NAPLES, FL (April 25, 2012) – About 795,000 Americans will suffer a stroke this year, yet most people in the U.S. cannot identify stroke warning signs or risk factors. Many strokes – some studies indicate that up to 80 percent – can be prevented through risk factor management.
There is no doubt that more education about stroke is needed. Few people in our community are aware that Collier County has one of the highest rates of stroke in the entire country, yet public awareness of stroke warning signs and risk factors has not improved during the past five years. With National Stroke Awareness Month, May is a time to change this startling statistic.
As part of their commitment to providing free medical information to the patient public, Physicians Regional Healthcare System will host a special event to raise awareness of this important medical issue.
What: Brain Attack: Treatment Options & Complimentary Brain Attack Screening
When: Thursday, May 3 – 6:00 PM to 8:00 PM
Where: Physicians Regional, 6101 Pine Ridge Road
This event will feature a presentation and Q&A with Dr. Eric Eskioglu and Dr. Brian Mason of Physicians Regional's renowned Neurovascular & Stroke Institute. Speaking alongside Eskioglu and Mason will be Dr. Richard Juda, Physicians Regional's Director of Critical Care.
Did You Know?
• Stroke is the fourth leading cause of death in the U.S.
• Between 1998 and 2008, the annual stroke death rate fell 34.8 percent in the United States. The actual number of stroke deaths declined 19.4 percent.
• By 2030, it is estimated that 4 million people will have had a stroke. This is nearly 25% higher than 2010 estimates.
• Stroke is an emergency! It's important to learn stroke warning signs and how to respond to them. Emergency treatment may be available if a stroke is recognized FAST and 9-1-1 is called. Use the FAST test to remember warning signs.
For those who wish to attend, please RSVP by calling 239-348-4180.

Kolektiva Institute and Photon – Centre for Contemporary Photography are announcing international video festival:
June 5 – 7, 2014, Ljubljana
About the festival
In 2014 the Video in Progress festival has joined with the Photonic Moments – Month of Photography festival.
Video in Progress 5: Reflections of the Past brings forth a variety of contemporary international video art addressing the issues of past times and memories. In this edition we took up the research of time and transitoriness. As selectors we were interested in how the common historical narratives intertwines with personal memories and how they both affect our identity and our sense of being in the world. At a time of multimedia culture, saturated with numerous events and information quickly sliding into oblivion, memories become fragile and evasive. Because of that there is a need to constantly interpret or reinterpret past events in order to make sense out of our present society and our actions as individuals.

Jordan Tippit
Most of the University of Tennessee at Chattanooga football players are back in town, their lazy summer days now mostly a thing of the past.
"I'm really happy everybody's back," junior safety Jordan Tippit said. "We've got a lot of work to do, and we've got 60 days, or a little less, to get it done before we play App State."
The Mocs open their season against the Mountaineers on Sept. 4.
Staff photo by Dan Henry/Chattanooga Times Free Press - Defensive tackle La'Nard Carr drills with fellow Mocs football team members during voluntary workouts being at the newly renovated Scrappy Moore Field on Thursday.
Most of the Mocs — "probably 90 percent of the returners," coach Russ Huesman said — began a voluntary workout regimen this week under the direction of strength coach Scott Brincks.
The high-intensity, four-week workout program will lead the Mocs — many of whom have been in Chattanooga for most of the summer — to the start of preseason practice on Aug. 4.
Along with running and lifting weights, the Mocs will conduct 7-on-7 practices a few days a week. The team had its first running session at 6:15 Wednesday morning. According to Tippit, who earned All-Southern Conference honors last season, there was no easing back into training.
Tippit said the players ran 18 110-yard sprints, with 45 seconds of rest in between, and did some gassers (times runs across the width of the field) at the end.
"It was pretty rough," Tippit said. "You always have a few guys not make it, but for the most part everybody fought through it even if they didn't make their times. We've got four weeks to put in the work and get ready."
The Mocs did a 7-on-7 afterward, as they did Thursday afternoon at the recently renovated Scrappy Moore Field, and that was a lot more fun, Tippit said.
"It was fun to get back out there and see everybody moving around, talking and communicating with everybody — just getting back in the swing of things," Tippit said. "It's always good to be playing football, no matter if it's 7-on-7 or team or just going through 1-on-1s."
Tippit and sophomore defensive end Josh Williams were recently named to Phil Steele's preseason first-team All-SoCon team. Junior quarterback B.J. Coleman, senior left tackle Chris Harr, senior tight end Garrett Hughes and senior cornerback Buster Skrine made the second team.
Extra points
UTC will host a women's football clinic at Finley Stadium on July 30. The clinic will include instruction on the basics of the game, a panel discussion and a Q&A session with Huesman and his wife, Amy. ... As of Thursday, 1,826 season tickets have been sold. UTC is trying to break last year's record of 2,527.
The Mocs' opener against Appalachian State will be televised by SportSouth and kick off at 3 p.m. instead of 6. The SoCon announced the TV dates for the league's eight "SoCon Saturdays" on Thursday, and UTC has just one scheduled appearance.
However, the games for the last two broadcast dates, Nov. 13 and 20, have not been set.
SportSouth and the SoCon will pick the most important games at that point in the season.
UTC is hoping the App State opener draws one of the largest crowds ever to Finley Stadium, and the perception is that a night game would lead to greater attendance. Ultimately, Huesman said, he and athletic director Rick Hart agreed that the chance to reach a TV audience from around the South trumped the potential slight hit at the box office.
John Frierson is in his seventh year at the Times Free Press and seventh year covering University of Tennessee at Chattanooga athletics. The bulk of his time is spent covering Mocs football, but he also writes about women's basketball and the big-picture issues and news involving the athletic department. A native of Athens, Ga., John grew up a few hundred yards from the University of Georgia campus. Instead of becoming a Bulldog he attended Ole ...
Here is hoping that more Chattanooga area football fans will stay at home this fall and watch the Mocs. There is no need to drive to Knoxville, Athens, Tuscaloosa, etc for good college football, it can be found in Chattanooga. Stay home, support the Mocs!

WEDNESDAY, Aug. 10 (HealthDay News) -- Poultry farms that have
made the transition from conventional to organic farming have
significantly lower levels of antibiotic-resistant bacteria than
conventional poultry farms, a new study finds.
Scientists are concerned about the use of antibiotics in farm
animals because it has been shown to contribute to
antibiotic-resistant bacteria that can spread to humans.
The researchers said they expected to see some differences in
the farm levels of antibiotic-resistant enterococci when poultry
farms transitioned to organic practices.
"But we were surprised to see that the differences were so significant across several different classes of antibiotics -- even in the very first flock that was produced after the transition to organic standards," study leader Amy Sapkota, an assistant professor with the Maryland Institute for Applied Environmental Health, said in a university news release. "It is very encouraging."
The University of Maryland researchers tested 10 newly organic
and 10 conventional poultry houses for the presence of enterococci
bacteria in poultry litter, feed and water. Any enteroccoci
bacteria found by the researchers was checked for resistance to 17
common antimicrobials.
"We chose to study enterococci because these microorganisms are found in all poultry, including poultry on both organic and conventional farms. The enterococci are also notable opportunistic pathogens in human patients staying in hospitals," Sapkota said.
As expected, enterococci bacteria was found at all the farms.
However, the organic farms had much lower levels of single and
multiple antibiotic-resistant enterococci.
The study was published online Aug. 10 in the journal
Environmental Health Perspectives.
"While we know that the dynamics of antibiotic resistance differ by bacterium and antibiotic, these findings show that, at least in the case of enterococci, we begin to reverse resistance on farms even among the first group of animals that are grown without antibiotics. Now we need to look forward and see what happens over five years, 10 years in time," Sapkota said.

It might sound like a boy band, but Boyz Party Mobile provides entertainment that is anything but chaste and pure. Granted someone's teenage daughter would probably be safe around many of these guys, because they appear to be more into dicks than they are into digging chicks.
Although some of them only masturbate on BoyzPartyMobile so who knows what they're thinking about while they do it. If my body was as smooth and hard as theirs, I would be egotistical and jack off to my own appearance. Luckily, some of them aren't that vain and more than willing to drain the main vein of another guy with a combination of blowjobs and butt sex.
There hasn't been an update since May 2013, but not to worry, because there are 718 videos already online. That should keep you going for a while and you can expect mostly good-looking playback, although the older scenes might not be quite at that level. You won't find any photos.
Despite there being an overwhelming number of twinks here, you will also see jocks with a bit more meat on their bones. There are also Latinos, Asians, and white and ebony hunks spewing their spunk. I already mentioned that there's solo and hardcore gay action, but let me further expand on that with tight, hairless assholes getting rimmed, and bareback and group sex. You'll even see DPs!
All of that sounds great I would imagine, so I almost hate to hamper your enthusiasm, but the navigation here is far from ideal. For one thing, you can only skip ahead or back by one page or five, which makes it a chore to see all the material. There isn't an advanced search or keyword tags and you can't save your favorites. There is a model index at least.
It might be easier to navigate your way through the desktop version of Boyz Party (you get access to it), which gives you three more 1 Gay Pass sites: Men Over 30, Circle Jerk Boys and Extra Big Dicks. These in turn have mobile versions, so you can check them out at home or on the road. These bonuses are great, but even without them Boyz Party Mobile is worthwhile despite needing a better design.

Whether established as a joke, to make a political point, or purely by accident, these 10 micronations across the world show that, if you don't like your own country, you can just go ahead and start your own. Of course, like all of the ones we've listed, yours might never be recognized as a real nation, but you may not mind.

FUEL is an insightful portrait of America's addiction to oil and an uplifting testament to the immediacy of new energy solutions. Director, Josh Tickell, a young activist, shuttles us on a whirlwind journey to track the rising domination of the petrochemical industry ââ¬â from Rockefeller's strategy to halt Ford's first ethanol cars to Vice President Cheney's petrochemical company sponsored energy legislation ââ¬â and reveals a gamut of available solutions to "repower America" ââ¬â from vertical farms that occupy skyscrapers to algae facilities that turn wastewater into fuel. Tickell and a surprising array of environmentalists, policy makers, and entertainment notables take us through America's complicated, often ignominious energy past and illuminate a hopeful, achievable future, where decentralized, sustainable living is not only possible, it's imperative.

New York, 1909. "Polo Grounds, view from Coogan's Bluff (baseball)." 8x10 inch glass negative, George Grantham Bain Collection. View full size.
Anyone have any thoughts as what the roof is made of and what color it would be? Is it a sort of whitewashed rubber?
Is this the predecessor of the Polo Grounds familiar to most of us, the one that was home to the Giants, Mets, and Jets?
I believe there have been several stadiums on the site. This would not be the first, but is it the second or the third?
The Polo Grounds have been gone for over a half-century, with a housing project now occupying the site. It's the same fate as its better-known counterpart Ebbets Field. Other than a plaque on one of the project's buildings indicating the location of home plate, no physical trace of the Polo Grounds remains - with one curious exception. Opened around 1913 and restored just a couple years ago, the John T. Brush Stairway runs down Coogan's Bluff from Edgecombe Avenue to what was the stadium's main entrance. It provided convenient access to the trolleys that ran along Edgecombe.

Diablo Cody and Oprah Winfrey are teaming up for an HBO comedy, according toThe Hollywood Reporter.
The untitled project is based on Dr. Julie Holland's upcoming book Moody Bitches, which explores the effects of drugs people are being offered and suggests effective natural therapies. The HBO comedy will focus on "the truth about the drugs you're taking, the sex you're not having, the sleep you're missing and what's really making you crazy," which is conveniently also the subtitle of Holland's book.

Diablo Cody is known as the mind behind Juno's sassy, Oscar-winning script, as well as a chief force driving Showtime's United States of Tara. But Tuesday night (9 pm/ET), the ingénue is stepping in front of the camera for the first time for a guest-role on the CW's 90210. In a cameo that has her gushing, Cody arrives at West Bev just as Tori Spelling returns as Donna Martin, now a fashion designer. Cody asks her to help with a red-carpet dress. TVGuide.com chatted with the writer to find out what it was like to film with her heroes, and, a year after winning her Oscar, if she feels like she's breaking new ground for women in Hollywood.
Tara writer-producer Diablo Cody
As United States of Tara concludes its first season (Sunday, 10 pm/ET on Showtime), our leading lady is on the cusp of confronting a possible key to her multiple personalities, with her family (mostly) there to support her. Tara's (Toni Collette) decision to go off her medication for Dissociative Identity Disorder (DID) has had significant impact on everyone around her. Each family member seeks closure, while new questions are raised. TVGuide.com caught up with Diablo Cody — the series writer and co-producer with Steven Spielberg — to get her take on the final freshman episode, find out where the show's going next season, which alter was the toughest to tackle — and why it was compared with her Oscar-winning script for Juno. Plus: Check back next week for the scoop on Cody's 90210 appearance with Tori Spelling and more.

Toni Collette, United States of Tara
Showtime's United States of Tara (Sundays, 10 pm/ET) is returning for a second season.
At least one of the show's writers had her fingers crossed for a Season 2 — and not just because she likes her job. "We really had a hard time putting everything we wanted to do [with the series] in 12 episodes — and that's not always the case!" Alexa Junge told TVGuide.com at the series' outset. "[Tara's] got a good story to tell, and we're just getting rolling here."
Juno's Oscar-winning screenwriter Diablo Cody has created a new dramedy for Showtime about a married, suburban artist with two kids — and she happens to suffer from Dissociative Identity Disorder (DID), commonly referred to as multiple personalities. Diablo sat down with TVGuide.com to talk about transitioning from film to television writing, working with Steven Spielberg and a dream cast, and what it's like to write so many different personalities for Tara. The United States of Tara premieres Sunday at 10 pm/ET.TVGuide.com: Let's talk about DID. Did you get to talk to people who actually suffer from the disorder?Diablo Cody: Yes I did. We actually have one consultant working on the show who is a mother who lived with DID and raising her kids. She's no longer living with DID, but she had it, and she gave us a lot of insight into the disorder.TVGuide.com: The main cause of DID is thought to be a result of traumatic incident during childhood. Are we ever going to find out what Tara's incident is?Cody: Later in the season, we deal with the source of Tara's disorder extensively. We do talk about the trauma that caused it, but at this point, the family is not exactly sure what the incident was that triggered it.TVGuide.com: Was there any inspiration behind the character of Tara's sister Charmaine (Rosemarie DeWitt), or did you just decide Tara needed an evil nemesis sister?Cody: I wouldn't necessarily call Charmaine a nemesis; she's an...

Quilting & Needlework
Our January 2014 UFO is........and the winner is...
Love this post!!! QW the jacket turned out really great,I have never done the hooded SS you will have to tell me about those neat seams I see,did you use the SS zipper?? I have cuffs and waist bands too if you figure out a good use for them Love the work everyone has shown,what talent!!!
" My bucket list bucket has a hole and it's leaking time"
Jacky, maybe you can use those leftover cuffs and waistbands on other shirts. Some of my shirts need to be reworked on the neck because they are too low in back (and then cold) or to close in front and choke me. A waistband ribbing would be enough to do that.
Or use the cuff ribbing on the top of patch pockets to help gather it a bit and hold the keys, gloves or stuff in the pocket as you sit or toss the jacket on a bed.
Or just get yardage of sweatshirt fabric and make one to fit with coordinating ribbing.
The neat seams are mostly an open seam of the jacket and a length of binding sewn down over the seam so you get the look of topstitching on the outside of the jacket. That was the way I did all the seams that I could work with the jacket flat.
The side and sleeve seams wouldn't do that all the way, so instead when I sewed the seam together I had the binding lined up with the seam allowance and sewed it on with the seam. Then wrapped it around the finished seam and stitched it down so everything is enclosed.
Hopefully, now I won't take the jacket off someplace and have threads attached to my clothing proving that I am a quilter and made my jacket!This message has been edited. Last edited by: quilting wifey,
Way to go DJ!!! What an awesome feeling!!! Can't wait to see the pictures!
Headie - glad to hear you found a way to work on your project. I waste many hours away on this computer. I love to look at quilt blogs!!! Stick with it, get it done and then give yourself a little break before we start on February!
Done, lighting is bad but until the weekend this is the best I can do. Now off to another UFO. It feels sooooo god to get things off that pile of tops.
Wow DJ!!! That's great! It's beautiful! There are some really neat rows in your quilt! Congratulations!
It really does feel good to get one done!!!
DJ, I really like that center row on your quilt. It looks great.
I have decided that I really don't like the directions for blocks on Quilter's Cache. My mind works differently and mine always need messing around to get them right. Thanks for letting me rant, back to working on finishing some more.
The quilt still looks great, though.
QW - I feel the same way!!! I construct my blocks differently and have a difficult time using her directions. It's great that she's so generous with her patterns though!
Yes, she is very generous, but when she misses stating that another size cut of fabric is needed until later in the direction it says to put the two 4.5 squares together, you start to wonder where you were getting those pieces. Another spot on this block it says something is to measure 3.5 after sewing, but mine were coming at 5". "Does not compute" in my mind. They should be interesting when I get them done!
Great finish, DJBrown! That's a neat row quilt.
WHY cant I do math?? I keep having to go back and make more blocks. It's simple (or should be) math. 14 blocks across 2 ends 32 across the other 2 ends... Oh well, at least I haven't made too many.
"May God give you...For every storm a rainbow, for every tear a smile, for every care a promise and a blessing in each trial. For every problem life sends, a faithful friend to share, for every sigh a sweet song and an answer for each prayer."
Actual got the borders on mine yesterday... and started hand quilting it last night. Will bring it to the doctors' office today while I wait for my mom and hopefully get more done. Got about 1/4 of the 4 patches done last night, but then there are a lot of bricks! (Doing Bonnie Hunter/s bricks and stones UFO)
WCFC- you are doing an excellent job at giving encouragement to all and projects are getting completed. All of you have done a beautiful job on your UFO. Congrat's to all and keep up the good work. I love them all. SueThis message has been edited. Last edited by: sister sue,
Sorry Lori...but you made me laugh!! Why is it that scraps multiply but blocks do not?!!
Jen - you are making progress in spite of all you have been up against. I hope the appts for your mother go well! Nice that you can stitch while you wait.
Sister Sue - thanks for your kind words. I appreciate your faith in me! There's a lot of encouragement on this thread!
Speaking of encouragement...how is everybody else doing on their UFO's?
RN55...maybe the aliens have come to my house too. I had to madly clean last week for an unexpected guest and I put my quilt in an important place (you know what that means...) Sunday I just had to sew, so I put together 108 blocks that were blue batiks (pre-cut charm squares) and had a glorious time sewing them all together. I finished it! So that at least got me warmed up to quilt the one I'm supposed to once I find it!!!!!
"It's bad to supress laughter. It goes back down and spreads to your hips."
How is everyone else doing? I'm stalled. First, the Juki on my frame downstairs is acting up. Have tried for a week to get it to work correctly, but it isn't having anything to do with me. Second, fell down the stairs and sprained my right wrist (and I'm right handed). Third, have lost at least one day out of the past three with doctor appointments. I'm checking around now for a long-armer to do the big twin size finish. Good thing I have the crib size and doll size quilts from these blocks done. Do I get credit for half-sies?
Gosh McP - if it weren't for bad luck...
You have really been through it!! I've heard that sprains can hurt more than a break! I hope your wrist heals quickly. Have they told you how long it will take before you can use it again?
I was just looking through that Quilting Blogs site tonight. I recognized Seeing Stars finished quilts! I thought that was so cool!!!
Round of applause to those of you who have met the challenge & have already finished their UFO & 3 cheers for those of you who are still working on getting yours done. Still days left in the month yet, so keep on a sewing. I am really enjoying reading this thread & seeing the pictures of your work. Beautiful quilts & great job on the SS jacket Qw.
I am picking up my machine today, so maybe I can get some quilting done on my UFO this weekend. It will help keep me warm to quilt while the temps are so cold. I can't wait for spring. This cold snap is cutting into my spending money for fabric. I do not want to see the heating bills!
Nice job everyone completing your projects!!
Our lives are like quilts - bits and pieces, joy and sorrow, stitched with love.
One more week! Come on, you can do it!
Finish those UFOS!
Finish those UFOS!!
You CAN do it!!!
l would be unstopable IF l could get started!!!
Thank goodness I found mine again after 4 days of looking for that "important place so I wouldn't lose it" during my cleaning binge for my guest. last night I thought, well where would it be if I were in left brain (logical)...since I'm 90% RB I looked in all the piles,etc. When I thought about how I felt when I found out my friend was coming, I remembered! In my organized box of projects this year to immediately work on. Right under my nose!!! All tidy with all the parts in it!!! Sigh...I do wish both parts of my brain would have a truce and help each other out.
"It's bad to supress laughter. It goes back down and spreads to your hips."
Nancyc20 - if you can figure out how to get your brain to work together, let me know. I could really use that information!!!
I see the light at the end of the tunnel. I have managed to get the binding attached by machine and pinned down for the hand sewing. I have to finish a project for my brother tonight but hopefully I will get some time this weekend to finish this UFO.
Great completed projects. I'm ready to add the binding, and continue. Yeah.
It's on the frame and about 40% quilted. Should be able to finish that part this weekend and get the binding machine stitched. Then I can hand-stitch the binding. It's supposed to be really, really cold (at least in Houston terms) all next week, so cuddling under a quilt while stitching is a great idea.
"Laughter is timeless; imagination has no age, and dreams are forever." Walt Disney
It's exciting to see more people coming on and updating us on their projects!
Carolyn - I hope your machine is 'good to go' and you can jump right back in! I know what you mean about this being a good time to work with quilts! I enjoy having one on my lap doing the binding this time of the year!
Nancy - I just had to do a quick tidy of my room last week! And, like you, it did become difficult to find things again! Maybe both sides of the brain would cooperate if you gave it more chocolate?!! Can't hurt to try!
Headie - Yay!!! You are just about there! I know you are going to make it!!!
gemsq - being in IL, you will appreciate a quilt to bind on your lap too!!! Go Girl!
My parents are here for a week. We knew they were coming, but weren't sure when! Kinda glad I got my quilt done when I did!!! I'm also committed to work on a different UFO that I can take all year to work on. I need to show a little progress on it by the first Thursday of feb! Think that will be worked on a little bit this weekend!
Here's a list of the January finishers...so far! There's still a week to go!!! I know we can add more names!!!

I had some issues with my Handiquilter but I think I resolved them last night so today it is full speed ahead with quilting friends quilt so I can get to mine. I haven't given up yet, I still may get it quilted but I'm glad to at least have the top together.
Great job everyone that has met their goal already! For the rest of us there's still hope

In God We Trust
I hope my name will be on this list of finishers. I've got my two quilts out that I hope to finish tomorrow. It is MY day...well, my 2 year old GS will get a few hours as his Dad has him this weekend, lol! DH comes in the room and asks "do you want to go to Orlando to get away next week?" I said "only if I can finish these two quilts tomorrow."
Here's my list of what I want to finish. I'm not worried about winning any prizes, I just need the motivation!
1. GS's Quilt – end of January
2. GD's Quilt – end of January
3. Lacey's Quilt (Niece)
4. Purple Hydrangea Quilt
5. Son's Blue & Chocolate Quilt
6. One Block Wonder - this one is from 2007! I wasn't crazy about it, so it ended up in the closet for all these years.
The blue and chocolate quilt is a king size. May not get this one finished in a month.This message has been edited. Last edited by: Downsouth,
I've got my DGD working on her UFO!!! Last summer she wanted to make a lap quilt for me. She picked out all her pre-cut 4 1/2" squares. Designed a rainbow pattern and pieced each row. Then she stopped! Hasn't touched it since. She's working on it now and just about has all the rows put together.
l would be unstopable IF l could get started!!!
I will be using every day available to me.
Started the machine quilting today (hate this part)
I am going to get this finished by Friday if it kills me!
Liking so far.
Wish I had better skills.
Or a longarm!
Things have been a little bit busy in my life. But, I just wanted to stop in and let Downsouth know that I did see her list! I'll get things updated. I hope you do get that UFO done!
Sew Happy!!! remember your name...you will sew and be happy!!! I love the quilting part of this process. It's my favorite part. It's amazing I get anything to that point since I hate to cut fabric. I find it tedious and boring!!!
Go Nancy Go!!! Hope you found that batting! You are getting close!!!
Rainbow - I love that you've got your DGD working on her own UFO!!! You've got to train her right! LOL!
irish - use every day and just know that even if you don't make it...you will be so close! Closer than you would have been!!! You can do it!!!
Keep going everybody!!! I can't wait to see more pictures!!!
Found the batting. Cutting tonight.
"It's bad to supress laughter. It goes back down and spreads to your hips."
Woohoo Nancy, you can do it!
"I think I can, I think I can, I think I can!",said the Little Engine That Could. 59 years ago my mom read me that story and I can still see the pictures in my mind!!!
"It's bad to supress laughter. It goes back down and spreads to your hips."
I have gotten side tracked on some snowmen quilts.
I plan on seeing what I can get done before the first. I have one more week. I probably will be walking the Shame lane!~!!!!!!
Good Morning!!! Some are so close, others aren't as close as they would like to be!!!
warm buns - I've been in your shoes. Life does 'get in the way'! LOL! That's how we get UFO's in the first place! There's always next month!!!
Nancy - I know you can, I know you can, I know you can!!!
warm buns you made me laugh! Shame Lane!! Love that!!
Keep on sewing! We're cheering for you and everyone finishing up!!
You can do it wb, nancy, irish, SewHappy!!!
DJ, love your quilt! Those fall colors are my favorites! Great job!!
Hoping we have a whole bunch more added to the done list!!
Linda, I will walk with you! I will have my top done but I really don't think I'll have it quilted.
"May God give you...For every storm a rainbow, for every tear a smile, for every care a promise and a blessing in each trial. For every problem life sends, a faithful friend to share, for every sigh a sweet song and an answer for each prayer."
I'd love to see pictures of the progress that you guys have made...done goes on the list, but progress is awesome too!!!
I already know that I'll be doing a walk of shame one of these months. I'll tell that story when we get to that number!!!
Well my meandering quilting is very meander-y, but it's done!!
WQFC, it would NOT have been done if not for your challenge.
Feels good.
Irish-Pictures please.
DJ- love the colors of your quilt, so warm and cozy looking.
Malou and SeeingStars-3 baby quilts each. They are 6 lucky babies! I really like the yellow and blue one.
quilting wifey-Nice jacket. My favorite colors.
Cookie Quilts-Lovely, great job.
Rainbow- What a fun looking quilt!
Wiley- Really like that pattern and colors.
Those of you still working this best of luck and look forward to seeing more pictures this week. Even if you don't finish this week don't put it back down until you do finish!
Wahoo!!! Mine is loaded and 2 rows quilted. I finished my friends today and started right in on mine. Because of the VERY cold windchills predicted my work is closed tomorrow for our consumers, they take the bus, but it's up to staff to decide if we go in. I'm thinking I shouldn't go and then I would have plenty of time to get this UFO completed!!!!!
Keep calm and carry on
Life is good!!!

neither do dogs and batting. If I leave it hanging down from the rollers Sadie loves to get underneath and sleep in it. Only, she doesn't just lay still - she gets bored (or paranoid) and attacks the batting.
"May God give you...For every storm a rainbow, for every tear a smile, for every care a promise and a blessing in each trial. For every problem life sends, a faithful friend to share, for every sigh a sweet song and an answer for each prayer."
I finished!!! I need to defur it but otherwise it is done. I will try to get a picture posted tonight.
Our sewing 'assistants' sometimes have a different idea about what is helpful and what is not!!!
One of my beagles has discovered that he can jump on my chair, then up on the sewing table. There's sun shining in and he's my sunshine boy!!! Only thing is, that's directly in front of my machine. When I was quilting my January UFO, he was right in my way. OR, maybe I was disturbing him?!! Maybe I'm 'enabling' him...he did it so much I finally put the old Christmas tree skirt on there for a bed!
Headie! Yay for you!!! So happy you got it done!!! Good for you!!! I'm adding your name to the list. Can't wait to see your pictures!!! Isn't it just the best feeling?!!This message has been edited. Last edited by: Will Quilt for Chocolate,
Oh I miss my beagle Heidi! I just love the backs of my animal's necks! So sweet.

The Doctor: Half-Human on his Mother's Side?
Guest contributor Stewart McDonald wonders if fans should so easily forget that infamous moment.
Ever since Paul McGann's Doctor uttered that line back in 1996, we human beings have been in total denial about our favourite Time Lord's heritage. We have put our foot down and refused to believe that the Doctor is actually half-human. And now the flames of fandom war have been stoked once again when Steven Moffat, show runner for Doctor Who, tested troubled waters by asking Whovians everywhere one question. A question that must never ever be answered…
No not that one, the other one:
"Keeping in mind that everything you know for sure is probably wrong, answer me this: in which story is it confirmed, definitively, that the Doctor is not human?"
- Steven Moffat.
And, of course, fans everywhere cried out in an uproar that shook all other fandoms out there: 'How can he make the Doctor human?' 'This is stupid!' 'Get rid of him now!' 'Silence must fall!' 'Moffat hate! Moffat hate!' Of course not all fans are like this. Most are sensible and will no doubt have searched all through the history of the show to not only find the definite episode to answer Moffat's question, but to also show just why it can't be.
But can it? Where exactly does it say that the Doctor is not half-human? Actually, don't ask me. If you want the exact truth, go find it yourself. That's not why I'm here. I'm here to ask a different question entirely.
Instead of asking how the Doctor can or cannot be half-human, we should ask why. Why can't he be half-human? What's wrong with him being half-human? What does this do to the show?
You know what, let's find out. Allons-y!
(Yes I did just say that, don't judge!)
Why Can't He Be Half-Human?
That's a good question, me. Why can't the Doctor be half-human? Well the answer everyone seems to leap at is the fact that he is from another planet. Another planet which happens to be called Gallifrey located in the constellation of Kasterborous. A planet which also happens to be in another universe.
The Doctor is from an alien planet and apparently is a completely different species. As far as we know, Gallifrey is not a former human colony. It has existed for longer than Earth and is far more advanced than our puny planet. So it possibly couldn't have any human influence, could it? But here's the thing. As much as my memory allows, I can't recall the Doctor, or anyone for that matter, saying that Gallifrey existed before Earth. It's certainly older than Earth but that doesn't mean it's from a future point in human history. Does it?
A simple theory could be that at some point in humanity's future, a group of colonists explore the Kasterborous constellation. They find a planet there with burnt orange skies and swaying mountains and the ability to support life. But what if they found something else there, too? What if they found a tear in the fabric of time and space? One that could let you see into the time vortex itself. What if they stabilised it and kept it from ever becoming unstable and destroying everything around them? And what if, over the course of considerably many years, exposure to the tear in the skin of reality caused the human colonists to change? To evolve faster than what should be possible. To develop a two hearted biology and an ability of cellular regeneration. What if the human colonists became Time Lords and gained the ability to see through time? What if they constructed a completely new society? A society almost totally free of war. They could build the domed citadels and the second city of Arcadia. They could eventually give a name to that hole in time and space.
Because of the varying effects it has on people who look directly into it, with the prime example being the Master, and that it seems to be uninfluenced by almost anything we know of, they could come to call it 'The Untempered Schism'. And thus the Time Lords would be born.
It would make sense. The Time Lords have never really been able to interfere with the time vortex, merely travel through its infinite tunnel of wibbly wobbly, timey wimey… Stuff.
But we also have to account for the part of the Doctor's mother being human. So this could come into play in two ways.
- The Doctor's mother was a human visitor to Gallifrey where she met and fell in love with a Time Lord. She gives birth to the Doctor and any other siblings she may or may not have had.
- She was already on Gallifrey. As we all know, as a species evolves it tends to split. One side evolves into a more advanced being while the other remains unchanged. This could have happen to the Time Lords. The Doctor's mother remained unchanged by the Untempered Schism's influence and the Doctor's father was a fully fledged Time Lord. The rest would follow like theory 1 with the exception of his mother not visiting the planet.
And so you have heard me say how it could work, but I have not answered if it should work. To answer that we have to look at the bigger picture.
What Would This Do to the Show?
For starters, it would account for why our favourite Time Lord and his entire species look suspiciously human. Other than ease of casting and costume design. This would explain why Time Lords appear to be human, why some of them sound like they're from the North (Looking at you, Eccleston). The Time Lords, over the course of their evolution, would have kept the human form while their physiology changed underneath. This would make them the face changing, mostly objective and pompous race that we have seen on our screens since the end of the Troughton era.
This would also explain why the Time Lords look down on the Doctor's interfering nature. They would be afraid that he would disrupt the timeline of not only Earth, but other planets he encounters on his travels. Thus their policy of never interfering in other people's affairs. Unless there's children crying, of course!
But what about the Doctor? Well it would account for his borderline passionate admiration and fondness for us humans. It would make sense, wouldn't it? The reason why he defends our home world episode after episode is because he sees it as his true home. He feels like he belongs there. The half-human inside of him feels obligated to protect and watch over the planet his people originally came from. It would also account for why he sometimes chooses not to interfere. For why he sometimes has to sacrifice so much to make sure that history stays on track. He does it to ensure the Time Lords can exist.
He would be constantly battling both sides of his heritage. The Time Lord inside of him would constantly tell him not to get involved. The human inside of him would tell him to stick his sometimes large nose into things, to explore things from a much deeper and personal perspective. To me, that just seems fantastic.
Some people will no doubt disagree with me, saying that it would probably cheapen the show's value by just making him human in some way. I stand firm and say it wouldn't. I think it would increase the show's value and potential and help us to get a glimpse into an otherwise unearthly character.
Okay, so we are down to one final question that I have to ask myself and all of you:
Should We Make the Doctor Half-Human?
For the most part, there is no reason why we shouldn't. It is a plausible and executable idea. I personally have no objections to whether or not the Doctor should be half-human. The closest example I can find where that works in similar fashion is Spock from the original Star Trek series, or Torres, the half-human/half Klingon from Star Trek Voyager. Both examples are similar to the Doctor, even their personal struggles over which species they should side with.
In the end, it's not up to me. The decision of the Doctor's biology is not in my hands, but rather in the hands of Steven Moffat. Whether or not he makes him half-human is not my concern, but whatever he adds to the canon and history of Doctor Who, I will welcome it gladly.
I leave one last message to Whovian's everywhere. Please do not be upset with Moffat for what he may or may not do to the Doctor. Just accept it and move on. If he tells us the truth of his parentage, so what?! He will still be the Doctor. And to take Clara Oswald's speech she gave to the Time Lords through the crack slightly out of context, just remember one thing:
'His name is the Doctor. All the name he needs. Everything you need to know about him.'

I kind of love the idea that the Doctor's mother invented the Chameleon Arch, the device that enables Gallifreyans to genetically transform themselves into humans. It makes his statement metaphorically true without it needing to be geneologically accurate.
Who is to say that River Song isn't his mother or granny?
even if he was half human, after looking into the untempered schysm when he was younger he would have turned time lord. his heratage would have no affect on his biology.
Oh... and if you want a complex answer (that is still in it's heart simple) here you go:
1- His mother was born on Gallifrey as a Timelord. (Easy.)
2- His mother has been through regenerations, as Timelords do.
3- In one incarnation, she took the form of a "human" (Let's remember that Romana toyed with non-Timelord bodies when she regenerated).
4- The Doctor was conceived and birthed in this form.
Bam! Half-Human on his mothers side. Not "from Earth" but half human.
Everything fits without a lot of work. You are welcome.
The true problem with this debate is based in the fact that, at it's core, the Half-Human storyline creates a "real world paradox". To accept it as truth means that much of what was written before and after contradicts it. At the same time, it is equally difficult to dismiss the statement, as the 8th Doctor was canonized by the show the moment his face was shown as one of the Doctor's past lives in "The Next Doctor". From that moment, Paul McGann's portrayal was legitimized, and the TV movie was accepted. Now, fans are left to accept his heritage of being half human or just try to brush it over and forget it. Neither sits well. This is why the article's author (and others) are forced to come up with rather incredible leaps of imagination and creativity to justify it as truth. Too much contradicts it.
However, people find it difficult to dismiss because not only did the 8th Doctor make the claim, but the Master confirmed it (via a retinal scan) later in the film.
But this isn't the first time that contradictions have crept into the Whoniverse. Between the Comics, Books, and Audio (all of which is considered canon) we have countless conflicts of information. This has been explained away with the help of "Wibbly Wobbly Timey Wimey".
Another example being the conversation between Amy and the Doctor in "Good Night"
- Amy: And I remember both lives in my head. Both of them, in my head, at the same time.
- Doctor: And it's fine, isn't it?
- Amy: Yeah, but it shouldn't be. Why is it fine?
- …
- Doctor: The thing is, Amy, everyone's memory is a mess. Life is a mess. Everyone's got memories of a holiday they couldn't have been on, or a party they never went to, or met someone for the first time and felt like they've known them all their lives. Time is being rewritten all around us, every day. People think their memories are bad, but their memories are fine. The past is really like that.
- Amy: That's ridiculous.
- Doctor: Yeah, now you're starting to get it.
Why accept this. We know that that sometimes a book will give one account of events and another book another and the show will say something different after that. The general rule is to accept what is broadcast, then apply the rest as "wibbly wobbly", which tends to sort most things out quite nicely. But in the Half-Human debate, the show is what causes the issue.
It seems like a lot of work to justify the event (as the article's author has tried to do) just to make the story acceptable. Likewise, those who oppose it always try to explain away the statement throgh the same complicated methods of trying to accept it and deny it at the same time.
I think there is a much easier way. Chalk the TV movie up to wibbly wobbly and move on. Now... there are those that might argue that I can't do that... because the Paul McGann Doctor is canon ("The Next Doctor", "The Girl Who Waited", and of course "Night/Day of the Doctor"). The thing is, you do not need to throw out McGann. You only need to view the TV movie as alternate timeline and the rest works. Sylvester McCoy still became McGann. Just that the TV movie's McGann was a half human. The 8th Doctor doesn't change otherwise. His audio adventures stand (and we should point out that it was never talked about again in his audio adventures), his appearances in the Doctor's timeline stands... Thats him... That's the 8th Doctor. No change. You just move the one event to Wibbly Wobbley and the rest works. Let the few books and such that have tried to delve into the Half-Human story join the wibble wobble (where most already view them) and be be done.
Way easier than all the stuff the article's author suggested. Simple and effective. Works for me.
In season 4 "Journeys End" the Doctor tells Donna there can't be a human timelord.
One possibility is he used the Chameleons Arch to change the mother inherited genetics into human because he was envious of their traits. However after the end of the TV movie he changed back because the Master used the humanity against him.
The Doctor mentions several times that Time Lords came first. One instance is Season 5 Episode 2 "The Beast Below" when he tells Amy the computer doesn't recognise him as human.
What is "Human", is it not a description? So let's look at the suggested facts, Half Human, on mother's side. Based on what we know, human just means not an animal, looking like people of Earth. So, if the Doctor had a mother (traditionally speaking), she would be Humanoid. So his father (traditionally speaking) would not be humanoid. Nowhere in there does it suggest, anyone in his family was from Earth, or a distant relative of Earth.
Also, if Time Lords can change gender, would they have traditional babies? So, if the Doctor did have a family in the past, was he a mother, a father, or both? Doctor Who is ill-fated if we continue to look for loopholes created by uneducated writers (mostly guest writers), who did not properly research the character. Moffat knows no one has the time or the resources to find every Doctor Who episode and go through line by line. And by the time you do all that, his episode will have aired, and it will be of no consequence.
Anyone mentioned Vastras line from AGMGTW?
told me about your people. They became what they did through prolonged
exposure to the Time Vortex."
I like the theory I've seen somewhere that because Gallifreyans are completely genetically engineered (looms are an amazing idea), the Doctor could be half-human on his mothers side, but engineered to be almost entirely Gallifreyan (lizard-mammal hybrids don't work too well in theory).
What was the line Paul mcganns doctor said in 1996
Remember 'The End of Time'. The Timelords would've erased themselves by destroying the earth in order to come back. Seems like a huge paradox to me..
"You know what, let's find out. Allons-y!
(Yes I did just say that, don't judge!)" Why would I judge? DT for the win!
Everyone seems to be thinking inside the box. Moffat asked that question about the Doctor being human and now everyone believes he will write a storyline about the Time Lords evolving from humans. However, what if he didn't mean that at all? What if a group of weak Time Lords crash landed on Earth and changed into humans? I know this is unlikely, but I think that would be a terrific cliffhanger and not as risky for Mr Moffat
Actually I think it is confirmed he is NOT human if you have seen last of the time lords the master aged the Doctor past his regeneration, he looked alien and small thats maybe what a true Galifreyian looks like.
Rule 1: the doctor lies.......End of discussion
Sure. He could THINK he's half human on his mother's side.... What if SHE had a certain pocket watch she needed at some point to turn human to avoid detection in some previous time war... Hmmmm?
Ok this might be a stretch but first off spoilerfoibs do not read. In the book Lunburrow (which i believe should be made cannon because it answers a lot of questions). The Doctor is a child of the loom but in the end we find out that the Other threw himself into the Loom to be reborn. No Lungburrow is suppose to be the events that take place right before the TV movie. So the Other was a born Galifreyan, the memories that are being awakened in the movie could also be the Others memories. Its a bit confusing and the book is hard to get a hold of. But if want it is a good read I know a place where you can a pdf version. I would be glad to share it with all my Whovian friends!!!
I don't really want the Doctor to be half-human. Part of the point and allure of the show is that he's not human, he doesn't really act human sometimes, and he's got a perspective on the universe which is different from that enjoyed by humans. I like the idea that the Doctor is different from us and yet has thrown his lot in with us - rather like Jane Goodall and her beloved chimpanzees.
I love this idea - to tap into that storyline a little more. And I love the scientific nature of his alien race all dying whilst he moves in and among the human race to learn and engage all he can of it. I even love the idea of his having a human soul mate in the universe, which conflicts with his cosmic gigolo status and draws him back into his primitive earthly self. As such, of all of his companions, Rose (although Sarah was a likely choice, too) was the only one of his companions who actually absorbed and fused with the Tardis itself - in a similar way to how the Doctor is intimately connected to and part of it and is even changed by it. I wouldn't mind if a residual amount of the Tardis remained in her from the earlier episodes in the first few seasons and developed within Rose over time, preserving her and all she is/represented of humanity for him, in her parallel universe. Perhaps she could occasionally be able to connect with him at weak points in time throughout eternity, drawn together cosmically, but without the ability for them to travel together. It would be the ultimate inner struggle of love added to his many other struggles of human-alien and the like. I'm sure other fans would disagree. But in this human context, it appeals to me. In essence a Time Lord who is half human and a human who is partly essence of the Time Lords.
I don't really know what's wrong with people saying the opposite. He is half-human and people need to get over it and just accept it.
Maybe his mother was exiled from Gallifrey and deliberately changed her DNA ....which means it is reversible.....Anything is possible...That's a whole new area of Doctor Who to explore - his family , his life pre and Unearthly Child. That could be a possible spin off - Who The Early Years....
I don't know whether this counts as "definitive", but in the finale episode of season 4 of the new series, "Journey's End", a Half-Human version of the Doctor is created, and his reaction is one of disgust:
"NEW DOCTOR ...One heart. (shocked, feeling his chest) I've got one heart! This body has got only one heart!
DONNA What? (touching his chest) What, like you're human?
NEW DOCTOR Oh, that's disgusting!" ... "No, wait, I'm... part Time Lord, part human. [sarcastic] Well, isn't that wizard?"
Disgust hardly seems like the appropriate reaction from someone who's already half-human. And later, Donna, who now apparently has all the Doctor's knowledge, says: "Because you two, you were just Time Lords, you dumbos! Lacking that little bit of human, that gut instinct that comes hand in hand with Planet Earth. I can think of ideas you two wouldn't dream of in a million years! Ah, the universe has been waiting for me!"
It's actually a really interesting theory that could be possible. Just because the time lords evolved from humans doesnt make them human. We evolved from apes but that doesnt make us apes. The time lords may have come from a small group of humanoid colonists (who in doctor who mythology, 'New Earth' showed the human race evolving into billions of species) who found the planet, they may have been flung back through the effects of the untempered schism and built their own society before earth was born. By that time, billions of years had passed and a time lord society was established so there was little connection between gallifrey and earth. And while the time lords in their mighty and pompous manner, disregard the earth as an insignificant speck, the doctor appreciates his ancestry.
I really have no issue with this. What I do have an issue with is when writers like to say "he's definetly not half human" or "he definetly is half human". I like the ambiguousity of it all. Is he half-human? Was he just lying to trick the Master? Who knows.
I know the BBC Eighth Doctor Adventure novels seem to say his mother is the human woman Penelope, so it seems like there's more evidence to say he is, but with the extended fiction, who knows?
I always quote that line. It's funnier when you're human! I don't think he should be half-human, just because it isn't necessary. It's a nice theory, but it doesn't really add a whole lot to the show. I prefer to think that the Doctor's just some dude from some place who does some stuff and who has a bit of a thing for this one planet called Earth.
"For starters, it would account for why our favourite Time Lord and his entire species look suspiciously human."
So do tons of other extraterrestrials in Doctor Who. The Thals, the Kaleds, the Classabindi, people from Sto, Solomon, the Drahvins, the Trakenites, the Terradonians, the Trions, people from Marinus, Erasmus Darkening, the War Lords, etc., etc.
Nope, nope, NOPE. It would be awful if they made him half human...
In the New Series itself, Gallifrey was around when the Universe was young, fighting the Great Vampires and the Racnoss during the Dark Times. They also see the Earth as a tiny, insignificant speck.
http:// tardis.wikia.com/wiki/Gallifreyan_history
River Song: "The Doctor lies." So his heritage can be anything...or not.
I've always thought that it was a weird thing the writer invented and that just grew up because the complicated of the canon
Amy: You look human?
The Doctor: no, you look Timelord. We came first.
Pretty sure that's saying Gallifrey and Timelords came before Earth and Humans ^
"As much as my memory allows, I can't recall the Doctor, or anyone for that matter, saying that Gallifrey existed before Earth." Sorry but although it isn't explicitly said it is shown that the Gallifreyans, and presumably Gallifrey, are older than Earth. As shown in 'The Runaway Bride', the Gallifreyans were at war with the Racnoss before the creation of the Earth as Racnoss survivors became the core of the planet to escape.
@AlinaNaomi They were about to destroy time itself. I don't think a paradox was going to be an issue there for long. We've also seen The Master hold back a paradox before in The Last of the Time Lords.
So Time Lords are actually wide-eyed CGI House Elves? I think I'd prefer even human Time Lords over that...
I really like the Cartmel Masterplan and I regard it as being true. However, I have had to make two big alterations to it; primarily, I have to assume that looms do not, in fact, weave fully-grown Time Lords, and instead, they weave them as children. If I were to stick on a sciencey-wiencey explanation as to why, then I guess their bodies would need time to develop in order to reach a point at which they could physically handle the stress of becoming Time Lords. Anyhow, this accounts for the young Master that we saw in Series 3, as well as the Doctor's cot (unless god forbid his cot is actually bigger on the inside and a fully-grown William Hartnell slept in there... :P). I mean, a formal, standardized system like the looms makes perfect sense for a dusty, old, bureaucratic race like the Time Lords. However, I also believe that Pythia's curse wore off sometime before Susan's parents were born, as I prefer for the relationship between Susan and the Doctor to be biological. Also, and this isn't a change, but rather, an addition - the faces that were shown in "The Brain of Morbius" were the Other's, in my mind.
@DylanKeithBrownYou can simply google "Lungbarrow pdf", the first result links directly to the file - it won't be stealing because the BBC made it public online back in 2003 anyway. However I'm actually considering getting a physical copy. It would be expensive as hell but I believe it might actually be worth it...
Except the show has said that he isn't far more often than it has said that he is.
@Dannie MadsenNo they don't if they don't want to.
@Thetimewarrior101 I still don't like the idea of Time Lords evolving from humans. Gives humans too much of an "original species" feel I don't like, makes the Universe too "Earth-centric", like a galactic Garden of Eden. I want life to -originate- elsewhere in its own right without us being there! Not an impossible plot twist, just one I do not desire. And I'm sure that still doesn't count as "coming first" no matter ow I bend my mind to fit that plot twist. That's still coming after. Like time travelling to your family's past and telling your grandma you came first: it still won't be true even if you lived to see her birth. (Said plot twist might happen because show runners have no fear to disregard what was said before or bend it to their own will, but again, not my cup of tea).
At the risk of being labelled pedantic, can I just point out that Humans didn't evolve from apes! Humans and apes both evolved from a common ancestor - a small yet important distinction.
Humans are part of the order of primates!
And technically, we already have an explanation for that from the audios. Although it could still be worked into a stable time loop wherein humanity's evolution leads to the birth of Rassilon who then goes back and seeds the other worlds with biogenic molecules.
@Temporal_Tomato we got a glimpse of that in The Runaway Bride. The Doctor really doesn't act like he's related to us.
@Silurian53 River Song: "The Doctor lies."
@Canis_L_Sapien And also the Doctor saying in The Ultimate Foe "Ten million years of absolute power", which is just Time Lord society, let alone Gallifreyan before that. So yeah, it is said in the show
@Amy is Hannibal I think Davies said in an interview that the Master as a child wasn't a memory, but simply Jack imagining the Master as a child. Nevertheless, since it was never clarified in the show, it's safe to still assume they can be children. There's a theory I've read that looms can and have been used to loom children sometimes. And I've also read that the faces in Brain of Morbius were indeed intended to be of the Doctor's before his "first" regeneration... which makes him the Other for me too :D
@Greenbed4059 The same alien had its wicked way with both lol.
@CharlieHiggins The issue with statements like that for this argument is that we would need to know when the Doctor's personal time of origin is in regards to earth. The Time Lords could have "Ten million years of absolute power" but be placed 50 million years into the human races future from our perspective.

Delhi heist: Two Haryana cops held for 'robbing' robbers
Two Haryana Police officials have been arrested for robbing Rs.7.5 lakh from one of the gang who robbed a businessman and his employees in a well-planned operation here last month, police said Friday.
Assistant Sub-Inspector Basant and Head Constable Sandeep Kumar were arrested by the Delhi Police following the arrest of three people who were involved in the south Delhi heist, police said.
Basant and Kumar, posted at Gurgaon's Kherki Dola police station, had taken away Rs 7.5 lakh from Ajay Nagarwal, which he was carrying to buy a second hand SUV in Gurgaon.
Police arrested Nagarwal and his two associates in connection with the robbery of Rs.7.69 crore at gun point from a businessman in Lajpat Nagar of south Delhi Jan 28. The robbers escaped in the trader's car in which he was going with four other employees.
According to a police officer, after committing robbery, Shakti, one of the robbers who is still absconding, gave Rs.10 lakh to Nagarwal to purchase a second-hand big SUV so they all could go to a remote area with the huge amount of cash.
When Nagarwal along with other robber Pradeep were going around the Kherki Dola area in search of a car dealer, they were stopped by Kumar and Basant. Pradeep, who had Rs.1 lakh in his pocket, escaped from the spot but Nagarwal who had Rs.9 lakh in his bag was caught.
Nagarwal was taken to the Kherki Dola police station and after being detained for three to four hours, was let go. However, only Rs.1.5 lakh was returned to him while Kumar kept back the remaining cash, which he later shared with Basant, police said.

pp. The removal by a mutual fund manager of one or more poorly performing stocks just prior to a performance review date.
Example Citation:
In the investment world, there remain plenty of impenetrable phrases which make sense only to those in the know. A new one crossed my desk the other day. It was 'window undressing'. Like much, but by no means all, investment jargon, it originated in the US. The term applies to the practice of fund managers dumping unsuccessful investments before a review date. Thus, a fund manager might sell technology stocks on which there is a big loss immediately ahead of a quarterly review period so they do not appear on the portfolio valuation.
—"Investment View," Money Marketing, April 5, 2001
—"Investment View," Money Marketing, April 5, 2001
Earliest Citation:
Ralph Acampora, technical analyst at Prudential Securities Inc., said he was 'pleasantly surprised' that the market held up earlier in the day despite the pressure from weak overseas markets, especially Japan. 'There's also the pressure from portfolio managers to unload unwanted stocks at the end of the quarter. Others call it window-dressing, I call it window-undressing,' he said."
Frank Sakdalan, "Stocks end narrowly mixed," UPI, June 26, 1992
Frank Sakdalan, "Stocks end narrowly mixed," UPI, June 26, 1992
Today's phrase actually began life in investment circles as window dressing. Then a wag or two realized that since the fund managers are actually shedding poorly performing stocks, the phrase really ought to be window undressing. Good for them, I say. You can see one such wordsmith at work in the earliest citation, above.
