Benefit to Community and/or Science
Background ResearchJohn Ridley Stroop invented the stroop effect in the 1930s. He discovered that reading words sends a message to the brain. This message is difficult to suppress.When the message is combined with another message that is conflicting, like the color of the word, it interferes with the processing causing an incorrect or delayed response. In short, Stroop effect is a demonstration of interference in the reaction time of a task.

Collaborative application of empirical criteria for selecting high-quality fleeces: Tzotzil shepherdesses and sheep scientists work together to develop tools for genetic improvement
Animal genetics, clothing, domestic animals, income generation, quality standards, rural women, sheep, team work, weaving, wool
Introducing the practice
This practice was developed in the mountains of Chiapas, in Southern Mexico. A number of different ethnic groups live in this region, each one with its own culture, language, and traditions. The Tzotzils are one of these. Their livelihood strategies depend largely on agriculture: maize and beans are the main crops, and sheep production provides wool for weaving and manure to fertilize the cropland.
Sheep husbandry among the Tzotzils is the exclusive responsibility of women, and it accounts for up to 36% of family income. Most traditional clothing is made of wool and produced within the household, which means little expenditure on clothes. Fleeces, garments and woollen crafts are regularly taken to the local markets. Besides, sheep can be sold when cash is needed urgently.
The small family flocks (ten sheep) are very important for the Tzotzils, and many conventional interventions have tried to improve living standards through sheep production strategies. In the last 25 years, various exotic sheep breeds producing high-quality wool have been introduced in the area, along with modern husbandry techniques. They were not successful. Government authorities failed to acknowledge the strong link between the Tzotzil culture and the husbandry of their sacred sheep, and also the differences in wool quality standards. Likewise, extension workers have not appreciated either the local sheep or the traditional management practices developed by endless generations of illiterate yet expert shepherdesses.
The best practice described here
involves the collaborative application of criteria for judging the quality of
fleece. This takes place every six months at the University of Chiapass sheep
farm. The practice began in 1995 as a wool-grading exercise with local
shepherdesses and weavers; its aim was to help the sheep scientists to identify
the local criteria for high-quality fleeces. It has evolved into an
interactive and participatory methodology that is now integrated into the
programme to genetically improve local Chiapas sheep through selection.
Prior to the semi-annual shearing of the flock, groups of Tzotzil women apply their own local criteria and empirical methods to assess fleece quality. Their tacto-visual approach subjectively assesses fleece in terms of its volume, staple length, looseness of staples, textile aptitude, softness, colour and cleanness. Sheep scientists translate the womens key words and the results of their tacto-visual appraisals into a fleece quality grade from 1 (poor) to 4 (excellent). The women have established staple length as the most important factor, and have developed a complex measuring system that defines eight different sizes on the basis of finger lengths and widths. The textile aptitude of the fleece determines whether, when spun into yarn for the traditional weaving process, a fleece is best suited for the weft or the warp.
The various elements of the tacto-visual appraisal are closely related to objective parameters of fleece production. The subjective assessment of staple length correlates significantly with its metric-system equivalent, and textile aptitude indicates the proportion of fleece fibres that are long and coarse. The compounded grade given for fleece quality correlates significantly with staple length, greasy fleece weight, body weight and wool growth. An index for high quality fleeces as judged by local standards is now used as a selection tool.
This collaborative fleece-grading system has been standardized over time. It has been in use since 1995 and has evolved into an efficient and reliable method of improving local sheep through selection. Womens participation has ensured the establishment of culturally appropriate fleece-quality standards. It has also directed efforts to produce high-yielding, environmentally adapted sheep that Tzotzil women identify as members of the respected local breed which they call batsi chij (the true sheep).
The collaborative system has also served to identify and discard certain objective parameters of wool production and fleece quality that were redundant. This has made the selection programme more efficient.
Content and approach
The methodology for assessing and
grading fleece quality represents a blend of the traditional knowledge possessed
by illiterate Tzotzil shepherdesses and weavers with the tools for genetic
improvement used by sheep scientists. Countless generations of Tzotzil women
developed empirical fleece-quality criteria to meet their textile needs, as well
as adequate assessment methods. Sheep scientists have adopted these elements and
translated them into genetic selection tools to produce animals with fleeces
that are of high quality by local standards.
The purpose of the practice is to:
· Ensure technical success by using local animals and traditional husbandry systems.
· Incorporate the expertise and traditional knowledge of local peoples (fleece-quality standards) into tangible assets (culturally acceptable selection methods).
· Learn from the experts.
· Promote bottom-up approaches.
· Preserve and improve the local species of wool-producing sheep.
Re-value empirical technologies.
Groups of Tzotzil women from different
villages are collaborating in the fleece-grading exercises with sheep scientists
from the University of Chiapas. As the programme progresses, more and more
Tzotzil shepherdesses will be able to obtain a superior animal of the local
breed which not only produces the type of wool required for the local textile
process, but also passes its genes on to following generations. Tzotzil
interpreters and facilitators also participated in the project. In the near
future, extension workers will have to be involved as well.
Groups of Tzotzil women are invited to
the fleece-grading exercises. They come from different villages. Animals in the
universitys flock are allocated to different sheds, in groups of about 25
sheep. The best sheep in each group is selected visually as the animals move
around (based on an estimate of its fleece volume). The animal is removed from
the group and tacto-visual appraisal begins. By gently handling the fleece, the
Tzotzil women estimate staple looseness, a desired trait. Staple length is
determined using the empirical system of finger lengths and widths. Textile
aptitude of the fleece is assessed according to the relative amount of long/coarse
fibres and short/fine fibres. Secondary parameters are also considered, such as
a relative lack of kemp fibres, the colour of the wool, and the cleanness of the
fleece. The scientists then translate all these elements into a compounded
fleece-quality grade.
At the farm, additional technical information is obtained: greasy fleece weight, body weight, wool growth, and proportion of fibres. A selection index based on the Tzotzil criteria for high-quality fleeces is used to identify the best animals on the university farm. The top 15% of rams are left on the farm as replacements, and the rest of the rams with scores of good and excellent are identified as superior rams suitable for introduction into village flocks.
The role of indigenous knowledge
The collaborative effort guarantees that
the improvement programme is producing exactly what the Tzotzil shepherdesses
and weavers need. Animals will have fleeces of the highest local standards. If
top-down approaches were used, industrial standards of short, white and fine
wool would be applied, exactly the opposite to the Tzotzil standards for high
quality fleeces, which call for long staples of coarse, black fibres.
Chiapas sheep, the local breed, is a
highly respected animal. In Tzotzil culture sheep are sacred; they are never
killed or eaten, and they are given names and considered to be the ritual
children of women. No other animal occupies the place in Tzotzil culture and
society that the sheep does.
Sheep are the exclusive responsibility
of Tzotzil women. Wool is processed using ancient techniques and then woven and
sewn into traditional clothing for the whole family. Black skirts, shawls and
coats predominate among the Tzotzils, and black sheep are highly regarded,
although wool requirements for the traditional white jackets and brown
ceremonial blouses give animals of these colours an important place too.
Empirical selection of animals over the last 500 years has resulted in an
adapted animal producing the type of raw material that can be processed using
the traditional weaving technologies of spinning with a wooden spindle and
weaving in a back-strap loom. Using the highly appreciated local breed and the
locally developed fleece-quality criteria gives the collaborative grading
exercises the cultural value they deserve.
transfer of knowledge
Most Tzotzil women (70% of more than
15,000 households) have their own small flock of Chiapas sheep. They all know a
lot about sheep husbandry and weaving. But what is being developed jointly with
the sheep scientists is a blended product that puts together the best of
traditional and scientific knowledge in the area of fleece improvement.
In the Tzotzil villages, most women are
illiterate and do not speak the official language (Spanish). What they do as
shepherdesses and weavers is something they have learned orally from their
mothers and grandmothers and through the everyday contacts associated with their
domestic responsibilities. Knowledge and practices are shared outside the
household through social networks and informal communication within and between
Tzotzil villages.
Written materials about sheep husbandry are generally rare. In the Tzotzil language they are non-existent. Various ethnographic studies do, however, describe the Tzotzil livelihoods. The traditional sheep husbandry system has been studied using an ethnoveterinary approach.
Achievements and results
Collaboration to achieve a selection
index for a genetic programme designed to produce sheep that meet local
standards is a best practice because it recognizes and values the traditional
knowledge of Tzotzil women. Local standards for fleece quality are given top
priority. The practice validates indigenous technical knowledge and gives it the
same weight as scientific technical knowledge. It is incorporated into a
development effort as an essential element.
The interaction between Tzotzil women
and sheep scientists has resulted in convenient methods for genetic improvement.
At least 36 women from 10 different Tzotzil villages have collaborated regularly
in the application of fleece-quality criteria. In the last two years, no fewer
than 130 superior rams have been introduced into village flocks. Many Tzotzil
women from the villages are requesting information about how to buy or borrow
one of these animals. A nucleus flock of 400 sheep is currently being monitored
using this inter-ethnic approach.
The practice is sustainable, cost-effective and locally manageable.
· It is sustainable because the superior rams are more productive as a result of their superior genes, and not because they are heavier or larger, thus requiring proportionately larger amounts of food.
· It is cost-effective because no additional inputs are necessary and the traditional management system does not need to be modified in any way for these animals to perform as superior breeders. More wool and fleeces of higher quality mean that better clothing can be woven, and that better handicrafts can be sold. This has a direct impact on livelihoods.
It is locally manageable because Tzotzil
shepherdesses recognize these superior animals as members of the respected and
appreciated local breed of true sheep. The animals are perfectly adapted
to the environment and maintain their hardiness.
weaknesses and requirements for the future
The practice has a number of strong
points. It ensures that improvement of the local breed through selection results
in an end product (high-quality fleeces) that meets all the demands of the
shepherdesses and weavers who are supposed to benefit from any intervention
involving sheep-production strategies. The interaction between experienced women
and new shepherdesses that takes place during the grading exercises facilitates
the transfer of indigenous knowledge. The grading exercises are a dynamic and
interactive process through which quality criteria are established and modified
according to the local requirements for raw material for weaving. The Tzotzil
women are the experts, and the sheep scientists are the apprentices. Together
they act in synergy to design and develop genetic selection methods.
One problem has been that fleece graders
who take part for the first time find it difficult in the beginning to assume
their role as experts, and to interact openly and on the same level with sheep
scientists. Another problem is that sheep numbers at the university farm are
still low.
The practice will have accomplished a social objective when the blended outcomes in the form of selection indices and genetic methods can be taken back to the villages and applied by the Tzotzil women to their own flocks. Extension strategies will have to be developed to make this blended knowledge available to all Tzotzil shepherdesses. These strategies will have to take into account the facts that very few of them can read and they have been accustomed to the more common top-down approaches.
Source of inspiration
It would be fairly easy to transfer the methodology of the practice to other marginal, indigenous, sheep-related economies located in high mountains and associated with hand-processed fleeces.
However, more important than the
practice itself is the overall concept that traditional knowledge which has been
developed locally to solve specific problems has to be analysed, validated and
applied, after being blended with scientific knowledge if necessary. The
holistic analysis and enrichment of traditional knowledge is not just possible,
but should be a pre-requisite when development interventions are being
Adaptations should derive from the
particular needs, practices, beliefs and culture of the people whose traditional
knowledge is being used as the basis for development. There is of course no
universal recipe for successful interventions, but before any interventions are
designed and applied, there should be a commitment to understanding the cultural
and socio-economic context of the area, the people, and their livelihoods and

Additional remarks and information
The programme for the genetic
improvement of Chiapas sheep has been evolving for the last ten years. It began
with an analysis of the characteristics of Chiapas sheep, the native breed. An
open-nucleus breeding scheme has been used to improve wool production and fleece
quality. The University of Chiapas sheep farm maintains the nucleus flock under
traditional management, with wooden shelters and extensive grazing on native
pastures. Use of feeding concentrates is restricted, and maize stover
supplements constitute the feed during the dry season.
Several articles published in
social-science and technical journals describe the approach and implications of
the genetic improvement programme based on collaboration with local experts.

FOR SEVERAL decades, attempts have been made to use total-body radiation as a form of cancer therapy. Originally, low-energy x-rays were used, as well as radium, which was administered both as an external and an internal radiation source.1-3 Since the invention of the cyclotron, and later, the development of the nuclear reactor, artificial radionuclides have been available for this type of therapy, and the reports of therapeutic applications of the internally administered radionuclides P32, Na24, K42,I131, Au198, and others, are too numerous to list as references.
Until fairly recently, there were many limitations to the use of high-energy rays in delivering a uniform dose of total-body radiation. Thirty years ago, Heublein1 reported the design and use of a radiation room in which patients were "bathed" with moderately energetic x-rays from a distantly placed radiation therapy unit. Within the past 15 years,

New Mexico scaling back marijuana program changes
ALBUQUERQUE, N.M. (AP) — Gov. Susana Martinez's administration is scaling back possible changes for New Mexico's medical marijuana program.
A state Department of Health official told legislators during a Thursday hearing in Taos Pueblo that the agency will scrap two proposals that had come under fire from pot producers and users, the Albuquerque Journal (http://bit.ly/1jEW04U ) reported.
One would have instituted criminal background checks for patients approved to grow their own marijuana. The other would reduce the number of marijuana plants allowed for personal consumption.
[auth] Patients now can grow up to four plants and 12 seedlings. The proposed change would have allowed two plants and six seedlings.
Meanwhile, the department also plans to change a proposed fee structure for licensed producers, and is considering whether to move ahead with a new $50 annual fee for renewal of users' registry cards.
A medical marijuana advocate applauded the scrapping of the two proposals, which she said would have made it more difficult to obtain marijuana.
"We are pleased to see they are coming to their senses on the proposed changes," said Emily Kaltenbach, the director of the New Mexico Drug Policy Alliance.
Department spokesman Kenny Vigil said the department is making the changes based on public comment. "The department takes the feedback it receives very seriously and will continue to review it," he said.
The department will make a final decision on its remaining proposals after it receives a hearing officer's report, Vigil said.
Sen. Gerald Ortiz y Pino, D-Albuquerque, the vice chairman of the Legislative Health and Human Services Committee, said he was encouraged by Health Department officials' receptiveness to public feedback.
The proposed changes to the medical marijuana program were unveiled by the Health Department in February after an internal survey found the program was struggling to supply a growing number of patients. They include changes in fees, testing and plant limits.
New Mexico's medical pot program was created in 2007. More than 11,000 people are enrolled, according to the department.

So you want to get into running? You have made a great choice. While there are more similar activities that you can get involved in to get fit and healthy, running is one of the handier options as it is something that you can do wherever you go, anytime. And while it isn't for everyone either, there are lots of good benefits to be had from running regularly.
Here's a brief primer on everything running. Get familiarized with the fundamentals of the hobby from running attire, to setting your program pace suitably.
Getting Started on Running
One of the first things that you will need to to settle inside yourself is the reason you need to start running. To be able to achieve the results that you desire out of the activity, you'll need to know why you want to get involved in it first so as to set a long term goal for yourself. It actually makes a difference when you know why you're doing what you do, and you know definitely what you are working at. Whether it's to lose weight, get more fit or feel happier about yourself, identify your final goal and set it in your mind.
Once you have that goal in place , the next thing you need to do is to get ready for the actual running. Step 1 toward doing that is to get geared up for the activity. Running comprises donning certain clothes that can help you maximise your running sessions and hinder you from annoying discomforts or injuries. It can not be stressed enough how vital it is to wear the right running gear, from the attire to your selection of shoes. This spells the difference between a productive running session and one that leads to an injury or a sprain.
The Real deal on Correct Running Gear
So how then do you go about choosing the proper running gear for you? The first stop certainly would be your shoes. Running involves a large amount of footwork, and so wearing the wrong shoes can bring you take a fall or have a sprain while running. There really are shoes that are especially designed for running, so it is very important to go to speciality stores and sports shops that have these in stock. Ask about the running shoes that they offer. Since it is your first time, it may be sensible to stick to more popular brands that are known for their running shoes line, such as Adidas and Nike.
Make sure that you fit your shoes and walk or jog around in them before buying them. The way that they fit your feet whilst standing or sitting still may be different from how they'll mold themselves around your feet during movement, and that's the more important part. You'll need to find out how they're going to feel while you are moving around. And regardless of if you are only able to do a little bit of this for a short period in the store, make sure that you give it a couple of minutes ' trial. This'll help you get a feel of the shoes and if it appears cushty enough for running.
Even if you already know your shoe size, be open to the possibility that you may feel more comfortable in the size next to it for running purposes. Therefore, when you do try on your running shoes, try the next sizes to it just for comparison purposes. You might find that the next size may be more conducive for the activity that you're going to be engaging in as well.
That's it for the shoes, now once you have invested in a great pair of jogging shoes, the next things that you are going to have to get are your running clothing. A good running wardrobe is essential to anyone that comes to a decision to make running a daily or regular activity. You need clothes that are comfortable on you, yet will not impede your speed or your movement while running. Again, there are certain types of clothes that cater to runners, and these are the pieces that you'll wish to spend some money on.
If you do not have the budget to invest in professional running attire, then you can decide to wear a simple t-shirt and shorts. Nonetheless make sure that they are going to allow you to move around freely and comfy. Don't decide to wear loose shorts, as this can affect your speed and ease of movement. Similarly, don't wear a snug top, as this will prove to be uncomfortable for you. Ensure that the attire you pick provide you room to breathe, while at the same time, permit you to run at the speed you need without feeling constricted by what you are wearing.
Setting Up A Personal Running Programme
Now comes the most critical part, creating for yourself a running programme that will help you in achieving your precise goals. Again, it's really important that prior to getting to this part, you have just established your objectives for running. The reason behind running will then define the pattern of your running program, as you will need it to target that specific goal of yours.
Since this is your very first time to run, it will help if you start in baby steps to get you warmed-up for the activity. You can begin your running programme with brisk 10-minute runs around a particular area to get you moving, then alternate 30 seconds of running with 30 seconds of brisk walking to set your pace. You can do this three times per week (running everyday is not strongly recommended, especially for a first time runner as this can not maximize your strength and condition) to begin with. Do not forget to watch your pace, a sign that you're not pacing yourself properly is if you can't even talk or converse whilst moving. This means that you are wearing yourself out too quickly, far earlier than your body is actually capable of. If you experience this, slow done and let your body adjust to the pace first. Something that would help you in controlling this is a heart rate monitor watch, it will help you to measure your pulse rate in real time and they ussually come with alot more features. Polar is one of the number 1 firms in excellent heart rate monitor watches e.g the Polar FT7F.
Follow this pattern regularly and conscientiously and you ought to be able to up your running time to 20-30 minutes by the end of the month. Remember that at the beginning, your focus shouldn't be on how long you have been running, but the quality of your run. Start lengthening your laps only when you have passed that initial stage.
For more information on heart rate monitors, visit the following website dedicated to heart rate monitor watch reviews on brands such as Polar, Omron and Timex.

This plugin in works so easily and so well. It's easy to learn how to use the various options, and the appearance on the page is really nice.
I had hoped the magazine layout would enable me to place the different posts in a line horizontally next to each other, but that may be possible with CSS - which I haven't tried (yet). But for my purposes, I was able to achieve the effect I wanted using widgets (and I suspect placing different parameters in a table would probably achieve this as well - although I haven't tried that yet either). But, if the horizontal layout worked out of the box I would definitely give this plugin five stars.
Oh, and the response from the developer is very quick and helpful. If I could give 4.5 stars, that would probably be closer to my rating. :-)
I've used it in a couple of websites, very reliable.

The Senate confirmed US ambassadors to Kuwait and Qatar on Thursday, as top Democrats fumed that lawmakers are slow-walking dozens more of President Barack Obama's nominations.
Career diplomats Douglas Silliman and Dana Smith were confirmed as the new envoys to Kuwait and Qatar, respectively.
Smith's confirmation process took a relatively quick two months, but Silliman's lasted seven months, a length of time that has become more the rule than the exception in a thoroughly gridlocked Senate.
"I really appreciate it today, we get two ambassadors," Senate Majority leader Harry Reid sneered on the Senate floor. "We've only got 27 more to go."
Secretary of State John Kerry has taken exception to the delays.
Just after touching down Thursday in Kabul, where he aims to ease a crisis over Afghanistan's disputed presidential election, he issued a "personal plea" to his former Senate colleagues to come together and stop hobbling American diplomacy.
"The world demands our engagement more than ever before. But we can't lead if we are not present," Kerry said.
America's top diplomat said there were now 43 ambassador nominations pending.
"That means we're going without our strongest voice on the ground every day in more than 25 percent of the world," Kerry said.
The Obama administration has pressed for the envoys' rapid confirmation to more comprehensively address flashpoints like the Middle East or eastern Ukraine, and contend with what Kerry called "rogue countries" threatening nuclear proliferation.
With Republicans furious over what they see as Obama's executive overreach, and highly controversial changes to Senate rules rammed through by Democratic leadership making it easier to break Republican filibusters, they have thrown up roadblocks in each confirmation process.
According to Kerry, 58 State Department nominees are awaiting confirmation, including 37 who have already been approved by the Senate Foreign Relations Committee.
Those 37 have waited an average of 245 days -- eight months -- for confirmation, the State Department said.
Republicans have demanded individual votes on each nominee, instead of employing Kerry's suggestion of confirming the non-controversial diplomatic picks "en bloc," as some military nominations are handled.
Many of the nominees are non-controversial career diplomats, but they are caught up in the partisan standoff infecting Washington.
"World events demand that the Senate rise above political partisanship and confirm these nominees," Kerry said.
The Senate last month confirmed new US ambassadors to Egypt and Iraq.

The Fight
Around Christmas time my daughter and her boyfriend thought it might be a good idea to get a companion for the monster puppy cuz he is eight now and needs to be excersized to remain happy and healthy. So I gave them the money they needed to purchase a beautiful female Pit Bull puppy. She is so sweet and loving I wish she were my dog and I am more a cat person. She is funny and a sneaky thief of things she should not chew on/eat.
My daughter and her boyfriend know how I feel about how rough the boyfriend plays with any of the animals and it has seemed to me he was looking for things to punish the newest addition over. Her name is Ellie. This is just my opinion and it did not stop him.
The boyfriend never puts anything back where he got them. He never can find anything cuz he doesn't remember where he left them. He does not take good care of anything. He is a slob. Just my opinion.
The morning of the fight I was up at 6am picking up the dishes that the boyfriend left on the floor and coffee table in the livingroom while the dogs were outside. While I was loading the dish washer I let the dogs in. At first I could see them playing and eating their dog food. Then it got quiet.
I went in the livingroom and there was Ellie chewing a bunch of Ibuprofen. The boyfriend lost the cap somewhere so Ellie had easy access since the boyfriend left the open bottle on the floor. I freaked and immediately became angry and scared for Ellie.
I banged on their door and demanded they come out to the livingroom. Swearing is usually not my behavior. I just lost it. I told them what happened and it would not have happened if the boyfriend wasn't such a slob, picked up after himself and put things back where he found them. I told them at this point I would fear any grandchild they may give me that their slovenly behavior would be the death of their child. I was speaking loudly. I told them that I don't know how many pills she ate. They are irresponsible. Whenever I am angry I cry (I hate that I do that). I told them that Ellie could die just because of their disrespect of my home and the safety of the animals. I furthermore stated that the boyfriend also needs to stop beating Ellie whenever she does something naughty. I also told my daughter that her boyfriend spends more time with me than she does. Chewing the pills is not Ellie's fault but his. The boyfriend denied beating her as punishment. A lie.
Then what always happens with me the fight got off topic. Disagreements with people seem to always back fire on me and turned around upon me. They both were verbally attacking me (that is what it felt like) regarding other things. I kept trying to get back on topic about what to do about Ellie but they were hell bent to vent their complaints about me. I finally got tired of it and asked them then told them to get out of my face and go to their room and leave me alone. They refused and kept on yapping at me.
I told them I have said all I wanted and I am now done. I got up and went to the one place they would not follow me, the bathroom. I took a shower and cried and cried. When I came out to sit in my chair they both were still there. My daughter had given Ellie a capful of hydrogen peroxide to cause her to vomit. Ellie was vomiting. Then they both started again attacking me on things that had nothing to do with Ellie. They sat in positions directly across from me. Like blocking me in. On and on they went.
I refused to engage other than to say I am done and I said all I wanted to. For about an hour they went on especially the boyfriend. It was ugly and so very hurtful.
It has been a week since that has happened and I still can hear the words they threw at me:
I was acting like a five year old
I was acting like a child
I am unfair to them
I ignore them
I don't care when they are sick
I repeat myself, telling something more than once
Everything has to be about me
I am selfish
My daughter cannot relate to the things I am interested in like current events, pandys and what I watch or read and she does not want to listen to those things
I take advantage of them
What a good mother I turned out to be (heavy sarcasm from my daughter)
Taking me somewhere or going with me anywhere is boring to my daughter so that is why the boyfriend goes with me
I am always in pain so why ask how I am and I don't look for other ways to get rid of my pain.
This is not the daughter I raised. My daughter and her boyfriend do not pay me rent to live here. I bought their car so they could get to work. I paid for their insurance. I pay the utilities. Not too far back on a night that my daughter worked the boyfriend was sick with a 102 degree temp and he thought he was going to die I stayed up all night with him until my daughter got home. I do not throw any of this in their face. I wanted to help them out.
The ending of this fight was interesting. My daughter told her boyfriend to just stop cuz I was done talking. The boyfriend then started to cry saying that at least my daughter has a parent that cares about her and he doesn't. We should openly communicate our complaints. Then he got up and hugged me and said he was sorry which felt fake. He then went right to the bathroom and vomited.
My daughter did not hug me nor did she ever apologize.
While they were yelling at me two of my lady cats were close to me meowing and totally upset. I have never seen them do that. Ellie was sitting between my legs as if protecting me.
Ellie continued to vomit through the night and some contained blood so my daughter called our vets night number. The vet said the blood was from the pills and give her some pepsit. She was her normal sweet puppy after 24 hours. My daughter and boyfriend are still convinced that the vomiting caused the blood and that she did not actually swallow any of the pills.
My sorrow and disappointment are great. I am also confused and bewildered. I find myself doubting myself and think what if all the hurtful things they said not relating to Ellie might be true but logic tells me no. Then I think maybe I am blind to my behaviors. I just don't know. What I do know is I feel even more alone than before.
Blessings to all here

An intriguing doubleheader is coming to Southern California, Oct. 13.
It was announced earlier this week that WBO and IBF super bantamweight champion Nonito Donaire (29-1, 18 KOs) will face WBC champion Toshiaki Nishioka (39-4-3, 24 KOs) in the main event from the Home Depot Center.
If that's not enough, undefeated junior welterweight sluggers Brandon Rios (30-0-1, 22 KOs) will meet Mike Alvarado (33-0, 23 KOs) in a 10-round fight, that will likely resemble a brawl.
Donaire is coming off his unanimous decision victory over Jeffrey Mathebula that unified in a super bantamweight unification bout in July at the Home Depot Center.
Nishioka, who was watching from ringside, is currently in the midst of an eight-year, 16-fight winning streak. In his most recent fight, he defeated Rafael Marquez last October to retain his WBC super bantamweight title.
Rios, after struggling in recent fights to make the lightweight limit, will be making his junior welterweight debut. Alvarado defeated Mauricio Herrera by unanimous decision in their April 14 fight that is a candidate for fight of the year.
This clash with Rios can surpass that. Tickets will go on sale Aug. 16.
TKO Boxing Club will host its annual Silent Auction and Scholarship Fundraiser, Sunday at 2 p.m. at El Zocalo Mexican Steakhouse (301 N. Tustin Ave., Santa Ana.).
The event raises money for scholarships that will benefit Santa Ana's at-risk youth.
Tickets are $15 per person or 2 for $25. Attendees will have the opportunity to participate in a silent auction and meet undefeated local fighters Ronny Rios and Luis Ramos Jr. For ticket information contact Mary Lara at 714-336-3361 …
The next edition of Roy Englebrecht's Fight Club OC from the OC Fair and Events Center is Thursday at 7:30 p.m. Undefeated heavyweight Alexander Flores (9-0, 7 KOs) headlines the boxing/mma hybrid card when he faces Henry Namauu in an eight-round fight. Tickets are $50. For information visit www.fightcluboc.com.

Released: Dec 01st, 1990
Running Time: 72, 72, 72
Director: Pete Lowell
Company: Video Exclusives
Cast: Marilyn Rose, Purple Passion, Natasha Skylar, Dusty, Kimberly Kane, Tamara Lee, Tabitha Fox, Vanity (I)
Critical Rating: AA 1/2
Genre: Feature
All-girl features don't usually lend themselves to a coherent story but sexually, this one is very decent. Scene 2 has a vague connection to scene 5, and #3 is almost connected to #4, so this really amounts to a vignette show. The highlight is a seven-girl orgy—something rarely seen in these quickie productions. It's well done with enough variety of people and action to-please fans of this genre. The other four scenes are standard but at least not boring. There is a big market out there for girl-girl sexvids and this is a respectable addition to it.

All Rise...
Judge Clark Douglas certainly hopes his private life is never made into a film.
Editor's Note
Our review of Academy Collection: The Envelope Please, Volume 1, published March 8th, 2010, is also available.
The Charge
Lush 1930's moviemaking at its best!
The Case
The fine folks at Criterion have been putting out magnificent DVD releases for years. Sure, they cost considerably more than the average DVDs, but the remarkably in-depth supplements typically make the prices well worth it. While it may be relatively easy to convince someone to buy a lavish, expensive release of something like The Seventh Seal or Brazil, it may be a bit more difficult to market more obscure gems successfully. So, Criterion created the Eclipse collection, which offers box sets of noteworthy (but often little-known) films by famed directors like Ingmar Bergman, Akira Kurosawa, and others with easier-to-swallow price tags. The 16th entry in the series is Alexander Korda's Private Lives, offering four period films of the 1930s directed by the famed cinematic showman.
The first installment is 1933's The Private Life of Henry VIII, a wickedly funny historical satire offering a portrait of one of England's most controversial historical figures. The film slips into standard drama mode every now and then, but the vast majority of the time it has a sparkle of subversive cheekiness. It's incredibly lacking in terms of historical accuracy, but the sheer level of fun to be had here more than makes up for it. The film skips the King's first marriage to Catherine of Aragon, actually opening at the execution of his second wife, Anne Boleyn. The tone of the film is set quite swiftly as we see Anne pondering whether her hair will look good when her head is chopped off. There's an amusing exchange between a Frenchman and an Englishman on which country is better at performing elegant executions, and more amusing conversations between peasants about the execution. "Oh, that's a lovely new dress she has," a woman says. "I haven't gotten a new dress in a year." "Well, you'll get a new dress," her husband replies, "At your execution."
The highlight of the film is undoubtedly the performance of the magnificent Charles Laughton in the title role. Laughton portrays the king as a jovial monster, thoroughly self-serving and selfish at every turn. As the tone of the film is one of satire, Laughton's performance is primarily geared towards generating laughs rather than inspiring fear, but he does a magnificent job. It's a real marvel to see Laughton sitting at the dining hall chomping on mutton and guzzling wine, throwing bones and goblets behind him as he proceeds with messy glee. My favorite scene comes on the wedding night of Laughton's marriage to Anne of Cleaves, in which the King comes to the horrifying realization that his wife doesn't know what is supposed to happen on a wedding night. A bit of delicately hilarious conversation leads to what must surely be the most mutually satisfying divorce agreement of all time. The film is only 94 minutes long and attempts to cover a lot of ground, breezing through the life of Henry VIII with energetic efficiency. It's a fun lark that I quite enjoyed.
Korda followed up The Private Life of Henry VIII with the similarly entertaining The Rise of Catherine the Great. However, the film has a rather different tone in general, partially because Korda was serving as producer rather than director this time around. Paul Czinner made a fine substitute, actually offering a considerably more "cinematic" experience than Korda and also offering a somewhat different sense of humor. While most of the humor in Henry VIII came from the witty wordplay, The Rise of Catherine the Great offers a good deal more in the way of physical comedy and elaborate cinematography. Still, the overall experience is one that trades in historical accuracy for a sense of humor. The tale of the marriage between Catherine II (Elizabeth Bergner) and Peter III (Douglas Fairbanks Jr.) is chronicled with amusing wit. It's technically a bit stronger than Korda's previous film, partially because it never takes the opportunity to go for a joke when the situation doesn't call for one. I admire The Rise of Catherine the Great, as it's a well-rounded and satisfying viewing experience, but I enjoyed The Private Life of Henry VIII just a bit more.
The elder Fairbanks (Douglas Fairbanks, Sr.) plays the title role in The Private Life of Don Juan, a title that deliberately attempts to cash in on the considerable box office success of Henry VIII. The film marked the final performance of silent film star Fairbanks, who never was able to successfully find fame in the world of talkies. When the film was released, Fairbanks was criticized a great deal by most critics, who claimed that he simply wasn't capable of carrying a non-silent film. While it's hardly an Oscar-worthy performance, I found Fairbanks rather good here in the role, particularly considering the way he satirizes his own image as a romantic screen idol. The Don Juan of this film is an aging sad-sack who is well past his prime, no longer able to have the same effect on women that he once did. The film is one of many small pleasures, including a lovely proposal scene that stands out as the highlight of the film. The film also offers a very fine supporting turn from Merle Oberon, who had turned up briefly as Anne Boleyn in The Private Life of Henry VIII. Korda's direction is a bit clunky at times, but the film is a lightweight pleasure that I enjoyed.
The final film included here is Rembrandt, which allowed Korda and Laughton to team up once again. The film is much different than the others in the set, partially because it actually attempts to provide a thoughtful and sobering portrait of the great painter rather than turning his life into a giddy comedy. Laughton and Korda reputedly did a great deal of fighting throughout the film's production, but somehow both managed to remain in peak form throughout. Korda's direction is considerably more artful and nuanced than usual, while Laughton's performance is one of his finest turns of the era. It's a sad, surprisingly deep film that quietly drifts through the final 27 years of the artist's life with observant sadness. The one thing it has in common with the other films is something of an elegiac feel; all of them seem to be saying goodbye to one thing or another.
The films vary a bit in terms of video quality. The first three films are all pretty messy, with plenty of flecks, scratches, and bits of grime throughout. Criterion has obviously put some work into cleaning them up, but these are a bit below that company's usual standard (of course, these Eclipse films have typically looked a bit less impressive than the standard Criterion releases). Rembrandt has fewer scratches and flecks than the rest of the films, but suffers from a bothersome flickering effect that is present throughout much of the film. There's a considerable level of hiss on all four audio tracks, though it's worst on The Private Life of Henry VIII (which also features very muffled dialogue on occasion). The sound is generally average considering that these films are over 70 years old. There are no extras included on any of the films, though the inside of each case offers a few paragraphs of historical background info on each production.
Three fun romps and one very solid drama join forces to create a very satisfactory box set. Alexander Korda's Private Lives earns an easy recommendation.

Before you ask a question...:
Should one of my students read this...
Yes, I know you can get help for your homework from the Internet , but I usually get you ... sooner or later.
Once a former student of mine managed to smuggle a smartphone in the classroom during a written test . After reading his test it took me about 5 minutes to find the exact URL of the crap he put on his sheet (20+ years-old pre-standard C++ code with non-standard includes).
Remember : Internet is full of free stuff ... and crappy stuff is particularly free . Thus choose wisely what you are "borrowing" .
Of course feel free to learn from what you find on StackOverflow (and other StackExchange network sites)! You could manage to outsmart me and get better grades!
Happy Coding (or SW/HW Hacking)!

I expected the plugin to do this:
I expected it to generate an excerpt from the text on my page and use that in the meta description.
Instead it did this:
%%excerpt%% was not replaced with an auto-generated excerpt but with spaces.
Is this because of a lack of understanding from my part, or is this a bug?
I noticed a similar thread by kanuxdesigner from 1 week ago, but no replies there. Hope this one does...
