Vaginal agenesis (a-JEN-uh-sis) is a condition that develops before birth, in which the muscular canal (vagina) to your uterus fails to develop fully. When this happens, other problems also may appear. For example, you may have a small uterus or, more commonly, no uterus at all.
For vaginal agenesis, your treatment team can include doctors specially trained to treat children and adolescents (pediatricians), female reproductive systems (gynecologists and urogynecologists) and intestinal problems (colorectal surgeons). Your treatment team works with you to find the most appropriate solution for your disorder.
After treatment, you may be able to have a normal sex life. Most women with the disorder can't get pregnant. If you have healthy ovaries, however, it may be possible to have a baby through in vitro fertilization using a surrogate mother.

Why Choose Mayo Clinic
What Sets Mayo Clinic Apart
Depending on your age, your Mayo Clinic pediatrician or gynecologist diagnoses your condition based on your medical history and a physical exam. Vaginal agenesis diagnosis can happen at different times in your life, for instance:
To determine your treatment options, your doctor may recommend other testing, including:
Read more about ultrasound and MRI.
Treatment for vaginal agenesis often occurs in your late teens or early 20s, but you may wait until you're older. If your parents learned about your condition when you were an infant or young girl, you may have already begun treatment.
In addition to working with your treatment team, talking with a counselor about your condition might be helpful. Psychologists at Mayo Clinic can answer your questions and help you deal with the implications of having vaginal agenesis.
Depending on your individual condition, your doctor may recommend one of the following courses of treatment.
As a first step, your doctor will probably recommend self-dilation. Self-dilation may allow you to create a vagina without surgery. You press a small, round rod (dilator) against your skin or inside your existing vagina for at least 30 minutes a day. Your skin stretches more easily after a warm bath so that's the best time to do it. As the weeks go by, you switch to larger dilators. It may take a few months to get the result you want.
If self-dilation doesn't work, surgery to create a functional vagina (vaginoplasty) may be an option. Doctors usually delay surgical treatments until you have the maturity to handle follow-up dilation. Options for vaginoplasty surgery include:

Home Life
Home can look very different from one family to the next. It may be laden with traditions, or laissez-faire. It may include many people, or only a few. Home can be one location with strong roots, or spread over several locations. Regardless of how home life functions, it is where families of all types grow together. This environment is strengthened when it is a place of respect, kindness, consideration, and honesty.

VIDEO: Texting Guy Barely Escapes Bumping Into Bear
By Mark Memmott
If this doesn't make you want to put down that cellphone, we don't know what will.
Watch what happened as Los Angeles TV station KTLA was tracking a black bear as it wandered through a neighborhood in La Crescenta, Calif., Tuesday morning.
Local resident Vaz Terdandenyan almost walked right into the 400-pound animal.
He'd gone outside to see why a helicopter was hovering over the area, and "I was texting my boss that I would be late for work because something is going on," he told the station afterward.
"I'm coming down the stairs and I see the bear coming up the stairs toward me," Terdandenyan added. "I turned back and I ran for my life."
All we can say is OMG.

A Virginia energy company seeking to build a natural gas compressor station in Myersville has sued the town, its mayor and council concerning their refusal to approve the company's plans, arguing federal laws should overrule local zoning.
The lawsuit, filed Thursday in U.S. District Court in Baltimore, is the latest twist in the dispute that began in February, when Richmond, Va.-based Dominion Transmission Inc. filed a plan to build facilities in Ohio, West Virginia, Pennsylvania and Maryland, including the compressor station at the intersection of Milt Summers Road and Md. 17.
The compressor station would help maintain pressure to help move gas through the pipeline.
The project has attracted vocal opposition from some Myersville residents, who have expressed concerns about the environmental effects of the station and safety if there were an explosion or other incident at the station.
The five-member Myersville Town Council unanimously rejected the plan in August, ruling that the project wasn't consistent with the town's plans for an area that was zoned to attract commercial business.
The lawsuit asks a federal judge to make Dominion immune from ordinances and other zoning rules that led the council to reject the company's application.
The complaint names the town, the town council collectively and Mayor Wayne S. Creadick Jr. as defendants.
Myersville Town Planner Brad Dyjak said the town has received a copy of the complaint but will not have a comment until the mayor and council have had a chance to review it in a closed session at their Feb. 12 meeting.
The Federal Energy Regulatory Commission granted Dominion an approval to build the project in December — a decision the town has asked FERC to reconsider in another hearing.
Maryland U.S. Sens. Barbara Mikulski (D) and Benjamin Cardin (D), along with U.S. Rep. Chris Van Hollen (D-Dist. 8), have publicly supported the town's request for a rehearing.
In a Jan. 24 letter to FERC's chairman and commissioners, the three lawmakers said they were especially worried about the project's ability to comply with clean-air regulations and the Maryland Department of the Environment's decision not to issue the project an air-quality permit
"It is critically important that this project be vetted in a thorough fashion, in compliance with all applicable state and federal laws, so that any potential negative impacts can be discovered and addressed before moving forward," the letter said.
The Natural Gas Act of 1938 gives FERC jurisdiction over the interstate transportation and sale of natural gas, meaning FERC's approval supersedes the Myersville council's, according to Dominion's complaint.
"Because DTI (Dominion) is subject to the exclusive jurisdiction of FERC as it pertains to the siting, design, construction, and operation of the Myersville Compressor Station, the Town's denial of DTI's request to amend the Site Master Plan, as well as the Town Code and any local ordinances, rules and regulations upon which the Town Council and Mayor relied on denying DTI's Amendment Application, are preempted by the FERC Certificate and the Natural Gas Act," the complaint said.
Before filing the lawsuit, the company tried to work with the town to find a way that the project could move forward that is acceptable to everyone, Dominion spokesman Chuck Penn said Monday.
When the town declined, the company felt it was left with no choice but to seek a legal enforcement of FERC's policy, he said.
"We simply need to build this project," Penn said.

Larry McNutt had a luxury in his first year as Creston girls basketball coach last winter that he doesn't have in 2012.
Inheriting a veteran squad.
The 2011-12 season was remarkable in many ways, including a tie with Denison-Schleswig for fourth place in the Hawkeye 10 at 7-6, one game in front of Harlan. The 9-14 season overall included a regional tournament win over Red Oak, and a narrow 51-50 home defeat to Carroll Kuemper, which finished 11-2 in league play.
"We won every game we should have won, except for Atlantic over there at the end of the season," McNutt said. "We bounced back and won a tournament game. We beat Denison. We could have beat Kuemper and Harlan. The LC game was single digits early. We played with a lot of the better teams in about every game."
That squad, however, had six seniors, including starters Madison Frain, Audrey Bolinger, Katlin Briley and Maddie Haines. They also happened to be the four leading scorers. Briley and Frain earned All-Hawkeye 10 honorable mention.
Brianna Maitlen, one of two seniors on this year's squad along with Emma Johnson, was fifth in scoring at 6 points per game, and the leading rebounder at 7.6. She and the other returning letterwinner, sophomore Natalie Mostek, form the core that McNutt is building around for the current campaign.
"It's a new year and a new start," said McNutt, assisted this year by Mendy McCreight and freshman coach Mallory Peterson. "We don't really compare from one year to the next. This group will earn its own identity. I'm sure it will play a little differently."
With two seniors, four juniors, four sophomores and 11 freshmen, it's a team that could be building experience for a bright future. But, McNutt is not assigning a specific goal for this season.
"For us, it's really about playing hard and getting better," McNutt said. "Our goal is to get better, period. I don't put out a goal for a certain number of wins. Our motto is, be the best we can be, whatever that is. As long as they listen and play hard, that will be successful."
Jamboree tuneup
The new Panther squad gets its first taste of game action tonight in the 8:15 finale of the SWCC Jamboree. The event includes four two-quarter games as a tuneup for next week's season openers.
SWCC coach Brett Gilcrist and McNutt organized the event, which serves as a fundraiser for the SWCC women's basketball team.
"I approached coach Gilcrist and said I'd like to do a jamboree, just to put the uniforms on and go through warmups," McNutt said. "Just so the kids know how things work before a game. Other jamborees were in places like Des Moines, Harlan and Chariton. Nothing close. This brings 80 to 100 kids to campus as a good little fundraiser for the SWCC women's basketball team, and it allows us to drive across town to play."
The official opener is Monday at the Raiderette Tip-Off Tourney in Mount Ayr. Instead of opening the season against Dallas Center-Grimes, thought to be in the top five of the state in Class 4A of the new five-class system this year, the Panthers have replaced that game and the Norwalk game with the two-day Mount Ayr event.
Creston faces Lamoni at 6 p.m., followed by Orient-Macksburg and the host Raiderettes at 8 p.m. The winners meet for the championship at 8 p.m. Tuesday, after the consolation game among Monday's losers.
Regardless, McNutt said his team has its work cut out for it.
"We're not very big," he said. "We're going to have to be good defensively and get after people. They're all good kids and they listen, so they're going to improve a lot."
Returning starter
In addition to leading the team in rebounding and ranking fifth in scoring, Maitlen was third in steals and second in blocked shots.
"She'll need to do a little more for us offensively than she had to last year," McNutt said. "Bri will be a better offensive player this year, I can already tell that."
Also working inside will be juniors Zaidy Frank and Olivia Nielsen, freshman Jenna Taylor and the versatile Mostek.
"Natalie will be expected to play inside and outside, so she has the tough job of learning multiple positions," McNutt said.
Out front will be Chelcee Downing and Brenna Baker as the point guards and primary ball handlers, along with Johnson, sophomore Maria Mostek and freshman Alli Thomsen.
"A lot of it depends on foul trouble and how the game is going," McNutt said. "We're still not sure how everything is going to go (player rotation). A few freshmen will get an opportunity."
The freshmen were 11-1 in each of their middle school seasons, while last year's freshmen went 9-4 as the JV went 10-11. Both of those teams showed the ability to play hard and make up for a size disadvantage.
League leaders
Lewis Central and Glenwood tied for the league title last year, and LC is again expected to be loaded with talent. Glenwood was hit hard by graduation, but has some potential for a quick rebuild.
Denison-Schleswig, Harlan and Kuemper will be formidable opponents, McNutt said. Clarke has a strong senior class as a nonconference opponent, and on Nov. 26 the Panthers face a Winterset team expected to be among the Class 4A elite this season.
In fact, LC and Winterset are early challenges on the November schedule after the Raiderette Tip-Off Tourney, followed by games against Kuemper and Glenwood.

When does spring 2015 begin? On this page, get informed about the vernal equinox, spring weather—and a solar eclipse!
- Astronomically speaking, the March equinox occurs when the Sun crosses the celestial equator on its way north along the ecliptic. In the Northern Hemisphere, the March equinox is known as the vernal, or spring, equinox, and marks the start of the spring season.
In the Southern Hemisphere, this equinox is known as the autumnal, or fall, equinox and marks the start of the fall season; the vernal equinox for the Southern Hemisphere occurs in September.
The March equinox happens at the same moment across the world but is converted to local time. In 2015, it falls on March 20 at 6:45 P.M. EDT, 5:45 P.M. CDT, 4:45 P.M. MDT, and 3:45 P.M. PDT, for example.
- Meteorologically speaking, however, in the Northern Hemisphere the official spring season always begins on March 1 and continues through May 31. Summer begins on June 1; autumn, September 1; and winter, December 1.
Weather scientists divide the year into quarters this way to make it easier to compare seasonal and monthly statistics from one year to the next. The meteorological seasons are based on annual temperature cycles rather than on the position of Earth in relation to the Sun, and they more closely follow the Gregorian calendar. Using the dates of the astronomical equinoxes and solstices for the seasons would present a statistical problem because these dates can vary slightly each year.
Spring 2015 Weather Forecast
Ah, spring! Ready for some warmer temperatures?! See the Almanac's spring 2015 forecast summary.
The Vernal Equinox
The word equinox is derived from the Latin words meaning "equal night." All over the world, days and nights are approximately equal. Today, the Sun rises exactly in the east and sets exactly in the west.
At the equinoxes, the tilt of Earth relative to the Sun is zero, which means that Earth's axis neither points toward nor away from the Sun. (However, the tilt of Earth relative to its plane of orbit, called the ecliptic plane, is always about 23.5 degrees.)
Enjoy the increasing daylight! See how your day "grows" with our personalized Sun rise and set calculator.
A Total Solar Eclipse
This year there is a total eclipse
of the Sun on the day of the Vernal Equinox! This is quite rare; the next time this happens is 2034. The total solar eclipse occurs over the Faroe Islands, off Scotland; the path of totality then marches directly to—and stops at—the North Pole. See our 2015 eclipse page.
In addition, on March 20, we have a second celestial event: a Supermoon! In our Sky, the Moon, which was at perigee less than 24 hours prior, turns into a "New Moon" on the 20th. It is not visible; however, it has a larger-than-average effect on Earth's oceans. See our Moon phase calendar.
Equinox Facts
Question: Why doesn't the vernal equinox (equal night) on March 20 have the same number of hours for day and night?
Answer: Our former astronomer, George Greenstein, had this to say: "There are two reasons. First, light rays from the Sun are bent by the Earth's atmosphere. (This is why the Sun appears squashed when it sets.) They are bent in such a way that we are actually able to see the Sun before it rises and after it sets. The second reason is that daytime begins the moment any part of the Sun is over the horizon, and it is not over until the last part of the Sun has set. If the Sun were to shrink to a starlike point and we lived in a world without air, the spring and fall equinoxes would truly have 'equal nights.'"
View the reason for the seasons and why the seasons change.
Equinox Folklore
Question: According to folklore, you can stand a raw egg on its end on the equinox. Is this true?
Answer: One spring, a few minutes before the vernal equinox, several Almanac editors tried this trick. For a full workday, 17 out of 24 eggs stood standing. Three days later, we tried this trick again and found similar results. Perhaps 3 days after the equinox was still too near. Try this yourself and let us know what happens!
Spring Verse
One swallow does not make a spring.
Bluebirds are a sign of spring; warm weather and gentle south breezes they bring.
In spring, no one thinks of the snow that fell last year.
Don't say that spring has come until you can put your foot on nine daisies.
Spring-time sweet!
The whole Earth smiles, thy coming to greet.
Signs of Spring
The vernal equinox signals the beginning of nature's renewal in the Northern Hemisphere. Worms begin to emerge from the earth, ladybugs land on screen doors, green buds appear, birds chirp, and flowers begin to bloom.
You can track when the seasons change by observing (and recording) the plants and animals around you.

Nine Months Later
Jack decided to go skiing with his buddy, Bob. So they loaded up Jack's minivan and headed north. After driving for a few hours, they got caught in a terrible blizzard. So they pulled into a nearby farm and asked the attractive lady who answered he door if they could spend the night.
"I realize its terrible weather out there and I have this huge house all to myself, but I'm recently widowed," she explained. "I'm afraid the neighbors will talk if I let you stay in my house"
"Don't worry," Jack said. "We'll be happy to sleep in the barn.
And if the weather breaks, we'll be gone at first light." The lady agreed, and the two men found their way to the barn and settled in for the night.
Come morning, the weather had cleared, and they got on their way.
They enjoyed a great weekend of skiing.
But about nine months later, Jack got an unexpected letter from an attorney. It took him a few minutes to figure it out, but he finally determined that it was from the attorney of that attractive widow he had met on the ski weekend.
He dropped in on his friend Bob and asked "Bob, do you remember that good-looking widow from the farm we stayed at on our ski holiday up north about 9 months ago?"
"Yes, I do." said Bob
"Did you happen to get up in the middle of the night, go up to the house and pay her a visit?"
"Well, um, yes," Bob said, a little embarrassed about being found out "I have to admit that I did."
"And did you happen to use my name instead of telling her your name?"
Bob's face turned beet red and he said, "Yeah, look, I'm sorry, buddy. I'm afraid I did." Why do you ask?"
"She just died and left me everything."
(And you thought the ending would be different, didn't you?... Now keep that smile for the rest of the day.)
When at a garage sale.........offer triple the amount wanted for an item. Insist that they sign a contract so they will be less apt to change their mind.

This could be most anyplace.
A Texas Ranger pulled over a red Porsche (inhabited by a Yankee) after it had run a stop sign. He walked up to the car door and said, "Sir, May I see your driver's license and registration please?"
The Yankee said, "What's the problem, officer?"
"You just ran the stop sign back there at the last intersection."
"Oh, come on pal, there wasn't a car within miles of me!"
"Nevertheless sir, you are required to come to a complete stop, look, both ways, and proceed with caution."
"You gotta be kidding me!"
"It's no joke, sir."
"Look, I slowed down almost to a complete stop, saw no one within twenty miles, and proceeded with caution."
"That's beside the point, sir. You are supposed to come to a complete stop, and you didn't. Now if I may see your license and..."
"You've got a lot of time on your hands, PAL! What's the matter, all the doughnut shops closed?"
"Sir, I'll overlook that last comment. Let me see your license and
registration immediately!"
"I will, if you can tell me the difference between slowing down, and coming to a complete stop."
The elderly Ranger had enough and said to the driver, "Sir, I can do better than that." He opened the car door, dragged the obnoxious motorist out, and proceeded to methodically beat him over the head with his nightstick. "Now sir, would you like me to slow down or come to a complete stop?"

Recipe by NUNPUNCH
"This tangy, creamy dip tastes just like Buffalo chicken wings. It's best served hot with crackers and celery sticks. Everyone loves the results!"
Hmm. None of these ingredients are on sale today.

2 (10 ounce) cans
chunk chicken, drained
2 (8 ounce) packages
cream cheese, softened
1 cup
Ranch dressing
3/4 cup
pepper sauce (such as Frank's Red Hot®)
1 1/2 cups
shredded Cheddar cheese
1 bunch
celery, cleaned and cut into 4 inch pieces
1 (8 ounce) box
chicken-flavored crackers
Great dip for football season! I used Texas Pete Buffalo Style Chicken Wing Sauce, 1/3 less-fat cream cheese (aka Neufchatel), and 1 lb. of fresh chicken that was boiled for 20 minutes (or until done) and then shredded. However, to avoid the strange "orange sherbert" color of the dip, I layered the ingredients in a 8"x11" baking dish as follows: Mix together the softened cream cheese and ranch dressing and spread evenly in the bottom of the dish. Then mix together the shredded chicken and wing sauce (about 2/3 bottle)and layer on top of the cream cheese mixture. Sprinkle just a small amount of shredded cheese (I used Colby/Jack) over the top. Bake at 350 for about 20-25 minutes or until dip is heated through and cheese is melted. I just think people tend to shy away from the dip when it's all mixed together because of the strange color. It's more recognizable (retains a brighter red color) when it's layered and gets gobbled up faster!
Definitely wasn't what I expected.... probably won't make again.

I have made a variation of this recipe for over a year now and have never been disappointed. I suggest using more chicken and more hot sauce with this recipe. Also, if you use the chedder cheese, don't use the pre-shredded bags from the grocery store. The cheese in those bags is coated with flour and it seems to make the dip oiler.
the biggest hit for the superbowl party! I did use bleu cheese dressing instead of ranch because thats what you eat with buffalo chicken! I also used 2 boneless chicken breasts instead of canned chicken (i cant stand canned meats) grilled it in a pan, cut it into bite sized pieces, put it back in the pan with the hot sauce. When I mixed the the cream cheese and bleu cheese together I added more hotsauce for more of a kick. Baked in an 8x8 pan, 350 for 20 minutes. Dip was gone in minutes! will make 100 more times!!
A KEEPER! A really tasty and unique dip with the perfect amount of zip. I used 3 boneless skinless chicken breasts, boiled and shredded. (I can't stand canned meat) I mixed all ingredients and baked it in a uncovered casserole dish for 20 minutes at 350 degrees. Then I converted it to a crock pot to keep it warm. I served it with tostito scoops and celery. It was the talk of the party!!
I got this recipe about a month ago off of this site to take to a pitch-in and since then have made it 3 more times! It's a total hit and everyone loves it! My changes (okay, I made quite a few): use 1/2 cup Frank's Buffalo Wing Sauce and 1/2 cup Red Hot, 1/2 cup of Ranch dressing and 1/2 cup Blue Cheese dressing, and put almost all of the cheese in the dip and just sprinkle some on top. Oh yeah, and we used fresh chicken shredded in the food processor as someone suggested. And we didn't like the crock pot method - it made the dip get dried out pretty quickly. We just cooked it on the stove and put it into a serving dish (we did end up puting in the microwave a few times, but that was okay). This is great because the recipe itself is very low carbs and you can use low fat cream cheese, dressing, and cheese and you don't experience all that much guilt... especially when served with celery sticks (although those Fritos scoops are fabulous!) Thanks for this one!
This is a great and easy appetizer to make and is very well received and I have never brought any home from any party. I read the reviews before making it and like many others I made a few modifications that I think helped make the recipe better. I used 1 lb of skinless chicken breasts which I cleaned, sliced into strips and par boiled for 15 minutes, drained, and cooled for a few minutes. When the chicken is cool it will be very easy to shred with your fingers. I used a large skillet where I placed 1 Cup of Frank's Red hot which is what is used in Buffalo, NY at the Anchor Bar to make real Buffalo chicken wings. I also added a ½ stick of butter which is also a very common ingredient in the preparation of Buffalo chicken wings. While the chicken and Frank's is warming slowly, I mixed one cup of Blue cheese dressing and the cream cheese until smooth and placed it into the refrigerator until I was ready to make the dip. After the chicken and Frank's were good and warm I placed this into a plastic container for later use as well. This gets everything ready for the next day or for later in the day to just place it together and warm in the oven. When I was ready for the dip I pre-heated the oven to 350 placed the blue cheese mixture into the bottom of a 7x11" baking pan and layered the chicken onto the top of the blue cheese. I topped the whole thing with a small amount of shredded mozzarella / provolone cheese and po
This is sooo good!!! I cut the recipe in half and baked it in the oven for 20 min instead of the slow-cooker. Next time I'll try it with blue cheese dressing instead od ranch. Either way, you can't go wrong!

WERA in the News: XtraWest
WERA President, Christine Ackermann, is quoted in this March 4th XtraWest story about the West End Community Plan process:
"I think it's important to get involved and engaged with city planning for the West End," says West End Residents Association (WERA) president Christine Ackermann, who attended the session. "Housing, in particular, is such an important issue. It's good to have diversity at the table."
But Ackermann says she is aware of community concerns regarding the planning process.
"I have heard [from the community] that the process is very rushed," she says. "That doesn't mean that they're not doing a good job. It's just difficult with the timeline. Less time for a community means less outreach to the community."

Ana soared into the last eight at the ASB Classic with a 6-1, 6-1 victory over Sweden's world No.84 Johanna Larsson. Ana was ruthless and completed victory in just 43 minutes.
"I was really happy, I didn't do much wrong out there," Ana said.
"I came on court quite relaxed and expected a tough match because we'd had close matches in the past," she reflected, alluding to her defeat against Larsson at the 2011 French Open.
"I tried to be aggressive, step up and try to put pressure on her serve and also my first shots and I did that really well.
"I honestly didn't expect that and when I stepped on the court for the first few games I let my swing go and I felt good with my timing and rhythm.
Ana added: "I really love this place, I feel at home and very comfortable here."
"I have my family here and it does have a good vibe about it.
"It's my first time and already I hope that I get a chance to come back."
Ana will take on Japan's Kurumi Nara in the quarter-finals on Thursday. The match is scheduled as the second of the day and is expected to begin sometime after 1.30pm local time (1.30am Central European Time; 7.30pm Wednesday Eastern Time).
Ana has never before played the world No.81, who reached the last eight with a 6-0, 6-1 win over compatriot Ayumi Morita.
Ana will also be in doubles action, alongside Kirsten Flipkens, against the Czech-Dutch pairig of Lucie Hradecka and Michaella Krajicek.

Martin Lancelot Barre (born 17 November 1946, Kings Heath, Birmingham, West Midlands, England) is an English rock musician. Barre has been the guitarist for rock band Jethro Tull since 1969. He has appeared on every Jethro Tull album except their debut This Was. His sound has been marked by a blend of Jeff Beck and Eric Clapton style blues with the baroque complexities of early 1970s progressive rock and traditional European folk music sounds. He has also acted as a flautist both on-stage for Tull, and in his solo work.

Johnossi is a rock duo from Saltsjöbaden, Stockholm, Sweden, consisting of songwriter, singer, guitarist John Engelbert and drummer, percussionist, singer Oskar "Ossi" Bonde. Their music is characterized by a full guitar sound supported by Engelbert's unorthodox guitar rig and myriad effects pedals, and Bonde's straightforward beats; studio releases often feature colorful percussion accents on instruments such as tambourine, woodblock, guiro, and chimes. A variety of musical styles appear in their work, from hard rock, to blues riffs, post-punk, and even gloom-pop, though lyrical themes are almost uniformly personal and slightly angsty. They supported Green Day in Sweden on 5/6/2010 at Ullevi.

Holland Animation Film Festival - Utrecht - March 20-24 '13
16th Holland Animation Film Festival
March 20 – 24 2013, Utrecht, Netherlands
Animation highlights, from art-house to commercial, on Holland's biggest animation film festival
On Wednesday March 20 2013 the sixteenth edition of the Holland Animation Film Festival (HAFF) opens with the premiere of an everything but usual biopic, A Liar's Biography: The Untrue Story Of Monty Python's Graham Chapman.
A sound recording from 1980 on which Graham Chapman, one of the founders of the legendary Monty Python, explains his controversial memoirs. Fifteen different animation studios were used to animate his personal life, in which he moves from a disadvantaged neighborhood to stardom.
This film leads you through Chapman's eccentric life, from his experiences as a comedian to his many sexual adventures. The film shows some resemblance to the original Python in style and humor, but is also completely different, because the graphic artists clearly got the assignment to exceed even the absurdist Terry Gilliam in style.
Apart from Graham Chapman, who we hear as himself, John Cleese, Terry Gilliam, Terry Jones, Michael Palin, Philip Bulcock, Carol Cleveland, Cameron Diaz and Margarita Doyle contributed to this film.

The Croods closing film of Holland Animation Film Festival
On Sunday the 24th of March the 16th Holland Animation Film Festival will close with the première of the colorful 3D animation film The Croods. The latest production by DreamWorks Animation is directed by Kirk De Micco and Chris Sanders, known for the hit movie How To Train Your Dragon (2010). The Croods is the perfect closing film for the diverse festival and can be seen in theaters all over the country from the 27th of March.
The Croods tells the story of the world's first family road trip. When their cave is destroyed, the Crood family must embark on a comedy adventure into strange and spectacular territory in search of a new home. As if patriarch Grug (Nicolas Cage) didn't already have enough to handle, it goes from bad to worse when they encounter an imaginative nomad named Guy (Ryan Reynolds). With Guy's help the Croods conquer their fear of the outside world and discover that they have exactly what it takes to survive – each other.
This long-awaited movie is based on an original idea by John Cleese. The Croods features the voices of Nicolas Cage, Ryan Reynolds, Emma Stone, Catherine Keener, Clark Duke and Cloris Leachman.

How should 'Duck Dynasty' move forward?
It's chaotic in the reality TV show, and not because some character grabbed an alligator by the tail or stepped in a fire ant mound. As Yahoo! TV reported, a backlash has even erupted against some of those who criticized Phil Robertson for his remarks. "In the fallout over Wednesday's suspension of 'Duck Dynasty' star […] [Read More]

In Wednesday's press briefing, Press Secretary Jay Carney offered few answers, deferring to the Justice Department.
With some prodding about how the White House would like to see the Justice Department's resources prioritized, Carney took a moment to underscore that the president does view Colorado's new law differently than he views medical pot.
"What the president has said is that we're not going to prioritize prosecutions of people with cancer or other serious illnesses," Carney said. "The president never made a commitment to give carte blanche to large-scale producers and sellers of marijuana. And while the president has asked the Department of Justice to use prosecutorial discretion to best prioritize law enforcement resources, he cannot nullify congressional law."
Amendment 64 supporters say they don't want President Obama to "nullify" the Controlled Substances act, but they do want him to call off the dogs.
"Frankly in other areas the president has ignored federal law," Josh Kappel, with Sensible Colorado, said. "He doesn't nullify it, but he just ignores it."
Kappel points to the president's decision not to import some illegal immigrants who came to the United States as children, and his decision to stop enforcing the Defense of Marriage Act (DOMA) which was aimed at keeping same-sex marriages from being recognized.
If the Justice Department doesn't take a hands-off approach, the marijuana industry worries the administration could sue to block Colorado's law.
It's not entirely clear what that might look like, but marijuana supporters say even if federal law were to win in court, it wouldn't compel Colorado to enforce federal law.
"The truth is the federal government can't force the state of Colorado to criminalize anyone," Kappel said.
Gov. John Hickenlooper (D-Colo) is still awaiting a response from US Attorney General Eric Holder, but is putting together a task force to look at the issues raised by the passage of Amendment 64.

Team 2012-13: Vanoli Cremona (Italy-Lega)
Career: Virtus Bologna (Italy-Lega, 2002-03); Montepaschi Siena (Italy-Lega, 2003-04); Virtus 34 Bologna (Italy-DNA, 2004-05); Premiata Montegranaro (Italy-Lega, 2005-08); Armani Milano (Italy-Lega, 2008-09); Lottomatica Roma (Italy-Lega, 2009-11); Virtus Bologna (Italy-Lega, 2011-12); Vanoli Cremona (Italy-Lega, 2012-13); Umana Venezia (Italy-Lega, 2013)
After some difficult seasons, Luca Vitali expressed his huge potential in Cremona, where he was able to use his passing skills beside some good scoring consistency and three-point accuracy (45% throughout the season). Vitali earned his confidence back, and he could be able to bring some unique features: he is Italy's tallest point guard, and his ability on pick-and-roll situations can help the offence. Moreover, Vitali is a true point-guard because of leadership, experience and personality and he is never afraid to take the most important responsibilities. But thanks to his size and his wingspan, Vitali can be a versatile defender too, as he can also match up against forwards. Simone Pianigiani (who coached Vitali in Siena junior teams) knows he can rely on Vitali in several roles and situations. Last summer - during the EuroBasket Qualification Round - Vitali adjusted and played his rotation minutes as a forward.


text: Communication & Film Studies overview faculty program organizations internships Internships Communication and film studies majors and minors have worked as interns in radio, television, advertising, public relations and journalism, for companies and organizations such as ESPN, The American Cancer Society, Eric Mower & Associates, WSTM-TV and the New York Mets. Through those and many other internships, students have gained practical, on-the-job training that has prepared them for work after graduation. If you would like an internship, the first step is to take the appropriate courses. For instance, if you want a newspaper internship, you should have taken a journalism course; if you are looking for a production internship, you should have taken a studio operations course. Some internships, however, may have more specific prerequisites, and you should find out by consulting with the communications program's internship director, Professor Leslie Bailey Streissguth. You may take up to three three-credit internships. During your internship, you will be expected to devote 10 hours each week to the agency for which you are working. You must also keep a detailed journal of your activities, as well as meet occasionally with the internship director to have that journal reviewed and to discuss your interning experience. The internship director assigns you a grade for your internship based on your journal, individual conferences and an evaluation from the agency for which you worked. This is a pass/fail course. 10 Easy Steps to an Internship The database for internship possibilities is Le Moyne LEADS. Look through the listings on Le Moyne LEADS to find several internship sites that interest you. In addition, you should feel free to pursue a communication internship that is not listed on the site. We ask only that you secure Professor Leslie Bailey Streissguth's approval before committing to it. Please provide her with a description of your duties and a contact person at the job site (contact information is needed, as well). Make a priority list of those internships you have selected. Take note of the contact information for each and call or send an email the site supervisor with a request for an interview. If you need assistance or advice on selecting an internship, or on how to approach a site supervisor, contact Professor Leslie Bailey Streissguth at firstname.lastname@example.com. Once you secure an interview ask if there are any documents you need to bring with you to the interview (for example, a résumé, writing samples, etc.) When you secure an internship, contact Professor L. Streissguth so that she can release you to register for CMM 490,491, or 492. You have until the last day of the drop- add period in the new semester to secure your internship. Remember, you can take up to three different internships for credit during your time here at Le Moyne. You can talk with Professor Leslie Bailey Streissguth about this, as well. Obtain a copy of the Internship Guidelines and Requirements document from Prof. Leslie Bailey Streissguth. This will list the academic requirements you must meet in order to receive internship credit. If you have any questions don't hesitate ask for clarification. Discuss the internship requirements and your work schedule with your site supervisor. Most internship site supervisors will work your internship hours around your class schedule. Your internship should begin the first or second week of the spring semester in order to complete the 140 hours required. Enjoy this experience. It will lead to an understanding of the workplace culture. It will help you to improve in the skills of your profession. It will establish a network of contacts that will prove valuable to you when you graduate. It may even lead to a job! Graduates of Le Moyne College's Communication program have found positions in a variety of organizations, including: ABC Aids Community Awareness American Cancer Society Annese and Associates AT&T Audubon Naturalist Society Baltimore Business Journal Black Entertainment Television Carrier Corporation CBS Christian Science Monitor Chronicle of Higher Education Cox Broadcasting Crain Communications Dow Jones and Company Edelman Public Relations Worldwide Eric Mower and Associates Ernst and Young ESPN Fox Television Grey Advertising Hill and Knowlton Hutchins, Young and Rubicam Kansas City Chiefs Mark Russell and Associates MGM National Geographic Society New York Mets Niagara Mohawk Power Corporation Nickelodeon Ogilvy Public Relations Porter-Novelli Proctor & Gamble Syracuse Post-Standard The Catholic Sun TV Guide U.S. Department of Education Warne-McKenna Advertising Warner Bros.

City Studies: L.A. vs. Small Business
L.A. vs. Small Business
|This book is also available on Kindle
|View all of IJ's City Studies on Entrepreneurship
Los Angeles has a reputation as a city where big dreams can come true—where you can not only get ahead, but make your fortune, as well. Although that reputation may be deserved with respect to actors, athletes and celebutantes, it holds little truth for the overwhelming majority of folks who are just trying to earn an honest living and support their families as entrepreneurs.
|"It does not take an 'economy chief' to see what the problem is: Los Angeles entrepreneurs are being strangled by red tape—unreasonable and arbitrary government regulation."
The situation is so dire for Los Angeles entrepreneurs that in January 2010, Mayor Antonio Villaraigosa created a new, high-level position within city government to foster economic opportunity: Chief Executive for Economic and Business Policy (or "economy chief," as the local press has dubbed the position). Although Mayor Villaraigosa should be applauded for recognizing that a problem exists, it does not take an "economy chief" to see what the problem is: Los Angeles entrepreneurs are being strangled by red tape—unreasonable and arbitrary government regulation.
This report highlights just a few of the regulatory barriers that hardworking Angelenos face every day in trying to launch, run or expand a business. Many of the obstacles are created by the city itself; others, by county or state government. Regardless of their source, however, these barriers make it difficult, if not impossible, for entrepreneurs to earn an honest living in the City of Angels. Read More...

Bucs fall in overtime heartbreaker to 4th ranked UNC, 2-1
Requires Adobe Flash
Aaron Schoenfeld
Sunday, October 31, 2010
JOHNSON CITY, Tenn. (Oct. 30, 2010)
- An overtime goal by North Carolina's Enzo Martinez was the difference as the ETSU men's soccer team dropped an overtime heartbreaker to No. 4 UNC in front of a record crowd of 1,350 Saturday night at Summers-Taylor Stadium.
"I am proud of the effort our players gave tonight," said head coach
Scott Calabrese
. "We conceded an early goal, but we never gave up. The team fought its way back into the game, and Aaron Schoenfeld and Theo Yang linked up to score a great goal to level the match."
The loss ends an 11-game home win streak for the Bucs (12-5-0, 7-2-0 A-Sun). The Tar Heels (13-2-1, 6-0-1 ACC) edged out ETSU in shots 12-11 putting seven on goal, while UNC had a 5-2 advantage in corners.
"The crowd was fantastic tonight, and on behalf of the players and the staff I want to thank all those who came out to support us tonight," Calabrese added.
UNC grabbed a 1-0 lead in the 13
minute when Kirk Urso sent a cross from Martinez past an ETSU defender and into the side of the net.
The score remained 1-0 at the half as the Buccaneers outshot the Tar Heels 5-2 in the period but could not net an equalizer.
In the second half, North Carolina picked up its offensive intensity as keeper
Ronnie Hreha
(Asheville, N.C.) had to step up and made a couple big stops to keep ETSU in the contest.
Aaron Schoenfeld
(Knoxville, Tenn.) gave the Buccaneers the equalizer in the 88
minute as sophomore
Theo Yang
(Lilburn, Ga.) played a ball back to Schoenfeld who one-timed a shot past UNC's Scott Goodwin to level the game at 1-all.
The Bucs were forced to go a man down in the 90
minute as junior
Jaron Westbrook
(Round Rock. Texas) picked up his second yellow of the contest on a foul outside the penalty area, but neither team was able to net a game-winner in the final minute of regulation as the game went into overtime.
In the first overtime period, Carolina's Jordan Gafa played a long ball to an open Martinez who then slotted a ball on the ground past Hreha into the goal for the game-winner in the 94
ETSU is set to close out the regular season on Tuesday at 7 p.m. as they head to Boone, N.C. to face Appalachian State. For more information on ETSU men's soccer and all other Buccaneer athletic news please visit www.ETSUBucs.com.

The Rays participate in many educational programs in our community -- and in a variety of ways, including volunteering, donations and recognizing hard-working Bay Area students.
Breaking Barriers: In Sports, In Life is a baseball themed program that gives kids strategies to overcome obstacles in their lives developed by Major League Baseball and Scholastic Inc.
Using America's sport, baseball, as the metaphor for life, the curriculum is based on the values demonstrated by barrier breaker, Jackie Robinson: Determination, Commitment, Persistence, Integrity, Justice, Courage, Teamwork, Citizenship, and Excellence.
A major component of the program is the Breaking Barriers Essay Contest, which encourages children to write about barriers or obstacles they have faced or are still facing in their lives and how they used the values exemplified by Jackie Robinson to deal with those barriers or obstacles.
Peter Hanhan, a 9th grade student from Bloomingdale High School in Valrico, FL. Peter's essay highlighted courage, one of Jackie Robinson's core values, and was chosen as one of 10 finalists from thousands of essays nationwide.
Peter was recognized for his accomplishments prior to a game at Tropicana Field and was accompanied by Jackie Robinson's daughter, Sharon Robinson.

William Kuhn on 'Mrs. Queen Takes the Train'
Boston-based author William Kuhn took the lectern in the ground floor level events room at the Boston Athenæum recently to deliver a talk and reading from his first novel, "Mrs. Queen Takes the Train." It was an appropriate venue, and an appreciative audience; the Athenæum is one of the nation's finest, and oldest, private libraries, located only two blocks from the Massachusetts State House.
Kuhn regaled his audience with the story of how he came to write his debut novel, which follows the publication of several well-regarded non-fiction books. Among Kuhn's corpus of work: "Henry and Mary Ponsonby," a biographical volume about two courtiers in the court of Queen Victoria, and "The Politics of Pleasure," a biography of Benjamin Disraeli, whom Kuhn has noted was "Britain's most royalist Prime Minister, and "Democratic Royalism." The Disraeli book charts the transformation of British politics to its modern form.
Kuhn has also written about American royalty in his unusually themed biography of Jacqueline Kennedy Onassis; "Reading Jackie" is a look at the former First Lady through the books in her life, both the books she read and collected for her personal library and the books she commissioned and edited for publishing houses Viking and Doubleday.
Gaining Admittance
Kuhn recalled for his audience how the seeds for his first novel were planted even as he was researching the Ponsonbys at the royal archives at Windsor Castle. Gaining access to the archives was not an overnight process; it entailed surmounting what Kuhn called "the stiffest letter I've ever received" in response to his request to access the archive's materials. By stiffest, Kuhn meant both the paper on which the missive was written, and its tone; the letter's content was arch and, to American ears, more than slightly condescending.
All the same, Kuhn eventually made his way into the archive, where he was pleased to find the staff were warm and personable. At one point, Prince Edward even showed up to do a bit of research relating to a film he was helping produce; the prince "washed his own cup" at teatime, Kuhn recollected.
The young writer soon notice that it wasn't just the staff of the archives that were ordinary people working in an extraordinary setting. He had the chance, here and again, to observe ladies in waiting and others belonging to the Queen's household. Rather than riding in limousines, the ladies in waiting "drove dented economy cars," Kuhn recalled. This got him to wondering: Who were these people, many of them from good families with diminished resources, who helped to run the royal family's daily lives and the residences in which they took place?
"I was, of course, fascinated by the papers they were showing me about Queen Victoria, and the questions I was asking about the 19th century monarchy," Kuhn told me during an interview that took place in one of the Athenaeum's meeting rooms, a large chamber with an imposing, polished table and comfortable chairs. "But all around me there was an unusual life going on" as contemporary people clocked in each day for work in a place, and a social system, rooted in an earlier time.
Other seeds were planted in the form of the security guard, attired in an archaic red uniform, who initially intimidated the writer but who eventually gained enough of a familiarity with him to ask Kuhn to sponsor him on his "Fun Run" for charity.
"They were human beings just like you'd meet anywhere else, which shouldn't have come as a surprise, but it did," Kuhn recollected. "Here was this human life underneath the surface of all these traditional uniforms, this highly ritualized life, and the Queen sometimes being in residence at Windsor Castle. I was fascinated at modern life going on in the midst of this antique institution."
Never Too Late for Adventure
Years later, the story has crystallized and become Kuhn's new book, a sprightly tale that finds a somewhat depressed Queen Elizabeth inadvertently taking leave of Buckingham Palace and deciding, off the cuff, to hop a train to Scotland, where her beloved yacht, the Britannia, is moored.
EDGE tells Kuhn that his new novel is reminiscent of "Mrs. 'Arris Goes to Paris," a 1958 Paul Gallico romp in which an elderly char woman leaves her humble home in London and heads off to Paris to buy a Dior gown. In this case, the social status of the main character is quite different, but the idea of venturing outside one's usual confines and habits is much the same.
"I think the story we can identify with more easily is the humble person being in very grand circumstances, like that episode of "I Love Lucy" where Lucy and Ethel go into this fancy dress shop in Hollywood," Kuhn mulled. "Lucy gets her hand caught inside the sleeve of some expensive dress looking for a price tag that isn't there.
"I thought it would be find to imagine the reverse: Just like Marie Antoinette used to fantasize about being a shepherd, I wonder if the Queen ever fantasizes about being on a public bus or train. I think we all dream about some life that is very foreign from ours, and being on a public train has got to be foreign for the Queen of England.
"It's about her being in a foreign setting," Kuhn continued, "but it's also about the people who work for her, living in modern Britain, which in many ways is as egalitarian as we are, especially in their politics.
"What do contemporary people make of working in that system, which still has vestiges of a mediaeval social order where you bow to the Queen just like you bow to the host inside a church? Who else to do you bow to, except maybe the Pope? And a lot of British people won't do it any more."

"My mom and I always enjoyed preparing this recipe together during the holidays."

eggs, beaten
2 cups
white sugar
2 quarts
1 pinch
Classic custard cream recipe. If you want it thicker the trick is to use 3 tablespoons of flour or starch per liter of milk. Stir that into the egg/sugar mixture well so no clumps are left. Also, instead of whole eggs use egg yokes, make the custard as usual, then wait to cool to room temp and add the cooled cream slowly, while beating, to hard beaten egg whites (so they look like whipped cream). Beating the egg whites separately will give the cream more texture and thickness.
This custard is too thin and bland
17 Ratings
Super simple and delicious added vanilla and put on direct heat since the double boiler wasn't working for me and that did the trick just stirred continuously until it was the right consistency
I liked the fact that it was just simple ingredients although i added vanilla. Not overadorned with cluttery extras!
Easy to make.
I read the reviews and decided to exchange:
Milk - I used a can of Carnation evaporated milk
Sugar - I used a can of Eagle Brand condensed milk and added vanilla.
It tasted like a light Creme Brulee.
Perfect boiled custard! FYI, this is SUPPOSED TO BE thinner than pudding (hence custard and NOT pudding) as you can either eat it plain or my favorite way: pour it over cake, ice cream, fruit, pie, etc...just wonderful!
Being pregnant in the summer and craving boiled custard of all things made me try this recipe. I didn't want to make the full 12 servings, in case it wasn't that good...no offense Angela...so the only thing I altered with this recipe was the serving size to 4. After about 30 minutes of stirring, the custard finally started thickening up. Looked like boiled custard...smelled like boiled custard...but when I tasted it, the egg was the only flavor to really come through. I didn't feel like finishing off the egg shake I had made so I'll just wait until November 1st...when my local grocery store says they will carry it.
I made this recipe for 7 (because that came out to 3 eggs). I used 2/3 cup of turbinado (raw) sugar instead of the 1C and 3 TBS white sugar it called for and I would still cut that in half. Of the 4 & 2/3C milk, I used 2C Rice milk, 1 can evaporated, and the rest heavy/whipping cream. I also added a splash each of vanilla and almond extracts. I'm pretty sure I cooked it too long because it started to get little bits in it. It stayed thinner than spoonable, though the recipe does not specify if this is like the drink called boiled custard you find in The South around the holidays or the kind you eat with a spoon. All in all I think it was pretty darn good considering all the changes I made and the over cooking. Great taste, and it freezes VERY nicely!!! Like really good ice cream!

Team 2012-13: Budivelnik Kyiv (Ukraine-Superleague) Career: Autodorozhnik Saratov (Russia, 1999- 00); Pau Orthez (France-Pro A, 2000-06), BC Kyiv (Ukraine-Superleague, 2006-09); BC Donetsk (Ukraine-Superleague, 2009); BC Budivelnik Kyiv (Ukraine-Superleague, 2009-10); Vanoli Cremona (Italy- Lega, 2010-11); Azovmash Mariupol (Ukraine-Superleague, 2011-12); Budivelnik Kyiv (Ukraine-Superleague, 2012-13)
Artur Drozdov is Ukraine's most versatile player, who will bring his veteran experience and leadership to Slovenia. During last season's championship run with Budivelnik, Drozdov played the most minutes on the team (almost 30) and had the second highest efficiency rating (14.8 per-game) among all the players on Mike Fratello's team, taking into account all club competitions. After falling short in the SuperLeague finals and ending up with silver medals in 2010 and 2012, Drozdov finally won the Ukrainian championship last May, helping Budivelnik in their 53 games with 10.7 points, 5.8 rebounds and 2.3 assists-per-contest. Drozdov is a true team captain with perhaps the highest basketball IQ on the roster and while stats do not always reflect his level of productivity, the amount of work the forward does is phenomenal. Expect Artur to be Ukraine's starting forward, who now has a chance to achieve something big on international level.
