I placed a request to have this disk replaced! Hopefully Graphic audio will replace it!
Fantastic for library collection (Posted on 7/17/2014)
- I am a librarian, and got this and another title to try out in my library's young adult collection. The teens liked them so much that I ordered 10 more. Since we also have the graphic novel version of this story, it has sparked debates about which is better, what were the best parts that were left out of the GA, what the GA did better than the GN, and all the other pitfalls of adaptations. Aside from being an excellent story, GA can be a great teaching tool!
Wow! He'll yea (Posted on 7/9/2014)
- Aww man super amazing can't believe they did this
Best one yet (Posted on 7/6/2014)
- Loved the graphic novel love this even more! Brings the whole story to life
Impressive (Posted on 7/1/2014)
- It's a powerful story and we'll executed by the Graphic Audio crew. There are some rough spots but this production is still much better than just one narrator .
Marvel Civil War (Posted on 6/28/2014)
- Fantastic Audio Book!
You Know Its Good... (Posted on 6/25/2014)
...when a voice actor makes you hate their role. This wasthe case with Maria Hill, i found myself just wanting her to be strangled or some other vile thing to happen to her. This was my first purchase from GA and it wont be my last.
Time and time again GA has proven itself to be the best Audio drama out there today. This production is no different, it is abridged yes but GA does an excellent job to "get to the meat of the crossover" the comic run was rather weak but when you can change that around for the best well thats a gift a true gift. GraphicAudio continues to live up to its logo "A movie in your mind". Cccc
The production is a little over 6 hrs but from beginning to end GA and Richard Rohan keep you enthralled.
Is it worth purchase? You damn betcha 10/10 way to Go Graphic Audio.
I think there was a little TOO much abridgement here... (Posted on 6/1/2014)
We've seen Graphic Audio "take the leap" with the three-volume Green Lantern epic "SLEEPERS" and I think they could have shown more faith in this opening into the Marvel Universe.
There was a lot more they might have accomplished here and the comic series was so expansive that no one would have objected to a 2 or 3 volume set amounting to 12-18 hours. Can't get enough of a good thing... especially since all of Pendant Audio vanished overnight and Graphic Audio is about the only place to go for either D.C. or Marvel audio productions.
Brilliant (Posted on 5/18/2014)
First time listener of the Graphic Audio productions, and as such comparing it with productions from other places.
The amount of voice actors was amazing compared to most other productions.The quality of each was consistently good.
I hope to see more marvel stories by Graphic Audio.
My first Graphic Audio release (Posted on 4/16/2014)
I adore full-cast audio drama but struggle to find many places that produce it, let alone produce it well. I'm also a massive Marvel comics fan so GraphicAudio seemed perfect and I was excited to try 'Civil War' out as my first purchase.
What can I say - the 'movie in your mind' promise was totally fulfilled. This was a very high-quality production - really well cast and with great sound design. There were perhaps a few moments where the pacing was a little off but overall the strength of the story and characterisation pulls you through at breakneck speed. I'm already looking forward to my next GraphicAudio release
Marvel Civil War (Posted on 3/30/2014)
- Another great performance by the G. A. Crew. Civil War is a great look into the personalities and flaws of these great super heroes. Interesting and full of action, a great listen.
My favorite so far (Posted on 3/28/2014)
Which was a surprise to me, because I'm mostly at DC guy.
In fact, as another reviewer, Lee stated, I had never read this event in the comic books. So listening to it here, was not only entertaining and enjoyable, but it caught me up on one of the landmark Marvel universe of events.
I first tried listening to GA, a few years ago listening to some of the samples. At first, I didn't really like them.
But listening to a whole one, I realize what my mistake was: I was judging them like radio theater. They're not radio theater, what they are is great full cast productions of audiobooks.
I'm a big fan of both of these media, both audio theater and audiobooks. They are not the same and you have to listen to them differently.
Once I realized that these are audiobooks, some of the things that bothered me at first, no longer did.
The production on this is typically superb Graphic Audio: the voice acting, production values, sound effects, script, sound effects and sound in general are all top-notch.
Somehow, maybe partially because I was*not*familiar with this story, this particular saga lent itself better to this medium than some of the other ones I've listened to, which I've also enjoyed.
I was riveted, and listened to the entire thing during the course of one day. Not all the way through from beginning to end in one sitting, but definitely by the end of the day I had heard the whole thing. And I'd listen to it again.
These things have a great re-listenability.
One small con, barely even touching any of the pros, is true about all of these productions I've listened to so far: I feel there a little bit over scored. Now I have to make a confession, I am studying & doing film & game scoring. It was also my major back in the late 1970s.
So it's possible, I'm more than a little oversensitive about these things, and maybe most people wouldn't even notice, given the outstanding performances, writing, and production.
Nevertheless, I am intending to give these guys some feedback concerning this directly.
Don't get me wrong; the music is great. Dan Sondak and Thomas Hogan do an outstanding job. And I need to look to see if they sell any of this music by itself. I'd love to just listen to the music sometimes.
But you see, that's the problem: it's *too* good. And it's too much.
It is indeed as they say in their descriptions of the products, "cinematic". But film music is like a spice, and sometimes in certain scenes, a little bit goes a long way. Sometimes the music is distracting, especially during dialogue scenes. And other times, distracting or not, it undercuts the drama of the scene, while still trying to tell us what it should be.
This is one of those cases of "show, not tell". And while it may seem sometimes that music is "showing", too often, like a laugh track on the sitcom, it's actually "telling". Telling us what to feel, or even maybe what the characters are feeling. This is a very powerful technique, and again it's more powerful, when you don't overuse it.
This is also sometimes true of the narration itself, but because it's an audiobook, it's not as much of a problem.
Nevertheless, sometimes I try to perhaps let the dialogue tell the story more then a third person narration. Or even a first-person narration, such as The Flash in Crisis on Infinite Earths. Most of that is quite good, and it's a great storytelling device. There's so many things in comic book panels that you do need to visualize. And sometimes, without a narrator, these might still be good stories, but we'd be missing some of the very important visuals.
Still, I would perhaps in future productions, see if the writing could be more dialogue heavy, and have the dialogue telling us what's going on. In audio theater, or audiobooks, you have to do something to tell the listener what's going on. But just simply telling us, sometimes you get to be a bit much.
Having said all that, I really want to emphasize, that these are almost like nitpicks for me, at least. These productions are so good and so entertaining that I feel they're worth everything I paid for them. I do have some other criticisms of their app on the mobile devices, but that's a story for another time.
One of the greatest events in the Marvel universe given the Graphic Audio treatment! (Posted on 3/24/2014)
Anyone admitting to be a comics fan must have gone through this 7 part comic book a couple of hundred times. Unfortunately, this is based on the paperback novel (written based on the comics.) And so, a bit of the storyline has been tweaked a bit.
But this is mostly a good thing. There is more breadth and emotional depth to the characters, and a lot more background details not available in the comics. I especially liked the part when Sue Richards went to look for Namor, the 1 page side story, has been fleshed out incredibly well, together with great ambiance and additional story, eg, funeral, reference to some previous chemistry between Namor and Sue Storm.
However, the Voice Characters are still not as spot on as the DC universe treatment. Tony Stark and steve Rogers sound the same. And Spidey is kinda whiney, the cartoon version of the 80s sounds like a better fit. Jonah Jameson has some weird southern drawl that's completely throws you off the pacing of the narrative.
However, good production value overall. Great for long commutes. Must buy.
hit all the main points (Posted on 3/8/2014)
Great production, sound , music , acting ect.
but.... Marvels actual civil war saga was less then good, in my view.
Too bad they couldn't do some of the better sagas like the infinity gauntlet, or infinity war.
Civil war (Posted on 3/2/2014)
- Truly amazing, you can hear the love and respect for the characters. I have purchased every comic production to date and I have never been disappointed
Civil War (Posted on 2/23/2014)
- loved it. As always you all did a great job.
Civil War (Posted on 2/21/2014)
- Great adaptation of story. Captured the feel of the storyline and made the characters come alive. GraphicAudio does it again.
Civil War (Posted on 2/20/2014)
- An excellent production for GA's first foray into the Marvel universe. Kudos.
Civil War (Posted on 1/29/2014)
- Graphic Audio did a great job on this. I hope more Marvel comes to Graphic Audio.
Civil War (Posted on 1/25/2014)
Marvel joins the Graphic Audio family.
Voice talent is fantastic as always. Spider-Man's muffled voice (he is talking through a mask) was a little annoying at times, but aside from that fantastic.
I never read the Moore/McNiven novel, but it does seem very abridged than that of the epic comic series and spin-off series that it covers.
All in all, great stuff and will continue to listen.
awesome (Posted on 1/23/2014)
- Great story and excellent production. off the charts supreme quality.
Stunning - incredibly written and produced (Posted on 1/21/2014)
- Based on preview and sample scene I decided to give the Graphic Audio version of Marvel's Civil War a try. It was epic. The writing and sound effects are amazing. You really get lost in the story and the characters. It might sound like a marketing ploy, but it really is a movie in your mind.

I have been gravitating to more casual looks recently. I expect, in part, this is to the feeling of being unconstrained by the spring weather. For me, winter evoked images of uninspiring dark clothing, and tightly bundled up layers, while spring has been the opposite - airy, relaxed looks, with considerably more color.
