Nobel laureate Aung San Suu Kyi called on World AIDS Day Sunday for an end to discrimination towards victims of the disease as experts warned against complacency in fighting the global scourge.
Speaking as the UNAIDS global advocate for HIV/AIDS victims, Suu Kyi drew parallels between the plight of sufferers and her own struggle for democracy.
"The fight against discrimination is an extension of our fight for freedom from fear," said the Myanmar opposition leader and democracy icon.
"My simple message as the global ambassador for zero discrimination is it all starts in the mind and in the heart. There must be less calculation and more warmth, more love, more affection, more compassion."
Suu Kyi was speaking in Melbourne at the launch of AIDS 2014, a major global health conference to be held in the city in July with 14,000 delegates from almost 200 countries.
Together with UNAIDS director Michael Sidibe she unveiled a campaign targeting prejudice against HIV/AIDS sufferers, with the world's first Zero Discrimination Day to be held on March 1.
Sidibe said scientific breakthroughs and visionary leadership meant there was now an end in sight to "an epidemic that has wrought such staggering devastation around the world".
"But make no mistake, stigma, denial and complacency are still among us, putting us in danger of failing the next generation," he said.
In its annual report on the state of the global pandemic released in September, UNAIDS said new HIV infections had plummeted by a third overall since 2001 and more than halved among children.
Twenty-five countries -- many in sub-Saharan Africa -- reported a 50 percent reduction in new infections last year due to increased availability of treatments.
Last year 1.6 million people died from AIDS-related causes, down from 2.3 million in 2005, according to the United Nations.
Sharon Lewin, an infectious diseases professor and co-chair of AIDS 2014, said there had been substantial progress in the global response to HIV.
But she said the world was at a crossroads with HIV.
"We have come so far and there have been so many successes," she said. "But still there are so many challenges, the biggest being that we know what works, but yet we still can't broadly implement it."
'Our health and our lives depend on it'
In Rome, Pope Francis issued a World AIDS Day appeal for universal access to treatment.
"We reach out to the people who are suffering, especially to children," the pope said after the weekly Angelus prayers.
"Each sick person, without exception, must have access to the treatment they need."
Worldwide, 35.3 million people were living with HIV in 2012, 70 percent of them in sub-Saharan Africa.
In South Africa, the country with the world's biggest caseload -- 6.4 million HIV sufferers and millions of AIDS orphans -- Health Minister Aaron Motsoaledi issued an appeal for his compatriots to get themselves tested.
"We believe that somehow the momentum was dying down. We want to remind people that the issue of getting tested is very important and they must continue with it," he said.
South Africa has made huge progress in combatting the disease over the past decade, raising the prospect of an AIDS-free generation.
In a newspaper column Patrick Gaspard, the US ambassador in Pretoria, listed milestones achieved with US help including a reduction in the mother-to-child HIV transmission rate to less than three percent, and nearly 295,000 men medically circumcised as a preventative measure.
But Fareed Abdullah, head of South Africa's National Aids Council, warned that "we still have a massive problem with new infections", with some 370,000 for 2012 alone.
"The biggest drivers of unsafe sex are structural. Older men with a greater accumulated risk of HIV exposure are infecting younger women," he said.
Infection rates in young women aged 15 to 19 are three times higher than their male counterparts, often as a result of paid sex between poor teenagers and wealthier older men, he said.
In the Democratic Republic of Congo's troubled east, local rap outfit Black's Power was staging an AIDS awareness concert in Bukavu to denounce the disease's toll.
Organised by African Artists for Development, with music booming out from a beaten-up old truck, the rap gig aims to condemn discrimination against AIDS victims, the plight of abandoned AIDS orphans, and the lack of available testing.
"AIDS is here my brothers and sisters, We have to get tested if we are to protect ourselves," run the lyrics to one song entitled "Ignorance is Killing Us".
"Let's not be afraid, let's not be ashamed, Our health and our lives depend on it."

In November 2007, Dodge City resident, Michelle Dunbar found herself caring for her 5-year-old daughter who fell ill. Her youngest of four, Mariah G. Villa, suffered from a fever and weight-loss due to her lack of appetite. Like any parent would do, Michelle took her daughter to see doctors, anxious to treat Mariah's symptoms and get her frail little girl back to her vivacious self.
Four months later in March 2008, right as Mariah welcomed her sixth birthday, her family was told her continual illness was symptomatic of acute lymphoblastic leukemia.
"She started treatment right away," Michelle said. "Her first round of chemotherapy was successful; she went through it all with a smile on her face."
Mariah went into remission and returned to school to finally enjoy her kindergarten class after having missed her first attempt at kindergarten due to being away to undergo treatment.
Unfortunately, time would prove it was only the calm before the storm.
"My oldest son, Mariah and myself were on our way to Kansas City because Mariah was scheduled to receive a transplant" Michelle said. "I noticed Mariah's discolored face and she was short of breath so we quickly turned the car around to the nearest emergency room but they couldn't save her, we found out a blood clot had traveled into one of her lungs."
Mariah passed away on March 4, 2009, one week before her seventh birthday.
"She was a princess, she was 'my' princess and everyone absolutely loved her," Michelle said. "Her smile was contagious, even when she was sick, she never stopped smiling."
"Maria loved outdoor activities, she loved butterflies - I see butterflies around me all the time and I know it's her...she's with me every day."
Finding a cure through community support
A fundraiser inspired by Mariah's journey with cancer is scheduled to take place Sunday, May 19, at Friendship Park, hosted by Mariah's father, Francisco Villla and his wife, Erica Villa. All proceeds will be donated to the American Cancer Society.
The fundraiser , whose theme is Find a Cure Through Community Support, will be a yard-sale-style event that will offer clothes, toys, household items and much more. Home-made food will also be available to purchase, including enchiladas, tamales, pudding pies, cheesecake, cupcakes, and more.
"We have been planning this event since April," Erica said. "My team and I have set a goal to each raise $100 and we began reaching out to sponsors. I was very pleased to find out that the majority of the businesses i've called were more then willing to help."
According to Erica, she currently has a list of more than 40 sponsors that have helped by making monetary donations and food donations.
Page 2 of 2 - Other items being sold at the event were donated by different people in the community and all things not sold will be donated to Salvation Army and Second Time Around.
"As our way of saying thank you to everyone who has helped and everyone that will be coming out to support the fundraiser we will be serving cake and a bouncy house will be available for the kids to enjoy," Erica said. "We will also have a lemonade stand...it's just going to be a fun day. I encourage everyone to come out, there will be something for everyone, and it's all for a good cause."
The Villas will also be hosting a car wash at Auto Zone, Sunday May 26th from 9 a.m. to 4 p.m.

Chalkboard Paint Wall Calendar
Chalkboard paint isn't new, but creative minds keep coming up with new ways to use it. Consider the dramatic wall calendar shown here. It began with a floor-to-ceiling coat of standard gray chalkboard paint. With the help of a yardstick, squares were drawn in pencil, then taped off. Three-fourths were filled in with different shades of light and medium gray, leaving the remaining squares the same color as the wall. For more on this, and other chalkboard paint ideas, see 5 Clever Ideas for Chalkboard Paint.

Product Description
From Amazon
Peter S. Beagle creates magic in this coming-of-age ghost story, returning to a subgenre he first explored in A Fine and Private Place. When her mother remarries, 13-year-old narrator Jenny Gluckstein moves from New York City to a run-down, haunted, 300-year-old farm in Dorset, England. In slow-moving early chapters, unhappy Jenny's beloved Mister Cat is quarantined for six months and she must attend an English girl's school. Jenny's voice is painfully genuine, her self-description merciless. If early adolescence brings on flashbacks, wait to read this book.
The pace picks up when Mister Cat returns and Jenny meets Meena Chari, whose belief in the supernatural comes from growing up in ghost-ridden India. First Mister Cat finds a new girlfriend, a ghostly Persian Cat only he and Jenny can see. Then she and her younger stepbrother, Julian, confront a boggart who's been playing tricks on the family. The gnome-like boggart is dressed in a Seven Dwarves hat, Robin Hood garb, "and heavy little boots, ankle-high--I'd have taken them for Doc Martens, except I don't think they make them in boggart sizes." The boggart warns her to beware of the ghost cat, her mistress, and "the Other One" most of all. But one afternoon she follows Mister Cat to meet Tamsin Willoughby, ghost of the farm-founder's daughter. Tamsin is friendly, but won't tell Jenny anything about the Other One, or talk about Edric, apparently her lost love. To free Tamsin's ghost, Jenny must relive the tragic history of 17th-century Dorset and face grave danger.
Tamsin is vintage Beagle: there's a shape-shifting Pooka, a ghostly love story, music, the Goddess, and the Wild Hunt. It's beautifully written and can be read on several levels, including as a loving homage to Thomas Hardy's moody novels (Tess of the d'Urbervilles and Far from the Madding Crowd) and poetry (Selected Poems). Or you can lose yourself in the story. Fans of The Last Unicorn will enjoy this one. --Nona Vero --This text refers to an out of print or unavailable edition of this title.
From Publishers Weekly
Like his enchanting The Last Unicorn, Beagle's newest fantasy features characters so real they leap off his pages and into readers' souls. Tamsin Willoughby, dead some 300 years, haunts ramshackle old Stourhead Farm in Dorset, England, an ancient 700-acre estate that 13-year-old Jenny's new, English stepfather is restoring. Thoroughly American Jenny, miserable at being transplanted from New York City to rural Britain, finds a suffering kindred spirit in Tamsin, a ghost who is mourning Edric, a love she lost during Dorset's punitive Bloody Assizes under King James II. Tamsin leads Jenny through an engrossing night world inhabited by an array of British spiritsAthe Black Dog, a braggart Boggart, ominous Oakmen, the shapeshifting Pooka and a marvelous mystical army-booted Earth Mother. To save Tamsin and gentle Edric from eternal torment, Jenny faces evil personified: demonic Judge Jeffries, who sentenced hundreds of people to brutal execution during the Assizes. Slipping effortlessly between Jenny's brash 1999 lingo, the raw primeval dialect of ancient Dorset and Tamsin's exquisite Jacobean English, Beagle has created a stunning tale of good battling evil, of wonder and heartbreak and of a love able to outlast the worst vileness of the human heart. Fantasy rarely dances through the imagination in more radiant garb than this. (Oct.)

I couldn't put it down. I finished it in less than 24 hours, which was both good and bad - good because I really really wanted to see how it was going to end, but bad because the book is so slow and I got frustrated with it.
I would have adored this book when I was in jr high or high school. This would have been my favorite book then. I enjoyed it a lot now, but I did have some problems with it. For one thing, I see lots of reviewers here saying that it's not cliche. Well maybe you didn't read the same books I did, but I read a lot of young adult ghost stories back in the day, and this book follows the formula. It does it very well, yes, but it still follows the formula. Teenager forced against their will to move into a haunted house because a parent remarries, difficult time adjusting to new family, discovers a ghost with a tragic past, get information about the ghost from older, local people, etc. Wait Till Helen Comes for example (which is also a great young adult ghost story) has all of these cliches. So does The Headless Cupid (also excellent). Tamsin is excellent and worth reading, but the formula is there and is obvious if you've seen it before.
I don't want to be too negative, because this really is a good book, and I enjoyed it a lot. I adored Mister Cat! The house itself was creepy and I would have enjoyed more time spent to exploring it (and perhaps less time devoted to Tamsin almost - but then not - telling Jenny things).Read more ›
That cavil aside, once you accept that the characters aren't really very bright, this is a truly well-written and sensitive fantasy, with astonishing insights into the concerns and teenage girls...Furthermore, TAMSIN warmed the heart of this old medievalist. It deals intimately with one of the crucial periods in history, the English Seventeenth Century--and reminds us why England had its Glorious Revolution and Bill of Rights, and why we must stalwartly defend our Constitution and our even better American Bill of Rights...
Still, it took me almost 4 months to open the pages of "Tamsin". And I couldn't put it down. (Neither could my wife, who swiped it off me soon after I'd started - we had quite a tussle over it!)
The amazing thing is what an immediate different experience "Tamsin" is to "Unicorn". Beagle writes thru a 19-year-old girl's eyes recounting her experiences at 13, and my wife swears "that's exactly how a teen girl thinks". He really gets the teen perspective spot-on. Amazing for a man whose teen years must be quite some decades behind him (sorry, Mr Beagle!).
It was a bit frustrating (just a bit) that the novel takes some time to get to the titular character - Tamsin - but in retrospect, it makes sense. Because the book is really just as much about the teen girl Jenny Gluckstein, who's uprooted from bustling New York to "dull" Dorset (so she had disgruntledly expected) by her mother's second marriage to an Englishman. This 'preamble' of quite a few chapters fleshes out Jenny's character really well - before the real fun starts!
That's when Tamsin is finally introduced, and the story's pace & drama move up a few notches. And so does the scare factor. Not any cheap, gimmicky kind, but one that really can send a chill down your spine, involving the unfolding a 300-year-old secret against a Dorset background rich in ghosts and myths.
I won't say anymore to spoil your enjoyment. This book is worth its full price - I'm just thrilled I got it at such a steal!
P.S. I'm now giving "The Last Unicorn" another chance - and hunting down more books by Peter S. Beagle!
I was able to lose myself in this novel, and I was sorry when the it ended. On the last page, the pooka said, "Jenny Gluckstein mystery belongs to mystery, not to Dorset or London. You are yourself as much a riddle as any you will ever encounter, and so you you will always draw riddles to you, wherever you may be. If there should be a boggart in New York, he will find your house, I assure you, as any pooka in London will know your name." This leaves a door open to perhaps meet Jenny again. I for one would be glad to meet Jenny and any of her fantastic compatriots in another novel.

The four girl/girl/boy scenes in this production work very well, particularly because the girls are so helpful. While one gets fucked in the ass, the other spreads the first girl's butt cheeks open. They feed each other the cock. They bring out dildos to help d.p. each other. Put simply, these European broads get involved and stay involved from the beginning to the end of each long scene.
With nearly three full hours of sex, loads of anal and A2M's, Sliders 11 gives the consumer plenty of stroke material. And since the Sliders series has consistently been bringing this level of sexual enthusiasm, pre-nom it for Best Foreign All-Sex Series.

Women Who Want Babies: Alcohol And Advice
There's a swirl of media and pithy opinions that pertain to women of child-bearing age this week that have come off as fairly oppressive. You've heard the news — this is about Zika and this is also about alcohol. First, there's a new report out of the Centers for Disease Control (CDC) that stitches truths about unplanned pregnancy, alcohol use in child-bearing years and offers advice that has lit women and the blogosphere aflame. The CDC's goal is valiant: inform women about risks alcohol has on developing fetuses, remind the public that nearly 1/2 pregnancies are unplanned and remind women to make "good choices." On top of this, women of child-bearing age have been told that not only can we not take a trip to Mexico or Central America while pregnant because of risks from Zika, we learned earlier this week that we can't have unprotected sex with our partners while pregnant if there is any chance of an exposure to the virus. Women planning on getting pregnant should also take precautions. As a reminder, Zika is a somewhat silent infection (only 1 in 5 who get it have symptoms) so the risk criteria is just based on where you go and where you're exposed. If we women get the Zika virus while we're pregnant or at the time of delivery, our babies can have devastating side effects. So the threat can feel very real.
Something that has to be said: public health recommendations in keeping families healthy will at times differ for men and women. It's just the way it's gonna be because of our differing roles in making and raising children. Nonetheless, I'm here to say I think the advice and the news this past week has felt like a big ton of bricks. Advice has felt unrealistic, sexist, and oppressive by many even though it's based in smart public health data. For the first time in my life I'm relieved that I'm not thinking about having another baby. I mean it's just a lot to toss around. That being said: IT'S A WONDERFUL TIME to have a baby. Let me do my best to frame up the alcohol conversation as a mom, feminist, pediatrician and health advocate. The updated recommendations/precautions on Zika will be in my next post:
Pregnancy, Women Who Can Get Pregnant, And Alcohol:
In the report's summation, it advises women who 1) ARE pregnant or who 2) are TRYING to become pregnant to refrain from drinking. Pretty standard. It's group #3, the group that MIGHT become pregnant causing a bit of unease. The report recommends that women who MIGHT become pregnant (capable of becoming pregnant) unintentionally & who consume alcohol, to either refrain from drinking altogether or use contraception. This includes women of child-bearing age (15 to 44) who are drinking, having sex, and not using birth control – roughly 3.3 million based on the CDC report. According to a study in 2011, we learned that about half of all US pregnancies are unplanned and, even if planned, most women do not know they are pregnant until they are 4-6 weeks into the pregnancy.

Cleansing Gel
A deliciously cool, soothing, non-foaming gel for face and eyes.
Contains organic rosewater, aloe vera, meadowfoam seed, green tea and wild chamomile. Specially formulated to rinse off totally and very, very quickly with cool to lukewarm water - the most beneficial temperature for the skin. Leaves no residue or dryness.
Free from: fragrance, essential oils, sulphates, soap, colours, dyes, paraben preservatives and unnecessary additives.
Helps to calm irritation and redness and to balance oily and dry areas whilst respecting the acid mantle, the skin's first line of defence against moisture loss and blemishes.
Multi-tasking: cleanser, soothing mask, shaving gel. (See also Some Suggestions below.)
Tried and tested facial cleansers: here's our pick of the best! Mir Cleansing Gel for face and eyes:thick creamy and easy to apply. It didn't aggravate sensitive areas or make my skin feel taut or dry. Definitely one for those prone to flare-ups 9/10. Natural Health
I know you must hear this all the time but your cleansing gel is an absolute miracle product. It's literally saved my skin! Thanks as always for your great customer service. (Linda S., Vermont USA)
Use morning and evening. Apply small amount - the diameter of a small coin - to lightly dampened or dry skin. Moisten fingertips and spread gel over face and eyelids with light circular movements. Ensure there is sufficient product so as not to drag skin. Rinse thoroughly with cool to lukewarm water whilst continuing to massage, or gently wipe off with damp face cloth.
Follow with Skin Refresher on a cotton pad - apart from eye makeup traces the pad should come away almost entirely clean, otherwise use more Cleansing Gel next time or pre-cleanse first, see below.
Some suggestions:
Soothing mask: Leave on while brushing teeth for extra soothing effect.
The Mir Pre-cleansing method:
Indelible and waterproof foundations and those with heavier coverage may require pre-cleansing with Skin Refresher - or Skin Refresher and Argan Beauty Oil - on a cotton pad.
Alternatively, wipe with a face cloth, tissue or soft kitchen towelling moistened with warm water.
Tip: Blot face before re-applying powder or foundation to avoid a difficult-to-remove build up.
Removing eye makeup, sweep a cotton pad with Skin Refresher and a drop of Mir Argan Oil over eyes before using Cleansing Gel.
Shaving: Appy Cleansing Gel to face, moisten fingertips with warm water, massage lightly with circular movements for a few seconds, shave as usual. "Wonderful sensation afterwards! All I added after that was Skin Silk Lotion with two drops of Argan Oil. My face has never felt so good after washing and shaving!" (Mr Veli-Matti V., Norway.)
Very dry skin: mix Cleansing Gel with a drop of Mir Argan Oil in palm of hand for smooth, supple skin.
Hypersensitive: mix with a drop of Manuka honey, rinse with filtered or bottled water.
Blemished: mix with a drop of Grapefruit Seed Extract, use caution, limit quantity and frequency as this can be irritating.
Oily and/or blemished: once or twice weekly wash with Cleansing Gel, follow with Gentle Exfoliating Cleanser, massaging very gently, for very deep cleansing.

Thomas Lynch begins each of his stories with a disaster. Deaths, divorces, cremated ashes, and autopsied bodies: these are the opening images and situations of a Lynch story. If you know Thomas Lynch the poet and essayist or Thomas Lynch the funeral director of Milford, Michigan, then these beginnings will not shock you. But even if you do not already know Lynch's earlier works or primary profession, his debut fiction collection is filled with the sorts of lives that you might expect from a thirty-five year veteran of the death industry.
Undertakers, housewives, fishermen, casket salesmen, and ministers: these are the characters who Lynch selects for his feeling, searching stories and novella. Indeed, these fictional lives feel so honest and genuine that it is hard not to assume they come directly from Lynch's experiences as the director of his family's funeral home in ...

Cake Walk was a sweet success
What began as a simple cake walk soon transformed into a sort of sweet vision quest for WCCO newsman Jason DeRusha. "I just don't know how I'm going to get this thing home," he remarked as the cake he'd won from event organizer and James Beard Award-nominated pastry chef Michelle Gayer loomed behind him. It was the end of a long, fun-filled night as guests danced off the end of their collective sugar buzz.
If you couldn't make it to the recent event at the Fine Line, here's what you missed:
Best of all, it was all to benefit Share Our Strength, an organization who fights to end childhood hunger. The line snaked out the door and the Fine Line was packed with the area's best pastry chefs, bakers and the people of this town that love them.

Released: Sep 01st, 1987
Running Time: 75
Director: Victor Nye
Company: VCA Pictures
Cast: Peter North, Brittany Stryker, Tom Byron, Krista Lane, Shenna Home, Magan Bradley, Paula Harlow, Billy Dee
Critical Rating: AAA 1/2
Genre: Film
This must be the month for stewardess pictures. I mean, imagine this: you're on an airplane, heading for a vacation somewhere, and you mind turns to the legendary Mile High Club, and you think you'd love to be initiated by some lovely hostess into the ecstasy of cabin-pressurized sex. Well, forget it; that stuff only happens in Penthouse letter columns. So sit back and enjoy the hijinks of this lovely trio.
I must say, I'm a sucker for a British accent, so Stewardess Magan Bradley is my cup of tea. She gets it on three or four times during the film, even once in a duo with Mike Homer and Johnny Nineteen, and delivers a scorching performance each time.
Almost as active, and at least as sexy, is Paula Harlow, who gives her all for a fake photographer (Tom Byron) who claims he'll make her a star, then bounces back to drag Peter North into the plane's restroom for a little R 'n R.
In the meantime, we're also let in on the fantasies of some of the passengers, which, strangely enough, revolve around the stewardesses. Of course, before the end of the flick, reality outdoes fantasy. ..beyond their wildest dreams.

Second Trimester 1stTrimester 3rd Trimester
163 days to go...
Your baby todayThe baby's face is partially obscured by the hand in this 3D image. Babies at this stage are small enough to fit onto the ultrasound screen, but beyond 20 weeks it is increasingly only possible to see a smaller part of the baby at any one time.
Ensuring you drink enough fluids is essential to good health in pregnancy, so carry your bottle of water everywhere.
Staying hydrated in pregnancy can be a challenge. Because of the hormonal changes taking place, some of the fluid you take in leaks into your body tissues, rather than staying within the bloodstream.
It's difficult to recommend an exact amount of fluid that should be drunk to keep you hydrated, since this depends on many factors, such as the foods you eat (some naturally contain water), your size, the amount you exercise, and the heat and humidity in the environment. Therefore, you need to listen to your own body to determine if you're adequately hydrated. One of the best ways to do this is to look at your urine. If it's clear to light yellow, you're adequately hydrated. If it's bright yellow or orange, you're likely to be dehydrated.
Drinking plenty of water is important. Sometimes, though, if you are nauseous, or just plain tired of drinking water, you may want to try other options for hydration, such as drinking juice or eating more fruit. Remember that caffeinated beverages, such as coffee, are not hydrating; caffeine has a diuretic effect, which means that you will want to urinate more often.
In the second and third trimester, dehydration in pregnancy can lead to premature contractions. This is because an anti-diuretic hormone is produced to help your body hold on to water. This hormone acts a lot like oxytocin, the hormone that triggers labor, causing contractions. Staying hydrated will prevent this from happening.
Focus On... Nutrition
Fabulous fruit
One great way to stay hydrated is to eat fruit. Many fruits are very high in water, especially melons, grapes, and strawberries. The water in fruit is very well absorbed in your body, because it comes partnered with sugar, which helps the water stay in your bloodstream.
In addition, fruit is highly nutritious and contains many of the vitamins and electrolytes that your body needs to stay in balance.
Ask A... Doctor
You may be experiencing some back pain and discomfort as your hormones begin to soften your ligaments. This means that your joints are less stable than usual, and injury is more likely.
Lifting your toddler will not harm your baby, but it may cause you discomfort, and you may be more likely to lose your balance. Ask your toddler to climb onto a chair so that you don't need to lift from bending position. To lift from floor level, squat down and use your legs to bear the weight. Avoid bending, which strains your back. Encourage your toddler to get onto your lap for a hug.

The new collection of Heaven Tanudiredja
Dear Shaded Viewers.
Heaven studied at the Royal Academy of Antwerp where he got his BA in fashion design, he was born in Jakarta and named Heaven by his grandmother. Designers such as Dries Van Noten have commissioned him to collaborate on their collections. I first became aware of his work several years ago when one of his teachers at Antwerp was wearing an amazing necklace that he had made for her. Currently he is off to Bali to work on his next collection which will also include clothing. For my part, I think that his work reflects his life and that his grandmother knew what she was doing when she named him Heaven. firstname.lastname@example.com

The Berry Center conference is coming to St. Catharine College
On April 4th, 5th and 6th, The Berry Center of New Castle, Kentucky will host a conference celebrating the ideas and vision of Wendell Berry and the 35th anniversary of the publication of his 1977 book, The Unsettling of America: Culture & Agriculture. The Berry Center, a non-profit organization, was established in May 2011 to institutionalize the work of farmer and lawyer John M. Berry, Sr., former state senator, John M. Berry, Jr., and farmer and author Wendell Berry, remarkable Kentuckians who have worked tirelessly toward a prosperous, healthy countryside and sustainable local food and farm economies for Kentucky and the nation.
For three days notable authors, community activists, farmers, sociologists and agricultural economists will revisit and respond to the book's principles in light of their knowledge and current understanding. The goal is that the insights resulting from these conversations will hasten a cultural shift toward land stewardship, the protection of valuable ecosystems, and the local production and distribution of goods and services – a shift toward a future that will endure and a vibrant and healthy rural – urban connectedness all over the state.
The Berry Center conference, "From Unsettling to Resettling: What Will It Take to Resettle America?" will take place at The Brown Hotel in Louisville and at St. Catharine College near Springfield, Kentucky.
A concert of choral music based on Wendell Berry's poetry will begin the conference. This will be a premier of music by composer Andrew Maxfield and will include as well music by composer Harry Pickens, performed by the Louisville choral group, Voces Novae directed by Frank Heller. The concert will be at 7 p.m. Thursday evening at The Cathedral of the Assumption in Louisville.
The conference on Friday, April 5th at the Brown Hotel in Louisville will commence with an address by Mary Berry, executive director of The Berry Center and will feature a presentation by Wes Jackson, president of The Land Institute in Salina, Kansas. Dr. Vandana Shiva of the Navdanya Research Foundation is the luncheon keynote speaker. Wendell Berry will introduce her. In addition there will be three panel discussions that will take up the issues of cultural change, real accounting, and land use. These panel discussions will be moderated by Dr. Norman Wirzba of Duke University, Woody Tasch, of Slow Money, and Fred Kirschenmann of the Leopold Center for Sustainable Agriculture, respectively.
The beautiful St. Catharine Hall at St. Catharine College in Springfield, Kentucky will be the site of Saturday's events, beginning with an interview of Wendell Berry by journalist and commentator Bill Moyers. In the afternoon a panel discussion will bring the conversation back to the initial question: What will it take to resettle America? Jack Shoemaker, Counterpoint Press, will moderate the panel. Panel members will include Fred Kirschenmann, Dr. Vandana Shiva, Mark Bittman (invited), Bill McKibben, Michael Pollan (invited), Woody Tasch, and Mary Berry.
The conference will conclude with presentations by Mary Berry about the work of The Berry Center and Dr. Leah Bayens, St. Catharine College, "Coming Home – A Place on Earth". St. Catharine College, a liberal arts college near Springfield, Kentucky is the home of the Berry Farming and Ecological Agrarianism Program, a program offering a bachelor's degree as well as a minor in farming and ecological agrarianism, with concentrations in agricultural ecology, plant and soil stewardship, community leadership and environmental arts and humanities.

2+ Seasons Of 180+ Hits With OPS+ Less Than 100
Posted by Steve Lombardi on March 29, 2011
How many players since 1901 have had two or more seasons with 180+ hits while fashioning an OPS+ under 100?
Here's the list:
Generated 3/29/2011.
No truth to the rumor that this is why Doc Cramer has a street...uh, I mean...boulevard...named after him.
23 Responses to "2+ Seasons Of 180+ Hits With OPS+ Less Than 100"
Tmckelv Says:
March 29th, 2011 at 5:27 pm
I love Dave Cash.
Made this list for 2 teams Phils and Expos.
from 1974 through 1977 he averaged 199 hits and 98 OPS+. He did beat out his Keystone Combo mate Larry Bowa (also on this list) in OPS+ just about every year.
Thomas Says:
March 29th, 2011 at 6:07 pm
I love seeing a headline and knowing who is going to be somewhere on the list... first thought was Juan Pierre
Mike S. Says:
March 29th, 2011 at 6:46 pm
I knew Jimmy Rollins was going to be on this list.
MikeD Says:
March 29th, 2011 at 6:54 pm
A lot of players from the '20s/'30s and '90s/'00s. Higher offensive periods, meaning even players putting up historically very good numbers might fall below 100 compared to the competition.
Chris Says:
March 29th, 2011 at 6:57 pm
I'm a bit surprised about Michael Young being on this list.
While I didn't immediately think of Jimmy Rollins, his inclusion makes sense, as I believe his on-base percentage has usually been fairly low.
Doug Says:
March 29th, 2011 at 7:20 pm
Slightly surprised Ichiro is not here. His numbers are a bit better but still quite similar to Mike Young's.
Ichiro did come close a couple of times with 102 and 106 OPS+.
Ed Says:
March 29th, 2011 at 7:29 pm
Juan Pierre was one hit short of having his sixth season last year.
Ed Says:
March 29th, 2011 at 7:31 pm
Doc Cramer...over 2700 hits but a career WAR of 5.4 (8.8 offensive, -3.4 defensive). Takes a special talent to do something like that!
dukeofflatbush Says:
March 29th, 2011 at 8:28 pm
That HAS to be the record. Averaging less than .002 Wins per hit.
I wonder who has the most productive hits.
I'll guess Gehrig.
dukeofflatbush Says:
March 29th, 2011 at 8:45 pm
Juan Pierre has three seasons of > 200 hits, with < 100 OPS+.
Richard Chester Says:
March 29th, 2011 at 9:20 pm
As of 2006 Juan Pierre held the seasonal record for the lowest BA for a player with more than 200 hits, .292 in 2006.
Doc Cramer had a streak of 2663 AB without a HR, eighth longest in ML.
dukeofflatbush Says:
March 29th, 2011 at 10:41 pm
@ Rick Chest
Pierre is also a click off the lowest BA for 220 hits. His 221 hits 2004 rank near or at the bottom in nearly every category, both % and accumulative.
I still think Pierre has more value than most people give him credit for.

Has anyone gone from being often mentioned as "one of the most underrated players" to being tacitly acknowledged as one of the most overrated, more quickly than Michael Young, with so little change in his actual performance?

@12 Juan Pierre scored 90 plus run 7 times in his career.Since scoring runs is the object of the game, I would say he has been valuable to his team.

You'll all notice Pierre made an effort to get on base other ways than slap singles last year with his 21 HBP. Who needs walks when you can Biggio your way on to first?
John Autin Says:
March 30th, 2011 at 1:48 pm
@17 -- A raw count of Pierre's runs scored means little without any context.
Let's put his 2010 season into context:
-- The average AL leadoff spot produced 99 Runs and 54 RBI.
-- The White Sox, with Pierre leading off all but 6 games, got 97 Runs and 48 RBI -- slightly below average, even their overall R/G was about 4% above average.
So where's the offensive value?
The same analysis for his other seasons often leads to same conclusion.
Taking another angle and focusing only on Runs....
2010 was the first time in his career that Pierre cracked the top 10 in runs scored in his league; he was tied for 10th.
Is that good value from a slap-hitting leadoff man?
For the years 2001-07 -- the prime of his career -- Pierre was 3rd among all hitters in total PAs (averaging 716 PA per year), 2nd in total outs made ... but 14th in Runs.
When you examine Pierre's raw numbers in the context of what other leadoff men do, then factor in the cost to his teams of all the outs he's made, he has clearly been a below-average leadoff man.
stan cook Says:
March 30th, 2011 at 2:33 pm
Re: the above (#19). I have wondered about Pete Rose's career run totals. First in plate appearances by a huge margin and mostly batting leadoff in front of good hitters. Yet only 6th in run scored. A run for approximately every 7.5 PAs.

Gerry - Cramer died in Manahawkin, New Jersey at 85 years of age. There is a street there named in his honor (Doc Cramer Blvd.). There was also formerly a youth baseball tournament, the Doc Cramer Invitational Baseball Tournament, held in Manahawkin every July.
Johnny Twisto Says:
March 31st, 2011 at 12:43 am
wonder who has the most productive hits. I'll guess Gehrig.
Interesting question. With substantial playing time, the leader, unsurprisingly, is Babe Ruth, with 0.060 WAR per hit. Gehrig had .044. With a minimum of 3000 PA, 13 players have had at least .040 WAR per hit (the others are Bonds, Mays, Hornsby, T. Williams, Mantle, Schmidt, Morgan, Mathews, Pujols, J. Robinson, Tenace).
Gerry Says:
March 31st, 2011 at 2:06 am
@21, thanks. If I make it to 85, I'll have to move to Manahawkin, maybe they'll name a street after me, too.

Camden Yards
Very much a throwback to ballparks from years gone by, Baltimore's Camden Yards often elicits comparisons to its early 20th-century influences Ebbets Field, Shibe Park, Fenway Park, Crosley Field, Wrigley Field, and the Polo Grounds. After replacing Memorial Stadium as the home of the Baltimore Orioles in 1993, Camden Yards started the trend of building asymmetrically-shaped retro ballparks in downtown districts that has continued into the 21st century.By TBP

Delicious burgers! We are big, big fans of gorgonzola cheese and mushrooms so we were absolutely in heaven. The only change I made was to leave the mustard out of the filling. Definitely on my go-to burger list and I have all summer to enjoy them again and again. : )
Blue cheese plus mushrooms, heaven.
Thankyou for posting this delicious burger. I had some leftover blue cheese that I wasn't quite sure what to do with and I am so glad that I tried your recipe. I hope you get many more reviews this is a keeper! I served it with parmesan zucchini sticks...so good. I added a little bit of steak seasoning to the burgers and on my buns I used butter lettuce, tomato slices and thousand island dressing....thanks again!!!!!:)
I added fresh garlic to the beef mixture and also the cream cheese mixture, I have made something similar to this in the past but without horseradish, I loved that addition, we really enjoyed these tonight with your grilled zucchini recipe, thanks Breezer!
These were amazing!! I halved the recipe and because I couldn't find bleu cheese, I used Gorgonzola. The cheese mixture alone could be a great veggie dip! I also used Portabella mushrooms to top them off. Thanks for a keeper!
Really yummy burgers! I have to confess, I didn't measure all of the ingredients exactly, and likely ended up with more horseradish and cheese than called for, but we really enjoyed these burgers. The only significant change I made was not to included onion in my filling. Instead, I sliced a whole onion and added it to the mushrooms, so we had the onion on the outside instead of the inside. We also opted to serve these open faces on half slices of artisan bread instead of buns. I'll definitely make these again. Made for ZWT6.
This was a delicious burger! We really enjoyed the cream cheese/blue cheese (we used gorgonzola) stuffing and the horseradish sauce gave it the perfect zing. DH claims he is not a fan of blue cheese and he even enjoyed these burgers. We used shiitakes for the mushrooms. We easily halved all ingredients to suit for 4. Thanks for posting! Made for ZWT6.
This was a great burger. I loved the mushrooms and added more than called for. The only thing that we adjusted was we like our blue cheese strong, so I orginally had doubled the amount in the cheese mix and in the end we still landed up adding more. Made for ZWT6
Awesome burgers! I dcleidn't have horseradish sauce (or this recipe in front of me while preparing dinner) so I left it out. I mixed minced onion and garlic into the beef with some hamburger seasoning and mixed cream cheese and blue cheese for the filling. Steak sauce topped off our burgers and they were scrumptious... Thanks breezermom :)
This was quite the conversation piece. I made them so big that my husband wondered if I had asked him to grill meatloaves. We cut them in half and throughout the entire meal we couldn't express enough good words. I'm hoping in years to come my kids will talk fondly of the day we ate those most delectable mammoth hamburgers.

First of all, I've tried to use the search function, but it seems not to work and I haven't found a similar topic, so sorry if the question was already asked.
The Theme Switcher plugin is listed in the 'Plugins that work' page, but in my blog (WP 2.0) it doesn't work fine.
I have no error messages. Simply, when I click on a theme nothing happens, but if I click again on the same theme it changes.
Is anyone able to tell me something about this problem?
Thank you in advance!

It's Friday and I wanted to put a few words of wisdom into the DBCF blog to end the week. Whether you are in the middle of or thinking about a database migration to SQL Server, or are looking to leverage pieces of the SQL Server ecosystem like SSAS or SSRS, or maybe you like the Microsoft BI tools like ProClarity or BSM, just think of how great life is creating solutions on this platform!
Why do I say that? Well, because that's what the DBCF team does! And it's Friday, so I'm in a jolly mood! No doubt that migrating critical applications in your data center is an undertaking that takes time, money, resources, aspirin and close scrutiny. Microsoft understands that and speaking with us about those issues and how to make the conversion work for you can also lead you to a happy, prosperous weekend!
Creating a functioning, value-added, business-critical BI application has its own challenges. The DBCF offerings that are being trialed right now solve business problems and give you the 80% complete out-of-the-box functionality that you need to start solving complex business problems now!
If you have an Oracle database now, I suggest to download SQL Server from Microsoft.com today. Also download the SSMA migration tool for Oracle. Put your database into SQL and then play around with SQL Server Analysis Services. You can use the cube wizard to begin building business intelligence and browse your data with ProClarity.
Have fun and come back and see us with the results and advice!

He's got an awesome name too. "Eric Alva" nice ring to it!
Oh sure, and maybe we can have an All Gay Brigade for cannon fodder along the lines of Chef's all negro unit in South Park: BLUC.
No thanks.
They're so desperate that they're taking high school drop-outs, felons and drug addicts.
I say repeal the law after the Iraq War is over. Despite the fact that they'd be working for the United States, a right-wing country that hates us and condemns us, an estimated 40,000 young gay men and lesbians would join the service if the ban were lifted today. By keeping the ban in place now, we're saving their lives and preventing them from becoming accomplices to Bush's lies and war crimes.
Absurd? Possibly, but its no more absurd than the people who approved the ban in the first place or the insanity of politics today.
One of the most heroic groups of men in the middle ages were 300 Gay men! They stayed behind(no pun intended) in the face of certain death from the invading Persian army to cover their battered armies retreat.Gay people are just as capable of loving and defending their loved ones and country as Heterosexuals are. Our country is based on FREEDOM; not freedom as dictated by some uptight religous asshole. Even Thomas Jefferson realized that the words of the Constitution spoke of equal rights for ALL men; Black, Gay,or otherwise.Why don`t we all try to embrace a little freedom ourselves.Jesus will love you for it.
As for the current '300', yes gays save Western Civilizaton, AGAIN! Not for the first or last time either. If the film fails to acknowledg this, well there are those who deny the Holocaust or that slavery in the South wasn't all that bad. Still the FACT is - the Spartans were men who had sex with other men and LIKED it.

A report from Comic-Con 2016 on the various ways to celebrate the 50th anniversary of "Star Trek."
One reason people like Queen Latifah is that she likes herself. In most of her roles, she radiates cheer. She can play grim, as in "Bringing Out the Dead," but she has a natural sunniness that makes me, at least, feel good. And she is a real woman, not a skinny woman with too many sharp angles. Jennifer Aniston, who looks perfectly great, makes me worry about her about her self-image when she talks about the baby food diet.
Latifah has never been fat. She has always been plus-size. There is a difference. She is healthy, fit, carries herself with confidence, and looks terrific in "Just Wright" in the kind of clothing a physical therapist might feel comfortable wearing. If you're dragging around feeling low about yourself, you want to know her secret.
This is not a discussion of the Queen's body, however; it's about the whole gestalt. One of the reasons she's the star of "Just Wright" is that few people, and certainly no one in this film, can hold the screen against her. As with many other stars, when she's in a shot, it's about her.
Sure, we go along with the fiction that Scott (Common), the handsome pro basketball player in the movie, is going to marry Morgan (Paula Patton), Queen Latifah's BFF. Sure, we think Patton looks terrific and is a beauty. But, come on. Once Scott injures his knee and hires Miss Wright (Latifah) as his live-in physical therapist, we know he's going to fall in love with her. It's so much easier to fall in love with someone who is necessary to you than someone you are necessary to.
The plot involves Leslie Wright and Morgan as obsessed fans of the New Jersey Nets: Leslie because she loves basketball, and Morgan because she wants to be a player wife. After Leslie has a Meet Cute with the handsome Nets star Scott McKnight at a gas station, she gets invited to his birthday party, and of course takes Morgan along. Scott zooms in on Morgan. Leslie, as a loyal best friend, is accustomed to this.
After Scott gets a knee injury and Leslie becomes his special duty therapist, the trick is to not rush in the direction the movie is obviously moving. Director Sanaa Hamri accomplishes this. She and writer Michael Elliot add enough detail and actual dialogue (you know, people talking about things in more than one syllable) so that we enjoy the growing closer process. Paula Patton's Morgan is a self-centered egotist and no good at care-giving, but hey, that's built into the role.
Hamri is herself an actor-director, with an interesting background; she directed two of Prince's TV specials, and the very good "Something New" (2006), starring Sanaa Lathan (no relation). That was another film about a woman and man gradually discovering they're in love, which is always more fun than the first-sight deal. Here Common isn't called upon to do much heavy lifting in the acting department, but he plays well with Queen Latifah. Sure, the movie is a formula. A formula that works reminds us of why it became a formula.
"It's a madhouse!"
This movie is trying to kill these women, but they endure.

"Christopher Isherwood's Kind" (1976) Summary and Analysis
The life and work of Christopher Isherwood, as reprised in Christopher and His Kind, was "the voice of humanism in a bad time," Vidal says. The time was pre-World War II, when Isherwood lived in a free-and-easy Berlin with his lover, Heinz, who he later married. The book covers the period of 1929-'39, and is a sequel to Lines and Shadows, published in 1938. Worldwide fame came to Isherwood with the publication of Goodbye to Berlin in 1939, and its opening line: "I am a camera."
